ANTARCTIC TALK ON RADIO HEARD BY EXPEDITIONS Three Parties Are Told of Labors in Broadcast From U. S. Hv Science Sm ice PHILADELPHIA. Feb. B—Penguins by the acre are among the profusion of water animals inhabiting the regions adjacent to the desolate lands of Antarctica that help make its exploration of value Dr. Isaiah Bowman, director of the American Geographical Society, told the American Philosophical Society here tonight. Speaking in the 141-year-old hall of the society, built with money raised by Benjamin Franklin, its founder, a portion of Dr. Bowman’s address was broadcast over a network of radio rations of the National Broadcasting Company, including a short wave station at Pittsburgh. Through this station three expeditions now in Antarctica those of Admiral Richard E. Byrd Sir Hubert Wilkins and Sir Douglas Mawson, heard their labors described. I .and Is Poor "Though the land life is poor, the shallow water life about the rim of the Antarctic is amazingly rich,” said Dr. Bowman. “Owing to the upwelling of the deeper waters near the shore, as the strong winds brush the surface waters away from the continent, there is brought from below the deeper oceanic waters rich in nitrates. “This is the key to that immense development of seals, penguins and whales, that excite our curiosity by their appearance in waters adjacent to the coldest, most desolate and most terribly windswept land mass in the world, the ‘home of the blizzard' as Mawson called it. In the studies made by these explorers w’e are learning more about the actual formation of the earth, said Dr. Bowman, citing the the theories of the late Professor T. C. Chamberlin of the University of Chicago. Core of Earth “Reflecting on the great contrast between the north and south polar regions, the one a hollow, the other a hump,” he declared, “Chamberlin speculated on the possibility that we have in these and other lineaments of our earth actual ‘birth marks,’ as we may call them. He saw in the assembly of materials of which the earth is composed traces of the original bolt of matter shout out from the sun to make the infant earth. “The core was built up of heavier material at the end toward the sun and of lighter material at the end away from the sun. The heavier Antarctic end was further shaped into the southern hemisphere while the lighter materials became the ring of land that makes the northern hemisphere. This might be called the ‘ring of life’ brr --> it made that wide belt of < nd upon which the higher typ life emerged that reached then -max in civilized mankind.”

MR. AND MRS. SPAT

'Doc and 'Fawn in Family Row

BY ARCH STEINEL “tt-vOC” PEARL SPATS nudged his better half, Fawn Spats, as he M_J peeped from a box on the store shelf. “Its a poor day, Fawnie, that I don’t cure some gent of the rheumatiz and prevent another old duffer from getting laryngitis of the legs,” he remarked. “We love ourself, don’t we, since we’ve gotten hairy-chested,” fawned Fawn. ‘What you should do is get some testimonials on street car cards. You ain’t appreciated.” So, at the behest of “Doc” Spats, Indianapolis men were queried and it was found that the foot overalls not only have grown hair on their chests and become masculine adjuncts, but have kept many an ankle from aching rheumatically.

Take James A. Babcock, Beau Brummel of the city’s barristers: “I’m trying to prevent rheumatism. Without doubt they help. Os course I run rather to extremes like O. O. Mclntyre in dress,” explained Babcock as he fingered his nifty derby.” I’ve never worn a pink shirt. Spats are warm and protect your legs from the cold.” • n n CRIMINAL JUDGE JAMES A. COLLINS was quick to deny the charge that he wears spats. “But I did wear them, thirty years ago, when I was poor and wanted to look like a million dollars. But since I’ve entered politics I don’t wear them,” joked the judge as he admitted the possibility that spats would keep the limbs from the lightning pains of lumbago’s twin-brother. In turn, a 1930 convert to the appendage cover-alls, Larry Henderson, assistant chief deputy county treasurer, briefs a case for the “Doc” as a protector against colds. “A visit to Chicago and the chilling lake breezes,” was given as Henderson’s reason for consulting “Doc” Spats. “Protection from inclement weather and the cold brings customers for spats,” reported C. E. Young, manager of the shoe department at L. Strauss & Cos. “Spats no longer are considered effeminate. They are a part of man’s dress. I can see where they’d prevent rheumatism or at least keep an elderly man from suffering from it,” explained Young. “You see,” declared Doc Spats, when he heard the testimonials, tations,” retorted Fawn. “Yeah! but you’re not so hot—in color—Pearl. It’s me they want to see when they come for consultations,” retored Fawn. And lo! the fight was on. The Spats were spatting. BURGLARS GET $2,500 Men’s and Women’s Clothing Stolen From Store at Argos. Bu United Press ARGOS, Ind., Feb. B.—Burglars broke into the Schoonover department store here and carried away men’s and women’s clothing valued at $2,500.

