matters to read a magazine devoted en-
tirely to the subjects of travel. the com
mercial sciences and the worlds people
that only a comparatively few magazines
in America have a greater circulation
than has the National Geographic Maya
zine. 1t Is a magazine, however. whose
profits do not find their way into pri-
vate pockets; they go into the treasury
support it. 1t stands out unique in mag
azine making and in scientific society
history. Instead of being supported by
a society, the society is largely support
ed by 1t.
In recent years the society, through its
Henry Gannett is

0SSe"ASA "VAA' substantially to di-
rect geographic research. 1t began this
line of work first by sending small expe.
ditions to study the volcanoes of Mont
Pelee and La Soufriere, trained geolo-
gist to Sicily to study the earthquake
causes and effects, and later sent repre-
sensatives into the arctic regions on sew
eral expeditions, also contributed fnan-
cially to the PeGry expedition, resulting
in the discovery of the north pole. More
recently it has maintained a special ex-
petition engaged in the study Of the gla-
ciers of Alaska. This most important
work has been completed and the results
will be published as a contribution to the
world knowledge next spring.
We know that man first made his ap-
pearance on the earth about the time of
tie glacial epoch. Yet that time is SO
remote that we can get little clue to
what went on about those times, except
in general way and from deduction.
But today. there is being enacted in
Alaska, where the finest glacial system
in existence is to be found. the same sort
of natural phenomena that took place in
the glacial epoch, and there for three
years special expedition under the di-
rection of Prof. Ralph S. Tarr Of Cor
nell and Prof. Lawrence Martin Of the
University of Michigan has been sup
ported by the society. This represents
the most important step yet taken by a
geographic organization in the direction
of mastering the geography Of the
geologic past.

BOBBY COON GOES FISHING

shone in the moonlight and suddenly
there was little splash right in the
middle of it and then another and anoth-
er. The little minnOws were playing and
jumping out of the water
By and by one of them grew careless
and jumped right close to Bobby Coon.
Like a flash one of his little black hands
shot out and scooped that careless little
minnOw out on the bank. and it was done
SO quickly and so neatly that it didn't
scare the other little minnows. My how
good that little fish did taste! 1t tasted
just like more, and in a few minutes
Bobby was back in the black shadow
sitting as still as before.
So he fished and ate and ate and f1shed
and had such a good time that he forgot
all about Farmer Browns boy and Bow

seemed to come from right over. his head
said:

Bobby Coon thrust his head out Of his
hollow tree in the Green Forest and eau
tiously looked this way and looked that
way The silvery moonlight made queer
shadows all through the Green Forest
but Bobby Coon was not afraid OF shad-
ows For a long time he sat in his door
way and looked and listened, but there
was no one to be seen and not a sound
could he hear. Slowly and carefully
Bobby climbed down the hollow tree
When he reached the ground he yawned.
Then he stretched his front legs and after
that his hind legs. After this he sat down
to think, and while he thought he kept
rubbing his stomach with one hand.
what a bother an empty stomach Is,
thought Bobby Coon. Then he chuckied
as he added: But what fun 1t Is to fill
tt
Bobby Coon certainly was hungry.
There was no doubt about that. You see
for two days and nights he had had moth
ing to eat No, sir, he hadn't had a
mouthful since that morning when Farm
er Brown and Farmer Browns boy had
found him in the cornfield. He had felt
sure that Farmer Browns boy would get
Bowser the Hound and try to find him
again, and so he had wisely staid curled
up snug and safe in his warm bed in the
hollow tree. But now his stomach just
wouldn't give him any peace. He had
just got TO get something to put in 1t. OF
course the easiest thing to get would be
some of that delicious yellow corn over
in Farmer Browns cornfield. 1t made
Bobbys mouth water Just to think of 1t.
But it wouldn't do to go there again. not
right off anyway, for If Farmer Brown $
boy really was looking for him that
would be the very first place he would
look. No, he would have to get his dinner
somewhere else. 81 believe I'll go fish,
ing" said Bobby Coon, and of he started
for the Laughing Brook.
Now, Bobby Coon dearly loves fish, and
though he is no swimmer he Is very
smart fisherman. Very. very softly he
stole down to a little pool he knew OF
| where little minnows love to play because
there they are safe from the hungry big
| fish that live In the deep water. Bobby
Coon didn't rustic so much as a leaf as
he crept to the edge of the little pool
Then he sat very still In the black shad

ASOUR, Classy,
UPSET STOMACH
"Pape's Diapepsin" Over
comes Your Indigestion
in Five Minutes.

Wonder what upset your stom-
ach-which portion of the food
did the damage-do you? Well,
don't bother. If your stomach is
i'll d revolt; if sour, gassy and
upset. and what you just ate has
fermented into stubborn Jumps;
your head dizzy and aches; belch
gases and acids and eructate I'M
digested food; breath foul,
tongue coated-just take a little
D4apepsin and in five minutes
you truly will wonder what be-
came OF the indigestion and dis
tress.
Millions of men and women
today know that it is needless to
have a bad stomach A little
Diapepsin occasionally keeps
this delicate organ regulated and
they eat their favorite foods
without fear.
If your stomach doesn't take
care of your liberal limit with
out rebellion: if your food is a
damage instead of a help, re-
member the quickest. surest,
most harmless relief is Pape's
Diapepsin, which costs only 50
cents for a large case at drug
stores. It's truly wonderful-it
digests food and sets things
straight, so gently and easily that
it is really astonishing. Please,
for your sake. don't go on and
on with a weak, disordered stom-
ach; it's so unnecessary.-Ad-

One of the most unique events in the
whole history Of banquet-giving will take
place In Washington the evening OF jan
uary II. when the National Geographic
Society will give its eighth annual ban
ouet. Here the intrepid Amundsen and
the undaunted Peary. the two men who
conquered every obstacle that had
thwarted generations of explorers and
discovered the north and the south poles.
will meet in the presence Of the members
of the organization from many parts OF
the country, one as the guest of honor
and the other as the toastmaster or the
evening. Never before in the history OF
dinner giving has such a thing taken
place. and it is only recently that such
an event has been possible. Norway ana
the United States will jointly celebrate
the splendid achievements of their gal
liant explorers whom the perils OF eternal
cold, perpetual snow and never -disap-
bearing ice could not battle in the quest
of the poles.
This is not the first time that Capt.
Road Amundsen has been honored by
the National Geographic Society. De-
cember IA. 1907, he was awarded the So
ciety's gold medal-one Of the rarest tro-
plies in all geographic honors-for the
discovery of the northwest passage. He
now will be awarded a special gold med
al for his achievements in south polar
exploration. and 1t will be placed in his
hands by the man who has stood at the
other end of the earth, himself a medal
list of this organization. Many hundreds
of society members. the President of the
United States. the members of the cabi-
net, the justices Of the Supreme Court,
the diplomatic corps. members of the
Senate and House of Representatives rep
iesenting the society's membership IN
every state and territory and number
Of foreign geographers will witness this
unique ceremonial.
The National Geographic Society is a
forum from which many of the worlds
greatest achievements have been first Of
ficially proclaimed in America. Here
came Shackleton to tell of his approach
to the south pole. Here came Peary to
tell of his conquest of the almost insu-
perable difficulties that lay between civil
lization and the north pole. Here came
Roosevelt to relate the story Of his great
expedition into Africa. No matter how
great has been his achievement or how
full his fame result, no discoverer
or geographer has not felt honored by an
invitation from the National Geographic
Society to tell of his work under the aus
pices Of the society.
And well it might be so. for today the
