WASHINGTON. Will the United States be beaten in tho air race to toe Arctic? It appears possible, and even probable.

Three nations have entries in the race. Raoid Amundsen, famous ex­ plorer, is already at the top of Norway, preparing to jump off for Spitzbergen, and then the pole.

Oettir Algarsson, Canadian, Is'in England, loading the British blimp with which he hopes to reach the pole.

Meanwhile Donald B. MacMillan . me! navy tilers are getting ready tor their Arctic jaunt. . Algarsson will be in the north a month before MacMillan's party ar­ rives from the United States, which

This means that both Amund and Algarsson will have big le on the Americans. However, MacMillan expedition Isn't actually seeking to reach the pole.

Amundsen goes north under the auspices of the Norwegian Aero Club: The expedition was financed by $100,000 from James W. Ells- worth of Manhattan, and has with it two Durnier-Wahl seaplanes built in Germany. His chief pilot is Riiser-Larsen, a fellow country­ man.

When he stated his plans, Am-unds that he would

It might bo possible to establish a fuel and food base at the pole for further aerial exploration. From Kings Bay to the pole Is only a

ven-hour flight. From the pole luth to Wrangel Island and Beh-

ring Strait Is about '1500 miles.not unlikely, therefore,

that Amundsen, too, may search the Island continent; may set

foot thereon, if such a land exists, id «laim it for Norway.

Success Depends on PlanesAlgarsson also expects to make

observations around tho pole, andhe, too, may search for the undls-

recl land.nt-Millan Is making his venture ;r the auspices of the National

Geographic Society, with tho United vy co-operating unofficial­

ly. In addition to MacMillan. the navy contingent and the ship's

here will be about a dozen i in the party. Among these

John M. Jaynes, who has ith the explorer on several

expeditions as chief machinist He s a graduate of Massachusetts In- itltute of Technology. B. F. Mc­ Donald of Chicago, president of the Radio Broadcasters' League, will

.rtre of radio facilities. The flight commander Is I.lcut.-Comdr. R. E. Byrd. Pilots chosen for the expedition's planes are' Lleut. M. A. Schur and Chief Boatswain Earl E. Reber.

On the planes these two men will pilot, known In both Uncle Sam's flying services as Loenlng Am- ihlblans, hangs tho success or fall- ire of this new venture In polar

ihlp demonstrated Its ability to and In the water, put down Its

electrically operated retractable wheels and taxi up tho sloping banks of the Potomac to its hangar "just like a duck coming home to niuHt," us one pilot put It. In the Arctic the planes will have sklu Instead oC wheels.

At McCook Field the "Amphlb" attained a high speed of 122 miles un liuur and a celling of 14.000 feet. Equipped for the Arctlo trip It will curry 260 gallons of gas and have a range of 1000 miles with n crew of ttt'o und thi'lr provisions and equipment. Kmpty the piano weighs 3900 pounds.

Shsckleton's Commander Aids No Arctlo explorer has ever

studied all conditions above the Huriucto In these regions. It is be- litveil that tho temperature at points above the surface Is wanner than on the Ire-liuuiul land und water, and If thl.s l>. true, flying will Iw murli in.irr comfortable limn traveling In Hi" "Id «uy.

Woreley, who commanded Shackle- ton's ships, "Quest" and "Endur- an£e."

Commander Worsley thinks Uenan nose the Iceland north towithin COO miles of the pole. Herleek is prepared to carry the air-ihip. When the polar ice halts'urther progress the blimp will benflated for her dash north. There»lll be food for thirty days for her;rew of four, a light sledge andother equipment against tho emer-

jncy of having to hike back.Algarsson's blimp has a cruising-jeed of fifty miles an hour. Hecpects to reach his goal in twelveours, less if winds are favorable.Amundsen's planes, which are ofle same type as the ill-fated shipi which Lleut. Antonio Locatelll:tempted a trans-Atlantic flightst year In preparation for a polartpedition, are much faster. Each

has sufficient cruising range toike the trips planned and carry

considerable aerial exploration of the polar basin, if no mishap be­

lls them.But science probably will profit ost from the MacMillan expe- tion. Fof tho party expects to

accomplish' within a few weeks i numerous difficult explorations, in I addition to tho one In the vast no-

man's area of the Arctic ocean.What They Seek

They propose to reach tho top­ most points of the Greenland ice cap a venture practically impos­ sible by the overland method of travel. They will hunt, both in Greenland and Labrador, for traces of the Norsemen who were the first white men to visit these re­ gions.

Several scientific studies not hitherto feasible, with bearings on climate, radio, terrestrial mag­ netism and aeronautics, will be made. If the airplane venture succeeds, large areas of Arctic ter­ ritory now known only In general outline will be mapped in topo­ graphical detail with special instru­ ments carried by the fliers. Pic­ tures, still and moving, will be made of many scenes that have not yet known a camera.

Nothing of the sort has been tempted before. If the effort yields no other result, It should provid much new and valuable Informa­ tion about the worthiness of air- plan.es under these conditions.

CARE OF NICKEL Nickel and nickal-platad ar­

ticles do not tarnish as readily as silver. Washing them fre-

and drying them with a soft cloth or paper will usually keep them in good condition. Whit-

may sometimes be used to brighten nickel that has become dull, but such a condition often means that the surface is scratched or the plating broken. Replacing is the only remedy in such cases.

Rice with Tomatoes and Onions. Steam together one cup rice, one an tomatoes, one large onion cut n pieces. Season with one tea­
