BY GEORGE d. CRISSEY
United Press STAFF Correspondent


u ANSAS CITY, Sept. 27.-A
AA Sister of Mercy told the
United Press today that her
prayers had a part in bringing
William Edward Hickman into
the faith, and that she had hopes
for the soul of the slayer Of little
Marion Parker.
While the Sister rested content
with having saved that soul
through baptism and confirmation
into the Catholic church, a blood
brother Of the nun was fighting
to the limit of his legal power to
save the life of The Fox"
Sister Catherine Louise in a
Kansas City convent still offers
prayers for Hickman, although he
now sits in his San Quentin cell
a repentant communicate of the
church.
And Jerome E. Walsh, Kansas
City attorney and brother Of
sister CaCnerlne Louise, SClll nghtS
on.
DAILY prayers were offered by
~ Sister Catherine Louise
from the day it was first learned
that Hickman had killed and dis
membered the little Los Angeles
girl he had kidnapped.
Hickman was confirmed last
Sunday at San Quentin by Arch
bishop Hanna and is in daily
prayer and consultation-looking
forward to the arrival of Oct. 19
when, unless there is an unex-
pected intervention, he will be
hanged.

Ihe last contingent OF Lne e&pe-
dition is about 10 shove of toward
the Antarctic, reaching New zea-
land early in November and then
heading straight for the ice barrier,
our base on the Bay of Wales.
Our expedition is made purely for
the advancement of science and
the prestige of the United States.
We are not going to make a spec
tacular airplane dash.
The unexplored area in the Ant
arctic is as large as Europe and
Australia combined. 1t is in the
sinister clutches of an ice age, which
has killed the life and luxurious
vegetation that once existed. It is
the coldeSt and most forbidding re-
gion on the face of the earth.
Mysteries Face Explorers
What geological phenomenon
caused the Antarctic Continent to
be the most rugged, mountain
ridden land on the globe? What
caused the vast plateau two miles
high, of which the South Pole seems
to be the center?
What is the extent of this plateau,
and why is it so fiat and so high? Is
it true that the winds descend at
this point to spread out and down.

miles away, to gain cyclonic We
locity, which sometimes reaches 100
miles an hour in speed, and which
blows in some of the areas with an
average velocity for the year of fifty
miles an hour?
These terrible hurricanes, which
come up suddenly and sometimes
last for days, are of such violence
that the whole climate of the south
ern hemisphere is affected by them.
Surely, it is of some benefit to
science to investigate these phe-
nomena, and that is why we are

kites, the upper reaches of the at

Oour whole effort, from begin

scientific We hope, nevertheless, 10
be the first to plant the American
flag at the South Pole.
Unfortunately, we leave a serious
deficit behind us--$200 900 in round
figures. That is much more than
we expected and is entirely due to
the impossibility of estimating in
advance the cost of reconditioning

In both instances the figures far
exceeded our original calculations
Because both of these ships are on
their way, most people appear to
believe that our financial require

tions have slackened perceptibly
since their departure.
1t is a mighty uncomfortable feel
ing to leave on the mission that lies
ahead of us with the knowledge that
a great many of our bills are not
paid.
Our cash requirements will come
to $750,0O0. Shackleton's expedition
came to approximately $500,000 at
time when the value of a dollar
was far greater than it now is.

 Today, as in the centuries long, buried with their dead. the chief problem is water conservation.
 The region has q scant supply of rainfall, stretching eastward from the Colorado river through Arizona, Utah and New Mexico. There, archeologists say. among the des- crt plains and steep-walled valleys, tine basket weavers lived 2.00o years before the Christian era. Later came the cliff dwellers, to leave bat tered ruins of a civilian tion un- futhomed despite the relics of its art.
 To the cliff dwellers, whose fa- tled wealth Spanish explorers tried to find in 154l. Is given credit for the staunch construction of numer- GUS check dams still functioning as planned by primitive engineers. Built of rock and reaching from fank to bank across the narrow rivulets and streams, they retard the flow of water and build up tiny reservoirs as a guard against months of drought
 Whatever the prosperity of the past or the importance of the region as the seat of a forgotten inha bita- ton. its present utilization for slin- ing or agricultural purposes is not extensive, owing partly to it's re- moteness from the main transconti- mental routes. It Is replete with
