Now you see. nobobdy. got the right answer for the silhouette that appeared in last evenings Herald. It is just as we'll for now the Sil- houette editor can stay within ms budget. and have that sl for re- treatments and bus fare. As the purpose of this contest is to give bit of free advertising to the con- cern the person is connected with. the editor will have to give Sam Mag boost about the clothing and nice things he sells right opposite the alley from the City National Bank. You'd think Mir. Kelly would spot him wouldn't you? One answer spotted Ed. Mag and told about his offices in the Commercial Trust building. The hintlet dropped last night was along the lines that the place of business was north of the railroad tracks. then the epistle was not signed. It seemed though the rules in this contest were secondary. The rules, really and truly. are the very warp and wool. the very nucleus about which this WOW Of contest is ceutered. Please, believe the above statements as true. IT Sam Mag had just slipped a bit of information to his friends. just think of the opportunity he missed 10 get some so called free advertis- ing" The editor did what he could. but he cant go far without CO., operation.

Even the number one on the silhouette gives you hint. and for Greenberg. that's the fellows name who cut out the original likeness. The editor may be simple. but not so dumb as 10 allow the name 10 ap- pear right out, Here's another hint let, on tonights likeness-he's a glad hand artist. but there's some people in town who don't agree with him.

Carol Talks Of Weather

Paris. March 80 Rl-Prince Carol of Rumania is back in Paris after meeting his mother. Queen Marie, in Normandy. Carol refused to discuss reports that Mihail Manoilescu and Prince Stirbey were coming to Paris to escort him back to the throne Of his father. Instead he seemed in clined to discuss the weather. which he remarked was particularly beau- tiful in France just now.
 At the Rumanian legation it was acknowledged that Manoilescu was in Paris but it was said there was neither any appointment to meet Prince Carol nor any intention to make one. Incidents connected with Carols departure from RumaRja. generally known to have involved an altercation with Prince Stirbey which nearly resulted in a fist fight. led Rumanians to believe that Prince Stirbey's business in Paris was other than with Carol.

Florence. Italy, March 80 P- The explosion of the sacred cart, perhaps the most original Holy Week ceremony i'll all Italy. occur red here this noon in the big square outside Fiorence's famous cathe- dral, much as it has occurred ever since its inauguration in 1903 \. D.
 The celebration excited the i'm mense delight Of q great crowd Of townspeople. peasants from outIr- ing villages. and the host of Ameri can and British tourists who al ways flock to Florence at this sea son.
 The "Sarrcd Cart" four story, red damask covered vehicle, en- bellished with all sorts Of gorgeous trappings and entWined garlands. was dragged to its appointed pla@e early this morning hy four sturdy. snow-whita oxen, Their horns ani hoofs were g.lied and over their backs were brilliant crimson blank cts. Once the quartet Of serious minded hoNincs had performed their duty. they were unhitchcl and led away 10 enjoy an extra ra- ton Of oats-and Of wine,

DISH SHAPED SHIP
 FLOATS ATOP ICE
Special Craft Designed for El.
 ploraion in Polar Regions

New York. April 5. R-A saucer shaped, wooden island with engine. masts and sails has been designed by Capt. Robert Bartlett, for near ly 30 years sea captain on the Arc- tic ocean.
 He calls the craft the skinner ship" It is vessel unsuited for any of the seven seas except the Arctic. but adapted to perform in that ocean functions unknown to other ships.
 It will carry eight or 10 scien- lists for a three to five-year cruise. all Of them housed on it's roomy deck. open to light throughout six months of day. and for observations during the long polar night. This deck. 125 feet long and 45 wide. bears living quarters and labora- tories. and will rest only a foot above water. Its horizontal level is expected scarcely to be disturbed if pressure squeezes the ship up on the ice, for the keel is only l2 feet blow deck. and the bottom nearly flat. The craft is elongated like a salad dish,
 From Alaska Captain Bartlett wants to drift northward over the pole, sending daily weather observa- tions by wireless to Washington with meteorological balloons aloft. wires and cables down for water and sa1inity tests. and sonic depth finder in action. he would measure the polar elements from two miles above the surface of the sea to two miles below. the maximum known depth of Arctic midocean. He would take magnetic observations tidal and current readings and make special experiments with the gyro compass.
 The drift over the pole in the direction of Europe. says Captain Bartlett, has been established by wreckage, but Arctic lore is blank | as to speed Of this current.

 France has long been regarded as the protector of Andorra which one cyclopedia calls "a small neu- tral autonomous and semi-inde- pendent state on the Franco-Span- ish frontier and chiefly on the peninsular side of the eastern Py- renees." It has an area of 175 square miles and in 1900 had population of $500. It is sur rounded by mountains and lies mainly in an extensive and fertile valley. Although bitterly cold in the winter, Andorra's summer pastures provide nourishment for flocks and herds. On the southerIy slopes of the valley potatoes, fruit and to- bacco are grown.

 Many of these young Andorrans were born on Spanish soil; never the!ess they contend that there exists no obligation for them to carry the arms of Spain. They say they have never renounced the nationality of their fathers and that the nationality law of Andorra per- mlts them to retain their citizen ship.
