ABOARD BARKENTINE CITY OF NEW YORK (By wireless) —During the last six weeks since leaving Panama the City of New York, having previously been put into shipshape condition, op- portunity has been seized for the active establishment of an expeditionary school giving instructions in various fields con- nected with polar exploration. Hence, despite the failure of the usually de- pendable trade winds making what might have been a tediously slow voy- age, the crew has been kept interested and occupied by the acquisition of ex- tremely valuable information and train-| ing. ‘We read that Comdr. Byrd has or- ganized the present eéxpdeition, not as a mere dash to the South Pole, but as a well based sclentific 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 had not wide interest and a capacity for taking up others’ work. He had imbued all of us with the idea that in polar research as in all other creditable scientific work, con- stant, accurate and detailed observa- tions is the essence of success. He recognizes that results of permanent value cannot be acquired with untrained men, no matter how willing, how quali- fied. their own judgment, how hardy or how well organized for covering ground. Success and the very lives of fellow members may depend 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 dis- posal of all the expeditionary school will undoubtedly be continued among the other groups at Comdr. Byrd's base on the great ice barrier. Pupils Become Proficient. Capt. Frederick C. Melville of many years’ experience in deep water navi- gation was the first to offer his services in the formal inauguration of the ¥chool. His efforts have shown commendable results in the proficiency of his pupils, especially in the navigation class, which meets three times daily. Capt. Melville also is giving courses in astronomy and weekly lectures in seamanship. Practi- cal sailing, deck management, rope splicing, etc., are taught by Chief Officer C._J. McGuinness. Lectures on polar living conditions, huating, the significance of various types of ice formation, ice piloting, the art of skiiing, etc., are given by Second Officer Sverre Strom, Bosun Hendrick N interesting feature of The Saturday Star is the notices of the churches of the city. There is a convenient arrangement according to de- nomination, together with lo- cation, pastor's name and in most cases sermon subjects and special music. There is also the Sunday School lesson for the week, and much valua- ble information regarding the varied activities among the different churches. To know what the churches of Wash- ington are doing, you should not fail to read Saturday’s Star. OPENS THE SEASON WITH RECORD BREAKING PRICE RE- .

Johansen and by Chris Braathen, all of whom have spent many years in the Arctic. 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 completed. For the next few weeks we will miss him. Course in Radio Given A course in radio transmission is be- ing given by Ensign Lloyd V. Berkner, U. S. N. R. radio engineer of the Bureau of Standards. He is assisted in a special course in aviation radio by Lloyd K. Grenlie of the Naval Re- search Laboratory and former radio officer on the Byrd Arctic expedition. Practically every member on board ship is able at present to send and receive code in some form or other thanks to the course given by the radio officers, assisted by Dick Konter, former,C. P. O. in the Navy. It is expected that when Mason, on the Eleanor Bolling, joins us at Tahiti he will assist in giv- ing instructions in the erection and use of the dog-sled radio outfits. Lectures on weather prognostication, including observation and interpretation of meteorological data, are given by Henry Harrison, lately connected with the. weather bureau at Hadley Field. The problem of terrestrial magnetism and atmospheri¢” electricity at high latitudes are treated by Frank Davies of the department of physics of McGill University. Davies also is giving instruc- tion in the use of the sonic depth- sports oxfords. finder in connection with oceano- graphic survey work. Geological problems, surveying and mapping - are discussed by George Thorne of Yale and Quinn Blackburn of the University of Montana. ‘The special problems connected with motor lubric#hts at low temperatures are discussed by Chief Engineer T. B. Mulroy, while Chief Gunnery Sergt. Victor Czegkt of the Marine Corps is lecturing on the care of instruments of precision and on the use of rifle and small arms. A practical course in photography is given by Joseph T. Rucker, an internationally known news reel photographer. Preparation of Food. A practical course on the selection and preparation of food for sled parties. aeroplane flights and bases is given by Louis Gerchardt and Bert Creagh. Jacob Bursey gives instruction in the care and management of dog teams. A wide variety of biological problems peculiar to the Antarctic regions is dis- | cussed by Dr. F. D. Coman of the Johns Hopkins surgical staff. He also gives instruction in first aid lifesaving and the prevention of frozen feet, etc. Finally, lest the morale of the crew be overlooked one of the most popular courses is given by Ukelele Dick Kontor in group instrumental music, a course almost as popular as McGuinness' in- formal 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 Sunday to the combined group concert on Sat- urday evening, poker and light litera- ture have played a poor second to the regular school courses in the crew's leisure hours, and as each man has be- come more aware of the scientific pos- sibilities of the expedition he has be- come all the more cager for the com- plete success of Comdr.

