EXPLORATION OF NEW GUINEA BY PLANE PLANNED Americans Hope to Reach Parts Never Reached Before by White Man. MANILA,P. 1., Feb. 5. —Men and in airplane soon will endeavor to penetrate the Interior of Dutch New Guinea on a quest which thrice has drawn exploration parties to destruction or defeat in that wild country of cannibals. Mathew Stirling’* of Berkley, Cal., for several years In charge of the division of ethonology of the national museum in Washington, will lead the party. He believes that an airplane will succeed under equatorial conditions where Jt failed In the Amundsen polar flight last year. Stirling expects to see territory and tribes never before disclosed to white men. Other members of the party are Stanley Hedberg of. Chicago; Richard Peck of St. Petersburg, Fla.; Albert Hamer of' 1 Coulter, Pa., and Hans Hoyte of New York. They have passed through Manila southward and will tranship at Batavia for Aroo Island, which Is about 200 miles south of the equator and Just off the Dutch New Guinea coast. Here they will assemble their plane. Second Largest Island Next to Australia, New Guinea is the largest island in the world. It constitutes one of the few remaining “unknown areas,” Stirling said in discussing his project. “Great physical difficulties are encountered by the explorer,” he said. "The backbone of the Island is a huge mountain range extending practically its entire length of 1,500 miles and reaching an elevation of more than 16,000 feet In the west. Lying jus( under the equator, the entiro surface of the Island Is clothed with dense tropical growth. “Natives of New Guinea have the. reputation of being hostile toward strangers and most of them are cannibalistic. They aro without doubt the most savage and primitive of all peoples of whom we have knowledge. Beyond the districts already penetrated there may be tribes even more savage. Use IYiniltivo Weapons

“The known natives are without Clothing and their weapons are bows, arrows, spears and clubs, of primitive design. The British eastern portion of the island Is fairly well-known, but the Dutch half is entirely unexplored in the interior.” Stirling said three expeditions had set out to penetrate the interior. Two of them turned back early and escaped disaster, but a third representing the British Ornithological society went into the Jungle in 1910 with a party of forty persons and returned after about two years with only eleven men still alive. Jungle fever accounted for most of the lives. Trophies of the Stirling expedition will he deposited In the Smithsonian Institute and the United States National Museum. GET CLEW TO THIEF Man Steals Electric Sweepers—One Machine Is Traced.

Cramping SpeDs rpOßsix years I suffered as bad as a woman can and still keep going,” says Mrs. Edd Burton, of Depew, Okla. ”1 was good for nothing, was lifeless and pale, unable to eat anything. At times I had such bad pains in my sides and back I would have to go to bed 1 had cramping spells and would faint if I stood on my feet for any length of time. My i * nerves would become upset at the least thing and I would have spells of crying that were so exhausting they left me prostrate. All this was caused by womanly weakness. I knew it, but nothing I took ever got to the source of my trouble. "Several of my friends suggested that I take Cardui They told me of their experiences with it and at last I decided to try it. In a few weeks I could see that I was improving, so I kept on. I did not expect the troubles of years to disappear in a few days, nor did they, but in time I was much better. I kept up the Cardui treatment for several months and, thanks to it, I am a well woman now, so I gladly recommend it to other women.” Cardui is obtainable at all drug stores.
