This story. telling OF the dangers
Ellsworth 1Oould encounter, 1ods
uritten before the flight.
NEW YORK, December 26 (NAN.
A. ).-Lincoln Ellsworth's flight with
Bernt Balchen across the Antarctic
continent is an effort to bisect one OF
the great unknown areas of that land,
an area which has been in recent
years OF most interest geologically.
The flights made by Admiral Byrd
and Harold June recently from Little
America have added to the i'm
portance of Ellsworth's flight, if any
thing, because their discoveries indl-
cate that the land masses of Marie
Byrd Land and the polar plateau it
self are ioined some distance inland
southeast of the Ross Sea.
The flight is one of the most dam
gerous ever undertaken and if Ellis
worth and his pilot are so unfortunate
as to come down, with no hope OF
getting off again, on the first hall
of their trip. they will probably be
beyond rescue.
Walking out would be impossible
and even If Byrd's planes could reach
them by relays-which is doubtful
it would be a miracle if they could
be located in that vast and deSolate
waste of snow.
Their greatest danger at this time
of year is due to cloudy weather or
quick changes. If they can be as
sured Of good weather at Little Amer
lea when they reach there, their dan
ger from this cause will be removed
because Balchen has proved on many
flights, particularly the one with Byrd
across the Atlantic, that he can fly
blind for long periods of time. And
this time he has better instruments.
Bad weather in the middle of the
flight would prevent careful study OF
the surface contours, but it would not
necessarily be dangerous if the plane
motor keeps running.
But good weather at the start and
at the finish of the flight is essential
Ellsworth will hit the unknown, be-
yond the limits of Sir Hubert Will
kin's flight. very quickly because OF
the speed Of his plane, and what he
sees on the first part of the journey
will be second in interest only tc
his observations just before reaching
the limit of Byrd's trip to the south
east.

THE TotL OF REcKLESsNEss

We have said good deal from time to time in
warming and criticism of the carelessness which is
the cause of most fatal automobile accidents.
Most of it will bear repeating, over and over
again, in view of the recent one day record when
az persons were killed in the United States.
Unfortunately, it is not always the person who
is careless who suffers most in any such
Sometimes but not always, the precautions of
careful driver may prevent the accident which
would have been the fault of another.
In which case, probably; the reckless driver
thinks only that he has been able to "get away
with it's again, and is encouraged to continue on
his reckless way. '
What ought to be done in case like this is co
hale ths reckless driver before authority even if
he has not on this occasion done any actual dam
age, and give him good dose of the punishment
which is prescribed for his ofense.
Often it MAY have been someone eises credit
and not his that he has not killed or seriously
injured somebody by his reckless act.
Automobile driving regulations REQUIRE one 70
drive with reasonable care at all times.
If motorists generally would talks pains to see
to it that the reckless and careless driver is not
allowed to ''get away with it, without being called
to account In some way, it should be distinctly
discouragng to such reeklessness and careessness.

SECOND PRIMARY

On every hand one hears arguments against our
primary system. The man who dares to call for a
second primary is criticised and denounced Tor
putting the state to extra expense. 1t does not
occur to these critics that the state has put itself
to such expense in the adoption of the primary sys-
TEN for selecting nominees for public office. Ihey
blame candidates rather than the law itself.
Of course it would be simple enough for all the
candidates for given office to withdraw after
the first primary and let the honor go to the high
man. but that would defeat the very object for
which the device was conceived. That would be a
selection by candidates rather than by the people.
II we are going to practice that we might as we'll
eliminate the first primary by having the eandi-
dates Select the nominee and thus the initial
expense.
This writer is not sold the primary by any
means; although it is perhaps the best scheme yet
discovered for determining the will of the voters.
It is expensive but all democracy is expensive. II
we are not willing to pay for the privilege of hav-
ing the majority rule, then We ought to get us an
emperor to emp over us and have done with poll
ties altogether As long as we dance to the music
of the popular will we must pay the bills of the
