SPECTER OF ANDREE
Whichever of tha flying men bounc
for unknown regions this summer it
the first to reach the Pole, he probab
ly never will be certain that le ac
tually was the fixst man to fly there
Twenty-nine years ago, with fa)
cruder equipment than any of the ad
venturers this summer are taking, &
Viking airmen tried to sail through
the sky to the end of the earth, Therc
is some evidence that they passed oy
er the Pole, aor very near it, although
what finall yhappened must be rele
pated to Eskimo legend: *
The leader of the party was Prof
Salamon August Andree, a Swedish
scientist and civil engineer interested
in ballooning. His companions were
two other Swedes, Niles Strindberg
and Knut Hjalmar Ferdinand Fraen
kel. Professor Andree was convinced
there were trade winds blowing thru
the upper atmosphere from Spitzber
gen, across the Pole to Nerth Ameri
ca, which would carry his balloon in
safety over the Polar ice cap.
He carried the last word in scien
tific apparatus for his day—only o
génerantion ago. In place of radio ap
paratus he cawried a large quantity of
bottles that he could drop overboard
with messages and a few carrier pig
eons. [Professor Andree’s balloon
measured ninety-seven feet from top
ta bottom, the bag alone being seven
ty-five feet from summit to opening.
It consisted of three thicknesses of
silk glued together and covered with
five coats of varnish.
In the basket was a bedstead upon
which one person might sleep while
the other two made observations and
navigated. On top was a wicker cov
er upon which the observers could
stand and use the instruments ar
ranged in a circle breast high around
the edge.
A cooking outfit was lowered fif
teen feet below the hasket on a rope
It was lighted by pulling a string and
the fire was put out by palling an
other string, Drag ropes were trailed
behind with the expectation that it
would be possible to steer slightly
with them. Diagonally across the bal
loon above the suspension ring ¢
large sail could be rigged to speed
the flight.
On July 6, 1897, the party left Troud
hjen, Norway. On July 8 it passed
the North Cape, and on Sunday, Jul
11, at 2:30 it took off from Dane's
Island, Spitzbergen, with the Pole 60(
miles to the north. The day was clea;
and a strong wind was blowing. As
the balloon started it narrowly escap
ed striking a rock in the Sweeren
burg Sound. As it rose out of the
varying undercurrents of air it swung
about like a carrier pigeon getting its
bearings, then meeting the upper cur
rents which Rrofessor Andree pre
dicted, it started away at the rate o
about twenty-two miles an hour.
For an hour the balloon could be
seen from shore. It was equipped t¢
stay in the air fifty days and carriec
provisions for four manths.
One carried pigeon returned a fev
vays later with li;is message:
“July 13.—12:30 P. M.—82.2 degreo:
.'~t~h latitude, 15.5 degrees each longi
ie. Good progress toward the nortl
goes wel] on board. This messag
the third by carrier pigeon. An
o
w September, 1899, a buoy whicl
ofesser Andree was to have drep
4d overboard when he passed ove:
je Pole, w apsicked up on thie shore
4 King Oharles Island and ident
E.‘_ by’fln inscription “Andree Pola:
Ixpedition.”
A year later a hottle containing
note number 143 was found near Var
loe, in the most northeasterly pa:t of
Norway.
That was all. Years went by with
yut another trace of the expedition.
iheral rewards were offereq by the
{ing of Sweden for genuine relics of
he expedition, Many parties were
yrganized and spent thousands of dol
ars searcaing the Arctic regions for
‘emains.
At last, in December, 1909, a friend
y Catholic priest, who had won the
:enfidence of the Eskimo tribes near
Reindeer Lake, 900 miles north of
Prince Albert, in the [Province of Sas
tatchewan, Canada, brought bhack an
mcertain tale, Bishop Pascal, of the
Yocese of Prince Albert, saw an Eski
no camying a revolver and noticed
- hat other members of the tribe seem
“.d to have an unusual quantity of
‘ope.
When he inquired they told bhim
hat a great “white house” had come‘
lown from the sky, that the men in‘
t had starved to death and that the
rope had come from the houyse top.
The Eskimos showed him brass in
struments and hunting gear they had
‘ashioned from metal they found on
he balloon, ang also cooking uten
sils and waterproof cloth they had
taken.
WHAT DOCTORS SAY
Dr. Joseph (. Bloodgood has told
surgeons assembled for the annual
meeting of the American Medical As
sociation that public education and
enlightenment by physicians have be
gun to show results in the control
»f cancer of the mouth.
