which last year hurled the Maud into
an ice-bank on the Siberian coast.
The explorer affirmed that his
voyage had tended only to confirm his
previous theories about. magnetic prop
critics Of the Polar basin. He ex-
pressed faith in his belief that an
ocean current running northwesterly
from Cape, Serdze would carry him
past the Pole and eventually into the
Atlantic ocean.
When we reached Nome a year
ago, and started back" he said, "the
trouble was that an unprecedented
Jam Of ice prevented hs from pushing
far enough North. We drifted too
much to the east--and the currents
eastward from Siberia were extraor-
dinary-it is sort Of whirlpool, where
cne wanders around in circles in
stead of following any course"

be plausible"
The party experienced no serious
illness the entire trip. Nor did the
cold cause suffering, the explorer
said, for all were yell equipped. On
the tortu5is voyage from Norway
to Eastern Siberia they encountered
few natives.
1T is desolate shore on the North
of Siberia" he pointed out. I'VE saw
few signs of life, except occasional
polar bears. At one point we shot
forty, skinned them and used the meat
for steaks. If we had been trapping
for skins we could have made
small fortune"

They left Norway in 1918 and remain

THE AMERICAN CREED

1 believe in the United States Of
America as government Of the
people, by the people, for the peo-
pie, whose just powers are derived
from the consent Of the governed;
a democracy in a republic, sover-
eign Nation Of many sovereign
States; a perfect Union, one and
inseparable, established upon those
principles OF freedom, equality, JUS
tice and humanity for which
American patriots sacrificed their
lives and fortunes.
therefore believe IT is my duty
to my country to love it; to sup
port its Constitution; to obey its
laws; to respect its flag: and to
defend 1t against all enemies.

BY RUTH AGNES ABELING

AIKEN. s. eff. suddenly. all
of the purposes which women are
working to accomplish should be-
come existent facts, could they rest
on their oars-go back to the old
life. chiefly social, and could they be
happy?
1T would be impossible" This Is
the attitude of Mrs. Julian B. Salley,
director of the third region OF the
League of Women Voters.
THE old life no longer appeals"
says Mrs. Salley.
And Mrs. Salley, as a girl, knew
social life as only the south knows
it.
She Is the central figure of a love-
ly home and the mother of two
charming children, but, says She:
when Tennessee ratified / felt
that my work was over and hat /
could 60 back to the old mode of life
with a clear conscience, but very
soon after 1 was elected director of
this region and here I am, still in the
harness and l suppose / shall be in
some sort of constructive work as
long as l live and ear be of use-I
find / can better keep up with my
family and be of them then!"
Mrs. Salley's first public work was
the organization of the Aiken County
Equal Suffrage League, the first
league to be organized in South
Carolina. Following that. when the
state organized. she was elected
president of the state league and
held the office two years.
Mrs. Salley is scheduled to be one
of the principal speakers at the sixth
regional conference which will be
held at Fort Worth. Texas, October
% and 20. Mrs. Charles H. Dietrich
of Hastings, Neb., is director of this
region.
Mrs. Maude Wood Park, national
president; Mrs. Richard Edwards of
Peru, Ind, vice president, and Miss
Mary Mcdowell of Chicago, ILL.,,
Women in Industry chairman, will
also be among the speakers.

BEAUTY HINTS

Since you're o town dweller. very
likely the frequent washings you
have to subject your hair to are
dulling its lovely light tints and
soon instead of the dazzling blond
you are, you'll be a sort of half be-
tween.
And, of course, you are the indi-
vidual who must be particularly
careful about the kind of shampoo
you use 1t can't be n with too
drying an effect, for then you'll
have to resort to the vaseline pot
to restore the oil you've washed out
A really pleasant shampoo can be
made of an infusion of bruised
quillia bark. This is a liquid of a
pale rcdish color. soft and frothy.
which can be used instead of the
regular soap solution.
And then there is a trick which
you may steal from the peasant
women of Switzerland. They keep
their heavy braids that wonderful
light tone by using an infusion of
camomile flowers: You can buy
these at any druggists. Put a small
handful in the bottom of the bowl
in which you put the last rinsing
water for your hair and then pour
the water over them. Rub the
water well into the hair, then dry
and brush il.

Paris, which has a way of being
dainty at all times and in all ways.
has evolved the idea of ribbon or
tulle flowers on the combs with
which the debutante ornaments her
sair for evening affairs.
OF course the combs or hairpins
in themselves must be very plain af-
fairs with very small tops. The
flowers are just like the tulle nose
gays you have been making for your
party frocks. They should be care
fully bound on with silk thread.
Still another novel effect is that
of the long unjeweled backed comb
with the flowers held into the de-
sign with silk thread. For instance.
a Jade comb with palest pink chif-
fon roses would be lovely for a
blond. For the girl with very dark
hair and very dark eyes. oriental in
type, a jet comb ornamented with
tiny scarlet roses would be effective.

Wells have become such a tre-

dress. She has a number of them
and she likes to keep them just SO.
It's difficult, too. you know!
And of course that's why she'll
appreciate this veil roll especially
when she smells it's loneliness all
the while that she's riding to the
office.
The veil roll can be made of rib
bon, a long enough piece to extend
the width of her widest veil. Seam
it, fill it roundly with cotton in
which you generously sprinkle

little cords or leave gough of the
