Then all at once there was the «oft plop of a native‘s feet as he came to draw water at the well. There was the splash of the bucket, the well chain creaked just as it probably has for 2000 years. Suddenly it came over me â€"the actual realization of that long stretch of time. No wonder the old stone gods did not bat an eyeâ€" lash at us, they had seen so many of us before. It is easy to see how one‘s interâ€" est is miraculously widened by the vital interest we take, for example, in the problem of India‘s future. Quesâ€" tions which two or three weeks ago wore matters of lazy conjecture, have turned into things of vivid and vital importance. â€" News from Benares in the despatches we snatch at as we would news from home. f We are avid for information and instruction to fill the great void of our ignorance.

TO THE SOUTH POLE "LITTLE AMERICA" By Richard E. Byrd (i. P. Putnam‘s Sons You who like high adventure and you who think that in a modern age there is none such to be had, hasten to the nearest bookstore or library and avail yourselves of Admiral Byrd‘s book "Little America," a fasâ€" cinating description of his great exâ€" ploit, flying over the South Pole. Those who go to the Antarctic toâ€" day, are pushing into still unknown lands. At terrific risk and urged on by the modern spirit of ‘scientific‘reâ€" search and surely, too, by theâ€" old bold spirit of the Vikings, eightyâ€"two men left New York in the summer and fall of 1928 facing two years struggle in this most cruel part of the world. Many of the forces there are unknown and those that are known are of the greatest hazard. day, a lands. by the Modestly Byrd begins his story with the growth of the expedition, beginâ€" ning with the casual words of Amundâ€" sen the night after Byrd‘s northpolar flight. _ "Well, where next?" said Amundsen. "To the South Pole" reâ€" plied Byrd smilingly. Soon the long grilling months of preparation began, the immense task of raising the funds, aside from that of assembling the men and equipment, a single fault in the last of which might mean failure for the entire expedition. At last everything was as ready as human brain could make it and the ships set out. There begins the thrilling tale of countless hazards run, of great risks boldly taken. Everyâ€" one knows the great end of the story. Byrd takes up the question which is often put to him as to the value of such an expedition. He answers it in his way, and incidentally his pubâ€" lishers are offering, in a prize conâ€" test a chance for any of us to anâ€" swer it in our own way, and possibly win a generous prize for our efforts.
