and for the first three years of her
life was nothing but an unmitigated
trouble to her friends" Fortunately,
however, she was endowed with vitali-
ty that not only carried her through
the illness of her infancy but also
through the heavy miSfortUneS OF her
g.rlhood and womanhood.
Mrs. Southworth was the eldest
daughter of Capt. Charles Lecompte
Nevitte of Alexandria, Va, and of his
second wife, Susannah George WALES
of st. Marys County, Md. According
to reports he was large importing
merchant of Alexandria, who, during
the naval troubles with France, had his
vessels and cargoes seized by the
French and his business thrown into
inextricable embarrassment. During the
War of 1925 he served at the head
of a company of volunteers and re-
ceived a painful wound in the chest
from which he never fully recovered.
Capt. Nevitte was as years of age
when he was married to Miss Wales,
then q girl of only Is, and the only
daughter of q widowed mother. Be-
cause Of her youth her mother would
not agree to be separated from her,
and in consequence they moved to-
gether to Washington and leased ioint.

ness lays its grim hand upon them or
upon members of their families, what
little savings they may have been able
to accumulate (Which is, indeed, a rare
thing) are Immediately swallowed up
by hospital and doctor bills. They are
generally obliged to borrow money,
sometimes at exorbitant interest, and
often carry a milestone OF debt around
their necks for months after they are
able to go back to work.
In spite of the remarkable kindness
and generosity of most of the Wash
ington doctors, who do all they can to
temper their bills to the emaciated pock-
etbooks of the Government employees,
the cost of illness is staggering. Hos
pitals must make expenses, and private
sanatoriums, run to provide legitimate
living for their proprietors, must make
more than their expense. The unfor-
tunate result is that many employees,
rather than face such expense, put OF
a necessary operation too long or refuse
to take an obviously much needed rest
until it is too late to prevent nervous
breakdown. A tedious, long-drawn-out
absence from work is required for re-
cuperation and there is probable loss
of salary to the worker, with loss to the
Government either through the enforced
use of an inefficient clerk, or because of
the absence of an efficient one.

Watterson's sympathies were with the
South and he soon crossed the Long
Bridge to cast his lot with the Cen
federate States of America. For a
number of years prior to his death he
practically shaped the destiny of the
Democratic party, and his advice, when
needed, was always of much value to
that political faith.
Of the native Washington women, no
doubt the one to achieve the greatest
fame was Mrs. e. D. E. N. Southworth.
the celebrated novelist, who was born
in one of the Washington houses on
North Capitol street, later combined
and known as the Hilman House, the
site now forming a part of the Capitol
Plaza. Brief sketches of this distin-
guished woman have recently appeared
in the press, following the purchase of
her cottage, at Tnirty-sixth street and
Prospect avenue, by the National
League of American Pen Women.

Scattered all over the globe are ma
tive Washingtonians who have distin-
guiShed themselves in every walk of
life. One whom we may all perhaps
know as a native Washingtonian Is the
great bandmaster John Philip Sousa,
who was born and reared in Southeast
Washington and lived here until he re-
signed from the dictatorship of the Ma
rine Band to become the leader of his
own famous organization. The story of
how Sousa first appeared on the stage
to render violin solo, dressed in Leader
Esputa's shirt, which had to be wrapped
around his youthful form, is an inter-
esting part of the biography of the
great band leader and only proves that
the success which is his did not com

circumnavigator5 of the globe and by ships that were blown by ac- cident into the southern attitudes.
 First Planned Expedition The first planned Antarctic proj- ect was the voyage of Pedro de Quiros, who in 1895 sailed south from Lima, Peru, to test the verac- ity of the map-makers and their Terra Australis." His two little ships got to 26 degrees south lati- tude, but there the commander , shifted his course, alarmed by the heavy ocean swells, and ended his adventure by discovering the New Hebrides.
 Captain James Cook got credit for having the first association with the true .Antarctica. In 1773 he crossed the Antarctic Circle, a feat never before accomplished and later dipped beyond it again, pene- trating past Fl degrees. His chief accomplishment, however, was a circuit of the southern ocean, and although he saw only few is lands he showed that the south- ern continent, if it indeed existed, was not connected with the other large geographical divisions. Cook was convinced, however, that there was continental land nearer the pole.

