@PJ-Roald Amundsen. Lieutenant
Lief Dietrichsen and Rene Guilbaud,
who left Tromsoe, Norway, Monday

overdue at Kings Bay today. There
were many rumors concerning them,
but all lacked confirmation.
One report was that the filters had
continued on to the north Of North

searching for the survivors of the
dirigible Italia there. IL was thought
probable. however. that the airmen
might have gone to Advent Bay in
stead Of Kings Bay and established
q base there. This is to the south Of
Kings Bay and it was likely that they
could reach there without Kings Bay
being informed.
Rumors in Oslo that Amundsen
and his companions had found Cen

when neither the Norwegian govern
ment nor the French or Italian lega-
tion nor Amundsen's family could
confirm them. Radio stations in
Spitzbergen and northern Norway

cation with Mobile through the base

KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY JOSEPH JASTROW.

dressed man has his hat blown of
or sat upon, you find it funny, accord
ing to the one view because of the
contrast of the rest of his dignified
appearance and the hat; or accord
ing to the other view you laugh mainly
because 1t isn't your hat or your plight.
Glowing Is a pattern of humor
closer to the Freudian view, but both
are true. We enjoy take-off on
matters and situations and persons
that are apt to be taken too seriously;
and we enjoy it the more if it subtly
compliments us. The joke must more
or less be on the other fellow, not
on us. So the device of playing the
fool is true to form.
AS an example of clowning that
fails may be cited the habit of some
auctioneers to keep the buyers amused
by weak clowning Since the auction
eer wishes also to impress his audience
with the value Of what he is selling
and poses as an expert, this is likely to
injure his sale. The clowning that
fails either makes fool of him who
tries it or raises the suspicion that he
is trying to fool the audience. 1t is
safe to play the fool only when yau
are sure your audience knows your
real worth. One of the best clowns
I know is a member of my college
class who has kept 1t up all his life.
In Kipling's phrase, I'VE know what
the jest is worth; and we, his class
mates, know what a good fellow and
keen lawyer our fellow clown really Is.

WHY WE Do WHAT WE DO
BY MEHRAN X. THOMSON.

A newspaper Is a cross-section of
humanity. 1t is living history. If the
events of the past as told in the his
tory books arouse interest and curiosity,
how much more should the events of
our own day stir us to interest. They
do. And that is why we devour every
edition of our favorite paper.
We read newspapers because they
make it worth while to do so. A good
newspaper is unquestionahly the best
bargain obtainable on any and every
day of the year.. Where can you get
so much for or cents? The raw
paper running UP as high as 40 or
more pages is worth more than what
you pay.
1t is not, however, the economic mo-
tive that prompts us to buy and read
newspapers.
We are all endowed with curiosity.
We are eager to know what our neigh
bors are doing We look down on some
and We look up to others; the papers
bring US the good news of how we stand
relative to them. News of disaster and
misfortune may move us to tears and
to giving generously to relieve the VIC
tins of a shipwreck, tornado, a flood
or earthquake. The real unconscious
thrill comes in realizing how safe we
are in the midst of all this insecurity
and distress.
We read newspapers because they
are readable. We have the tlated feel
ing of being served. For few cents we
engage the services of expert news
gatherers, who know how TO assemble

Are Women Snobhish2

It is a great mistake to keep COM
pairing women with men, and I'm of
the opinion that women are unwise
when they invite this, as they do when
they let tailor and barber make them
resemble men. The two brands of hu-
manity are different, and there's no
substitute for either.
For this reason you can hardly apply
the term "snobbish" to women, for it's
the men who are inclined to that fault,
even when it's rare among them. When
it comes to women, there may be some
sort of superciliousness, but still you
would not be SO likely to speak of a
woman as snob. That word is usually
in the masculine gender.
Nevertheless there is a quality like
snobbishness which women possess, and
I'm not here to boast it. We may call
1t superiority or uppishness, and it may
show itself in the Stuck-up nose and
elevated eyebrows. Whatever it Is,
there's no place for it in this busy
world.
If women were ever of the semi
snobbish variety, they are rapidly re-
covering from the complaint. For there
are things about Our life today which
put Snobbery on the blink. Our grand
mothers may have gotten away with
the trick of being stuck up but women
don't attempt to work it nowadays.
Ballot and business and bob have
done great deal to make women feel
that they are part of the rough-and-
ready world. not something or some
body above it. When ladies lolled about
parlors, wore gloves and wells, and did
nothing more thrilling than house.
work. they could pretend to be different
from the rest of the world. They had
their own way of doing things, their
own favorite recipes. but girl can't
make much of a hit with the world
merely by canning peaches.
When the era of flapperdom came
along, women found 1t convenient to
can lot of their former domesticity.
and then it was that they began to
look about in the world. They had
never been democratic, but now they
had to- be. There were other pebbles
on the same beach.
I'm glad that women have braced up
and made good. They have shown that
they had the stuff In them all right.
But do hope that they won't carry
the democracy business too far, for
there are such things in life as good
taste, refinement, and other things with
the meringue on them.
We can't leave it to the men to make
the world a parlor for they are more
inclined to turn it into smoking car
so that it's the woman folks who'll have
to put the finishing touch to life.
This may seem little like snobbish-
ness, but there's difference between
carrying your head high and merely
turning up your nose.

