In 'a few weeks' time the fani.otis Antarctic ship, the Discovery, in which Captain Scott made his .first voyage to the Great White South, will be setting out upon the first stage of another adventurous journey. Fr em September, when Ithe'Discov- ery leaves Australia, until her return a year or two years later, a little band of adventurers, headed by Sir Douglas Mawson, will strive to probe the sec- rets of seas in which no ship has ever sailed and ice -plains on which no pian has landed since the world began, In 1911 Sir Douglas Mawson Pene- trated to a part of the Antarctic coast- line known as the Australian sector. This is shown upon the maps as an empty space, for it has never been charted—Sir Douglas, who discovered it, had to leave it for the time being. Now he is going back and hopes to put 1,500 miles of new coastline on the inns. , It is probable that adventures in plenty await the Discovery and her crew, for the Antarctic is a region where peril is the normal lot, and a day without a thrill is an exception. That is how the Frozen South has guarded its secrets so well.

This is the If you have: a porch conveniently who are ashore with the stores to matte' the best of it. Tha next stage of the work is ;a race with time. There ie much to be done, and the Southern sununer is short. By the end of February the leader of the expedition must decide whether he will bring his work to an end and re - embark the expedition, or whether he will winter through the long Antarctic night, which lasts five months, and send the Ship back tie Australia until the summer comes in December, No experienced Antarctic man will be too sure about when Sir Douglas will return, or whether he will return, until he is safely back. There are toe many instances of men as hardy, as expert, who have cheated death by inches to make the prophecy safe, Too many risks—of scurvy, crevasses, blizzards, starvation,and death. Mawson himself had the narrowest escape in the history of the South on a former expedition -when, 300 miles front his base, one of three companions fell into an ice crevasse. A sledge con taining practically all the food and the best o fthe dogs went with him. The two survivors struggled on, but one died of starvation, andonly Maw - son; demented with hunger and at his last gap, won through. It may be asked why, in the face of such dangers, we go back again to That inhospitable region. No man who has gazed upon that land of white silence' can be quite the same afterwards. The South will haunt him all his life, call- ing him back to the lonely ice fields. Antarctica is the most romantic region on earth, and at the age of fifty-three and after myself narrowly missing disaster upon a trail which set up a .reeoril.,as the . longest jour zt v . ever,• _.,... made on the ice barrier, I would re- turn tomorrow if a new expedition needed my services. But that is only one answer. An- other is that, just as "Trade follows the flag," so it follows in the footsteps of the explorer. To the pioneers who faced the Unknown South we owe the thriving whaling industry, our knowl- edge of the Antarctic weather, which it has been proved affects our climate, and the discovery of the largest coal field in the world. As long as the Antarctic contains a single foot of ground which is un- known men who hear the call of ad- venture will go there, thinking nothing of the dangers, and content if they can add one mile of coastline or one hill to the map, or bring back one scrap of information which increases our the ship is to put out to sea at once, knowledge of the world in which we leaving those members of the crew ,live. touch anything in th ecabinet except 3y as each article is needed. - Beneath the full midsummer heat The cabinet may be any height de- Are stooks of golden garnered wheat; Are billows of unripe oats, grey -green; sired, with High legs or short ones, at each corner.

To make your own floor wax; Take a pound of beeswax to a quart of turpentine. Place on the back of the stove in an old pan and heat slowly until all ars dissolved together. Stir slightly to make a thorough mixture, and set away for use at any time. If put on new flooring riot, it is practic- ally everlasting. If the stove is too hot for safety, set pan of wax in an- other pan filled with hot water. For wool comforters, make them a quarter at a tire. Take two yards of cheesecloth or factory cotton and spread your: washed and carded wool ever half of it. One pound of wool to each quarter is sufficient, and it should be spread evenly. Then double over the other half, tack the edges together and knot or quilt. Do the three other cornea th.e. same and sew together, stitching all edges securely. Then cover with sateen or cretonne both sides and quilt again. A little cold milk beaten in cern- starch, creamed vegetables, salad dressing, etc., after they are cooked, Will prevent scum fronii forming on the top.

There ie much to be done, and the Southern sununer is short. By the end of February the leader of the expedition must decide whether he will bring his work to an end and re - embark the expedition, or whether he will winter through the long Antarctic night, which lasts five months, and send the Ship back tie Australia until the summer comes in December, No experienced Antarctic man will be too sure about when Sir Douglas will return, or whether he will return, until he is safely back. There are toe many instances of men as hardy, as expert, who have cheated death by inches to make the prophecy safe, Too many risks—of scurvy, crevasses, blizzards, starvation,and death. Mawson himself had the narrowest escape in the history of the South on a former expedition -when, 300 miles front his base, one of three companions fell into an ice crevasse. A sledge con taining practically all the food and the best o fthe dogs went with him. The two survivors struggled on, but one died of starvation, andonly Maw - son; demented with hunger and at his last gap, won through. It may be asked why, in the face of such dangers, we go back again to That inhospitable region. No man who has gazed upon that land of white silence' can be quite the same afterwards. The South will haunt him all his life, call- ing him back to the lonely ice fields. Antarctica is the most romantic region on earth, and at the age of fifty-three and after myself narrowly missing disaster upon a trail which set up a .reeoril.,as the . longest jour zt v . ever,• _.,... made on the ice barrier, I would re- turn tomorrow if a new expedition needed my services. But that is only one answer. An- other is that, just as "Trade follows the flag," so it follows in the footsteps of the explorer. To the pioneers who faced the Unknown South we owe the thriving whaling industry, our knowl- edge of the Antarctic weather, which it has been proved affects our climate, and the discovery of the largest coal field in the world. As long as the Antarctic contains a single foot of ground which is un- known men who hear the call of ad- venture will go there, thinking nothing of the dangers, and content if they can add one mile of coastline or one hill to the map, or bring back one scrap of information which increases our the ship is to put out to sea at once, knowledge of the world in which we leaving those members of the crew ,live. touch anything in th ecabinet except 3y as each article is needed. - Beneath the full midsummer heat The cabinet may be any height de- Are stooks of golden garnered wheat; Are billows of unripe oats, grey -green; sired, with High legs or short ones, at each corner.

To make your own floor wax; Take a pound of beeswax to a quart of turpentine. Place on the back of the stove in an old pan and heat slowly until all ars dissolved together. Stir slightly to make a thorough mixture, and set away for use at any time. If put on new flooring riot, it is practic- ally everlasting. If the stove is too hot for safety, set pan of wax in an- other pan filled with hot water. For wool comforters, make them a quarter at a tire. Take two yards of cheesecloth or factory cotton and spread your: washed and carded wool ever half of it. One pound of wool to each quarter is sufficient, and it should be spread evenly. Then double over the other half, tack the edges together and knot or quilt. Do the three other cornea th.e. same and sew together, stitching all edges securely. Then cover with sateen or cretonne both sides and quilt again.
