8 Two Towering Icebergs, Like Floating Cathedrals, Menace Ocean Vessels v NEW YORK.—Two icebergs, each reaching about ninety feet above the sea and over A, OOO feet long, were off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland by the transport Princess Matoika which has arrived from Antwerp. There were a num* ber of “growlers” around the bergs and pinnacled parapets gave them the appearance of huge cathedrals. Wireless warnings sent out caused other ships to head southward and avoid the danger. Among the passengers- were Col. William Haskell, U. S. A., who was Allied High Commissioner to Ar menia until last August, representing this country, Great Britain, France and Italy. With him were his wife and six children. Mrs. Haskell,, as told by cable, was with her children Many Thrills Befell Airmen During Flight to Alaska NEW YORK. —After more than three month's absence, during which „ they had flown 9,000 miles, much -of it over territory never before ven turnpd into either by air or afoot, the men of the army’s air service’s Alaska expedition, have landed at Mitchel Field, Hempstead, with their planes—the same with which they had set out—looking as if they had just emerged from a thorough over nauling. * Every cylinder was popping, every stay-wire ancb turnbuckle was shin ning, every inch of painted surface was glistening, and every man jaclt of the'eight in the four crews was shaved and set up as for dress pa- ■ i ade. There was nothing in the ap pearance of the flyers of their -vehicles to suggest they had been lout for more than an hour’s hop. ~. 11 i3 n AAA I a . lone that they * had flown 9,000 miles in 111 hours .in the air without a mishap that is -worth mentioning, although that in itself is a challenging record. The transatlantic hop was only 1,900 .miles; the Cape to Cairo flight; the -Condon to Sidney jaunt and the Italian cruise from Rome to Toklo .ill earned their place in aeronauti cal history, but none of them pre sented the peculiar dangers and dif ficulties of the New York to Alaska journey. A very large part of the trip was .over absolutely unexplored territory, unmapped or chartered only on ztlie unreliable statements of trappers. "Mountains which it has been said ■ere only 5,000 feet high proved to hrust their summits more than 12,- 00 feet into the sky. For stretches ' f 200 or 300 miles there was no pos ilbe landing in the event of engine -rouble. - Moreover, beyond Dakota such •landing fields as Capt. Douglas, ahead of. the flyers, had Thoen able to locate - were of -the roughest. Some were literally hewn - .but of the forest. Other were stub ble fields from which the wheat had just been cut. At Prince George it was necessary to reimburse owners of wheat to induce an early cut so the aViatprs could land. - The weather too was such as no other flyers have been forced to face. Valleys filled with fog between tow ering peaks, sudden gales howling ~ around' the bases of the hills, long storms which held the men earth bound for days on end, afforded ma terial for their Alaska logs.

It was as safe flying low ftS flying high, because there were no landing places anyway, so Captain Street followed the windings of the river at 50 feet or lower, while the other three flew overhead. Every ~few miles he passed an In dian fishing village. The Indians had never dreamed of such a thmg as an airplane, much less seen them, and the effect of their sudden appear ance around a curve of the river was absolutely paralyzing. Some times the inhabitants of the villages would break for the woods; as often they would stand petrified with fear at the apparition. At White Horse a number of them were in the crowd which gathered when the airmen Janded. Not tn Indian would approach the machines until they saw their crews climb out. Then a weather beaten old chief drew- near. “Humph," he grunted after a long examination. “White man heap smart, but white man heap dam fool.” On the coast of the Behring Sea one of the aviators took a native up for a spin.

