 The pressure of decision in such an Fevent would really depend upon the military and economic outlook.
 There are lovely islands on the Pac- fife today that no one claim simply
 because they couldn't harbor bat
 tleship, land plane. or pay divi- |dends on any commercial invest-
 ment.
 On the other hand a deposit of
 32 100000 tons of coal was recent
 ly discovered in Saskatchewan and oil is now flowing within a stones
 throw of the Arctic Circle. So the Fuew-found polar continent may prove a rich bone to squabble over. after all.
 Summing up: The ZR-ls trans- polar flight is daring but not fool hardy. It is expensive but not ex- travagant. It covers a desert of ice. but one which, like other deserts, may contain an oasis The Nays investment can pay no dividends; yet it's exploration may lead to enor- nous National profit both in dollars and in security. The flight may be
 called a stunt, and propaganda, and waste of Government money meant 1 for things nearer home. Yet spec { tacular means are sometimes re- quired to rouse us from our daily | ltthargy And nothing is waste of money that bids sincerely and with reasonable chance of success for our country's security. prosperity and prestige.

."ace-loyinG Eskimo could not E. sibly have attacked the Norsemen. | Eskimos have neither organization nor weapons; and they are consti- Itutionally opposed to any sort Of com bativeness. The white men did not sail away in ships. for they had Inc ships. nor lumber to make them lof. Disease was not the cause or
 their disappearance, for germs dc not flourish in that climate. Native tradition describes the Nor wegians emigrating in a body to- twards the north. Moreover. the Eskimos claim that land of mod crate climate and game aplenty lies that way
 Whence we may arrive at the fas- cinating conclusion that there may be ip the midst Of the polar sea a hitherto undiscovered land to which the lost Norsemen wandered; and that the ZR-1 or Captain Amundsen may find their survivors there alive today:
 The theory sounds far-fetched enough. But it is interesting to D ote how far science and known facts 1 support it.
 { For instance. Dr. Harris. the tidal iexpert, ayers that his study of Arctic currents has led him to the incontr"- vertible conclusion that there must be a large mass of land in the polar sea somewhere to the Northeast Of Alaska. Peary declared that he saw land in this vicinity. Whalers cruis- ing north of Barrow in open season 1 have made similar reports. ! Regarding relative warmth of climate we are compelled 10 strain 1 our imaginations considerably. It can be pointed out that the center or the unexplored area lies in the sies- mic axis Of Japan and the Aleutians. And that Iceland. on the opposite sh builder of the globe. is one of the | earth; that an engineering project to heat the whole of Iceland by har- lressing its natural sources of heat has made considera ble progress; that wild orchids protected by nat tural springs bloom out of doors in the dead of Arctic winter at Disco, iY, a that a territory heated by subterran- can fires is a conceivable phenom- lemon even in the center of the polar sea.
 But ii is by no means necessary
 to go so far in order to justify the
 Navy in sending out the ZRl
 The chances of land are very sub
 stantial. That it is inhabited is a lgood deal more remotely possible,
 though Stefansson found isolated
 Eskimos in the Coronation Gulf re-
 zion that had never even heard of a white man.
 The real point is that such land
 even if little more than a rocky. ice
 girt mass in the middle of the polar lpack would inevitably control the polar air route.
 Alaska is not more strategically situated than Iceland or SpitZbergen on the European side, or Northeast Siberia on the Asatic side. We may look for its profiting in the early years of Arctic aviation mostly be- cause we are in position to sustain it economically. But from an ulti- mate military point of view Alaska is not wholly what we want in that region.

Ara cvca after the proving there has to be some sort of bomb to provide the final jolt.
 There is the case of the now fam ous Long Beach oil fields near Los Angeles; one of the richest oil domes
 the world has known right in the center of a city. The first wildcat
 well came in in 1921. But not until a neighboring well exploded and shot a gas flame two hundred feet into
 the air for five days with a roar that could be heard for ten miles did cap- i,al really provide enough money to develop the field.
 It is that way with the polar air route. Five months of perfect wes- ,her. Sun doesp't ever set. Helium making dirigibles absolutely fool proof. Enormous loads easily car- ried. Freight rates bound 10 be small. Development of similar routes s,l over the United Ststes. But no money to put the scheme through simply because nature has ino, the means she had at Long Beach 10 jolt funds loose from those who have them. Hence the justice of our Navy's initiative.
 One aspect of the flight is really thrilling. even while far-fetched. Amundsen's activity has drawn con- siderable attention to Norway's !n- I,.rest in the unexplored area of the polar sea. This area Is over 1.ooo.- 900 square miles in extent. the larg- est unknown space on the globe. During September. 1923. Norway reminded Denmark that the Vikings discovered Greenland in 9S5 A. D. Morse colonists followed later and by the end of the fourteenth century
 had built up large and wealthy viii lages with inhabitants to the num- ber of 10000. Thus, despite the
 fac, that although Denmark sold the { Virgin Islands to us in 1916 and put 1 ill the bargain that we must relin- qnish all claim to Peary's and kane's 1 explorations. her title to her Green- Hand settlements still seems by no means clear.

