Prospects for the 1929 exhibition are very encouraging and a progressive program la being planned. atures have By ELMO SCOTT WATSON N AUGUST 26, 1881, a little group of white men and two Eskimos stood on the shore of an buy fifteen hun- dred miles north of the Arctic circle and watched a little steamer push Its way cautiously through a lead," a dark streak of open wuter which ran irregularly across the surface of the frozen sea. The steamer "was the Proteus, which had been lield In the ice there for six days jwhlle Captain Pike waited in vain for a "lead" to cleave a path through the ice of Lady Franklin bay so that he could start south towards civilization. The men who stood watching the ship until It disappeared from sight jwere members of the party officially known as the Lady Franklin Bay Expeditionary Force, which had been sent out by the United States government In the Interests of science. But It was more commonly known as the Greely Expedition, in honor of Its commander, First Lieut Adolphus W. Greely, of the Fifth cavalry of the United States regular army. Ills subordinates were. Second Lieutenants Fredericq F. Kisllngbury, of the Elev, enth Infantry, and James B. of the Twenty-thirInfantry. These with Octave Pavy, assistant army surgeon, eight sergeants, two corporals and nine privates, most of whom had lately been serving in the Indian wars on the western frontier, Jens Edward and and two Frederlk Thorley Christiansen, comprised the personnel of the party. Proteus" The departure of the marked the beginning of what has been aptly called "one of the supreme adventure stories of the world," a story of almost unbelievable human grit and endurance which forms one of the brightest pages in the annals of the American army. For two years this party was as much lost from contact with their fellow men as if they had been on another planet, and when finally the third attempt to rescue Greely succeeded, of the original there were Just seven left twenty-fiv- e alive and one of these died within hours. The other eighttwenty-fou- r een bad perished of starvation or accident after a series of adventures marked by Incredible suffering and Incredible heroism. The official records of the Greely expedition were made public soon after Commander V. S. Schley (Admiral war Schley, of Spnnlsh-Amerleafame) and brought its survivors hack to the United States on the Thetis, but It was not until nearly half a cen tury later that the heroic human side of the story became known. For more than forty-fiv- e years the diary of Sergeant David L. Bralnard, one of the seven survivors, lay unused In an old trunk. Recently It was brought to light and under the title of The Outpost of the Lost It was published by the Bobbs-Merricompany, Today there are but two survivors of the Lady Franklin Bay Expeditionary Force. They are MaJ. Gen. A. W. Greely, retired, the commander of the expedition, and the man who served as a sergeant under him, now Brig. Gen. David L. Brainard, retired. It is therefore especially appropriate that his old commander, who once called Brainard "the most remarkable of a number of remarkable men of that expedition, should write in the book a salutation to remind himself how Together with our comrades we ' -- v Xaced for nine months the prospect of death day by ay and were harassed lyvjh sight of Off associates perishing of VGtwmfon V.r front vicissitudes In the polar fiel'd."

Such a station was established, named Fort Conger and then the Proteus which had brought Proteus them, sailed away. The was to return the next year, if possible, to carry them away. If not, another relief expedition would be sent for them In August, 1883. In case it should fail, Greelys orders were to leave Fort Conger not later than September 1, 1SS3 and "retreat southward by boat until the relieving vessel is met or Little Island is reached," or until a sledge party from the Little island base was met. As a matter of fact the "Proteus failed to reach them in August, 1882. But, says the foreword to the book, The first year had not passed disagreeably, and It is doubtful if anyone regretted the experience, future uncertainty thrown into the bargain. The entire party had had the distinction of spending a winter farther north than any Arctic explorers had ever wintered, with the exception of an English outfit that had wintered on shipboard. Moreover two of their number (Lieutenant Lockwood and Sergeant Brainard on May 13. 18S2) had set a new Farthest North record In the centuries-olrace to the pole. Tluit first winter there was weather In which Medford rutn froze solid and the kerosene oil had to be thuwed out before the lamps could be lighted. . . . At first there had been plenty to do, and the work was intelligently organized by the commanding officer and tackled with zeal by the men. . . . But in a few weeks cold and darkness put an end to practically ail outside work except the instrument tending near the station. The monotony of the Arctic night produces strange effects on white men. They become melancholy, sleepless and very irritable. . . Every diversion twenty-fivminds could think of was tried out and dropped.

On August i, 1SS3, they set out In small boats through a lead which had finally formed In the ice after they had waited for it for several days.

Early In September they were forced to abandon their boats and for thirty-fou- r days they were adrift on floating ice. Finally they managed to reach Smith sound and landed south of Cape Sabine, north of and opposite Littleton island, which two hundred and fifty miles away. It was near here that the first year relief ship had been forced to turn back and far south of Cape Sahlne, ttie second year rescue ship had been crushed in the Ice and all provisions lost. The record of their stay at Cape Sabine Is one long story of terrible suffering. Here for eighteen months they lived on two months' rations. s The simple record of Sergeant diary reveals the horrors of those days ns can no extended description. On October 2 he writes: Brai-nard- 1 took an Inventory of the commieary stores last evening and found only 35 days full rations of bread and meat remained. These rations can be extended to 50 days, If we subject ourselves to a greatly reduced diet, but the suffering will be extreme In this low temperature where a man requires from two to three times the normal diet. Also, we have some very hard labor ahead ol us Incident to the building of winter quarters. October 28: What are we to do? As far as I can see, there is nothing ahead of us except starvation. Every hope of rescue this fall has failed us. How can we hope for anything now from a. relief expedition? The civilized world has forgotten us In our hour of need. March 4. 1884: Lieut Greely reduced the bread to eight ounces per man. Occasionally members of the party were able to shoot a fox to supplement their rations and Sergeant Brainard rigged up a device for catching shrimps. But as the weary weeks passed the inadequate food, severe cold and the conditions unde? which they lived took their toll. One by one eighteen of the members of the party including Lieutenants Kisllngbury and Lockwood died. On the evening of June 22, 1S84, Sergeant Brainard lay in the little fly tent which had blown down upon him and Ids six comrades. Beside them lay the dead body of another. But they were too weak to move It or even try to raise the pole of the tent. Suddenly a voice called out Greely, are you there? Brainard raised himself In his sleeping bag. He knew that voice!

Why not take a cue from the winsome model in tlie picture, and with a few deft gestures stylize gown to the queen's your color-luctaste? Assuming that the dress you are going to "touch up" is sleeveless, the first step would be to buy a square of wtiite crepe or white-fabrisuch as that of your dress, making it into a bandana, to be tied about the net-line after the manner pictured. These kerchiefs add ever so much of chic to the gown sans sleeves. And now for t fie coveted dash of color! circles In confetti colCut ors of any tidbits of silk crepe which you have been hoarding up to use when the psychological moment arrives.

There Is nothing more nlluring in the way of a summer frock than one of white silk or Jersey cloth, embroidered in colorful gay yarn.

Answering to the call for wtiite with color, peasant frocks of white crepe gaily smocked and embroidered are listed among this season's lending true-to-lif- modes.
