British Medals Awarded
for Arctic Discoveries
The grant of the Polar medal to
14 members of the British Arctic Air
Itoute expedition of 1930-31 draws at-
tention to an award whl'-h is almost I
unknown to the general public. f
Instituted by King Edward in 1904,
when it was awarded for Captain
Scott’s Antarctic expedition In the
Discovery, It has also been granted to
members of Shackleton’s expeditions
of 1907 and 1914-16. Scott's last ex-
pedition, and the Mnwson expedition1
of 1912, The medal is octagonal In'
shape, with, on one side, the king's
head, and on the other a polar scene
"vlth a ship In winter quarters and a
sledging party.
There was a previous Polar medal,
“For Arctic Discoveries,” which Queen
Victoria conferred In 1957 on all who
had taken part In Arctic expeditions
between 1818 and 1855. A similar
medal, but of different design, was
awarded, later In the queen’s reign,
lor other Arctic expeditions.
Two of the explorers who figure In
the recent list—Mr. \Vatk,lns and Cap-
tain Lemon—have died since the ex-
j>editlon for which the medal was
awarded. These medals have been
presented to their relatives.—Answers.

Mary Brown Had
Mutinied

ARY BROWN pu; J the flatiron
back and forth wearily. Three
o'clock and still half a basket of wrin-
kled clothes to Iron. They would mil-
dew If left over and Marian had said
she wanted to wear the dotted sulsse
frock to the dance tonight. There were
eight Uttle ruffles around the hem.
Mary pushed her hair back from her
forehead. Henry, too, had expressed
a desire for sauerkraut and dumplings
for dinner and she had not taken
the time to order the groceries. The
day was hot
There had been six; no, sevo- shirts
for Henry; four dresses for Marian—
where was the pink and white-dotted
suisse ... It was wrapped In a
bath towel. She must do that'next
. . . eight tie ruffles arouad the
hem . . . and right there her spir-
it broke. A pink and jvhlte-dotted
dress with eight ruffles broke the
spirit of valiant Mary Brown.
She resolutely drew the plug from
the Iron and turned It on end to cool;
rewrapped the pink and white dress
in the towel, pushed the basket of
sprinkled clothes under the kitchen
table, and sat down in the little rock-
er beside the kitchen window,
Henry, middle-aged, plodding, easy-
going; coming home from the store
at night; devouring the dinner, the
menu of which he usually outlined at
breakfast ... the evening paper
yawns noisy and frequent, ano finally
the shoeless ascent of the stairway to
bed.
For eight years, Mary had wanted
Henry to take the boat trip up the
Great Lakes, stopping at Mackinac
Island, but each year Henry had other
plans for his vacation.
Marian, nineteen and pretty, wilful
and selfish; rushing home from the
office at five, no time to help with
the dinner dishes, a rapid change Into
another frock, and away again with
some admiring young cavalier.
Junior was a dear boy but lasy.
Right now his interest was radio.
His room was a hopeless mess of
I wire, batteries, boxes and books.
Twelve years of age and be could
not be convinced that he Should shoul-
der the responsibility of keeping the
walks clean, the lawn mowed and bis
own neck and ears clean.
| Dolly, small and dainty, hopelessly
spoiled because of a childish illness,
knew that to accomplish her heart’s
! desire was to cry loud find long. 8he
was petted outrageously.
“Whose fault is It?” sighed Mary
Brown as she rocked back and forth
that hot afternoon In the little rocker.
“Why Isn’t my family like other fam-
ilies? All I get Is work- worl. -work
. . . sauerkraut' and dumplings!
Pink and white-dotted dressjp with
eight ruffles ... and dreaming
all the time that perhaps some day
Henry will take me on that trip up
the Great takes, to Mackinac Is-
land, . . .”
Four o’clock. Four-thirty. At firs
o’clock she went upstairs, and at flvo-
thtrty she was In bed. Mary Brtrtvn
had mutinied! She awaited results.
“Mother,** walled little Dolly from
the door. “You aren’t sick are you.
You Just can’t be sick, Mother. What
will we doT*
A good beginning, thought Mary
Brown, as she turned over on her
pillow. She smiled again when Marian
rushed in, exclaiming:
“Mother! Dolly says you a.-e sick!
Are you really , ... lr yuu are I
can’t go to the party tonight."
And below on the front porch Dolly
was calling: "Daddy. Daddy, Mother
Is sick! And dinner Isn't ready.”
Henry looked down at her and she

HER DAUGHTER’S
LIFE AT STAKE
Jane Fair, six years old, was play-
ing in the yard. A defective plank
covering the cistern snapped. The
little girl plunged into the well.
Mrs. Fair heard Jane scream. She
telephoned for help. Firemen ar-
rived in the nick of time. Jane has
recovered.*
Often in emergencies a telephone
is priceless. It is always ready to
summon aid, as well as run errands,
call on neighbors, visit those who
are ill.
You can buy few things which
cost so little and are worth so much.

closed her eyes and sighed.
“Well, Mother, what’s up? Tired?
Well, you rest and Marian and I will
get the dinner. Did you have time to
make the dumplings?’'
This was the finishing tonch. She
sat up quickly. She had wanted sym-
pathy from her family. They were
thinking of themselves as usual.
“1 am here—because of youl All of
you! All I do is Iron, wash, scrub,
bake—sauerk tut and dumplings 1 Iron
—eight ruffles on one drear! Seven
shirts! I am nothing but a slave. . . .”
Henry was alarmed. “Marian I” he
called. “Come quick. Mother must
be sick . . . and Mother Is never
sick 1”
"We have had a family council.
Motherland are ready to report. I’ll
come last. Dolly will lead off. Come
Baby, tell Mother. . . .”
“I’m not going to cry any more,
and I’m going to help Mother . . .
and be a good girl," sang Dolly, her
face radiant, and Junior Interrupted
her with:
“And rm going to take care of the
porch and walks, and study hard, and
wash my neck and ears. . .
, Marian's voice trembled a little.
Tm going to do everything I should.
Mother, to make It easy for you. And
I’m going to finish that ironing this
very minute, and will do some of the
housework. . .
Then Henry spoke. “You’ll have to
<!■» It all for n couple of weeks, Marlon.
Mother and I are gotng on a honey-
insen. How about a trip to th Great
Lakes, Mary, with a stop-over at Mack-
inac Island?”
There were kisses from all and
Marian started downstairs.
“Marian," called Mary Brown.
“Leave the pink and white-dotted
dress, and I’ll Iron It tomorrow, deifr.
You could never Iron those eight Ut-
tle ruffles so they will look pretty."
System
The most effective poUtlcal system
of which I have ever heard flourished
In the ancient days when the South-
ern Pacific bossed California politics.
They had two legislative reading
elerta who solemnly droned oat the
wording of the various bills. If foe
clerk wtth the red necktie read the
bill, aU the boys who could see voted
“Aye;" If the blue-necktle clerk read
It, they voted "No."
It saved a lot of time and spared
the world many endless miles of punk
oratory-—Harry Carr, In the Los An-
gles Times.
