Bi> United Prrue WASHINGTON, May 28—If Raold Amundsen’s planes are wrecked near the North Pole, he and his pa'-ty are doomed to die on the Polar ice pack, Captain Donald R. MacMillan, leader of the Mac-Millan navey expedition to the Arctic this summer, told the United Press today. “Amundsen will never return if his planes are disabled at the pole,” MacMillan said. “He can never reach Cape Columbia at this season of the year. The ice is breaking up and he and his party will walk endlessly over the ice searching for a way to land they will never find. "Peary told me many times: ‘MacMillan, if you arc not off the ice by June 1 you will never get off.’ ” MacMillan, however, said it was far too early to give up hope for the return of the missing explorers whom he regards as the greatest

The time to get your divorce Is now. These phrases rolled from the lips of 60-year-old Edward Hodgson, who had just remarried the woman he divorced nine years ago. The woman Is Mrs. Alice Hodgson, 57, whose long separation from her husband causes her to concur In hts Ideas on the question of divorce. The couple explained that "we. couldn’t get along without each other.” “It may be difficult for a woman to become used to her husbands peculiarities of life, but once she .gets used to them she can’t live without them,” commented Mrs. Hodgson. The husband taking up the conversation stated: “It Is easy for those who are >oung and have been married a comparitlvely short time to separate, but not so with people who have passed the 40’s or 50’s'.

ABANDON HOPE FOR FIFTY DIXIE MINE WORKERS Seventy-One May Be Toll of Explosion—Eight Bodies Recovered. Bu United Pre SANFORD, N. C.. May 28.—Between fifty and seventy-one miners, are believed to have died in the gas explosion at the Carolina Coal Company mine near here Wednesday. Hope for rescue alive of any of the miners was abandoned by mine officials early today. If the explosion did not kill them, the after-damp snuffed out their lives, officials believed. Bodies of eight miners were recovered by a rescue squad before stopping work for the night. Recovery of the rest depends on the arrival of the mine rescue car expected here from Thomas, W. Va., today. The Red Cross and Boy Scouts are assisting relatives of the entombed miners. The death list probably will show more than fifty killed. The mine records show that fifty-nine men—-thirty-nine white and twenty negroes —went into the mine at 8 a. m., Wednesday. On the other hand, seventy-one miners lamps were out and the list of dead may be increased to that figure. At 10 a. m. today no additional bodies had been brought to the surface. Heavy gasses prevented prolonged search and at that hour the rescue workers awaited the arrival of the mine rescue car which was expected "any minute.” About three and a half times as much farm land In this country Is used for raising feed for animals as is used to raise food for people.
