Ity A«flO<‘iat#d PreM. London, August IS.—An offer of 1,000 pounds a year, with free food and lodging, and plenty of adventure thrown In, is going begging because England has no modern Jonah who knows whales intimately. Last month the Colonial office ad vertised for a "director of research” to take charge of a scientific expedi tion that Is scheduled to start next spring for the Falkland islands to study aquatic mammals and their habits. So far not a single suitable application has been received and the committee Is still seeking the right man. The practical purpose of the ex pedition Is to obtain data from which to frame legislation to prevent the disappearance of Leviathan front the oceans of the globe. The scientists will make an intimate study of whales, endeavoring tc learn whether they are polygamous, how long they live, where they spend the winter, anil what their annual mileage is. It seems that the waters off the Falkland* arc a fashionable summer whaling resorts, hut In winter the great mammals disappear. Inasmuch ns the Islands are largely dependent upon the whaling industry, the British government v ould like to know where they go. Scott’s historic ship "Discovery" will carry the expedition which will be gone two and,a half years. Impersonator Will “Make Up'’ ih Burgess-Nash Window Francis Renault, impersonator who Is playing this week at the World theater, will pnter a Burgess Nash show window dressed in his every day male attire Monday noon, and before the spectators, he will make up as a woman. After donning his female attire, he will walk from t lie Burgess-Nssh store to the World theater for his afternoon performance. Mr. Renault will be in the window at exactly 12.30 Monday and will wear a creation of June Rand, who designs the "Sassy Jane" frocks Bold by the Burgess Nash company.
