AT THE GARRICk

Rover West and Al Edwards. who
are appearing az the Garrick Theatre
this week, are making a big hit with
their comedy and music. One is a
black-faced artist and 20 an inienis
and purposes is an 0ld-time minstrel
lie has a Tot of natural Wit. which he
uses 10 good advantage, while his part
ner is a very clever aid, also being .
real comedian.
But the big feature OF tho act is the
music each member of the team be-
ing an excellent musician. They play
banios. saxophones, cOrnets and other
Instruments. One has a diminuiive con-
certina from which he extracts the
sweetest kind OF music In a manner
initiating the words Of a song. while
his companion, using a cello; also irli-
tates a harp by picking the strings, In
addition 20 playing in regular fashion,
with a bow.

those Of a much younger man.

Capt. Bartlett said that for some
time during the short summer SNOW

der the rays Of the never setting sun.
The captain has photographs taken
at Etah during his last expedition
which show there was 10 snow left
even on the rookeries where auks
and looms nest. Photographs OF Cape
Alexander. called the gateway of the
Arctic, and Cape York, in north
Greenland. also show ground bare of
snow. In some of Capt. Bartlett's
previous expeditions he has seen flow
ers blooming only 400 miles from the
north pole.
The warm weather lasts only
about two months and ships which
AVE made their way very far north
are usually caught in the ice In the
returning cold weather before they

there will be a great difference. We

Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske. who

has himself invented the t~orpeGoplanc

Cussing the expedition that he re-

1t is shining almost without cessation

is sufficiently long to establish = base

Perhaps tho confidence OF Admiral
Peary and his associates in the sue

may be linked in some strong way
with their confidence in the leader. OF

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 20.
THE year 1918, which came in to
martial music and the tramp
= Of marching hosts, Is going
out to dance music and the rhythm OF
dainty slippered feet. Never have so
many dances been crowded into so
fhort a time as have kept the young
people on the go since the middle Of
the month"; land will until after New
Years.
There has been a succession Of
dances - debutantes' dances at first
and now benefit dances, and private
balls, till you can't rest. AS a matter
Of fact, nobody wants to. Each night
has been one big dance and a dozen
little ones. Just running through this
past week-on Monday the Zaldivars,
the Minister Of Salvador and his hand
some English wife, had one at the
legation for Miss Julia Zaldivar, who
had made her debut at a tea during
the afternoon. That was of a
young peoples dance" and all the
younger set were out in force to do
honor to the n diplomatic debutante
of the year.
That same night there was a great
official dinner at the Willard, the
Comptroller of the Treasury and Mrs.
John Shelton Williams being the hosts.
and the dinner being a sort Of official
sendoff to the McAdoos. All the Cab
met, who were in town. were there
with their wives, members of the Fed
eral Reserve Board with their wives,
the Assistant Secretaries of the Treas
ury and their wives. Mr.. McAdoo's
chief assistants in the Railway Ad-
ministration and their wives, head "
the War Trade Board. War Risk,
Farm Loan. various bureaus Of which
Mr.. McAdoo was ex officio head And
last, but not least. the new Secretary
Of the Treasury and Mrs. Carter Glass.
First OmciaI Appearance.
1t was his first appearance in his new
character at any function, and Mrs
Carter GLASS; first appearance in
Washington at all as n Cabinet woman.
She came up from her Lynchbure
home for hat dinner and immediately
returned to It, taking Secretary Glass
with her TO spend Christmas at home
with their two daughters, their
thoughts ranging far afield with their
two sons, who are both overseas. One
Is in Germany with the troops. the
other in Paris with the peace mission
having been recently recalled from the
front as an aid to Col. House.
Mrs. Glass and the girls expect to
ONO to Wash!ngtonsin January and
perhaps take a house. though Secre-
tary Glass has heretofore been living
ct a hotel. maintaining his home al
~LTnchburg, and having Mrs. Glass
and their daughters here whenever the
spirit moved them.

lett said that his previous experiences
in the north had convinced him that
the airplane is the ideal vehicle for
arctic exploration.
Il have made n number Of flights,
Including a flight in a combat machine
flying 1877 miles an hour, and as soon
IS ] saw the extensive range of view
thai an aviator has at the height Of
1000 feet and upward I realized how
rimple it would be to explore with air
planes instead of dog sledges," Capt.
Bartlett said.
During June, July and earlier Au-
Gust 1t is not very cold in the polar
regions. 1t varies from a few degrees
above the freezing point to about so
degrees. and reaches 60 for days at a
time during July. In other words. 1t is
warmer than New York during De-
tober or November. During the warm
est six weeks we can do more eXplor-
ing and cover more ground in air
planes than has beer done in the past
10y all the Arctic expeditions put to-
Gcther.
I'VE have three important missions
10 accomplish. The first is TO fly across
the top of the world from Cape Co
lumbia on the American side to Cape
Chelyuskin on the Siberian side; the
second, to conduct extensive soundings
in the Polar basin and make a map
of the floors of the basin and collect

balloons and explore the upper air OF
