Managed Arctic Camp Continued From Page Three after having been rescued by the Trent 400 miles off Cape Hatteras, it was discovered that the equilibrator which had proved their udoing in the arctic venture, had again contributed to their disaster. This arrangement, which hung over the side, touching the water, was designed to keep the ship at an average height of 200 feet. When the sun heated the gas in the bag sufficiently to make the craft rise too much, the equilibrator would be pulled from the sea and by adding its extra weight drag the ship down again. When the America showed a tendency to descent the equilibrator would rest rest more of its weight on the sea and cause the ship to rise. The equilibrator, however, tossed by the waves, jerked the ship violently and threatened its destruction. The America was almost touching the water and nothing could be done about it. They saw the Trent, and since their wireless was out of commission, signaled in the Morse code with an electric torch. Later it was said that the sight of this air monster coming out of the dark with its manifold red hot, blinking an electric torch, almost scared the Trent's crew out of their wits. The fliers were picked up, however, having taken to their lifeboat and and abandoning the dirigible. At that time Mr. Wellman was 52 years old and made a world record for distance covered in the air as well as a time record for any kind of an aircraft but a drifting balloon. He and his crew were the first wrecked airmen to be rescued at sea. "Painstaking preparations marked all of Walter's air exploits," said Arthur Wellman, in discussing his brother's adventures. "All of his attempts were perfectly feasible in the light of a later experience, although at the time they were called impossible and foolhardy." [[note]] LAST PART Sunday Febr 1-1931 Pub. [[/note]] Mothers, Mix This At Home for a Bad Cough You'll be pleasantly surprised when you make up this simple home mixture and try it for a distressing cough or chest cold. It takes but a moment to mix and costs little, but it can be depended upon to give quick and lasting relief. Get 2 1/2 ounces of Pinex from an druggist. Pour this into a pint bottle; then fill it with plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey. The full pint thus made costs no more than a small bottle of ready-made medicine, yet it is much more effective. It is pure, keeps perfectly and children love its pleasant taste. This simple remedy has a remarkable three-fold action. It goes right to the seat of trouble, loosens the germ-laden phlegm, and soothes away the inflammation. Part of the medicine is absorbed into the blood, where it acts directly upon the bronchial tubes and thus helps inwardly to throw off the whole trouble with surprising ease. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway pine, containing the active agent of creosote, in a refined, palatable form, and known as one of the greatest healing agents for sever coughs, chest colds and bronchial troubles. Do not accept a substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded.---Advertisement. The Milwaukee Journal
