Dr. Alexander Forbes, of the Harvard Medical School, is in charge of the expedition, which was first con- ceived and suggested by Sir Wilfred Grenfell, In addition to correcting charts of | the region which at present are en- tirely inaccurate, particular attention | will be paid to exploring the Torngat | Mountains, a rugged, snow-capped and as yet unexplored range. The map- ping is being done by aerial photo- graphy, for which purpose two air- planes are scheduled to fly from Bos- ton on July 1, arriving at the scene of operations at abcut the same time as the schooner. Radio equipment, supplied particu- larly for communication between the ship and the mapping planes, and with friends and sponsors in the United States through schedules with ama- teur radio stations, has bee: installed by Edwin D. Brooks, Jr., radio amateur and Harvard student, who is accom- panying the expedition as radio oper- ator. The short-wave equipment will operate on the accustomed ship fre- quencies by special grant of the Fed- eral Radio Commission, and amateur contact arranged through the Ameri- can Radio Relay League will be relied | upon principally for outside communi- cation. 2 On the departure of the schooner it ' was stated that the party was pro- ceeding first to St. Anthony's, New- foundland, where several members of the crew will be taken aboard. There also Sir Wilfred will join the gchooner | in his steam yacht, the Strathcona. | With only a brief pause, the two ves- sels will continue north to the region where mapping will be begun. ee To | endl Islands Off Alaska Have Rocky Surface The thousands of islands of Alaska's southeastern "panhandle" are rugged and offer few places suitable for land planes to alight. But for the plane equipped with pontoons thére are in-| numerable resting places in bays and covers. Harbors with gasoline sup- plies are available at a number of ports in this section of Alaska, includ- ing Ketchikan, Sitka and Juneau, Eastward across the Gulf of Alaska, Kodiak Village on Kodiak Island fur- nishes the last possible base before the beginning of the long crescent sweep of the Aleutian Islands, which extend for 1,600 miles almost to the peninsula of Kamchatka, eastern out- post of the Soviet Union. After the survivors of Bering's dis- covery voyage to Alaska in 1745 re- turned to Kamchatka, Russian adven* turers poured junto the islands in search of furs, exploiting, enslaving and killing the natives. Few survived and since that day the islands have been sparsely settled, many of them uninhabited. It was because they were opened up from the east that the islands are known as the Aleutians. The name is derived from that of a Kamchatkan cape, the National Geo- graphic Society says, Although the Aleutians are as far north as Central Canada their climate 18 not severely cold. Rather they may be said to be always "chilly," damp and foggy. Fog is anything but an asset to the flyer; but the Aleutian fog has the good point, at least, of be- ing less dense than the fog of more southern lands, Dutch Harbor, Unalaska, is the first harbor of importance in the islands. This deep, landlocked harbor Is one of the finest in the North and has played an important part as a way 8 to the Yukon and to Nome. It Is station for ships during the gold rush- by a radio station.

