Continued from Third Page be shared by every government in the South- ern Jiemisphere, and when you foresee the billions of dollars which will be eventually saved by such an expenditure, it really seems a very small investment, - My own expedition into the Antarctic this year is costing me well within $25,000. I have five men and I expect to cover one-third of the latitude of the Ant- arctic Circle.” George Hubert Wilkins was born on a sheep ranch in Mount Bryan East, South Australia, 41 years ago. He handled a rifie at the age of 10; spent his boyhood hunting and herding sheep on horseback, and at 21 was graduated from the Adelaide School of Mines as an elec- trical engineer, He worked his way around the world as a photographer and became & motion-picture news camera man in the early days of the film industry. He “shot” Balkan war scenes and from airplanes took pictures of German war maneuvres, the Sahara Desert and other thrillers. WXLKINS joined Stefansson’s Canadian Arctic expedition as a photographer, but proved of greater service as an expert with gasoline motors. He was on the doomed Karluk when that boat was caught in an ice pack, he was one of the three white men chosen by Down. 1 High mountain. 2 Discern. 3 Read. 4 Adhesive substance 5 Long, narrow inlet. 6 Conjunction. 7 Scotch river. 8 Terminates. 44 Growing out. 9 Whatever occupies 46 Give for temporary space. use. 10 Feminine name. 47 Victim, 11 Negative. 48 Wing. 16 Pen. 49 Turf. 20 One indefinitely. 51 No: Scotch. 21 Drive off. 52 Sesame. 22 Make oration. 53 Character in 23 Burning. “Uncle Tom's 24 Greek porticos.

Stefansson to continue the expedition by land. It was on that magnificent three-year trek from Alaska to Banks Land that he first dreamed of flying over the top of the world and saw the future of the airplane in Arctic exploration. During the war Wilkins headed the Aus- tralian photographic section on the western front and was twice mentioned in dispatches, winning the British Military Cross with one bar. After the war he photographed the Gal- lipoli front, then tried a flight from England to Australia, being forced down at Crete by an oil leak. In 1921 he was second in com= mand of the British imperial Antarctic expe- dition, and the following year joined Shackle- ton. He next spent two and a half years in come mand of an expedition sponsored by the British Museum for the purpose of collecting specimens of rare native fauna in remote re- gions of Australia. In recognition of Wilkins’ heroic flight across the roof of the world, he was knighted by the King of England. He has received numerous honors including the Samuel F. B. Morse Medal from the American Geographical Society, and is an honorary member of the Explorers Club. While vacationing in civilization last Summer he took a voyage around the world in the Graf Zeppelin. His plans are laid for a trip to the « North Pole by submarine next Summer, a proje ect which has already set heads wagging dubi- ously. In discussing this proposed venture to the Arctic in an undersea craft, Sir Hubert pointed out the tremendous economic advantages to be derived if this method of travel should become feasible for cargo-carriers. -An example of the shortened rqutes which would be opened up by this mode of travel is understood when one considers that the distance from Liverpool to Yokohama via the Arctic is only 6,750 miles, while via the Panama Canal it is 12,250 miles and 11,100 miles via the Suez Canal. For vessels of similar speed and size, the sav- ing in time obtained by traveling the Arctic route would be about 60 days. Furthermore, Sir Hubert declared, the size of an undersea craft is not of necessity more limited that the size of a surface vessel. Such is the audacious spirit of Sir Hubert Wilkins. His only quarrel with human exist- ence is that each day is too short to crowd into it all the fascinating things he would like to do. (Copyright, 1930.)
