third from furthermos. unknown

The two from the North Pole coun-
try were DR.. Fridtjof hansen. the Nor

Dr.. hansen was on the floor above,
where he was the guest Of the Amer
Scandinavian Society:
The three are old friends. When the
Travel Club speakers heard that Dr.
hansen was less than fifty feet above
them they sent up their respects. Dr.
hansen was eager 70 meet them.
Mr.. Andrews has just returned from
a 25lOOO-mile jsunt into the wilds or
along. Together they penetrated INTO
parts Of China heretofore never oeheld
hy white man or woman. They so
iourned with strange nomadic Mongol
tribes In the snowy mountains OF uh-
nan. They had adventures with pan
dit bands that prey upon ventursome
caravans. They went so lar that they
found people who did not know
whether China was a republic or
monarchy.
They visited tribes who had never
heard Of the great World War. They
passed through any number OF villages
where white persons were great cur,
osities. Mrs. Andrews was the Official
photographer OF the expedition, which
was sent by the American Museum.
They brought back an extraordinary
collection Of mammals, birds and rep
tiles. inclading some rare specimens
Of the blue tiger OF Foochow and the
honey" bear.
On Admiral Peary's trip 20 the North
Pole he thought he sighted new lana
which he named Croker Land. After
