There are easier and less dangerous ways of earning a living than bootlegging or hijacking. It is a thrilling life, in many ways. "Business hours" ai& usually after midnight, in order to avoid police. Because of hijackers, two or three men, all armed, usually go together as bootleggers. Their car can go from sixty to seventy miles an hour, with between 300 and 400 gallons of alcohol. Dangerous Part Bogins When the car is safely past the city limits, the most dangerous part of the adventure begins. Speed is always over forty miles an hour. The bootlegger does not fear the State police greatly, because of the limited speed of police mounts. The load is generally in the cache by daylight, to be disposed of later. There Is always, however, the fear that some person may steal it, or the police may raid the place. Hijackers rob bootleggers. When a bootlegger hears of a load coming through he turns hijacker, learns details of the road, and how it will

Drifting in Polar Seas Amundsen Hunting Stranded Vessel

Bti NEA Service NOMtE, Alaska, June 5. —Somewhere, drifting about the great emptiness of the polar seas, is a little three-masted vessel that is slowly covering its appointed course on a voyage to nowhere. There are eight men aboard. They have been there for three years. They are waiting—waiting for their leader to drop down from the air and chart their course for them. The ship is the Maud, mother ship of Roald Amundsen’s first attempt to fly to the pole. This attempt was made in 1922. Amundsen flew north from Alaska, with the ship drifting about below as a sort of roving base. But the planes were wrecked and Amundsen came back overland. He left the Maud up there to wait for further orders. It has been there ever since. It is there now—Amundsen hoped when when he left Spitzbergen on his flight of May 21. The men were prepared to stay eight years. Supplies are sufficient and the boat is sturdy. So when Amundsen left Spltzbergen he hoped to visit the ship. ‘T must find the Maud,"' he said. “There are eight men drifting in the polar sea. They trusted m<f. They know I’ll come back somehow, some way. “And they were prepared to spend eight years there. Perhaps T can visit them on this trip.” But there is no word from Amundsen. Has his plans crashed and has he and his companions met the fate of so many Arctic explorers—death in the vast white silences? Or has he fonrjd the Maud floating

The “EASY“ washes ALL of the family wash clean. So do some other washers, but in the “EASY” wool blankets and other fluffy materials come out with their downy and fluffy surfaces restored.
