houses. Rowling storms often toss ed the floes on which they camped.
 Finally. Cape Sabine-and there they found only 15 days supply of food. Altogether. they had GO days supply On that and little more, Greedy and his mon livcd-an died for 10 months.
 Chewei Seal Skins 'The polar bear we shot really saved us" Greedy says. We got one or two seals, 50 or 40 foxes and from the sea W hat we called sea lice, about the size of ants. Before long, we were chewing seal skins and sometimes a lichen.
 For 125 days we never saw the sun. For ITO days the temperature never rose above freezing. We were there 29o days and our clothes wore out"
 Keeping the men from going crazy was ono of Lieutenant Greely's big gest jobs. To do this. he lectured nightly on various subjects, ordered birthday ''cclebrations" for each man. conducted patriotic exercises anything to take their minds off the eternal darkness, the lonely cold. They prayed, too. And yet this young officer who conducted re- ligious services for his men ordered a man shot-for the unpardonabl ble crime of stealing from the fast fail- ing food supply, which was strictly rationed.
 Tears filled the old veterans eyes as he told of the IT men who died -one by one-without complaint.
 Feet Froze Solid
 There was Joseph Ellison," he said. His hands and feet were frozen solid on hunting trip. He begged us to kill him his fin gers and feet fell off. ] gave him double rations and the other starv- ing men were content, although each day of double ration for Ellison hastencd the day of their deaths. Two more were still to die, but FL lison still lived when the rescue par ty came. He died in Greenland too weak to stand surgical operation .'
 When the rescue party finally reached them in June, 1884. all but one of the seven survivors were too weak to stand. But the records of scientific observations. which they had been sent into the Arctic to get had been carefully kept until 40 hours before the rescue. Greedy recovered and passed on to an honorable military career. i Despite his advanced age. he is still active and alert, having recently completed a book Polar Regions in the Twentieth Century"
 He is ono of the two survivors Of the expedition now alive.

Tragic Story of Creely's Party
 Hints Possible End of Others

Washington. April :1-As the eyes of the world turned on that blizzard-s swept little island off La brador where the Bremen and her gallant crew landed after the first successful flight from Europe, the mind of an old man in Washington rested there for a moment and then turned to terrible but still familiar r scenes of a half century ago.
 No man ever survived greater hardships in the frozen north than Mai. Gen Adolphus w. Greedy and his Arctic scientific expedition of 1Ss1-1SS4. Marooned on the ice when two relief ships failed to reach them, they fought for life through the winter of 1Ss3-S4. One by one, 17 of the .5 members of the party starved to death and when q rescue party finally reached tllom on June co, 1884, all but one of the seven survivors. including Greedy, were too weak to stand.
 Grcely's historic experience and that of the Bremen give q hint of what may have. been the fate Of Nungcsser, and Coli and other missing flyers who started from Europe. Had the storm-t tossed Bremen landed in the interior a few hundred miles away, instead of under the welcome rays of the Greenly Island lighthouse. Colonel Fitzmaurice, Captain koehl and Baron voa Huenefcld might have starved in the frozen wastes.
 Plane Could Have Saved Them But Greedy made his trip into the Arctic before the day of airplanes and radio. Had there been such aids he says, radio appeal could have brought an airplane to them from Greenland in less than a day As II was, they spent three years on the ice.
 T was young lieutenant them says General Greedy. now S4 years old. With e4 men, l was sent to within 500 miles of the North Pole 10 establish one Of chain of II international circum polar stations for scientific observations. At the outset, we took away the 'farthercst north record that the British had held for 800 years. Ours was the most northerly station in the world Greely's party had provisions for a year, but two years rolled by and no relief ship was able to reach them. The ice crushed one vessel near Cape Sabine, WreCking it.
 In the summer Of 1883. Greedy de- cided to make for Cape Sabine, 600 miles south, where there was sup posed to be a cache of food. Over the ice Hoes and snow they went on sleds. At night, they built snow

federal appropriations which will make the ranch
raise more cantaloupes, the subdivision grow more
grass and bungalows, which will give city real estate
a water supply at federal expense, and which will
give industries their power with government subsidy.
Governor Young Of California says that Los
Angeles and the other southern cities must have
more water for domestic and industrial use, and are
reaching out for it through Boulder dam to the
Colorado River. It is long arm which reaches
Boulder dam by curving through Washington D. c.,

