pany has been dealing with the Es- kimos of the Baffin Island area and even farther north on a mutually satisfactory arrangement for many years, things are beginning to change under thre American tnflu- ence. Eskimos used to trade furs for tea and salt and such truck, each thinking the other was a sap and the loser in the bargain. To preserve this happy relationship the Americans who needed little more labor arranged to hire the Eskimos paying the Hudson'S Bay company in cash for the work and then let ting the company extend tea and salt credit to the workers. This system is beginning to break down a little now as the natives learn the value of the white mans civil ization and the refinements brought in by the crazy Americans.
 Hudson'S Bay factors and ESki- mos both managed to get along all right without alarm clocks, for in- stance. till the U. s. forces came in But one Eskimo family now has three alarm clocks in its igloo. None of them keeps the right time or the same time and the Eskimos couldn't tell 1t If they did. But they just like to hear 'em ring.
 There was another Eskimo, hired as 6 guide for the Air Forces Search and Rescue Service, who had his igloo near Crystal Two bar racks. When the U. s. forces in- stalled electric lights needing all the comforts of home even if they were In the far north the Eskimo guide was so intrigued that he asked to have an extension run to his iglo. When the favor was granted he in- sisted on three drop cords with three lights for the one round room.
 The soldiers don't have much to do with the Eskimos because they smell so. But they do trade 'em cigarettes for trirkets like tusk ivory carvings and toy sealskin kyaks, which they varniSh to kill the smell before sending them home to nom or the best girl.
 INITIATION BEGINS
 1nHatlOn mas reacneO ba1un AS" land too. What the soldiers used to get for one cigarette or maybe one pack, now is bartered for no less than a carton. The Eskimos are chain smokers and Hudson's Bay trading posts have kept them pretty well supplied with lighters and fluid. though they're hard to find in the States.
 Scenery up around the Crystals is something that would make even a Hollywood producer Jeal- ous. They're above the timber line. The vast expanses, which everyone who goes into the Arctic raves about, are all there. But in addition, on Bafiln Island there are the tremendous mountains ris- ing precipitously out of the sea. and the deep and tortuous fjords. Crystal Three veterans say it's even more spectacular than Greenland. The thermometer fre- quently hits the minus 40's. Yet planes fly in there all the time. and there's even an Air Transport

 If 1t all sounds too uncivilized for any good use except possibly as a place of exile for Adolf Hitler, you might be interested in knowing about Capt. Willie Knutsen, head of Search and Res cue work at Goose Boy. He got to exploring around Crystal Three last summer and discovered an old Eskimo burying ground. Col- lecting lot of the ivory carvings and siftings from diggings in the area, Re had them worked over by archaeologists who said they probably dated back to 1000 AID. Five hundred years before Co., lumbus discovered America, there was human life on Baffin Island.

 Crystal Two, Frosbisher Bay, Baf- fin Island, Jan. 23--A thousand miles north of Goose Bay, Labrador and almost 2000 miles north of New York City is one of the most lonely and colorful of all the far north bases of the Army's Air Transport Command. Bluie West Eight and Bluie East Two on Greenland are a little farther north, but they are thriving metropoli in the centers of civilization when compared with the remoteness of Crystal Two on Baf- fin Island.
 For all that, Crystal Two has an airport and is hub for an aerial supply line that distributes food and equipment to chain of weath- CT observation posts in 8 300-mile redius. Supplies go into Crystal Two by ship in summer and by plane all the year around for ware housing and redistribution to still lonelier outposts.
 Crystal Two itself started out as a weather observation station on Pugh Island in Frobisher Sound back in the summer of 1922. But Pugh Island was so rugged that an airbase couldn't be built there, all supplies having to be brought in by boat. So late that summer, before the waters froze in, 1t was decided to move. Col. Elliot Roosevelt made few survey flights trying to find a better location but 1t was a Navy guide who finally picked the site on which the construction men moved in to build the new Crystal Two where it is today.
 Mai Angus Sandell, of El Paso Tex, who served as commanding officer from February 1924 until g few weeks ago when he was re- assigned as executive officer al Goose Bay is quite an anomaly IT the far north. Born in Texas, ht spent his entire civilian life in the southwest-California, New Mexico then back to Texas. He was eco official working out of El Past when, in 1883, he got reserve con- mission in the Army, as an 1nfan- try officer. Called to active duty he went into the Air Corps. Imag- inc his surprise to find himself commander of an air base, weather station and supply base just two spits and holler below the Arctic circle, trying to speak Eskimo with 6 Texas draWl.
 This business of dropping sup plies to the weather stations keeps the aerial freight line busy. Army crews have become pretty accurate at dropping the stuff close to sta ton buildings so that ground crews don't have to pack 1t too far over the ice and snow. Major Sandell tells about one supply mission flight on which a 40 pound cut of meat frozen solid in the far north tenn peratures, was dropped right on the roof of the mess shack. It went through the roof like bag Of ce- mcnt and went right on througf the floor, too.

Tonights comedy of comedies of drama of the week both concerns the story of "The Missing Bus and folks this is hangover" story.

No questions the gentemans story but the bus just didn't arrive and we are in position to sum twenty witnesses (mosty angry patrons to sub stantate the claim They waited in the storm for 45

The bus just literally shook with the buzz of comment about the kids being obliged to deposit tokens money in the box We may presume that the office of the C. R. & L. Company received few complaints last evening and it takes less of celebrity than Old Sherlock to deduce that the o'clock bus route to Exchange Place took deour and probably reported at the garage for chains The stranded patrons, residents of Farmount thinking of offering reward for information concerning the bus The reward will be cheerfuly paid evidence is obtained that the bus, of the Leapng Lena type has van shed forever Larger vehicles have been needed the line for months past

THE SUPER-CHICKEN

The poultry world is out to pro-
duce the Chicken Of Tomorrow. 1T
is working on a postwar kluck-
kluck that will give a greater per-
centage of white and dark meat,
fowl that will even have meat on the
neck and wings.
The Baby Chick Association of
America and outstanding poultry
experts are to convene to set stand
ards for the Postwar Bird. If they,
by any chance, get an order Of
chicken on train or in a restaurant
on the way to the meeting, their
zeal for the achievement of their
goal should be warmed 80 per cent.
Our experience with chicken late
ly leads to the conclusion that there
is crying need for a chicken that
will have any meat whatsoever
on it.
we QOn know about the Chicken
OF Tomorrow, but the Chicken of To-
day belongs among the war crimes.
There is not enough meat on most
restaurant chicken to hold the feath-
ers on. They must have been feed
ing these birds plastic cracked corn.
Or is it the fault of the chefs,
whose practice it seems to be to
cook a chicken only in some form
that will magnify its faults?
There may be chickens in Amer
lea with meat on them, but the res
taurants have been getting the other
kind. A good many chefs seek to
cover up the faults of these birds
by serving them in the style called
Southern Fried"
