In connection with an expedition
headed by Donald B. Mailman
the explorer. who will return for
the ninth time to his favorite
haunts of ice and snow on a shill
leaving Wiscamet. Maine. about
June 15.
The plan has been approved by
Secretary Wilbur and endorsed by
President Coolidge. The expedition
will also have the backing of the
National Geographic society. which
has voted to contribute toward lin-
ancing it.
The naval oflicers who will ac-
company Mr. MacMillan will be
granted extended leave. as has been
the case in previous polar expedi-
tions. and the entire party will have
a private status. notwithstanding
that Mr. MacMillan is a lieutenant:
commander in the naval reserve
force.
In this respect the expedition will
dimer from that projected for the
dirigible Shenandoah last year. Un-
dcr that plan. the Shenandoah was
to leave for Alaska and proceed
over the some unknown region and
possibly to the Pole. This night was
abandoned when President Coolidge
took the position that in view of
the expense involved he would not
authorize it without approval of
Longress. and the latter failed to
take any action in the matter.
For the MacMillsn expedition.
two planes of tho amphibian type
will be supplied. and the personnel
ior them will be selected from
volunteers in the Navy Aviation
Service. Although details have not
been completed. at. least three offi-
cers and two or three mechanics
will be accepted for the trip. one
of whom will be Lieutenant Com-
mander R. E. Byrd. now with the

who will be in charge. ‘
Already 24 naval officers. sis
marine corps officers. eleven navy
enlisted men and two marine corps
enlisted men have altered them-
selevs as pilots or aviation me-
chanics for the attempt.
The planes. which the navy prob-
ably will ask the Army Air Service
to provide because naval machines
of the type now under construction
will not be completed in time. will
be of the .Lsonlng tyne. ayd will
have a cruising range of more than
1,000 miles with a speed of mo:-
than 12.0 miles an hour. Mr. Mac.

plished with them in Arctic explor-
ation than has been done in the last

The memorial, which is to be
l-l‘rsented to Mr. Coolidge today.
says that with the failure of the
vffnrt of the League of Nations in
this direction. the cause of the out-

to be loat unless the proposed con-

"The fact. that within/ the past

says. "adopted by unanimous and
vniIJlslastic vote a detailed plan for
the outlawry of aggresive war in
the form of a draft treaty for sub-
mission to their governments. shows
that the time is ripe for it.
“The statement of the British
Foreign Secretary. Austin Chamber-

Britain's rejection of that plan is
mainly because she will 'not accept
Ithe obligation to support economic

Economy! Everybody harps on
economy and how to save money
without sacrificing quality. In
house furnishing this boils down
to the problem of obtaining the
cheery, artistic. “lived-in" room for
the smallest possible expenditure.
An inexpensive. but not a “chug;
material in the proper color is
better for house decoration than a
rich material in the wrong color.

ture. plain carpets and simple mat-
erials for draperies and bed covers
