COUPLE WH|Ri
 INTO ROMANCE

ALBANY. July 31.-A dizzy romance" led to young Albany people to the altar when Cora Crowley and Edward Gokey, ap- piled for marriage license and admitted that they met on a merry-gc-round two years ago, and had been going around" to- gether ever since.
 Cora, who is fifteen years old, took her mother with her when she and her merry.go-round sweetheart went after their li-, cense, and the mother said that both parents consented to the marriage. Cora and Edward, the latter being twenty-threc years old, went to carnival at Mid city Park here two years ago, but they went separately, each bent on having good time all alone.
 They got on the merry-go- round for joy ride, and there they met. Deciding that it would be better to have partner for future visits to the carnival, they started their romance. The we'd ding will be held in St. Joseph's Church here within the next few days.

 The ice-cap is believed to ex- tend down to the sea at nearly all points. It terminates generally in towering, unscaleable ice cliffs from which break huge bergs, coy- ering the ocean with white moun- tains and closely packed ice that hold ships at bay.
 Parts of the coast are more &C., cessible than others. and it is from two such points that the three expeditions purpose to oper- ate. A glance at the map shows two great indentations or gulfs- one, Ross Sea, opposite New Zea-

J. Barney Sherryago. when nickel odians were just beginning to sell tickets, a far-sighted producer startled such film fans as there were In those days by making a feature version of the popular Broadway play, Rallies, the Anna teur Cracksman." Precedent was thrown into the ash heap. all cau- ton in the matter of production expense was ignored, and whole reel of celluloid. thousand feet, was risked on the venture. The producer even signed stage ac- tor to play the title role at what was then tho top starring salary of the movies, S10 a day. J Barney Sherry was the actor and he need- ed the money very much--it was midsummer and the theatres were closed77or. he would not have risk ed his professional standing by dabbling in a form of entertain mont then scorned by all "legiti- mate" players.
 Indeed, Sherry himself thought so little of motion pictures that he never had seen one up to the time he played at Rallies. When 'Raf- fles the Amateur Cracksman" was completed he looked at it, of course, and saw himself as the star of the first motion picture he had eyer seen. He was agreeably surprised.
 Not that 1t appealed to him as an art.
 We never spoke of what we were doing as art during the making of that picture" he said, and I don't believe even heard onyone in the company use the word 'drama.'

BALD MATE WHO SPURNS
 WIG IS SUED

SAN FRANCISCO. July 31.- This suit will either be won, or lost by hair--or the lack of several of them.
 Mrs. Ruth B. Moore, 162 Idora Avenue, in the Superior Court, before Judge Thomas F. Graham, took the stand in her suit for separate maintenance against her husband, Chester D. Moore. head of drayage business. and testi- fled:
 My husband was cruel to me" .a
 Specifically, Mrs. Moore testi- fled the act of cruelty to be this:
 Last year the Moores were liv- in Chicago. The husband is somewhat bald. Mrs. Moore de- cided, on her own testimony, that he would Hook betterr with a toupee, wig. She ordered one for him. They left Chicago. She borrowed the money from her mother to pay for the toupee.
 And Moore refused to wear it!
 Harry l. Stafford, MoOre's att torney, at this point declared he wanted the courts permission to have the original complaint in the. case amended. He said:
 "The wife should be charged with cruelty. No bald-headed man should wear a wis. Look at mel"
 Mrs. Mary Burke of Los An geles, mother of Mrs. Moore, cor roborated her daughters testi- mony.

