COPENHAGEN, April 19.-Cap-
tain Roland Amundson estimates that
his proposed airplane flight over the
North Pole this summer will require
the expenditure of $3.50, 900, accord
ing to The Politikan.
Only six men will participate in the
actual flight in July. About thirty
men will be required to care for various

The Bornier airplane, presented to
Captain Amundsen by Premier Mus

RUSSIAN BEGAN
GREAT GALLERY
From II Has Grown Eng
lands Great Art
Collection

England few days ago celebrated
the centenary of the foundation of the
National Gallery, and England has
more reason to congratulate itself on
the present condition of the collection
than on its original state, 100 years
ago, writes S. X. y. in London let
ter to the Christian Science Monitor.
For the gallery began quite humbly,
in spite of the fact that to Il nation
of such wealth and Importance, an in
sttution of its kind was long overdue.
1t was Just 100 years ago that par
lament voted the funds, namely $1,000
pounds for the purchase of a small
collection which was to form the nu-
cleus of one of the pre-eminent gal
leries in the world. This collection
consisted of IS pictures which belong
ed to John Julius Angerstein, a Rus
sian merchant in London who founded
Lloyd's. In 1898 the collection was
installed in the present building in
Trafalgar Square.
1t has largely been due to private
and parliamentary munificence. as oc-
caSion arose, to purchase works which
make the collection unparalleled
throughout the world. And this in
spite of the fact that England started
very late in comparison with most 9TH
err countries. In 1888 the national pic
lures still numbered only $50, but in
1875 there were 926,. while today thee
are more than $500. exclusive of the
vast collection of water-color drawings
by Turner.
Some Timely Bargains
Angerstein formed his collection
largely under the guidance of Sir Thorn
as Lawrence. One of the most fla
| nous pictures acquired by him is THE
Raising of Lazarus by Sebastiano del
Piombo. painted in Rome in 1517 in
competition with Raphaels "TranSfig-
uration." The low figure of $500
pounds was paid foy The Raising of
Lazarus at the Orleans sale by Mr..
Angerstein.
Hogarth's superb series the Mar
riage a la Mode was also in the coll
lection and it is interesting to note
that they were bought at an auction
instigated by the artist in 175l for 12O
guineas. Angerstein acquired them in
1906 for 1000 guineaS. Claude Lor-
raine's magnificent st. Ursula fine
Rubens, Van Dyck's portrait of Corne-
Illus van der GePst and HOgarth's self
portrait were also in the Angerstein
collection.
The purpose OF. &c sa::ery has al
ways been national in the fullest
sense; that is to say. to provide rep
resentative collection of foreign art for
its native residents. and of British art
for its foreign visitors, and paradox
cal though it. may seem, this policy
has made it veritable International
Gallery"

Greeks In British Isles Join In
+ Tribute
BY PATRICK RUTLEDGE

LONDON, April 19.-Literary Lon
don turned its thought back to Byron
today, the one hundredth anniversary
of his death at Missolonghi in the
cause of Hellenic freedom.
Not only the Britons whose language
he enriched with his prose and poetry,
but also the ABreeks, whose freedom
he strave for, are honoring him in the
United Kingdom. The communities of
Grekes living in the British Isles to-
day laid wreaths on statues Of the poet
in London, Nottingham, Cambridge and
Aberdeen.
The British just now are engrossed
in their long, leisurely Easter vaca-
ton so their public observances of the
centenary will be held later in the
month.

Important Controversial Problems
in Various Sections. The most impor-

Congress will be to investigate CON
troversial questions and fundamental
problems which at the present mo-
ment are engaging the various sec
tons of the Comintern. In this the
chief parties of the Comintern will be-
come closely acquainted with each
other and in this way single Inter
national Communist Party will be
forged. There have been many sharp
discussions and controversial Ques-
tons among our principal parties in
the interval between the Fourth and
Fifth Congresses. Sometimes these
questions have been regarded as a
"crisis in the Comintern." AS a mat
ter Of fact there has never been any
crisis. Communist parties are built
up with tremendous difficulties. One
might say that the most powerful sec

Communist Party-in the course of its
20 years of existence, has been in a
state of one long continual crisis. AS
a matter of fact this "crisis" indicates
the gradual hammering out of a real
steel-like Communist Party. Who
imagines that the building up of the
Communist Party can proceed as cas-
lily as taking drive along the broad
asphalted streets of European city?

at this point; they claim that it

the ball does not stay on the club

Griffs' Real Need.

WE have our own pet idea as
w to what the Griffs need
most. It isn't alright
pitching, though that would help,
but it is AT LEAST ONE BIRD
WHO CAN BRING IN RUNS.
It's pure bunk to point to Rice's
batting average. Sam doesn't
drive in enough runs. For in
stance, Rice finished the 1923
campaign with a batting average
of .316. Goslin hit for an even 800.
But Goslin drove in ninety-nine
runs to seventy-five for Rice.
Gosin ranked sixth in the circuit
when it came to driving in runs,
being surpassed only by Iris
Speaker, Babe Ruth, Harry He'll
mann, Joe Sewell and Wally Pipp.
Speaker hit for $3.50, Ruth 1893,
Heilmann .403, Sewell 1853 and
Plpp for .3O4. Compare Goslin's
800 average with those hand
some batting averages Of the first
four. Then you get some idea
of his worth to the Griffmen.

prove valuable to the Griffs, but
he will hardly bring any pennants
here all by himself.
The Griffs need more than a

more cylinders.
