Mr.. Harris to centralize author

and cOhesiveness to the educa-
tional system-is- good. The
means by which he proposes to
accomplish this is an overlapping

HAS FLAN TO SOLVE
FARM LABOR PROBLEM
Michigan Man Taking Census
to Aid In Colonization.

Lansing. Mich.-Labor Commissioner
James Cunningham has started what
he thinks will result In the taking of a
complete census of Michigan farm
hands.
He is sending out blanks to every
supervisor with the request that they
be filled out and returned. The blanks
ask for the number of farm hands
employed by the month. the average
number Of months they are employed,
the average monthly wages. the num-
Der of farms operated by tenants and
whether or not there is a scarcity OF
farm help in the district. Some of the
supervisors close to Lansing have al
ready answered.
I'VE hope if possible to get some
data by which we may he able to start
a sort of colonization system which
may eventually relieve the farm labor
market
$50 far we have found that day farm
labor is what Is scarce. On the other
hand. we have reports from some sec
tons which show that there are many
farms-large ones which are only par
| TALLY cultivated
"Our plan Is to have the owners Of
those large farms cut them MP into
small parts and put on them Hun.
| garians and other foreigners who are
natural born farmers Give them space
enough to live on and raise enough
for their own needs and at the same
time guarantee them a certain amount
of day work In the vicinity, We think
In this way we can relieve the prob
lem OF day farm labor"
Mr., Cunningham has received the CO
operation Of ffty-three county clerks
In his plans to have them act as agents
for a free employment bureau at their
respective county seats.

poses to extend the shore leave of sail

Under present regulations. when q
sailor gets shore leave. he must return

There have been many desertions be

and Secretary Daniels has issued an
order providing that there shall he a

Daniels, "to expect that & sailor can

London. - With the thoroughness
which has always characterized his
work Sir Ernest Shackleton is about TO
make a preliminary trial expedition un-
der arctic conditions in the glaciers of
Norway. This will be for the special
purpose of testing the rations for his
trip across the antarctic continent,
which he hopes to make In four and a
half months. No party eve started
out without having food depots to
make such a distance as that in a
straight line. but Sir Ernest and his
men have made special preparations
for the attempt.
They have with the aid of the royal
army medical corps evolved the per

ty-fve ounces daily as compared with
the three pounds or more consumed by
the average man, but it is believed it
represents the highest nutritive value
for polar travel.
Sir Ernest will be accompanied by
five members of his staff when he goes
to Norway to conduct experiments
tents and motor sledges. The party
will don polar kit and travel among the
glaciers. While the cold will not be as
intense as in the polar regions. the
country will furnish the same sort Of
sudden billiards as are experienced in
the antarctic.
The party will test the effect and po-
tency of the rations in most detailed
fashion. Such an experiment never
has been made before.
Shackleton's new ship. the Endur-
ance, has been almost completely fitted
feet longer than his last ship. Nimrod.
and is a beautiful specimen of wooden
shipbuilding. 1t probably is the last
of its class that will be constructed.
The whole keel is made of solid oak
five and a half feet thick, and the
sides are two feet thick. The vessel
belongs to the barkentine class and
has the latest triple expansion engines
and will steam at the rate OF ten
knots.
The ship is fitted TO consume both
oil and coal. when in the ice oil will
be substituted for coal, which will
mean economy If it Is delayed in the

and full neat generated quickly. When
the OH has been used the tanks will be
filled with water ballast The Endur
ance will take on 100 tons of coal

lands. so 1t will enter the Weddell sea
with full bunkers.
The second ship. Aurora. intended for
the Ross sea side of the expedition,
has been purchased and will be deliv-
cred at Hobart. Tasmania, at the end

on the opposite side Of the antarctic,
