PRIEST RETURNS
FROM RESEARCH
IN ARCTIC AREA
Catholic u. Botanist
Brings Specimens

ne WeuG GuTOuBH Tie AECIICs
pulling UP trees by the roots!"
That feat was attributed to
Father Artheme A. Dutilly, re-
search botanist at Catholic Uni
Versity, by Joseph Murphy, public
relations director, who chuckled
rs he said it.
Father Dutilly has just returned
from adventures in the Arctic
having bt en- ice-bound for 13 days
with the possibility Of being
stranded all winter; having shot
O polar bear, and having brought
back thousands of specimens OF
Arctic plant life.
WENT TO STUDY PLANTS
He set out to see what kind Of
plant life would subsiSt under
such rigid conditions.
He is not a tall man, so his feat
with the trees seemed all the more
incredible until he unearthed al
sample Of the trees. They were
only two inches tall!
- They're real willow trees"
he declared.
The specimens were pressed
carefully in stacks of French
newspapers. Some will be mounted
and sent to the vatican Museum
IN Italy. Others which will be
given to the Department Of Agri-
culture, and still more will be kept
ut Catholic University or ex-
changed with universities in other
parts of the world.
Trudging on barren, rocky ter
ritory, Father Dutilly Spied out the
tiny plant life, lurking almost in
Visibly to any except a sharp sci
entific eye. He discovered specl-
mems new to him even though this
was his sixth trip toward the top
Of the globe.
ICEBOUND IN AUGUST
In August when Washington
was sweltering, Father Dutilly, on
the motor ship M. F. ThereSe, was
icebound for nearly two weeks in
Fox Basin, north Of Hudson Bay.
The possibility that the party
would have been trapped there all
winter did not daunt them-they
had Sizable food supplies. And
when news from the European
crisis began to filter in to them
on their radio, the Arctic seemed
q fairly snug place to be, after all.
While the ThereSe was at a
standstill in the ice, the nearest
clear water was 100 miles from the
ship. Part of the feeling of iSola-
ton was broken by Father Dutil-
ly's daily broadcaStS from his sta
ton CYNT.
Asked what discoveries he had
made on this trip, Father DutillyI
smiled and insisted that he wasn't
ready to say.
MIGHT NOT BE NEW
"Some people, who say too
soon that they've made discov-
cries, find out that they've only
rediScovered what had already
been discovered" he said warily.
He must study and classify his
specimens before he will be pre-
pared to give out any conclusions
about the scientific results Of the
expedition.
On these summer trips Father
Dutilly goes on the ship carrying
supplies to mission outposts. He
ha made friends with EskimoS who
have shared their legends and
folklore with him, and who have
helped him to understand the
ancient bone and stone mple-
ments which have been dug up.
Father Dutilly reports that the
Eskimos are becoming modernized.
For instance, some members of
the younger generation want
sweaters in place of the tradi-
tional furs-at least in moderate
weather.
$4,000 SPECIMENS

The Washington times., 1938-11-18
$4,000 SPECIMENS

AS for statistics on the trip,
Father Dutilly had covered 5000
miles in SO days when he returned
to Quebec last month. In the
1900 sheets of specimens which
he brought back are total Of
perhaps as many as $4,000.
Dipping into a stack of his
treasures, he brought up plants
with a silky or woolly texture, de-
veloped to help them weather the
climate. Although he wouldn't
estimate the age of the tiniest
trees he brought back, he pointed
out that one as large as a pencil
was "l3 years old"

 At the prompting of a sudden inspiration, Gargan decides to make an appearance as Steven Knight, pretending that the character real ly exists, and try to find case to work on under the name of his famous sleuth. This, he hopes, will give him an idea for book. At that point the action goes into a dizzying pace that doesn't let down until the end.
 Gargan gets a case to work on and in the process discovers ring of murders at work as an accident syndicate" killing off rich relatives for the enrichment of their heirs.
 The fast conclusion puts the lid on very satisfactory array of swift entertainment, by an able cast including vivienne Osborne, Richard Carle, Roland Drew, Har- ry Beresford and Fully Marshall.

AThree Days Cough Is Your Danger Signal

No matter how many medicines you have tried for your common cough, chest cold, or bronchial irri- tation, you may get relief now with Creomulsion. Serious trouble may be brewing and you cannot afford to take a chance with any remedy less potent than Creomulsion, which goes right to the seat of the trouble and aids nature to soothe and heal the unframed mucous membranes and to loosen and expel germ laden phlegm.
 Even if other remedies have failed, don't be discouraged, try Creomul- sion. Your druggist is authorized to refund your money if you are not fits obtained.
