Modern Portias Pout If Told to Eat Alone

LONDON, Aug. I4.-A group of London'ss attractive young Portias strongly objected when an at tempt was made to segregate them from the male lawyers at lunch time.
 The question came up at re- cent meeting of the Law Society It was pointed out that 20 young women have just been added to the growing list of women practic- ing law. As result many of them were obliged to eat their lunches at the same tables with men. a situation which the society solemnly discussed.
 The suggestion was made that tables decked with flowers should be marked For Ladies Only" but the project was nipped in the bud by the ladies themselves.

MAIN EVENT ! FOR SMOKER
 IS ARRANGED
Committee Announces that
 Brown and Butler Will Fight for Heavy Title

Announcement was made today that Sinclair Brown and Ford But Ter have definitely agreed to fight in the main event in the Moose Smoker. to be held in Elks Hall, September 1.
 The heavyweight championship of Alaska will be at stake in this bout.' At the time Butler was heavyweight champion of the Ter ritory, he and Brown fought a draw in Juneau. Since then But Ter was defeated by Freddy Gull len, but never by an Alaskan, while Brown has the distinction of being the only Alaskan who has wrested a draw from him.
 Brown Is Challenger
 With the retirement of Cullen some, time ago the title logically goes back to Butler, while Brown will be the man who will attempt to take the crown. Both men are in good condition. and weigh about ITO pounds at the present time.
 Butler has been working with the Deep Seas Salmon Company at Port Althorp since early sum- mer, and arrived in Juneau yes terday Both men appear fairly confident of winning. although the fans will be in the dark until the fight is under way. for neither has seen any action in the ring for several years.
 Final arrangements for the La- Dor Day Smoker are being com pleted and a good card is expect ed to be ready when the cash GUS toners take their seats in the Elks Hall two weeks from next Saturday.
 As soon as couple more pre- liminaries are arranged the com plete. card will be announced A couple of hot contests have al- ready been arranged, one of which is said to be a fight between two well-known men, with ."grudge" and should prove of much inter lest.

Copyright, 1928. Associated Press
 NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-One of the hardest tasks confronting Con- mander Richard E. Byrd when he started active preparations for his Antarctic expedition was the se- lection of the personnel. More than 15,000 applications for jobs of one sort or another were re- eeived, but all except a few of these volunteers were disappointed. Byrd had room for only 55 or 60 men.
 The commanders first choice, of course, was the late Floyd Ben- nett, his companion and pilot on the North Pole flight. Bennett and Byrd had talked over the Antarctic project on the return voyage from Spitzbergen and had worked together in developing plans. Bennett's death from pneumonia last spring deprived the expedition of an enthusiastic friend and an able airman whose place could never quite be filled.
 As the list now standsy the pi- lots who will fly on the Anatarc- tic trip with Byrd are Bernt Bal chen, Harold I. June, and Dean c. Smith. Balchen returned to the United States with Byrd after the North Pole trip and was reliel pilot on the America's trans-At- lanttc flight. It was Balchen who brought the big plane safely to the oceans surface on the French coast after the aviators had sought in vain a landing at Lebourget.
 June is a petty officer in the navy and a pilot in the naval air service He is stationed atgHamp- ton Roads, but has obtained leave for the Antarctic adventure. With Byrd and Balchen he will prob- ably be in the plane that attempts to reach the South Pole.
 Smith, the last pilot chosen, is veteran air mail flier. He join- ed that service in 1920 and was one of the men who made the first night flight with mail between Hadley Field, N. J., and Chicago, two years ago.
 The fourth skipper of the party, barring Commander Byrd, who is also pilot as well as navigator -is Frederick c. Melville. His assignment is to guide the expe- dition ship Samson from New York
