BATHURST INLET, “Above Amlc‘ Circle, Northwest Territory, Canada, November 12.—After the long, hard and dangerous trek across Dease Strait we finally arrived on November 3 at the Hudson's Bay Co. trading post at Cam- bridge Bay. No more wearied travelers than we ever reached Cambridge Bay. And what a splendid welcome we got The Hudson’s Bay men, headed by the manager, police and Canalaska trading staff, could not do too much for us. Since morning all we had had was 8| Balf cup of soup.

THE GREATEST MEDICINE | EVER USED | Where Other Remedies Failed | It Brought Relief in a Very Short Time.

Mr. Whiting has resided in | Washington all his life and is well | | known here. Continuing, he said: | For two years I suffered with my | stomach and there were times when | | the pains almost got the best of | me. Everything I ate caused gas to | | form in my stomach. I would swell | and bloat 50 I could not stand any | | tight clothes and would often walk | around to remove that tight, press- | ing feeling. I was continually belch- | | ing up sour bile, and the gas seemed | |to be rolling around like water in | the stomach. Then, too, I was al- | | ways badly constipated, always tak- (ing pills or other strong laxatives, | which gave me no relief to sp of. | I read where so many people here | | at home were being benefited by this | | HERB EXTRACT that I began ys- | | ing it also, and in a short time, as I said before, I found it to be a won- | derful medicine.

Whet a joy it was to pound out words on a typewriter—words that would be wafted south to our families. Even the touch of the typewriter keys sent a tingle through my frost-bitten fingers. I could easily have cried as I wrote a short one to my wife. After midnight came the first bed since August 25; that is, the first real bed, with something soft underneath and a covering of dry, clean blankets. Just before going to bed the three of us—Col. McAlpine, Bob Baker and I— cleaned up three tins of tomatoes. Mats Hand, in charge of the Bay Maud, told me all the colonel had for supper was six eggs, a liberal helping of bacon, bread and other things and three-quarters of =a raisin pie.

Snow Hides Shack. Our party had left for Cambridge Bay, and the Eskimos remaining behind apparently had all gone into their ig- loos. The old shack built’ by the stranded party had become covered with snow and was indistinguishable from the air. Before leaving arrangements were made with the Eskimos that the wings of the abandoned planes would be kept clear of snow. Mr. Blanchet said that visibility was not particularly at the time he flew over. But those in the planes naturally are keenly disap- pointed ovet having failed to spot the machines, feeling that they could have found the messages left in the planes, followed the dog-sled route and saved those traveling on foot much of the ha{hdshlp they were forced to put up with. The second trip of the rescue planes, on November 3, was the last planned for the general area between the Ellice River and Bathurst Inlet. It was planned to use the last gas at Burn- side, where the rescue planes were sta- tioned, in a search of the south coast of Victoria Island. In the meantime, after our party had reached Cambridge Bay and before word could reach those carrying on the aerial search, a start had been made by the rescuers over the Arctic _coast westward to the Copper Mine River. ‘The first of these trips, on November 4 stopped by low mist at Cape were being warmed up in tion for another attempt to rmgntge Cop- per Mine River, word came from Eskimo rynners that the lost party had reached Cambridge Bay. Made Good Time. Dominlon explorers’ wireless station had been temporarily erected at Bath- urst, the plan being to rebuild it at Burhside during the Winter. When word reached the wireless station at 1:30 p.m. on November 4 a dog team was at once dispatched to Burnside. Tommy Ting- eak, the Bathurst post runner, hooked p a light sled, not more than 2 feet long, and tzaveled all night, as it was known the rescue planes intended leav- ing for the Copper Mine country early in the morning. Tingmeak reached Burnside a little after 8 o’clock, mak- ing the 30-mile trip in 10 hours, a re- markably good piece of night travel over & difficult route. ‘When he arrived three planes were being warmed up. plane crew noticed the Eskimo excitedly waving a piece of paper, and when he got within hearing distance he shouted: “They find 'em!” The plece of paper was a note from the wireless operator at Bathurst, P. Fontaine, which read: “This morning at 10 o'clock Fort James station advised me that McAl- pine’s party arrived yesterday at Cam- bridge Bay, across ice from Dease Point.

POTTSTOWN, Pa., November 12— Mrs. Marie Watzl, wife of Dr. Ernest Watzl, missing Cleveland . chemist, is certain her husband was slain and rob- bed of $5,000 he was said to have car- ried in his pockets. Standing yesterday at the place where Dr. Watzl's automo- bile was found last Thursday, & charred wreck, Mrs. Watzl declared she Was “sure he was murdered.” Mrs, Watzl visited the place, a lonely spot on the banks of the Schuylkill River near here,, in company with Ottomar Stange, head of a Philadelphia con- struction company, and a close friend of Dr. Watzl. She came East to aid in the search for her husband. She told Chief of Police J. R.

BUTLER-FLYNN Paint Company 607-609 C St. Metropolitan 0151 - were found in a shoe box HE PEOPLE who bought fifty million pairs of International Shoes this year saved a lot of money. They saved it not just because they paid less for their shoes, but because their dollars bought better style and longer wear than they could otherwise get for the same money. There is no mystery about why this is true. Itis true because International has undertaken to eliminate from the price you pay every penny of cost that does not definitely add to the value of the shoe itself. Take even the humble pasteboard shoe box, for example. It’s a little thing to you. It adds nothing to the looks of the shoe . . . It doesn’t make them wear any better.

And International, by making the boxes, saves you the additional amount that would have to be paid if those boxes were bought from outside sources. Obviously,this onesaving, in itself, is small. Butin sig- nificance it is tremendously important. It shows how far International goes to pass on to you every possible saving and small, which together present an imposing total. + On leather alone International, by tanning its own, saves millions of dollars a year compared to what it would have to pay in the open market. What’s more, it’s sure of the quality of every piece of that leather. Thus the savings pile up—on lining fabrics here, on rubber heels and soles there; on so many different kinds and types of materials that it requires the operation of fifty-nine auxiliary plants to supply thd shoe factories. extensive demands of International’s forty-four specialty These factories themselves make pos- sible even further economies because International’s varied productien ena- bles it to devote each of the forty-four plants to the making of just one type of men’s, women’s or children’s shoes— and that alone. With these unusual economies on the one hand and exceptional quality of ma- terials and workmanship on the other, International is producing the greatest shoe values that money can buy. “ - - “ INTERNATIONAL SHOES are marketed under the six marks of quality which are shown below.
