 FIELD

Following meeting of the exe- cutlve committee of the Fairbanks Commercial Club, reports the News Miner, survey was begun for moor ing the Graf Zeppelin while mak- ing her base during Arctic explora- tlon next spring. At the meeting at which Capt. Austin E. Lathrop. in charge of the Graf preparations here, Charles L. Thompson, local manager for the Alaska Airways. Inc, and Joe Ulmer, engineer, were heard, three-year lease was taken on a strip of land 2,000 by 1.5OO feet ln dimension, belonging to P. J. Rlckert, forming a southeasterly extension of Weeks flying field.
 Ulmer was instructed to make a survey and when this is completed and clearing costs estimated, general meeting will be called for the purpose of financing the work. It is intended that the new field shall be so prepared that it may be used in conjunction with Weeks field for airplane landing purposes, thus greatly extending facilities to meet a rapidly growing demand. The area to be prepared will be of approximately 500 acres.
 The executive committees deci- sion to start work on tn field had been delayed several days pending definite assurance that the Graf would use Fairbanks as a base.

 ROUEN, Aug, 28. P) Two forgotten automobile pioneers, given credit for the first explo- sion-engine car, have been brot to memory by the Automobile Club of Normandy.
 Edouard Delamare- -Debouteville and Leon Maladin are asserted to have built and driven car that ran with motor and used ordinary lighting gas.
 During the first run the rubber tube from the gas tank to the motor blew out, giving the amaz- ed spectators fright. Later two men rigged up a gasoline engine in the car, which was an old buggy, and ran it successfully for a long time.

this policy he is assembling a perma-
nent collection of masterpieces, in con-
nection with which he Is conducting an
experiment. station where new ideas can
be tried out and results tested by the
aforesaid masterpieces. His desire is
that the public shall see with the art
lists eye. that they shall temper judg-
ment with understanding.
Mr.. Phillips courage in attempting
something so new and SO different is
admirable. and the fact that his ex-
pertinent is being carried on here at
Washington in our midst matter for
congratulations. The fact that he Is
willing to announce his intentions and
invites the public to share with HIM in
his experiment makes 1t the more
valuable.
T>HEO J. MORGAN. who for some
years has been travelling in the
United States. is returning to Wash
ington and will take up his residence
here permanently. During his absence
he has been in Texas, Nevada, Arizona,
New Mexico, California and old Mexico,
collecting material for paintings and
data for books He has not. he writes,

time are prizes in the now famous
Texas wild flower competitions. The
White Museum San Antonio), the mu-
scum at Houston and the Delgado

examples OF his painting.
A N INTERESTING feature Of the ex-
hibition of sculpture now in prog

A COLLECTION of recent water COL
"A ors by John Whorf of Boston is
now on view at Gordon Dunthorne's.
There is none today who displays
greater mastery OF this medium than
Whorf. and none who produces works
OF greater interest. There is in his
skillful technique that fascination al
most amounting to necromancy which
Sargent'S works in oil almost invariably
possess-an amazing cleverneSs and
adroitneSS which few ever achieve.
Many OF Mr.. Whorf's paintings are
made from a little boat in the Boston
Harbor. but it does not matter whether
his subjects are of wharVes and sea-
going craft, rocks and water or OF pure
landScape-they are Invariably color
full direct, delightful to the eye, aliur-

Nordic woman, something of goddess
herself in pattern and heroic stripe gen.
orally. You can see at once the puzzle
set by this situation. To the natives
there must be a restoration Of the
sacred veil. To the others there must
be its rediscovery and redisposal for as
many different reasons as there are
groups of white men concerned in the
business. The young woman, prime Of
fender. since it was she who committed
the original sin of rape of the veil, Is
naturally the real point of concern in
the hearts of al the men roundabout.
But love is held in allegiance for the
til being, while the pursuit fares
ahead in about every situation Of dan
ger that that part of the world has at
it's command. It is a good story. 1t
fairly reeks with the atmosphere Of the
religious and caste world of India. 1t
sets up in picturesque contrast to the
underground methods of that region the
fist-and-foot method of the brawny
West. In between there is the keen
and subtle white man who finally, in
an adroit and entertaining manner.
shuffies and deals his material as a.
white man should, and who finally also
brings the veil adventure to a successful
outcome What is much more to the
point, he subdues the young woman,
outwitS his rivals, gets married, and,
let us hope, keeps that Nordic heroine
to heel ever after, for there clearly is
where she belongs in the interests of
peace and comfort. Good story, sub
