anphibian at Port Morcsby. He replaced her
bombing apparatus with equipment of his
own design for dropping provisions by para
chute. and with navigation instruments. As
lust one test of the plane, he flew her from
san Diego to New York - the first nonstop
crossing of the American continent by a
flying boat.
When he was almost ready. to leave, the
world was stunned by a calamity. Sgsmund
Lcvancvsky and his companions were re-
ported lost in the Arctic in an attempt to fly
from Moscow to New York. The Soviet
government engaged Sir Hubert Wilkins to
find them, but the only available craft stout
enough for those prolonged polar flights was
the Cuba ArChbold relinquished her for Sir
Hubert rescue mission.
In few months he had another Cuba and
began to put her through exhaustive test
flights His principal camp in New Guinea
was to be on the shore of Lake Habbema,
l. 500 feet above sea level So he needed to
be sure the Cuba would be able to lift pay
load of 23,7OO pounds at that altitude.
Archbold's tests convinced him the plane
would do this and how we'll he calculated
we shall see shortly.

mathematics and the sciences would have
been excessively bored by campus life any

higher education from tutors, Archbold took
special postgraduate courses at Columbia in
biology and comparative anatomy.

As HE grew up he became keen on noun
taineering. BY the time he was twenty-five he
had clambered up all the difficult peaks in the
United States and then went on to scale the
most hazardous in the Monte Rosa, the
Bernese Oberland in Switzerland. and the
district around Mont Blanc.
With these accomplishments under his belt
he was ready for serious work in the field of
exploration He did not try to begin at the
top all at once by dint of his money. He
went at the job of equipping himself method
ically, starting in as a subordinate. His first
voyage of scientific exploration was to NADIA
gascar, where he remained from 1929 to 1881
as assistant mammaOgist and photographer
to a geological mission.
By 1888 Archbold had joined the staff of
the American Museum of Natural History
and become Research Associate in Nam
malogy In collaboration with other scientists
he had written several monographs on new
species of mammals. To make work easier for
himself and Others he compiled photography
on the mammals of Australasia, formidable
Job it is considered one of the most complete
in the scientific world.
The first expedition he took out as leader
was to the British part of New Guinea in
1888, where it obtained valuable specimens.
But Archbold was dissatisfied. He had not
penetrated as far as he wanted because of the
tremendous difficulties of transport in New
Guinea Going by foot it takes large safari

Unless heavy frosts strike. this

few weeks, New Hanover county
food buyers will enjoy unusually low
prices on vegetables this spring,
farmers and produce dealers here
predicted yesterday.
If the weather remains as is, the
severe winter in southern United

planting will result in truck crops

vegetables available, prices will OF
necessity be lower.
Crops are approximately two
weeks late as they now stand and
with a cold snap they will be delay
ed even further. This will cut down
the harvest and will raise prices.
Truck in New Hanover is now well
under way, farmers said. Lettuce,
radish, carrots, beets, spinach, salad
crops and many other vegetables are
now out and will be ready for mar
ket within a few weeks. Practically
the same condition is found in the
two neighboring states.

STATE

Attractions concluding their en- agreements this evening at the War. ner Bros. State theater aSe "Give Us Wings" starring Dead End" kids; also w. c. Fields in "The Bank Dick".
 Tomorrow the State ushers in another superb double hit program with the thrilling adventure film, Trail of the Vigilantes" starring Franchot Tone, as the headliner.
 Tone plays the first western role of his career in this picture and he brings a new and refreshingly different character to this popular type of picture.
 As an undercover agent sent by city newspaper to the frontier in search of the murderer of a re- porter, Tone becomes a tenderfoot cowboy who is led into 8 series of adventures that are both amusing and exciting.
 Sharing honors with Tone in roles aptly suited to their talents are such well known performers as Warren William, Frederick Crawford, Andy Devine, MiScha Auer, Porter Hall, Peggy Moran, Samuel s. Kinds, Charles Trowbridge and others.
 The presence of Auer and Devine in the cast gave the producers ample opportunity to inject comedy into the action and they took every ad- vantage of it. And in addition, the background scenery of the film is both picturesque and beautiful.
 Hollywood's gayest night spot, Earl Carols theater-restaurant, will move right into town during the presentation of the second big hit "A Night At Earl Carrolls.
 The big cast includes one hundred of the most beautiful girls in the world-plus Ken Murray, Rose Ho- bart, Brenda and Cobina of radio fame, Earl Carroll himself, Lillian Cornell, J. Carroll Naisl, Lela Moore. Jack Norton and many others.
 You won't want to miss this splendid program, so make sure you see it early./ Remember it opens a four day engagement at the State tomorrow afternoon.