PAULINE FREDERICK
 NOW AT COLISEUM

Of Pauline Frederick's many mo- table screen triumphs, none give greater proof of her intense dra- matic power. than F. B. O.'s splen- did production, Her Honor The Governor" which is now showing at the Coliseum Theatre.
 Miss Frederick's role of the gov ernor of great state, tortured between her official duty and her love for her son, give ample oppor- tunity for displaying the emo- tional ability for which she is so famed, and the story progresses in series of increasingly gripping scenes to the final thrilling eli max. The impressive theme of the picture, whether woman s first duty is to her family or her career, is strikingly brought out In the development of the film and the final answer to the ques- tion will capture the interest of any audience.
 Chet Withey's direction lends. a power and dignity to the produc- tion, and the cast, including Tom Santchi. Kathleen Kirkham, Car rol Nye, Greta von Rue. Stanton Heck. Boris Karloff and Charles McHugh, provide excellent support. Doris Anderson adapted and sce- narized the picture from the orig inal story by Weed Dickison and Hyatt Daab.

You haven't seen nothin' if you haven't seen Hoot Gibson's latest western comedy. "The Denver Dude which opened an engage ment of two days at the Palace theatre here last night.
 Gibson is noted TOT his swift moving pictures. in which action comedy and thrills are skillfully intermingled, and "The Denver Dude" ranks among the best pro- auctions the popular star has ever done.
 Although western in it's locale and with much action typical of this type of picture, "The Denver Dude" is more than a western in the usual sense; of the word It ist;light comedy, with the in- imitable Hoot riding the crest of every scene and situation with his winning personality always beam ing through and his innate sense of comedy always foremost.
 Blanche Mehaffey makes an at tractive leading woman for Gib- son, and Glenn Fryon and s"Slims Summerville assist the star in lending comedy to the picture.

(EDlToR'S NOTE: This is the second of a series of stories on forthcoming expe- ditions of exploration into the Antarctic.)
 By JOHN L. COOLEY Associated Press Science Editor) Copyright, 1928, The Associated f. Press)
 NEW YORK, Aug. 1.--When the ancient geographers put. big white patch at the bottom of thei, maps and labeled it Terra Aus tralis," they made good guess. Although subsequent exploration revealed that they had assigned far too much space to land in the southern regions, the discovery oi Antarctica. Australia and the is- land groups off those continents substantiated the hypothesis that the lower lattitudes of the globe
 were by no means occupied only
 by water.
 Early sixteenth century maps extended the south polar lands as
 far north as the Tropic of Capri corn, but this theory was quickly
 dispelled by the voyagers who cir
 cled the tip of South America
 The age of discovery also cast dis
 credit on the pretty story about the four rivers of Paradise that
 flowed from a mighty mountain
 at the South Pole.
 Where Pole Is Strangely enough. men learned
 later that the pole actually was
 atop a 10,000-foot plateau in the
 heart of Antarctica, and so the savants of old got credit for an.
 other good guess There are nc
 rivers in the vast southern conti
 nent, but there are mighty high
 mountains.
 This fall and early winter three
 exploring parties, equipped wirh airplanes and the best scientific
 equipment obtainahle, will sail in
 to the pack ice that surrounds the
 Antarcticfland. Their purpose is
 to dispel more of the nists of un- certainty that still hide this utter most part of the. earth. Before them will be unusual opportunities for achievements, behind them, tht records of other sturdy adventur. Eers who in the course of the last -four centuries braved ice and storn and ocean to extend mans knowL ledge of his planet.
 Partly because it was made SC | inaccessible by nature and partly because civilization was always al |such distance, Antarctica was forced to wait for recognition l, even for discoyery-until the low, Fer Arctic regions had been fairly we'll explored.

 ENTHUSIASTIC VISITOR

An enthusiastic visitor to Ju- neau last week was Dr. Manch N. Garhart. head of the well known Garhart laboratories in Seattle. who was here on his first vacation in 10 years, and spent nearly a week in. and around Juneau, fish ing, hiking and taking motion pic lures.
 Dr. Garhart proved himself an expert anglsr, andscn both Thurs day and Friday of fast week, took as many fish as he could cary, about 150 in all from Montana Creek. close to the mining camp of Harry c. Watson. He also made trip toethe Salmon Creek dam where he spent a day fish ing with considerable success. Tho trout which he took from Mon- tana Creek, were cleaned by Dr. Garhart himself and put on ice in the Juneau Cold Storage company to be kept as a treat for the crew of the Northwestern on which he went to Skagway, last Saturday.
 Continuing to Kotchikan on the Northwestern, Dr. Garhart will stop off at Ketchikan, where he vii meet Gilbert Skinner. of the Skin- ner and Eddy company, and take a several days cruise on MT Skinner's yacht. During the yacht trip, Dr. Garhart intends to get in some good trolling before re- turning to Seattle.
