NAUTILUS SAILORS
REVEAL HARDSH|PS
Eleven Returning to Gotham
From Polar Submarine
Would Try Again.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 6.-Eleven
undersea sailors, back from two months
of suffering and some 'grumbling,'
smiled bravely yesterday and choruSed
that If some one would give them a
better submarine they'd try again to
reach the North Pole.
They were half the crew of the old
Nautilus, once a Navy submersible, now
a battered wreck ready to be sunk in
the North Sea. Under the command of
Sir Hubert wilkins, who with other
members Of the crew, will return to this
country later they conquered cold,
sickness and many breakdowns in me-
chanical equipment to drive their craft
to within $50 miles of the pole. The
fury of oncoming Winter then drove
them back.
Statements Divergent.
Although there were divergent state
mentS as to how the strengthening
experience had reacted on the morale
of the crew, spirit of camaraderie
prevailed today as the men greeted
relatives after disembarking from the
liner American Banker.
There was some grumbling, for We
had lot to contend with" said Chief
Engineer Ralph D. Shaw, who has been
in submarine work since 1910.
THE spirit among us was Splendid
said Ray Meyers of Philadelphia, chief
radio man, who was praised for sleep
less vigils while the submarine was
pushing it's nose among the ice cakes
of the Far North.
Crew Ill and Cold.
The voyage eastward across the At
iantic was the NEST narrowing ordeal
in ShaW'S career. A combination OF
bad air inside the submarine and roll
ing motion made most of the men i'll
as the engines broke down and the bat
teries went low The men Shivered
inside as quarter Of inch of ice formed
on the lining of the craft. When they
got into the Arctic after being towed
to Ireland by a battleship, the diving
rudder went bad.
They went under the ice several times,
but Shaw said he was unable to esti-
mate the exact mileage covered in this
way. Despite all the hardshipS, he
said, he would be glad to go again
with better equipment.
Rudder Complete Wreck.
Frank Crilley, modest hero, who as
chief diver of the expedition went down
among the colliding ice cakes to look
at the damaged rudder, said:
After the second inspection I was
convinced it was hopeleSsly out of gear.
So we decided to return. Even with
the rudder gone we had to do some
diving to dodge the surface ice"
Dixie Holland, assistant electrician,
said the crashing of ice cakes against
the submarine almost made him deaf.

fight back, of course. That means every rag in the country will be full of it. So, if you can stand it. I don't think it will do a lot of harm to Viyienne."
 He's right, Aileen," Jimmy said.
 Sure" Klein had calmed down. We've got to handle it quietly by ourselves. You stay here with Aileen, Jimmy. I'll run up and see Dwight Charming. I'll meet you all at eight o'clock, and maybe I'll bring him with me-"
 Soon after he left Vivienne came in.
 Hello, you two! Am I late? Why,

I thought you'd be dressed, Aileen. 3 She pulled off her hat and tossed it carelessly on the table. Under her arm was magazine. With a twinkle in her eyes, she dropped ia in Aileen's lap.
 Have you seen that?" she asked gaily. The Gray twins are getting infamous. Honestly, it's a screaml" Aileen stared down at the open page, too stunned to look up at Jimmy.
 Well, I'll be darnedl" he nut tered.

Chapter 8 A STAB IN THE BACK

Broadway had been enjoying a two-day thrill.
 Jaded by sensations, it's footlight population was amused by the news that old Max Klein was about to blazon a brand new name in the lights before his theatre. Jimmy Cranes most sanguine hopes had been far surpassed by the news re- ports of Aileen Gray's discovery.
 Miss Santa Claus court entrance had been minus costume. That IS, she had worn simple frock in- stead of the togs the cameras had caught the previous afternoon. Her arrival had been the signal for a photographers stampede.
 Discharged by a friendly justice, the prisoners were driven uptown ill Channings car With Max Klein and vivienne they had lunched at the Ritz Klein was beamingly gra- cious to his newest star and Chan ming appeared to find her piquantly intriguing. Viyienne, somewhat pet ulantly, bathed in reflected glory. Playing second-fiddle ten d c d to eramp her style.
 Max Klein made mental note of the younger sisters resemblance to her lovely mother. Yes, she had the same first-violin tendencies. A strung, delicate instrument, this luxury-loving girl. It would re- quire a master touch to bring out the best in her.
 Klein might be bluntly crude at times, but his insight into charac- ter was almost in.allible. He had frequently sensed harmonies where others found only discords. Of course, he had had his failures, heart breaking ones at times. But in his philosophy, trying made life worthwhile. He had seen quite a lot of silk purses produced from ap- parent sows' ears. Vivienne's case was different. She was a silk purse "a little too fine-a silk purse with too little in it. And that was dan gerous
 Jimmy Crane found meanwhile that he rather liked Dwight Chan ming. Yet he resented the ease with which the man made himself agreeable. Knowing his crowd had made Vivienne restless and discon- tented
 Aileen was too happy to realize that her ambition was almost with in her grasp. Klein had set Octo- Der sixth as the opening date. He had decided not to risk production any sooner. There must be no rough edges. The weather would be better then; people would be in town. With the heralding of the show, its reception was assured. So he meant to make it's premiere one that would be remembered.
 Alone in her cosy apartment that was now brighter for flowers Aileen sat by the window, watching the re- flection of the sunset in the sky She had just come in from re- llearsal. For a whole half hour she could relax, then bathe and dress for dinner. That was one trouble she thought, and smiled. She was always on the go Even her private life was public now, and it was good policy for her to be seen din- ing in the smartest places.
 Meanwhile Viv was busy, posing for Dwight Charming. She went to his studio every day. Aileen did not know and had not asked just what sort of pictures Charming was working on. Except at night, the sisters saw little of each other, but Aileen had insisted on Vivienne's spending the evenings with her.
 The house phone rang and Aileen got up to learn who was calling. Kiein and Jimmy were due at

