The dark gray suit of the man of wealth who explores the Arctic simply for thrills bore no sign of the Order | of Olav with which Norway decorated him for the rescue of Oskar Omdal and Lief Dietrichsen. He brushed the short brown hair, graying at the temples and bordered with freckles across the forehead and explained ith his light blue eyes twinkling: “Oh, 1 guess 1 can leave medals in my trunk for awhile.” “Yes,” he answered a question, ‘'we were under u terriffic mental strain as we tried for days to get our plane into the air to return, but no tem pers were lost, there was never argu- ment and no one lost hope. Hope is what saved us. Amundsen kept re- peating over and over ‘when its dark- est, there's always light.” Food_ Supply Sufficient. We didn't physically, ex- cept that some had trouble With our feet. The half pound of liquid food allotted per day was plenty. None of us were hungry. We shoveled 300 tons of ice with three small wooden shovels to make a runway for the plane. No, we never could have walked to safety. We wouldn't have lasted 50 miles. All of this came rather reluctantly and bashfully, but when a future irip was mentioned Mr. Ellsworth wa up. T on't ihink an airplane will ever be practical for real investigation of the polar lands,” he said, “because of the difficulty of landing. A super- lane might be developed or an air- hip.

There were no waliting throngs in the Union Station to bid her a sorrowful fare- well.

Few recognized her as the widow of the Commoner, with whom she parted Friday afternoon in the cemetery of the Nation's warrior dead, Arlington. Accompanied By Her Kin.

By Consolidated Press. CHICAGO, August 1.—Wholesale criminals is urged by Chief Justice Hopkins of the Chicago Criminal Court as the one means to clean up the crime situation In this country which he says has assumed the pro- portions of an armed insurrection. “It is my opinion that armed gun- men, where they roam about, should be shot on sight, because it has now become a_question as to whether the officers will be killed first or the des peradoes,” the Chief Justice declared in_epitomizing his position. Exploits in crime, one after another in all parts of the country which pro- gressively become more daring and more formidable, leads Chief Justice Hopkins 1o assert that the criminal problem is the most important now facing the nation. “There has been nothing since the ivil War,” he declares. And in his position as head of the court system in Chicago, notoriously the center of the crime wave, Judge Hopkins is in a position to know whereof he speaks. Want Modern Vigilantes. “The time has come when not only judges and prosecutors and such of like it the crime situation in the Nation, but all bodies, such as associations of commerce of the great cities and business men should organize even to the extent of vigilantes if neces- sary” the judge advises. “It is as bad as the old days of Frisco, when citizens had to take things in their own hands to drive them out by force.” Even as Justice Hopkins was mak- ing his statement, bandits entered a Chicago and robbed a jeweler $10,000 during the middle of a busi- ness day.

TONDON, August 1.—"A successful hold-up of the community” and “milk ing the taxpayer” are phrases which former Premier Lloyd George today applied to the truce between coal miners and mine owners, the govern ment's part in which has brought the ministry more blame than praise. Premter Baldwin's critics accuse him of having submitted to coercion, not only from the miners and the Trades Union Congress, but also from the mine owners. It is alleged that Winston Churchill, chancellor of the exchequer, in trying to protect the taxpayer, attempted to get the mine owners (o agree to a profit of four pence a ton, but after a long and stubborn fight he eventually had to concede them a profit of 15 pence a ton.
