Neither route is totally virginal to aircraft; and neither is without hazard. In 1924 the famed U. S. Army round-world flyers fought fog, wind and snow along the Alaska-Aleutian route (that was in May). Five years later the Russian plane Land of the Soviets crossed eastward from Siberia to Alaska. Last month little Seiji ("Kite Crazy") Yoshihara, armed with Japanese goodwill to President Hoover, flew a small Junkers seaplane from Tokyo as far as Shana in the Kuriles. There his ship was so badly buffeted that he temporarily abandoned the flight, returned to Tokyo for a new plane...

Where Washington faced ice and snow, President Hoover had to contend with a scorching sun. Twenty thousand spectators, most of them in their shirtsleeves, were packed about his wooden stand.

Excerpts from his speech...
...thou art able, And on the seventh-holystone the decks and scrape the cable. -Richard Henry Dana Celebrated in song and story of the English-speaking navies and merchant marine is the holystone, a porous slab of sandstone used as an abrasive for keeping wooden decks snow-white.* In the U. S. Navy the holystone has been used since the Government first built ships. Formerly applied by seamen on hands and knees, holystoning is now performed with long-handled implements, mopwise. Nevertheless, there were always corners where the holystone had to be applied by hand. Petty officers sentenced flip seamen...
Like Death's beckoning fingers, two skis upright in a Greenland snow hummock last week signaled to searching Germans through the colored dawn of the returning midnight sun. Any unexplained man-made thing has awful import in the ice desert. The Germans clambered over the ridged ice to the skis, chopped them loose, chopped deeper into the frozen snow until they found the body of lost Professor Alfred Lothar Wegener.
