It Is soothing to hear one explorer after another pop Into the news with his detached plans to probe yet more nearly this narrowing world of ours. Amundsen recently has been rescued and brought back to civilization; MacMiltlan has his plans; Shackle-

ton is all set for the Enderby Quadrant; these are a .few of the more conspicuous. To the stay-at-home, with all lands brought to his Xeet through the illustrated magazines and the activity ut newspapers, here does not seem to be much left to look for in those two vague areas known as the polar regions. Not so with the Amundsens, MacMillians and Shackletons. They themselves pursue their course because they are driven by their imagination; they are permitted to do so and supported in the enterprises because of the material benefits which result from their observations; particularly of meteorological phenomena. The explorers dream of lost Islands, if continents are not longer to be discovered. There may be volcanoes unknown, mountains yet unperceived, gulfs not yet entered somewhere hidden behind the icy barriers, themselves yet unmeasured. An Island is always a romance, compact and personal; with its suggestive relationship to the nearest mainland and its indisputable Independence of it. i These are the things the explorer dreams about; and for these they venture in tiny craft into incredible iarls and privations. They are a strange, hardy breed, and the world has always one last mystery for them to penetrate, one last heroic undertaking to be essayed, that the people who buy and sell and walk the city streets may have a little bit more knowledge and -perhaps a considerable degree of added comfort and prosperity.

ir liian tu liiiUoli iutuu.. lifccau.e we am now on friendly terms with our enemy of 1812-14 Is no reason whywe should surrender any of our individuality as a nation or any of the patriotic productions that recall events in our nation&f history. In fact the plea for the abandonment of "The Star Spangled Man

ner" because of consideration tor tne uritisn is siuy. It is to be hoped that w are not sufficiently Anglophile to sink cur history in. oblivion because It affects the English. The letter would despise us were w so foolish. There are valid objections against It, however. It is of hipperty-skipperty meter and therefore difficult to sing. An ideal antfcem would be available equally for vocal or instrumental use. Yet to get those conditions along with words that appeal and a phasing air involves many difficulties. The fact that the air whs written for a drinking song Is anathema to some, yet it is a trival objection. Origin is not important if th air Is good. Despite the faults the song has, doubtless it will do until we get a better one and such things are not produced to order. 'h)ther congress puU the official stamp on It, It wU remain the anthem in practice and the British will hava to stand it- Likewise those Aniercans who fear lesi we hurt the British feelings.

:B USHNELL 'S ANIMAT ED WEEKLY IN 8 REELS

THE I0NO TEAIL There are still to be wrltttn many chapters of bow the motor car has affected our dally life; for it

Mas by no means reached the limits of its usefulness. Of late it, Is being put more and more to a new use. It has given us the individual known as the atomobile camper. This follower of the open road differs from the automobile tourist whom we have had with us for some time, in that the latter merely uses his automofile to take him fro ma hotel In one city to another. The automobile camper is a different bird of passage. He carries with him beside his family an ingenious camping outfit of his own devising. In tents at the roadside or cn the banks of a little stream they srend the night; and here the smell of fried bacon and coffee fills the morning air. . Theirs is no particular destination; nor do they travel on schedule. The road slipping by, mile on mile; a glimpse of wide plain and hills beyond; the strange noisesvof the night in quiet places these are simple but enduring Joys of, the follower of the open road. For nothing in the world would they exchange a month's outing of this kind. Surely the automobile has immeasurably Increased cur opportunities for wholesale enjoyment.

DR. WILBUR CRAFTS says Billy Sunday ought to mind his own business. And there ere those who say Dr Crafta should do the same.

JUST WHAT the fault is with some of the modern matches Is a mystery. Several attempts to light one throwa no light on the subject.

"THE ST AH SPANGLED BANNER." Tfcare Is much discussion of the bill proposing to make "The Star Spangled Banner" the national anthem. Much cf the opinion voiced on the subject is beside Itself for while the oem is not officially the national anthem it is so In practice. Whether it is made so bjofficial enactment wll not have much effect on Its use. The objection to it is based on the fact that it was inspired by a battle with cur late associate in war. Great productions are usually the result of some stress of spirit. When Francis Scott Key penned the words of the song we may easily imagine that he was anxious as to the outcome of the fight. He was a prisoner but in heart he was elsewFiere and he wanted to know whether the flag was still there. That is the thought of every patriot in a crisis. Those who would abandon Jt because they fear It hurts the feelings of the British probably are far more worried aout the rnat-
