also the ladies ladies all of them big game hunters will hunters will go ashore in quest of kodiak bear It is the ambition of ot Mr Borden to bring back live Jive specimens as well as mounted bear The mounted will specimens s will be presented to the Field Museum which does docs not have lave ave that variety represented among its exhibits No hardship says the optimistic Mr Borden No harder on the ladies than deer hunting in Vermont or going duck hunting bunting on Long Island on a cold morning About the middle of June the party will go into Dutch Harbor supplies head bead headquarters headquarters quarters for the Bering Sea region Then the nose of the Northern Light will be pointed northward toward the Islands for a see look-see at atthe atthe atthe the famous government sea seal breeding- breeding grounds Nome will be the next stop It is b at Nome that Miss Cummings and the Goodspeeds will leave and Mrs Scott and Miss Ames will go aboard Then the Northern Light will put

of real sport in by Straits in mind Three double cabins and one single will house Mr Bordens Borden's seven guests A radio will keep the travelers in touch with the outside world A trained radio operator is a member ember of 0 the crew So Sois Sois Sois is a trained camera man The latter should get some good shots for the news reels certainly even if the expedition never sights a walrus or a

phonograph all north no th of three fifty-three is one not often encountered in the every-day every life lile of the average movie Being chief booster for the Arctic as the summer resort of the future Mr Borden is getting a lot of fun out of it now for he says when be gets his party back to Chicago they will all be singing the glories of the North Country and there will bo be no distinction in his stand Alaskan scenery 1 I he rhapsodizes on the slightest encouragement Why Alaskan scenery is superior to anything in Europe Ask my wife She's trotted all over Europe up Swiss mountains and down canyons in the Pyrenees and she's never seen anything to equal It St The mountains and volcanoes are greater The fiords fords surpass anything Norway can lay before the scenery shopper They are deeper and possessed of more wild natural grandeur Glaciers I When you speak of at gla glaciers ciers you think of at Switzerland But let me tell you something There is a glacier in Alaska that is larger than the whole of Switzerland Futon faunas r. r too IDa Fishing I Whales are still common Giant salmon too Halibut codfish and trout may be taken almost any anywhere where whereOf whereOf whereOf Of

summer in the North they are not overlooking anything Any photograph taken north of three fifty will not show them up as dowdy frowsy or in need of facials or permanents Borden will command the expedition He was a lieutenant-commander lieutenant in the Naval Reserve Corps during the thc World War The Sea Scouts who will make up op the bulk of the crew range from seven seven- seventeen seventeen n- n teen to twenty years of age and most of at them would summer at Bar Harbor or Newport if they were not signed up In addition to them and a few sailors there will be bo two mates and a navigator If the Arctic vacation proves as ad ad- advertised advertised advertised there is a possibility that a D group of at Chicago capitalists will charter r several ships in the summer of 1928 and specialize in transporting tired business businessmen men and their wives to that northern land Borden is not willing to enter such a scheme but says it ought to pay R a i- i ir i L r J ii 1 ft r
