United States of America.-No

anthracite controversy.
The aviators of the Macmillan ex-
pedition had proposed to establish an
intermediate aviation base approx
imately midway between Etah, the
expeditions naval base, and the con-
templated advance aviation base at
Cape Thomas Hubbard, Axel Heiberg
Island, but could not find a suitable
site. They did, however, establish a
base Qanding supplies) on Sawyer

base on Flagler Fjord. about the
same distance from Etah, but some

about half way between the bases

which had SO sadly delayed the

Is days since the Bowdoin' and the
Peary had dropped anchor off Etah.
They must hoist anchor by Septem-
ber at latest for the homeward
journey TO avoid being ice-locked.
One of the three planes had been
badly injured by heavy seas while
at anchor and was not yet in COM
mission again. Two Liberty motors
had gone bad and no spare motors
were left. Advised by radio of these
circumstances, recognizing that there
remained scarcely an outside sport

thence exploring by overwhelming
loops the 'unexplored region" be-
tween the Pole and Alaska, and
knowing that sportsmanship would
forbid such a proposal from Etah,
Secretary Wilbur radioed Etah,

beaten. not by any lack of prepara-

by the unkind elements. Comdr

Yes"
The effort has not been wasted
only for the knowledge gained of the
magnificent topography of Ellesmere

time than it had counted on for its
secondary objects of the return voy-
age. The planes will explore the in
terror of Baff1n Island. a region of
great lakes teeming with life of fur

Berlin Is Puzzled
By Rival ''Princes'

Berlin is bothered. How can one
tell the true from the false crown
prince of Kurdistan? For both are
here. One is in the hands of the pom
lice. He wears a strange military.
uniform. The epaulettes are those Of
a Turkish general, the stripes on the
arms those of a major. the red border
that of a captain. The arrested man
is glib. He offers to produce a film,
THE Crown Prince of Kurdistan," in~
which to show the world how the
lords of Kurdistan trace their an
cestry direct to Abraham. But though
he declares he was a Turkish general
in the World War, he cannot remem-
Der the name of any German officer.
The other crown prince is genuine
perhaps. The two met recently and
the second questioned the first, who
had only vague notions as to the.
geography, language and customs Of
his country. 1t is possible the chari-
table Berlin authorities will lock him
up until his memory improves.

Portrait of Charles | s..
May Be by Van Dyck

Some time ago a citizen OF Oslo.
Norway, purchased an old and rather,
large painting representing a cheva-
lier with lace cravat, a tuft beard on
his chin and waved hair. Examina:e-
ton by experts has established thatp,
the painting represents King Charles.
I. of England when about 35 years 2
old. In order to determine whether,
the portrait was a copy photographs,
of 1t have been forwarded to an gal.
leries known to possess original por
traits of Charles Windsor castle
Hampton Court, the Louvre. Antwerp.
Brussels and the Muse Nacional del
Prado in Madrid. Replies from those
places are to the effect that the Oslo
portrait was not copied from any,
known portrait of King Charles. The
suggestion has been put forward that
the painting is a Van Dyck. AM
thonis Van Dyck was court painter :
to King Charles in 1862. During the
nine years from 1852 to 1861 he.
painted no fewer than IT portraits OF
the King and the royal family. sr

Wilhelmina Listed
AS 'sModest Dresser

Queen Wilhelmina is strongly op-
posed to extravagant modern fashions
for women and, like the Pope in the
vatican, she does not tolerate frivo-
lous attire in her palace. The ladies of
the diplomatic corps graciously con-
form to this royal wish and scrupu-
lously avoid exaggeration in dressing.
The simplicity of Queen Wilhelmina
does not, however, mean that she has
a dislike of all modern fashions. She
submits quite willingly to some of
fashions DEGREES, but she has a strong
antipathy to low neck. sleeveless
and too-abbreviated frocks. She sets
a splendid example of the simply but
stylishly dressed lady, and her ideas
about woman's apparel have been ac.
cepted by Dutch society.

Little Tobacco Group
Grows Into Big Firm

In 1919 in the small village of Stani-
maka, Bulgaria, schoolmaster and
33 peasants founded a cooperative
tobacco company. The capital was
only few hundred dollars and the
production at first sufficient only to
satisfy the needs of the local popula-
ton. Today this cooperative employs
1900 workmen, and 5000 peasant
families cultivate for it tobacco which
is manipulated, made into cigarettes
and exported.
Twothirds of the profits remain in
the hands of the co-operators and one
third, is held in reserve.

be interesting. The chiefs, assem-
bled around the white mans ban
quet table-in lieu of a council
fire-add a touch of the pictures
que, at least. Whether they will
add anything elst depends on
whether forest lore and knowledge,
an inherent love of forests, really
are inbred and transmitted, from
one-time tribal redmen to their few
remaining chiefs.
More vital to the out-of-doors
and to the Walton league is an
other form or membership, agreed
to by resolution in Chicago. 1t is
the admission of white women
members to the Waltonian tribe
That membership may be counted
on to make up, in intuitive under
standing and fervor, any lack OF
inherent forest lore that redmen
may have.
If Wisconsin women learn, from
Waltonians, how Wisconsin is being
desolated; if they ever grasp what
is being done to their own and tc
their children's out-of-doors, by
legislators and officials and care.
less populace generally, they are
likely to provide such a war dance
as no group of Indian chiefs evel
will give Wisconsin. The demand
for conservation that an aroused
womanhood will sound is likely tt
fade any chieftain's war whoop tt
a feeble whisper.
The Waltonians have done some
thing picturesque when they in.
vited the Indian chiefs; they have
done something practical when they
invited the women of the nation tt
join with them against desecrateC
out-of-doors.

sive reading from the new hymn
nal, in which were blended portions
of the Fifty-third chapter of Isaiah

he said of Jesus and the dread con
queror, Death, 1T was not possible
he should be holden of it," Mr..
Skldmore argued vigorously for
the contention that so great a Per-

be mastered and blotted out by
death. This, he held, was the mob
lest argument for Immortality that
has yet been advanced.
