And when he sells an automobile he likes to sell it quickly and at a satisfactory price.

Mr. Freedman argued that anybody can sell a car if he walks far enough and the law of averages holds out. Hut to sell your car without walking all over town, and at vonr own price that is the tdeal.

If- On Yan Mayen For Some Time.

If ever the Old World law of pos session by acclamation were invoked, Maryland would have some claim to the Island of Yan Mnyen, in the far reaches of the Arctic Ocean, for over the greater part of it Henry Joesting, 23 years old, 518 Chestnut Hill avenue, who returned to Baltimore latj yesterday, held absolute sway for thirteen months. Early in 1920 Mr. Joesting a graduate of the Johns Hopkins Universit', joined an expedition in New York whose avowed purpose was to go to Yan Mayen, claim it and start a polar fox farm there. Had it been merely a question of reaching the island and establishing and operating the farm all would have been well, for in all these the expedition succeeded, the young explorer said. But a longing flnaUy KTercame even the zest of ad venture and in August the young colonizers left their empire to whomever may claim it in the future.

Joins Explorers. The expedition, according to Mr. Joesting, was being formed by Hag- bard Ekerold, New York engineer, when he (Joesting) returned from a journey of his own to Florida. Seek ing more worlds to conquer, he joined the other three who were to make the trip. They proceeded from New York to Norway, he said, and there outfitted a forty-eight-foot sail boat, in which the four explorers with a crew of four men set out.

They landed on the island early in the summer. Other than three men manning a weather bureau and a radio station of the Norwegian Government there were no humans on the island, Mr. Joesting said last night. The terri tory, he explained, was unclaimed save for the small strip on which the radio equipment was located. "It was truly no man's or any man's land," he said.
