AMERICANS EXPLORED FAR
SOUTH NINETY YEARS AGO

In view of the recent illustriOus exploits OF Ad-
ra Byrd it is interesting to recall that ninety years
aqo an Antarctic expedition under the Stars and
Stripes, commanded by an American naval officer,
did valuable exploratory work in the far South. In
IN Illustrated article in the September issue of the
National Republic just off the press, Mr. R. K 7.
Lawson tells the interesting story of these early ex
plorations and what they accomplished In part, Mr.
Lawson says:
Ninety years have passed since the first mari
time expedition for scientific research under the flag
Of the United States Of America outlined the contn
entail margin Of Antarctica for distance Of 300
miles. r"ssa y .s sSSs

The last nine decades have seen the world, in
science at least advance at rate overshadowing all
the sand that had heretofore flowed through the
glass of eternal time. YET the Antarctic remains
seemingly endless frozen hell. Out of it has come
another American Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd,
and all America is giving him honor, for honor is due
the intrepid Vrgnian whose expedition in search OF
scientific fact concerning the Antarctic undoubtedly
will prove more valuable than any heretofore With
how Byrd and his men flew over the South Pole and
vast areas of frozen land where only mans imagin-
alton had flown before. The adventures of Wilkes

DON'T BE TOO PESSIMISTIC

Since last fall the country has been going
through period of depression The condition is Of
course not peculiar to the United States butts world
wide. Before the depression came SO Unexpectedly /
upon us, it seemed that economic rules had been
changed and that it impossible for our progress
and prosperity to slow up. We know better now
But now that we have reached the bottom of the de-
preston the pessimsm which has been created seems
as unwarranted as was the gittering optimism of a
year ago. great many people who thought year
ago that business would never slacken, seem to bel
just as sure that it has never been SO bad as it
is and that it will never get better.
This is of course absurd. There have been many
periods of depression in the country and there
already plenty Of signs that we have scraped bot
tom and are about to climb the hill again.
In this regard it is interesting to note state
ment issued recently by the Alexander Hamilton IN
stitute which says: "While business for the half
year was materially lower than year ago, the profit
levels for 1923 were closely approached Returns for
the first six months show drop in income of % per
cent from last year, but profits were less than per
cent below those of 1923.
~ Thirteen industrial groups now show net iu-
comes for the half year exceeding their earnings for
six months Of 1928 They are beverage and confec-
tionery CHEMICALS drugs electrical equipment, food
products iron and STEEL oil, printing and publishing,
railway equipment chain restaurant, miscellaneous
service companies and miscellaneous manufacturing.
House financing installment sales show profits
slightly higher than last year and materially above
those of 1928"
All of which should be highly encouraging to
who now seem unduly pessimistic Evidently the
country has not gone to the dogs and there is bound
to be some Improvement in the near future When
it comes the rebound will be rapid because of the pres
ent hesitancy.

audience as there was plenty of
hitting and runs to keep the crowd

large crowd attended the game and
the fact that cars were lined up
across the back of the diamond
caused several arguments between
the payers, as there was a mis-
understanding in the agreement
about hit balls that went passed
the cars. 1t was ruled that any
bail that was knocked over the
cars was good for whatever {

inside of the circle of automobiles
and rolled out it was only good for
two bases if the runner could
make that.
