NORTH TRIP IS
 PLANNED BY WILKINS

Sir Hubert Wilkins. Arctic and Antarctic explorer, who on two of his Arctic expeditions, was in Fairbanks, has arrived in New York with plans for a submarine voyage of 2,200 miles from Spits bergen, Norway, through the Northwest Passage to a point in the Boring Sea off Alaska, accord ing to mail advices received in Fairbanks.
 The purpose of the expedition would be 10 study weather condi tions. Wilkins says he has appll- cations from about 5000 per sons, 800 of them women, seek ing to accompany him.
 As yet he has no submarine
 The explorer plans to arrange for construction of the subnar- inc in the United States this sum
 
 ner and to undertake his voyage next year.
 Unsettled conditions generally in Europe, and the Squalus and Thetis submarine disasters, part icularly, caused three shipbuild- ing concerns, in England to can- eel negotiations for construction of an underwater craft for Will kins. Having exhausted the pos abilities of shipyards in Europe, Wilkins has come to the United States to get the kind of vessel he wants.
 Wilkins recently accompanied Lincoln Ellsworth on steamship Wyatt Earp on an Antarctic eX- pedit:on to Princess Elizabeth Land.
 The first time Wilkins was in Fairbanks, he failed to make a flight from Alaska to Spitsberg- en over Polar seas. The next time which was in the spring of 1928, he made the crossing from Bar TOW to Spitsbergen, reaching on the flight as far north as 84 de grees.
 In the winter of 1937-38, Will kins flew as far north as 88 de- grees, in his search for the lost Russian fiiers.

Sulfapyridine Is Third Method.
The third method of combating
the disease, which kills more than
100000 persons each year, is the
use OF sulfapyridine, the drug which
stops the pneumococcus germs from

blood cells of the body can overcome
them.

peared to be more effective than

BEACH |
AGAIN IN THE /.
HEAD LINES

The summer resort village of Estral
Beach, located in Monroe county just
south Of the Wayne county line, on
Lake Erie, is again reaching the head
lines.
Last Friday, members Of the state
police. acting upon orders of the State
Liquor Control Commission, descended
OH the town and took up the two IL
quOr licenses held there.
Those deprived Of their right to sell
intoxicants were Peter SOvey's hotel,
the Casino, operated by Wilbur Suy-
landt, and Clarence Saville, specially
designated merchant.
The trouble started when the vii
lage Council voted, to 3, against
granting a hotel license to SOvey. A
lawyer representing SOvey charged
that the vote was illegal. for the rea-
SOU that one Of the members, Saville,
was in the liquor business himself.
COnfiScation Of the licenses followed.
As d result Of the liquor row, petit
tiOns were circulated asking for the
recall of President Fred w. LaPearl
and three of the cOuncilmen, Saville,
Theodore ROZanski and Ernest Reno.
The petitions, which require signing
by % per cent of the qualified electors
were given to Mrs. Loretta FOisy, vii
lage clerk, for u checkup. If the petit
ton Is found to be lagal, recall cleo
ton must be held within two weeks.
The recall petitions are based upon
revocation of SOvey's license, and al
legations Of misuse Of village funds,
and malfeasance in office.
Years ago a number Of Monroe and
Wayne county residents purchased lots
at EStral Beach and erected cottages
for summer homes. The new pOpula-
ton, unable to secure better roads and
other improvements needed from the
few farmers living in the section, con-
ceived and carried out successfully a
plan to incorporate as village. By
making Estral Beach their legal place
of residence, the cOttagers are able to
control the affairs Of the new town.
Normally, the population of the village
is around 80 persons, but during the
resort season this is swelled TO some
thing like 800.
Charles III. Gentle of WyandOtte is
treasurer Of the village and has been
for several years. Mr.. Genthe, however,
is not involved in any way i'm the pre-
sent Squabble.

What Age Limit
for Safe Driving?

DIR. Lowell =. Selling, pSychiatriSt
for the Recorders Court i'm Detroit,
has fathOmed the prOfundity of his
knowledge by rendering an opinion
that no one over 40 years Of age should
he permitted To drive an automobile
The opinion was given in connection
with the case IF an S9-year-Old man
convicted of reckless driving
Selling was supported by lieuten-
ant of the Detroit police department.
Immediately there was vigorous OPP
position 10 this opinion.
H. o. Rounds, director of the safe
~ and traffic division Of the AutOmO-
bile Club of Michigan, who is 70 years
Of age and has been driving fer -
years without an accident, declared !:
Age has no relation to driving. If you
are a good driver at 80 or 90, there is
no reason why yos sheud not he a
good driver at 70 unless there are
serious physical defects to consider"
Unofficial figures of the Detroit Ac-
cident Prevention Bureau carry their
own refutstion Of Settings theory.
These figures show that during, the
past Is months, less than per cent Of
drivers involved In accidents were over
IS. On the other hand. more than .
per cent Of licensed drivers are over
65, showing that old. experienced driv-
ers are twice as safe on the highways
as those who are younger
1t is the callow, smart-alec youths
from IL TO q years old who should be
granted drivers licenses with caution.
They constitute a large proportion of
the reckless drivers guilty Of turning
corners at 80 or 40 miles an hour,
weiving in and out Of traffic lanes.
and otherwise rendering themselves a
menace to mere experienced and more
careful drivers.
