Will Start From Seattle In May to Study Phenomena?Trip Expected to Last Five Yaara?Now Equipping Ship. Seattle. ? Final provisioning and equipping of the exploring ship Maud, la which Oapt. Roald Amundsen, nqtpl Npngegian 'explorer and discov erer of the South Pole, will resume his interrupted Arctic expedition next May, Is being completed as the stout little ship lies In the laad-locked waters of Lake Onion here. coast last year, forced Capt. Amund sen to brldg tl)e Maud to Seattle for repairs. When the Journey Is to sumed the vessel will carry four ex tra blades, so that a similar accident mayv cause only a temporary halt to the expedition. The Maud will tarry provisions for seven years, although the explorer does ndt expect the trip to occupy more than Ave years at the moat. The most important of the Maud's equipment. In Capt. Amundsen's opin ion, will be the two airplanes, pur chased In Norway and shipped hers recently and which will be used In the making of extensive geographic and hydrogrnphlc surveys for a thou sand miles on either side of the vew ael's track through the northern seas. The primary purpose of the.expedi tion, which Is operating under the auspices of the Norwegian govern ment. Is to study the movement of the Arctic Ice pack, the effect of ocean currents, magnetic Influences and other phenomena of the polar regions. The airplanes Captain Amundsen expects will be' of great value tn this work. He said that he would probably use theta to reach the North Pole slweld his plan to drift past the pole with the Ice pack prove not feasible. A wireless equipment Installed aboard the Maud will be used to broadcast a message when he reaches the top of the world. Captain Amundsen expects to strike Immediately Into the outward or north em drift of the Ice as It leaves Beh rlng see next spring and to swing with the northeasterly current early In the summer. _ With the explorer will be .

One afternoon Mrs. Wright suddenly lapsed Into unconsci ousness. "Istey" skw her. The cat bounded to the side of his mistress and began to lick her temple for dear life.

"" " [ v " A I MEXICO WOULD ABOLISH PULQUE Government Tackles Big Task in I Depriving Poorer Classes of their Beverage. TRIED MANY TIMES BEFORE Canquiatadoraa Found th?_ Aztaca Drinking Pulquo, and It Haa Baan Favorita Tlpplo of Paopla fvar Slnca. Washington, B. C.?"If tbe Mexican government has undertaken to abolish pulque drinking, us dispatches say, it has assumed a task beside which the enforcement of our own eighteenth amendment would* seem a minor de tail of administration," according to a bulletin to tbe Washington (D. C.) headquarters of the National Geo-, graphic society. . "Edicts against pulque are nothing new in tae Mexican's life. As early as 1682, at least, a Spanish viceroy thought it would be a good thipg to, stop pulque drinking, and precipitated a riot which ended in the burning of public buildings, and as recently as 1917 an anti-pulque section was' in corporated In the new Mexican consti tution. But the Mexican has bliss fully ignored such prohibitions, as did the Artec before him, and as did the Teltec before the Aztec. "Drunk only by the poorer classes, pulque can lay one claim, that of age, to be an aristocrat of new world bev erages. The xonqulstadoree found the Aztecs drinking pulque, and the Az tecs told the legendary tale of how a certain Toltec saw a mouse gnawing at the heart of a growing maguey. Peering closer he discovered a fluid oozing forth. The observant Toltec sent his daughter to convey a sample of the fluid to his king. The monarch liked both the beverage and'the girl. To them was born a child named Me conetfln, meaning 'Child of the Ma guey.' From that time forth, so runs the story, the Toltecs began to decline in power and, their vitality sapped b* the wine of the maguey, they fell easy prey to the Aztec conquerors in tbe Valley of Anahuat^ "Pulque has long entered into Mex ican history, and Is closely related to social and labor conditions there, be cause the geography of certain dis tricts of the states of Hidalgo, Tlax cala, Mexico, and of the federal dis Met itself, is extremely favorable to growing certain varieties of cactus. There are 33 kinds of cactus which thrive in the Mexican plateau, all of which are grouped under fhe generic name of 'maguey.' The Greek 'Agave' '(noble) also is applied to this group, a" characterization which is defensible even if the maguey is comparable to a Gargantuan artichoke. Shipped by Trainload. "'"The visitor to Apam, a town of southern Hidalgo, might mistake the long lines of cars constantly - moving avtuy front the sidings as milk trains. Instead, they are pulque cargoes, many of them hound for Mexico pi*y, where the gluey, whitish fluid will find its way Inro the exaggerated 'schooners,' set out on the long counters of the pukjuerias. ?'The most: picturesque thing ubout pulqife is the method of Its gathering. If undisturbed a maguey plant would develop a stalk from three to five times as tall as a man. and thousands^ of yellow' i flowers would bloom on " this stalk. When the flowers are about to sprout this stalk is cut off. Xhe heart of the plant is hollowed, out. and Into the receptacle ti\us formgd flows the sup of the plant. This sap the natives call aguamiei. honey water. ? "Along comes the harvester, recog nizes a plant which is ready fbr him by the fact that the heart has been stuck on. one of the sharp spines of the cactus, and proceeds to empty the 'honey-water* into a pig-skin hag. A Difference in Viewpoint. "Fermentation of pulque is has tened by the introduction into the fresh liquid of 'mother-pulque' which - has been kept for ten days or two weeks. One's attitude toward the fin ished product is akin to that towurd the olive?only much more so. The ?disinterested partaker's reaction is al most Invariably the same?that pulque tastes like sour milk and smells like fetid eggs. "This beverage is drunk so gener ously by the lower classes, least able to restrain their appetites, that it has become an economic problem, of great magnitude in Mexico because of the Immediate enforced idleness It. cauoes, and because of the degeneracy that re sults from Its loug-tlme use. "Pulque is not to be confused with mescal and, tequila, both distilled liquors derived from the maguey, or with aguardiente, a brandy, distilled either from sugar-cane or from grapes. . "In lesser altitudes thin that of the Mexican plateau the maguey matures very slowly, a fact which led to giving the nickname 'century plant' to the vat-let)- found In the Southwest of the United States. -The abolition of pulque would not affect the high esteem in which the maguey plant Is held In Mexico; Not only Is Its beverage very ancient, but Its uses always have been many.
