MILES TOWARD SOUTH POLE
CONTINENT DISCOVERED BY
LIEUT.. CHARLES WILKES.
United States Government Urged to
Explore the Territory Designated
as .'Wilkes Land"

The diverse claims that have arisen as
To the national possession of the land
around the north pole since it's discovery
recall an interesting scientific suggestion
by the way of resolution adopted at a
meeting of the American Philosophical
Society i'm Philadelphia last May
The resolution. which was presented by
Rear Admiral George w. Melville, Henry
c. Bryant and f. s. Balch, was directed
at the claims of representatives of the
royal navy and Royal Geographical So
ciety that wilkes Land in South Ant
arctia, does not exist and should be ex-
pursated from the charts.
Lieut. Charles Wilkes, L. S n, first
announced to the world in 1910 the exist
euce of great antarctic continent. along
whose shores he sailed for distance OF
l,.ub miles This coast is known as
Wilkes Land but has not been visited
again.
Many of the early discoveries in West
Antarctic were made by American seal
crs-Swain, Palmer, Pendleton, Morril
and Smiley.
Verified by Others.
. All their discoveries are being verified
and enlarged by men of other nations.
1t is suggested that the same thing will
happen with Wilkes discoveries in East
Antarctic is America does not wake up.
The resolution recommends a cooperation
of American scientists and explorers to
urge the fitting up of expedition to
verify Wilkes discoveries.
The resolution sets forth that the Amer
lean Philosophical Society requests the
cooperation of the scientific and geo.
graphical societies of the United States

friendly relations without word Of
warning, but hint from Matte to
Gene soon set matters right.
Matte was accustomed TO Miss Jean
nette's sudden whims, and she assured
Gene that presently there would be a
turn Of the tide In his favor. Mean
while she had to obey Miss Jeannette's
prohibition against seeing Gene, so the
only communication they held was BY
means of notes.
Every morning when Gene came
home from his work he found a note
stuck In the wide mouth Of the empty
milk bottle beside the Boyer doorway,
The milkman came through the house
later, gathering up empty bottles and
leaving the filed ones.
To any person who chanced to pass
It would appear to be a note Of In

Gene, coming home tired and some
times dlsheartened, the little blue en-
velopes were like mental cocktails.
The same bottle would not serve as
bis postOffice as well, for Miss jean
nette took in the milk.
The best that Gene could do was to
leave his letters in the candy store on
the corner, where Matte could get
them when she returned from her
work.
Had Mrs. Carman been willing to
act as messenger the problem would
have been far more simple, but the
kindly old lady would have nothing to
do with the affair.
She was hurt that the friendship
should be so suddenly terminated and
still more hurt that her son should be
regarded as ineligible. She wondered
at his lack Of pride that he should still
want to marry Matte in spite Of Miss
Jeannette's prohibition, and she was
most ostentatlously neutral.
For a time the milk bottle postoffice
answered its purpose excellently we'll
Miss Jeanette went to bed early and
let Matte close the house, so that the
latter set the bottle out in the hall
every evening.
But one morning Gene did not come
home as usual. There had been SEN
sational accident, and all the men on
duty had been rushed TO the scene.
Even the men on the desks who could
be spared were sent out. Gene among
them.

reached home. 80 exhausted that not
once did he think Of the letter. Mind

Two Deaths Reported in Philadelphia
Besides Much Damage.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. TO- A
ten-minute windstrom of almost tor
nado proportions struck the upper
part Of Delaware and Southeastern
Pennsylvania this afternoon, causing
the death of one man and child and
doing much damage in the narrow
path it made through the two states.
In Philadelphia, the roof Of the

off and one man was killed. The
storm did considerable other damage
in this city. An unidentified girl
about II years old was rolled into a

Miss Jeannette was country bred, and
