"Little America. !"
Ross Barrier,

T Asst SUMNER millions Of visitors
/ to the Chicago Worlds Fair saw
one of the vessels which Rich
ard z. Byrd took with him when
he sailed for the Antartic IN the
Fall Of 1928. The ship was . center
Of interest because it had gone to Little
America"
Little America Is the name given TO
a place ON the coast Of the Antartic.
south Of the Ross Sea and bordering
the Bay of Whales. =.
The Bay of Whales Bay was 50 called
by early explorers because OF the nun
dreds Of whales which they saw swim
ming around in 1t. Although no furry
animals are known on the Antartlc
mainland, the waters around 1t support
whales and seals; and the ODD olros
called pengu1ns nest ABOUT the sn0is.
The objects Of the Byrd expedition
were to learn more about the Antartic
and to fly across the South Pole. Byro
had down over the North Pole, but no
one had looked down upon the South
Pole from an atrplane.
Great pains were taken In hitting out
the ships and storing them with things
which would be needed. Picks. axes,
shovels and ice saws were few OF the
tools taken along. There were baro-
meters, compasses, sledge meters. tele-
scopes and other instruments OF science.
Books and maps, moving picture cam
eras, radio equipment, caterpillar trac-
tors and airplanes were put on board
A "snowmobile" kind Of automobile
fitted with runners-was another part
Of the equipment.
Counting the sailors, there were IT
men; and q Of the II were planning
to spend . year and . half in the Ant.

On December 1l-just II years after
Amundsen reached the spot which he
at first believed to be the South Pole
Byrd and his comrades came 70 the
border Of an ice pack. For % days the
ships labored through ice-hlled waters:
and then, on January 9, 1929, sailed
into the Bay Of Whales.
Landing On the Ro. Barrier, the
men went ashore. Ross Barrier Is Q
mass Of ice about 400 miles square,
and the ice Is believed to have an aver.

And how good it was to have plenty
without having to hunt for it!
AS he pecked at it and swallowed
the bits that meant warmth and
strength, life itself, he was planning
what he would do. He knew every hole,
occupied and unoccupied, in the trees
for a long distance around. There was
none not already taken that he wanted
for a permanent Winter home, but
there we're two or three that would do
for shelter at night until such time
as he could do better. He would look
these over and decide on one. Then
he would make himself a new Winter
home and it would be where there
would be no danger Of such q disaster
as had come to his old home.
So it came about that before dark
that very afternoon, Hairy was hard
at work He had selected tree near
the edge Of the Green Forest, a tree
that was big enough to withstand
Rough Brother North Wind at his
worst. Half way up on the south side
he went to work It was sound wood
and therefore not as easy cutting as
dead wood But sound wood meant
safety, and safety was what Hairy
wanted most. Back and forth, back
and forth, flew his head, and at each
stroke bit Of bark at first and then
a tiny chip of white wood dropped to
the snow below. Hairy was losing no
time.

Weight No Bar to Charm With This Dress
French Designers Stage Mild
Revolt Against Vogue Of
Mumed Neckline.
Spring Fabrics Are So Beau
tiful They Make Women
Restless for New Frocks.
BY BARBARA BELL.

ABLES from Paris bring good
tidings to the large woman
who wants her appearance to
~ measure up to her slender sis
ter's French dressmakers have
staged a mild but nevertheless definite.
revolt against the sustained vogue OF
the muffled-up neckline. The result is
that fashions are becoming TO amply
proportioned figures.
The couturiers. among them Angus
tabernard, Lanvin, Schiaparelli and
Mainbocher. each in different way,
are bringing the trimming interest IN
their daytime frocks around to the
front.
Patou attracts attention by putting
q streak of color down the front OF a
street dress. Schiaparelli uses an en-
tire waist-front of white In a black
wool trotteur. Augustabernard cuts q
daytime frock with deep V neckline,
similar to the one in our sketch.
The early showing Of Spring fabrics
are so beautiful they make smart
women restless for new frock; one
that can go to lunch, bridge and tea, or.
If necessary. look right at dinner IN a
''don't-dreSs" restaurant.
For such a dress we have chosen this
town-type frock. an adaptation from
intricate detail at the waistline and
the low v neckline is unfailingly be-
coming to the woman whose figure de-
parts from average proportions.

day Book, when Hugh and Robert Le
Bourdett are mentioned, in 1885. These
men were no doubt followers Of william
the Conqueror, coming from Normandy
in the conquest Of Great Britain, In
1865. Mention Is also made Of John
de Burdet, from the Isle Of Guernsey in
1894, and Peter Burdet in the County
Of Leicester. William Burdet is recorded
in the Hundred Rolls Of that county in
1878.
The American Burdicks, or Burdetts,
we're represented by Robert, who settled
in Newport, r. l., as early as 1862, when
we find his baptisnal record. He was
active in the affairs Of the Colony and
served as Deputy to the General Assem-
bly, from Westerly, r. l., 1680-s5. He
married Ruth Hubbard In 1855 and
their children were Robert. Thomas,
Naomi, Ruth, Benjamin, Samuel, Tacy
and Deborah, goodly number, who
can account for q long line Of worthy
descendants, now living in various sec
tions of the country.
Robert Burdick died during the latter
part of the year 1892.

