THE NOME FLIGHT
In these days of marvels, thrillers
and inventions, one is apt to over
look some really big achievement. So
it was that the arrival of the four
U. S. army airplanes at Nome, Aug
uset 23, was somewhat lost sight of.
The trip! from Mineola, N. Y., to
Nome, however, about 3,850 miles air
distance, establishes a new record
in flying and it marks a distinct
chapter in the history of transporta
tion. The scientists and geographers
will be interested as Nome is the
most northwesterly port and city in
the United States and has been the
outfitting point for many voyagers
setting out for the Arctic region,
while Fairbanks, in the interior of
Alaska, is still farther North and
when the planes stopped at that city
they reached a point nearest to the
Arctic. In fact, from Fairbanks or
from Nome it would be but a small
matter to hop off for the North pole.
The army officers are naturally in
terested as for years an army post
has been maintained at Nome, which
(was considered the very last outpost
of civilization, but is now brought
into direct touch with the war de
partment at Washington. In an
emergency, a flock of airplanes could
descend upon the tundra and be
ready for business at short notice.
The steamship route to Nome is 2,600
statute miles from Seattle but the air
distance is about 2,000 miles, so it
would not be unheard of to hear of
a machine during the all daylight
seasop of the North, flying from
Seattle to. Nome in 29 hours. By
starting from Seattle just before sun
up, the flyer would have daylight
for the entire journey during June
and July. Of course the recent trip
was merely a demonstration but the
strategists will be interested when
studying a flat map of the Arctic
regions, which will show that the
flyer might hop off from Nome and
by crossing crossing from Cape
Prince of Wales, U. S. A., to East
Cape, Siberia, he could land upon
Asiatic soil in several hours. By fly
ing in a semi-circle over northern
Asia, he can cut half the distance
from New York to Archangel and
Petrograd, but shold he take the air
line route the journey to Archangel
would be very greatly reduced and
the aviator would fly south of the
85th parallel. The air distance from
Nome to Archangel is about 500 miles
less than from Mineoa to Nome.
These observations are merey state
ments as to what might be done in an
emergency. Leaving assumptions for
the moment, private information re
cently received from a gold mining
camp on the sea of Okhotsk, indi
cated the ruthless slaughter of Amer
icans, English and other foreigners
by the Bolsheviki horde. When ‘one
considers the short distance from
Nome, U. S. A., to the heart of the
Amur district of Siberia, 2,200 miles
it is seen how an airplane squadron
flying from the vicinity of Nome,
might possibly have saved a great
many of these lives. The actual fly
ing time of the army planes from
Mineola to Nome was 55 hours. The
elapsed time was many days, owing
to the long layovers at various
stops. With fuel tanks of such cap
acity as to increase the distance pos
sible to be covered without new sup
ply, the time in actual days could
be very greatly reduced and that will
no doubt be the next great develop
ment.—Railway and Marine News.
DEATH OF DEGENERATE
REVEALS DRUG TRAFFIC
COPENHAGEN, Sept. 11 (by As
sociated Press).—The existence of
many establishments for the sale of
habit forming drugs has been re
vealed through the death, under mys
terious circumstances of the degen
erate editor of an obscene weekly
journal. The authorities have . found
many places frequented ^by flotsam
of the city, where large quantities of
cocoaine and morphia are consumed.
The drugs are said to have been
smuggled in from Germany.
It is of interest to note in connec
tion with possible pulp pj£.nj:s in
Southeast Alaska that labor in Alas
ka is accustomed to work on a piece
basis rather than on a time basis,
and this would probably be reflected
in the employment of labor for log
ging operations of pulp timbers.

Back-to-School
Days
In a few days, the school bell, after many
weeks of silence, will be tolling forth the
summons, ‘Back to school.” To mother,
it will mean the beginning of more work and
less help around the house.
Clothes to be gotten into shape—youngsters to be dressed and
fussed over—little folks too busy and excited to be of much use
to mother.
Fortunately for mother, she has no longer to worry about the
clean clothes problem—each week she is sending her family wash
to us. The time once given to slaving over the wash-tub and
wrestling with heavy boilers and baskets, are now devoted to
better care of the children and the home.
The spic-and-spanness so noticeable in school children today
is a laundry product. Why not YOU give yourself and the kiddies
the benefit of it. A minute at the phone will do the work.
