NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y, Aug

lowered between the roles OF mis-
understood explorer and spectacle
lar charlatan in tn yes OF the
twentieth century public, was end
ed to lay by death.
The claimant to discovery OF the
North Pole succumed at the age
of rs in the New Rochelle hospital,
having survived a cerebral hemor'

a presidential pardon for an OLD

Cooks claim that he had reach

His controversial trip to the pole
in LOO led to the ~ppointment Of
a committee which examined his
data-and rejected it.
Cook dropped into obscurity,
from which he emerged as a vaud-

he went into Texas Oil promotion,
and in 1923 was convicted of mai.
fraud, fined $40, 900 and sentenced
to IA years in Leavenworth. His

British Flying Boat

CUARDSMEN START
DIXIE MANEUVERS
Generals Weather And Mud
Take Charge AS 10000
Prepare For Games

CAMP BEAUREGARD, La, Aug.
b-R-Generals Weather and MUD,
time-honored commanders OF many
a battlefield, took charge today as
TO- 900 southern troops and National
Guardsmen moved up for war man
euvers here in mid-August.
Troops unloading from stream,
lined trucks and aforementioned
trains in the Sabine river valley
here came squarely up against
their oldest foe-rain and mud-as
they sloshed through the p
woods to pitch camp for training
before their actual warfare.
The nameuvers, bringing togetn-
er in simulated conflict regular ar
my troops and National Guardsmen
of Is southern and southwestern
states from the Carolinas to Arl-
iona fighting under a single COM
mand, are part of similar maneu-
vers throughout the country IN
which 24O, 900 men r participant
ing this month.
One principal complaint OF con-
troll officers when 0 1000 regular ar
my troops fought here in May
in the army's greatest peacetime
maneuvers was that the weather
was too benign and had offered no
problem except for an occasional
rainy day.
Apparently it will be different
this time. Continuous rains have
fallen over Louisiana and Mississ-
ippi for more than a month.
Little inconvenience was caused
troops using modern methods OF
transport until they actually made
camp off the paved highway at
Camp Shelby, Miss, Camp Beau
regard, along the Sabine and in
east Texas where the Red army of
the west was gathering its forces
to meet the Blue of the east.
The National Guardsmen will
continue assembling until Wednes-
day when they enter an intensive
weeks training to prepare and con-
dition them for the four days &C
tual warfare.
The war maneuver itself is ex-
pected to follow plans worked out
in the May games, when an i'm
provised blitzkrieg completely upset
the general staff plans and left a
smaller and speedier force victors
over a numerically superior army
using standard tactics of warfare. 4

MT. LAKE PARK

A new road project for the Park
has been approved. Not only that but
men are now working on the road.
This new section of improvement will
take care of what is probably one of
the worst roads in the Park-the old
Youghiogheny. Glade Drive. This much
travelled street has for years been a
veritable mud-hole. Each year for
many, many years it has been patched
and patched some more, only making
it harder to travel. The end of this
improvement will be at the bowling
alley. Some day we may have a nice
road to the lake.
There is something rather thrilling
to tune in on your radio and suddenly
| hear the name and voice of someone
