MODERN home built In the Arctic
defied the death-deuling cold of the
Polar Regions and proved an In
valuable aid to Lieutenant Cominnndor
Richard E. Byrd In Ills successful flight to
the North Pole, which he circled three
times In a record breaking flight of 1,500
miles In 15 hours and 80 minutes at an
average speed of 08.75 miles an hour.
I t was at the Spitsbergen base. King’s
Bay, where this flrst modern house was
constructed amid the snow and lee of the
Arctic Immediately upon the arrival of
Lieutenant Byrd and his companions, ns
a permanent home and observation sta
tion for the explorers. The house, which
rose up on the horizon of the frigid north In marked con
trast to the Igloo of l he esklmo, wus equipped with a com
plete radio outfit that those who remained at the base
while Lieutenant Byrd mnde his thrilling dash to the
Pole In his speeding Fokker might keep In touch with
their chief and the outsldo world, which they kept In
formed as to the progress und success of the flight.
It was to this same tome that he returned uftcr his
hazardous trip and from which some of the first mes
sages were sent to the waiting public, telling them
through the lanes of the Air that Byrd had -circled the
pole three times and had returned to his Spitsbergen
home In safety, adding one of the most memorable pages
to the history of Arctic exploration.
A
Sugar Cans Fights P o lar N o rth.
When Lieutenant Byrd left the Brooklyn Navy Yard on
the ship Chantler he declared ho had the best sad most
scientifically equipped expedition that ever had started
for the North Vole. Special plans were mnde for the
erection of his Arctic home. Boards of celotex Insulating
lumber made from bagasse (sugar cane fiber after all
augar Juices have been extracted) were carried along
with the latest Inventions to aid In polar exploration.
This building material Is very light and Is filled with
millions of air cells, which give it great Insulation value
and resistance to change In temperature, especially the
severe cold. One odd circumstance in connection with
the use of this material Is that the sugnr cane of the
south was utilized to fight the cold of the north.
Celotex wns selected Instead of lumber because tests
made by the United States Bureau of Standards and
Ita universal use In bnlldlng construction all over the
world, had demonstrated that this Insulating lumber
would keep the quarters of the explorers warmer and
protect their living conditions more securely than ordi
nary building matertul.
It was only after cureful Investigation by the scientific
men In the expedition that celotex was selected. These
authorities pointed out that the protection afforded by
Its Insulation efficiency wns three times as great ns ordi
nary lumber ami nearly twelve times ns great as that
of brick and other masonry material. The ship Chantler
also was lined with eelotex ns an added preenutlon to
keep the ship warm while the explorers used It In the
preliminary stages of the expedition.
In practically every other way this expedition wns
more scientifically prepared than any of Its predeces
sors
These Included Invent lens of Commander Byrd
himself. A simple sun compass conceived by Byrd and
developed by Mr. Bumstead of the National Geographic
Society, superseded the complicated German device, de.
veloped three years ago for Amundsen. The drift In
dicator also was Byrd's Invention. The bubble sextant
by which the navigator obtains his benrlngs while In
flight was another one of Ills Inventions. Still another
sctentlc development wus a quick method of telling when
one Is nt the North Pole. This has been worked out
by G. W. LlUlchales, the navy's hydrographic engineer.
D avies lo c a te » the Pole..
Byrd and others contributed to a chart of the mag
netic lines flowing toward the magnetic North Pole,
which Is In Bolthla I.and, 1.200 miles south of the Pole,
Between Bolthla Land and the Vole the campnss points
south Instead of north and over much of. the Arctic
it Is badly disturbed by the discrepancy of position be
tween the geographical North Pols and the maguetic
North Pole.
This chart of the magnetic lines, flowing to the mag
netic North Pole, although It was far from complete, whs
such at to enable the nuvtgutnr to lell In whst direction
the compass should point from any spot In the Arctic.
W ith this knowledge, the erratic behavior of the com-
puss becomes orderly and it Is ones aguln a useful Instru
ment.
A third type of compass used wns a device of Infinite
sensitiveness—a revolving electrical coll, which Is ad
justed to a given relation with the magnetism of the
earth. This, the sun compass, ami the magnetic com
pass were each used to correct the other.
Lieutenant Byrd In his flight used a quick method of
telling when lie was actually at the Pole. This was the
Invention worked out by Mr. I.lttlehales. the U. 8.
Navy hydrographic engineer. It shows the sun's posl-

