WILL BE ISOLATED
IN CANADIAN NORTH
Lonely Year Scheduled for
Scientific Party.

Great Britain's share in next
years celebration OF the jubilee of
the Polar year will mean the isOla-
tiOn of a small party of scientific
observers for about a year at sta
ton in the north of Canada. Dur
ing those winter months they will
have no contact with the outside
world. They are unlikely even to
be in wireless communication. Their
only transport will be dog sledges
and their only chance of getting
fresh food will depend on the sue
cess with which they can use the
snow and ice for the purpose of re-
frigeration.
The party will go to their lonely
post on the most northerly arm of
the Great Slave lake as soon as the
ice breaks up at the end of June.
They will reach the settlement of
Fort Rae in time to make prepara-
tions and do some bartering with the
Indians before the winter settles
down again on this wild country and
the Indians 90 off once more on the
trail for the pelts by which they
make a living. Some of them may
drift back TO the settlement again
toward Christmas time and may
have moose and caribou flesh to bar
ter for flour or implements. If that
can be kept fresh by burying it in
the snow the party's rations will be
the more varied and nutritious. but
if the cold storage is unsatisfactory
they will have to content themselves
with timed goods. They will be liv-
ing in an Indian reserve and will
therefore not be at liberty TO shoot
the only animals which might serve
as food.
This settlement is little farther
north than the Shetlands. yet it is
one of the coIdest places in the
world. In the winter it is not I'M
usual to find from 100 to 40 degrees
Of frost. Fort Rae is a very primi-
tive settlement. 1t consists of a
Hudson's Bay trader, one rival
trader who is an Assyrian and an
other who is a Russian, one Cana
dian mounted policeman, and a RO-
man Catholic missionary. 1t is open
to the rest of tlfe world for about
six weeks from the beginning of
July, and even then it cannot be
reached by any regular transport
service

: CAPPY RICKS

EVEN as Cappy Kicks, hero of
IL the book by that name and of
its sequel "Cappy Kicks Retires,"
both by Peter B. Kyne, Capt. Robert
Dollar enjoyed little more excite
ment and fame than he has found
in real life. His is one of the most
romantic stories in the annals of
modern commerce.
Captain Dollar is onetof the fast
disappearing tribe, sturdy, hard
working capitalists with first-hand
training in mining or lumber camps,
on the western plains or on ship
board, who in the SOS and COS
rose to take commanding POSITIONS
in the commercial world. Dollar
rose from a lumber camp, where he
started in as camp cook, became
pioneer in transpacific trade and
in a period of some thirty years
has built up a transportation sys-
TEN which is one of the most fa-
nous, if not the largest, in the
world. Don't wait for your ship
to come in," he used to say. Just
keep sendin' 'em out They'll come
in all right as long as you keep
sendin' 'em out" In 1901 Captain
Dollar sent his first ship out to the
Orient, laden with lumber and
brought back in it a cargo of silk
and spices, rice and tea. He thus
practically opened the slumbering
Orient to American trade, which has
increased 300 per cent since that
time.
Today a multimillionaire and the
best-known American east of the
Suez, Captain Dollar resides in San
Rafael, Calf, where he lives fru-
gally and personally conducts fam
lily religious services daily, in his
own home.

- MART cOttons go galloping
~ through the fashion picture at
high speed this season. Keep US
guessing, too, as to their real iden-
tity, being silky looking one mo-
ment, dull-lustered and wOolly the
next, sheer. heavy, spongy, lacy,
sporty, dressy, formal or informal
as occasion may demand. When 1t
comes to novelty, the new cotton
weaves have it written all over
them and that is why in all fash
ion reports they are getting front
page notices these days.
The material which fashions the
attractive frOck centered in the
picture is a fair example of a cot
ton which cOnceals its identity. 1t
is one Of the new durene crepes-a
knitted crepe which is extremely
sheer and cool. 1t might be tweed
from the looks of it, which goes to
show the extraordinary tricks quail
ity-kind cottons are playing in the
game of fashion at the present mo-
ment. The fact that this handsome
durene cotton weave is dotted adds
to its prestige, for it's dots and dots
according to what "they say" in
Paris.
Speaking of novelty the new
mesh cOttons "say 1t" with empha-

mesh-cOtton family to announce its
debut is eyelet durene. The last

general duties about town. "Wall"
was a great teller of good yarns,
many of which the county clerk
wrote up for publication in the To-

story of driving bees across the
plains.
The editor of the newspaper was
Frank Bacon, who recognized the

