appear in the horizon. In a few
minutes I was over what I hope
to be Resina, Saskatchewan. This
hone was presently confirmed
wh n I identified, Moosejaw, an
other large city, slightly to the
south of Regina,
I was on my course with 500
miles to go. From Regina to Ed
monton there were no landmarks
which could be checked on at
night. Although morning twilight
begins in that region about 2
o'clock, the fact that I was travel
ing due northwest and away from
the dawn, made darkness follow
me until within 20 miles of Ed
monton where I landed at 3:45
a. m. Edmonton time.
REFUELLED AT EDMONTON
I spent about an hour at Ed
monton where I had breakfast
while the ship was being refuelled.
As soon as the plane was ready,
T took off for White Horse, Yu
kon—another 1,100 mile trek.
There Was a strong west wind
which grew to a 40 mile gale as
I climbed to 7.000 feet in order to
clear the Canadian Rockies.
I had 10 hours of gas in the
tanks when I left, but the haid
head wind reduced my speed to
such an extent that upon reach
ing Hazelton, slightly more than
half way between Edmonton and
White Horse, I found that I did
not have enough gas to reach
my destination. I could not go
on and had to find a suitable
landing place, which 11 did at
Vanderhoof, British Columbia,
where I put the ship down m a
small ploughed field about three
miles north of the village.
Due to time wasted in getting
fuel, there was not enough day
light left for me to continue on to
White Horse where there are no
facilities for night landing. I
therfore decided to remain at
Vanderhoof until dawn, Saturday.
I took off at 3 a. m. and
Hear the new Brunswick records,

reached White Horse after fo.ur
! and a half hours of extremely
i difficult flying. The peaks of the
j mountains were obscured in
clouds and I had to pick my way
along the valleys and streams.
Luckily, there was no wind to
bother me.
Following nearly three hours of
valley chasing, having zig-zagged
up one valley down another I
came out at Atlin Lake directly
on my course, but somewhat the
worse for wear, as flying at 150
miles an hour along winding
bottoms of valleys hemmed in by
rugged mountains, is not con
ducive to restful meditation.
From Lake Atlin on, the
weather cleared somewhat and
I landed, took on gas and left
for Fairbanks. Here I refueled,
hopped off for Nome, and once
again I had low clouds and mist
as traveling companions.
STOP MADE AT NOME
I reached Nome at 6:10 p. m.
having covered the 1,500 miles
from Vanderhoof in 12 hours.
I remained in Nome one hour and
and then'returned to Fairbanks,
getting there at 11 p. m.—still
broad daylight.
After five hours of rest, I left
for White Horse where I arrived
at 8:40 a. m„ refueling and set
out for Edmonton. I was within
200 miles of that city with the
worst part of my journey behind
me when the trouble which even- ;
tually forced me to land began
to develop.
About half way between Prince;
George and Jasper, just as I was,
starting to gain altitude to clear'
! the last mountain range before j
j reaching the open prairie country, !<
! my engine suddenly sputtered and j
1 backfired much as though my j
i altitude adjustment was set tool
: low. I immediately changed the;
adjustment and glanced at my i
gas-pressure gauge which indicat- j
ed normal pressure.
The motor, however, continued
to falter and at times would stop
! speed keeping the propeller
! churning. Then, again it would
1 pick up for a few moments it
would function smoothly. Mean
I while I kept losing altitude.
I I saw the handwriting on the j

; was divided between the dying

j a space big enough to land a i
' plane on in that rocky and de- j
I solate region.

DIFFICULTY IN LANDING
I had unbuckled my safety |
! belt and was ready to jump, much
j as I hated to leave my ship, but;
: I saw no other way out. As I
stood up in the cookpit of the,
plane I obtained a better view I

and spotted a small clearing

I know an easy way to keep from
fat.Light a Lucky

THE modern way to diet! Light
a Lucky when fattening sweets
tempt you. That’s what thousands of
lovely women are doing—successfully.
The delicately toasted flavor ofLuckies
makes them a delightful alternative
for fattening sweets. Toasting does it.
Toasting removes the impurities and
improves the flavor of the finest to
bacco. That’s why folks say: “It’s good
to smoke Luckies.”
Men who pride themselves on keep
ing fit discovered this long ago. They
know that Luckies steady their nerves
and do not impair their physical con
dition—many prominent athletes have
testified to this fact. They discovered,
too, that Luckies don’t irritate the
throat—a fact subscribed to by
20,679 physicians.
A reasonable proportion of sugar in
the diet is recommended, but the
authorities are overwhelming that too
many fattening sweets are harmful
and that too many such are eaten by
the American people. So, for moder
ation’s sake we say:—
“REACH FOR A LUCKY
INSTEAD OF A SWEET.”
