“No one will commend the man who gives hot water to a friend.” So wrote Simonodes, the Greek poet, 488 B. C. And in those days serving cold water was some trouble. The snow for cooling had to be carted from the mountain tops and stored In pits or ditches. Today you have but to go to your American Ice filled refrigerator to serve fcy coid drinks as varled as tastes may demand—Iiced water, iced tea, iced coffee, ginger ale, lemonade, grape juice: all refreshing when just ©Off the ice or when shaken with pure sparkling American Ice.

MAMILLAN SEES HOPE FOR FLYERS Says Mere Problem of Locat- ing Pole Might Require Some Time. By the Assoclated Pre Hope for the safe return of the Amundsen polar expedition was held out today by Donald B. MacMillan, Arctic explorer, who belleves that any one of several reasons might have delayed the return of the flyers. The mere problem of locating the Pole itself by astronomical pbserva- tions, Mr. McMillan said, might in itself have required several days to accomplish. “It is inconceivable,” he asserted, “that any man, however good a pilot, can fly from the north end of Spitz bergen for a distance of 600 miles in a straight line and drop down upon the North Pole, or even within 50 miles of it.” Here for Conference. Mr. MacMillan, who will head the MacMillan Arctic expedition, arrived here today to confer with officials of the National G and na officers, including Rear Admiral Moffett, chief of the Naval ir Service. ‘If Amundsen had one month's pro- visions,” Mr. MacMillan continued, “it - too early in the game for the worlll to be alarmed over his one-week absence. The Pole is not an easy thing to find; that is, to locate accurately with instruments. “In view of this, frequent landings must necessarily be made, with the possibility and probability of injury to the planes if ice flelds alone are avail- able. If the party lands within 25 miles of the Pole a journey on foot would be preferable to a trip through the air, as it would eliminate one more extra hazard of a take-off and landing. If on this foot journey Amundsen en- counters jce similar to that seen by us in 1914 he won't be back for several days yet. Planes Would be Crushed. “If the two planes landed in a lead or water crack, unless carefully guarded, there is a strong probability of their being crushed, for such are | continually opening* and closing like the jaws of a gigantic trap. “If Amundsen’s planes should be down in rough ice it would take sev- ays to construct a ‘run’ for his planes. If he missed Spitzbergen on his return he is down, adrift, and out of gas, with the remote possibility of {rescue. If he is down at the North Pole and cannot rise, which is very unlikely, I fear the worst in spite of his one month’s provisions. To walk over the rough and snow covered ice of the polar sea, intersected with open and thin ice covered leads, for 600 miles to tzbergen or 413 miles to Cape Columbia at this time of the vear is utterly impossible for the best of men.” CHARLFS A.

It glinted in the sunlight with the color of battleship gray, in which our airplanes are clad. We gathered along | the rail in great excitement, while our | most skillful lookout scrambled aloft ithrough the ice-clad ropes of the tall jforemast, and focused his glasses on the distant object. It proved to be only a bit of drift ice. An hour later, while we were seated at breakfast, a bubbling coffee pot in the galley gave a perfect imitation of | the distant pounding of an airplane { propeller, and sent all of us scurrying | awuy from the mess table to the port- { holes. i Cruising Through Ice. | During the past 24 hours we have | cruised “all ‘along the west coast of | Spitzbergen to the edge of the ice | pack on the north.

At the entrance of Magdalena Boy we tied up to a floating block of ice as large as the Flatiron Building. | The crew clambered off onto-a pro- jecting ice shelf armed with broad- bladed ice picks, and for two hours they chipped off great blocks of fresh- water ice, which was tossed into the { water tanks.