OF ALL THE foods and delicacies that come to your table there few that can inspire your taste like Hills Bros. Coffee Every sip abounds in fra grant, savory, full-bodied goodness such as you will never find in any other brand.
 It's the way Hills Bros. Coffee is roasted that makes it such joy to drink. Instead of roasting their blend in bulk, Hills Bros. roast only few pounds at time. By exact control of heat, every berry is roasted evenly-to that degree where all of the flavor nature gave is developed to perfec ton. How different from the bulk-roasting method in which exact Aavor-controi is impossible!
 As fast Hills Bros. Coffee is roasted and ground, it is packed in vacuum cans that keep it always fresh. Air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, IS taken oxt and Kept o3t of the vacuum can. Ordinary cans even if air.tight, do not keep coffee fresh.
 Grocers everywhere sell Hills Bros. Coffee. Ask for 1t by name and look for the Arab-the trade-mark-on the can.

How much wine is family of IS entitled to possess. AS there are apparently no certain governmental rules to decide on such an issue, Judge T. V. Meyer in police court today supported the contention of Julius Santora of A Wall street had legal right to have 300 gallons of wine in his cellar. Santora was discharged.
 "I have 10 children, two daughter in-laws one son-in-law and five grandchildren" testified Santora, All live in my house. All eat at the one table and everybody from the little baby up drink wine. l don't sell wine. I haven't got enough for myself and sometimes I mix 1t with a little cider" Santora figures that by close economy he will man. age to have a sufficient supply until the grape season arrives again.
 Santora's store was raided yester day morning by Patrolman Daniel J. Carson and the emergency squad. Six 50-gallon barrels of wine and one barrel of cider were confiscated and removed to police headquarters. Santora will now undoubtedly take action to have the police return his wine or else his family of IS

On Wednesday evening, April l, 1881. the Jewish people all over the world will begin its celebration of the Feast of Emancipation. known in Hebrew as "Pesach." According to the Bible, says a statement issued by the Tract commission of the Union of American Hebrew Congre- gations and the Central Conference of American Rabbis, this holiday is celebrated for period of seven days. and it is observed by eating unleavened bread-Matzoth. This holiday looms among the most sig niflcant festivals of the Jewish calen- dar, for the idea of freedom upon which 1t is based constitutes q basic concept in Jewish thought and a basic cause for which humanity has been fighting throughout its history.
 Like its sister festivals. Shabuoth and Sukkoth, Passover has two- fold background. It's earliest origin may be traced back to the time when the Jewish people titled the soil of Palestine. To them the return of spring was q most important event. It ushered in the time of reaping the barley harvest, the first fruits of which the people would bring to the temple at Jerusalem and offer to God amidst great rejoicing. Thus, orig inally. Passover was a nature festival which marked the beginning of the season of spring.
 As the agricultural background disappeared from Jewish life, how ever, there came the idea that Pass over marks the anniversary of the liberation of the children of Israel from the yoke of slavery. With the flight of centuries. this idea of free- dom was increasingly emphasized, so that to-day it embodies the primary message of Passover.
 According 10 the Book of Exodus, the Jewish people who dwelt in Egypt thousands of years ago were forced into slavery. The Pharaohs made their life bitter with heavy toll and unceasing labor. They forced them to build the mighty cities of Pithom and Rameses and to construct proud palaces and pyr- amids. The children of Israel Eroaned beneath the yoke of slavery for their affliction was beyond en- durance.
 At that time Moses was born and was brought up in the house of the
