an insurance policy which becomes
effective when an officer or enlisted
man enters either a heavier or lighter
than air machine, and which is pro-
vided to care for the dependents of
service flyers. This automatic acci-
dent policy is in the amount of $40. 900
for all commissioned and enlisted per-
sonuel of the Army or Navy, who en-
sage III actual flying duties, either as a
pilot or observer, under competent
orders. In the event that the air
men are totally disabled in an acct
dent, the suggestion has been made
that the insurance should be made to
care for them.
The subject of flying pay is being
widely discussed throughout both the
War and Navy Departments, and from
all points of view. 1t is insisted in
certain quarters that with the new
aviation policy making all officers
fliers, the cost of providing flying pay
for the military and naval establish
ments would be prohibitiVe. 1t is also
pointed out by this group that with
the expansion of the Air Service in
both the Army and Navy. there is no
need for providing extra pay for fly
ing duty.
On the other hand. officers who are
now detailed in both air forces, de.
clare that taking instruction and max
ing a limited number of flights, which
will be authorized under the new poll
cies, differs greatly from an officer
being regularly detailed to the Air
Service. Those officers taking the linn
tied course, it is admitted by this
group of officers, would not really be
entitled to extra flying pay The en-
tire subject is being discussed from all
points of view in both the War and
Navy Departments. and all officers Of
both services are evincing great in
terest in the subject.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON, June l2.-Conservative
English people are adopting Alerican
ideas and habits to a greater extent
than the average Englishman cares
openly to admit The most recent
case, of King George wearing big
tortoise-shell glasses, has been followed
by several English hostesses in fash
ionable London, following the example
of a prominent American who enter
tanned 60 couples to dinner at small
tables, while a cabaret entertainment
of the most expensive and up-to-date
nature went on.
Evening parties with music are now
comparatively rare events, and, al
though some of the more important
of London's hostesses are trying tc
introduce them, the American ides
of a cabaret dinner is likely to out
strip them and people generally wei
come the novelty.
AS some of the society chronicles
say, what would London do withou
it's American hostesses in these days?
Evening star., 1925-07-05

the story is wholly one of transmitted
traits or whether it is, in part, a
tribute of confidence to the girls of
this day and age, one cannot say.
Much easier is it to say that it is a
very skilIfully contrived romance on
a tender and touchy social theme.
THE SIGN OF EVIL. BY Anthony

THEY'RE all pretty much alike,
these mystery tales. That is what
you are saying, no doubt, as you
read again and again the familiar
procedure following the sudden and
violent taking off of this one or that
one. In every case the meticulous
picking here and there, the trivial
findings of such inconsequential effect,
the portentouS plans, the self-infla-
tions of pseudo-sleuths, and finally,
the right about in face of every grain
of evidence or sense upon a criminal
of deepest dye. The case in hand, the
case of Sir William Armand, begins in
this well known way and so con-
tinues for perhaps too long a time.
Looks as if it We're going to be the
same old man hunt taken in hand
by a novice at story telling as well
as q tyro in the detectives business.

of the matter into a fresh substance of

move on toward an old superstition

that, lodged in a certain kind of mind,

HUNTING AND ADVENTURE IN
THE ARCTIC. BY Fridtjof Nan

THE ARCTIC. BY Fridtjof Nan
sen. Illustrated. New York: Duff
field & Co.
" DIRTY years ago, or thereabout,
- a young Norseman set out to
seek his fortune, as lusty youth
Il the Western world over is ever
wont to do. In his heart bub-
bled the songs of the early Springtime,
in his scant handful of years rang the
clear call of adventure, in his blood
pounded the urge of old seafaring for
bears daring the Arctic to make good
its fair promises to those of the strong
hand and the sturdy soul. Now, this
boy, like most of the universal tribe of
boyhood, had no ruled and lettered
plan of what it was that he wanted to
do, of what it was that he yearned to
be, save only this, that his Morse
blood called for the open, would have
nothing to do with the cribbed and
cabined career of the pure profes-
sional.
In the port of Arendal on an early
March morning of that time so many
years ago the Viking weighed anchor
and steamed out of it's harbor past
Torungen lighthouse, past the little
conveys of islands, away from the high
cliffs and the mountain ridges all
shining in the gold of the morning
sun. On deck. looking a bit regret
fully on the fading home shore, no
doubt, was the boy adventurer, Fridt-
jof Nansen, who, like the Viking it
self, was starting out on the first of
his sailings to the Arctic Ocean. This,
the beginning of a career that spread
in fame all over the world as one of
high personal courage expended in an
intelligent and persistent pursuit Of
ly, I.r, . g,f
kind generally. Something of that
matured career is embodied in Far
thest North" Nansen's account of his
Polar expedition wherein he touched a
point nearer the Pole than, up to that
time, had been reached.
The story in hand is, however, the
story of that first sailing with the
Viking. The quality of youth and ad-
venture dominates 1t. This it is which
sets it apart from other accounts of
similar Arctic sailings. The boys
wonder and amaZement get into the
story, and now, after 40 years, emerge
fresh and stimulating to readers who
go along in something near TO an
actual partaking of the strange scenes
ice fields under weirdly luminous
skies: a nosing, cautious. ship making
its slow way between berg and foe
and drift; sudden tempest of biting
ferocity. And for the hunter there is
no end of excitement with seal and
whale and bear. For the student of
animal life there is here an orderly
and full setting of the ways of these
Arctic folks-habitat, food and the
ways of getting it, breeding and the
curious instinct of preservation
which each has developed out of end
less ages of adaptation to environ
ment. For the mere lover of nature,
too, there is a story, the pictured set

and curious sea life, all following their

start, this author works conventionally
with the usual mediocre result. But,
when he does strike his gait he sue
ceeds in producing a mystery tale
that hangs together by such gruesome
threads as only the human, out Of
all created things, is able to spin out
of his unaccountable secret life-that
awful web of a thousand warning am
cestors.

