Washington, April l5.--No one will
know just how feasible that proposed
submarine expedition to the North
Pole really is until some one has
actually made tho attempt.
Navy officers familiar with sub
riarines say they would hate to try
the trip which Sir George Hubert
Wilkins and Simon Lake expect will
h made under the polar ice by the
rebuilt rescue submarine Defender,
but experts on water and ice concli-
tons III that region assert that the
expedition would have better than an
even chance Of success.
Some of the former arc inclined to
shudder at the thought Of pushing
through water below the vast ice
fields, their lives dependent OH their
ability to rise i'll open water and
obtain air and rccharge batteries.
Storage battery equipment Is severely
limited in any submarine and SO is
unbroken underwater cruising, al
though some submarines might be
able to keep below the surface as long
as "a hours by cruising only three
miles ali hour.
He Thinks II Feasible
But George w. Littlehales. one of
the worlds leading photographic en-
gineers and a valuable adjunct of the
Navy Department since his gradua-
ton from the Naval Academy in 1879,
Is rather optimistic about the pro-
posed expedition.
II think wilkins has quite a prob
ability of making it, Littlehales
says. 'Hc is intelligent, alert and
equipped to carry out difficult prof.
ects.
Il don't see any danger except in
finding a lane where they can get up
and recharge. Of course it's vital to
get up to the surface for that. But
since the expedition is being made in
the summer l should say that his
hope Of being able to do SO about
every 25 miles is within the range of
expectation"
Littlehalcs and others interviewed
had to speak. Of course without any
knowledge Of the type of boring and
blasting equipment which the SUBJ
marine is expected to carry.
There won't be any lcebergs to
worry about, anyway. just an ice
field. 1t Is swayed by the tidal move
ment and the movement produces
cracks. lanes and crevases, most fire.
quently in the summer. These arc
generally large enough to allow SUBJ
marine to come up.
The ice fields average about 10
feet thick" Littlehales explained,
"and below the sea is quite clear.
Surrounding the pole is an oceanic
basin OF considerable depth, allowing
clear navigation i'll the depths be-
tween the continental shelves. This
basin is net known as is the Atlantic
basin, for instance. Soundings have
been few, but Perry and Amundsen
found that as they got nearer the
POLE the water became deeper and

AS soon after Tonys departure as
she could. Crystal pleaded fatigue
and went to the bedroom which would
now be so lonely. She had firmly,
almost querulously refused Rhodas
kindly offer to help her undress and
to keep her company for while, If
she was not sleepy. She wanted to
be alone. SO that her too transparent
face would not give away the secret
of her fears. Not even Harry Blaine
must suspect that she was worried
about Tony. His eyes were so keen,
and they watched her SO much any
way. -.
She was undressing listlessly when
her eyes caught the sparkle Of a jewel
on the rug. It was Tony's diamond
and sapphire pendant, which she had
worn that evening with the royal blue
chiffon velvet. Crystal snatched it
up. It was the excuse she had been
subconsciously praying for. =.

STEEL MAKERS
To EXPAND

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 1.6-Steel
companies apparently have no
intention Of delaying reconstruc-
ticn and expansion programs be-
cause OF the recent collapse in
the stock market.
This applies particularly to- the
United states Steel Corporation.
Hhe corporations program for
improvements and expansion is
said to involve the expenditure
81 approximately $500 100000 over
the next few years, The pro
gram involves no additional
financing, the funds necessary
being expected to come from
surplus earnings.
1t has been. estimated that
1900 900 900 would approximate
the contemplated expenditures
Of all the independents for the
next two years or so.

LAWS To STOP
| DOUBLE TAX
SOUGHT

Proposals for revision Of the
eyenue laws to eliminate double
taxation Of international trans
ections probably win be submitted
20 Congress soon after the holt
nay recess by Secretary Of the
Treasury Mellon, it was learned
hoday.
A careful study Of these taxes
mas been conducted by the On
oerSecretary, Odgen L. Mills,
Frof. T. s. Adams, international
tax authority, and other Treas
ury experts, and they soon will
pe IN a position to draft recon-
mendations for Congress.
Owing to the fact that Amer.
lean exports more goods than
anything other country, and that
double taxation inpedes consid-
erably the expansion Of COM
merce, no country has a more
vital interest in preventing it
Than United States.
&AS@O101tAk 10 O111ClalS congress
mas already Incorporated in the
revenue act certain measures to
prevent double taxation, b ut
much remains to be done in
order to facilitate the movement
OF commerce.
MELONS position is that sub
lection to taxes in two or more
countries constitutes a real bar
T1er to the expansion of inter-
national rade and investments.
In some cases high income taxes
often consume most Of the profits
or international commerce, while
estates spread over several coun-
tries almost vanish after pay
ments Of the respective duties.
Since the war q real effort has
been made to meet the situation.
Agreements have been concluded
between Great Britain, France,
Germany, Italy, the Netherlands,
Sweden and other countries at.
fording some relief. Treasury
officials pointed out that there
is a great diversity in the form
and content of the treaties, pri-
marily due to the great differ
eace In the structure Of the lax
systems Of the contracting coun-
tries.

SUITABLE FOR
SOME FOLKS

PARIS, Dec. ie-Poeta and
doctors should never marry. says
Novelist Rose Macaulay. writing
in the Paris edition Of the Daily
Mail. The Jars Of the married
state, she explains, win certainly
injure the formers dreams and
they win be far happier single,
as will, probably, their spouSes
AS far doctors, they are too
often called up in the night.
Marriage" she continues, as
really desperate thing and the
frogs In Aesop we're extremely
wise. They had a great mind to
some water, but they would not
leap into the well because they
could not get out again"
However, the writer has decided
that there Is much to be said on
both sides and that between mar
rage and celibacy, happiness
works out about $3.50.
The Joy one gets out Of mar
rage usually depends upon tenn
permanent, health, wealth and
the rest Of human lottery.
Marriage is undoubtedly suited
to some dispositions and circum-
stances and not to others. The
hasty and excitable Of temper,
she thinks, should by all means
marry, in order to have always
at hand an object on which to
vent their exaSperated feelings.
And then on the whole, 1t is
certainly more fun doing things
with the right companion, than
alone, provided that the compan-
ion, chosen perhaps a little at
random, does not always prove
to be the companion with whom
it is the most fun to do things.
