LONDON, Feb. 12.-An expedition of scientists is leaving London in the summer to navigate parts of the Pa cific hitherto summed and explore remote islands. An attempt will be made to trace the track of the recent earthquake that did the huge damage on the Chilean coast.
 The voyage is being organized by the Scientific Expedition and Re- search Society, and schooner of two thousand tons, with an auxiliary oil engine, is being fitted out for the cruise, which is expected to ex- tend over ten months. The number of scientists will be limited to fifty and will include some women.
 An airplane probably will be car ried with the expedition, to enable them to get aerial observations and photographs.
 Visits to the Canary Islands, Pan anna, and Easter Island are among the schedule.

 PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 12. - Mod ernist art-splashes of purples, greens and pinks-in the staid old Quaker City? Horrors. say the spirits of the founders.
 Yet Philadelphia bids fair to be- come the radical center for artists as the result of $6000,000 fund es tablished by Dr. Albert c. Barnes for the erection of a museum on his estate at Merton, suburb, to house his $3,0O0O00 collection of the work of modern painters
 Although the interior of the mu- scum may be a Kaleidoscope of hues the exterior at least will conform to established standards, for Paul P. Cret, distinguished architect, has been ordered to draw the plans.
 In announcing the fund, Dr. Barnes said Primarily the hope is that every person of every station in life will be allowed to get his own reaction to whatever the foundation has to offer. That means that aca- demism-confOrmity to Wornout tra dtions, commercials in art living and thinking-can have no place in the intended scope of the museum"
 The powers that control the des- tinies of Philadelphia Zoo recently showed their opinion of the success of prohibition by opening a snake house double the size of the old one.
 Singing of well-knOwn songs in Latin has become one of the forms of mild dissipation indulged in hy the Classical League of this city. The poor "Old Gray Mare" has been resurrected and hurled back two thousand years into the following Roman ditty:
 70 equa glauca non est Qualis erat
 Non est qualis erat,
 Non est qualis erat! 10 equa glauca non est qualis crat,
 Multis ante annis!" A policeman on the street, hearing the sound, paused, consulted his rule book and, with sigh, returned to his beat There are some of them you cant arrest.
 "Fanchon," a diminutive French doll of the period of the Empire of i Napoleon the Third, has just become one of the treasured possessions of | Pennsylvania Museum.

 pack on her back, and a crochet hook and a ball of thread in her trousers pocket, Mrs. Pearl Shough has wrest- ed from Alaska the reputation of being one of the best mushers on southeastern trails.
 So does the way of the woman sur vive even in wildernesses where white men are not seen for months at a time and Indians seldom penetrate. In Alaska she is known from the Portland Canal to Cooks Inlet as one of the best men in the hills. Her hus- band, Harry c. Shough, prospector, says proudly, She's better man than am' He plainly wasn't thinking of Gunga Din when he said it either. He was thinking of his "pard." Pearl Shough, who Handles the powder" when they drive tunnel because her nerve is steadier than his.
 Od-Time Pospectors
 The two have been prospecting to- gether between the British Columbia line and Willow Creek since 1909. For months, during that time they have heard no voices but their own. There are stories of mining partners who finish fights, gouged on by the fiend- ish monotony of one another's com- pany. But these two dismiss the phe- nomenon of MT. and Mrs. existence in the wilderness with an unwonder- ing.
 "Yes, I guess we're happily married all right We ain't grown sick of it yet"
 The two have made home wherever they made camp. Sometimes it was a little cabin where they holed in for the winter to do construction work on a claim covered many feet deep with snow. One of the cabins, they tell about overlooked Cooks Inlet. For months they saw no human being and the sound of a boat passing on the water far below would bring them to the window in the middle of the night just to look at this proof that life was still going on in the outside world. In summer they usauuly pros pect in the glacier country higher up. So they sometimes do not see green grass and brown earth for the year round.
 Driven Seventy Tunnels
 The two have driven seventy tun- nels together. Because the powder makes Harry Shough nervous the wife does all that part of it.
 "All it needs is good nerve,' is her way of dismissing it. When they are prospecting in new country twelve miles and a thirty-five pound pack IS average for this woman. She is flVe feet five inches tall and weighs 1l0 pounds "on the trail"
 "She's a greyhound" says the nus band admiringly. "You ought to see her go. She's left many first class musher behind on the trail. I'm kind of delicate myself since l had the tlu in 191S." Although he spoke Of hls delicate health in all seriousness he IS ,, still able to mush thirty to forty miles day by trail and carry an eighty pound pack
 MT. and Mrs. Shough are guests at the Hotel Seward. They arrived here Sunday on business connected with their mining claims. Green grass certainly does look good to me-" the husband said exub- erantly.
 Mrs. Shough pointed to a roll of crocheting lying on the table. It is the same work she carried in her hip where bears are as common as dogs pocket through miles of wilderness on a city's streets.

Voice of the Nations Press

reminded of the lines of an old poem
which asked: Will they do il, dare they
do it? The suggested answer is they
won't and they don't" In the opinion
of the Milwaukee Sentinel there is no
excuse for Congressman voting for law
which outruns their own private Drac-
tice. Furthermore. is there any excuse
for half-hearted enforcement on the
ground that a drastic dry cleanup
would raise so much opposition that the
present law would be swept off the
statute books and replaced by a modi-
fled enactment? To face the matter
squarely it is freely charged that prohi-
bitionists are afraid of too strict en-.
forcement, fearing a popular revulsion
of feeling" But the movement TO make
Congress dry is good one" the
Charleston Mail argues. Congress
makes our laws and it is traversty on
democratic principles for a body that
makes our laws to violate them. ObServ-
ance of the law is the foundation princi-
pie Of a democracy. 1t cannot be ig-
nored with impunity. and at the same
time this fact should be n standing
warning to be sure about the laws we
make before we make them"