Jordan Min, author of Mr.. WI.

Stokes Co.
A DOZEN tales, more or less, by
way of which one is able 20 come
close to the undercurrent of Chinese
life, closer far than other means of "A
more superficial character afford.
Years spent in the Orient, years OF
passionate caring for the country and
the people, have fitted this woman OF
deeply intuitive mind and fine artis-
try of expression to tell many an III
Eliminating tale of Chinese life. All
ready more than one novel of eXcep.
tional interest bears testimony to this
fact. The book in hand is modestly
designated as "glimpses" into that
life, glimpses that include both the
today and the tomorrow of this great
~
public, tyranny political whatnot
for the moment. Glimpses Of the
carefully guarded home life appear
here, of the strange customs of reli-
gion, of the power of the ancestors
and the gods, of the fate of the Chi
nese girl in respect to her upbringing
and her marriage. The music of
China and the flowers, it's ritual of
symbolism, its social ceremonial, its
subtleties of procedure on matters the
most trivial, the complex web of it's
entire life is flashed out here with the
knowing hand of one who loves the
country and the people, of one who
knows its sorrows and laughs with it's
joys. Spirited and witty with a Jour-
nalistic snap to the telling of the tale.

What TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Gemini.

The planetary aspects indicate that
you will experience tomorrow a sense
of restlessness, doubt and dissatis-
faction. Under such conditions, moth
ing that calls for any important de-
cision should be attempted. If, owing
to circumstances beyond your con-
troll, matters cannot be deferred, you
would do we'll to seek advice and
counsel from others. AS far as pos
sible only customary and routine
duties should receive attention, and.
even in the discharge of these, you
will find it essential to exercise good
deal of self-control in order to be
able to concentrate your thoughts on
the task, apparently unimportant
though it may be. In the evening
betterment of influences will be noted
and this should spell contentment and
tranquility in the home or social
circle.
Much trouble and unquietude is,
according to the signs. in store for
the child born tomorrow. 1t will suf-
fer from frequent illnesses. and at
such times will require the best of
care and the most vigilant attention.
II it is to develop, later on In life,
along normal physical lines. Its dis
position promises to be more way
ward than obedient, and when it's
will is crossed serious ebullitions of
temper may be anticipated. This ten
dency can be overcome by firmness
and an absolute refusal to bulge from
that which is right and proper. This
child will be ambitious. but, at no
time, will it display those qualities
of stick t-itiveness" which are 50
necessary to insure success. 1t will be
bright and keenwitted, but more ef-
fervescent than solid.
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
are quite idealistic, and live very
much in Utopia created by your own
vivid imagination. You are by no
means practical, and are more of
dreamer than doer. Your tastes
are artistic, and do not harmonize
with the ideas of the work a day"
world. If you find yourself in a
humdrum, uncongenial occupation,
you are square peg in round hole.
and should seek some other and more
suitable outlet for your activities.
Your nature is both sympathetic
and loving, and, in your way, you
are very demonstrative, if not gush-
ing. The cares and responsibilities
of home life annoy you. Its pleas
ures and comforts, however, make a
strong appeal to you.
So long as harmony and freedom
from cares prevail you are at once
happy and contented. Any trouble
or deviation from the paths of peace
and accord renders you irritable and
ill.tempered.
Well known persons born on this
date are: Joshua Humphrey, ship
builder; Samuel Williston, phiIan-
thropist; David Ames Wells, econo-
mist; George H. Babcock, engineer
and inventor; Charles Fohman,
theatrical manager, and Edward J.
Berwind, financier.

picking. Could you have watched her
you would have thought that she was
playing a game of Now you see me
and now you don't" Peter began to
suspect that. why don't you keep
out in sight where a fellow can watch
you?" he complained.
Are yuo having trouble following
me?" asked little Mrs. Chipmunk, her
eyes twinkling. I'm sorry. You
shouldn't be so slow. Peter. Never
mind; we are most there
Once more she disappeared between
the stones Of the old wall. 1t was down
in the corner nearest the Green For
est. Peter found that this time he could
get in between the stones. In fact, he
had hidden in there many times. 1t
was a place quite familiar to him.
This is funny" thought Peter. I've
been here times without number and
never have seen anything that looked
like the entrance to anybody's home"
He looked about carefully, but saw
nothing that looked like the home of
any one. nor did he see Mrs. Chip
munk. Where are you?" cried Peter;
where are you, Mrs. Chipmunk?'
Right on my doorstep, waiting for
you. Do hurry, Peter" replied the
voice of little Mrs. Chipmunk. But for
the life of him Peter couldn't tell
where it came from.
(Which way. Mrs. Chipmunk? :?
Which way?" called Peter.
This way" replied Mrs. Chipmunk.
This way. Hurry up, because have
got to see that those babies are all
right"
Now this way didn't mean anything
at all to Peter. You see, he was un-
able to tell from just what direction
that voice came. 1t was very provok-
ing. Peter began to be a little bit
cross. why don't you show yourself
where a fellow can see you?" he cried.
why don't you move quick enough
to keep up?" retorted little Mrs. Chip
munk, and still Peter couldn't tell
from just what direction that voice
came. He knew that it was from some
where under the stones of that stone
wall. He popped his head out from
between the stones for another look
around. He was just in time to see
the funny tail of Mrs. Chipmunk
whisk out of sight farther along the
old stone wall. Then Peter realized
that little Mrs. Chipmunk was simply
playing tricks on him. She could dodge
in and out of such small places that
1t was perfectly useless for him to
even think of trying to follow her. as
he should have known in the first
place.