All over central and west end London new buildings are going up with flat roofs. Gas fires and electric radiators are displacing coal fires. The traditional open grate is passing and is taking away with it those infinitely varied flue-problems which still give the old London a skyline all chimney-pots and stacks and cowls, No other metropolitan skyline {8 quite like it. Its rows upon rows of red pots, clustering two or four or eight to a chimney, astonish and puz- zle every newcomer to London--par- ticularly newcomers who land at Southampton or down the Thames, be- cause the boat trains from these ports enter London on elevated structures whence the newcomer's first view of London consists almost exclusively of chimney-pots. Except in parts of the east end, where the streets consist of rows of cottages exactly alike, there is usual ly an astonishing variety of pots and cowls to be observed. This is because chimneys have diseases and chimney doctors do their prescribing with lengths of stack and bends of cowl. A chimney may do its work regularly and complacently until the east wind comes along and then perhaps it falls into an acute depression and refuses to work at all. For an ailment of this prescribe a taller stack with a cowl sort the chimney-doctor is likely to added, This variety of pots and cowls, each designed to meet its own particular variety of flue complaint, gives the old skyline of London {ts fantastic shapes. Sometimes a chimney behaves itself for years until the erection of a taller building next door. Miles upon miles of old London streets still retain their old chimney- pots, but in the heart of London no new ones are being erected. And same who believe that coal fires and makers of fogs are not sorry to see their chimney-pot vents are the the old skyline disappear. fp re New Type Plane May Explore Stratosphere Roswell, N.M.,, July 4--New experi- ments in rockets and airplane motors to enable the study of the stratosphere are being made here by Dr. Robert H. Goddard, professor of physics at Clark University, Worcester, Mass. He selected Roswell because of at- mospheric conditions and the absence of storm areas. A new type of airplane motor that will enable airplanes to travel in rare atmospheres and at higher speed than ever hag been attained has been de- veloped by Dr. Goddard and patented. "It has been estimated that above 600 miles an hour, rocket propulsion for airplanes will be more effective than any other type and it is on this theory that I have built and patented this motor," he said. "Although the rocket jets them- selves have more efficiency than either the Diesel engine or the steam tur- bine, this efficiency can not be utilized at lower, or present airplane speeds, because a large part of the energy passes off in the jet and comparative- ly little is given to the plane. The pre- sent invention, involving the use of a turbine and propeller, in addition to rocket jets, overcomes the disadvant- age which exists under 600 miles an hour." Dr. Goddard's rockets will carry thermometers, barometers, electrical measuring apparatus, air traps to col- lect samples of upper air strata and other specially designed apparatus to gather information from the strato- sphere. Propelled by a newly developed liquid fuel, Dr, Goddard hopes to send the rockets 250 miles into the air. --r---- arm Finland to Preserve Folklore of Country Helsingfors, Finland.--Finland pos- sesses one of the largest collections of folklore in the world. '"Brage," the society which fosters and guides these efforts, celebrated the twenty-fifth an- niversary of its foundation in March. Its members are drawn from all parts of the country where Swedish 1s spoken, and from all classes of soclety, and at least one-fourth of those attend- ing the festivities were in national costume, Traditional part songs and solos were rendered, old-time dances performed with so much verve and expression that all could interpret their meaning, and a performance of excellent presentation of country life in bygone days. ee em.

The Rose Garden at the Farm (From an old diary.) Life on the farm, in this year of 1880, is satisfactory and at no time more 80 than in midsummer with the rose garden at its best. Nearly every- ore in the near-by villages and on neighboring farms possesses roses; but no roses, it is generally conceded, on neighboring farms possesses roses; which grow in the old garden, on Texas John Smith's farm. Ther» are many things besides roses that are accepted as a matter of course, in these days. Among the many, rank names. The writing of Texas John, without quotation marks, is considered eminently proper and no one thinks it necessary to explain the reason for it. Not only is he a man of parts in the community, but his farm is one of the finest in a sec- tion of Michigan which is renowned for its iertile farming lands. And the farm garden! It is at the rear ofe the spacious, comfortable house, at the left of the driveway, in- closed by yhite pickets Which. fn sea- son, never succeed in doing their duty.' Ramblers, climbers and long-stemmed "Jacks" refuse to stay within the in- closure, but lean over, creep under ar twine around the outer sides of the would-be stern, yet really friendly: pickets.

The share--a sort of unwritten law, in vogue summer after summer--com- prises a dozen roses to each caller. And the bestowal carries with it some- thing of a ceremonial. It means much more than a neighborly exchange. There is an exquisite graciousness of manner in these daughters of the house. There is an affection for the flowers and for the old garden, full of memories of other summer days, an affection which both giver and re- cipient feel. For months these friends look forward to these yearly visits. Roses from the farm garden are both a reminder and a fulfillment. --_---- Food From Coal May Be Possible Dortmund, Germanuy.--A scientific. discovery is announced here which, by use of a little imagination, seems a siep in the general direction of event- ual manufacture of food from coal. Prof, Wilhelm Cludd, director of the Coal Research Society, told membera of the organization today that Ger- man natural scientists have solved the problem of producing synthetic albu- men from coal.