Women Are Smoking Cigarettes Principally to Keep in Fashion, Says Tri- Weekly Journal Humorist BY O. B, KEELER TIE magazine editor’s under study asked me to write some thing about women smoking, but I have too much sense for that, so here goes. They do smoke, some of them. Right here in Atlanta. Not so many, proportionately as up east and north. At least not so many publicly. I have no way of knowing what pro portion of women smokers smoke only when alone, because I never was in the company of a woman _ ———— ' ’>.,Z Female fags are quite the.fad on northern links when she was alone, - or when she was in the company of no one but other women. At Long Island, where the Nation al Amateur Golf Tournament was jiJayed not long ago, I saw for the first time in my brief and innocent career women smoking on a golf course. Tney smoke freely, in the> east and north, in cases and such places. But it looked even more odd on a golf course. I suppose it would 7 have looked odder than that if they had followed the example of Ted Ray and smoked a pipe all the time. They do not seem to take to pipes. Or cigers. From this I am compelled to con- It’s painful, but it’s smart. elude that women do not take to smoking naturally, as men seem to. The men of this generation usually started with rabbit-tobacco, so called, or grape vines. Or dried fig leaves, which thus have been put to another use among young and ingenuous persons. Rattan also has been used in connectiqn 'with early smoking, to -supply the smoke first at one end of the nephyte’s system and then at the other, when his dad caught him at it. But women do not take up the habit, or make desperate and secre tive efforts to take it up at so early an age as men. Nowadays a woman usually is at least fiftefen or sixteen and has shortened her skirts well up to the knees before she starts strangling herself and getting all red-eyed with her first violet-tipped Turkish atrocity. % Nor do I believe that women like to smoke as well as men, as a gen eral thing. I think they start it because they think it is smait, wmeh, of course, is precisely the same rea son boys start it. But I think most women keep it up, sporadically and timorously, because, they think it is smart; while their’ brothers get so far into tne grasp of My Lady Nico Antarctic Explorers Make Extensive Plans LONDON, Oct. first sec-, f tion of the British imperial Antarctic ' expedition which left London Sep tember 28 plans to survey and chart < the western portion of the Weddell , seacoast and to penetrate 1,200 miles of Antarctic territory hitherto unex- i plored. Under the leadership of ' John L. Cope, the British explorer. : five men will go to the, Aantarctic from Christiania. After two years Cope plans to re turn and carry out the full program of his expedition, including the cir- ' cumnavigation of the Xntarctic and > aerial navigation over the ice. Dur-T ing his absence his ship is being es pecially buiit and fitted in England for the second expedition. I ALASKAN DOGS FLY 4,000 MILES tine that they have to go out on the veranda between dances to - 'inhale a pjlT. They think this is smart also. Digressing for a moment, I beg leave to state a conviction that a cer tain advertisement of a coat-shirt- — a style that since has almost entire ly superseded the over-ybur-head type—is responsible for thousands of men indulging in the stupid and physiologically iniquitous habit of smoking before breakfast. This • advertisement showed a young man smoking a pipe while he dressed. It asserted for -the coat shirt the invaluable quality of per mitting the weargr to dori it without missing ten seconds of smoke. From this, thousands of callow youths con cluded it was smart to smoke while dressing, especially a pipe. And when a callow youth concludes a thing is smart, he-will do it if it kills him. I hold this advertisement responsible for a severe decimation of callow youths; though that is nothing vital against it. They would have decimated themselves in other ways, otherwise. Comparatively few girls and wom en—l mean of the right sort—really 'are in the grasp of the smoking hab it. I should guess that ninety out of every hundred smoke because they think it is smart. Os the remain ing ten, nine smoke because they also think it is smart, and because they don’t want the men to have anything on them. One of the hun dred actually feels the need of nico tine poisoning to bring the nerves around to something like normal. I know one estimable young wom an who buys her cigarettes by the hundred and smokes about thirty a day. Sometimes forty or fifty. She really is a genuine cigarette hound. But she is a most unusual and infre quent exception. She don’t smoke because she thinks it is smart. She smoke particularly because she likes to. She smokes because if she doesn’t she feels rotten. That constitutes being a cigarette hound. In Atlanta women' don’t smoke openly in the case There are two or three little places where they smoke, sub-rosa, or sub-luna, or something, while pretending