ISLAND OF WAKE Science Removes Obstacles As Pacific Atoll Is Con verted Into Modern Base For Commercial Airline. WAKE ISLAND (UP) -TM coral atoll from the air look l!k a "Rob inson Crusoe Island," but the Alex ander Selklrka on the ground live very well with seawater shower baths, radio news-reports and Hollywood films. Judged from Its location on the map, & traveler would expoct In far away Wake to find all that la lelt of Daniel Defoe's picturesque fiction pattern, but Instead finds a new kind of "pioneering," a struggle not for the primitive elements of exist ence, but for a technical perfection and physical comfort which slready made this three-Island atoll the place where tourists' dreams come true, Of problems aplenty, Stewart A. Saunders, airport manager, will dis cuss aa a Charmorro lad from Guam serves a breakfast of ham-and-eggs and wheat cakes. Rate Expunged One of the problems was rats. There were multitudes of them some say millions only a few months ago, living on bird eggs and hermit orabs. But now It Is Impossible to find a rat on the Island. They were trapped In tubs, driven to sea, pois oned by department of agriculture experts, and otherwise lurod to oo llvlon by the scientific pipers of the new era. Then there was rust. The temper ature here Isn't high, averaging only about 85 degrees Pnhrenhelt. and there Isn't an extraordinary amount of rain. But the molsturc-laden breer.es off the ocean leave things damp; tools rust, shower baths be come unsightly, and the delicate In strument of aeronautical erlenee need most careful attention Stainless Kteel Used Tor this problem, too, the answer das been found Every Item of ma chinery I carefully oiled and greased, atalnleM steel equipment la used In offlcea and hotel Operations over the l,ao-mll leg to Midway and the 1,800-mlle trip to Guam are no great problem here, aa there la readily available every known device of navigation and con trol, with continual radio communi cation, direction-finding radio equip ment, buoy-marked channels in the beautiful turquoise lagoon, and a supply atore, efficiently organised. The real concern In thla mld-Pa- clflo Islet which before the clippers was too lonely even for Japanese fishermen Is the hBpplnes of the alr-tourlsta who henceforth will be passing here regularly to and from the east. Nine newsmen In the first trans Pacific Clipper passengei party will attest to that. Soma even talked of staying here until the Clipper went to Manila and returned. Diversions Offered At thli point the atory catches tip with "Robinson Crusoe." For It la the aame elemental pleasurea that aaved Alexander Selklrk'a Joys snd csree for posterity which will delight the fleeting tourists. There are many diversions fishing, swimming, the observation of bird and shore life, the cooling relaxation of the evening breeze, the night sounds of the terns, hi rails, and maybe a frigate-bird, and the Introspective Joy of reflec tion on great distance. Saunders took the newsmen to the fishing grounds and they caught plenty of fish, including a pnrrot flan which weighed 113 pounds, and another of 110. As for swimming, the water Is elaar, warm enough, and within easy walking distance of the hotel. All In all, Wake Island (to be exact It's a horseshoe combination of Wake, Poale. and Wilkes Inlands) is a grand place. Everyday Cooking Miracles BY VIRGINIA FRANCI3 DUoxtor BetpotnS tUesrU Cookery nittmis If you want to "put a little Eng lish" on breakfast not the be monocled H-lesa type, but the zip Py peppy yp which you put on tennis balls serve some English muffins I Have you ever wondered how they were made? Perhaps you were like us thought English muf- meats to bake in a cold electric oven? To broil fish and thick Juicy steaks without them smok ing and spattering up the oven? To cook dried fruits and vegetables in the Thrift Cooker without pre viously soaking or parboiling them? Nevertheless, it ia "so" and while such cookery tricks aeem like make Frying English muffins on a gridtllo placed on the electric range U almost as easy as boiling eggs. fins grew only in bakery shoos, However, we discovered that they can grow right on our own griddlca -and, oh, they're so much fun to make. English muffins are simply over grown pancakes which have gained their corpulence from yeaat. They are pretty much like any yeast dough mixture only instead of bak ing them you fry them on a griddle. Now, are you one of those per sons who dislikes "griddle work" because of the smokineas and dis agreeable odor of burning fat which very often resulta? No Burning or Smoking Remember, then, that no auch Jietty grievances occur when mak ng English muffins or any other griddle food nowadays. The new automatic electric range with lta heat-controlled surface units is equipped to cook foods with meas ured electric heat. When properly adjusted and that Is done with a mere twist of the switch burning and smoking are entirely eliminated. What's more, it isn't necessary to use special cooking utensils, much leas even own a double boiler, when cooking on this range I The modern electric range holds the key to many other cooking miracles. For example, wouldn't you consider It aheer uncannlness to be able to start cakes, pics and believe, they are scientifically founded. Back to those English muffins which are destined to play such a popular role on your table. They not only act aa a grand eye-opener during the breakfast hour, but they are also luscious to serve as grilled open-face sandwiches.