A bead necklace that is not of genuine
stones Is worn either because it COM
pletes a costume or because it gives a
note of needed color. 1t may be hand
some in itself, but since it Is not of
intrinsic value it must rely upon its
novelty, its close reproduction of genu-
Inc gems or its charm Of tone. When
worn in conjunction with a costume
which it suits perfectly, it may have a
beauty comparable in its appeal to the
eye to that of the real thing"
1t is not necessary for beads to be
replicaS of the genuine to be worn with
handsome gowns, but unless they are,
they must be chosen with particular
discrimination, in order to have the
perfect accord that supplies the reason
for their use.
II woman Is at a loss to find in
shops Just what she wishes for any
particular gown, she can buy the beads
and string them herself. Strange as it
may seem, this costs more than buying
beads already made into necklaces. The
reason for this is that the demand for
any specific sort of bead is so fluctuating
that the stock does not turn over"
quickly. yet to be adequately stocked
bead houses have to keep wide aSsort-
merit One of the risks of the bead
trade is its fickleness.
The advantage in stringing ones own
necklaces is that there can be individu-
atty. The woman can have a necklace
unlike any one else This in itself is
worth considering. The chain can be
made at the suggestion of the cou-
fourier, who will then advise as to the
type and tone Of beads to assemble.

to separate large beads of color and
are found only in the higher grade of
necklaces. It is customary to have them
between beads OF genuine stones.
Incidentally, fewer of these latter
beads are required, but this is not the
matter of first Importance in necklaces
of real gems. The point Is that these
crystals act as foils for the other gems.
When stringing beads make knots be-
tween them. This is done In the neck

the jewels from rubbing against each
other and thereby dulling the polish.
Even when the crystal disks are included
the knots are not missing. Therefore a

Wearying of the days tasks.
Ordering the affairs of everyday life.
Rebelling against the restraints of

Regretting the mistakes of yesterday
and the day before.
Yielding to feelings of inferiority.
These occupations spell worry, and
make up the tumult of living.
Something like 90 per cent of the
mental energy of the average adult is
wasted in jumping from one worry to
another. If mental hygiene ever as

lives of men and women, 1t will first
of all have to eradicate a lot of phycho-
logical microbes-worries.
The days work ought to be an en-
thusiasm-a psychological somewhere
that has no clock or calendar. Next to
the worry of having no work at all is
that of being tired of the days work
before it has begun. Vocational guild
ance may In the future help people in
choosing the proper work.
The simplest facts of life are often
confusing. Why should person worry
about the weather, or about the status
quo of the self-complacent ignorant, the
univerSality of graft, the babblings of
the ubiquitous uplifters, the rawlings of
social reformers who have nothing to

Who was it, or what was it, that sat
near the place of Sir Frederick Carne
Rasch in the British House of Commons
just prior to the Easter Parliamentary
recess of 1905 and to at least three
members of the Commons appeared to
be Sir Frederick Carne RaSch in the
flesh?
Sir Frederick could not have been
there, for he had an attack of influenza
which had badly disordered his nervous
system. His condition had become so
grave that he had been unable to attend
Parliament, although he was particu-
larly anxious to be present on the eve
ming sitting Immediately preceding the
recess so that he might support the
government on an important measure.
Undoubtedly Sir Frederick was at his
home that evening. Nevertheless three
other men are reputed to have seen him
in the House. One of them was Sir
Gilbert Parker, the noted novelist. A
second was the Right Hon. Sir Henry
Campbell ll-Bannerman, who rose so high
that he became prime minister. The
third was the Right Hon. Sir Arthur
Divett Hayter, some time lord of the
treasury and later financial secretary in
the war Office.
To the average mind the circum-
stances of this episode are so bizarre
that they will be challenged. But in
view of the prominence of the parties
they are legitimate food for thoughtful
consideration
The question is. did an impostor i'm
personate Sir Frederick during the eve
ming session, or did his intense desire
to be present lead to the projection of
his personality with such vividness that
he seemed to these other members to be
in attendance?
The statement of Sir Gilbert Parker
Is the most pertinent, since he knew
Sir Frederick well, they being friends.
Knowing of Sir Frederick's illness,
Sir Gilbert was astonished that Spring
evening when he looked in the direction
of his friends seat Tin the House of
Commons the members occupy long
benches and, If the attendance is not
full, may not sit in their exact places