to eat a little something that is served them as a pretext for pretending they like to smoke while eating, like the men. Most qjf the feminine smoking is done sotto voce, in Atlanta. Women times their husbands don’t know they smoke, which argues to a casual' ob server that they are not given to kissing. There still is a strong prej udice in the south against women smoking, as well as voting. Women are willing and even eager to vote in public, but they don’t know about smoking the same way. A casuist might suggest that the two things go together, after a fashion. I al ways have thought that the main reason women wanted to vote was be cause.they couldn’t, and because the men could. I think it is pretty much the same way about smoking. Certainly they go in for the softest type of smoking, these modern damsels — they don’t take to the corn-cob pipe of the hardy mountain lassie, who started- smoking because it was the thing to do. In some other sections, smoking seems to be getting to be the thing to do, among women. They smoked openly and with no undue airs at Long Island. Ana the first two or three days at ihe Mayfield course a'; Cleveland, where the women’s na tional golf championship was being played, several women smoked in the galleries vzatching the ‘matches. About Wednesday or Thursday, however, I heard this bit of dialog in the gallery following Miss Alexa Stirling’s match: “Will you smoke a cigarette with* me? Kate?” \ “Well, now, I don’t knaw if we’d better, out on the course? There’s been a good deal of talk about it.” I notided they didn’t fire up. I worrdered who had been doing the talking. Personally, I don’t see why a wom an hadn’t l as much right to smoke as a man, if she wants to. She also has the right to cut her hair short and let her ears stick out untram meled.-- But she doesn’t want to do that. She thinks it isn’t becoming. I might/suggest timidly that it isn’t becoming the way most women smok ers smoks. They can’t seem to get over holding a cigarette as if it were something that came out of a box labeled “Do Net Stand on End or Hold In the Hand After Lighting.” And (he smoke gets in their eyes; and they flip imaginary ashes off Suoers Sore at Cops For Copping Film Jobs LOS ANGELES. —Motion picture “extras” who depend for their liveli hood on the jobs they get at the stu dios from time to time, have entered vigorous protest against the inva sion of their fielfl by policemen. Acting Police Chief Murray has made a rule allowing policemen to do other ’work in their off time and since motion picture work pays good money, the coppers naturally turn to that line of action. The regular “extras” protest that the city government should not sanc tion the proposition of policemen holding two jobs and beating others out of a chance to earn a living; that if the policemen are not earning enough, the .city is at fault and the ’•‘extras" should not stand the brunt. On the first, day,. Chief Murray is sued his rule, 54 policemen "showed up” at one studio. after every labored inhalation; and they get the cigarette wet an inch from the facial end; and that makes the smoke taste worse than ever. I have never seen a woman smoker use a cigarette holder. I thinfc if a woman wants to smoke and doesn’t like to—which is the situation of most of them, I imagine—she would do better with a cigarette hoider. She could smoke more becomingly; and it wouldn’t be such a tough job. You imember Jhe countryman 'Mil The “Janie Pipe” shall we. say? *' V driving along 'toward town in the old days-—how a friend hailed him: "Hey, Cy—where ye goin’?’’ “Goin’ in town to get drunk, and, gosh—how 1 dread it!” It may be that a '‘good many, pos sibly a large -majority, of women smokers go at the job in this spirit, which (in the case of the rube re ferred to) is not to be taken too seriously. It really is quite a con tract for a young woman to start smoking. Her lungs and larnyx seem not sb tough as those of her brother, and not to tan so readily. ■ She suf- Polls] vk cS / I Iw W Will it come to this? fers from migraine and a sensation lamentably akin to mal-de-mer. She becomes lachrymose and salivary. In a word, the dainty cigarette, in the earlier stages of itg cultivation, be comes a pathologic matter of con considerable concern. And it is my limited observation that most women quite get over these drawbacks. I rather think they will take to voting more readily and probably more gracefully. But if they get to be ward pol iticians, they positively will have to smoke cigars—fat, black cigars, so strong they woin’t break in your pocket. And wear derby hats. The gold-tipped cigarette won’t go, in the derby districts. But it seems to be going all right, albeit a bit feverishly, in the boudoir and the drawing room and the occasional case —and even on the golf course, up north. , I suppose if women golfers ever get to smoking, they’ll smoke a briar pipe, like Ted Ray. I know several men golfers who took up the pipe after seeing Ted play. But it didn’t help them, so far as I jcould see.

