STEFANSSON TO EXPLORE
NEW ARCTIC TERRITORY

PASADENA, Eal.-1t is to lift
the veil of mystery from an unex-
plored icy area $50 miles beyond
the north pole, that Vihjalmur Ste
fansson, famed explorer, will make
his new Arctic dash in 1923, i:
His goal is the center of this ice
field, concerning which, nothing is
known. -.r'-. -..'
. This vast frozen tract, he believes,
is playing another part in the evolu-
ton of the world. The packs at

current of which flows constantly
Into the Atlantic. ocean. -. ..
This gradual melting and break
age process has placed the pole $50
miles nearer the ocean and inciden-
tally has moved the pole far from
the center of the island.
SUCH were the announcements of
vast scientific interest made by the
distinguished Scandinavian while he
was resting here at the home of
Ernest de Koven Leffingwen, who
commanded an expedition into the
polar regions in 1906. ,.l,H- g. g. ..-,.
The. area which he hopes to pene-
trate, Stefansson. explained, extends
some $50 miles this side of the pole
and the central point is located 500
miles from the edge of the ice reach
ed by ship. So hazardous g. trip will
lied expedition, and more than year
will be required to make necessary
preparation. -,
Stefansson appears to be in the
best of health and looks forward to
this new enterprise as the realization
Of a great ambition. What lies at
the center of the icy area, he points
out, has been the subject of much
conjecture and he hopes to answer
the question for the: world of sci

he said.F But that--wouTd eliminate

To make his point Stefansson- re-

MILLIONAIRE BRIDE
To MARRY SIMPLY
BY r. j. GIBBONS

CEICAG0.-'I want my marriage
to be lucky one"
This, says Miss Lolita Armour, the
worlds richest bride, is her reason
for wishing quiet wedding with
comparatively little expense arS no
elaborate gowns. She is the daugh-
ter of J. Ogden Armour. the multi
millionaire packer. On June 10 she
will become the bride of John J..
Mitchell, ,Jr.
A few years ago she was a Grip
pied child. A surgeons skill saved
her from going through life under
this handicap.
At Melody Farm. Lake Forest, a
wealthy suburb near here, she said
that her trousseau would be. made
of '1eft-overs," and that her wedding
gown would be just a simple little
thing of white velvet" costing less
than 5000.
81 believe that extravaganza is sim
full" she went on. ITO me it's per
fectly absurd for girls to squander
money on an extraVagant bridal at
tire. And no good luck comes from
MY whole outfit will be very in
expensive. Moreover: I'm not go
ing to wear "a single ,jewel-that is,
unless I have to.
And. oh yes! 1 will wear a little
cap fashioned from lace from my
mothers wedding gown. 1t has no
intrinsic value; just sentiment, that's
all. ~
you see, marriage is Serious
affair, and people should realize that
it is. Why should lavish money on
myself, when there is so much mis-
cry in the world? The money could
be used for better purposes. And
then you wear wedding gown only
once.
Starting out sanely, a man and
wife have better chance. If / were
to lavish small fortune on my
trousSeau and gown, memory would
bring only regrets to me later on.
1T. would be pure SelfiShness and
nothing else. 1 don't believe selfish
people are ever lucky, or happy. And
that's what [ want to be-happy.
Dress sanity is a good way to be-
GIN"
And so this girl, with multiplying
millions, who could buy all the finery
of Paris if she chose, has disappoint-
ed those Chicagoans who were look
ing forward to a marriage amid re-
gal splendor.
Only intimate friends-about fifty
of them-are to be invited to the we'd
ding. It'll be held indoors at 4
o'clock in the afternoon.
After that there'll be a two weeks
honeymoon in the east and prob
ably a trip to Europe.
Then the, couple is coming back to
Chicago to- 'keep house,"

Swiss Soldier joins
u. S. Marine Corps

It's a long way from Switzerland
to Atlanta, but not for Albion Am
bord, late of Grengiols, Switzerland,
who re-enlisted in the marine corps,
at their recruiting station up in the
Austell building, last week,
Private Ambord came to this coun-
try years ago from his native heath
er, and enlisted in the United States
army, in which branch he served for
fifteen years. At one time he was
in the cavalry, while at other times
he was a member of various other
organizations. At the close Of the
world war he returned to his home,
and not being satisfied with cordi-
tions there. returned to his adopted
country. While in Atlanta last week
he noticed a number Of marine corps
posters, which called up pleasant
memories to -Ambtrd, and he was
soon headed for the recruiting sta
ton, where he passed the .exanira-
ton with flying colors.
Asked why he chose the marines,
Ambord replied ~"that he wanted to
see the other side of the. world, and
he knew that it would be possible to
do so in the SOLDIERS of the Sea" .

IRISH QUESTION IS
BEFORE LABOR MEN

DENVER, Col, June 14.-Efforts
to prevent a widening of the breach
between the two factions of Irish
sympathizers among the delegates
was being made today at the opening
of the second session of the forty
first annual convention of the Amer
lean Federation OF Labor.
Advocates of Irish freedom, it was
learned, at mass meeting last
night, appointed a committee which
that would be satisfactory to both
the, extreme and conservative groups
of the assemblage.
When this committee started to
work, T. j. Wind, of Chicago, secre-
tary of the labor bureau of the Amer
ence, served notice that two Off
cial resolutions of the Irish repub-
lie" must be incorporated in their
resolution, or he would act independ-
entity in presenting the documents to
the convention.
The OFFICIAL resolutions" called
for boycott, not, only on British
by English capital, and the boycott
of British insurance companies and
similar business organizations. They
also provided that the executive
council of the federation shall imme-
diately compile list of English
made goods and firms backed by
British capital and send it to every
one of the members of organized la
Dor in the United States. Appoint
ment of a committee of three by the
federation to cooperate with the
British trade unions to bring pres
sure to bear on the English govern
ment to recognize Ireland and with
f~a W frnnnS from he fry
also asked.
Mr.. Wing declared that the resolu-
tons we1I drawn by high officials
of the 1rish republic" but declined
to state whether Eamonn De Valera,
president of the Irish republic" had
taken part in their drawing
A large faction of the delegates
have announced opposition to the
official resolutions" and have pre-
scented to the committee a resolution
demanding recognition of the Irish
by the United. States, withdrawal of
British troops from Ireland and re-
payment by England of the $1,000
100000 loaned to her by the United
States. Four other resolutions of
similar character have also been sub
mitted.
The delegates opposing the boycott
resolution declared it would be Diet
rimental to the labor movement and
an affront to the members of the
federation who are connected with
local unions of Canada. Any reso-
luton embodying boycott, they as
sert, will be defeated on the floor
of the convention.
Of the Official resolutions" Irish
sympathizers at the mass meeting
declined to substitute them for ali
other resolutions.

rest of John Henry Williams, a negro

RECTOR HAS A REASON
FOR WANTING TO BE IS

NEW YORK.-Ths Rev. DR.. Per-

to live to be IS,
'Twasn't so a few weeks ago. He
