MAYTAGS WITH BYRD SOUTH POLE EXPEDITION Recently word was flashed by radio that Commander Byrd had flown to the South Pole. Fifty-five picked men with Com- ■ niander Richard E. Byrd of the Unit ed States Navy left for the Antarctic months ago. These cold, bleak months have been passed in explorations and surveys, and in making plans for a flight to the pole by airplane. They face six months to two years in this desolate country with its merciless elements, and during that time every domestic task, from sewing on but tons to washing clothes, must be done by the men themselves. Out of 3,000 applications, fifty-five volunteers were selected for the trip after passing rigid tests and physical examinations. Equipment of all kinds was selected with the same care, and the Maytag washer, with its sturdy construction, cast-aluminum tub and many other outstanding features was chosen as the washday servant. Not only the success of the adven ture, but the health and life of the men depend on proper equipment and careful methods of living. Cleanliness j keeps away disease, and so they are prepared to wash their clothes in Maytags. On the icy slopes of the Antarctic j Continent, when the men dress in heavy skins and furs, the Maytag will, of course, be impractical, but on the supply ship and during the long journey through the tropics and on farther south where the red in the thermometer drops nearly out of ! sight, there will be many days when the Maytag will find plenty to do keeping clothes fresh and clean for fifty-five men. Count the shirts, socks, breeches, blankets, handkerchiefs and whatnot i for fifty-five men. There is no place at which to purchase new supplies when clothes wear out. The nearest store is many, many miles away, so enough clothes are taken to last two years. From these clothes the Maytag will have to wash away the dirt. It won’t be dust—not in the Antarctics, but it will be grease from engines, grease from guns or instruments, grease from seals which are captured—real stubborn dirt, but with a good supply of salt water soap, the Maytag will take it out.
