THRILLS OF EXPLORERS
Exploring Is Still as Exciting AS in
the Time of Drake.
An expedition is now forcing its
way into. the wilds of Brazil, paying
special attention to the Matto Oroseo
region, in eeareh of •Col. Fawcett,
and two companions who went thith-
er two years ago on an exploration
tour,
The colonel knew that be would be
faced by terrible dangers — hostile
natives, fever, man-eating snakes,
poisonous plants and Insects, and nn -
trodden jungle --but he had travel-
led extensively on the fringe of the
Matta Grosso region, and he felt that -
the time had come for those millions
of square miles of mystery to yield
up their secrets,
When two years had elapsed, a
search party set out. It had hardly
entered the region before it was at-
tacked by natives and had to return
minus its stores, and without dis-
covering any clue to the fate of the
intrepid explorers. Other explorers
besides Ool. Fawcett have found that
being an explorer to -day is every bit
as thrilling as it was in tho time of
Drake and the old pioneers.
Michael Terry, the young Austra-
lian explorer, came within an ace of
perishing from thirst during the last
lap of his daring journey across
Northern Australia by motor -car only
five years ago.
With one companion, he found
himself stranded in the "Never
Never" country with no petrol. They
abandoned the car and proceeded on
foot for three days. L Their water was
found to be unfit to drink and the
heat nearly killed them. Terry's
companion left him in a state of col-
lapse, and pushed on alone in a last
desperate attempt to secure aid. The
explorer was very nearly "all in"
when a search -party found him two
days later.
Roald Amundsen is another ex-
plorer who has more than once miss-
ed death by inches. His narrowest
escape was when during his famous
voyage through the Northwest Pas-
sage above the northern 'shores of
Canada, his tiny ship, loaded with
stores for a voyage of three years,
grounded on some submerged rocks
in a storm.
Stores were thrown overboard to
lighten ship in the hope that the
vessel would float off, but without
success. Finally, no further stores
could be spared, yet Amundsen rea-
lised that if the boat continued to.
pound up and down on the rocks she
would go to pieces.
He decided to try a desperate ex-
pedient. He had all sail set; if the
boat would not float off the rocks,
it must be blown off. There follow-
ed ten minutes of terror while the
seven men on board held on for their
lives. ` Bump followed bump, each
worse than the last, as the vessel
was blown from rock to rock to-
wards the deep water.
At last, after what seemed an
age, they were afloat again and the
danger was past. It says much for
Amundsen's wonderful gift for or-
ganization that, after thus throwing
overboard part of his stores, at the
end of the voyage, two years later,
he bad enough flour left to offer a
supply to an American whaler.
Thirst bathe greatest, terror of the
explorer. In Central Asia is the
Gobi Desert, a vast sunbaked, water-
less region, devoid of trees, plants,
or any living thing. , Only one man
has ever penetrated it.
That was Se'ren Hedin, the Swed-
ish explorer, who made a "dash"'
from one end of the desert to the
other. He accomplished the feat f
after losing all his camels and bag- p

WING i,AM ADVANCE -TIMES.
Mainly For Women
(By Dorothy Dix)
SHOULD WE PUNISH THl✓
CHILDREN?
Thursdays September 6th, 1928
(By Dr. Louis E. Bisch)
E.tninez t Psychologist)
All human beings have a tendency
to go to extremes and after swinging
the pedulum too far in'one direction
to follow this up by swinging it too
far in the opposite direction. Not
so many years ago, when our grand-
parents were young, punishment of
children was not only considered vit-
ally necessary, but in addition, the
punishment meted out was usually ex-
tremely severe and sometimes bord-
ered on' cruelty. Nowadays an op-
posite view is held by the extremists:
of the no -punishment school. They
hold' indeed, that children should nev-
er be punished:
Beautiful as they are, all • children
are" like wild untamed animals, No
child can understand why he should
not be allowed perfect freedom—to
come and go and do and `say as he
pleases. From his" own' viewpoint the
laws of the nursery are all wrong.
And the child would be right were it
not for the fact that. he cannot al-
ways remain a child. As he develops
into adulthood, the world outside
gradually puts a more restrictive curb
upon his instinctive desires.
Every man and woman must learn
to hold himself in check for the corn- .i
mon good. We are allowed only to
express ourselves freely so long as
we do not step on the toes of the
other fellow. It is on this principle
that all laws manners and customs
have been built up. That's'why chil-
dren must be taught self-restraint and
respect for the feelings and rights
of others. If not, they grow up to
find themselves out of tune with their
neighbors. s
Consequently they become discon-
tented and unhappy. They cannot un-
derstand why they are different from
other people. It's kindness therefore
to restrict them early in life. • Give
them all the leaway you can, provided
their self-expression does not run
counter to established rules, If it
does, if there is a decided anti -social
tendency manifest, a child should be
punished. Of course, we must not
punish. arbitrarily or because children
are mischievous or irritating: We
must respect childhood. We must be
kind, sympathetic and understanding.
And whatever we do, never, never,
should a• child be punished when we
are angry.
Corporal punishment is a thing of
the past. Even the switch and the
time-honored spanking, except as oc-
casionally used on a vigorous put re-
ractory boy, is out of date. Frequent
hysical punishment may develop a
ervous disorder or an entirely warp-
ed view of life, If you have to pun-
ish a child, find out what he likes and
deprive him of that, , If it has to be
you might even drop out his, dinner
now and again. No child can resist
that.
gage, and nearly his own life as well.
During last year over Iwo hundred
expeditions Set out to explore our
unknown world. Yet so well does
nature guard her secrets that it will
be many years before we can say that
we know all there is to be known
about the earth on which we live.
Miss Pirates
There are few -professions and oc-
cupations that women of the West
have not invaded. They have even
tackled the steeplejack's job and
tried marine engineering. It has,
however, been left to the women of
the East to lead the way as pioneers
of piracy on the high ceases:
Women have, indeed, played an
important part in some of the re-
cent piratical attacks on the West
river, near Canton. One woman is
Said.to have appeared on deck with
the rest of the gang, a revolver in
each hand and wearing a mask made
from a handkerchief. She held up
the purser in his office and threaten-
ed to shoot the rest of the crew un-
less he handed over the keys.
She was a Chinese woman, smart-
ly dressed and wearing black patent
leather shoes, white silk stockings,
a serge skirt, and a fox fur.
When a band of river brigands
were captured recently it was found
that two of them were women. For-
ty-one of the gang were sentenced to
death, but the women were spared.
Making Safes Safer.
A new safe that has an almost
human power Of giving warning
should any attempt be made to rob