1— To prove that air navi
gation In the Arctic Is feas
ible and that freight and mes
senger travel over the top of
the world Is certain to come.
2— To hunt for new land
In the unexplored areas of
the Arctic.
8—To conquer the North
Pole from the air as a sport
ing adventure and as a dem
onstration of what a plane
can do—not a geographical
study, as the Pole wus bagged
for all time by Admiral Peary.
Probably no one knows more about
Arctic flying than Commander Byrd. From
the Greenland base of the MacMillan ex
pedition at Etah last year he flew 8,000
miles over the Arctic, studying the be
havior of oil, motors, compasses, and
other navigation Instruments at great
altitudes over the Polar sea.
With him this time Commander Byrd took a noted fuel
expert who is Flying Commander G. O. Noble, as It
requires great skill and pains to prevent the freezing
of lubricating oil and stiffened action of the motors, if
forced to work on the plane In the open at groat
altitudes with the thermometer nt 60 to 70 below zero.
The points which favored the month of May were that
the Arctic fog had not begun to rise und heavy snows still
covered the land and afforded many good lundlng places.
A factor of safety pointed out hy Commander Byrd In
connection with the use of the Fokker machine Is that It
carries a reserve engine. It has three engines. With a
light load one Is expected to he sufficient to maintain the
plane In flight. With a normal load, two engines will do
the work. I f two engines break down at ono time, when
the plane Is not too heavily londed. It may fly with the
use of one engine. The Fokker machine has a wing-
spread of slightly more than 64 feet. I t is said to be
a mnrvel of airship construction.
The other airplane—the Curtis Oriole—was to have
been used chiefly In finding landing fields so that If
the fliers found their main landing place covered with a
fog they might go elsewhere.
The Chantler was equipped with a powerful radio trans
mitter to send back the news of the expedition. The
Fokker also Is equipped with a receiving and trans
mitting set. Commander Byrd not only kept the world
Informed of the progress of the expedition, but received
through the Chantler weather warnings to guide him In
his flight.

Pick Up lee Pilot.
The ship Cbantler's first stop was at Tromso, Norway,
where an Ice skipper wns token on to pilot the Chantler
nnd Ita crew through the lee-filled water* around Spits
bergen to King's Bay, where preparations for the flrst
flight to the Pole were made. The planes, the Instruments
and the various oil mixtures used In connection wllh the
airship tests, were carefully examined and tested. Lieu
tenant Byrd’s original plana called for six flights as follows:
1—A 400-mlle flight irom Spitsbergen to Peary Lsml
to unload oil, provisions and equipment at a place that
looks promising for a landing.
3—A 400-mlle flight hack to Spitsbergen.
3— A second 400-mlle flight from Spitsbergen to Pe
Land base with further food, fuel and equipment.
4— An SSO-iulle flight to and around the Pole and h>
to the Peary base.
5— An 800-mlle round trip flight to the northwest o
unexplored areas In search of new lands.
0—A 400-mlle flight from the Peary Land base back
Spitsbergen.
It was his plan In his second flight to attempt to
cover new land, but when he received the report of
flight of Amundsen In his dirigible. In which It wns ate
that the Norge had failed to find any trace of
land, IJeutenant Byrd decided to abandon further 111

THE
H ow Expedition W a» Equipped.
Forty-flve hundred pounds of whole beef were Included
in the rations of the Byrd crew of forty-seven fliers,
seamen and technicians. Also four hundred pounds of
penunlcan (meat fats nnd raisins), huge quantities of
bacon, dried milk, erbswurst (pea soup) and other sup
plies In proportion were carried along. Cod liver oil was
Included for Its healthful properties. Herbert Griggs,
who had charge of provisioning Peary's expedition In his
famous dash to the Pole, worked out the rations for the
Byrd explorers. Two pounds per mnn per day was the
allowance to tuke care of all emergencies.
No amount of clothing Is really sufficient when flying
1,000 or more feet In the air In the Polar regions, but
every possible precaution wns taken by Commander Byrd
against exposure. The men were equipped with the
warmest and lightest of reindeer suits nnd with fur
parkas, a garment that reaches to the knees and has a
hood covering the head. Plenty of goggles were found
to be an absolute necessity to protect them against the
glare of the snow.
In spite of all the precautions the undertaking was
full of unseen danger. None of this equipment would be
of the slightest avail against some unexpected and un
precedented situation which might arise. There is nlwnys
the danger of snowhllndness. exhaustion, freezing, some
mishap to the engine. Lleutennnt Byrd anil hla com-
panlona, however, were particularly fortunate In escaping
with practically no 111 effects except the exhaustion duo
to such a perilous trip.
When the flyer Is near the Pole
prove that he Is near the Pole.

WHAT IS ADVERTISING!
"Advertising is the education of
the public as to whst you are, where
you are, and what you have to offer
in the way of skill, talent or com
modity. The only man who should
not advertise is the man who has
nothing to offer the world in the
way of commodity or service.”
