My dear Miss MUNDSEN will explore by airplane this summer in the Jorth Polar reft glons and by radio will tell the world all about it as he goes along. So It does look, after all, as if there was something new under the sun. Capt. Roald Amundsen is the famous Norwegian explorer who discovered the South Pole. The purpose of his present expedition is to resume the work Interrupted last year by mishap. He started from Norway under government auspices to explore the Arctic. After drifting through the Northwest passage his vessel, Maud, had a propeller blade smashed in the ice off the northeastern Siberian coast. So the Maud was taken to Seattle for repairs. The sturdy vessel was thoroughly refitted in Lake lake. And thats how Union, Seattles fresh-wate- r it happens that Amundsens second start is from America. Amundsen visited Washington before his start and evidently established friendly relations with We want to find out what Is In Uncle Sam. the Arctic circle, he said there. It is believed thht the information which may be obtained from a thorough inspection of the territory around the pole will be of value to science. , "I am going to retire from the exploring business when this trip is finished, he said. "I have been engaged in making explorations ever since I was twenty-on- e years old, and I think it is about time to rest a little bit. The life is a very hard one and makes great demands upon strength and vitality. At any rate, I have been at it for a good many years and I have had about enough. Jules Verne has nothing on Roald Amundsen, as the Norwegian outlines his plans for exploring the roof of the world. His expedition will not be like those which have preceded it Its vision will not be confined to a few miles on either side of tjie ship, but from the air It will be able to take In at a glance objects 200 miles away. It will not be for years cut off from touch with the outside world, leaving friends and relatives to wonder if the northland had smashed In Its Icy fist the hardy adventurers who encroached or, its fastnesses. Instead, it will talk by radio , every day with all the world. It will not have spent years charting merely a narrow strip, but, with the aid of aviation will be able to chart 1,000,000 square miles, sketching the currents of the air as well I as those of the sea. He hopes to accomplish with his airplanes in a voyage what would take a score of years, millions of dollars and many lives if only n ship and dog sleds were employed. Now, heres another view of the expedition-ba- sed upon the additional fact that Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the famous Canadian explorer, is also headed for the Arctic. Capt. C. D. Pedersen, the "Lone Wolf of the Arctic, skipper of the whaler Hermann, thinks there's something doing beside science in these two expeditions. Captain Pedersen was in San Francisco Just before Amundsen's departure from Seuttle. He said he was anxious to sail, so as to get a ring-sidseat under the aurora borealis. From .that vantage point he wants to watch what he says is historys greatest international marathon across the top of the iworld, in which the untold riches of the north-lan- d will reward the victor. Principals in the International race to the pole will be Roald Amundsen, discoverer of the South Pole, wholl represent Norway, and Vilhjnlraur Stefansson, wholl carry the flag of Great Britain. Theyll start as soon as the Ice will let them Amundsen from Seattle with a ship equipped with airplanes and radio, Stefansson from Wrangel island with the equipment of dog sled. The two explorers tell the world theyll shut themselves off from civilization and risk their 'lives In Arctic Icepacks for the glory of discovery and scientific achievement. But. Wolf Pedersen says theres-morthan that in the expedition. He sees n race for vast treasures hidden behind the ice barriers. He says the explorers are seeking for Norway and England great radium mines, vast oil fields and coal deposits, fossil ivory, diamonds, areas of fertile lnnd where reindeer thrive. "I pannot believe, Pedersen says, that Eng-- , land and Norway have. gone to this great expense purely for exploration purposes. I myself have seen oil ooze from the ; ."For. ground .and form a lake near Iojnt Burrow oil so pure that natives burn it .in jlumps without ' ; refining ! ft l Ij ; . . , ' provisions, tested by Prof. Torup of the physio logical laboratory of the University of Christiania With the explorer will be Capt. Oskar Wisting, sailing master, who stood at his side on tht South Pole, and G. Olonkin, engineer. Six Siberian natives who joined the Maud in 1920 will be in the crew. Captain Amundsen expects to strike immedi- mendous. Anyway, ately into the outward or northern drift of the ice as it leaves Bering sea In the spring break-uand to swing with the northeasterly current during the summer. Provisions for seven years will be taken, though the expedition figures on getting through inside ' of five years. Just by way of reminder that getting to the North Pole even with