    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

If you want to "put a little Eng

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

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.

HONOLULU (UP) Old Hawaiian
proverbs display striking evidence of
humor dihI wisdom in these Polynes
ian peoples, according to Henry P.
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.
Love is like fog: thcro la no moun
tain on which It doe not rest: lovo
excels a calabash of fish and pol.
Hang out behind and you will b
struck by the swordflsh.

MONTREAL. (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.

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."
