 The Argentines are on an all- meat diet, which doesn't slow up their game a bit. For vitamins they l look to their tea" drink known as mate" Battle cry of the gau- chos is Al Hombre!'' which means ITO your man!" Reminds you of American football, doesn't it? Inci- dentally, polo is fast becoming a spectator sport like the gridiron game. For the international match es, the Meadow Brook Club expects 1000 spectators at prices that a big-league baseball game would post. Polo is played with the tre- mendous speed and hurtling contact that the American public seeks whenever it looks to sport.
 Polo is held on the biggest of all playing fields No field in the world is as hard on a polo pony as Meadow Brooks famed Inter national at Westbury, L. l., where the U. S.-Argentina matches are scheduled. The average field is 300 yards long and 160 yards wide. The 'International" is of regulation length, but 200 yards wide. This means that when players hit the ball toward the sideboards a horse in International field must go at a full gallop 40 yards farther than on the standard-size battlegrounds.
 Persians First PoIoists
 Polo is the oldest stick-and- ball game known to mankind It is a simple game, there is no "profes- sional' problem, and it is demo- cratic millionaires and cowboys team together There is evidence | it was played before the birth of Christ. First it was played in Per- sia, then in India, China and Japan Europeans first indulged in 1863 in Calcutta. James Gordon Ben nett brought polo to the United States in 1876 The first interna- tional matches, between the U. $. | and Great Britain, were played 10 years later. There are about 800 clubs in the U. S. today, and almost 1 5 1000 players, 5000 of whom are Registered for handicaps.
 i Going at top speed, pool pony travels at 30 miles an hour. The horses are just little smaller, just trifle slower than race horses. Complete equipment for polo player, including one S7,500 pony, costs about $7,80O Each player needs eight ponies. A groom, to take care of four of them, costs sl25 a month. A pony costs $35 month to keep up. The Argentines brought 45 mounts here, 20 saved from Olympic play just for the U. S. matches. They are about years old, mostly chestnut in color.

Great Chalk Formation
in Mountains of Norway

Geologically speaking, Denmark
owes its existence to the mountains
of Norway. Every stone in Den
mark once was a tourist from Nor
way, arriving with the glaciers on
a submarine reef of chalk and lime,
until in a manner similar to the
building of the Newfoundland sand
banks by the icebergs from Green
land, Denmark emerged. This fact
explains one of the most beautiful
sights in the country-coasts Of fan
tastic chalk formations in many
places, observes writer in the Los
Angeles Times.
The grandest of these formations
is Moons Klint, and described as
"the gem Of Denmark" This is a
range Of white chalk cliffs 400 feet
high and about five miles in length
rising straight from the sea. The
top is forest clad and extends in
places to deep gorges which split
up the masses of chalk, making
points and pinnacles of weird lowell
ness everywhere. It has stood for
thousands Of years, but from time to
time large masses 60 back to the
sea, as when the well known
Queens Chair" formation fell in
1868, making a temporary island
off the coast about 700 feet long,
which has since disappeared.

Efficiency Of Ants

Nursing ants, who rarely see day
light, spend all their time in the
subterranean chambers and pas
sageways feeding the larvae and
filling the chambers with new eggs.
The eggs are laid by the queen.
Unlike the short-lived queen bee,
she sometimes reaches the amazing
age-for insects-of fifteen to seven
teen years. ALI working together
these efficient creatures perform
their respective duties quickly and
skillfully, never making a mistake.
They prefer to mind their own bust
ness. If one side of their mound is
disturbed, they simply remove their
activities to the other side. If
the disturbance is violent, such as
a human foot scuffing up the dirt,
the soldier ants will organize and
attack.

Three Different
Kinds, Authority Relates

There are at least three different
kinds of icy humps and pellets that
fall from the sky, and they have
all been called hail. What science
regards as true hail occurs only in
connection with thunderstorms,
either incipient or fully developed,
and therefore, chiefly in warm
weather. 1t often falls in tornadoes,
but probably only when these occur
in a thunderstorm area, notes a
writer in Natural History.
Hail, as thus distinguished, con-
sists of balls or irregular Jumps,
each of which, on examination, is
usually found to have an opaque
snow-like center, surrounded by ice,
which is often in alternately clear
and Opaque layers.
The second class of icy pa ticles
takes the form of miniature snow
balls, about the size of large shot
or small peas. It falls in cold
weather, often in conjunction with
ordinary snow. Because it readily
crumbles, English-speaking mete-
biologists have commonly called It
"soft hail"; but this term gives way
to the German name ''graupel."
Lastly, little pellets or angular
particles Of clear ice sometimes fall
in cold weather. These frozen drops,
though fairly common, have until
recently enjoyed the distinction Of
being anonymous, so far as the
scientific word was concerned. In
the year 1916, the United States
weather bureau solemnly decreed
that such ice particles should be
called "sleet"-a word. alas. Of
many meanings.

In Stormy Iceland

Ice, volcanoes, mighty winds,
earthquakes and bitter cold are but
a few of the instruments Of death
which nature has forged to make
life gamble in bleak and stormy
Iceland. Earthquakes are of al
most daily occurrence and terrible
intensity. One, in. 1896, destroyed
more than 300 widely separated
farmsteads. Volcanic eruptions are
almost as frequent. There are LOT
more or less active craters on the
island. Just one eruption, in 1888,
overwhelmed one-fifth of the popu-
lation and four-fifths Of the cattle.
Treakish storms which suddenly
spring from nowhere and blow with
the violence of a hurricane also
claim their yearly toll of lives
among fishermen.

American Women Debating Design

WASHINGTON, Oct. "A wo- man columnist, writing from New York, says that an organization in- terested in the building of homes has made a survey of the American woman's wants in that line.
 This concern has discovered that women want their houses turned around, with the living quarters facing the back garden rather than the street They prefer side porch or a terrace on which the living room opens, rather than front porch.
 The one-bathroof houses, except for very small cottages, is out, the survey shows. Women want two baths upstairs and one down, II possible, when they buy a house. The master bedroom must have a private bath, and a connecting dressing room is desirable.
 The American public prefers a simplified version of sturdy Amerl- can styles rather than ultra mod ern architecture, the columnist writes. Finally, the kitchen must be absolutely up to the minute with the best of all labor-saving devices,

BARRYMORE: 3 \ \ ! 5: IS ]. STAR HERE IN CAPITOL FILM
Crime and Punishment Is Stirring Drama at the
 Coliseum Tonight

Noted as a smashing hit on the New York stage more than twenty years ago, "The Return of Peter Grimm" now comeS to the taking screen with Lionel Barrymore as the star.
 The profoundly appealing drama, at the Capitol, deals with kindly but tyrannical old meddler who al- most wrecks the lives of those he loves best by imposing his will upon them, but who is able to return from the dead to retrieve the mistakes he made in life.
 A stirring vivid drama has come out of Hollywood. Tonight at the Coliseum Theatre, an audience will sit breathless while the powerful classic by Dostoievsky, Crime and Punishment comes to life on the screen
 In the picture the performances by Edward Arnold, who plays the inspector and Peter Lorre, who is seen as the murderer, Rackilnikov, can undoubtedly be set down as two of the finest the screen has even seen.
