the intensity required to create definite shadows.
Then on March 8, the light rays at last completely
penetrated and overcame the dark Shroud; we saw
our shadows again, long and black upon the snow.
Like Peter Pan the Eskimo does not like being
without his shadow In vague sort of way he feels
that his soul is in that mysterious image, and he is
moved to grief and fear when the Winter night
descends and cuts it off Accordingly, he rejoices
when the sun returns and restores his precious
shadow. So it was that awoke this day to sounds
of glee from my native company and, emerging from
my snow hut saw them cavorting comicaly, yet i'm
pressively, in sort of dance with their shadows.
Even then the thought did not come to me that
such familiar inevitable things shadows could be
of tremendous value to me in locating the tip top
of the earth but the journey progressed the truth
gradually dawned upon me that when reached the
Pole shadows would remain the same length through
out the twenyfour hours of the day. the sun, in its
cycle, would be always the same apparent distance
above the horizon. So it proved when the Pole
reached, as | shall later describe.
To my knowledge, no other explorer had pre-
viously considered this simple and obvious phenom
enon in connection with location of the borea center
My expedition reached Svarteyoeg, the high cape
at the tip of Heiberg Land early in March, and from
this point began the home stretch drive the sea
ice to the Pole, $40 miles distant
From the beginning of the campaign had de-
cided that this last and most difficult stage of the
journey should be attempted by the smallest and
most mobile party possible. Thus at the jumping
off place chose from my Eskimo company just two
as my assistants in the crucial march They were
Etookishook and Ahwelah, youths whom had
known since their infancy, hunters and marchers of
the highest skill and endurance, and as brave and
loyal pair lived, North or South. Their
qualities had been convncingly displayed to me on
the march from Annoatok, and never in the trying
days that were to come did regret my selection of
them.
My white aide Francke, though fine outdoors
and man of fawless character, i did not take
the final dash, because knew no white man
could match the Eskimo adaptabity to this kind of
task. Francke could have been of small help to me-
and might have been serious handicap, not through
any personal deficiency of his but through his in
evitable racial unftness for this terrible task He
returned to Annoatok and remained in charge of my
supplies there until midsummer when he finally left
the Arctic on one of Peary'S ships.

of rough ice, straight for the stem of the world

fail to reach the Pole had left my mind, to be re-

Eleanor in long grandmother's silk

attractive. The "Bustle Girl" by
Eleanor Korsgan, pantomime, was
one of the most amusing things on the
program, Miss Korsgan's fine acting
being roundly applauded. Kate Fallo-

One of the funniest numbers was

The State Board of Taxes and
Assessments has issued strict orders
to local assessors that they will be
held responsible if they fail to assign
full value to property for 1926 taxing
purposes. They declare that property

district compelled taxpayers in other
districts to pay more than their pro-

Though not unexpected, Edward }.
Feickert, president of the State Trust
Company, of Plainfield, N. j., filed a
suit at Reno, New, last week, seeking
an absolute divorce from his wife,
Mrs. Lillian E. Feickert, former Re-
publican state vice chairman of New
Jersey and president of the New Jer-
sey Woman's Republican Club for
many years. In his bill of particu-
lars, Mr.. Feickert charged his wife
with cruelty, adding that as well that
her political activities were largely
responsible for their differences. He
further alleges that since Mrs. Feickert
became interested in woman suffrage
in 1910, she neglected him and her
home and admitted to him on one
occasion that she cared more for the
political atmosphere than for her
home, and further, that after suffrage
was won in New Jersey, she became
more active in politics than ever. The
couple have been married twenty years
and have no children. Mrs. Feickert
has filed a counter suit giving deser-
tion as the grounds for her action.
