the degenerate ruler Couza that
brought about his compulsory abdica-

WARMTH IN ARCTIC
Road Amundsen Tells How Polar
Explorers Were Clothed. \
Protective, Yet Light Garments, I'm
perative on such Journey--Foot
Coverings Of the Best Thing
Of Much Importance

! On the first part Of the journey we
used double sleeping bags. The outer
one Of the skin OF reindeer buck. The
inner one Of light skin Of reindeer doe
or reindeer calf Both had the hairy
side In. Outside the two we had a cover
OF light linen cloth, somewhat longer
than the bags. This cover was always
kept on, both in the tent and on then
march. In the tent 1t protected the
bags from damp, while on the march 1t
kept the driven snow entirely out.
I Our foot coverings had necessitated
much consideration, and we're of the
very best. The great thing for us was
to combine sufficient rigidity with soft
ness. They must be soft, to keep our
feet warm, but stiff II our skis we're to
set firmly. l used the following my
self Outside all, a boot, the sole of
which was Of solid leather, the outer
covering strong. green, windproof
cloth. Inside these had pair of
reindeer skin boots. As for stockings,
next the foot wore little wooden
sock lined with "sennegrass" Ia kind
Of soft grass used by Laplanders In
their moccasins). i wore this sock not
so much for the warmth as to keep
the sennegrass in position. Then a
stocking OF dogs hair. Then an ordi-
nary wooden stocking and then two
pairs of gaberdine stockings. With
these my feet were never cold.
Otherwise we were lightly clad with
light clothing under gaberdine outer
garments. Our fur clothing, which we
took for use on the plateau, we never
had much use for. AS long as we had
them we used Thorn under our sleep
ing bags at night.
OF snow spectacles, several kinds
were used-each thought he had dis
covered the best. Personally, used
pair of ordinary spectacles with light
yellow glass II may seem unheard Of
to go on an expedition Of fifteen hun
dred miles in these surroundings with
only pair of ordinary unprotected
spectacles, in which the light can en-
ter everywhere-but did it, and, what
is more. without so much as suffering !,
once from snow blindness. That
speaks for the excellence Of the glass
in them. Doctor Schantz, in Berlin,
is the inventor. By process the
glasses have undergone they are able
to keep out the injurious rays.
On my hands l used, from our win
ter quarters to the pole and back,
pair Of ordinary walking wool mittens
with the four fingers together in one
compartment. One pair lasted the
whole way.-Roald Amundsen ID

MAKING A CAMPAIGN BANNER
tfow the Big Affairs Are Made and
Assembled and the Portraits
Painted.

The services of twelve men are
required to produce one Of the big
campaign banners, relates Harper's
Weekly.
Two men prepare the strips on
-Nhich the lettering is done. Two
more look after the lettering of these
6xips, the painting of the names Of
dnbs or associations ordering the
ksnners, the captions for the por-
limits and the Offices for which the
nnminees are to contend.
Two men work on the centerpieces,
generally consisting of an eagle and
Ghield. One man devotes himself to
TIE special portraits, and the others
assemble the various parts, sew the
strips together and give the finishing
touches to the banner.
The portrait man" scorns to do
any other work than the main por-
trait. The rest he calls "flling in"
BY working on the same faces day
after day this artist becomes SO skill
full and so rapid in execution that he
can paint the portrait of candidate
In the dark and paint it as true to
life as the standard of the campaign
banner industry requires.

 WASHINGTON. Feb. S-Touris7s. automobilists, cartoSraphers, geogra- phers. and scientists generally have learned with considerable enthusiasm Of the recent announcement by the United States geological survey that the new world map is rapidly near ing completion. Work on the Ameri- can section in which there is much interest in this country, IS progress ing rapidly. eleven sheets of the fif- ty-two having been already completed The scale of the map, l to 100000 gives 1t it's name, the international one-millionth map.