WALKER REVEALED
IN GIFT OF BONDS
Wall Street Broker Tells
Probers of $26, ,535 Token
of Admiration.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 13.-The Hofstadter
Committees long-heralded investigation
into Mayor James j. walkers private
finances has begun with testimony that
he received a gift of $26,535 in bonds
from j. A. Sisto, Wall Street broker.
Sisto testified yesterday that he met
the mayor twice and became SO imbued
with admiration for his public life that
he bought 900 shares of stock with
mental reservation" to make some
money for his new acquaintance.
Gift Before Bill Passed.
Sisto, who participated in the f1nanc-
ing of the Parmelee Transportation Co.,
a taxicab concern, said the bonds were
presented to the mayor in the Winter
of 1929, before the Municipal Assembly
passed the mayors bill creating Board
of Taxicab Control.
The big taXicab companies were high
ly in favor of such board, it developed
from his testimony, while the independ-
ent operators opposed it.
Both Sisto and John J. McKeon, who
handed Mayor Walker the bonds while
they were riding uptown in a limousine,
demanded full immunity before they
would testify.
Mayor Walker smiled when advised of
the testimony and promised to make
his reply at the proper time.
Questioned by reporters, the mayor
said:
We'll, now, don't you think that
Judge Seabury has a prior right to the
answer to that question? I have moth
ing to say about it now, but it will be
answered when Judge Seabury asks
about it." He referred to Samuel Sea-
bury. chief counsel to the Hofstadter
Committee.
Sisto closed his testimony with a
statement that he had anticipated
profit of about $250,000 on a $4,000, 900
Parmelee bond issue his firm was un-
derwriting and an additional profit from
distribution of the company's common
stock. 1t was intimated that the stock
market debacle spelled the end of these
profits.

Further conjecture as to what the

wet or moist plank has been raised
by the statement by Senator Reed of
Pennsylvania that he favors system
OF licensed sale of spirits in Govern
ment-owned or Government-controlled
dispensaries, but is still against the

Senator Reeds announcement came
shortly after a statement in Cleveland
by Joseph r. Mutt, treasurer of the
party's National Committee. that the
wet victories in the Ohio primary
should be given consideration by that
States delegation to the national con-
vention. The Reed declaration was
regarded as strengthening greatly the
forces advocating a referendum plank.

An administration spokesman in the
Senate. Reed has been mentioned in
some quarters as President Hoover's
choice as chairman Of the Convention
Resolutions Committee. He said yes
terday he was speaking for no one but
himself that he was not chairman yet,
and that his statement had no con-
nection with administration policy. He
added he had not talked with the Presi-
dent for several days.
The Senator announced his views in
public letter to several hundred con-
stituents who had sought his views on
prohibition He said he had not re-
ceived a single unfavorable reply.
He favored the Swedish or Quebec
systems of liquor control. but said he
would oppose any repeal which did not
guard against the return of the licensed
saloon or permit dry States to retain
prohibition If they wished.
Reed probably will repeat his views to
the meeting in Philadelphia Saturday
of the State Committee and the delega-
ton to the National Convention. He
said in his letter:
Favors Strict Control.
''The eighteenth amendment represents
a positive benefit in that it put an end
to the licensed saloon and this benefit
ought not to be lost by any action that
we take now.

oppose any outright repeal that does not
provide for the continued prohibition of
