The void Of the northland held an
other mystery today in connection
with the Fox film expedition. a week
overdue in a round trip from Wise
man to Point Barrow. No word has
been received from Matt Neiminen,
pilot. and Richard Heyser. wireless
operator of the cabin plane search

Noel Wien Of Fairbanks and r. s.
Merrill Of Anchorahe. the relief

Norton sound late Friday. flew into
the void, so far as communications
were concerned.
Nieminen had tentatively planned
TO stop at Wainwright, 100 miles
southwest Of Point Barrow. 70 take
on additional gasoline. Heyser was
TO establish communication as soon
as possible after their arrival at
Barrow. He had a wireless transmit
ting set in the plane.

Charles @. Clarke, camera man.
Hart was to have returned for Ewing

country or have been damaged IN
landing at Barrow, as they were
equipped with wheels, not skis.

The Kalika dress-S6.75 anywhere

the featured articles in the ladies'
department Of the z. Manautou store.
A large line Of these famous dresses
has been ordered from the New York
manufacturer and will be on display
at the opening Saturday, March i.
The one-price idea, inaugurated BY
the Kalika manufacturers Of wom-
EMS dresses, has made this garment
extremely popular wherever econo-
my in buying prevails. The popular
price, 1915, Is maintained IN stores
in all narts Of the United States, and
the demand for these garments has
shown a steady increase In recent
years.
The manufacturers OF Kalika
dresses, instead Of adopting the age
old system of attempting to manu-
facture a complete lire covering the
entire range of fashion and price
have specialized upon . one-piece
article. Into the Kalika dress they
have incorporated highest workman

Their factories are engaged in the
manufacture Of this line only. and
Is a result they have attained a pre-
eminent position as manufacturers
Of a very popular priced article.
AZ consider the Kalika dresses the
greatest dress value in America"
Mr.. Manautou said. "They combine
quality with excellent workmanship,
and the fact the factory s~pecializes
in this one grade enables them 20
turn out a very superior article at
the minimum cost, and this low cost
is passed on to the customer. OF

poet and playwright, following the
recent production in Dresden Of his
version Of Hamlet" Hauptmann's
theory ID that the fourth act Of Ham

mutilated remains Of what Shake
speare wrote, and that the first actors
who played Laertes, dissatisfied with
the part, filched lines and scenes
which Shakespeare had given 70
Hamlet. Hauptmann gives back 70
the Dane the lines he thinks he
should have, and therefore puts
Laertes at the head Of the rebellion
against King Claudius. He has writ

ENGLIsH WoMEN DEFENDED

English women are greatly agi-

prominent Frenchman that women
are being deforme6 by English
sports and games. The critic had
been studying the fashionable French
dressmakers' catalogs with their
drawings of peculiar creatures with
hollow chests. curved figures, sharp
shoulder blades and crooked legs.
They shocked him. he said, and he
added that as these drawings were
used BY English dressmakers as a
general fashion guide the English
rirls must like them. E~nglishmen
have replied that the pictures were
not those Of the real woman athlete

liberty taken BY French fashion art

BOREALIS FOR
SOUTHERN SKY
Equipment Weighing
5 Tons Casts In
tense Ray


NEW YORK. TIA huge protector
Tor producing an artificial aurora
Doreails Of colossal size is being
built in Brooklyn.
Designed as an illumination fea-
ure Of the Shrin1rs' convention in
iiami, Fla, May / to 3, the appa-
ratus consists Of u 62-inch high in
tensity searchlight that casts a light
beam Of 1,400, 100000 candle power.
This ray Is broken into seven indr-
vidual beams by prisims that form
the aurora fan. The flicker and
drift Of the famous northern lights
~ simulated by fitting the prisms,
which are controlled BY a motor.
Color effects are obtained by pass
ing the rays through lenses of va
rious hues.
The entire aurora is slowly ro-
tated so that the observer sees q fan
Of light that opens and closes. Pre-
liminary measurements show that
the beams penetrate beyond the
earth's atmospheric strata and are
visible at great distances.
Many scientists now believe that
natures spectacular phenomenon, is
caused Dy material eJected from the
sun during the severe solar storms.
Some of the cast off particles ulti-
mately reach the earth's upper at
mosphere where. at a height Of from
30 20 100 miles, they glow as an
electrical discharge.
The equipment for reproducing the
northern lights on southern skies
will weigh about five tons. The
great intensity Of its beam is OBJ
tanned by squeezing "a horsepower of
energy into a tiny cup Of carbon,
which then gives off a dazzling va
por having a temperature Of 5000
degrees Fahrenheit.
Behind the intense spot Of light
Is a five-foot mirror, ground to opti-
81 accuracy. which amrlifies the bril-
lance Of the small source Of illum-
ination into the great beam that is
cast upon the sky.
