THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16, 1930. BYRD EXPLORERS INPANAMA GTY Eight Members of Party In- dulge in Shopping Party on Arrival. By the Assoclated Press. BALBOA, Canal Zone, April 16— | Eight members of the Byrd Antarctic expedition returning to the North Amer- ican mainland aboard the steamer C A. Larsen after nearly two years spent at | the bottom of the world, spent a gala evening in Panama City Tuesday. Landing from the C. A. Larsen while the expedition's dogs barked excitedly, tne eight men took taxicabs for Panama City, where they wanted to indulge a| long repressed shopping desire and to see and talk with the people of their own country again. Arthur T. Walden, in charge of the dogs, said: “Antarctica was too monot- onous. There was no game, no hard- | ships, for everything was too well protected. “When I get back home in New Hampshire I am going to buy an auto- mobile and ride around. That is all for a while.” He said he was most anxious, after his months in furs, to get himself a linen suit, and a Panama hat. He also | wanted a flying fish, although he told no one just what for, but was told it Pprobably would not be available. The others mentioned various things they “had to buy” all were anxious to get_some fresh cigarettes and beer. The dogs were almost as excited as the men at the pessage of the canal this morning. The handlers were forced repeatedly to silence them. There are now 75 of the cafines, many having | been born on the ice and nine born aboard the boat. The eight men were Arthur T. Walden, in charge of the dogs; Norman Vaughn and Edward Goodale, his assistants; Clair Alexander, supply officer; Martin Roomi, sailmaker; Victor Vogtzek, Walter Leuchtner and G. H. Block, supply men and cooks. HIGH PRAISE FOR BYRD. | Three Members of Expedition Express Feeling on Arrival Home. SAN FRANCISCO, April 16 (®)— Three of Richard E. Byrd’s followers into Antartica came home yesterday, declaring that they had had enough of polar regions for a while, but insist- ing that they were willing to go again with Byrd literally to the ends of the earth. Capt A. N. Parker of Crystal Springs, Miss, who was with Byrd both in the Far North and Far South, contended that one would have to go far to find & better leader Capt. C. A. McKinley of St. Louis, who not only flew over the South Pole with Byrd, but took pictures of its en- virons, asserted that it had been Byrd's cheery personality which kept up the morale of members of the expedition during their long months together. C. A. Thorne of Chicago, chief sur- veyor, was ready with his quota of raise for the fine character and steady leadership of “the admiral” as all three called Byrd. Capt. McKinley brought back thou- sands of pictures, most of them taken from the air during the principal flights by the expedition, for mapping pur- poses. Thorne brought the data from his surveys, which were made on the ground with the aid of dog teams. Capt. Parker, former Marins Corps fiyer, smilingly contended that his work with the expedition was finished when the flying missions were completed. ‘With MeKinley and Thorne he will be in New York to greet Rear Admiral Byrd on the latter’s triumphant return. The three men were peppered with qfi(:inons. to some of which they re- plied: That frozen noses, cheeks and toes were commonplace with the expedition. ‘That learning to ski was their prin- cipal recreation and that some never did learn. That the South Pole is on a large “Nippon Nite” by flat plain 10,000 feet above sea level. ‘That the recreational value of golf clubs in Antarctica is about nil. ‘That they forgot to eat lunch in the excitement of discovering an unmapped range of mountains. t it was not particularly cold at the South Pole, especially in their heated plane.

We have discontinued a number of our Southern branches, from the stocks of which many of these instruments have been selected. We have also leased a portion of our store to the well known firm of Witt & Hamill. As a consequence our floors are crowded to their capacity. Instead of storing these pianos to depreciate in value we have priced every instrument at greatly reduced figures and any one contemplating the purchase of a piano in the next few months cannot afford to miss the op- portunity. All pianos not sold outright we are anxious to place in the homes of families who are interested in owning a piano in the immediate future, and for the valuable advertising we will re- ceive by having good families use them. We, of course, reserve the right to select homes in which the pianos are to be loaned. Positively No Charge for Anything nos so loaned. You We ask no drayage or charge of any kind on re no strings to this may call at the store to file your request. The offer, which comes but once in a lifetime. CHAS. M.
