RADIO EXPERT ROBERT COOKE
 BARROW BOUND
Low Powered Battery Wire less Outfit Adapted
 to Arrtic

A one-act newspaper tragedy in dialogue.
 Scene: Lobby of the Gastineau hotel
 Characters: Robert w. Cooke. 25 years old, an expert in wireless who has become front page news in many papers because he is going to the Arctic to assist Sir Hubert Will kins in his search for the lost Rus sian polar fliers; and a newspaper reporter who is attempting to make Ia hero of Cooke. "Hero?' laughs Cooke, fingerng a roll of official looking charts, I'm just an ordinary workman with wireless direction finding equip lment.'
 Have you ever done anything like this before?"
 I've worked for the Canadian Marconi Company for five years.'
 T mean," founders the reporter, Have you ever gone into the Arc tic like this before?"
 I've been to North Vancouver, |" front page Cooke answered still laughing.
 oh"
 Curtains:
 Robert w. Cooke, then, is not a hero, but by the looks of his thou sand pounds of radio equipment that he will have flown to Point Barrow, he must be somewhat of a radio technician
 He was employed to aid Wilkins, it is understood. because he is an expert. His equipment was decid- ed upon because it works a long time under severe weather condi- tions on low battery power-a de- cided advantage in the Arctic.
 Cooke. no hero, just an expert radio man, left this morning with Pacific Alaska Airways for Fair banks whence he will fly to Barrow where he will set up his wireless station. It is understood that an- other station will be set up, perhaps on Prince Patrick Island.