PROSPECTING NOW
 ON THE UPGRADE

Unusual interest in prospecting is apparent throughout the Inter- flor this year, says A. A. Bennett, local aviator, in an article in a recent issue of the Fairbanks News Miner. There are said to be more prospectors in the field now than for several years past and it is highly probable, Bennett believes, that some new strikes will be made within the next few months. Men who have been at Eagle 10 years without trying to find new placers suddenly got tho prospecting bug this year and are out working now" the aviator said.
 A new strike is reported 35 miles above Wiseman but no de- tails have been received here. Likely looking prospects have bccn uncovered and 60 claims have al- ready been staked.
 While flying to Chicken creek the other day Bennett say about DO men in two polling boats going mp the Squaw river, north of Ram part. The boats were heavily lloaded, indicating that the pros- pectors contemplated a stay of con- siderable length. The aviator flew almost to tho head of the river but did not observe signs of previous workings.
 l High water, all over the Inter- iior is aiding miners, Bennett said The creeks are running full and 'even at camps where there is us- ually water shortage, such as the Iditarod, there is now more water than can be used. There is a lot of activity in mining way from the Canadian border to Mosquito creek and from all in- dications this should be a boom year" the flyer declared. Better ground is being opened lfp on Chicken creek and the camp is attracting many new residents. About ten persons have travelled from Fairbanks to Chicken this summer to get in on the ground floor and a like number have come from other points. There are now about GO persons in the camp. Jack Wade, the Charley river and Seventymile are showing a like activity. ~

 NEW YORK, July 31.-Down to the dead land that towers above the bottom of the world three bands of explorers sail in the next few months to pit the airplane against the defenses of Natures most formidable stronghold arctica.,
 Whether aircraft that can carry men across the oceans, across the Arctic wastes. even to the North pole, will surmount the barriers of gale and storm. ice and moun- tain, that have kept the south polar regions land of mystery will soon be determined by Comm Richard E. Byrd. Capt. Sir Hu- bert Wilkins, Comm. Douglas c. Jeffery, Royal Navy, retired. and their respective parties. Aviators have great faith in the modern plane, but they know that this task is the hardest ever assigned to it. Antarctic weather is the worst in the world.
 Byrd Expedition
 The Byrd expedition starts on it's s50O.000 venture about the mid- dle of August. Most of the 55 men and virtually all of the elab crate equipment will travel to Dur edin, New Zealand, aboard the barkentine Samson, although the commander himself plans to leave about month later. From New Zealand the explorers will steam across to the Bay of Whales. threshold to Antarctica on the Ross Sea ice barrier, there to es- tablish the basa of operations. They hope to reach this point by January 1, summertime in the Antarctic. s
 Wilkins Expedition
 The Wilkins expedition, smaller 'han Byrd's, plans to leave Cali fornia port in October. proceeding first to Panama, where it will board whaler for the long yoy- age. to Ross Sea-. where 1t, too, will start work. A whaling vessel will bring the little party north when it's work is over.
 Jeffery, a veteran of the last Shackelton expedition to Antarc- tica, sails south from New York n September, expecting to return in May He is chartering a ship.
 Something more sihap spirit Of adventure, more than desire to give the airplana ancther streIu- ous workout, is segsling these pio. neers into the most inhospitable region on the globe. The vast south polar continent, nearly as large as the United States and the mainland of Canada together, is the last great geographical chal- lenge to. science.

land; the other, Weddel Sea, across from South America.
 The Byrd and Wilkins parties plan to launch their aerial assaults from Ross Sea, or rather from the ice barrier that chokes more than half of that ocean arm. It was from this barrier that Amundsen and Scott started on their trip to the pole. Jeffery expects to at tack from the shore of Weddell Sea, and will therefore be across the continent from the other two leaders.
 Flight Zones
 The three zones of flight. as mapped in advance, will hardly overlap, if at all. Byrd plans to fly eastward over what is called King Edward VII Land; in addi- ton, of course, he will attempt a flight to the South Pole, which Amundsen and Scott reached after laborious sledge journeys.
 Sir Hubert proposes an eastward flight along the unmapped, unseen coast between Ross Sea and Gra- hams Land, the western boundary of Weddell Sea. He does not contemplate hop to the pole.
 Jeffery's effort will start from a base on the west coast of Ora hams Land. He plans to do his exploring eastward to Coats Land, which lies on the other side of Weddell Sea. He may also try a trip to the pole and across the continent to Ross Sea.
