ritish explorers a shortly. It it Greenland and the object of the British expedition is to examine the possibilities of an Arctic air route between this country and Canada. The Arctic route is the shortest pos- sible, and it has certain other advan. tages as well. The longest stretch of sea flying, going bydhe Faroe Islands, « won't be more than about 300 miles, and there are natural emergency landing grounds over a great part of the proposed airway- The most 'awk- "ward part of the journey will be that over Greenland. § WINTER ON THE ICE CAP This is so becau e of the fact that the centre of Greenland consists of a great ice plateau, 8,000 feet above sei level at its highest part. and 500 miles across. Really, Greenland and Ice- land "ought to charge names--it's Greenland that specializes in ice, while Iceland can boast of green and smil- ing fields. Can an airport be established on this ice plateau'! And can planes fly across it? It involves a big "climb" for a loaded plane, and weather condi- tions above the ice may prove too treacherous for safety. These are some »f the questions that the expedition will have to answer, and in order to do so they are to spend next winter on the ice cap. Their base will be on the highest part of the plateau, 'and from it parties ill go out with dog sledges to make a thor- * ough survey of the "icy mountains" of the hymn. This will take quite a long time, for the average speed of a dog sledge is only about five miles an hour. EXPLORERS ARE WELCOME In view of the fact that visitors are unwelcome in Greeniand--ships aren't allowed to call at the ports unless in ' cases of emergency or with special permissior. for a strictly limited per- jod--how is the expedition going to fare? May it find itself in difficulties with the authorities--perhaps not be . permitted to land? Explorers and scientists come into their own in Greenland. In more civil ized countries they prefer business men; but here, where the door is 'banged and barred. against the busi. ness mar, scientists and explorers are welcomed with open arms, and given every possible help. So the expedition will meet with no difficulties from Greenland's author- ities--nor 'are the latter likely to ob- ject to the air route, If At proves practicable, the Greenland airport wilt have to be on the ice/cdp, away from the inhabited parts of the country, in which there are no suitable landing- places. SAFEGUARDING THE ESKIMOS The air route therefore, would not interfere in any way with he present "closed door" policy in Greenland--a policy, by the way, which shouldn't be unthinkingly condemned as unenlight- ened. The country is under Danish rule, and the object of the restrictions is to safeguard the Eskimos, who are the original inhabitar ts. If free access t« the country were allowed, their A modes of life would be altered--at present they live in the traditional 'way by means of fishing and hunting. Such an alteration might easily re- ~ sult in the extinction of the Esikmos. For instance, certain European dis- _ eases. such as measles, are often fatal when Eskimos contract then. So there are good reasons for the "isolation" 'system. In other parts of the world, where a different policy has been pur- sued, the Eskimos are diminishing 1 in * numbers; in Greenland, they are in- creasing.--Ansvers. or er reeds Statue Is Erected or "Pet Marjorie" A statue TF just been erected to a little girl 'who died, over a hund / years ago, at the age of eight.

At the Mel. lon Institute in ittsburgh, Dr. H. M. | Johnson and his associates have been studying the movements and postures of normal sleeping individuals by a special motion 'picture cam which photographs the sleeper every time that he stirs. In a recent report to the American Medical Association. Dr. Johnson, Dr, T- H. Swan and Mr. G. E. Weigan describe one normal in- dividual thus found to twist and tura every few minutes all night long, as- suming one after the other no less than 33 widely different postures. Thousands of other tests, the investi- gators report, have shown this almost continual twisting and turning during sleep to be the rule rather than the exception. Only persons who have been heavily drugged lie perfectly quiet when soundly asleep. What 1s still more remarkable, the majority of the postures assumed in bed by a nor- mal sleeper are shown by the tell-tale camera to be contorted postures, with the body bent or contracted and the spinal column bowed and twisted as different as possible from the usual medica! advice to lie straight and re- lax perfectly. Apparently, the- Pitts- burgh.investigators report, "the most restful night's sleep is characterized by the use of a considerable variety of bodily positions, all of which are con- torted; none of which indicate any- think like 'complete relaxation' of all parts of the skeletal muscular system, such as one may observe in a fainting person; but each of which appears to be well adapted to the relief of irrita- tion that was set up in the posture last taken, as well as in the day's This is at wh can n -- ee ry a the price ich you ow buy RED LABEL Sir James Barrie to When Languid And Anaemic When a gi.1 Is languid, dull and ir ritable; when the her color fades yu may be sure here blood is impoverish- ed.
