SCHOOL OPENS FOR EXPLORERS AT HARVARD U. Students Will Learn How to Search Far Places of Earth. By Times Kprrinl NEW YORK, March 19.—What is said to be the world's only school for explorers has been opened at Harvard university under the name of the Institute of geographical research. Here young aspirants for adventure in strange lands will learn how to read a compass, set up radio communication with civilization’s outposts, make their own weather forecasts, and record valuable scientific data. A graduate will be qualified to command an expedition. Opening of this school serves as a reminder that, even in this age of airplanes and fast travel, much of the world remains unexplored. And no one knows what may be found in some of the vast areas of the earth’s surface that still await the tread of the white man—perhaps strange tribes, great natural wonders, or untold treasure from bygone ages, says the April Popular Science Monthly. Inspired Conan Doyle Because of their inaccessibility, unexplored lands are the more likely to hold strange sights. Viewing the isolation of steep-sided Mt. Roraima on the Venezuelan border, the late Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Imagined its wild life untouched by outside forces of evolution, and therefore different from any to be found elsewhere. He made the plateau the scene of his famous novel, “The Lost World,” and peopled it with cave dwellers and dlnossaurs surviving from prehistoric times. That his idea had at least Some scientific basts was shown several years ago, when explorers found birds and animals entirely new to science, though no dinosaurs, upon the summit. Meanwhile monsters not unlike dinosaurs have been discovered in another part of the world. Natives of the little Dutch East Indian island of Komodo told of seeing "dragons” bigger than men. Giant Lizards Found Investigating, explorers found the island inhabited by giant lizards ten feet long, by far the largest in the world. Several were caught alive and brought to museums. Only further exploration can verify or disprove equally bizarre legends, such as that of the “ManEating Tree” of Madagascar. According to native myths, its octo-pus-like tentacles close upon and crush human victims, and legend speaks of a little-known tribe that offered human sacrifices to the tree. So far this botanical horror, a gigantic counterpart, if it exists, of "carnivorous” plants that trap and eat Insects, has proved elusive to those who have searched for it. Find Great Wall in Peru How near home some “finds” may lie was demonstrated recently by (he discovery of a “Great- Wall of Peru,” equaling, as a world's wonder, the celebrated rampart of China, in an area already thoroughly criss- crossed by expeditions. Why it remained unknown until now is as great a puzzle as its origin. Thus fascinating mysteries await the Marco Polos of the future. Huge blank spaces remain to be filled in on the map of the world's face, to say nothing of the unexplored vastnesses of the sky ten miles or so above the earth and the sea, but a quarter-mile beneath the waves. URGES CARE IN VOTING Judge Baker Tells Political League to Spread Organization.

MANDATORY DEATH STATUTE IS UPHELD
Drastic 1929 ‘Hartzell Act’ Is Constitutional, Says State Supreme Court. Constitutionality of the 1929 “Hartzell” act making the death sentence mandatory for any person convicted of killing while perpetrating robbery, burglary, arson or criminal assault, has been upheld by the supreme court'. The court also ruled it is within the province of the legislature to make mandatory sentences and that they must be carried out by judge in passing judgment after the defendent had been found guilty by the jury. Case in point w'as the murder appeal of Ulysses Mack, giant Gary Negro, convicted of slaying Josephine Oodorizzi, 20-year-old Italian girl, while committing robbery and criminal attack. Conviction was affirmed and Mack is to die in the electric chair at the Indiana state prison July 1. Constitutionality of the mandatory sentence law had been attacked by Mack’s attorneys on four points. They were: The statute deprives the accused of life and liberty without due process of law. It takes from the court, or jury all discretion. It gives the trial court the right to pass sentence upon the accused and deprives the jury of its constitutional rights as judges of the law and facts. It deprives the jury of the right to fix the penalty and denies it the right to differentiate between the lesser and greater degrees of the offense. The opinion, holding that the prescription of penalties is a legislative function, was written by Justice Clarence R. Martin. WHAT’S THIS; A GAME?

DEPRESSION BLAMED ON POLICIES Ritrhie Declares Republicans Hold No Secret Prosperity Formula. By United Press NEW yORK, March 19.—Economic policies of the Republican party largely were responsible for the present depression, according to Governor Albert C.

SALES TAX IS BATTERED BY HOUSEVOTING Leaders Sponsoring Measure Are Dejected on Prospects for Revenue Bill. BY PAUL R. MALLON Foiled Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. March 19.—The sales tax appeared to be badly battered if not beaten, as the house ; started the second day of voting to- | day on the billion-dollar revenue bill. Leaders who sponsored the new ; levy of 2V* per cent on manufac- ' turers’ sales frankly were rejected. I A Republican leader privately admitted there appeared to be no chance for its adoption after Friday’s unruly session. The rank and file are bent on a program of more drastic taxes on the rich and elimination of the sales levy. Their next move will be to boost the estates and gifts tax up to the 65 per cent maximum wartime level they fixed Friday for surtaxes. The sales tax probably will be reached Monday. May Go Bark to Committee If that is eliminated the bill will be so emaciated it may have to be abandoned and sent back to the ways and means committee for orderly rehabilitation of its schedules. That i§ the purpose announced today by the opposition leader, Representative Fiorello H. La Guardia (Rep., N. Y.). “After the sales tax is beaten,” he said, “the bill ought to be taken back by the committee and other provisions for raising revenue calmly considered. We shall be ready to co-operate with the committee to balance the budget.” The leaders who framed the bill were dubious. They have never before been at the mercy of their followers as they are now. Acting Chairman Charles R. Crisp of the ways and means committee announced he would plod along with the bill until the end, “doing my duty” until the mob gets through tearing the bill to pieces. May Boost Estate Tax Speaker John N. Garner’s only ; comment was a statement that the budget would have to be balanced, and it was “a debatable question” how it should be done. The two insurgent amendments now inserted in the bill will produce $150,000,000 a year more in revenue than the coalition bill provided. As it stands now the bill would raise $1,233,000,000 a year. The sales tax is worth $595,000,000. If no other changes are made, and the sales tax is eliminated, the bill will be about $400,000,00 below the amount fixed by the treasury as needed to balance the budget. Boosts in the estates and gifts i taxes, contemplated today, may i make up some of this lost revenue.

WOMEN’S CLUBS TO SEE MODEL HOME
Visitors Urged to Select Week Days to Avoid Holiday Crowds. Check of attendance at the 1932 model home, 5240 Cornelius avenue, today showed that over 27,000 persons have inspected it. “Attendance has exceeded all anticipation,’' J. Harry Miles, president of the Home Builders Association, said. “We are sorry that the immense crowds have prevented careful scrutiny of the house. With so many people going tfirough at all times it has been impassible for any one to get more than a general idea of what the house is like.” Miles urged that any one planning to visit the house should go on week day afternoons and evenings. “There have been such tremendous crowds on Saturdays and Sundays and holidays that visitors can scarcely get through,” he said. J. Frank Cantwell, program director, has arranged several activities for the next few weeks at the house. Various women’s clubs in the city have been granted the privilege of holding their meeting in the social room of the house. Several clubs have availed themselves of this opportunity, and others are completing arrangements. Among those who have definitely arranged for their meetings are: Amicitia Club, which will meet March 22; Independent Social Club, which will meet on March 29; Minerva Club on March 30, and the Alpha lota Latreian on April 5. Miss Helen Ready will be at the house Wednesday afternoon. March 23, and talk on interior decorating. All women interested in the subject are invited. Girl Scouts of America will be hostesses at the house the week of March 2T, doing work which will be associated toward merit badges in home economics.
