The North Pole

Until recently the Pole was the brave
explorers goal. For a hundred years or
more eyes were turned to that cold
shore with a longing to attain what so
many sought in vain. Men went forth
in rugged ships or their deadly Arctic
trips: hopefully they used to go through
the ice and fog and snow. burying their
frozen dead in that dismal land Of dread.
High Of heart and brave Of soul-but
they didn't reach the Pole. Men who
sought the Pole and missed form a long.

She waited until there were three eggs.

and hid where she could take ao-
vantage of the first opportunity ~hen
for a few minutes that nest should be

Sunshine and Mrs. Sunshine didn't

for n single instant But when Redtail

nest, She called sharply. and Sunshine
came hurrying over He knew by the
sound of her voice that something had
gone wrong. At first ne feared that
the nest had dropped. but when he
peered in and discovered that big egg,
he understood at once. He looked at
Mrs Sunshine and he saw instantly
that she had made up her mind what
she was going to do. We'll, my dear,
what is it," he asked.
TO begin with" said she, I'VE are
not going to let anybody know what
has happened 1t is nohodys business.
Then We are going to seal that egg up"
But to do that you will have to seal
our own eggs up" protested Sunshine.
II can lay more eggs asserted Mrs.
Sunshine.
why not build a new nest some
where elSe?" asked Sunshine.
Because this place suits me exactly"
replied Mrs Sunshine Besides. the
same thing might happen again in
new nest. Sally has already laid an
egg in this nest and 1t won't enter her
head TO come back here again, So we'll
Just build a second story on this nest
and seal those other eggs in. We
haven't any time to waste" With this,
away went Mrs Sunshine to look for
more building material. Before the day
was over. that nest had been completely
rooted over and the roof was really the
floor Of the second story. A few days
later this was all completed and Mrs.
Sunshine had begun laying again. So
that egg Of Sally Sly'S never would
hatch. Mrs. Sunshine had outwitted

The new clear well al the Browns

Water is pumped from the settling
basins through the filter into the

it is pumped into the mains. The old
clear we'll, which will continue to be
utilized, has a capacity of approx
imately 100000 gallons. which proved
inadequate for the city's needs.
"The clear well supply will now be
ample TO meet every demand Of the
city," A. Z. Munday, city secretary,
stated. at will greatly facilitate
operation Of the city system"
Plans have been made 70 install a
large pump direct to the settling
basin TO pump water into the mains
in the event of an abnormal demand
in case Of : large fire that threaten
ed TO exceed the supply In the clear
wells. A pump purchased by the city
several years ago will be utilized for
this purpose. at will probably not
be used once in five years" Mr.. Nun

the emergency arises"
The new clear well II lined with
concrete throughout. and the water
after running from the settling basin
through the filter into the well is
clear and sparkling as spring water.

FANS REJOICE
IN BILLS WIN
Also Resent Tilden's
Disbarment by Ten
mis- Association
BY NORMAN Z. BROWN
Sports Writer for Central Press and
The Brownsville Herald

Following Big Bill Tilden's hard
fought win over Rene LaCoste Fri
day in the challenge rounds for the
Davis tennis cup. most fans felt
like t~humbing their nose at the ten
mis- commission and saying, "See
there! l told you So" on general
principles.
The fans were pretty we'll torn up
by the commissions disbarment of
Big Bill and their feelings have not
been entirely assuaged by his re-
instatement. A symptom of a gen
eral echo in France OF this feeling
was shown in LaCoste's withdrawal
from an important amateur tourna-
ment following the commissions
thumbs down on Tilden.
Waiting until the first flush OF
resentment over the action of the
tennis officials had died down, /
made as comprehensive a one-man
survey Of the feelings Of tennis fans
as an individual in the ordinary
walk of life could.
With the results that:
I find 95 per cent of the sports
fans Of all types are with Tilden IN
the mess and that:
Seventy-five per cent OF the fans
resent the action TO the extent Of
Noicing their sentiment that the net
officials have absolutely no defense
for their action.
Tilden was barred from particips-
ton in the Davis cup matches be-
cause of his infraction of an ANA
teur rule regulating the literary ef-
forts Of players participating in
tournaments.
Why waste time over the techni-
c~aiities of the rule or its violation?
IL was an Inner office" rule. 1t had
no standing in foreign countries.
Anyone who attempts to argue that
the measure Of punishment melted
out was in keeping with the magni-
tude Of the offense is punch drunk
crazy.
But the inconsistency of the thing
Is not confined to that. The u. S.
Lawn Tennis association. six months
ago, turned to Bill Tilden as the
Moses to lead the u. s.. tennis team.
Those OF the tennis body with Wis
ion, foresight and sportsmanship,
saw to IL that obstacles which made
Tilden's association with the body
unpleasant were removed.
Then, with Tilden and his pro-
teges about ready to reap some re-
ward from their labors, someone
with a sour stomach threw the or
ganiEation off its balance With the
chairman of the association and the
head Of the Davis cup committee en-
the high seas, the stay-at-homes
went wild again.

the glory of their native land.
George Hill. director Of tell II to
the Marines" directed the huge
feature.
The Cossacks staged many riding
thrills. such as pyramids of men on
galloping horses. sensational races
and battle scenes. A battle in a
huge replica of a Turkish fort was
one Of the supreme thrills filmed.
The Cossack troop was command
ed by General Theodore Lodi. for
mer commander Of the Cars body
guard. and the settings designed by
Alexander Tuiuboff. once head OF

builder Of towns in Turkestan and
Crimea. In the making OF the pic

crowds in Russian. as few besides

Among the thrills in the picture
are the great torture scene in the

and the storming Of the great fort
and the sensational riding in the
Cossack festival or rodeo.
