BYRD TO BUILD CITY AT SOUTH POLE BASE
Miniature Village With Homes, Airdromes and
 Radio Station

New York, Aug. f R-The New York Evening Post today says Con- mander Richard E. Byrds scientific expedition into the Antarctic prom ises to be one of the most stupen- dous undertakings in history and will cost about quarter of million dollars.
 This, Commander Byrd admitted. is an extraordinarily large sum, but declared it really a conservative one measured against the size of the ex- petition, the distance the supplies will have to be transported and the fact that two, and perhaps three years, will be required for it's con- pletion.
 Commander Byrd said that Edsel Ford will not be the sole packer of the expedition. He said conferences have been arranged with other men who have been interested in the ex- petition and who have expressed a desire to back it financially.
 The commander declined to reveal the names of the projected packers. What is moro important. he said, is the breadth of propagation that must be made before the flight to not take more than a dozen hours or so.
 At the major base in Discovery Bay, a miniature modern city for 30 persons will be constructed. Port able houses will be brought from shops for the scientists. mechanics and fliers who will comprise the community.
 The houses will be provided with telephones, and heat will be fur nished by oil and coal. A radio sta- tion. operating on a short wave length, is expected tc maintain communication with the United States. An airdrome will be erected at the edge of the city for the hous- ing of the two planes that will be used in the expedition.
 There will be no automobiles in the expedition. but there will be several SUltlIl lTdClOTS LOT IOWlIlS tllt planes to the runways and for trans portation of supplies.
 A large amount of canned goods will be taken along, but the party expects to depend for meat on birds. polar bears and other Antarctic ami nal life.
 Commander Byrd said he and Floyd Bennett. his pilot on his flight to the North Pole. have been work ing on the plans for the last three weeks and have made remarkable progress.
 'It really is stupcndous under taking" he said, land it seems to be growing more so every moment Requests have come to me from all over the country-from scientists asking me to do this and that: from individuals who want to go: from companies that want me to take this or that product along"

Says She Is Trying to Forget Sorrow and Suffering-Has Never Seen Condemned Men and Says Punish mcnt is Concern of State.

New Haven, Aug. Pl-The fate Nanzetti. refused clemency by Gov ernor Fuller of Massachusetts, ap- parently had only passing interest to Sarah. widow of Alexander Ber- ardelli, guard to paymaster Freder- ick A.

For years since the trial the widow has been out of Massa- chusetts, trying, she has said, to forget the sorrow in which she and her two children were thrown by the death of the husband and father. end cndeavoring to lose contact, so far as possible. with all who had become interested in the case, and the activities of the so-called de fense committee" which worked in behalf of the condeIned men.
 Mrs. Berardelli would have noth- ing to say about the decision of Governor Fuller and explanatory of her reasons fo rseeming lack of in terest she said:
 "Why should I say anything? I do not know much about this case. I never saw the men. I never was asked by the government if I had an opinion as to those men. Why should the government ask me?

PA0NESSA MAY
 HAVE HAT IN RING ,t s. -- Rumors That Former Mayor
 Might Run Again PLANS TO RETURN HERE 
Angelo Refuses to Speak When Ask ed of His Future Plans -Quigley's Activities Suspicious, But He De- nies Mayorality Ambition.

