The lower middle classes are for tho

One Of Most Remarkable
Stays in Ice Recorded

NEW YORK, September S.--The re-
turn to civilization of Donald q. Mac
MILAN. American explorer. brings to a
successful close one Of the most re-
markable stays in the ice Of the roof
OF the globe recorded in the annals
Of Arctic exploration.
Unusual good and unusual bad luck
marked the expeditions history. No
less than five ships were used to get
the party into Northern Greenland, nd
on the two unsuccessful and one sue
cessful attempt to bring Macmillan
back home again. but not a single per-
son involved lost his life. and there
were no more serious casualties than
the loss OF frozen toes. This is q
unique record for an Arctic expedition
lasting four years.
Although the enterprise cost about
$3.50. 900. and was one OF the most, II
not the most. costly every known,
scientists OF the American Museum OF
Natural History here are frankly de-
lighted to-day with the wealth of now
information and the specimens of min
erals and the fauna and flora Of the
frozen North. which Macmillan brings
back.