DIETITIAN DISCLOSES CAUSE OF MANY ILLS LIES IN FOOD Dr. Walker Reports Study of 750 Families Shows Practically All Fail to Eat B the Assoclated Press. BALTIMORE, Md., November 2.— Disclosing fsets which he believes may account for much that is wrong with the world, Dr. George Walker, Balti- more physician and research worker | today laid before the American Dieteti~ Association the initial results of a study of the eating habits of 750 families, r‘arln.‘glng from the very poor to the very | rich. His investigation, growing out of an interest in the welfare of orphans, the insane and other inmates of public institutions in Maryland and elsewhere, he said, has brought to light a number of significant deficiencies in the every- day diets of people in general. Practically all of those he has studied, he said, whether they average only 6 cents a day for each individual or $1.95, consume too little of the es- sential minerals, too much of the vege- table and too little of the animal oroteins, less than half their require- ments in the way of non-digestible fibrous or cellulose material, and prob- ably only 20 per cent as much as they need of raw foods containing the very in;porunt but little understood vita- min C. Known as Cause of Scurvy. The absence of that vitamin, which is virtually destroyed by cooking in all vegetables except tomatoes and pota- toes and is reduced in them, is known to cause scurvy. While this disease of the capillary blood vessels, smaller ar- teries and veins, is rare in its recog- nized form except among isolated sailors, soldiers and explorers, Dr. ‘Walker said he believed that many of the disorders which appear in the gums, the teeth, the upper part of the in- testinal tract and the bones could be wonderful presentation.

Among children in public institutions, he told the dieticians, he found that, while they get enough of the carbo- hydrates, chiefly white bread and pota- ‘oes, not to be hungry, none he had ycen able to investigate has received 1o variety and kinds of food necessary “ov normal growth and future health. They could be fed properly, he esti- mated, on 33.26 cents a day at whole- sale prices. Child Needs Quart of Milk. For the average growing child, living at home, he calculated, & minimum ex- penditure of 57.31 cents a day, at retail prices, is necessary, and for their par- ents and grown-up brothers and sisters, 44.58 cents. The difference is largely accounted for by the fact that the child needs at least a quart of milk, rich in animal proteins, calclum and phos- phorus, every day, while a pint will do for the adults. Dr. Walker based his conclusions on analysis of the foods actually consumed during weekly or longer periods by white and colored families in the light of the most advanced dietary knowl- edge. Of 300 family food accounts, rep- resenting a daily individual expenditure around 45 cents, all showed deficiencies of one kind or another, he said, which could easily be corrected without adding to the cost. State agencies capable of giving such advice, he suggested, would fill an important public need. The general deficiency in fiber con- sumption, contributing to & number of human ailments, he thought, was a re- sult of the tendency to pass up the coarse foods, raw and cooked, in favor of the more attractive, highly refined products from which most if not all of SATURDAY STYLE NEWS From Hahn’s—Footwear Fashion Headquarters!

The lack of the blood-building element of iron in 49 per cent of the food accounts analyzed, however, appeared to be more closely associated with economic con- siderations, as almost any generous diet wl:lx contain a sufficiency of this min- eral. Short on Calcium. Shortages of the other two most nec- essary minerals, calclum and phos- phorus, were even more pronounced. In 64 per cent of all of the diets, accounting among other things, he said, for the prevalence of rickets, the proportion of calclum containing vegetables and milk was below normal, while 62 per cent were deficient in phosphorus, essential to the growth and health of the nerves and bones, which also is chiefly obtain- able from milk. Low milk consumption also figured in ‘the unbalanced distribution of ani- mal and vegetable proteins, 60 per cent of which, Dr. Walker said, should come from foods of animal origin because of the scarcity in vegetables of two of the five very complex, indispensable amino acids which make up these elements of diet. As between the upper and lower eco- nomic levels represented in his investi- gation, he found a sharp contrast in the consumption of carbohydrates and fats. Below the 60 per cent level the consumption of white bread and po- tatoes became progressively excessive and that of bacon, butter and lard pro- gressively deficient, while above it the opposite was true. He was inclined to blame the latter condition on the fash- ion for slenderness and the erroneous notion that starches and sugars are solely responsible for excess weight. —_— Psychologists declare that one-third of automobile drivers are responsible for at least one-half of the number of motor accidents over the country. This one-third belong to the dangerous class of drivers, who, through no fault of their own, are not equipped either nervously or mentally to meet the emergencies of the highways. NEW Constant arrivals U. 5. DEBT SHOWS GAIN OF $170,000.000 October Increase Said to Be ‘Due to Liberty Loan Manipulations. By the Assoclated Press. The national debt increased by about $170,000,000 during October, but the dally Treasury statement of conditions as of October 31 issued today showed the increase was due largely to man- ipulations of the debt in connection with the retirement of Liberty loan bonds. 2 The actual debt was $17,544,145,939, as compared with $17,367,350,788 on September 30 and $18,368,491,611 on October 31, 1927, Liberty bond retirements have been very heavy during the months preced- ing October in the Government’s fiscal year. As a result, although receipts of cash in Government taxes have been on the increase during the month, the situation has resulted in an in- crease of the debt, but it was expected at the Treasury that with the Decem- ber income tax payments the decline in the debt total, which has continued since 1919, when the war expenditures brought it to the peak of $26,597,701,648 will resume. The principal items of revenue for October, as shown in the same state- ment, indicated that the Government was experiencing a steady expansion in its regular receipts. October cus- toms revenue amounted to $59,741,000, against $56,616,000 in the same month last year, wkile miscellaneous internal revenue receipts for the same period were $55.775,000, against $49.169,000.
