By Wireless to The Star and the New York Times. ON BOARD THE BARK CITY OF NEW YORK, November 1.—During the last six weeks since leaving Panama the City of New York, having previously been put into shipshape condition, op- portunity has been siezed for the active establishment of an expeditionary school giving instruction in various flelds connected with Polar exploration. Hence, despite the failure of the usu- ally dependable trade winds, making | what might have been a tediously slow voyage, the crew has been kept interested and occupied by the acquisi- tion of extremely valuable information and training. We read that Comdr. Byrd has or- ganized the present expedition not as a mere dash to the South Pole, but as a well based scientific attempt to wrest from the Antarctic the solution of many important problems. As leader he has emphasized that in order to make Polar research less hazardous and less dila- tory, education of the rank and file of the expedition is essential and that no man should be included who has not wide interests and a capacity for tak- ing up others. Knowledge Important. He had imbued all of us with the idea that in Polar research, as in all other creditable scientific work, con- | where you | want it Stand in front of the Cozy Glow and let its comforting warmth envelop you from head to toe. It warms up cold cor- ners and cold people. For warmth—on the dot—on the spot— you need a of these Electrification Dealers Galthersburs Elec. Co., Gaithersbars, R.

He recognizes that results of perma- nent value cannot be acquired with purely untrained men, no matter how | willing, how qualified in their judgment, Jhcx ; hardy or how well organized for covering the ground. Success and the very lives of fellow members may de- pend on the first-hand knowledge of each man. On this basis, with every member an enthusiast at the outset and willing to put his special information at the disposal of all, the expeditionary school established on board the City of New York will undoubtedly be continued among the other groups and Comdr. Byrd's base on the great ice barrier. Capt. Frederick C. Melville, of many | years’ experience in deep water naviga- | tion, was the first to offer his services in the formal inauguration of the school. His efforts have snown com- mendable results in the proficiency of 'th pupils, especally in the navigation class, which meets three times dally. Crew Given Lessons. Capt. Melville also gives courses in astronomy and weekly lectures in sea- manship. Practical sailing, deck man- agement, rope splicing, etc., are taught by Chief Officer C. J. McGinness. Lectures on polar living conditions, hunting, the signficance of various types of ice formation, ice piloting, the art of skling, etc., are given by Second Officer Sverre Strom, Boatswain Hen- :Hcléf.!c;h;:unhand by Chris Braathen, vhom have spen ye in the Arctic. prn DN The special conditions, to be met with- in the Ross Sea were discussed by Carl Petersen out of his large experience in Antarctic waters with both English and Norwegian whalers. Petersen, one of the expedition’s most valuable assets, being an extremely proficient radio op- erator, has been selected to continue to New Zealand on the Eleanor Bolling in order to expedite radio work that must. be tom{)le'&d. For the next few weeks we will miss him. A course in radio transmission is being given by Ensign Lloyd V. Berkner, United States Naval Reserve, radio en- gineer of the Bureau of Standards. He is assisted in a speclal course in aviation radio by Lloyd K. Grenlie of 'fh:m valdlwngearch Laboratory and ormer radio officer o e, n the Byrd Arctic Radio Code Taught. Practically every member on boar ship is able at present to send -ng receive code in some form or other, thanks to the course given by the radio {’}:ewe‘:lec :lssl.st In‘l giving ;.mktlrucuum in on and use of t xuli‘gtoutnu. e o ures on weather prognostication, including the observation and interpre- tation of meteorological data, are given by Henry Harrison, lately connected with the Weather Bureau at Hadley Field. Problems of terres-electricity at high latitudes are treated by Frank Davies of the department of physics of McGill University, Davies also is giv~ ing instruction in the use of the sonic depth finder in connection with ocean- ographic survey work. Geological problems, surveying and mapping. are discussed by George Thorne of Yale and Quinn Blackburn of the University of Montana. The special problem connected with motor lubricants at low temperatures is discussed by Chief Engineer T. B. Mulroy, while Chief Gunnery Sergt. Victor Czegka of the Marine Corps is lecturing on the care of instruments of precision and on the use of the rifle and other small arms. A practical course in photography is given by Jo- seph T. Rucker, an internationally known aerial photographer. Food Selection Studied. A practical course in the selection and preparation of food for sled parties, airplane flights and bases is given by Louis Gerchardt and Bert Creagh. Ja- | cobs Bursey gives instruction in the | care and management of dog teams. A wide variety of biological problems peculiar to the Antarctic regions are discussed by Dr. F. D. Comano of the Johns Hopkins surgical staff. He also glves instruction in first aid, life-sav- ing and the prevention of frozen feet. Finally, lest the morale of the crew be overlooked, one of the most popu- lar courses is given by “Ukulele Dick"” Kontor in group instrumental music, a course almost: as popular as McGuin-* ness’ informal course in group singing of old-time chanteys and ballads. ‘What might have been a succession of dull days has passed all too quickly. From the devotional services on Sun- day to the combined group cancert on Saturday evening, poker and light lit- erature have played a poor second the regular school courses in the cre leisure hours, and as each man has come more aware of the scientific pos: sibilities of the expedition he has be- come all the more eager for the com- plete success of Comdr.

Illinois Cathedral to Depict Events in Stained Glass. . SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (®).—Catholic participation in three crises of the United States are symbolized in the stained glass windows of the new Ca- thedral of the Immaculate Conception. Depiction of temporal events in stained glass windows has heretofore not been done in Catholic church architecture, it is understood. One window shows ‘Whashing- ton sending Bishop Carroll to Canada to intercede with his fellow countrymen there to be friendly to the American Revolution. Another portrays Abraham Lincoln authorizing “Archbishop Hughes to go to Europe to ask nations there to re- main friendly to the American Govern- ment during the Civil War.
