| party partially accounts for the interest
| with which Americans are following
this modern romance of adventure In
strange land. News that is fresh is
always more palatable. Radio Is lifting
the curtain and giving the humdrum
world view of strange sights, pre-
senting something that is entirely new.
Radio is allowing millions of staid citi-
zens, whose expeditions into the world
of adventure consist of daily trips to
and from the office on crowded street
cars or packed BUSES, to take part in
exciting encounters with such ferocious
creatures as killer whales, to dodge the
opening of a yawning ice crevasse and
to fiirt with an emperor penguin whose
sole aim in life is to preserve his in
herent dignity
And all of those who thus are Joined
with Byrd In his preparatory maneu-
vers are looking forward with intense
eagerness to the time when the bases
will have been established, the planes
tuned up and the flights taken over
those mysterious regions of the world
that ice and snow have locked up in
a mysterious vault. Radio is giving the
combination by which the vault will
be opened and some of its secrets ex-
posed. While the world of science may
be expectantly awaiting new revela-
tons, lay world of would-be explorers
is waiting to know how cold it will be
when Winter comes, how the dogs will
make out and whether those killer
whales will behave themselves and stop
trying to turn over our boats and de-
YOUR us. body and soul, before We can
reach the South Pole.

Judge Sellers Stand :
Against Racks Backed
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Hats of to Judge Sellers!
Is 1t any wonder that the little ur-
chins whom Judge Sellers was obliged
to pass sentence on for stealing pennies
and papers from the street racks
should have so little respect for this
unlicensed monopoly which has de-
prived them land probably some OF our
future Presidents) of earning honest
pennies, frequently of great help in
the budgets of struggling widows?
How come that merchants are re-
quired to pay rent for each cubic foot
wof vault space under the sidewalk.
while the authorities have granted
gratis the privilege Of littering our most
prominent thoroughfares with these OBJ
structive and insidious newspaper de-
vices?
While a small number of the police
are allocated for the enforcement of
the eighteenth amendment, 1t appears
that the entire force has been instruct
ed TO snoop from behind corners and
doorways to catch the unwary tax
payers who inadvertently deposit a
penny short, intending to pay up next
time.
There Is another angle to the sit
uation near to my heart. AS an old
newsboy, I observe that the racks are
so widely distributed they have almost
eliminated the alert, bright-eyed news
boy. Now 1t Is only the cripples and
the decrepit having sympathetic patron
age who can get narrow profit from
papers.
Who remembers the hay market fence
on B street between Tenth and
Eleventh northwest, where we rushed
from mark across the street to be
first in line and given the coveted No.
/ tag, emitting the lucky boy to the
first papers: also the big bloke who
thinned the line into place with a stick?
now carry a scar where a shiny eyed
colored lad socked me over the head
with a piece of pipe for beating him
to 1t.
Now In all seriousness, our news
papers have the respect and best wishes
of the communities. We do not think
they would misuse their powerful in
fiuence in an unfair way; however, eff
the morals of our youth" as Judge Sell
lers says, "are jeopardized and our citi-
Zens subject to arrest for an innocent
infraction." the situation at least calls
for discussion. j. MAURICE BIRD.

True to Tradition.

OF all the epics of the sea there has
never been one more thrilling, more
heroic than that just written, telling
Of the rescue Of thirty-two men from
the sinking steamer Florida by a life
boat crew from the steamer America.
It Is q tale of modern equipment, but
also Of stout hearts and Of the age-old
spirit Of humanity. The introduction
into 1t Of highly scientific developments,
OF radio. OF the latest devices for ac-
curate navigation, does not lessen its
power to stir the blood.
Capt. George Fried, of the steamer
America. tells the tale by radio. simply
and effectively. He takes to himself
no particular part Of the credit for the
rescue. He heard the signals of ship
in distress. and he located her posi-
ton and went to her assistance. II
was his part to find the Florida and
that he did SO was due to his skill as
navigator. When he located her and
traced her the problem of relieving her
company from their desperate situation
had TO be solved. He organized the
work and intrusted its execution tc
Chief Officer Harry Manning, who tool

to the rescue. In that boat, under
Manning, were eight men. Their name!
