EXPLORERS NOW
MAKING A RUSH
FOR THE POLE
fBu Dispatch A. P. wirel

WASHINGTON, April 3.-With polar
explorers planning to crowd the
northern airways during the prlef
season this year until it looks as
though traffic regulations might be
required to prevent a jam the ques-
tion of what flag will fly over new
lands which may be discovered takes
on new Importance.
OF the six or more expeditions pre-
pairing to hop off for the pole, shoot
ing at it from almost every angie,
some are 100 per cent one natlonallly
or another in personnel, while the
others are mixed. If the nationality
of the actual discoverer is to gov
ern future sovereignty of lands IN
the far north, difficult and embar-
RAISING problems might arise within
the mixed national groups
1t seems quite likely, however, that
the principle gradually developed
through the years that discovery must
be backed UP by bona fide utilization
of new lands to afford basis for
claims of sovereignty which would
be recognized by all nations will be
applied in final determination Of
such questions in regard to new
found polar regions.
This principle apparently leaves
much to the future. 1t is the glory
of the exploring achievement, ratheF

the supposed lost lands of the Tar
north, that is urging all of the eX-
petitions on.
Much scientific data of gIetaest
value may flow from the opserva-
tions of the birdmen; the art OF nav
igation in the air or on thF waters
of all the rest of the world may De
by what is Learned; the
mysteries of the magnetic ana the
true pole may be farther explained;
but the time still is obstured IN the
mists Of the future wien the lost
lands, provided their existence Isl
proved, can be brought into useful
by mankind.

Unemployed ex-service men have
supplanted italian organ grinders in
the streets of London. A fascist edict
withho1ds passports from organ
grinders because such means of live

In their places are blinded or Grip
pied war veterans. Occasionally an
ex-officer wit ha black mask over
his face stands stiffly at the handle
of an organ. Other organ grinders
bring their wives or children to stand
by them and collect pennies.

OPENER

LOS ANGELES, April 5.--The open
ing game here of the Pacific Coast
league scheduled for tomorrow, has
been postponed because of rain.
AS the result of a storm during
which $50 inches of rain fell, the
ball park today was little more than
lake, and ]. H. Patrick, president
of the Los Angeles club, decided that
the season could not be ushered in
locally untM Wednesday or Thurs
day. Oakland, which will play Los
Angeles in the season opener at the
new Wrigley field, arrived this aft
ernoon in downpour. The Oaks

that stand should any diplomatic cor
rasnondence develop oNt of the polar
rrsb this year. For a time Just he
fore the Macmillan expedition, with
Rvrd commanding the naval fliers. set
out last year, Canadian claims threat
aned to raise the issue. The fact that
it did not come UP justifies the dip
lomatic reticence in Washington in
the view of informed officials.
The Canadian claim is a blanket
declaration of sovereignty over all
lands which may exist within the
Triangle formed by the northern ex-
plored Canadian arctic regions and
the projection to the north pole of
the eastern and western longitudinal
boundaries of Canada. Presumably,
it would include claim to a fraction
al section Of the pole itself, shaped
like a piece Of pie.
There is a1ot of unknown territory
within that triangle, but neither the
Byrd expedition nor any other Of
those of particular interest in the
United States is planning to map it,.
Cape Morris Jessup, Byrds sched-
uled hop off for the pole, lies to the
east and the land which he and
other arctic explorers believe he will
find, is due north of the cape, out
side the zone covered by Canada's s
blanket claim.
Even the Canadians apparently feel
that simple visual discovery of new
lands furnishes only a slender and
debasable claim of ownership. There
are vast and almost uninhabited
known regions into which the re-
potts say the celebrated red jack
eed mounted police are to be sent
an patrol for the purpose of backing
hp Canadian ownership claims by
actual, physical occupation.
The chief probable future benefit
to be derived for the world from
discovery of new arctic lands has
been given as the establishment of
air base facilities to aid future COM
mercial travel by air across the top
Of the world as the most direct and
practical air route from Europe to
the orient That argument was ad
vanced when the navy two years ago
planned to send the dirgible Los An
geles, or the Shenandoah, since lost,
to seek an unknown continent in a
million square miles of arctic wastes
far to the west Of the Canadian zone.
It was suggested that if such con-
tinent did exist, it would some day
be the site of great air depot. This
project has little to do, however, with
any of the polar flights now pre-
pairing.

English girls keenness for, athlet
les and field sports has robbed them
of the grace essential for such oc-
cupations as mannequin, say some of
the fashion experts and as a result
there is dearth of models for the
spring dress parades.
There are about 10000 mannequins
in London, but this number is not suf-
ficient for the rush season. The big
stores handling smart gowns have
been advertising for models but many
of the applicants have been turned
away for the reason that they are too
we'll developed.
AS a result, professional lance
mannequins who supplement the per-
manent staffs of the fashion houses
are reaping a harvest in cash. They
get about two pounds a session and
are able to do two shows day. The
ordinary rate of pay is four or five

mannequins received from two pounds

BELGIAN QUEEN
PAYS INFORMAL
BRITISH VISIT
(By Dispatch A. p. wire)


LONDON. April 3.-Even queens
sometimes a-visiting go unannounced
without any flurries, frills or for
malities.
The queen of the Belgians came to
London for a visit the other day and
arrived at the railway station with
out representatives of King Georges
household or the foreign office to
greet her. The government knew
nothing about it,.
The queen, accompanied by Crown
Prince Leopold, was whisked off to
a hotel in a taxicab and it was not
until hours afterward that Whitehall
or Buckingham palace was aware Of
the presence of the royal visitor from
across the channel.
She came over to do some shopping.
After completing her shopping, the
queen of the Belgians packed her grip
and went back home again-also with
anything about her plans.
The English, with a national weak
ness for puns and for coupling words
together, have hit upon a new terms-