Local political discussion, revived this week by ex-Mayor George A. Quigley's declaration against the ad- ministration's sewerage plan, which was taken in some circles as the in- cipient move in new mayoralty campaign by the anti-organization chief, was given new impetus today when it was learned that former Mayor Angelo NJ. Paonessa is plan ming to close out his interests at Lake Pocotopaug and return to New Britain to re-engage in business.
 The reports of Paonessa's plan, which comes from intimates of the democratic hope for mayor, connect him with a new automobile corpor- ation of which he Is expected to be the president. Before engaging in the hotel and real estate business in East Hampton, Paonessa was in the automobile sales and garage business on Hartford avenue. and he is still the owner of the buildings which which formerly housed the business. He has maintained his residence on Stanley street and has been fre- quent caller around local political haunts.
 Paonessa steadfastly refuses to en- ter into discussion of politics par ticularly when the question pertains to the possibility of his becoming a candidate for the office he filled for two successive terms and for which he was defeated by the present mayor in a third attempt. Demo- cratic leaders have indicated their assurance that he will be their standard bearer by making no at tempts to line up' another for the nomination.
 Persistent rumorings that Paon- .essa would return to again be Q candidate for office. together with the absence of a definite denial by the former executive make his de- cision to engage in business in New Britain at this. time appear as some thing more than coincidence. po- 1itical wiseacres declare.
 Paonessa was connected with the city government for 16 years. serv- ing in the common council for 12 years and as mayor for the last four. He defeated George A. Quigley in 1922 and Judge Benjamin W. filling in 1924. Last year he was bested at the polls by Gardner c. Weld, after a campaign in which declarations against coal dealers and the fifth ward republican delegation in the common council had cut deeply into his vote drawing strength.
 Quigley insists that his campaign against an expenditure for sewerage work at this time is not in the na- ture of an opening gun in a drive to return him to the head of the city government. After lengthy term of common council service, Quigley was elected mayor in con- test with Joseph M. Halloran, in 1914. He defeated Ernest w. Pelton in 1916 and Dr. John E. Martin in 1918. In 1920, after bitter primary fight with Orson F. Curtis he failed to recive the nomination and Curtis became mayor, defeating Mir. Hal loran. In 1922 Quigley bested Cur tis in primary and was then de- feated by Paonessa.

 Clay. Ky, Aug. 4 tR)-Three un- identified bodies were found early today by rescue workers in the No. : mine of the West Kentucky Coal company. where an explosion occur red yesterday. The total number of known dead was seven with nine men still missing.
 Positive identification has been made of the bodies of James Mey- ers 60; George Cole, Mark Town send and Arthur Shelton, all found yesterday. The three bodies discov- cred today were those of miners in the list of 12 men for whom the rescue workers are pushing their search.
 The explosion occurred on the tenth entry of the mine and the four bodies were found on the sev- enth level.
 All Brattices Destroyed
 The rescue workers were ham, pered in their progress as all the brattices of the pit shaft were de- stroyed in the explosion.
 They were forced to construct new brattices as they went down into the pit and had progressed as far as the eighth level. The men who were missing were believed to be on the tenth level where the eX- plosion occurred. Little hope is held that they are alive. ..
 The air in the mine was report ed to be bad, and Byrd Sampson, one of the fl rescue workers, was overcome by afterdamp. He was brought to the surface and revived through first-aid treatment. No fire has been discovered thus far.
 The rescue workers include three crews provided with gas masks, and these may be augmented by other men to press the work more rapidly should it be deemed practicable, said T. E. Jenkins. vice president of the West Kentucky Coal company. Mir. Jenkins was in the mine with the workers.
 Doctors at Entrance
 Twenty nurses and doctors were ready for emergency cases at the entrance and ambulances were drawn up to transport any survivors who may be found. Pressing as close as they were allowed were the fam

WINTER
BY ID. c. PEATTIE.
Ice Storm.

AS / write this the world seen from
my window is incaSed in a deep,
fragile armor of glittering ice. Black
tWigs ofsoak and tulip trees are seen
through soft silver, while musical
cla<ter and rattle and tinkle OF the ice
laden twigs comes to my ears. by
the time these words see print that
ice will be as melted as last years
snow in Villon's ballad. But those
who read will not have forgotten the
perilous beauty of the tree-lined city
streets. or the cathedral purity of the
woods of Rock Creek Park when the
great ice storm fell upon us.
Sun or wind or both will melt that
casing away: but ice storms are not
without their biological significance,
however brief their duration.
The experiment of weighing the ice
on twig is an easy one. Take pair
outdoors, break off an ice-laden twig
and weigh the whole thing. Then
bring the twig in the house and let
the ice melt. The difference in
weight, Of course, will be the weight
of the ice.
Sometimes it has been found, after
ice storms lasting many days, when
an incredibly thick coating Of ice has
grown by accretion around the twigs,
tnat the Ice WeIgned IO times as much
as the twig. Add to this high wind,
straining on the branches, and 1t is
easy to see why twigs break in ice
storms and even whole trunks are
split asunder.
OF course, this would never happen
when sap Is in the twigs, making them
timber, giving them elastic strength;
but in the brittle condition of Winter
wood the tensile strength of a tree
is poor. Elms especially suffer at
these times.

