Antarctic ‘Snow Cruiser’ Goes for Trial
V- ' ‘ '«*•; . r- ■ i
Thousands of persons gathered In Chicago’s Grant park recently to view the “snow cruiser,” a huge glacial
dreadnaught built for Admiral Richard E. Byrd’s expedition to the Antarctic. In an experimental trip the huge
ice buggy traveled 15 miles per hour on its 10-foot wheels. Fifty-five feet long, the gigantic machine is built to carry
an airplane on its top. Steering levers control the wheels in pairs, although any one wheel may be turned sep
arately. Two 150 horsepower Diesel motors supply power for the cruiser.
May Head England’s ‘Rightful’ German Government
Should Great Britain set up a “rightful” German government (similar to the Polish government now
seated in Paris) as is rumored internationally, these three men would undoubtedly head it. They are: Dr.
Rudolf Breitscheid, left, former social democrat, who would be foreign minister; Dr. Hermann Rauschning,
center, one-time Nazi president of the Danzig senate, who would be chancellor, and Dr. Joseph Wirth, right,
former German chancellor, who would be finance minister. The three men are all exiles from Germany. The
rumor adds that Britain would loan the “government” 2,000,000 pounds sterling to defray expenses.

salem who recently escaped from
exile, may start a new' anti-British

by government officials. The mufti,

Aerial Musketeers Don Fighting Togs

British musketeers of the air head for their bombing plane. Equipment
includes oxygen masks, telephone apparatus, parachutes and machine
guns. In addition to the gunners, the plane carries a pilot, co-pilot and

Convicted Pastor Fights for Life
Rev. Walter Dworecki, Camden, N. J., preacher, sentenced to die in
the electric chair, is getting another chance to prove his innocence. The
pastor will appeal his sentence, given him when he was found guilty of
plotting the murder of his daughter, Wanda, who was slain by a stran
gler who testified Dworecki hired him to commit the crime, lie is shown
receiving a final embrace from his daughter, Mildred. The appeal auto
matically postponed the execution date, originally scheduled for the week
•f November 12.
‘Zoned’ Sidewalks Encourage Friendly Loafing
Energetic pedestrians of Louisburg, N. C., may claim the sidewalk’s center lane, but space at right and
left is reserved for those who like a bit of friendly loafing. A tobacco auction town, in some seasons it is
crowded by farmers who like to visit for a spell. Pictures at left and upper right show the more ambitious
citizens in the center lane, while lower right shows a young couple occupying the corner drug store side
walk space thoughtfully provided by the “zoning” ordinance.
Spinach and Sleds—All Part of Byrd Expedition
Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd, left, views with an approving eye the work being done by members of
his Antarctic expedition. His look is directed toward two carpenters assembling a dog sled at the Boston
army base. Right: the Popeye influence. Two members of the exploration party piling up cases of canned
spinach prior to loading it on the ships.
Meat-Eater
A vicious plant is this meat-eating
Venus fly-trap, found only in North
Carolina bogs. Here an innocent
bee .unknowingly .approaches .his
doom. Six tiny hairs inside the
doubled leaf act as triggers when
disturbed, causing the leaves to
come together, thus trapping Its
prey.
Here is poor Bernard Bee after
lighting inside the fly-trap and dis
turbing its "triggers.” The leaves
fold swiftly together, imprisoning
the victim with stiff bristles.
This action causes digestive juices
to flow, and the hapless bee will be
nothing more than a skeleton in a
few hours. He will have been de
voured by the plant. An enigma,
the Venus fly trap shows the transi
tion between plant and animal life.
Gardeners have had very little suc
cess growing the plant in other en
vironments.
Tippling Melons May Provide New Alibi
Alibis for an alcoholic breath may take a new twist if melon grow
ers adopt the technique developed by Samuel Untermyer of New York,
lie gives his melons any desired alcoholic flavor by binding a small bottle
of liquor to the stem of the growing plant. The plant absorbs the liquor
through a tiny tube in its stalk.
6Dog Show’ Behind France’s Front Line
An army may march on its stomach, as Napoleon once observed,
but its feet have quite a bit to do with the ground covered. Here Brit
ish troops line up for foot inspection behind the front lines in France,
and the grinning Tommies exhibit their “dogs” to the commanding officer,
who, like all British army officers, watches carefully his men’s feet.

Pull the Trigger on
Lazy Bowels, and Also
Pepsin-ize Stomach!
When constipation brings on acid indi
gestion, bloating, dizzy spells, gas, coated
tongue, sour taste, and bad breath, your
stomach is probably loaded up with cer
tain undigested food and your bowels don’t
move. So you need both Pepsin to help
break up fast that rich undigested food in
your stomach, and Laxative Senna to pull
the trigger on those lazy bowels. So be
sure your laxative also contains Pepsin.
Take Dr. Caldwell’s Laxative, because its
Syrup Pepsin helps you gain that won
derful stomach-relief, while the Laxative
Senna moves your bowels.Tests prove the
power of Pepsin to dissolve those lumps of
undigested protein food which may linger
in your stomach, to cause belching, gastric
acidity and nausea. This is how pepsin
izing your stomach helps relieve it of such
distress. At the same time this medicine
wakes up lazy nerves and muscles in your
bowels to relieve your constipation. So see
how much better you feel by taking the
laxative that also puts Pepsin to work on
that stomach discomfort, too. Even fin
icky children love to taste this pleasant
family laxative. Buy Dr. Caldwell’s Lax
ative-Senna with Syrup Pepsin at your
druggist today I '* \
