and the trailer viii be flexible sledge.
The flexible SiedgeS are much lighter,
and on the way home the heavy sledges
may be abandoned IN order to travel
faster. Brakes are also being made for
the doble-ended sledgeS.
Experiments are being made with sew
'eral types of stoves to find the one
which will most efficiently melt snow
and cook at the same time. Any type
can be made in the machine shop.
Tents are being built and tested TO find
one which will be strong as well as
light and give the msmixum amount
of room.
The food for the men is all packed
and ready tor the trail. 1t has been
divided in portions which provide a
daily ration tor nine msn and Is packed
in bags. When the bags are taken out,
they contain the food for that day.
The biscuits, pemmican, concen-
tratcd soup. matted milk, cocoa and
bar chocolate are packed in this way.
Sugar. powdered milk and tea are
packed in oil silk bags holding weekly
ration.
Butter is packed in tins. All these
things are packed in canvas boxes for
convenience in flashing them on the
sledges and so that at each depot the
requisite number of boxes may merely
be lifted off the sledges and cached.
The delays in getting started in the
morning. which every explorer has
found difficult to overcome, will be re-
duced by cooking oatmeal, the principal
breakfast dish, in thermos jar over
night. 1t has been tried out of doors
here at 40 below zero and it was found
that the oatmeal cooked perfectly and
kept hot for IL hours while the jar
rested in the snow.
Each man will have ga pounds of
food day. The dog pemmican is now
being made into cakes, which will pro-
vide each dog with l Il pounds day.
Periods Devoted to Studying.
With all these preparations going on
it can be. seen that there is little time
for idleness despite the Winter night,
which is one reason every one is healthy
and contented.
Here is a man sewing on a tent, an
other working on a sleeping bag, and
two or three others are working on
sledges or grinding and packing dog food
or making bags for the sledgcs.
Every. man Who has not some special
scientific or routine task has enough
to 90, and at odd moments he Is often
found studying.
Those who will go on the sledge party
to the mountains are studying geology
or meteorology or radio SO that they
may be able to help in the collection CT
specimens or weather data or operate
an emergency radio set.
The weather still continues freakish.
For week warm wind from the
north has kept up the temperature and
today it is 2 above zero. Every rope
and wire outside is coated with Ice and
hoar frost Our weather has been about
as different as can be imagined from
that experienced by Capt. RoalG
Several inches of snow has
fallen in the last few days.

This is a continuation of a story
begun yesterday in The Evening starr
LITTLE AMERICA, Antarctica, June
l8.-There are no real crevices about
the mountains; what fractures there
are appear to be due to contraction
caused by temperature differences, and
are always small. In other words, there
Is no active glaciation here. In fact
the terrain about the mountains Is COM
posed of granular snow like that Of the
Ross Barrier about the Bay of Whales.
1t differs only In that the surface Is
covered with a glazed surface of snow
ice caused by melting in the warm
months on account of the nearness to
the rocks
Like the Alexandra Mountains-judg-
irg from the few specimens collected
at SCOTS nunataks by Prestrud OF
AmundSen'S expedition--the Rockefeller
Mountains are composed of GRANTEES
and associated rocks. A precursory ex-
animation of the few specimens we were
able to bring back from the central
part of the range, after the disastrous
loss of our plane, suggests that they
are pre-Cambrian deposits
The discovery of the Rockefeller
Mountains adds greatly to the known
land areas of King Edward VII Land,
and yet when we consider the range,
together with its surroundings, it ap-
pears to be somewhat smaller than has
generally been supposed The snow
surface about the mountains averages
from 800 to 400 feet above sea level
and does not appear to change greatly
fnV oil
snow to disappear, 1t seems likely that
a shallow sea would be found at least
to the south, and some of the more
remote peaks might be isolated from
the rest; indeed, the whole might take
on the aspects of a rugged archipelago.
In other words, Carmen Land OF
Amundsen's description does not Gull

of King Edward VII Land.
Peaks in Marie Byrd Land.
There is another new land mass in
this part of the Antarctic, as yet I'M
named, which must be taken into &C
count in all future geological theoriZ-
ing. 1 refer to the mountains that lie
far to the east of the Rockefellers,
within Marie Byrd Land. These
mountains were seen by all who made
flights in the vicinity Of King Edward
VII Land and beyond, and were noted
by us when we were working in the
Rockefellers. Even our rough meas
urements placed them more than 20
miles away and we estimated the high
est peak to be we'll above 5000 feet.
This highest peak bore such a re-
semblance to the Matterhorn that we
so named it for the time being. Con-
nected with it and disappearing toward
the southeast from it is a Serrated or
comblike ridge of smaller peaks. 1t is
at once evident that here is mountain
group not only higher, but much more
perfectly defined as a mountain range
than any that have yet been found in
Eastern Antarctica. Abe the high peak
and its chain of smaller peaks dis
tinctive landmarks of a former more
extensive glaciation, as they appear to
be from the great distance from which
we saw them? Are they related to the

WOMEN TENNIS
STARS HOPE TO
DELODCE HELEN
Little Chance of Miss
Wills Losing Crown At
Forest Hills.
BY WILLIAM j. DUNN
United Press staff Ccrregc ondent


FOREST HILLS. L. T., Aug. -.
u.n The seemingly futile effort
To displace Helen Wills as queen of
American tennis courts was nearing
its climax today.
Besides the defending champion.
only -four American and three Brit
ish women remained as candidates
when the quarterfinal round of the
national women's championships
was started at the West Side Tennis
Club.
-Four matches were on the day s
program with two British and two
American girls expected to win.
Miss Wills faced her first really
serious opponent in Mrs. l.. r. c.
Michel of the British Wightman
cup team, but three two set vie
tories in which she lost only one
game mad made the California girl a
unanimous favorite.
The second former champion to
gain the qnarterf finals, Mrs. Molla
Mallory, who held the title seven
times, was expected to accept the
role OF spectator after toda! )
match. She meets Betty Nuthali,
Britain 5 ranking woman star.
The chances for an upset in this
match, however, were more than
fair Mrs. Mallory, while not the
dashing, driving woman who ruled
American courts for so many years.
is still an excellent player.
The other British woman expect
ed to take her place in the semi
final four was Mrs. Phoebe Watson,
second ranking player in the isles.
Mrs. Watson scored rather deei-
site victory over Miss Helen Jacobs
in the recent Wightman cup
matches and this coupled with her
work in the first three rounds. sent
her against Miss Edith Cross as the
favorite.
Helen Jacobs, whose path to the
quarter-finals has not been an easy
one, faced Miss Mary Greet, of
Kansas City, today and there
seemed little likelihood of sur
prise victory. 1t was Miss Greet
who eliminated little Sarah Palfrey
in two listless sets yesterday, how
ever, which is indication that she is
on top of her game.
