So convinced is the princess that life wo&ld be quite tolerable except for the “ever-present spe- cialist,” that she has written a book, entitled, “Combating the Expert.” Princess Lichnowsky has taken up the cudgels on behalf of the humble citizen. She tries to show “that the horse sense of the un- sophisticated layman often hits the mark far better than does the academic opinion of the profes- sional.” The princess, who will lecture in the United States next year, is a conspicucus figure in the inter- national social and diplomatic set. She first achieved literary promi- nence with a travel book, “Gods Kings and Beasts in Egypt.” Re- cently she published a book of humorous verse, “Half and Half,” for which she made her own draw- ings. — - — Auto Goes Through Railing; Three Dead —_— WAMEGO, Kansas, Aug. 19.— Three persons were killed when an automobile crashed through the rafling of a narrow bridge last night and kll into a drainage —~| or.

Thiz program will be worked out, com- pletely before Mr. Gartland re- turns to Washington where it will be placed before the Secretary for his approval and action. It is certain, said the Governor, that headquarters of the Bureau of Bducation for Alaska will be removed from Seattle to. some point in Alaska. No decision, how- ever, has been made as to its location. Purchase of supplies, however, will continue to be don: for the bureau in Seattle by agents of the Alaska Railroad. Mining Program Advances The mining development pro gram of the Fairbanks Exploration Company is making fine headwey, Gov. Parks said.

Smaller companies and indivi dual miners are having a good year and an increased gold yield from the interior mines is fore- cast for this season. It has been unusually dry in the district, but it was not expected that this would curtail the mineral produc tion.

Aug- ust Buschmann, owner of the plant, took him up to the head of Port Althorp Bay where many schools of humpbacks were sight- ed. The Governor toek some Kodak snapshots of some of the schools. Aerial Traffic Grows There has been a remarkable growth in aerial traffic in the in- terior and at Anchorage, Gov Parks said. In Fairbanks the com . panies operating there have been kept busy all season carrying freight and passengers to outly- ing settlements. New planes are being ordered by them for mnext season's operal which are ex- pected to be more extensive than this summer.

By steamer and train, Mears in 1913 went around the world in thirty-five days, establishing a rec ord which stood until a year ago, when Linton Wells mada it in twenty-eight days. Mears will fly in a Fokker un* versal two-passenger monoplane, equipped “with a Wright whirJwind 200 horsepower motor. The ma- chine is now being built In the Fokker factory ot Teterboro, N J.

The trip planned by Mears will cover about 21,000 miles and will require about 260 hours of flyirg He will follow practically the same route he followed by train and steamer in 1913, he says, with one exception. Then he went by steamer from Yokohama to Vic toria, B. C. This time he will fly from Tokyo to Northwestern Si- beria and thence to the Aleutian Islands, off the coast of Alaska His longest singe hop will be from Newfoundland across the Ar- lantic to Ireland, 1,970. Next long- est will be the jump from Siberia to the Aleutian Islands, 600 miles. Trip Via Alaska Starting from New York he will make his first landing in Newfoundland. Next stop will be Valentia, Ireland. From then on, landings will be made as follows. Amsterdam, Berlin, Moscow, Kour- gan, Krasnojarsk and Chita, Si beria; Harbin, Manchuria; Seoul, Korea; Tokyo, Kamchatka, North- western Siberia; Attu, Aleutian Is- lands; Seattle, Salt Lake City. From Salt Lake City he will fol- low the air mail route to New York. Mears has heretofore spent in all about fifty hours in the air. them into distant hunting areas. There is a saving on both time and money effected by using the planes and the Anchorage com pany is delighted with the success atained in the first year of its activities.
