people can float on the air mat
tress and let waves carry them
in toward shore.
There are big and little shells
You can hear the ocean in one
of my round shells. I brought
many shells home for my collec-
ton.
Under the Ocean.
When we went to Atlantic City
we walked along the Boardwalk
The Steel Pier sticks out from
the Boardwalk. There are many
things on the Steel Pier. such
as the diving bell. The diving bell
is round on the sides and on the
top and bottom it is rather fiat.
There are little round windows to
look out.
When we went under the water
it was all green. The man said
the day before we went down
there were a lot of fish. But when
we went down in the diving bell
we didn't see any fish. We were
10 feet from the bottom of the
ocean.
The man told us to hold on
to the hand rail. All Of. sudden
we popped up. When we popped
up fast. we all laughed. Under
the ocean is very exciting.
The Water Show.
Way out on the ocean at the
end of the Steel Pier, we saw
the Water Show. 1t was night
time. We sat on steps under the
stars.
The first actor was a girl, doing
tricks up on a high trapeze over
the water.
Next were five funny men in
old-fashioned bathing suits. They
dived and yelled at each other
The master of ceremonies said
Don't bring too much water or
the deck. So one man shook
his bathlng suit ana poured lOl
of water on the man below him
on the ladder.
One man said, I'm going to dc
an extension dive" He took 9
plank and put it on the diving
board sticking out over the end
He took a hammer and no nails
and pounded the plank. He rar
back ready to run and dive
Another man carried the plank
away. The first man ran Out
and kept his feet running in the
air while he fell down.
A trained seal balanced a bal
on his nose. He tossed the bal
in the air and caught it again
on his nose. The trainer put q
doll on the seals nose. The seal
gave the doll a ride over the
water. ..
The last act was a girl who did
acrobatics on q big star. high
on top of a pole.

Embassy Rank for ireland
Requested by Mccormack
By the Associoied Press

House Majority Leader McCor-
mack yesterday asked the State
Department to raise the American
ministry in Ireland to the rank OF
an embassy.
Mr.. Mccormack wrote Secretary
of State Acheson that the United
States exchanges ambassadors
with many nations of lesser sig
nificance."
although Ireland is a small
country in size, its contributions
to our welfare have been tremen-
dous," he said. 1T is my opinion
that such recognition on the part
of our Government would be most
pleasing to the peoples of both
countries.

A record is funny thing
It's only an imitation

And extend music appreciation.
You place them on your phono-

Then turn the button round:
The result may make you laugh.
But pleasant might be the

Now you put them all way,

For some new ones you will pay

BY Ramon Coffmon-

Our winters are easy" when
compared to those Of the Eskimos.
and especially those who live in
side the Arctic Circle. In the area
around the North Pole the winter
is without sunshine. Darkness
closes in at the end of October
and lasts until early February.
Robert E. Peary. polar explorer.
tells how he lived with a party OF
explorers and Eskimos at Cape
Sheridan during the winter OF
1908 and 1909.
The captain found it hard task
to go northward because of the
gathering masses of ice, but he
managed to reach Cape Sheridan.
in the extreme north of Green
land.
The ship cast anchor as near to
the shore as the ice would allow.
and sledges were used to haul hum
dreds of boxes ashore. The boxes
were used to build the walls Of
three large huts. Each box was
placed in such way that it would
have an open end inside the house.
This made it possible for the con-
tents to be taken out as they were
needed. Inside the boxes were
cans of bacon and pemmican.
$50 Miles from Pole.
Peary was $50 miles from the
North Pole. and spent most OF his
time aboard the vessel. which was
anchored $50 yards from shore.
The chief problem was water.
At many places there were cracks
in the ice. For his drive" to the
North Pole. Peary chose time
when most Of the cracks were
narrow.
Even 80. he met with troubles.
Between cakes of ice. there were
many spaces Of from 3 to feet.
The men and dogs had to leap
across those spaces, and there
were sledges to think about. The
sledges used by Peary had runners
IL feet long, being almost twice the
length of an average Eskimo
sledge. The length of the runners
was of great help in keeping the
sledges from dropping into the
water.
No sun appeared but there was
moonlight at times. On the aver
age the moon was seen on nine
days a month. On certain days
there were so many clouds that
both moon and stars were out of
sight.
Hunting by Moonlight.
During periods of moonlight the
Eskimos and white explorers went
out to hunt seals, Walruses, Arctic
hares and other animals. They
brought in as much game as pos
sible so there would be fresh meat.
Alcohol stoves were used to melt
snow for supply of drinking wa
ter. The Eskimo dogs Tapped up
snow and let it melt in their
mouths.
When the long, dark Arctic
winter had passed. and the sun
appeared that was fine, but the
air was cold. At times the tenn
perature went down to more than
As degrees below zero. One night
it sank to SO below.
Before the winter was over, work
was started on the drive toward
the North Pole. Several parties
of Eskimos, each led by a white
man, made Journeys across miles
of ice foes to set up food depots.
One of these was led by Donald
Macmillan, a Yale graduate who
later was to win fame as an Arctic
explorer while leading his own ex-
peditions.