airplane and radio and all modern improvements still has Its incidental hazards and thrills, Amundsens big flyer had to make a forced landing in Pennsylvania the othet day. Amundsen was Id it, but none of the adven turers was Injured and the muchine was only slightly damaged. However, as a reminder the forced landing was a success. Of course a forced landing in Pennsylvania le quite a different thing from a forced landing on the Ice In arctic weather and far from civilization. So there are possibilities In arctic flying that will keep the world Interested in the progress of the Maud and her aviators, There are even those who think thnt the attempt to fly to the pole presents one of the most dangerous expeditions ever attempted by man and that its successful accomplishment will put a great feather In the hat of aeronautics. Wouldnt It be a queer thing If Amundsen should go flying, some day from the Maud and ij should see Stefansson. crawling along by on the ice below him? And Stefansson, hearing the drone of an airship propeller, should look up from his sled on the ice and see Amundsen far In the air above p, al five-yea- rs e rry? I have seen coal beds so easily tapped f that even the lazy natives usef them. 4 That Is not all I have heard tales of fossil ivory, of furs, of radium, of great meteoric diamond beds that formerly furnished crown jewels for Russia. The wealth of the Arctic Is treAnd Pedersen may be right or he may be wrong. there is corroborative evidence of sorts. Stefansson certainly seized Wrangel Island last year and took possession In the name of Great Britain, notwithstanding It was discovered many years ago by United States naval Vessels and claimed as United Stutes territory. While Stefansson has refused to divulge the purpose of this years expedition he did say this: The development and colonization of the Northland will surely begin with the present generation. The mystery woven around the north has resulted from misinformation. Theories that it Is uninhabitable have been forever rejected, for It has been proved that fuel and food exist in abundance. Since the true conditions in the north have been realized colonization and commercial exploitation will surely follow. The animal life is the basis of attraction for commerce. At first It would be largely a source of meat stfpply, but there are also large deposits of oil, coal, copper and other metals. Amundsen seems to have many friends and they have contributed liberally to his exceedingly comprehensive equipment. An American manufacturer of airplanes has "chipped In to the extent of about $40,000. He has contributed an monoplane which has been tested to meet arctic conditions. Besides the monoplane, Amundsen trill take a scout plane, a smaller British ship which will be used only within the vicinity of the Maud. The monoplane, with a cabin in which passengers have She Is so been carried, will be equipped that site can carry large stocks of fuel and provisions and to her can be adjusted skis, wheels or pontoons, so that she can land on any surface. With her aid, Amundsen believes he course across the top can chart a of the earth. The planes will be designed to permit of landing on land or water and will be equipped with fuel tanks for twenty hours flying. Only one plane will leave the ship at a time, with the second always available for relief work. Two Norwegian aviators, Lieutenant Omdal and Sergeant Odd Dahl, accompany Amundsen. outfit and abopt They will carry a moving-pictur- e 30,000 feet of film. Both Omdal and Dahl are expert wireless operators and expect to keep the Maud In touch with Spitsbergen, and to receive messages from the Norwegian wireless station at Stavanger. They also expect to talk with Washington. They plan to flash reports from airplane to the mother ship, which Is equipped with transmitting apparatus of 2.000 miles radius. The ship then will communicate with Alasktf, and Nome will relay to the powerful station at St. Paul, on the Behring sea. St. Paiil will send the messages directly to Washington. Dr. H. U.

Dear Miss Brooks: I have come to you to ask a ques- tion. I (am sixteen years old and I have a boy friend who is the same age. He will go with me and take me to the show, but you dont know whether he likes you or not. Will you please tell me if you can how I could find out whether he likes me qr not? Sometimes he acts so funny you wouldnt think he liked anybody. I am hoping to hear from you soon. Your true friend, A WONDERER of Utah. Watchful waiting' would seem to be about the only course you can pursue. Your friend is very likely the quiet, reserved type and is possibly eccentric also, and it would take a long acquaintance with him before you feel that you really know him. Bide your time, dear if he likes you he will let you know about It, and in the meantime go to the Rhows and enjoy them and do not think too much about whether he likes you or not. He evidently enjoys being with you or he wouldnt care to take you any place, and that is all that is necessary at the age of sixteen.