glars attempt to break it open by the
usual ntethode of using heat, the Ma-
terial of which the ;safe is built
gives off a series of loud reports,
The new material is in the terra'

Sleep.

If strictly carried out it never fails.
But be sure that when you threaten
you do it; ''and that when you do it
you don't get tender-hearted and slip
kiln a glass of milk and a sandwich
later on. Don't be an extremist about
the punishment of children! Take
the middle :course—the sane, and sen-
sible course that is beneficial to the
children. Don't make punishment
convenience for yourself. And re-
member it's the kind of punishment
that does count.
THE SCHOOL WARDROBE
Before school -actually begins is the
time to look over the school ward-
robe and remodel and replenish when
necessary. Probably the best way to
do this is to start first with the und-
er -clothing. The lightweight things
will be worn for the first month or
so anyway. The various pieces will
surely need new buttons, ribbons or
snaps, and a few stitches here and
there, for it seems that vacation time
is unusually hard on the most care-
fully tended clothes.
It is a good plan to sort the things
and arrange them in piles according
to the type of mending needed. If
any ne%v things are to be purchased
start a list to which you can add as
necessary. Stockings, dresses and
shoes can be handled in the same way
as undergarments. The shoes too,
ought to be examined and repaired
and a hat or two provided for cool
days to Come. By thus systemizing.
this task it is amazing how simple
the work becomes,

hope you'll bear with me while I of-
fer some suggestions for this trouble.
After all the mission of this particu-
lar writer is to find solutions for the
things that impair the physical beauty
of women and pass on this info,t.
motion so that every woman can reach
as high a mark of physical perfection
and beauty as possible. Certainly the
working out of this mission leads us
into the correction of physical defor-
mities as well as into the correct
shade of powder and rouge.
Every woman and girl who suffers
from bowed legs has undergone hours
of misery over this trouble There
was a time when this trouble could
be cleverly concealed beneath long
skirts but that'day'seems to be
forever.
Several cases of bowed legs should
be treated' by reliable physicians • and
their treatment usually calls for the
wearing of braces which will 'help to
straighten the . curved bones.. How-
ever, it takes a mighty courageous
girl to wear' this btace for the nec-
essary time to effect a noticeable im-
provement.
Up until the age of thirty bowed
legs can be greatly improved by a
simple exercise and standing position
that I'm going to outline for you.
The exercise comes from the army
and navy training schools where this
is found every day (Hien, rather than
women, are subject in the majority,
to bowed legs, you know).
Stand erect with the torso drawn
to its full height, the head up and. the
arms hanging relaxed at the sides.
The heels should be about an inch a-
part and the toes should point out-
ward at an angle.
. Now, WITHOUT MOVING THE
PEET AT ALL, tense the muscles of
the legs and thighs and slowly push
the knees as close together as you
can. Yost won't inakie much progress
at first but keep at it= -tensing the
useles pushing the knees as close
ogether as you can, relaxing and r'e-
�wi
peating twenty times. Then rest for and remember that if you t o nothing
a few minutes and repeat again. Do at all the condition will show no' im-
