This fact. however, upholds the theory upon
which my original plans were based.
1t seemed to me that the only really safe and
sensible plan in regard to such long flight over
territory with unknown typographical condi-
tions and from where it was impossible to get
any meteorological data for weather forecasting
was to set out in fine weather fly as far as the
weather was good. and, if the point reached was
more than 500 miles from our base, land at the
edge of the bad weather and wait for 1t to
clear. BY landing while still in good weather,
a suitable surface for q landing could be
selected and furthermore, by so doing, We could
augment our observations
From the very start my whole organization
was built upon that plan. I selected low
winged monoplane not only because of its
supreme efficiency, but partly because its low
wing and pedestaled landing gear were the best
available for fastening the machine to the snow
1 and lay over throughout blizzard. My pilots

climbed the 5O0-foot slope to where
the airplane Polar Star stood groomed
and ready for the flight. Her gross
load was between 1900 and 5000

PANEL IN LIGGETT
CASE FILLS SLOWLY
Four Jurors Secured in First
Four Days of Trial of
Blumenfeld.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MINNEAPOLIS, January 23-Four
jurors sat in the box as the trial of
Isadore (Kid Cann) Blumenfeld went
into its fourth day today. Indica-
tions were that several days more
would be needed to complete the panel
which will hear the case against the
man charged with the murder of
Walter w. Liggett, weekly newspaper
publisher.
One juror, woman, was chosen
Monday, two men were selected Tues
day and third man was picked yes
terday, all after close questioning by
State and defense attorneys.
So closely did counsel examine that
~ veniremen had been called OF
the 43 excused, most were dismissed
for bias.
So pronounced was the prejudice
in the case of one talesman yesterday
that the nonchalant Blumenfeld. who
earned the Cam name as a boxed
several years ago, dropped his mask
of indifference to smile broadly.
The veniremen being questioned was
Arnold Weis, who had been accepted
by Defense Counsel Thomas Nc
Meekin. Prosecutor Peter S. Nelson
asked if he had an opinion.
YES" replied Weis.
Does it go to the guilt or inno-
cence of the defendant?" Nelson
asked.
1T goes to innocence" Weis an
swered. He was challenged for bias
and dismissed.
Mrs. Bessie Turritin said she was
not prejudiced because Cam was a
liquor salesman. but his two convic-
tions for dry law offenses would sway
her, she admitted. She was excused
A prospective defense witness, Ar.
thur Zekman, expected to testify q.
to the credibility of Wesley Andersen
star State witness, was excused. A
defense challenge, upheld by thu
Board of Triers, against Mrs. Berth;
Miller, was visibly disappointing Il
Mrs. Harry F. Rydell, only woman OF
the jury thus far, who apparentl,
hoped for a woman companion.
Liggett was killed by a machine
gunner December 9 as he stepped
from his automobile at the rear o
his home. Andersen and Mrs. Liggett
pointed out Blumenfeld as the slayer

SWAY Delegation Seen.
Best guess among the best guessers
is that the largest of all State dele
cations to the coming Republican con-
vention will be split three ways. They
expect New York to be divided among
Knox, Borah and Landon.
The Idaho farm orator will prob
ably get the bulk OF the upstate
farm delegates. 1t is not generally
kno,Un, but he has been playing
ball NTH this cro,pd for many
years.
The other two entries will split
most Of the rest, with Hoover having
few.

Here, in Syracuse. you can find
some of the important particulars In
the national bill of health. The gen.
eralities which you may have heard
about relief, unemployment, business
and politics can be reduced to specific
provable fundamentals.
No. THE business outlook has
perked up considerably since the turn
OF the year. One large factory is
about to reopen and there is talk of
reopening another. General Motors
closed up its branch here when the
depression started. It employed 5000
men at the pre-depression peak. Now
it will open up on smaller scale
(employing about 300 at the start) to
make headlights and tenders.
The old Franklin car was made here,
until the depression stopped it. Now
some negotiations are supposed to be
under way looking toward resumption
of production.
These things make the local people
think in entirely different terms than
they have been thinking for the last
few years.
The Syracuse relief load has
been cut from 1884 peak of 10000
persons to about $4,000 currently.
That means it has been reduced
about hall. II General Motors
and Franklin could hit their peak.
the entire relief roll could be ab-
sorbed. OF course, this Il not in
early prospect.
The population Of the city Is about
100000. Thus about 10 per cent now
is on relief. The method and burden
of handling them IS . main topic OF
political and private discussion.
Local w. P. A. Office was organized
last July, but dallied until October.
Real activity did not begin until week
before the election last November
Then 1000 reliefers were transferred to
work.

ny AO0AN (LENOENINN3, NJ -.
THERE ARE four little glands in
the neck behind the thyroid, known as
the "parathyroids", which have to
do with calcium nutrition, bone and
tooth growth.
An interesting recent development
in the study of these important
structures has been that Of Wilder
and Howell, Of the Mayo Clinic, who
have found that parathyroid dis
turbance occurs most often in the
northern part Of the United States
that Is, in the regions receiving rela-
lively little sunshine. This finding
hooks up with the known facts about
the influence Of sunshine upon that
disorder of bone and tooth growth
known as Tickets.
We have often pointed out in this
column that sunshine has a definite
influence upon the development Of
ricketts,. This is particularly due to
the fact that bone health is dependent
upon the presence Of Vitamin D in
the blood stream, and Vitamin D is
formed in the animal body by the
action Of sunshine on the skin.
The whole cycle makes an inter-
esting example Of the interdepend-
ence of different functions of the
body. Bone is made from calcium.
and calcium is obtained in the food.
A deficiency of calcium will cause
ricketts,. and yet sufficiency of cal
cium in the diet, in the absence of
other factors. will not prevent rick
cts. These other factors are (irst)
the presence Of Vitamin D and (sec-
ond) the function Of the parathyroid
glands.
What apparently happens is that
the bones and teeth utilize calcium
only when the calcium is activated
by Vitamin d, and the bony cells

NEW YORK, January 18.-The in
creased demand in 1885 for luxury
items, from which retailers derive a
greater profit, will extend into 1886,
according to new report issued by
Poor's Publishing Co. ON department
store and mail order companies.
Among the latter. Montgomery Ward
leads the way in breaking away from
the traditional price appeal, and plac-
ing comparatively greater emphasis on
quality in their Winter catalog, in
which they say: 1--WE have more and
better higher-priced goods than ever

port. December sales, for instance,
in metropolitan New York were 2.7 per
cent ahead of those OF a year ago,
whereas sales in that section for the
first II months of 1885 were only
per cent ahead of 1884.
Improved purchasing power was
demonstrated by increases in factory
employment and gains registered in
farm income during 1885. BY Novem-
ber, factory employment had risen
rs per cent from January of last
year, while pay rolls advanced l6
per cent.
Farm income in particular regis
tered impressive gains during 1885.
official estimates placing it at more
than IL per cent ahead of 1884, the
best since 1880. This situation has
been responsible for a comparatively
better showing made by mail order
companies.
"The fact that they can produce
new record sales indicates the volume
of business that may be expected in
the retail field generally. once con-
sumner purchasing power Is re-estab-
lished on a broad front.