Chess
By DonoId H. Mueridqe

NEW YORK.-Even at the dull
est point Of the season. q lot OF
chess is played in New York. At
the Marshall Chess Club no fewer
than 80 are competing in the pre-
liminaries Of the next club cham
pionship.
They are divided into five 10
man sections, and the two lead
ing players in each section will
win the right to play in the finals.
There they will meet the seven
leaders in last years tourney, to-
gether with q few other seeded
players. such as Edward Lasker,
Herbert Seidman and Albert c.
Simonson, If these choose to enter.
Sweating it out in the prelim-
inaries are some very well-known
people, such as jeremiah T. Dono-
van, Theodore Dunst. Harry Fa-
jams, Walter Goldwater. Franklin
s. Howard. Edgar T. Mccormick
and Harold M. Phillips. Since a
different evening is devoted to the
games Of each section, and Tues
day is consecrated to the weekly
rapid transit tourney, the
Marshall Club is busy the week
around.
I took part in the rapid on
August 80, and was witness to a
very impressive victory by Jack w.
Collins. Collins is confined to a
wheel-chair, and most Of his chess
is by mail, but he plays the 10
second game with the accuracy
and detachment of machine. He
won every one of his 16 games.
Milton S. Hanauer was second
with 1872, and I was third with
1873: young Elliott Hearst, fourth
with 121a-312. and Nicholas Bakos
fifth with 1112-4ha.
Seventeen is not a large entry
for a Marshall Club rapid. which
usually runs to Is and goes on
into the small hours. but good
number Of the. usual participants
are upstate attending the New
York State Open at Rochester
among them the Bryne brothers
and Larry Evans. the clubs best
speed artists. Why the club does
not reduce these events to prac-
tical proportions by splitting the
players into an A and a B group
remains q mystery-unless it Is
that the buffers entry fees swell
the pot, which is considerable.
The Manhattan Chess Club has
seen two events of exceptional
interest recently. On August 16
Samuel Reshevsky. the United
States champion. played a match
game blindfolded against Herman
Pink, lately of Argentina, but
who now intends to make his
home in New York. Reshevsky
won in a game which has been
generally admired. On the goth,
DR.. Reuben Fine set himself a
task which, so far as we are aware,
was quite unique. He undertook
to play a match Of 10 rapid tran
sit games against Herman Pink,
Fine being blindfolded and Pink
not. He did not quite bring it off;
Pink won six games to Fines
three, while one was drawn. The.
decisive factor was Fines lack OF
practice and training; he lost sew
eral games through simple blum
ders in favorable or won positions.
The fourth game, which he won.
was quite interesting, and had q
characteristic Fine finish.
