SEEKING SECRETS OF ARCTIC
Daring Feats That Have Been Under
taken by Both RoaId Amundsen
and Storker Storkerson.


Two Arctic explorers, Roald Amund-
sen, noted Norwegian, drifting in his
icelocked boat eastward from the At
lantic, and Storker Storkerson, lieu
tenant of ViIhjalmur Stefansson. Ca
madam explorer, floating westward
from the Pacific on an ice pack, are
both believed approaching the new ST.
berian islands, which jut out of the
Arctic ocean off the mouth of the
Lena river in Siberia. Authorities
credited with knowing the Arctic cur
rents believe the two will reach the is
lands early next year, the Washington
Evening Sar says.
No other explorers are now in the
Arctic, and it is thought very likely
that neither Amundsen nor Storkerson
knows the other has the same goal in
mind. They probably will not meet,
for Storkerson is expected to arrive
ahead of Amundsen and probably win
land far west of Amundsen's course.
Amundsen, the diseoverer of the
south pole and navigator of the diff
clit Northwest passage, is on the first
lap of journey to the north pole. He
expects to make the last lap by air
plane. Storkerson is bound back in the
general direction of civilization after
spending several years in the Arctic.
Both are seeking new lands and study
ing the currents and life Of the north
ern ocean.
When Amundsen reaches the Siberi-
an islands the current, it is believed
will turn and carry him north. He is
expected to remain with the drift until
it lands him on the immovable ice far
up toward the pole. There, according
to his plans, he will establish base
and attempt to fly the rest of the dis
lance to the top of the globe.

Made Truck Driver Smile.

A Yankee truck drivers right for
ward wheel had just sunk with an air
OF finality into half-filled shell hole
on the road near Avocourt, and he was
throwing over a terrific barrage of pro-
family when he suddenly stopped short
and his jaw dropped.
Then it closed in grin as broad as
the Sacramento, from whose distant
shore he had gone forth to war. He
was contemplating the approach along
the roadside of four stalwart and Inn
posing officers of the famous Prussian
guard. On their shoulders, as they
marched along in the drizzling rain,
was a stretcher, and on the stretcher
lay wounded doughboy smoking g
cigarette. Stars and Stripes.

M'd Hate to See You Fight"

Sergeant r. r. Eddy, Sixteenth en-
gineers, said in a letter received by
his father, Frank M. Eddy, that foot
ball game between the engineers and
the medical corps, recently played In
France, was one of the wickedest he
had ever witnessed. Both sides were
out for blood, and the fact that no one
was injured he attributed to the hard
ened condition of the players, sea-
soned by many months of severe train
ing.
About five thousand French soldiers
witnessed the game, and afterward
one Poilu said to Sergeant Eddy: IF
that is what you Yankees call play,
I'd hate to see you fight. st. Paul

HEAVY STRAIN ON HIGHWAYS
Roads That Stand Traffic in Normal
Times Now Called Upon to With
stand Motortrucks.
prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)


Apparently the point has been
reached where the demands of traffic
have exceeded the strength of the
average road to meet them. High
ways designed to withstand the
pounding of ordinary loads, that have
stood up under imposts they were In
tended to sustain, no longer appear
to be adequate to meet the present
day conditions. Congestion on our
railways, possibly more acute in some
sections than in others, has put upon
our roads transportation burden new
er expected and consequently not pro-
vided for by the engineers who design
ed the highway systems of the states
Roads have been designed with the
same care as given to other structures
and with the same regard for the pur-
poses for which they were constructed
and the burdens they were called upon
to bear. Widespread failure is dem
Onstrative Of the fact that roads can
not carry unlimited loading. Their ca
pacity is limited. If 1t is exceeded
habitually and constantly, then they
cannot survive.
The products Of our farms and of
our factories must be moved The
wants of our urban dwellers must be
met. But the needs of our country in
voived in this great conflict are para
mount to the needs Of single commune
ties, and thus when avalanches of
freight destined to fill the greater ne
cessity made imperative the partial
closing of our vast system of rail trans
portation to the smaller, the relief ap-
peared to be In the motortruck and the

ENROLLED UNDER RED CROSS
Greek Girls, Trained Here as Nurses
viii Do Work of Mercy in Their
Own Country.

