What did Officer Mccormick do tc
earn all this praise? Why, he tackled
the tramp problem single-handed and

Many were caught ringing ''-that

Then Mccormick took affairs in hand
Seeing the matter required careful

In righting municipal wrong.
The chief Of police was aghast when
Mccormick made his request, as his
absence would deplete the force and
the other policemen in the town would
have double patrol duty to do but
granted the request.
In few days he was back on the

Then he finished his lunch hast

In vain he protested that 1t

CONTINUED
HAS JEAN CHARCOT
REACHED SOUTH POLE
FROM PAGE ONE.

there Is the huge, majestic ice
barrier Of the southernmost ocean.
There is nothing like this ice
wall In all the world. Sheer and
sharp, 1t rises out of the ocean 800
feet high, it's walls as smooth and
as level as glass. The midnight
sun, reflected against its sides,
throws its sheen for hundreds of
miles in the polar deep.
This ice wall Is to the sea what
the great wall of China used to be
on land.
Lieutenant Shackleton found
that after evading this ice wall by
wide detour, his troubles had
Just begun. Around him. under the
ice, slumbered volcanoes that add
ed perils to the cold and fierce
storms of the antarctic. There
were big mountains, gnawed down
by glaciers of the past, showing
their vitals through crevasses,
from which Shackleton and his
party had many narrow and thrill
ing escapes and which were the
cause of the failure Of the expedi-
| ton.
Here, then, nature is doing to-
day exactly what she did in the
United States millions Of years
ago. II the north pole Is the top
Of the world, the south pole is the
bottom.
Here, for all we know, we can
see the young earth changing into
the old.
The explorer argues that at the
south pole he can carry himself
back tens of thousands of years, to
the days before tehre even was
primitive man.
In general, then, barring climate,
the south pole differs from the
north pole as much as 1t would be
possible: in the character of the
''ice--the one level. as Cook and
Peary tell; the otehr mountainous,
as Shackleton proves.
The land in the far north is not
without signs of vegetable life near
the pole, while In the south there
is NO LIFE-nothing but the
craters of volcanoes, some extinct,
some active.
The weather is not so cold at the
north pole-about 30.to so degrees
below zero Fahrenheit, Peary and
Cook say. At the south pole, how
ever, Shackleton tells not only OF
extreme cold, but of biting storms
which made progress almost i'm
possible.
| So, IL the wires give the news
that DR.. Jean B. Charcot has found
the pole, we may know he has &C
complished something that will
mean as much to the world as
have the deeds Of DR.. Cook and
Commander Peary.
