new' type oxygen mask for high
altitude flying.

of twenty thousand feet.

three hours under Hughes’ cross
country record made in a racing
plane in January 1937.

Submarine Station
For Weather At
North Pole
OSLO, Aug. (VP)—A $150,000 stain
('less steel submarine for use as
a permanent weather bureau un
der the ice at the north pole is
envisaged by Sir Hubert Wilkins
Arctic explorer and Antarctic av
iator.
Sir Hubert says weather re
ports nmi'st be greatly improved
before I regular air route can be
established across the polar ice
fields, j
“The kaily effective way to se
cure jsith reports is to have a
floating! .headquarters, and that
headquarters must be under the
ice because the ice masses are in
constant drift,” he says,
“A submarine could remain at
the north pole for three years.
Food and equipment would be
supplied by airplanes, which land
,ed on the Ace before winter be
igan. —
“Life in such a submarine
would be quite comfortable, as
the temperature of the Arctic Oc
ean is only 32 degrees Fahrenheit,
although the air is intensely
ocfld."
Sir Hubert says he has perfect
ed an instrument which would
drill a hole through the ice from
the submarine, so scientists
could get to the surface to take
observations.
