ment. why pick on those whose
husbands are in Government?
I work with a married woman
whose husband is making $1,000
a year on the outside, while
she is drawing $2,400. Yet
she would be kept. There's
nothing fair about that. And
even though I would not be
affected by such an order, I
can see the injustice Of it.
Most Of the married women
I know are working to better
their conditions, educating chill
dren who would otherwise have
had to work as soon as they
got through grade schools, and
helping dependent relatives.
Why pick on them?
There are other things in
the Government that are far
worse. For instance, they are
laying off men in the Navy
Yark, while there are other
ex-Navy men who are drawing
pensions as high as $l03 a
month besides their salary
that will be kept. This con-
dition exists all through the
Government. Men in the Vet
erans Bureau are drawing COM
penSation, some of them $50
% month from the officers re-
tirement fund. besides getting
a nice fat salary check each
pay day.
Yet when a married woman
holds down two jobs she is
criticised for it and must give
her office job to an ex,service
man. Why don't some of
these doctors, ex.Navy, ETC.,
men who are drawing pensions,
give up something?

The speaker was a man who
made a correction in a score
made by a fellow player In a
game in which he had an oppor-
tunity to win first honors.
One less score than had been
Tailed for him would have given
him an opportunity to become
q winner.
But his conscience would not
have given him any peace, if he
had accepted his friends scor-
ing.
What would you have done
under the circumstances?
Would you have allowed your
score to stand as 1t was handed
to the officials?
It meant the honor of win
ming when many contested and
also q prize Of considerable
value.

Polar Exploration
By Archibald Henderson

A popular impression which,
unfortunately, is highly errnne-
Gus, rules that man has con-
quered all the elements, and
consequently has no more
worlds to conquer. There are
vast areas on the earth's sur
face, whether of water or of
land, which have been "discov-
ered," but which are as far from
being conquered as ever. We
know comparatively little of the
Arctic, and even much less of
the Antarctic in spite of the at
tainment Of the poles by Peary
and Byrd, Amundsen and Scott,
There are great reaches along
the upper reaches of the Anna
zon and the Orinoco which still
are unknown territory to civil
lied man. As Bowman has re-
Gently pointed out. the empty
quarter" of Arabia, lying almost
within sight of the Oldest routes
of migration and trade in the
world, measures 500 miles by
800 miles. Think of it almost
q half million square miles Of
territory unknown to science,
mysterious to man. It has been
estimated that there still re-
main on the earth's surface Ilr1-
explored lands of q total area
al. least twice that Of the United
States!
There is still, then. an outer
margin and, groups Of unknown
areas which remain untraversed
and unconquered by man; and
indeed unknown to man. except
as colored patches upon an Of
flee globe.
Man still feels an irresistible
urge to press on to the frontier
line, the outer margin Of dis
covered territory. The adven-
turous still desire ifreSpr pressibly
to traverse the unknown areas
and pluck out the heart Of
their mystery.
It is q singular fact that al
though the astronomers. with

telescopes, and their small ma

you don't know the half Of 1t. :
Suppose you had lost every

too proud to beg-slept In all

could turn to ask for q cent.
Then you would know and would
understand what it is all about.
Three times have I answered
the call to arms in defense Of

in the world war in the A. E. F.,
