MILLION DOLLAR EXPLORATIONS

The expeditions to the South Pole, headed by Com
mander Richard Z. Byrd, will cost million dollars
perhaps more, but that should neither surprise nor
shock The expedition has a good chance of re-
turning to the civilized world with facts worth far
than million dollars to science Even if it
brings back not fact and misses the Pole entirely,
the expedition will have solved problems of supply,
morale and communication worth the cost of the ad-
venture.

radio uses in its Jump around the world among
the probable results of Byrd's brave dash. Weather
is another matter close to the hearts of all of and
for weather facts the nations of the world spend mil
lions annually. Byrd and his men expected to
bring back data on weather which will be of nesti-
mable value Meteorologists are eager to know more
about the Polar storms that exert an influence
large part of the worlds climate.
New chapters in the earths history also will be
sought by Byrds biologists. The movement of the
continents is of geology's most engaging problems
today. Are the present masses of land constant or
have they drfted here and there? If Commander
Byrd find enough land free of ice to Scrape up
rocks and fossils geology read in their
red sides interesting story of earth development.
Besides there is the chance that the rocks may give up
valuable minerals
Never has Polar expedition been organized with
so many things to find out and this is the most
fully planned dash toward the worlds southern
tremity ever conceived. Even the amount of sunlight
has been measured and artificial ultraviolet rays will
be soaked into members Of the expedition they
need it.

WHY GOLF Is POPULAR

Inc ancient Scotch game of golf, once exclusively
the pastlme Of the idle rich has become enormously
There Is hardly country that does not boast at
least one golf course; in the neighborhood of big
city one cannot drive two miles without passing two or
three of them.
number of reasons have been advanced for the
game sudden rise in popularity. 1t is fine game
good exercise and excellent sport and we Americans
are an outdoors people; yet have hunch that the
real reason for the games growth in public favor has
yet to be made manifest.
10 our way of looking at it. that reason is simply
this
1t gives the great American male chance to dress
up IN the gaudlest colorS he can possibly desire
throughout the whole course of his normal life
the American man is compelled to appear in drab raj
ment Whle his wife goes about in hues rivalling
those of the peacock. he contents himself with blue
browns and grays. He may pick out a flaming neck
ue, OF course and in recent months brightly coored
shrts have come into Style but the main articles of his
dress continue to be subdued and colorless
NOW. While men pretend that they do not like
brght colors, they secretly yearn for them Through
all recorded time down to the present era men have
dotted on gay, not to say frilly, raiment. century
and a half ago Wne-coOred knee breeches of velvet
blue satin walstcoats and yellow topcoas with brass
buttons the size of saucers constituted modest every
day garb for the average man. About the time of the
war OF 1872 or such a matter something happened
and the male toned down his clothing. But under
meath, we suspect there has remained the vearning
for the sartorial splendor of vanished day
OroH gives man an to CRAFTY this SUD-
pressed desire What if he does have to confine him
self TO grays browns and blues while at work? He
can light out for the golf and don purple socks
Whlte knlckerS, Wldly-checkered sweater and green
sunshade without causing a ripple of comment There
Is no limit to his range of choice. He can outdo the
peacock and the rainbow. His wife if she PLAYS with
him. Is apt to appear subdued and quiet in comparison
And that we submit, is the chief reason for the
popularity of golf