Mr. Hearst being for it. The People Of the midwest

It is fraud in its flood protection for the Imperial

THE DOLLAR THAT STAYS HOME
The Secretary Of Chamber Of Commerce in

The Secretary Of Chamber Of Commerce in a
little city in Mississippi decided to learn what
happens to dollar bill in the course of year. He
accordingly took three dollar bills and pasted slip to
each notifying the recipient of the bill to check it
whenever it passed out of his hands.
These dollar bills went the rounds and at the
end of year the local banks turned them to the
Secretary with the records of their travels 1t
found that each passed through some 200 hands.
Following is about the travalogue story that
each one of these dollar bills might have told:
After left you went directly to the grocers
till My visit there was brief however, for farmer
entered the store with crate of eggs and the
grocer turned me over with others in exchange. I
thought was going to get little trip to the coun~
try but never left town. for my farmer friend took
me down the street and turned me over to the cloth
ing dealer
i couldn't take the time now to tell you all about
the fine people visited during the year. but I re-
member that one was the minister, another work
ingman helping to build the new pavement through
the CITY, another school teacher who received me in
exchange for work in instructing some of the chill
dren OF our town. ! also visited doctor, lawyer
and man working on the new community house.

TRIBUNE OPPOSES BOULDER DAM
Frorn the CHICAGO TRIBUNE. April 26:

From the CHICAGO TRIBUNE, April 26:
'The New York editorial writer of Mr.. William
Randolph Hearst Of San Francisco and San Simeon
ranch California, suggests that THE TRIBUNE
has been trcked by the power trust into opposing
the Boulder dam real estate steal.
ut is not prudent or wise to charge improper
motive against those who are innocent when one is
oneself so easily convicted on the same Indictment
The difference in the editorial attitude of THE
TRIBUNE and the Hearst papers is easily under
stood without implying sOrdid motives to the oppos
tion to Boulder Dam.
Boulder dam is a project to tax the rest of the
country to benefit California It is quite natural
that Mr. Hearst, Californias native son. should try
to benefit his native state and should look upon the
project through rosy glasses On the other hand, it
the organ Of the great middle west, should resent
this grab, which proposes as beginning to take
over hundred million dollars from its taxpayers
1T is altogether natural that THE TRIBUNE
would oppose this raid Oh the treasury to create
rgated land tO deprecate the value of crops further
and to manufacture electric power at government
cost to he sold at enormous expense to build up
dlstry ia California and compete under the manu-
facturers in the middle west who are not benefiting
from a government subsidy.
These reasons would be explcable to any one
who would examine them.

Vine Planted Before

The granddaddy Of all American

it was planted several years before

"When Father Junipero Sierra
planted a sprig Of grapevine at San
Gabriel mission in 177l," the writer
points out, "he planted not only the
first grapevine in California, bat
also the roots Of a vast industry.
The benign Franciscan padre could
hardly be expected to know that
from that little shoot Of grapevine
would sprout an industry worth
$3.50, 100000 with employment for
100000 persons.
"Father Serra's original vine stiu

There are days devoted to recognition of the
service rendered by men in uniform who rallied
to the call of the county in times Of distress Fitting
and proper are these days, but of more true mo-
rlent or significance than Mothers Day, May 13
It is day established to honor millions OF
heroines whose love, unselfishness, and devotion
have given us about all we have in life that is worth
while. It is day when every man should recognize
the debt he owes to his mother-a debt that can be
repaid only in the currency in which the value was
received namely love, unselfshness and devotion
Indeed it never can be repaid in full, but we may
at least reconize its existence we may strive to make
her coming years more happy and more comfortable
But let it be more than merely day. when we
observe thoughtessly fine and lofty custom. Let
it be rather day when we rededicate ourselves to
the task of living up to her expectations Let each
son and daughter strive to become the man or wo-
man she dreamed they would become. We know OF
no more lofty standard toward which the ordinary
faulty mortal may strive We also know Of not bet

Comments on Britons'

notices chiefly in our national
makeup from the people he left q

frankly: "You're oil alike, as like
as two chips. There is similarity
OF faces and expression, of occupa.
ton and idling. I find less ipdi-
viduality among people here at

the fact that SO many of you play
some sort of game Is responsible
for a general lack Of character.
Games don't develop anything but
your muscles. They cratDp the
character, I'm sure.
SIN times gone By I can recall
nine out of ten Of my fa.her'S
friends who were real characters,
individuals. They had a zest in
life and blazed their own trail,
whether II was footpath or high
road. II was their own way OF