L. Davis Washington. -- Carfully regulated eating was envisioned here last week as promising mankind freedom from the misery of decaying teeth, and even the healing of those in which decay had made considerable progress. The successful healirg of decayed teeth so.ely through treatment with special diets was reported at a dinner given in" honor of Dr. Sherman L. Davis, wh, was credited with recent nutritional discoveries which may bring about profound changes in the practice of den'istry, A case of the filling of a cavity in a tooth without mechanical assistance in Washington was described. At least a dozen similar cases were said to | have been reported by dentists in various parts of the country, and it was held to have been demonstrated that decay of the teeth almost al- ways can be preveated and in many cases arrested after it has made pro- gress through dietary treatment. Dr. D. C. Robinson, chief surgeon of the Youngstown and Ifland Steel Corporation, described Dr. Davis' ac- complishment #3 "one that bids fair to range with tha. of Louis'Pasteur," and Dr. M. A. Englih, a Washington physician, said he was "so impressed from a medical standpoint" that he would insist on every new case of his taking an examination to determine whether there was aeed for the nutri- tional treatment. The Washington case of self-res- toration of a tooth was described as that of a man forty-eight years old, who presented himself for an exam- ination Februury 1, 1930, and was found to have eighteen cavities, of which six were new and the others had appeared around gool fillings. One, a cervical erosion cavity in tha lower right first bicuspid, was left open for observation purposes and a special diet worked out by Dr. Davis was prescribed. This cavity was re- ported smaller when examined Octo- ber 4, and had entirely recalcified, or filled up naturally, on Juhe 2, when the patient was last examined. Dr. Davis told »f 675 cases over which he had maintained personal su- pervision. After checking them for a perial of six months, during wkich time an average of four cavities ap- peared in the teeth of each patient, each patient was exainrined and placed on a diet deemed best suited to indi- vidual needs. Upon examination after another six months period, he said that instead of finding the 2,700 new cavities which might have been ex- pected on the basis of the first six months of observation, only five were disclosed in the group. He added that he had made numerous tests of treat- ing hypersensitive teeth with the same method and had not experienced a failure. Dr. Leo W. Solbach, a director cf the Clinic Club, described the method of procedure in diagnosis. Assuming | that nutrition is of primary import. ' ance, he said, the first step should be the taking of X-ray pictures of the mouth. A history of the physical con- dition of the patient in the past, and various analyses should be obtained, he went on, to determine sugar, albu- requirements and disclose such condition as anemia, infection and diabetes. With the pa- tienl's needs thus determined, he :aid, a proper diet and treatment can be prescribed. ref ren o¥ It was his first day as a caddie and he had shown so much interest in the play that at the end of it his em- ployer asked him how he liked It. "Oh! I'm just crazy about it," replied the youngster. "The only part I don't like is carrying this bag." This tiny fawn seems to The Useful Yak Again in Demand British Expedition: To Use Yak in Himalayan Mountain Crescent The yak, which 1s being used for transport purposes by the British Ex- pedition to Mount Kamet, is consider- ed the most useful animal of the na. tives of Tibet. He flourishes at high altitudes, and is a strong beast, often furnishing the power by which their i grain is threshed. His long black halr is woven into tent cloth or ropes; his tail serves as a "fly whisk." The milk which is not drunk is turned into but. ter and cheese. When old, the yak is meat for a long time, His hide sup- plies leather of every kind. The wild yak is large, standing six feet high at the shoulder. This spe- cies is confined to the arid central plateau of Tibet. The domesticated type is smaller. Evidently, however, the line between the wild and do- mesticated yak is difficult to draw, judging from the experience of moun- tain climbers. The Kamet Expedition Teeny reported a small stampede of yaks. The Mount Everest Recon- noissance of 1921 