Northern Adviser to Pan American World Always

Besides the obstacles cited by Mr.. Stefans-
son there were others lack of radio stations
for navigation, highest fuel supplies, and ade-
quats upper-air weather observations
ALWAYS LOOKING AHEAD
But Pan American went after all these OBJ
stacles and Whipped theml
BY 1882, after carving airports out of soggy
arctic tundra" and moving tons of glacial
gravel, Pan American was operating an air
route through to Nome, Alaska This was the
farthest North to which any commercial air
line had penetrated at the time.
Pan American was ready, then, to 90 far
ther But political conditions in the North Pa
ciGc area blocked the rest of the route.
There was only one other route available
at that time the longer, Mid-PaciRc route.
The map above will show you that, even from
Los Angeles and San Francisco, this route is
longer than the Northern route to every point
in Eastern Asia North of the Equator. actual
mileages: San Francisco via Mid Pacific route
to Hong Kong, S,679 miles; from Seattle via
Northern route, 6,649 mies-a difference Of
1850 miles. There are still greater savings in
mileage via the Northern route to Tokyo and
Shanghai.)
But since the Northern route was not then
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1946-02-14


available and since there will always be con
siderable traffic from Honolulu to the Philip
pines, China and Japan, Pan American pio-
neered the Mid-PaciGc route in 1885 :. to
Hawaii, to Midway, to Wake, to Guam and to
Manila Two years later the route was pushed
on to Hong Kong.
Thus American ingenuity met the challenge
of the European-aag airlines which were even
then extending their routes to the rich markets
of the East. Thus an American-Aag airline
was first in the toorld to fly the Pacific Ocean
on regular schedule.
READY TO SERVE
Now conditions have changed. With the war
over, this Northern route should be flown.
Thus the last open link in round-the-world
flying can be closed. Government approval of
the application now pending will enable Pan
American to complete the natural Great
Circle route to the Orient started 14years ago.

Over II years ago Twas working ON
Pan Americans North Pacific Routes"
says NIalhsu 3tszanseou
Northern mwaMM~y

On their recent fight from Tokyo to
Washington, d. c.. the B-29's flew over
Alaska. They took the Great Circle route
because it's the shortest route to the
Orient.
But in 1881 the idea Of flying North
to reach the Far East was considered
fantastic, if not impossible.
Here were some Of the obstacles we
had to face IA years ago, presented in the
actual words Of the 'experts':-.
l. You can't fly the North Pacific Great Circle
course because there are no airports.'
2. You can'tHy that route because it goes over
Soviet territory and the United States hasn't
recognized the U.S.S.R.'
8. There are no airplanes with range enough
to fly this route and no big cities on the way
for building up passenger revenue.
4. And finally the weather is impossible
Despite these physical, political and
technical obstacles, Pan American Always
went ahead.
Why? Because GEOGRAPHIC never
changes and geography said The Northern
route is the shortest!''

The Seraphs of Los Angeles, per- sistent challengers Of the never headed Seals of San Francisco, at tempt to sock the precarious edge out from under the pace-making mound staff in this weeks series of Pacific Coast League baseball.
 Heavy hitting Lloyd Christopher and his Angel mates frightened and nudged the Seals from half game back and wound up last week a game and a half behind.
 These two rivals popped to the head of the league at the seasons start, and Los Angeles in second or third place has been tugging all the way at the Seals lease on the pinnacle.

 sizzling Boston Red Sox open their first western tour and the puzzling St. Louis Cardinals come east to wrestle with the first-place Brook lyn Dodgers.

 smash the Major league standard the Chicago Cubs hung up in 1929 when they played before 1,485,7 ,766 at Wrigley Field.
 Detroit is beginning to catch fire 'as the Tigers flash the form that led them to a pennant and world series triumph last fall. Steve O'Neill's champs, who roll ed to their eight straight, yesterday, greet Washington, Philadelphia, Boston and New York in order on their first protracted home stand.
 .Sor Tn West As Boston rocketed through the east to win p of it's 26 starts, the experts delayed final judgment on the team pending it's first vest ern tour. The Sox open in Chicago today and won't be back in Fenway Park until May 25 when they en- gage the Tanks. So far they have not lost a game to a western team.
 Although Hal Newhouser was knocked from the box for the first time this season, the Tigers picked up six easy runs in a wild second inning to gain a 6-5 edge over Chicago.

