- SOFTSYOWFORGES WLKNS TORETURN Antarctic Explorer Plans to Establish New Base for Second Phase. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 11.—Having completed the first phase of the Wil- kins-Hearst expedition’s work in the Antarctic, Capt. Sir Hubert Wilkins an- nounces in a radio message to the New York American and associated Hearst newspapers that he will return to America and prepare for the second phase, which will be carried on next year from a different base. The announcement was made follow- ing a new 500-mile flight. made yester- day, during which capt. Wilkins searched Graham Land, in the hope of finding a suitable and more southerly base, which would enable him to con- tinue his exploration farther south throughout the present season. No such _base could be found Soft Snow Bars Flight. In making pul Capt. Wilki de- cision, the New York American added the following anal: of the situation: “The only alte e hope of reach- ing Ross Sea th on lay in ability to take off on skis with a load of gaso- line sufficient to drive a plane 13800 miles. Owing to the y weather at Deception Island Graham Land. whieh has softened the snow six weeks before it was expeci to do so, this was obviously impossibfe. “But even if the snow and ice had ‘been normal, the discoveries as to the terrain of Graham Land made by Capt. Wilkins precluded the possibility of such flight without unreasonable risk. It remained only for Capt. Wilkins to return and make a new start from a| new base. Two Major Objectives. “The expedition had two major- ob- Jectives: “First. Exploration of Graham Land and the western coast of the Weddell Sea by alrplane. “Socond, "A Right'from Graham Land to Ross Sea and further exploration from a base established there. “In_flights from Deception Island over Graham Land Sir Hubert and his associates have accomplished the first objective and thereby solved the great- est problem that has confronted scien- tists and geographers in the Antarctic. “Graham Land is pictured on the The only drug store maps as part of the Antarctic continent. Flying 1,200 miles over land never be- fore seen by human eyes in company with_Pilot Ben Eielson on December 20, Wilkins discovered that Graham of water 40 to 50 miles wide, lying be- tween the seventieth and seventy-first parallel south and longitude 60 and 70 west. This he has since named Stefansson Strait. “The northern island has been re- named North Graham Island and the southern South Graham Island, the two being separated by a narrow, crooked strait. Deep Indentations Found. “On the sixty-fifth parallel south, or within 100 miles of the Antarctic cir- | cle, Wilkins found the coast of North Graham Island cut by indentations so deep that they almost met, threatening to sever it into still another island. These indenations he named the Hektoria fiords. “A group of six islands discovered southeast of South Graham Island he has named Finley Islands, in honor of Dr. John H. Finley, president of the American Geographical Society, which sponsored the expedition. “Capt. Wilkins established what he believes to be the true edge of the Antarctic Continent on approximately the seventieth parallel south. This he has named Hearst Land in honor of William Randolph Hearst, by whom the expedition was largely financed “One portion of the South Grahanf Island coast Capt. Wilkins designated as Bowman Coast in honor of Dr. Isaiah Bowman, director of the Ameri- can Geographical Society. Various mountains, plateaus, glaciers and other geographical features were named for different. persons whom Wilkins desired to honor. Discoveries Balk Plans. “By the very nature of his discov- eries, Sir Hubert is prevented from pur- suing the second phase of his work during the present season. “All his plans were predicated upon the Antarctic map as it was supposed to exist. “If Graham Land were a part of the Antarctic_Continent he might, with a sufficient load of gaéoline, fly from De- ception Island to Ross Sea, most of the distance over land. If forced down by engine trouble he and Eielson, his pilot, would then have a chance to survive by walking to Ross Sea. “With Graham Land a series of islands, as Wilkins' exploration has demonstrated it to be, this became im- possible, A failing engine, which might force a landing on one of the lsands, meant isolation without hope of rescue and inevitable death. “By his flight, Sir Hubert Wilkins has not only verified his earlier ob- servations, but cleared the way for the establsihment of a more southerly base next year.” giving United Certificates with each purchase Begin a Thrifty New Year!

Then, the treatment of con- stipation, biliousnes, headaches, mental depression, indigestion, sour stomach and other indisposi- tions that result from constipation was entirely by means of simple vegetable laxatives, herbs and roots. These are still the basis of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, which is a combination of senna and other mild laxative herbs, with pepsin. ‘The simpler the remedy for con- stipation, the safer for the child general health of all. And as you can get results in a mild and safe way by using Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with strong drugs?