LOS ANGELES, May P)— Plans for a seaplane expedition to search for Roald Amundsen, Arctic explorer, going forward here and in San Diego, are outlined by Haakon H. Hammer, - former assistant of Amundsen, who is organizing the pro- iposed dash by air into the polar regions. | The tentative plans call | planes, equipped with pontoons for landing in water and capable of a | cruising radius of from 25 to 30 hours. | Hammer said he had asked an Eu- ropean airplane factory if it could de- liver two such craft to Rotterdam, Holland, by June 10. He pointed out that while in all likelihood Amundsen's two flying boats were damaged in landing on the rough fice of the Arctic Ocean, the rellef expedition would have a much better chance of coming down safely, since by the end of June or early in |July the Summer thaw would have opened wide stretches of water in the vieinity of the pole. If the planes can be landed at Rot- !terdam by June 10, he said, they can !be transshipped to' Kings Bay, Spitz- bergen, Amundsen’s jumping-off place, Iby June 18 and ready to start on the trail of the explorer before July 1. Amundsen, Hammer believes, had with him sufficient supplies to last his party for a full month, which, with careful rationing, could be made to stretch over a 60-day period, while the hulls of the two flying boats would provide the party of six with shelter.

By the Associated Press. PARIS, May 27.—Ernest Berger, treasurer of the newspaper L'Action Francaise, yesterday fell a victim to & madweman’s bullet intended for one of his chiefs, Leon Daudet, leader of the Royalist Assoclation and editor of L’Action Francalse, or Charles Maur- ras, co-editor. The assassin was a woman named Bonnefoy, a domestic 44 years of age. She made rambling statements to the police, and a mass of letters found in her room apparently leaves no doubt that she had long Suffered from per- secution mania. She told the examin- ing magistrate that as Daudet and Maurras had ignored letters in which she had revealed to them the activi. ties of sples on the Riviera, she con- sidered them criminals. The woman watched for them from a cafe opposite the offices of the news- paper for several days. She saw Ber- ger, whom she mistook for Maurras, leave, and followed him to the sub- vay. She pushed her arm over the shoulder of another person and shot Berger, and ran away. When she saw by the newspapers that she had killed the wrong man she gave herself up. FAILURE TO CARRY RADIO IS DEBATED Experts Here Are Divided on Wis- dom of Course Followed by Amundsen. By Consolidated Press. While the world waits for word of the fate of Roald Amundsen there is much speculation here as to the wis- dom of the daring explorer's decision to eliminate radio from his flying equipment. Opinion in official radio and fiying circles is divided, with the majority in- clined to the belief that Amundsen was right.” In view of the uncertainty of radio transmission in the polar regions these observers think it was good judgment to use all avallable space for gasoline and other essential supplies. On the other hand, critics of Amund- sen’s decision point to the possibilities of radio even under adverse conditlons, and contend that the compactness and lightness of a modern transmjtter that might have served Amundsen’s needs would have enabled him to take one along without greatly curtailing his fuel supply. The belief persists among the best- informed men of Washington on polar explorations that the Amundsen party is alive and eventually will get back to base. If the planes were forced down for repairs or for any other reason supplies certain to be needed should prove more valuable than a radio that might not work. (Copyright, 1925.)

The Grand United Order of Tents of the United States is holding its fifty- first annual convention at the Metro- politan Baptist Church.

