The interesting feature is that Com- mander Byrd will dictate these messages. They .will be first-hand news from the man who is making this expedition that will penetrate mysteries that have been veiled from the knowledge of man since the beginning of time. His destination is the South Pole—his aim, to find out just what is there—land or water, weather conditions, etc. His dash to the Pole will be by airplane—high above the frozen wastes—where he can make observations never before possible under the existing conditions. ' It isn’t a pleasure jaunt of an adven- turer. But a serious and important mis- sion—of a man of iron nerve and daunt- less courage who dares to undertake; and with the determination that must succeed. ' News will come direct from Byrd to Star readers—over the radio that leaps space and defies time. ‘ Every éhapter in his story will ha\fré its thrill—and bring knowledge of what has heretofore been only blind conjecture. A new vision will Be opened through Commander Byrd’s eves, and a new ver- sion of the conditions surrounding the South Pole will be written into the lore of science and mapped on the pages of geographies. Do nof miss a single message from Commander Byrd—and they will be published here in Washington exclusively in - The Zoening Stad WITH SUNDAY MORNING EDITION For Delivery Service—Phone Main 5000—Circulation Department
