 NEW YORK. Aug GA barrcn continent oi lee. crossed in places by high mountain ranges, swept by the severesl gales and frozen by the coldeF weather on earth such Is Artarctica, the forpiddea land 10 which Comm. Richard l.. Byrd. Capt Sir Hubert Wilkins and Doug,as George Jef'ery are taking theis rlanes for thrss ser- arate recannaissances by air.
 This south polar waste, known so iippcrfectlyi that even it's coast lines cannot be accurately map- ped, offers striking contrasts to tho mose familiar Arctic regions. In the first place, of course, it is land. and although it's terrain IS all bat completely buried under an ice blanket, the continentafiiy of the mass is now generally ae- ceptcd. In the Arctic. as every one knows. there are many size able islands, but the northern ocean dominates the top of the world.
 Game Plentiful
 Birds and animals are fairly plentiful in the far north; Antarc- .ica itself, on the other hand, sus tains almost no life. although ;hn waters and cliffs along it's coast are rich in seals, sea elephants penguins and other polar fauna.
 There are Towering plants in he Arctic, too..four hundred spec ies of them; but in only one spot on Antarctica has this advanced vegitatioa been reported, although several varieties of moss als found.
 The Arctic summer is coalpara- lively mild, whereas the moan Antarctic temperature for Decen- her and January. the warmest months in that part of the world is nearly always below freezing.
 Vegetable, animal and bird lna is rather abundant on nearby is- Hands, but the three exploring par ties wir not concern themselves with these more friendly neigh bors of the big white continent

America is known for its advertis-

the question most of us will agree that
the roadside landscape is not the place

limited commercial districts.

Connecticut and Maryland have
shown us one way of going about it.
This way lies in roadside tree planting.

Mr.. Pack, who Is associate editor of

have believed ii possible there had been
two arrests made by park police OF
persons who had torn cherry blossom
branches from the famous trees on Po-

II was astonished to read about the

are people who have so little regard for
the beauties of nature.
