Western Senators Win
Fight Against States
Financing Reclamation
AN nlsnatch A. P. Wirel

WASHINGTON, April 15-Western
senator's finally won their fight
against the administration proposal
requiring the states to finance set
tiers reclamation projects before
granting federal appropriations for
the projects.
After two weeks deadlock, house
managers on the interior department
appropriation bill, decided to accept
the senate amendments under which
half million dollars from the recla-
nation fund would be available for
federally aiding settlers in lieu of the
original house provision requiring
state aid.
The amendments represented COM
promise between the western sena-
tors and Secretary Work after long
series of conferences during which
the interior secretary sharply as
sailed, as seeking to destroy the
whole federal policy Of reclamation,
the imposition upon states of condi-
tions which might be unfulfillable
due to constitutional inhibitions or
lack of funds.

R. A. POPE SAYS
ARCTIC TRIPS
WELL JUSTIFIED

NEW YORK, April 15.-Justifieation
for the risk Of ire and expenditure
of money involved in three American
arctic expeditions this summer was
given today by Robert Anderson
Pope, organizer of the all-American
Alumni Arctic expedition.
His outfit will be commanded by
Lieutenant Leigh Wade,t assisted by
Lieutenant H.. H. Ogden, both OF
whom are round4the world fliers.
All three American expeditions will
attempt to locate, chart and claim
for the United States large body
of land believed to lie north OF
Alaska and Eastern Siberia, spoken
of by the explorers as "a new polar
continent" al bulletin issued last
year by the. National Geographic So
ciety estimated that this land COM
prises about 100000 square miles,
sufficient evidence is available
said Mr.. Pope, Ito justify the almost
certain belief that such land ex-
ists." He then proceeded to unfold
the evidence.
Travellers to the northern Alaskan
and Siberian coasts have been con-
vinced that land lay to the north
ward ever since Arctic explorers first
began to inquire They base their
belief chiefly upon the northerly flight
of birds in the spring as soon as the
ice starts to go out, which is just
before nesting season.
Some scientific skeptics think the
birds fly clear across the pole to
Spitzenbergen and Franz Josef Land,
but the majority think they would
not be likely to attempt such long
flight at the beginning of the, nest
ing season. s'fses 7e -
E. w. Nelsons chief of the bureau
of biological survey of the United
States department of agriculture has
written Mr.. Pope:
"My information concerning the
flight of birds at Point Barrow, gain
ed both during my residence in Alas
ka years ago and what has been
learned since, all combine to indicate
the probability of unknown lands to
the north or northeast of that point.
Also my observations on Wrangell
Island indicate the probability of
lands lying northerly from that is
land"

"Red" Lopez Captured
Aqua Prieta Just Is
Years Ago On Thursday

Mrs. Alice Gatliff, proprietor of the
Curio, cafe, Aqua Prieta, recalled last
night that it was just Is years ago
Thursday at p. m. that ''Red'' Lo-
pez rode into Aqua Prieta and cap
tured the city.
1t was an event of great moment
for the residents of that little city
and Mrs. Gatliff, who has experienced
much of the fighting in Mexico of
recent years, recalls the excitement
and terror of it all very clearly. That
afternoon the large mirror which
hangs in her shop today so that vis-
itors may see it's battle-scarred front,
was cracked by a bullet from one of
the combatant's rifles.

been deserted by Captain Delong, who
with his crew froze to death. The
Jeanette became lodged in the ice
at a point northeast of Wrangell
Island and drifted westerly going
to pieces northwest of Bennett Is
land.
The Franz Nansen's ship, became
icebound northwest of Bennett Is
land and drifted in a general course
toward the Greenland Sea, showing
a sharp turn in the ocean current
northwest of Bennett Island. MIR.
Harris believed this indicates the
point of large body of land ex-
tending down to a point not far
from Bennett Island, DETECTING the
ocean current southwark. He also
claimed that the unknown land can
not extend much beyond the pole,
or it would have deflected the cur
rent in which the Fran drifted.
At the same time, he believes the
undiminished tide at Bennett Island
indicates a fairly narrow channel
along which Nansen Travelled.
The division of ocean currents in
the eastern section of the Beaufort
sea, one current flowing northeast
ward and the other westward also
Indicated a large obstruction to the
north in Mr.. Harris opinion.
Mr.. Pope, and others supporting
his expedition, feel that in these
reasons they have sufficient evidence
of polar continent to justify their
exploration.

CONTEST BARES
lR0NIC TWIST
Denmark Concert Singer
Sought Unkind Distinction
to Achieve Success.
BIZ Times spcosoI

BIZ Times Special
NEW YORK. Jan. S.-Publicity on
the recent ugliest woman stunt of
the National Beauty Shop Owners
Association has laid bare the ruins
Of a hopeful immigrants shattered
dream for the world to laugh-and
cry-about.
The beauty hucksters advertised
for Gotham's homeliest woman and
broadcast that some Of the leading
ilucksters could revise her facial
architecture with a couple OF hours
treatment-make her beauty
queen.
Numerous homely women crowded
into the golden precincts Of the Wal
dorf-Astoria Hotel.
Among the candidates for the UNI
kind distinction was Mrs. Alexan-
der, who came from Tottenville,
which is at the farther extremity
OF the far-off Staten Island car line.
Girl From Denmark
Mrs. Alexander had come all the
long way with the clipped advertise
Ynent for the homeliest women
ciutciaed in chubby hand. Mrs.
Alexander knew she wasn't the ugii-
est woman in New York, but she
hoped that some one else might
think sos in view of her 800 pounds
and the fact that the neighbors
sometimes made remarks about her
lack of attraction.
The reason for Mrs. Alexan6er's
strange desire was that she wanted
to sing, which wasn't so funny as
it might have been, even with Mrs.
Alexander's 800 pounds, forty-odd
years and three children. When she
was IS or thereabouts, a girl in Den
mark, she had given concerts and
people liked her voice. Then she
was married and came to America.
Soon she became seriously engaged
in the business of raising children,
but all the time there remained that
ambition to sing-especially since
her husband failed for some reason
or other, to return from the war.
Faint Hope Seized
And now Mrs. Alexander, in far
off Tottenville at the end Of the car
line, had seized at this faint hope Of
becoming beautiful, for she felt that
given a little charm, she could
achieve her success and make her
children the children Of a celebrity
instead Of just the kids Of poor old
Mrs. Alexander of Tottenville. She
inserted only the proviso that she
must not be required to expose any
Of her person but her face, for, as
she said, she had always lived a
clean life"
The people in charge of the con-
test listened sympathetically but a
little impatiently to Mrs. Alexander,
and. at her plea, took her name and
address in case they might later be
able to do something. Some woman
from the movies had won the con-
test.
And as Mrs. Alexander trudged
back through the golden corridors of
the Waldorf toward Tottenville, they
crumpled the slip Of paper with the
name and address and threw 1t away.