MELLON FLAYED BY BROOKHART FOR DRYLAXITY Nonenforcement Is Laid to Treasury Head in LaGuardia Debate. BY FRED E. MERWIN, I/nited Press Staff Correspondent CLEVELAND, Feb. B.—Debating before an audience of 3,000 predominantly wet in sentiment, Congressman Fiorello H. La Guardia of New York and Senator Smith W. Brookhart of lowa, blew the lid of prohibition enforcement in the country in Cleveland's public hall Friday night. Brookhart defended the affirmative side of the question “Can Prohibition Be Enforced,” while the fiery little New York congressman gave the negative arguments. From the first, it was apparent that the audience was with La Guardia and on a formal vote, with only one-fifth of the crowd balloting, he was given 355 votes to 100 for Brookhart. Hisses and some cheerk greeted Brookhart as he told of his faith in prohibition and his theory of enforcement. Laughter rippled over the audience as he attacked Secretary of Treasury Andrew W. Mellon as the man responsible for “present rotten prohibition enforcement.” La Guardia drew stormy applause as he offered a staggering array of figures to prove that enforcement was impossible and graft-ridden and that the eighteenth amendment was changing American ideals into rank hypocrisy. Both speakers parried each other’s trusts with a smart cleverness. When Brookhart said he saw no drunks in New York during a recent visit there, La Guardia laughingly asked him to visit the night clubs and look for lowa farmers.

NO FACE PERFECT, EXPERT DECLARES

Authority on Beauty Will Lecture on Makeup Art at Times Show. The perfect face? There isn’t any. That’s the declaration of V. E. Meadows, internationally known beauty expert, who will lecture and give demonstrations with living models at The Times great beauty show, opening Feb. 24, in the Travertine room of the Lincoln hotel. But he does contend that there is no face which can not be improved by a careful study of the features and a judicious use of makeup. “Most American women use makeup in a slonvenly, unitelligent manner,” he says. “They detract from their personal appearance instead of adding to it. Thick gobs of lipstick, careless smudges of rouge, and a heavy coating of powder give many of them the appearance of savages. They defeat their purpose by applying these aids to beauty with a heavy hand.” Meadows knows what he’s talking about, for his criticism is based on a study of well over a million feminine faces. In the course of his career Meadows has taught the foremost picture stars of America the fine art of make-up. Proper care of the face requires but a short time each day, Meadows declares, and there is no woman who can’t give the necessary time if she only will. The greatest need that he sees is Oldest Case Closed pv Timex Special EVANSVILLE, Ind., Feb. B.—The oldest case on the superior court docket was cleared when judgment was rendered in a case filed in 1922, which grew out of the failure of the Akin-Erskine Milling Company. The North Side bank was given judgment for $12,296.09, with interest to Feb. 1, in its action on a bond against the American Surety Company, New York.

a better understanding between the woman and her face. In other words, a woman must know her type, must realize what her best features are and must know how to make the most of her worst ones. Given this knowledge, he states that every woman can improve her appearance vastly. When he comes to Indianapolis under the auspices of The Times, Meadows will tell women exactly how they can determine their individual types and how to improve their appearance. In addition to his lectures he will personally analyze and prescribe for each woman in the audience. Meadows will lecture twice a day for five days, starting Feb. 24. There will be no charge for his lectures or for his personal analysis and every woman will have opportunity to hear him and profit by his knowledge. Further details of his visit will be announced daily in The Times. Watch for this information. lj.. _j. -im ‘-2 —^-3-j -n.