Greek girls in the uniforms OK
American Red Cross nurses are now
serving in the hospitals of Greece.
These girls are part of a number from
New England who, anxious to help
their fellow eountrymen, decided to
become nursing aids, says the public
information bureau, Washington.
They enrolled in training courses in
the Massachusetts General hospital
and other Boston hospitals, where
they soon became proficient in their
work. Recently four of them, who
had practically completed their
courses, decided that they would like
can mission which vast just then about
to leave. Through the Greek legation
they applied for permission to go with
this mission as members of the Amer
lean Red Cross.
Now they are not only serving their
own people, but are also creating a
feeling in Greece which cements the
long friendship of the Greeks with
America. Although no American
troops have been landed on Greek
soil, the people are nevertheless
pleased with the sight of an Ameri-
can uniform, no matter what branch
of the service it represents.
Another group of Greek girls in
Boston is taking up courses at Sim
mons college in dietetics, domestic
science and home aid. These girls
also expect shortly to sail for Greece.

into great fleets, then grew into heav-
Ter units that, in turn, developed into
long trains. From horse-drawn We
hicles with concentrated loads of prob
ably three tons at most, travelling at
the rate of four miles an hour, sprung
almost overnight the heavy motortruck
with concentrated load of from eight
to II tons, laundering along at a
speed of 20 miles an hour. The result ?
The worn and broken threads that bind
our communities together. The solu-
ton? That is the problem that con-
fronts the men who will be called up
on to meet the ever-growing demands
upon our highways and to devise reg
ulations fair to those who pay for their
construction and to those who pay for
their use.

HINTS ON SELECTING LAYERS
Pullets With Alert Eyes and Comb,
Face and WattIes of Fine
Texture Are Best.

Judging poultry is said to be finer
art than the selection Of other farm
animals, but the MAJ or woman who
picks pullets with fine head, alert
eyes and comb, face and wattles OF
fine texture, has taken the first step
toward increased egg production. Good
pullets should stand square on their
feet, with legs wide apart, with the
front end of the body slightly higher
than the posterior end, and with long
back md tail carried rather high. The
body should be wedge-shape. yielding
ample room for the reproduction and
digestive organs.

HAVE ROADS IN GOOD ORDER
Those Needing surfacing VIII Soon
Pay for Themselves in improved
Marketing Conditions.

1t costs something to put roads In
order, to surface those that need sur
facing, but they will pay for them
selves in increased land values and
improved marketing conditions. The
bad roads cost is never settled. It
is like shoddy piece of goods bought
at high price on installments and
worn out before it is paid for, only to
be replaced by another Of the same
sort on the same plan of payment.
On deal OF this kind we never catch
up with our losses.

The public appreciates only repairs

Der hauled in wet weather will undo

1t is an easy matter to have an
agreement so each farmer will drag
the road in front of his farm. This
would maintain the road till the regu-

In line with the announcement
made by the Journal last week that
potatoes could hereafter be used as
substitutes by merchants when sell
ing wheat flour, the following teele-
gram from state Food Administra-
tor Oglebay was received by local
Fuel Administrator Gray Silver:
"On account of the difficulty in Sc
curing wheat -four substitutes in
ration of four pounds Of potatoes to
one pound Of -four, but provision doe
rot extend to farmers having pota-
toes on hand. This telegram takes
place Of any other instructions given
regarding potatoes. 1t is an emer-
gency measure only and may be
withdrawn any time. Try not to have
this permission abused. Also rye

wheat flour substitutes for bakers
only until March 81, but no longer.
Bakers using rye flour as substitutes

CENTRAL

IN A MODERN MuSkEJEER, to gbe
shown at the. Central tonight Doug
las Fairbanks holds up the mirror OF
the past, and compares the chivalry
&C oldon times to the present day.
The phctoplay is released by Art
craft, and is in line with Fairbanks
recent productions with scenes OF
Reconsideration and humor.
Fairbanks interprets the role of
Ned Thacker, of Kansas, who inner
tied the spirit of D'Artagnan through
prenatal influence, his mother having
been an ardent reader of Dumas. The
se,f-reliance of the modern woman
as compared with her sister in past
generations is strikingly shown, for
in many cases the chivalry Of the
modern DArtagnan is mistaken, and
his gallant attempts to assist ladies
in distress lead to rebQke from the
independent maidens who are on the
alert to squelch flirtatious pests.
However, Ned finally meets his
fate in the person of Marporie Daw.
who plays the part of Dorothy Mo
rane, a tourist, and in scenes Of sup
er-heroism, done in dashing Fairbanks
style, he saves the girl from a lfor-
rible fate and wins a bride.
