The flag carried by Adj
miral Robert E. Peary when
he discovered the North Pole
in 1909 will be presented to
the National Geographic So
ciety at a special ceremony on
Friday at 8 O'Clock.
The flag will be presented
on behalf of the Peary family
by Admiral Peary's daughter,
Mrs. Marie Peary Stafford. in
recognition of the society's
scientific and financial sup
port of the admiral's work in
the Arctic. The occasion will
mark the 99th anniversary of
Admiral Peary's birthday.
DIR. Oliver La Gorce, presi-
dent, and DR.. Gilbert Gros-

of trustees of the National
Geographic Society, will re-
ceive the flag on behalf of the
2,150.000 members of the So
ciety in all parts of the world.
DR.. Grosvenor will then pre-
sent to Mrs. Stafford the So
ciety's Special Gold Medal,
awarded to Mrs. Robert E.
Peary, Admiral Peary's widow,
for her contributions to his
geographic achievements. She
not only accompanied her hus-
band on earlier expeditions,
but made the flag in 1898

his trek to the Pole.

TyroIean Costume
Actually meeting Dangl in
his workshop was a delight.
He wore traditional Tyrolean
costume and stood in black
ballet-like slippers, topped by
heavily cable-knitted stockings
and leather knee britches, sup
ported with brightly embroid-
cred braces over a homespun
shirt with sleeves rolled high
on his strong arms. His face
is movie-handsome. It's a
face and head you'd expect to
see him sculpting.
There are signs that bachelor
Dangl knows where he comes
from and exactly where he is
going. With elaborate casual
ness, on a second workbench,
were scattered letters from
customers in every European
country. the three countries of
North America, Argentina.
Brazil, South Africa, Egypt.
Gibraltar, and even Czecho-
slovakia. Beside them, with
the same offhandedness, lay a
parchment, sealed and dated
"1703." 1t was a passport
affair, issued by the count of
the region to one "Dangl,"
whose profession was wood

Wood Carver Dongl Austrian Adonis

PARIS. April 80. Two
things are left in Europe
that we'd thought were
extinct. One is a bargain and
the other is a tall, good look

taineer who did not harken
to the Lorelei call from Sun
Valley to become a ski in
structor.
This Austrian Adonis skis

he's a professional wood

him in his cellar workshop

was Is. twelve years ago.
While the other boys skied
their ways to America. Bid

blocks of wood from giant trees

Long Austria's most FASH
ionable winter resort. Kitz-
buhel is situated at the
eastern end of the Tyrol;
st. Anton, her near rival,
is at the western end,
not far from the Lichtenstein-
Switzerland border. St. Anton,
the smaller and higher of the
two, is the regular Christmas
holiday spot for Queen Jul
Llama of the Netherlands,
Prince Bernard. and their
daughters. Kitzbuhel is gayer
and patronized by young Eng
lish types, such as the Duke Of
Kent and his friends who were
much in evidence this year.
Castle Club
Nearby is Schless Mitter-

club for winter sports and

Pantz and co-owner Prince
Alec Won Hohenlohe. whose
wife is the former Honey
Chile Wilder. Becoming a
princess hasn't slackened
Honey's fast talk, the brand
she once used to match Bob
Hope on his radio show. She's
as funny as ever. Alec and
Honey were talking about
Dangl some time ago; they
were mainly interested in the
portrait busts he carves and
sculpts from life but they
spoke in low tones and to close
friends.
A Secret
Keeping Dangl a half secret
is where the bargain part of
the story comes in but this
can't go on forever. He's too
good, and besides the day is
gone when a prince could keep
an artisan busy and to him.

Alec Hohenlohe just isn't the
TALLER type. :
When success is due a per-

from all directions. Dangl

he also had one from Kitz-

Medieval Skill
The medieval skill of tinting
and the precise technique of
the laying-on of gold leaf are
dying out and public apprecia-

artists left who bother with it,
but Dangl does. So the hotel

Bowie's 33-day meeting which
closes Saturday must be record
ed as one of the most eyentful
in Maryland racing history.
Its big moments have ranged
from the stirring stretch duel
between Social Outcast and
Fisherman in the $4,000 Camp
bell Memorial Handicap last
Saturday to the disqualification
of both winners in q daily double
for the first time in turf annals.
Then there was the bombshell
exploded by the Bowie stewards
Monday when they suspended
Eddie Arcaro for 10 days and
knocked the veteran jockey out
of the Wood Memorial ride on
Nashua and a shot at 10 per cent
of the 100000 prize.
Hartack UnstOppable
From the start of the meet
ing Jockey Willie Hartack was
unacceptable as he piled up IS
victories in IS afternoons. Willie
may have gone on to some sort
of a record, except that the
stewards stepped in and sus-
pended him for 10 days for a
careless ride astride a winner
You can even get careless about
winners, but most bettors would
not know about that.
To liven up the Bowie after
Moons. there had been II claims
of foul, inquiry and 4 unoffi-
cial winners disqualified through
Tuesday.
The disqualification which
seemed to set the pattern for
this meeting, which has been as
unpredictable as an April shower
occurred on the first Saturday
when Ifabody finished first in
the Burch Memorial but was dis
qualified and placed fourth.
New Procedure Results
It was this disqualification
which brought about a new pro-
cedure for explaining foul claims
to the public. Ray Haight, who
handles the public address sys-
tenn, now advises the customers
to hold all tickets. explaining
that other horses may be in
volved in the foul in addition to
the one against whom an OBJ
lection has been lodged. The
procedure will be followed at all
of the Maryland tracks and prob
ably will be adopted throughout
the country.
