much as anything he said. From the air we shall be able to tell wheth- CT there is a continent of some mil lion square miles up there. Some say there is.
 ''In Greenland Eskimos tell tales of a colony of settlers who took many reindeer and started northward, al ways farther northward. They never have been found, and it is not known whether they perished on the expedi- ton or still live on this undiscovered, ice-bound continent. To look for this lost tribe would be one object of such a trip as that we are planning.
 Mr. Hammer believes it will be en- tirely possible to sail from the north ern part of Norway across the polar region to the northern part of Japan, or right to Tokio, for it is proved the flight is practical. This, he believes, will be done eventually. The distance he estimates at 2,000 miles.
 "The flight, Mir. Hammer said, twill not be impossible on account of the cold. The temperature in the Summer is often around 40 degrees. We found it at that both at sea level and at an altitude of 800 feet. True, the attempt could only be possible in the Summer, because it is always night there in the Winter. Later on

The value to the world or con- tinent near the North Pole, says MT. Hammer, is primarily as flying base It is doubtful, he remarked, that such place would prove prof itable as crop-producing area, for example, even were it possible to raise wheat or other grain there, with it's twenty-four hour day of constant sunlight.
 Even if it could be raised" he said, the transportation costs would be too great to make it possible to export grain under present conditions. Coal might be found; but then this, too, would be of little value. Even gold, or other precious metals, would scarcely be exported unless it were by air."
 Mr. Hammer has been associated for years with Captain Amundsen. He said they had already spent more than s400,000 on the attempt to fly across the Pole, or the polar regions, and that the effort is still alive.
 MT. Hammer hopes to find out whether the reports of others regard ing the polar regions are true. To this end a vessel-the Maud-was sent into the Arctic circle two years ago to freeze into the ice and float through with it from side of the Pole to the other. Instead of going right across, however, the ship intends go- ing into circuitous route, indicating it is believed, that something more than ice obstructs the flow This ship somewhere in the ice-bound recesses of the land beyond the Arctic Circle or the region, for it may not be land-has seven occupants who have yet to live from four to six years in that vast solitude before they will see civilization again.
 The ship was built especially for the test, and the cargo consists of food enough to last the eight years of the journey. Much is expected to be added to mans knowledge of the pol ar north when the expedition comes out"
 This region, MT. Hammer said, is the last part of the world which is unkonwn. we wish to explore it and make it known to the world as

even Winter flight might be attempt ed, for the airplane is developing, and we are yet on the threshold of airplane navigation.
 "An air service between Japan, or Asia, proper, and Europe would be in- valuable, not only for commerce and mail purposes, but also for air bases in time of international conflict. Somebody is going to find the route sooner or later. It may be that we will find nothing there but ice. We cannot tell now, but we hope to find out"

Several Thousand Song Lovers
Here Last Sunday. Awtrey is

The cool threatening weather Sun
day cut the crowd somewhat short
for the annual all day singing of the

of the weather conditions several
thousand people were here and the
usual good time and good singing
was enjoyed throughout the day.
The court house was packed every
minute of the day and the singing
was well up to the standard of the
famous Sacred Harp Association.
Mr.. Bernard Awtrey was elected

scope of the day. At first the day

man and child in North Georgia"
This addition of territory should
bring many additional people to Ma

Plans have been perfected to make
this day even more memorial than
the two previous ones. The regular

LOCAL MEN SIGN
CONTRACT RETURN
ING CHAUTAUOUA
Marietta People Pleased With
Programs Presented Here
This Season

Thirty-three Marietta business men
have guaranteed the return of the
Red Path Chautauqua here next sea
son by signing the contract to meet
the 81 ,250 guarantee required by the
company. Of this amount practical
ly $1,000 worth of season tickets have
already been pledged by the people
of Marietta.
The chautauqua this year was such
a success that the people of the town
practically demanded its return next
season. The time of showing will be
i've weeks later next year than it was
this year. This will make it appear
here either the latter part of May
or the first of June. This will help
matters very much.
The Business Girls sponsored the
appearance of the chautauqua here
this year and made a huge success
OF the undertaking. These energetic
young women deserve much credit
for bringing such a worth while at
traction to Marietta. The talent
seen by the local people this year was
among the best the Redpath people
have on any Of their circuits.
1t is understood that the Marietta
Chapter Order of DeMolay will I'M
dertake to sell the tickets this year.
This has not been definitely decided
upon. Miss Lillian Boatner has been
put in charge of this important part
of the work so no matter who takes
the job of selling the tickets it is
sure to be a success with Miss Boat
ner at the head.

ment to James Petty, Jr.

The official charter from the Grand
Council Order of DeMolay was pre-
sented to the Marietta Chapter of the

Deputy Forrest Adair.
The charter was presented by first
Past Master Councillor William Tur-
ner, of the Atlanta chapter to first
Past Master Councillor James Petty,
Jr., of the local chapter. In present
ing the charter Turner told of the
benefits derived from being a mem
Der of the order and what it stood
for. He gave brief outline of the
history of the order. The progress
of the Marietta chapter since it's in
stallation six months ago, was told
by Petty in accepting the charter for
his chapter He told how in this
short time the membership had prac-
tically doubled, growing from %
charter members to 43 members at
present with several applications out
standing.
Besides bringing the charter to the
local chapter the Atlanta boys
brought some good news through
Ben Padgett, Jr., chairman of the en-
tertainment committee of the Allan
ia Chapter. Padgett issued an inyi-
tation to all the members of the local
chapter to be the guests of the At
lanta brothers at their annual dance
on May 16, at the East Lake Club.
The chapter was asked to sell 5000

Paving of Park
Completed; City
Beauti6ed Much

The paving of the walks in the city
park has been completed as has the
moving and remodeling of the band
stand. However, it is the intention
of those in charge to repaint the
bandstand soon. The old benches are
being repaired and the new one will
be placed in just as soon as possible.
The definite position of the Ameri-
can Legion monument has not been
decided upon. A definite decision
upon this subject will probably not
be made until the landscape gardener
from Atlanta expresses his views.
Two locations are being considered.
One in the very center of the park
where the fountain formerly stood
and the other in the southwest Sec
ton.
If the first position is not selected
flower bed will be planted in the
center. In either case it will i'm
prove the looks of the park greatly.