one particular thing, you are very
likely not to see all the other things
which you might see.
You will remember that Peter Rab-
bit and Jumper the Hare were hidden
under some hemlock boughs, from
which they could peek up and see
Hooty the Owl and his nest, In which
Mrs. Hooty was sitting on some pre-
cious eggs. It was a Spring sign.
They knew that Mr.. and Mrs. Hooty
did not begin housekeeping until they
were sure that by the time the babies
needed warmer weather Sweet Mistress
Spring would be on hand to give 1t to
them.
''Is that where Hooty always sits?'
whispered Peter to Jumper.
NO" said Jumper. "He sits there
a good deal now, but that isn't his
regular watch tower. You see that
tall dead tree over there? That is
Hooty's watch tower. That's where
he delights to sit when he is watching
for a breakfast, a dinner or a supper.
did you ever, see the funny little
balls at the foot Of that tree?"
Peter shook his head. II never did,
said he.

no longer a novel idea and this Spring
we shall all see-and most OF us
wear--frocks in which triangles.
parallelograms. circles, squares and
other Euclidian figures are clearly
discernible.
Geometrical figures have of course
been made use of for ages in the
making of figured materials, but for
the most part these figures lave Teen
employed without any special relation
ship to the bodies which they covered.
In the new geometrical frocks plain
material Is cut up and worked to-
gether.o again to make the desired
figures that have a definite relation
ship to the proportion Of the figure.
Double.faced fabrics are frequently
employed--crepe satin with a dull side
and a glossy side being especially well
liked.
Very charming results may be
gained when these geometrical princi-
pies are carried out by a good dress
maker, but conversely very trying re-
suits may be gained when the poor
dressmaker tries to make use of
geometry. There are combinations of
lines and angles and curves that
enhance the natural charm of the
figure and minimize individual faults
in outline, and there are combinations
of these figures that distort the figure
and accentuate individual shortcom-
ings.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Troublesome Maps.

When child nears the age of /
year it Is quite natural that he will,
in most cases, voluntarily stop nap
ping twice a day and will want only
one nap.

again at 6. fl
This Is far better always than CIV
ing him two daytime maps and then
pushing his bed hour forward. which
some mothers do as a remedy. Anent
this subject Mrs. II. c. E. writes:
MY baby is Is months old and
weighs 80 pounds and is 33 inches
tall. Is he overweight for his height?
He will not drink more than one pint
of milk daily dnless / prepare a milk

HE has always taken a nap be-
tween 10 and IL. Lately he will play
in bed until lunch time, even though

him to sleep in the afternoon he will
stay awake until 10 o'clock at night.
Can you advise me how to break him

Is stronger In vitality does not need
as much sleep as q weaker child?''

with the nap situation. 1t is extreme

play too long in bed in the morning
gives him an idea that he need not

1t is not true that stronger children
do not need maps. In fact. the under

child is very often a bad sleeper, while

BEAUTY CHATS BY EDNA KENT FORBES
Lip Creams.

It's great mistake to let the lips
chap, it's ugly, it's uncomfortable, it
makes the mouth temporarily thick
and coarse looking. Also, it's one OF
the easiest discomforts to avoid, so
there is no excuse for chapped lips
at any time.
Carry one of the little white cream
lipsticks in your bag. They are SO
cheap that you can have several. and
never be without one In your pocket
or purse during the cold raw days Of
the late Winter. You can get them
for 10 cents and you can buy i'm
ported ones with a delicious scent to
them for 25. Don't get colored ones,
for then you begin rouging your lips
and the color comes off on your
handkerchief, on table napkins, On
your gloves, even on your own skin.
The worst looking thing in the world
is to see lips spreading arohnd the
face, or else a light reddish center
outlined by darker red rim. And
that is inevitable If you use colored
lip rouge.
If your lips are very pale, you can
get q rose-colored rouge. SO light 1t
does not stain the skin at all if you
rub It over. 1t will make the slight
est pink mark on handkerchief--it
Is supposed to keep the lips the at.
ural color. at least, to lend a pinkness
that is really not artificial. It Is
quite invisible when OH the mouth,
but I cannot see that 1t really gives
much color or that the white cream,
which does not stain, takes away
from the natural shade Of the lips.
Suit yourself as to which YOU buy,
only don't under any circumstances
use lip rouge that shows. Some
day cosmetic may be invented that
colors the lips, stays on, and doesn't
color anything else. but chemistry
has not found the formula yet. Mean.
time. use white cream lipsticks to
protect the lips from chapping. IL
YOU are normally healthy, your Ups
will be red enough for good looks.