“Formerly fifty-five percent of per
sons with cancer of the mouth and
Ajaws came to the surgeon too late for
successful operation. Now only five
percent come at this late period. For
merly only three percent of persons
with inflammations known as pre
cancerous consulted a surgeon, where
-18 now sixty percent come early for
consultation, with the probability
that seventy percent ol these persons
will be cured.” : :
The development of elecirical mm‘n.;
.
ods of cutting tissues such ag the cau
tery knife, according to Doctor Blood
good, now permits operationg without
removal of the jow, and thus with a
greater promise of curo.
Dr. William J. Mayo discussed the
various digeascs ol the blood assoc
iated with disturbances of the liver,
the'spleen and the bone marrow. The
blood, he suaid, is a substance made
up of fluig materials derived from the
liver and of red blood cells coming
largely from the bone marrcw. The
white blood cells come from the
spleen, the Iympbatic tissues, uml'
other tissues of the body. Since all
of these contribute to building the
blood, disturbances of any one of
them may involve serious changes in‘
the blood and the development of
special diseases. ‘
In the section of diseases of the
stomach, Drs. Julius Friedenwald and
Theodore . Morrisson of Baltimore,
stated that rupture of the nnteriori
wall of the abdomen is not infrequent.
but is frequently overlooked by inves
tigating physicians, The spot is us
ually small, but thg symptoms may be
severa out of proportion to the size
of the rupture.
The physicians pointed out that the
symptoms ofter resemble those scen
in ulcers of the stomach and intes
tines, and that it may be difficult to
differentiate them from the symptoms
of gallstones, cancer of the stemach
and appendicitis. The condition is
casily remedied by a slight operation,
ang its early recognition is therefore
especially important.
BRITISH WOMEN WANT
FULL VOTE
- Nine million British women have
‘the ballot, but there are still five mil
lion women in England over twenty
‘nue vears of age who cannot vote.
~ They do not like it and are on the
I\\-:r path, under the leadership of
Miss Eleanor Rathbone, president of
;tho National Union of Societies for
Equal Citizenship.
. The Suffrage Act, passed in 1918,
7:vnfrunchisml all manried and single
i\vumen over thirty years who com:
plied with certain residential quallii-
cations, This gave the ballot to nine
miliion women, but there are five mil
lion leit out in the cold comprising
all women under tairty years of age
and all professional and business
women who have neither business
premizes noo unfurnished rooms. Con
sequently, all shop assistants, who
“live in”, that is those who live on
the buginess premises of their employ
ers, ail women domestic workers who
“live in” ang all daughters livin.g at
‘home, are denied the baliot.
} The National Union of Socicties for
i’Equal Citizenship declares that spe
cial injustice is done under this nct
\Lo working women—the womoen most
in need of the protection of the voir--
as only one in fifteen of iho verin
in industry is enfranchised.
. Women were granted the {ron
chise as a reward for their magnifi
cent war service, with the support of
all parties. Since the original act
was passed, several attempts have
heen made to pass a biil that would
enfranchise all women over twenty
one on the same terms with men.
But the frequent changes in govern
ment and the economic dislocation
have rendered the attempis for equal
suffrége unsuccessful.
However, much progressive legisla
tion has been enacted in the seven
years women have been voting, such
as the act enabling women to be elect
ed to Parliament, removing sex dis
qualification for udmissiqn to the le
gal profession, and permitting women
to act as jurors and magistrates.
More than 1,000 women have already
been appointed magistrates.
Women’s votes also have helpad car
ry through many bills dealing with
moral and social questions. The Nat
ional Union of Societies for equal Cit
izenship has branches all over the
British Isles, which have been roused
to vigorcus action. The Women's

FAITH
Griffin News: |
This is an old subject. But it is one
we think of probably more than
any other, for it is the very founda
tion of our hope, here and now and
is the substance of our belief in an
eternal life.
T'aith closes our eyes at night and
opens them in the morning. Faith
tintoes intoes into our chambers and
tells us of the day. Then it trails
along with us throughout the hours
and sustains us in all our varios ac
tivities.
We think out our ideas. We weigh
them. Then we dres them up in the
clothes of Faith, and send them out
into the yorld.

We do business every hour and
cviry day on faith. Everything we
eat, drink or use, we give our faith
to. When we go on a long journey
we -place our faith in the man who
runs the train, our automobile or
our ship.
When we get low and a storm
cloud of worry comes our way.
Faith is the sunshine that sooner or
later clears the storm.
The farmer toils and the sweat
rolls from his brow as ke turns the
soil, but he is cheerful and happy
for he has faith that his lahors will
be fruitful. y
You can’t keep house, oh school,
or your shop without faith.
We all do different things with our
faith. It doesn’t matter so much
what. For Faith is to apply and no
two do the same job thé same way
Faith is to keep sweet and un
