ROUND THE-WoRLD FLIGHT

Howard Hughes last July IA
completed a round-the-world hop
in slightly over 3 days and 10
hours Admiral Richard f. Byrd,
strange as it seems. flew around
the world twice in 10 minutes.
Both flights We're made far from
the equator. neither girdling the
world at its widest part, yet Byrd's
record stands today merely as the
first flight to the North Pole and
not primarily as a globe-circling
achievement
At 1890 a. m, May 9, 1926, Ad-
miral Byrd took off in the plane
Josephine Ford from an improv-
ised field at Kings Bay, Spitz-
bergen, for the first flight to the
North Pole.
In a little less than 9 hours-at
9:02 a. m.-he was over the pole.
Circling the top of the world twice
to confirm his position, he headed
back to Spitzbergen at 9:15 a. m,
thus flying around the world twice
in Is minutes.
Time and direction became con-
fused at the pole; when the plane
crossed it Byrd was heading south
instead of north. without changing
his course. In circling the pole
twice to the right, he theoretically
passed through two whole days in
13 minutes.

At this date unrest and critical
attitude on the part of workers
is indicated.
Women are subject to unfavor-

not justified by talents. Warn

There is a promising sign for
thinkers and leaders in the edu-
cational and political world. The
stars presage advancement of
liberal advocates who recognize
world trends.
The week is not likely to be
suspicious for new enterprises,
although there is to be a period
of prosperity in the United

Your HEALTH

Since most of the deaths from
carbon monoxide poisoning oc-
cur in garages or in factories or
in mines where numbers of men
may be exposed to the gas at
one time. the health sections of
the various labor departments
and of various industries have
worked out a series of recon-
mendations to be followed when
ever one or more persons sud-
denly become unconscious as a
result of exposure to carbon
monoXide gas.
1t might be well is every fac
tory where this possibility exists,
in the gas industry, among fur
mace workers, in steel mills, cell
luloid manufacturers, acetylene
welding. brass foundries. ga
RACES and service stations. and
indeed in every home where il
Illuminating gas is used, that the
following eight warnings be
familiar:
| II there is yellow flame
heating your machine, report
this fact at once. There should
be a blue flame at all times.
A yellow flame gives off car
bon-monoXide.
2. Never use a gas-heated APP
pliance which is connected by
flexible rubber or metal tubing.
The only flexible tubing which
does not leak is an approved
cloth-covered tubing.
3. Do you suppose that you
can find a leak in your tubing
by running lighted match
along it? 1t will light only
when there is a very large leak.
There may be many small leaks
which make it dangerous to
work at your machine, even
though those places do not per-
nit enough gas to go through
to actually light when you apply
a match.
4. When you are working over
an open flame, do not put any
utensil on the fire which covers
the flame too completely. This
keeps the air out, and increases
the amount of carbon monoXide
gas produced.
5. Do not try to patch leak
or make any adjustments your
self. Close off the gas till the
repair man comes.
