The scientists' and religionist: will some day comiJromise, per haps, a theory that life began 'Wit Atom and Eve. ‘ H Captain Bob Bartlett Again Enroute to Far North SOMEWHERE south of the Arctic circle, the tiny fishing schooner, Eifie M. Morrissey, today is plough ing her way through northern seas on a 15,000 mile voyage from New York to the east coast of Green land. It is the third Norcross Bartlett expedition to regions ice locked for eleven months of the year, and the ninth trip of its kind 1 for the Morrissey which in her ad venturesome career has logged 150,000 nautical miles. The expedition is in charge of Captain Robert A. Bartlett, the skipper-owner of the Morrissey, and Arthur D. Norcross, New York , publisher and sportsman. Co operating are the Smithsonian In . stitute, the Museum of the Amer ican Indian, Heye Foundation, and the American Museum of Natural History. In addition to exploring unknown lands, ice permitting, the expedi tion hopes to bring back plants and wild-fowl, oceanographic, meteorological, and archaeological specimens. Of the 28 men on board, 14 are scientists, and un usual precautions have been taken for their health and comfort. There is an electric refrigerator and by contrast 25 tons of coal in her hold for the steam-heating sys tem. Lumber for making dog sleds and steel drums of fuel oil for the Diesel engines, that drive her through the ice floes, are lashed on deck. There are nets for scoop ing tiny plankton from the ocean and high power rifles for killing seal and walrus. The food supply is as large as possible, in case the ship is frozen in for the winter, and consists of almost everything good to eat that can be jammed on deck or below. There are nets of onions, sacks of : potatoes and flour, canned goods Captain Robert A. Bartlett, the skipper-owner of the tiny fishing schooner, Effie Morrissey, now in northern waters. of every kind, hams and slabs of bacon sealed airtight in heavy paper containers, butter especially packed in tins, canned pineapple from Hawaii, and bottles of lime iuice. The pineapple and lime juice, Captain Bartlett explains, are to svard off the dreaded scurvy, men ace of mariners since the days of Columbus. However, the lime will lot be used except in cases of ex ;reme emergency. This is because recent scientific •esearch has shown that in addi ion to being delicious, canned pineapple contains more known nutritive values than any other fruit. The juice also quenches thirst, an important factor on in land expeditions where the water supply is melted snow or ice. On Such trips' away from the ship, the explorers will carry cans of pineapple, dried beef, and hard tack. Without fruit the men cer tainly would develop scurvy as the only other diet known that will prevent it is fresh meat and nothing else. In the Arctic the only such meat is seal, walrus and. polar behr. Mayor Puts Ban On Nude Dance At World Fair - Chicago—Dancing in the nude at various shows at the Oriental Village and other places along the midway at the World’s Fair was halted by the various concession aires because of an edict by Mayor Edward J. Kelly, who visited the fair the other night and saw a "lady Godiva” ride a camel and a woman dancing without clothing. The Mayor warned the conces sionaires they’d have to tone down the performances and as a result crowds that flocked into the fair grounds saw a fan dancr dance in trunks and a brassiere instead of just fans. One show, in the "Slums of Cairo,” was closed by a policeman after an investigator had watched a performance of a» fe male impersonator. The Mayor’s move was praised by Rufus C. Dawes, president of the fair, who said: "We welcome this help and cooperation on the part of the duly constituted of ficials, whose duty it is to see that the laws are enforced. There is certainly a limit to these dances and exhibitions and I believe that > the limit has been passed.” An orator is a man who can say "bill-yun” and make it sound ljke a plague of locusts.

Nations Seek| Favors In Case Repeal Voted Washington—The foreign pow ers already are clamoring to get a favorable treatment for their wines, whiskies and beers in .case the eight eenth amendment is repealed. France and half a dozen other nations have sounded out Ameri can officials in London and Wash ington on the possibility of tariff trades on alcoholic beverages. The line up of Tennessee, Ark ansas and Alabama for prohibition repeal, many diplomats say, has persuaded them that the Ameri can market will be opened to liquor imports by the end of this year. Naturally, they want information about the tariff policy this gov ernment will adopt in connection with foreign beverages—and con cessions, if they can get them. Portugal, Great Britain, France Spain, Germany and Italy were the countries from which the United States extensively imported pre Volstead beverages. The imports of alcoholic drink into the United States in 1913 to taled over 17,000,000 gallons with a value of $20,743,129. Tombs of Christian Kings Filled With Slaughtered Slaves.