THAT DEAD LIMB, SPLIT AND
SHATTERED. LAY IN THE SNOW
AT THE FOOT OF 1T.
There he had been buffeted by the
storm until he was blown into a big
hemlock tree and had found shelter
by clinging to the south side of the
big trunk. There he had remained un-
til early noon. when the storm had
ceased. the clouds had been blown
away, and once more the blue, blue sky
was clear.
The first thing Hairy did was to fly
back to the tree in which had been his
home That home was no longer there.
That dead limb, split and shattered,
lay in the snow at the foot of it. He
looked at it in disrnay as he realized
for the first time what had happened.
It must have left just in time"
thought he. Yes, sir, I must have
gotten out just in the nick Of time.
I guess I was lucky"
Then 1t came to him that he was
homeless. He had no place to sleep.
and already it was afternoon. In few
hours it would be dark. He must find
shelter for the night.
But first" said he, ct must get
something to eat. hope there is still
some Suet over at FARMER broWnS
house I haven't time to hunt for my
food in the trees. It would be slow
work and hard work to get enough
there, anyway, with every trunk and
limb covered with snow and ice"
So he headed straight for Farmer
Browns, and when he got to that
feeding station he found a busy scene.
All the feathered folk of the Old
Orchard were there, also some from
quite a distance away. That shelf at
the window was fairly crowded. There
was a big fresh piece of suet on which
his small cousin, Downy, was feasting.
Hairy flew straight to it. He paid no
attention to the others. He was too
hungry and in too much Of a hurry to
gossip. How good that suet tasted!

Coconut

TIME coconut palm loves to have
its toes occasionally In salt
water It is native Of the
L islands that dot the Southern
Pacific and 1t is widely grown
In many other tropical parts of the
earth. There are wonderful old trees
some parts Of India. Florida has many
very beautiful trees. There are famous
groves of them and, as they grow so
easily in the sandy soil along the sea-
shore, many have been planted In re-
cent years.
You viii notice that many coconut
trees lean to one side. 1t was the
way the prevailing winds blew during
the trees youth. The trunk is very
smooth and usually slender, without
branch or leaf. It has a crown Of
leaves for its head. AS the tree grows
the lower leaf drops off. A tree will
yield from 100 to $50 nuts each year.
The flowers are lovely and are found
among the old nuts and the younger
ones in the top of the tree. They are
straw colored.
AS the coconut grows it Is inclosed
cording to the age of the nut, of
course. At the beginning the husk is
green. The young nut that is forming
within the husk is tender and creamy
and at the right time of its growth it
may be eaten with a spoon. 1t is
tender and delicious and there are
about two glasses of water, slightly
sweet, with a coconut flavor. This
stage is soon passed and the white
substance begins to harden into the
white meat Of the coconut.
As the nut natures the outer husk
grows brown in color. The shell on
the inside becomes very hard and the
outer husk has several layers of fiber.
When the nut is ripe the seal is
broken by the heavy dew and the

Possibly there is blind spot" here;
we may play hands occasionally at one
no trump where others would reach
four hearts and make that contract.
In general, however, you will find that
these are very dubious games. The fact
that responder cannot bid two no
trumps and that at the same time the
opener cannot, over one no trump, re-
bid his hand, usually means that any
game is very fluky. Let us make up a
hand where this condition would exist:

Here the bidding would be: One spade
one no trump, pass. Four hearts can
be made If you win one of your two red
illnesses and the heart suit is split. The
North hand will have to ruff a club;
now if West has Q 10 in hearts, it
is doubtful whether the hand can be
made even if the diamond flnesse is
won. Unless South's third diamond
were the nine, it would also be neces-
sary for the diamonds to be split. ANY,
how, let us admit that We might miss
a tricky heart game on this hand where
others would reach it. Now let us
strengthen the partnership holdings in
various ways so that game would be a
pretty safe contract, and you will see
how naturally we will reach 1t.