Judd, professor of Hawaiian at the University of Hawaii. Many modern proverbs have their counterparts In the pithy sayings of Hawallans. "While tho rain Is still far off, thntc.h your house."was their earlier version of the modern "make hay while the sun shtnos." Other Hawaiian proverbs: A bald-headed man is like the ris ing moon: a double-chtnned person la like a wrlnklrvi-up eel: a gray haired person Is like white sugar cane. A water gourd gurgles when not full; eels of shallow water show their color. The sand crab Is small but digs a deep hole.

(UP) The progress being made by commercial aviation In Canada, and the vital role It la play ing In development of the country's vast natural resources, Is revealed by statistics reviewing progress during the ' past 10 years. The figures show that the coun try's airways have grown from a make shift system, using only 39 licensed aircraft and carrying only a little more than 600,000 pounds of freight In 1025, to a great network extending over the whole country and Into the far north, using 400 aircraft and car rying more than 26,000.000 pounds of freight In 103A. Figures for 1030. It Is expected, will show another great expansion, over the whole Canadian airway system moro than 44 tons of freight are carried dally. Commercial air transport has prov ed of Immense value to Canadian mining. Aircraft are used In prelim inary surveys of new territory. They bring In prospectors and equipment before ,or directly after, tho spring "break up' so that operations can start without loss of time that would be inevitable In long Journeys by conoe and other pioneer modes oi rtnasportatlon. Cargo Planes I'sed. Airplanes also transport drills and other gear for preliminary work. 'and carry men, supplies and machinery for subsequent development opera tions. The cargo-planes also ore em ployed to carry out "concentrate" or bullion when a mine la In produc tlon, and are relied upon to "ser vice" established mines, flying regu larly to and from the nearest centers of supply. Aerial survey work Is another groat field for civil aviation In Canada. Air surveys are made for suggested transmission lines, for new roads In virgin country, for horbor works, and also tor town-planning schemes. A vital part as also played by air craft In connection with Canadian fisheries. Th ntcklng of lakes and tho marketing of fish are carried out by air. For the past ten years the salmon fisheries off the coast of Brit ish Columbia have been patrolled by air from June to October. Flown to Market. In Quebec trout-fry Are flown from hatcheries to lakes, and In western Ontario last year moro than 100. tons of fish were flown from lakes to markets. Planes also are widely used In con nection with forestry work. Forestry engineers rely- on air patrols for flro detection and suppression. Survey flights sre made to check timber limits, and by air photography, In a single flight, An engineer can obtain a complete record of cutting opera tions. Canadian aviation undoubtedly will take another great step forwatd next year, when the long-awaited trans Canada airmail service 1a established. The service will be a vital link to the projected trans-Atlantic air service now being planned by Canada. Oreat Britain, tho Irlsn Free State and the United States, and will enable mall to be flown from coast to coast In less than 24 hours. 1 M. C. P.

M.CP. TO REFLOAT VESSELS SAN FRANCISCO (UP) While all the world has known (or three quarters of a century that Abraham Lincoln was the Oreat Emancipator, the fact that he was also the emanci pator of grounded shlpa has Just been revealed. With the recent wrecking of the American-Hawaiian freighter Ohio near the famous Seal rocks of 8an Prsnclsco, It was disclosed that Abra ham Lincoln was the Inventor and bolder of the patent for a system and device for the refloating of grounded vessels. The patent, which was Issued to Lincoln before his Inauguration. Is In the possession of Arthur L. Slee. San Francisco patent attorney. The invention provides for a system of buoyant chambers which are inflated at the side of a vessel to lift it off the rocks or sea bottom. Tho patent reads as follows: "Be It known, that I, Abraham Lincoln, of Springfield. In the coun ty of Sangamon, In the state of Il linois, have invented a new and im proved manner of combining ad justable buoyant air chambers with a steamboat or other vessel for the purpose of enabling their draft of water to be readily lessened."
