British Engineer by Wilkins's Party j Crosses Danakil Told by Wireless in Abyssinia Message to Pilot's Father Re- ports Success in the Antarctic New York. â€" Radio messages sent from the antarctic by Capt. Sir IlubPrt Wilkins told ^t the first air- fiieht niiK'.j over tliaf region. One message, addressed to Ole Eielsou ot Hatton, N.D., father of IJcut. Hen Eielson, pilot of the expe- dition, load: "Bpn made first antarctic flight to- day. Regards. Wilkins." A second message was received by the Wi'itrht Aeronautical Corporation. The U'iUtius expedition, the object of which i.s to study weather condi- tions and lt)i:ate suitable places in the antarctic for meteorological stations, left New York, Sept. 22. They were bound for Deception Island, a desert- ed bit ot land GO miles off the coast of Graliam land, duo eouth of Cape }lorn, the southern extremity ot South America. From a base either on Graham Eand or D.t'CPiuiou I.sland they hoped to make flislits of exploration east rl-jug f ;raham Land and. west to the Ross Sea. Tli«j latter flights would carry expedition. The messages from Wil- kins «w:e sent via Port Stanley in the Kalliland Islands.

The journey was accom- plished by L. ~M. Nesbitt, a British mining engineer, accompanied by two Italian traders. T. Pastori and G. Rosina, with a caravan of 15 natives, 25 camels, and 4 mules. The party started from Hawaah Bridge station on the Jibuti-Addis Abeba Railway, on March 13, zig- zagged along the course of the Hawash River to the Sultanate ot Aussa, where tliey were met by an escort from the Sultan, who, after a period of mis- trust, gave tlie travelers safe conduct to the borders of his dominions. Thence they ma relied noitli to the Riru Sultanate, where water bole.-, are four or even six days apart and the heat is extreme owing to the 'greater part of the laud being several hn-idred feet below sea level. Ultimately they arrived at As:ialo- Dolol, on the borders of the Italian colony of Eritrea, reaching the coast village of Mersa Fatinia a few days later on July 1. Mr. Nesbitt is expected to locturo before the Royal Geographical Society at an early date. Lj.

Cons.): (The Argentine is showing pardonable ir- ritation at the United Stateo' prohibi- tive tariff wall policy.) Canada is in a position to sympathize with the South American Republic. This coun- try has endured the American con- ception of friendly commercial rela- tions for many years. Canadians have had to grin and bear it, al- though they buy more from the Uni- ted States than from any other na- tion. The moment any Canadian commodity finds a ready market across the border, the tariff is raised against it. The remedy for un- equal treatment lies within the pow- er ot Canada as it does in that of the South American republics. It cwa- sists of retaliation in kind. Mr. Facing-Both-Ways Ottawa Citizen (Lib.): Plain sense Insists that if you formally agree to renounce war and settle disputes by pacific meaiiH, there is no reason for the existence of a navy, let alone for the increase of a navy. But plain sense does not always carry the day In the discussion of navies and peace. Statesmen and political leaders live in a worlil which is full of awkward obstacles in the way i" accepting words to mean what they say. So, as In President CoUidge's case, we »re sometimes presented with the ' Ironic spectacle of a leader asking his followers to ratify a treaty out- lawing war on the one hand, and to Tote vast sums for the increase of the navy on the other.

A UUGHING BABY IS A GREAT JOY What can give more joy in the home than a laughing, happy baby. The well child makes everyone happy with his tuneful gurgl>3 and bright laughing eyes. It is oniy the sickly baby who is not a laughing baby, for it Is the little one's nature to be happy when well. Mothers, if your baby jji cross, if he cries a great deal and no amount of attention seems to make him happy, give him a dose ot BabyJs Own Tablets and he will soon be well and ready to radiate that happiness through the home again. Baby's Own Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative. They regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach and thus banish constipation and indiges- tion; break up colda and simple fevers and correct those troubles which ac- company the cutting ot teeth and In doing those things â€" and doing them wellâ€" they make baby happy and keep him happy. Tho Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockvllle, Cnt. In their early teens it is quite common for cirls to outgrow tlicir strength, and mothers should care- fully watch the health of tUe'r dauKli- ters at this time, tor it is when strength is sapped by rapid gruwth that anaemia develops. The first signs may be noticed by peevishness, langonr and headaches. The face grows pale, breathlessuess and palpi- tation follow, with low spirits. At the first symptom of anaeuia mothers should act at once. Neglect- ed anaemia often leads to decline, but if you see that your daughter's biood is enriched there need be no cause for anxiety. The finest blood enriclier ever dincovered is Dr. .Willia.T.s' Pink Pills. The pure, red blood created by these pills will quickly banish all signs of anaemia. They will build up yo\ir girl's health and ensure her a robust gii-lhood. Give your daUn'hlcr a course of Dr. WiUiams' Pinlc Pills now. Make her strong like thousands of girl.s who have been rescued from the clutches of anaemia by Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pill i. Here is a bit ^)f proof. Mi.ss Mary Venditti, Cata- mount. N'.B., says: â€" "TUree j'ears ago while attending a pouvont, 1 studied very liaiul to graduate. The result was I became very nervous and got so thill and pale my teachers thought they would have to send me home. 1 took dilTerent kinds of medicine which my parents sent me, but my condition remained unchanged. At last one of my teacliers gave me a box of Ur. Williams' Pink Pills, and I had hardly finished it when 1 could feel an Ini- provi nient in my condition. 1 con- tinned the use of the pills for some time longer, and I can hardly tell all the good they did me. I gained in strength and weight, and tho color re- turned to my cheeks, and at the eud ot the term I graduated.
