: YANKEES AIM NEW RULE
TO STOP CHEAP HOMERS
NEW YORK. Maq 13—Babe Ruth
: has been afforded a measure of
£ protection from the boys beating
- him at home run slugging in his
own Yankee Stadium.
- A ground rule, accepted by Er
nest S. Bernard, American league
- president, now limits drives hopping
; into the left field bleachers of the
Stadium from the turf to two bases.
The rule doubtless will handicap
shorter hitters, but will have slight
effect on Ruth. His drives usually
take the first bounce high up in
the stands or in the adjoining
streets.

Famous Explorer and Hu
manitarian Dies on Eve
of New Expedition
(Continued from Page One'
the relief of millions of starving
innocent victims of the war in the
various countries of Europe.
In 1889 Dr. Nansen married Eva
Sars, a noted singer and daughter
of Professor Michael Sars of Chris
tiania University. They had five
children. 4Mrs. Nansen died in 1907
and twelve years later the explor
er married Mme. Sigrun Munthe.
Voyage to Greenland
The voyage which Dr. Nansen
made to Greenland when he was a
student indicated to him the vast
field for exploration and scientific
study in that land and in 1887 he
began preparations for an expedi
tion to cross the great ice fields
that covered the interior of that
country. The possibility of his suc
cess was discountenanced by many
Arctic authorities of that time, re
sulting in the Norwegian Govern
ment refusing him a small grant
which he had requested. This,
however, paid the greater part Of.
the expenses, from his own pocket.
The expedition started in May.
1888, joining a sealing ship bound !
for the cast coast of Greenland.
Nansen and his five companions,
left the ship on July 17 to force a
way through the ice belt to lartd
about ten miles distant. It took
the party twelve days to reach
their objective, in the meantime
having been carried some distance
south with the ice drift. They
struck the west oast of Amerallk
Fjord in September and upon reach
ing the settlement of Godthaab ]
were obliged to spend the winter!
j there. The party returned home
in May, 1889.
In 1890 Dr. Nansen conceived the
Idea of a polar expedition to cross
the polar regions by getting his
vessel fixed in the ice north of
Eastern Siberia and drift with it.
His theory was that a drift-current
set across the regions from Bering
Strait and the neighborhood of the
New Siberia Islands toward the
coast of Greenland. His plan, al
though adversely criticized, suc
ceeded. The expedition sailed on
the '‘Fram" June 24, 1893. In Sep
tember the "Fram” was made fast
to a floe in 78 degrees, 50 minutes,
north latitude. Shortly afterwards
she was frozen in and the long
drift began. By March, 1895, the
ship had reached 84 degrees, north,
and Dr. Nansen decided to make
an expedition northward on foot.

rice Cotton, daughter of Major and;

Accompanied by Frederlck-Hjalmar
Johansen, a Lieutenant of the Nor
wegian Army who had shipped as
fireman on the “Fram,” Dr. Nan
sen on April 8 bached 86 degrees,
14 minutes, north, the highest lati
tude reached by man to that time.
Winter on Island
Prom that point they turned back
and eventually reached Frederick
Jackson Island in Franz Joseph
Land, where they were compelled
to 'Spifad the winter, remaining from
August, 1895, to May, 1896. They
lived in-* little stone hut and their
only food was raw polar bear meat
After resuming their journey in
May the two explorers fell in with
the Jackson - HSrmSworth Expedi
tion in June, 1886 and returned to
Norway with It, reaching home
August 13. The “Fram” followed
into port safely a week later. _
For his achievement Dr. Nansen
received a special ifcedal from the
National Geographical Society and>
honpraty degrees from Oxford and
Cambridge universities.
Dr. Nansen entered politics in
1905 in connectlbn with the crisis
between Norway affd Sweden, which
was followed by separation of the
two kingdoms. Dfiring the crisis
he issued a manifesto and many
article* to which he adopted the
attitude as indicated by the last
Word* hi a brief work’ published
taife; "Any union in fthlch one
people is restrained in exercising
it* freedom 1* and will remain a
danger."- With the establishment
of Norway as a monarchy Nansen
was dajftolnted Minister to England
in 1906. “lie was created a knight
grand cross of the Royal Victorian
Ordj*r. AfteT representing his coun-.
try two years in the British capital
he resigned and became Professor
of Oteattography at Christiania
University.
At .League of Nations
With the organization of the
League of Nations, Dr. Nansen be
came Norway's representative in
that body and as such was aided
in-; the relief work in which he
interested himself during the war
In recognition of his work in be
half of the welfare of prisoners of
war he was appointed by the
League High Commissioner for
their repatriation. In 1921 with the
institution of schemes for the re
lief of the starving millions in
Russia he was appointed a member
of the commission in charge of the
project and interested himself in
the work of relieving the peoples
of other countries who had become j ,
distressed by the war. i
Accepting the Nobc: Peace Prize.;
which had been awarded to him for I I
19^11-22, Dr. Nansen delivered an <
address in which he said what the! *
world needed was a return to I
brotherhood and charity among j '
men along the lines of Nobel's j <
ideal. He praised America’s relief
vpA'k under Herbert Hoover and1
declared his new award would be I
used for the League of Nations
relief activities. At the same time
the Nobel Award Committee an
nounced that Dr. Nansen had been i
granted by Christian Erichsen of J
Copenhagen another award equal to
the Nobel Peace Prize in recogni- [
tion of his relief work.

Dr. Nansen had written exten- <
sively on zoological and scientific1
works as well as many volumes j
dealing with his explorations in!
the Arctic. For one of Iris papers,; i
“The structure and combination of
the histological elements of the
central nervous system,” written in |,
1886,. he was warded the degree of ( 1
bachelor of philosophy by Cl>ris- j
tiania University. He belonged to!
numerous scientific and geograph

GERMAN SCHOOL GIVES DANCE COURSE
BUT RIGID REGULATIONS BAR FRIVOLITY
MUNICH, Germany, May 13.—
The peaceful art of ballroom danc
ing is beginning to make a little
scholastic headway.
One cl i,;;u gymnasia near here
even includes a course in ballroom
dancing in its curriculum.
However, the carefully drawn up
rules of conduct for participants in
the course are not calculated to
encourage dance-madness among
the students.
They provide that girl dancing
partners for the young men of the
course, "will be selected, not by
the students themselves, but by
the rector’s office upon recommen
dation of parents."
Furthermore, there are not to b
any wallflowers among the boy
ncr among the girls either. Eacl
girl invited to the dances must be
ready to dance with the young mer.
in turn, without partiality. The
young men on their part are spe
cifically "forbidden” as follows:
To dance consecutively with the
same girl instead of girl by girl,
as they happen to come.
To take a certain girl to the
dance and take her home again;
"for the ladies will attend in the
company of their mothers."
To use the familiar “Du" in con
versation with any of their dance
partners, unless she happens to be
a relative (in other words, no
frivilous humming of “Du, Du.
liegst mir am Herzen" during a
waltz.)
To try to date a girl during a
dance for some future social event
away from school.
To give or receive gifts from a
dancing partner (this probably re
ferring to frat pins and the like).
Claims College Drinking
Is Cause for Alarm
William W. Roper, famous as the
head football coach at Princeton
University, has testified before tba
House Judiciary Committee that
he is alarmed over the drinking
that is bein£ done by young men
and women in America today. The
famous coach declares that young
boys and girls think it is a smart
thing to drink nowadays.
