NORTH POLEVILLE, Eskimoland,
Nov. Body Radio.)-I promised
n my story sent by radio yesterday
70 tell you of our visit today to Jack
FTrost's palace, but after having seen
that beautiful place built of tons
and tons Of jewel-like ice, I know
I will not be able to describe it
properly.
We started, as on the day before,
right after Santa Claus and the
members of our expeditionary party,
had finished breakfast. The sun
has turned all the snow and ice
outside to diamonds when we start
ed out in reindeer sleighs. We took
the same path as the day before and
within an hour were at the edge of
the Polar Sea.
Slide Over Ice
We drove across it at it's widest
part The ice was so clear that we
could see all the way to the bottom,
which Santa told us was nearly a
half mile below the runners of our
sleighs.
Hundreds of queer little fish of
all colors and many large, ugly mon
sters of the sea were sleeping sound
ly entirely surrounded by ice and
totally ignorant that such a merry
party was passing above them.
High in the mountains on the OPP
posite side of the Polar Sea, we
came upon Jack Frost's palace.
There is nothing in any picture book
half as beautiful as this huge castle
Of ice, which sparkleS in the sun
like precious jewels. &
Palace SparkIeS
The wall which surrounds the cas-
tie grounds is of solid ice, one hun
dred feet high and a half-block in
thickness at the base.
The palace itself sparkles so in
the sunlight that it is impossible to
look upon it without blinking-like
looking at the sun. 1t is several
times higher than Soldiers and
Sailors Monument in indianapolis
just how high, I cannot say, be-
cause the tops of it's towerS-one at
each corner-are lost in the clouds.
Thewhole exterior is covered with
beautiful icicles, which form vines.
Inside, the rooms are large with ex-
tremely high ceilings. The only dis
appointing thing was that there was
no fire in the place. Jack Frost
doesn't believe in heat, you know,
and there was none of the Charming
fire. places that made Salltas castle
SO homeIike and cozy.

There is decided decadence
in indoor track activity around
Washington, and it's pity, too!
Not that the colleges and
schools hereabouts are not
training their athletes for the
indoor tests, but that no local
institution is sponsoring a
domestic meet wherein the
sparsely clad lads might strut
their stuff within their own
gates.
Time was when the great
Convention Hall was at least
once annually the focal point
for all Of the great athletes
within our own ranks and those
from out of town as well. From
far and near they came to COM
pete against the best that could
be mustered locally. Washing
ton, not so long ago, was an
indoor track center second to
none, but now we seem to be
raising our crop solely to be
sent out Of town in quest of
competition.
We note by the prints that
the Cleveland "Rosenbums'' viii
be amongst US no later than
Sunday night, and from all we
read Of that team there is
nothing whatever in their con-
duct afield to merit such q wise
crack if such it may be. Buns
or no buns, if they give the
fans as much action against
the Palace warriors as the
sixth-place Fort Wayne five did
last week, the bugs in the
gallery viii have no cry coming
for q rebate.
Il looked for a spell there
last Sunday night like the
police would have to be called
in to preserve peace on the
floor and that kind of compe-
tition is what the cash Gus
toners pay to see. Basketball
of the professional type will
never run afoul Of ugly charges
such a. have characterized base
ball this winter, 80 long as the
players fraternize publicly a la
Palace and Fort Wayne.
We also observe that the
champion, Gene Tunney, has
been divided into another in
tegral part as result of pre-
battle negotiations with Max
Two-Boos Hoff, Of Philadel-
phia. There probably never was
9 better living example of a
man not being able to call his
soul his own, than that Of the
heavyweight king.
It would seem that Tunney is
nothing more nor less a chattel
and is the property, Of no less
than three persons Of which he
ID one, Billy Gibson the other
and Max Two-Boos Hoff the
other, with Tex Richard holding
Q sort Of q mechanics lien on
the whole corporal being. At
that, Gene impresses one as
being good enough to earn
plenty for all known interested
parties and still have something
left for himself. He's that kind
OF a fighter, you see!