LOUIS, Mo„ Oct. 30.—Joseph Alexander, wealthy For Worth, Ark., cattle man, Saturday reported to police here that he had been held prisoner at a farm house near here for several days, tortured and forced to sign a check for $25,000. He said he escaped early Saturday while his guard* was- asleep. Alexander said Mrs. Margaret Ta ber, of St. Louis, a friend of his, Was also held with him. Sheriff Bopp, of St. Louis, to whom Alexander told his story, hurried to the house, but found it deserted. According to Alexander—he was forced to sleep with his hands and feet tied. The guard slept with him. The man said he awoke at 3 a. m. ahd while the guard slept he rolled out of bed and loosened the ropes on his feet. He said he climbed through an open window on the firs floor and ran to a nearby house. The sheriff found later prints of bare feet on the wet grass near the house; Think Him. Crazy When Alexander reached the near est house and appealed to the people to Untie his hands they thought he was crazy and slammed the door, he said. He had the same experience, he told the sheriff, at another house. Finally, according to his story, he met a farmer who freed him and turned him over to the sheriff. Mrs. Taber was found at her home and confirmed Alexander’s story. She said the man who had been guarding Alexander awoke and gave the alarm. She was taken to her home in her night clothes, she stat ed. Mrs. Taber was held pending in vestigation. Alexander told the police he had known Mrs. Taber for several years and telegraphed her he was coming to St. Louis last week. She replied by wire she would meet him at the station. When he arrived Monday morning, he was met by five men who said they l>ad been sent by Mrs. Ta ber. Alexander asserted he accompanied them in an automobile. At the edge of the city the men drew revolvers and threatened him if he made an outcry. Gagged and Bound They tied his hands, gagged and bound him, according to Alexander. He said the men took him to rooms on the second floor of the farm house. The gag was only removed to teed him, Alexander said, and claim ed he was beaten frequently. * On Tuesday Alexander claims to have signed a check for $25,000 on a bank of Fort Smith, Ark., on det mand of the men. He said he scrib bled the signature in an effort to make it appear a forgery. Alexander said Mrs. was brought to the house before he sign ed the cheeky She was brought Into his room with her hands bound. She !° bi the men threatened wishes She dldn 4 comply with their can J e to her house, Mrs. Taber said, and told her that Alex ander was sick and needed her.

Optical illusions of this kind are not uncommon in Arc tic and Antarctic regions. ~_,T bere is ?■ famous mirage called Fata Morgana,” wich on occasions is seen from the neighborhood of Reggio, in Italy. Here the feffect produced is due to a layer of heated air, which by refraction of light brings into view a distorted picture of the far-away Sicilian shore! To the Italian peasant it appears as a city with palaces, towers and mina rets—the mysterious home of the fairy Morgana. William SCoresby, the Arctic ex plorer, describes a similar mirage which he beheld from off the coast of Greenland. He writes: “The gen eral appearance of the coast, as view ed through a telescope, was that of an extensive- ancient city, abounding in ruins of castles, obelisks, churches and monuments—a grand and inter esting phantasma goria.-' A feature of Arctic geography which appears on all the maps is Crocker Land, which Peary thought he saw from a mountain teak in Grant Land. The troops of Napoleon When he was in Egypt were rather Mghtened \by mirages. And during fthe recent war the British of Mesopotamia were obliged on at least one occasion to stop fighting because of the confu sion arising from an illusion of the kind. * As everybody knows, mirages are very common in hot desert regions. A layer of warmed and rarefied air serves as a mirror, reflecting objects above it. Thus, reflecting the sky, it may produce the effect of a sheet of water, the unsteadiness of the heated air lending ripples to help out the picture and render it more deceptive.—Kansas City Star.