 While the Tanks were flying to St. Louis on the first of series of plane hops, the Browns were splitting a doubleheader at Cleve- land Red Embree turned back St. Louis with five blows iii the open CT, knocking in three runs of the tribes 9-2 margin.

JACK BENNY ONE FEATURE IN BILL

A fantasy, pure and simple, but one that combines the happy hi- jinx of Jack c"Love In lBloomD Benny, the blonde beauty of Alexis Smith and the incomparable com cdy script-writing of Sam Hellmsn and James V. Kern, is Warner Bros newest hit, The Horn Blows at Midnight, which is the feature at the 20th Century.
 Dolores Moran, also featured in the production, models a dozen lov- ely gowns in the film, none of which weighs for than four ounces. Miss Moran, you see, is the type of girl who can wear such scanty ap- parel with breath-taking results. Ways claimed her makeup weigh ed more than her costumes.

 ROUNDUP
BY HUGH FULLERTON

NEW YORK, May 14.-Bob Eel Ter isn't the only no-hit pitcher this seascn-merely the best. :. For example: Bill Fuchs, manager of Leland in the Florida State League tossed no-hitter against St. Augustine recently and lost it 6-5. Fuchs usually plays the out field and his wildness, plus errors, gave the Saints their runs. i. :. Earlier the same evening Ketter- linus High School of St. Augustine didn't get hit but whipped Bolles Military School of Jacksonville, 3-0 In Boston Don Tomsick pitched no-hit ball for 8 2-3 innings and mad 3-2 count on the last man. Then he blew and lost the game 5-4 in the eleventh.
 In the opening game of the North Carolina State League Ray Lindsey of Lexington retired 26 men without a hit and had two strikes on the 27th before Thomas yille's Tom Feola cracked a single. Lindsey was luckier. He won 60.

Brush Burning Laws
Strictly Enforced

Strict enforcement of Maryland
brush burning laws is in effect
throughout Southern Maryland
Counties.
Maryland law prohibits burning
brush, debris, or house trash be-
fore 4 P. b., or after midnigh:
under penalty of fines ranging
from $40 to $500 and not more
than six months in Jail.
Several fires have already been
reported, and District Forester
William A. Parr at Laurel, warned
that the prolonged dry spell now
in progress has intensified the
fire danger, and urged that ex-
t"eme care be taken by anyone do
ing burning.
Precautions must be taken at
ell times to prevent the spread of
fire, and sufficient men equipped
with tools must be on hand at all
times. If within two hundred feet
OF woods, or materials that will
carry fire to woods, ten foot
strip must be cleared of all in
fammable material completely
around the fire to prevent its
spread.
Parr, also urged that hunters,
campers, and tourists be careful
with fires, and with cigarettes, in
order that forest fires may be kept
at a minimum in the area.

Strawberries Need
Fertilizer Now
To Assure AZ Crop

Fertilize the strawberry beds
now, since Strawberries form their
fruit buds for next years crop
during the late summer of this
year, advised A. v. Vierheller.
Maryland extension horticultural
today. Complete fertilizer with a
good nitrogen content such as 300
POUNDS of 6-8-6, or 200 pounds of
1864 is a good mixture to apply
in late August or early September.
I" each acre of plant bed. Nitrate
CT soda may be used alone where
soil is reasonably fertile, $50 lbs.
per acre, carefully applied as a
side dressing along the plant row.
Nitrogen enters the plant and is
used in growth or is stored in
the plant. During the dormant
period the flower or fruit buds
develop into final form and a good
nitrogen supply increases the
number of buds which are formed
and in turn increases the yield.
Apply fertilizer when foliage is
dry to prevent foliage burning and
sweep off the plants with pine
brush or burlap sack to remove
the fertilizer from the leaves.
Such applications should be made
only at a time when the soil is
reasonably moist, or the plants
may be burned.
| The time to build soil fertility
for Strawberries is before the
! plants are set. Strawberries are a
, short rotation crop occupying the
land for three summers. If the
soil is fertile and capable of hold
ing moisture, at the time of plant
ing, the production of good crops
is much easier.
Since strawberries are suscep-
= tible TO weather conditions in
spring, it is risky to apply heavy
amounts of nitrogen fertilizer just
before blossoming as the berries
may become soft if the spring is
rainy one. The berries may be-
come somewhat soft anyway under
rainy conditions, but the soft
Eess is increased if there is toe
much quickly-available nitrogen in
t the soil at ruit-development time
