DOES BEATPLAN FRSTLAPTONONE Flyers Unable to Start as Planned—Epidemic Now v Under Control. By the Associated Press, NOME, Alaska, February 10.—A modern version of the fable of the race won by the lumbering turtle against the speedy hare was seen to- day in the friendly contest betwegn a fast airplane and primitive dog teams, both attempting to reach Nome over a snow-dressed country from Nenana, the railroad point, with prized serum needed to fight a plague of diphtheria which threatened the inhabitants of this little Arctic town. The dog team was in the lead today. The airplane at Fairbanks, in the hands of two seasoned aviators, was attempting to take off after unsu cessful attempts had been made v terday, due to weather conditions. Dogs Well on Way. The faithful dog team, carrying 480,000 units of serum from Nenana, was trotting over the winding ice- covered trails in the Yukon Valley. The team started vesterday and is expected to arrive Friday. The air- plane. once in the air. would travel as the erow flies. a much shorter dis- tance than the dog team route. No new diphtheria cases have been reported in four days, and epidemic conditions have improved greatly, the board of health disclosed following a survey made yesterday. The board sent word to the Fair- barks Airplane Corporation that an attempt to fly from Fairbanks to Nome with 620.000 units of antitoxin Was not necessary at present, as a shipment of 480,000 units of serum now being relayed from Nenana was due to arrive Friday. All Patients Better. The board said that the second con- signment would relieve any situation that may arise. It is pointed out that £il diphtheria patients were improve ng. A message of gratitude for the offer to fly to Nome with the serum was sent to Roy S. Darling, former Navy aviator and associated with the De- partment of Justice at Fairbanks, and to his mechanician, Ralph P. Mackie of Anchorage, an employe of the Alaska Railroad. In another message the airplane corporation and the resi- dents of. Fairbanks were praised for the assistance in plans to speed the sending of the serum here. FLYERS MEET OBSTACLES. Lack of Radiator Shutter Prevents Taking Off Yesterday. By the Associated Press. FAIRBANKS, Alaska, February 10. —Although Roy S. Darling, former Navy aviator, and Ralph P. Mackle, an employe of the Alaska Railroad, were prevented by intense cold from leaving yesterday in an airplane with 620,000 units of diphtheria antitoxin for Nome, the men announced last night they intended to leave today. “We experienced great difficulty in regulating the temperature of the engine,” said Darling. “Our airplane, designed for Summer flying, is not equipped with a radiator shutter. We expect to leave as soon as mechanics of the Fairbanks Airplane Corpora tion construct a radiator shutter.” “llllllllilllllllflllllllIII!I%IIIIllIlllII1|Ifl!l!llll!lll!lilll“g'E Valentines— = Time for securing your Valentines is growing short.

Bowlby, its national secretary, has thus far introduced drastic Sunday bills_in the Legis- latures of New York, Indiana, Nevada and California, and into Congress for the District of Co- lumbia.” The statement gave a long list of drastic prohibitions on sports, amusements, and business which it said was sought, adding that such a program would “turn back the wheels of true progress and civilization toward the thumb- screws, the racks, the gibbets, and the fires of the dark ages.” BERTHELOT VINBICATED.