PETERSBURG, Fla., May 27 Voters yesterday approved a bond is- sye for city improvements providing for the expenditure of $2,414.000. Of | this sum $1,000,000 will be spent for a new municipal pier into Tampa Bay. had been forced down, there would be little chance for the aviators to find them in the vast white wastes about the pole. = If the party can be found and re- lief work is necessary, he declared, the Navy will be disposed to do what it can, recognizing the call of hu- manity. Although beyond that call there is no claim upon the United States with respect to the expedition, Government officials from President | Coolidge down have shown consider- able interest in the undertaking. The President is inclined to favor Amer- ican relief for Amundsen if it is necessary and practicable, but he is not convinced that the time has come to consider such a project. Wilbur Not Enthused. Secretary Wilbur declared he was 0t enthusiastic over the suggestion for sending lighter-than-air craft into the Arctic. He would be very re- luctant, he said, to order any Naval aviator into that region, and as to the use of Navy equipment by volun- teers, any plan would have to be demonstrated as sound, adequate and practical before he would give it his approval. Two years ago, he recalled, the Navy decided against sending a lighter-than-air craft into the Arctic because the project was ‘‘neither wise nor sane.” The question of expense entered into this decision, he added. but was only one factor, and there was also the question of risks de- volving upon dirigibles in going into new and untried conditions in the Arctic. NELSON WILL AID. World Flyer .Willing to Serve With Hammer. SANTA MONICA, Calif, May 27 (®).—Lieut. Erik Nelson, maintenance and engineering officer of the United States Army around-the-world flight, has consented to participate in or lend aid to plans for a relief expedi- tion for the Amundsen North Pole party, providing Haakon 1. Hammer, organizer of the expedition, obtains from the chief of the Air Army Serv- ice permission for such participation. Lieut. Nelson is stationed at the Douglas aircraft factory here super- vising contract for 76 of the world cruiser type planes for the Alr Serv- ice. “If any expedition is to be sent to aid the Amundsen party, plans must be made for it, for there is always much work required in organizing such an expedition,” said Lieut. Nel- son. “I informed Mr. Hammer that I would be happy to contribute any aid possible, but authority for my sery- ices must come from the War De- partment.” Lieut. Nelson said that in August when the world flyers were in the Greenland region they found nasty weather conditions, and added, that it might require & month to get the expedition off after the preparations ‘were made. . WO0D ASKS U.S. AIDISLANDLEPERS Fund of $1,000,000 Sought to Carry on Philippine Re- habilitation Work. The American people have been asked by Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, governor general of the Philippines, to contribute a milllon dollars to carry on the work of rehabilitating the lepers in the islands. An appeal was made to Gen. Wood by the mem- bers of the Culion leper colony, which 13 the largest in the world, for aid. The members of the colony in their appeal to the governor general de- clared it is through his efforts that thelr hope in life i3 renewed. Gen. Wood's appeal to the Ameri- can people Is as follows: “Throughout the wor)d today there is deep and widespread interest in the treatment and care of leprosy. England has, organized the British Empire Anti-Leprosy Soclety and is making arrangements for an effective campaign against this dread disease in India and elsewhere. 12,000 Lepers in Islands. “In the Philippines we have about 12,000 lepers, 5,600 of whom are seg- regated and under treatment on Culion Island—the world’s greatest leper colony. The care and treat- ment of leprosy has been carried o here steadily for the last 20 years! and in intensive form during the last three years. Well known experts on leprosy have visited Culion and are outspoken in their praise of the work being done. Our efforts have been limited only by the means available. The results are most encourag- ing. We have already 449 negatives and several hundred more in sight; 75 Der cent of the cases under treatment are improved and 196 have been re- turned to thelr homes as cured. The people who formerly looked upon Cullon with fear and dread are com- mencing to look upon it as a place not of segregation and imprisonment, but as a place of care, treatment and possible cure. “I believe we are on the verge of great results in the treatment and care of leprosy, but we need help. We are working not only for the lepers here but for the lepers all over the world, and our success will be theirs as well. The insular appropriations for the colony are about one-third of the entire public health appropriation. Nevertheless we need more money, and the insular government cannot give more. This money will be used for additional buildings, for roads to agricultural lands and for the es. tablishment of small agricultural and segregation groups, and especially for trained personnel, laboratory equip- ment, additional wards, equipment and skilled personnel for research work and treatment. $1,000,000 Ts Asked. “I want to raise a million dollars for these purposes. Money cannot be better spent. Not only will it be | for the immediate benefit of the lepers themselves, but it will be for the general study and treatment of the disease, which, I believe, can be erad- icated from these islands. In other words, we shall render a great serv- ice to stricken humanity throughout large portions of the world and demonstrate that this dread disease can be controlled. “We were successful In our efforts | to eradicate yellow fever and to con- | trol malaria in Cuba. The methods there employed have made the troples | as safe as the temperate zone. We | have rendered the Phillppine Islands safe against cholera, smallpox and plague by scientific methods of con- trol. 2 e are now carrying on this great | campaign for the control and eradi cation_of lepro We need your{ help. The American people have ever been generous in supporting move- ments of this kind and I again appeal to their generosity and spirit service im behalf of these stricken people, who are the most unfortunate and afflicted of God's creatures. “Contributions may be made pay-| able to the chief of the Bureau of | Insular Affairs, War, Department, | Washington, D. C. They will be! transmitted to the Philippine Islands and spent under the direction of the governor general. . ASKS COURT TO DECIDE. Company Demands Tax Informa- tion From Revenue Commissioner.
