Washington.-Frederick A. Cook.
the Arctic explorer, announced Sun
day night shortly after his arrival
from New York to deliver his lee
ture, that he will acquiesce in the
proposition that the University of Co
penhagen be asked to waive its claim
to prior examination of his records.
in order that the American Geo
grphic societies. and other scientific
societies in this country may be. en-
abled to review his data. He said he
would be satisfied to have the decis-
ions of all these tribunals announced
simultaneously. , d
Frankness characterized DIR. Cooks
answers to every question. although
the explorer added but little to what
he already has said and published
since he returned to civilization.
When asked II he would in the fu-
ture fit IN an expedition. to go to the
south pole, DIR. Cook said he was not
yet prepared to answer on that point.
but he added that the discovery of
the south pole would be much easier
than the north pole. and would be at
tended by far less dangerous risks.
He pointed out, that a probable route
to the sonth pole would be along
stretches. OF land on which stations
might be established and that this
would mean a quicker discovery.
DR.. Cook laughingly said he did not
at this time feel any earnest desire to
return to the north pole. D.,
An enthusiastic crowd Of several
thousand people greeted Dr.. Cook
upon his arrival and the throngs in
their eagerness to see or get near him
we're kept in check with difficulty by
scores OF policemen and detectives.
At the station there was a conspicu-
GUS lack Of official courtesies to the
explorer. None @. the government or
scientific officials were present TO
welcome him, nor were any civic
bodies represented.
DR.. Cook was cheered as he passed
through the streets.
Dr. Cook, in his lecture. deviated
but slightly from his previous utter.
ances in describing his dash to the
pole. and sought to confine himself
more to his travels and experiences
than to discussions Of criticisms
aimed at him. He asserted that while
he was glad to nave discovered the
pole and was glad to have returned

PLAN FINE TRIP TO CANYON
Boys viii Take Lunch and Have Rifle
Practice
(First Prize)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
CANNOT remember of a single
holiday, since l have been going
Il TO school. but what most C. the
boys and girls have planned for a
week or two ahead of time what they
will do on that day.
On my next holiday l am planning
to go to the canyon. which is about
five miles from my home. Three other
boys are going with me, and we are
all going on horsebac',.
We will each provide ourselves with
a 20 rifle and some ammunition. We
intend 10 start at o'clock in the
morning, so as to be in the canyon
by Z o'clock. when it will be cool and
pleasant. When we reach our des-
tination we will explore every nook
and cave that we happen TO see.
We will eat our lunch in the shade
of some large oak tree near a stream.
When we are through eating we will
water our horses in the brook and
then let them Craze in some good
patch of grass.
While our horses are thus occupied
we will put up a target and engage
in a shooting contest. When our am
muntion is gone we will find some-
thing to do until about o'clock in
the afternoon, at which time we shall
start home.
On the way back we will gather
some ferns for our sisters and when
we reach a good road we will have a
race, and 1 hope there will be no
reason for us to regret our trip.

CHURCH SERVICE WILL
MAKE DAY DIFFERENT
(Honorable Mention)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
T EXPECT Thanksgiving to be diff
ferent than other days, for several
u reasons. First thing in the morn
ing 1 will go to church and try to think
what the day is for.
People usually think of Thanksgiving
merely to get a good turkey dinner,
and to have little better time, in
stead of getting the real meaning
from it.
OF course l will be pleased with the
turkey dinner which l will receive,
also. In the afternoon 1 think 1 will
go out, maybe to Chutes park, or to
my cousins house. l like to go to
either of these places.
In the evening there will be the SER
Wees which | will attend. When all
this is done, my Thanksgiving will be
quite complete.

Letters TO Aunt Laurie From NepI1evS and NieceI
PREPARE FOR HOLIDAY EARLY
Will Make Christmas Arrangements
Early to Avoid Final Rush
(First Prize)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
m HE topic How Shall l Spend My
Holiday" suggests many things
to me, for l think the Chris tmas
vacation is the incest holiday we have
in the whole year.
OF course many people who work in
stores find it very trying time. One
of the things we are going to do is to
do all our shopping now SO that we
will not have to add to the work of
the clerks at Christmas time.
The week before Christmas we ex-
pect to spend finishing our gifts to
those in our immediate family and
vicinity, besides packing and sending
off all others. Letters of Christmas
cheer also, will have to be written
and practice for the church Christ
mas service will have to be attended
faithfully. We also try to give some
bit of Christmas cheer to someone who
is likely not to get any.
Early on Christmas morning my sis
ter and L play Santa Claus to mamma
and papa, giving them their presents
from a large bag in which they had
been accumulating prior to the great
gift day Then papa and mamma
give us our gifts.
Thus we are all exclaiming at once
over our things and we spend happy
hour together until it is time to greet
our neighbors. There ensues lively
exchange of merry Christnases.' In
the evening we attend the beautiful
Christmas service at the church. Thus
ends the day Of greatest happiness.
The week after Christmas we gen
orally spend in quiet and in leceiving
and returning visits which during the
school time are impossible. Now l
must close. with best wishes Tor the
continued success of the Junior 1 re-
main your loving friend.