made the following comments: "The yaks supplied to us were very wild. In a few minutes af- ter starting we saw the plain strewn with our kits and stores, and the yaks careering off in every direction." Again their historian reports that the wild yaks "rapidly got rid of their loads," but also that they are the most "satisfactory beast of burden; although their pace {is slow--about two miles an hour--they seldom halt until daylight fails." Because of the sound of the yak's name, and of its convenient size, the animal is also useful in this country, his place of residence being found in cross-word puzzles, and in limericks and in nonsense verses and other light rhymes. tee fem Rochester, England, Marks Ancient Historic Episodes Rochester, that ancient Kentish city, with its Norman castle, its ca- thedral, is many fine old Tudor houses and its Dickensian associations, drew attention to its beauties by a pageant in which eight of the most stirring evens in its history were represented. The pageant, beginning June 22, last- ed a week, and opened with the Ro- man Emperor Claudius establishing his camp on the present site of the city in A.D. 43. The next episode showed King Ethelbert of Kent visit- ing the city with Justus, the first Bish- op of the Diocese, and St, Augustine, to decree the building of a church on the site now occupied by the cathedral, Then followed the dedication of the cathedral by Henry I; the Garrison of the castle successfully resisting the final attack of Simon De Montfort's army in 1264; Chaucer's arrival in Strood soon after the commencement of work upon the new bridge project- ed by Sir John De Cobham and Sir Robert Knolles in 1388; Queen Eliza- beth's visit in 15673; and Charles II's departure from Rochester on his jour- ney to London in 1660. Finally Dick- ens recalled in a reverie incidents in hig life characters from his novels. In this episode people who, as children, actually knew Dickens when he lived at Gad's Hill Place, took part, Dame Sybil Thorndyke, who is a native of the city, impersonated the spirit of Rochester at the pageant. ----h Porcupines Record Trip United States Ranger Croghan of Glacier National Park recently re- ported what appears to be a record movement of the slow, snail-like trav- eler, the porcupine. 'As slow-moving as he is dull-wil- ted, a porcupine wll often cover a surprising distance by his persist- ence," says Ranger Croghan's report. "The morning of March 5 I encounter- ed the tracks of a porcupine on the North Fork Road in back of Fish Creék ranger station. Following them, I discovered that the animal had made a round trip from the top of McGee Hill some time between the snowstorm of the early evening be- fore and my arrival at 9 in the morn- ing. "He had diligently followed the road for a distance of ten miles though his footpriits were rarely aced at more thun six inches apart. t no place was thero any evidence that he had eaten, nor had he met any others of his kind. Had he, like 80 many summer visi the park's glories, made the trip for the sheer joy of it?" ree. : A Village Treat A certain young man of Sparsholt, in Berkshire,--who shall be name- less--has thought for his neighbors. He is about to be married to a girl from a neighboring centre, but the wedding will not take place at the bride's home becauso, as he naively puts it, he "wants the folk from his own village to have the rare oppor- tunity of witnessing a wedding cere- mony." It will be a "rare opportun- ity," for it will be the first wedding at Sparsholt in over three years, be- cause of which the centre 'has been named the "village without brides."

That woman, now well known in her field, handed $300 to an art stu- dent who finished school and became established. She, in turn, hearing of a business woman who had been offer- ed a good position on the Pacific coast, Hut did not have the money to: go to it, handed her the $300. The business woman made good and in a short time handed the $300 to another woman whose need was great. Three women well established in business and a fourth given a start! It looks as if the $300 would continue through the years as an investment in the gold bonds of friendship. ------------ Vancouver Increases Shipment of Wheat Vancouver, B.C. -- Wheat exports from the port of Vancouver for the current crop year to June 25th total 69,462,800 bushels, according to the weekly report of the Vancouver Mer- chants' exchange.