With the taxes soaring and our nerves little on edge from wars aftarmath, it is not surprising that the NAvy's proposed transpolsr flight with it's huge new dirigible. the Shenandoah, next summer has stirred up adverse criticism.
 But there Is more common sense in the scheme than meets the un- aided eye.
 Assume that the Navy spends $25.- eeo:00o to build and send . pioneer dirigible across the polar sea. That is really more than 1t cost: but we can afford to be generous on paper. Also, several attempts may have to be made before success will be at tained.

New Dance, "Huppa-H uppa, Takes Paris by Storm
BY MILTON BRONNER

Paris, April 24.-Paris has got the
Huppa- Huppa,
1t is spreading over France. The
whole continent is threatened with it.
Hnppa-Huppa isn't a whooping
cough. It's dance.
1t has made such hit that l have
come here especially TO see it, hear its
tantalizing music study the steps and
introduce il to America. BY special
arrangement with the composers and
publishers of the Huppa-Huppa, The
Light is first to acquaint its readers
with the music and the dance.
1t all began when Juan Hens visit
ed his friend, Rene de Buxeuil, in his
Montmartre flat.
Blind Composer.
Buxeuil is one Of the unique char
acters in Paris. AS boy he was
wounded when hunting and came
home totally blind. He attended one
the famous French schools for the
education Of blinded boys, devoted
himself especially to music, settled in
a Paris attic and began a long and
successful career of song writing.
He is a popular attraction at music
halls where he sits at piano. plays
his own music and sings his own
songs.
Somewhere Hens, who writes WORDS
for songs, had picked up few bars
of a haunting air. He was told it
came from little semi-tropical island
off the coast of Chile.
Il have one grand idea for song"
said Hens to his friend. "The refrain
will tell how all day long the natives
dance under the banana trees"
And he hummed what he remem-
bered.
His 2OOOth Composition.
Almost on the instant Buxeuil sat
down at the piano, embroidered the
theme, played it over again, developed
it little more and, tuning his sight
less eyes to Hens, said:
There you are-Huppa-H uppa."
So a new Montmartre chanson was
born. 1t marks number 1000 in the
compositions of the blind musician
who so often has set Paris a-hum-
ming.
Lucien Piau, dancing master, took
the music and worked out the dance.
Here is the music and the dance it.

Mexicans Rejoice at Death of
General Cauazos, Pupil of Villa

and revolutionary experience dating
back 10 1910, failed to relieve him
from the impossible position in which
he found himself when the troops I'M
der command of General Rios Zef-
tuche closed on the remnants of his
forces. The body of General Cavazos
is now in Pachuca on exhibition where
he was feared by each inhabitant of
that city who recall his exploits as
those of the second Pancho Villa.
Following Cavazos' rapid entry into
and exit from Pachuea OH April 10,
he withdrew to point known as the
Hacienda of Posuelos where Zertuche
attacked him at . o'clocks April u.
After two hours of fighting Cavazos
broke through the federal lines and en-
trenched himself at point called
Pueblo NuevO near Ixmiquilpam.
There the battle was continued, the
federals hurting lead into the rebel
entertainments which resulted in Ca.
vazos' death and the complete rout OF
his men.

to the State of HidalgO.
While the government was paying
its attention TO the rebel armies or
ganized by Guadalupe Sanchez and
Fortunate Maycotte. on the Vera Cruz
or eastern front. and Enrique Estrada
on the Guadalajara or western front,
CavazoS took advantage of the oppor-
tunlty thus Offered TO organize a band
which later swelled to more than 5000
men. His first exploit worthy of note
was the capture of the mining town of
Pachuca. However. he held the city
only one day when he was driven out
by the reorganized defenders. This
battle. while on a small scale, was
one OF the bloodiest incidents of the
revolution.

Cavazos was Mexican whose as
tuteness and strategic ability in hand

ed TO Francisco Javier Nina. the
Spanish Lafayette" who came 70
Mexico from London, with arms and
ammunition to fight for Mexico's in

most romantic figure in the reyoIu-
tionary history of the renublic. Ca
vazos was not unlike Pancho Villa. es-
pecially in the rapidity of his move
ments. 1t was nothing for him and
his men TO make J0-mile Journey on
horseback in one day. The result has
been that when federal forces we're

cakes. both small and large, set off by
basket. after basket of flowers, were
visible in the window.
With the baking department of the
establishment located in the rear of
the shop, it will be possible to provide
hot bread for every meal, according to
Mr.. Riegler.
A double deck oven OF white porce-
lain, white mixing machines and white
proof boxes constitute part of the
equipment in the rear of the store,
while the most modern of showcases
lend a beautiful touch to the front.
Mr.. Riegler has been identified with
the baking and confectionery industry
in San Antonio for many years and
his new store is the result of carefully
laid plans. 1t is Mr.. Riegler's inten-
ton to inaugurate n series of such
stores where hot breads, French pas

sold.
A large crowd was present on the
opening day when samples in dust
proof packages were distributed.
While quality will be the predomi-
mating feature of the goods sold.
beauty also will play an important
part in the store, the best of electrical

Here are the dancing steps of the
Huppa-Huppa, the dance that is
spreading rapidly through Europe and
is now being introduced in America.
The new dance consists of six main
figures or movements, which are con

movements for leader and partner fol-

basic figure of the dance. Leader
