“Alone” is the book that Admiral Byrd was four years deciding whether to write—the account of an experience so intimate—ana perhaps so catastrophic that for a long time he could not bring himself to tell it. It is an experience that onty one man could write about because it happened to just one man, and he was completely alone in the South Polar night. Nobody else was there to see, to listen 0» io Know. This is the account of Byrd's five months' isolation at Adv ante Base, the place far south of Little America. where in 1934 he nearly died.

I Fr(o W. BRAUN Deer hunting season will soon be open. Here are a few things to remember when you go on that hunting trip: Be careful when you climb under or over fences. Pulling a loaded gun through a fence by taking hold of the barrel is a dangerous stunt. Never leave a loaded gun leaning against a tree or rock, or lying on the ground or the bottom of a boat. A loaded gun should not be taken into a house, hunting shack, or car. Ma£y times some other person tries out the “sight,” pulls the trigger, and a fatality is the result. Do not clean a gun until you have made positive inspection ot chamber and barrel. Never point a gun at anybody. It's a foolish and senseless Action.
