In Aberdeen, Mackenzie King now has the right to trade. London City of freemen "scot and Aberdeen confers requires, freedom without charge. A guidebook Issued with the authority of the Aberdeen corporation indeed scoffs what is called the "Aberdeen joke" about "financial niggardliness." Of Aberdonians "generally speaking," it says: "The 'Aberdeen joke' is a fraud. The best of the stories are invented in the city and circulated as a species of free advertisement. The calculation is if outsiders are persuaded that Aberdeen is populated by a queer or peculiar set of people there is bound to be a seasonal rush north of curious strangers with money in their purses, desirous of studying the denizens in their lair.

The Aberdonian, in fact, is generous when his pride is touched or when any deserving local object, such as the reconstruction of the local infirmary the improvement of his university, is in question."

That WAS confirmed shortly afterward when the United States Army Signal Corps Station at Seattle received a message, timed 4.20 a.m. E.D.T.

reporting a position estimated to be about 400 miles on the North American side of the Pole. "Everything all right," the fliers reported at that time. The fliers had been in the air 28 hours when the the consulate said they crossed the North Pole. This would give them an average speed of an hour from Moscow. Allowing for the natural increase in speed as the plane is lightened by the decreasing fuel supply, it would take the airmen close to 40 hours more to complete their unprecedented hop to San Francisco Bay.

This would make their probable arrival time p.m. Sunday (5 p.m. E.D.T.) May Travel Steadily Airmen here said the pilots probably would hold their motor speed steady. This, experts said, probably would limit the plane's speed to 95 miles an hour.
