Amundsen 70 Nuke Daring Voyage To
 Top 0f World Bent 0n Discoveries

he is really anxious to reach the Pole.
 Amundsen, discoverer of the South Pole, is no stranger to the Far North. He spent over a year in the vicinity of the magnetic North Pole. He. according to Hamm mer.was the first man to negotiate the North west Passage. a voyage of discovery which has fired the mind of man since American was discovered, but which never was even partially suc- cessful until Amundsen succeeded.
 Early in June the Maud will sail from Seattle, with ten men aboard Captain Oscar Visiting, personal friend of the explorer, will take com nand. Captain Visiting has been with Amundsen on many journeys Amundsen, of course, will be in su- preme command. pr. H. U. Sver- drup, eminent scientist. and a repre- sentative of the Norwegian govern ment, will be aboard. The other seven men will not only be sailors, tried in dangerous seas. but scien- lists with the spirit of exploration as well. It must. indeed, be hardy sailor who will ship on the Maud for a voyage of five years, perhaps into eternity
 Maud viii Head North
 The Maud will head north to the Arctic. Where the broken shores of the eternal ice-pack wage an unend- ing battle with the scarcely warme CT waters of the Arctic seas. the Maud will nose in, find a safe place, if possible, among the great chunks which mark the outer edge of the solid pack, and there wait to be car ried lover the top.''
 When the ship has entered the pack, the propeller will be lifted. The ship has been especially designed to permit this, so that, once on the other side, the journey to a port may be made under power if necessary.
 If the ice-pack, as vast as conti- nent. is carried by a current, as Amundsen believes, it is possible that the ship will safely drift across the Polar Basin, over the top of the world from the Pacific to the Allan tic. No one can tell where the Maud if she ''goes over the top" will emerge from the ice-pack. Perhaps this is Hammers guess--over at Siberia or Russia.
 Airp1anes to Cross Pole
 Should the ice-pack carry the Maud within flying distance of the North Pole the two airp1anes will make a little side trip to the Pole.
 No one knows how long such 8 journey will take. Amundsen be- 1feves that it takes the ice-pack from three to five years to cross the Polar Basin from the Pac<ffc to the Allan tic.
 All the men who go on this jour ney know that there is the possibility that they may never return. But, Hammer says. there will be no trou- ble getting a crew. To many, in- deed, want to go.
 Amundsen is 50 years old. Since boyhood he has, been engaged in ex- plorattons. He cannes from hardy Norwegian stock. but, according to Hammer, his imm ediate ancest ors were not explorers.

ocean current which goes over the top Of the world. Ships wrecked iD the North Pacific ocean have been found on the other side of the world, in the Atlantic ocean. This has led to the belief that the whole ice-pa.ck floats in this current and that a ship stuck in the ice will be carried over the top of the world and out of the ice on the other side.'' Anuundsen believes that he can go over the top of the world by getting into the ice jam and drifting with the current.
 His little ship the Maud, built es- pecial1y for him in Norway. is near ing readiness for the trip. Great quantities of hard bread are aboard and, strangely enough, some of the bread he took with him to the South Pole. This bread must be moistened and softened before it can be eaten. Thousands of cans of meat, hun dreds of cans of fruits, jams, jellies, candles, four-enough to->last seven years-are aboard the Maud.
 Scientific instruments, which will help him determine new air currents and new lands. are being installed. Two airpIanes from England are be- ing made ready.
 May Take Five Years
 Anundsen says that the trip will take from three to five years. AL though the object of his voyage may carry him far from the North Pole

T am desirous of changing my vocation for several good reasons Can you suggest anything I can turn to besides selling. millinery, or some thing of that kind2 I would very much prefer to do something Of my own, and have a little money to in- vest. If anything you suggest neces- sitates a few months study I would gladly do this. I am 25 and have been in the commercial world for the last seven years.

 How many of us look around the Held Of our own endeayor and long to get out into new pasturesi How many of us feel a discontent which may be divine and which may be the mere restlessness of todayi
 But a vague yearning for some thing else is not a start toward that unknown, undefined ''somethings There's an old saying which goes like this:
 Where you are not. there the pastures are greenest."
 To many of us fancy that we'd like anything else better than the work we are doing. And sometimes the only quality back of the idea is the eternal longing for quick head line success. But nobody earns an easy living Remember that.
 Now. I'm not for one moment dis, couraging ambition. I believe that the force which has advanced the world in Ball its branches of educa- tion and discovery and invention is allied to the restlessneSs of ambition. But that force has to have vision and a sense of direction.
 Merely to long to do something different from what you are doing today is not enough. There must be a definite. constructive study of your own ailitieS. talents and poten- uahties. There must be imagina- iuon to take in the needs Of the world about you and to measure your own equipment to meet one of those needs.
 To walk out of a world fn which you have made a successful begin ming menely because you fancy that you have not found your career may be suicidal Perhaps you aren't ad- vancing as fast as you think you should Perhaps theref are folks in your office who annoy you.

 Dinner at a cafeteria and an eve ming at the movies filled in the hours until it was safe to reckon that Pat and Virginia would be homeward bound from Car1otta,s. Even in my loneliest g1rlhood days 1 had never permitted myself to be driven to go- ing out alone in search of an eve ning'S amusement. A book and the quiet of my own room had been my lea of a solitary evenings entertain ment
 So I came home Seeling pretty deS- olate. But the tray of sandwiches and fruit lemonade I found in my little sitting room made me see hadn't been forgotten And I got further cheer and courage from the prompt appearance of CaH'lotta, look ing very sweet and girlish with her copper-red hair hanging like a. flame against her white crepe de chine neg ligee. We chatted for a, while ot trff1es- Then I brought out the ques- tion which was bothea1fry me almost as much as Dad Lees strange disap- pearance.
 Did you tell Virginia and Pat that I'd come here to live?'' I asked.
 'I told them" replied Carlotta, feeling her way slowly and speak ing with none of the vivid energy which had once been so character istic of her. And I can't say il seemed to make much of a hit with Virginia. was glad for vour sake that I could tell her we'd worked this out on a sound financial basis like two men keeping bachelor ha9l together
 That's a clever way of putting it," I replied. You're a splendid sort!''
 CarIotta smiled wanly- Then after a moment or two of thoughtful si- fence she cried explosively:
 'If I didn't have you to think about I'd be in a bad way. I'd think about myself and that won't do 8 bit of good. Gee, I'm a pig! But when l think of Jim's coming back and taking you away from me I get cold prickles up and down my spine. That's what g. splendid sort I am. Oh, by the way, Anne. woman tel ephoned about dinneT-fime and beg ged to speak to you. She was so in tent that she couldn't make up her mind to believe you weren't at home. She kept saying they'd told her at the hotel where you used to live that she could get. you here"
 Did she leave a name?" asked idly
 ~ es-she said to tell you Bertha wanted you. but not to phone the house and speak to Hedwig until she's seen you. Can you make head or tail of that?''
 Not entirely. But part of it's clear enough. Bertha is ex-maid of mine, and so is Hedwig. yirginia's been employing them both at Dream wo1d. They get on badly, so per haps they've quarre1ed and Bertha may be anxious to reach me and en- list me on, her side. Dear mel hope it isn't that I unused, painfully conscious of all the indications there were to my quarrel with Vir- ginia.
 Suddenly I became aware that CarIotta was studying me with in tent eyes. Whether. there was pity in her gaze or only kindly sympa- thy I couldn't determine. But after a moment two of silence she teaned forward and asked:
 "One more sip of the fruit lemon ade. It's sort of refreshing and hracing, always think-don't you ?"
