eastward, Stefansson spent the 191314 winter with the Anderson party and in the summer of 1914 discovered the new lands. The 1915 and 1916 summers were spent exploring and mapping the coun- try. For almost two years, nothing was heard from Stefansson and it was believed he was working his way eastward. Suddenly he ap- pared near Herschel Island, off the Canadian Arctic Coast, in 1918 and reported he had found more new islands
 One of the secondary objects of Stefansson's trip was to navigate the northwest passage to the At lantic and end his trip with an as cent of the St. Lawrence River to Montreal in 1917 or 1918. In this he failed for reasons not clearly de- termined. an
 Although the war had not start ed when Stefansson left, in 1913, he plans to enter war work, accord ing to reports, and will tour the United States and Canada giving lectures for the benefit of the Red Cross. Although he hopes to go back to the Arctic, he has no defi- nite plans.

Delegate Su|zer Is Now Trying to Remedy Mis- take by Applying the
 Smith-Hughes Act.
FOR FEE ERAL AID
Money Secured from the Treasury by Other States for Vocation
 al Education.

Three days before the 64th Con gross of the United States went out of existence, in March 1917, just be- fore the term of James Wickersham, as Delegate from Alaska, came to an end, bill, now known as the Smith-Hughes Act, was passed, sign 'ed by the President and became a law. The law extended Federal aid to every State in the Union, for vO- catiOnal education; that is, gave money out of the Treasury of the United States to the several States for the purpose of encouraging voca- tional education. It provided that not less than $30,000 per year should be given to every State. Either through the negligence of MT. Wick ersham, or inability, that act was not extended to Alaska, and thereby the Territory is deprived of con- tinuous minimum appropriation of S30,O00 per year, which would in crease correspondingly with the pop ulatiOn Charles A. Sulzer, the pres ent Delegate from Alaska, has in troduced resolution in Congress, providing for the extension of the benefits of this act to the Territory of Alaska and he has absolute con- tidence that he will be able to SC. cure it's adoption and gain for the Territory what it should have had rom the first enactment of the law.
 In letters to several people who are much interested in vocational edu- cation, MT Sulzer has pointed out his views regarding the desirability of extending vocational education in Alaska It will mean that with the aid of the funds from the Federal Government it will be possible to in. stitute courses in the public schools whereby children may study at home domestic science, the trades, and az riculture. At the present time linn tied funds and facilities compel the school authorities to limit these courses with the result that many parents have seen fit to send their children Outside to receive what they consider proper educational oppor tunities. And many families have even left the Territory for that req. son.
 In the States, the benefits of the Smith-Hughes Act have been en ioyed by millions of children during the past year and the commission named to administer the law, reports that the results have been very gratifying.
 The resolution introduced by Mir Sulzer has been referred to the Com mittee on Education and the Dele gate is in hopes of receiving a ia vorable report on the measure be fore the present session ends in De cember in which event Alaska would obtain the benefits of the act during the next fiscal year.

Sketch of His Expedition and What He Has AC- compIished While
 in the Arctic.
ABOUT BLONDE ESKIMO
Description of His Expe- rienCe with Boats Drift ing About in the
 Far North.

Vilhjalmur Stefansson is expected to arrive in Juneau on the next boat from Skagway. He left for Dawson some time ago, according to letter received in Juneau, and was to stop over here a short time.
 Vilhjalmur Stefansson, discover of the "blond Eskimos" has spent over five years exploring and studying barren Arctic wastes for the Cana dian government.
 A new continent or large island was found by Stefansscon on the north of Prince Patrick Island and was found in 1914.
 illness hastened the end of the ex- petition. Reports received from Stefansson in 1917 said he hoped to make further explorations in 1918 and 1919 and end his travels in 1920. Instead of going north ward, however, Stefansson spent most of the 1918 summer in hos pital at Fort Yukon, just inside the Arctic Circle, recovering from an attack of typhoid which brought him inland from the Arctic in March, 1918.
 Stefansson last saw the outside world when he sailed from Victoria, B. C., June IT, 1913, at the head of an expedition in search of new lands which had been reported to have been seen far to the north of any explored area. He also inter d. ed to study the topography md ocean currents of the north and gather flora and fauna.
 One of his original party was Captain Robert Bartlett, who had been Rear Admiral R. E. Peary's Arctic master. Another was Dr. R. M. Anderson, with whom Stefans- son had studied at the University of Iowa. About score of the men who left with Stefansson have, died from various causes, among them suicide, exposure and disease.
 When the expedition left, it was aboard. the Karluk, an old steam whaler. On its arrival at Nome, Alaska, Stefansson bought other boats and sent Dr. Anderson and a number of the party to the Corona tion Gulf country to study the land and the natives. The main expedi- tion continued north in search of new shores.
 After the Karluk, carrying Stef- ansson. rounded Point Barrow, up at the "corner of the continent" it was gripped by the ice and ap- parently frozen in for the winter. Stefansson and four companions went ashore to hunt. When they returned the Karluk had been car ried away by a storm.
 Stefansson, believing the men aboard. under Captain Bartlett, were safe. dismissed the loss of the Karluck as an incident and set out eastward afoot. The Karluk. it was learned later, was carried westward by the ice and crushed by the foes east of Wrangell Island, which is north of western Siberia. The men took to the ice and several were never seen again. Pressing

RED CROSS NOW PLANNING FOR
 MORE KNITTING
Acting Manager Issues a Statement Regarding the Plans of the
 Patriotic Order.

sThat the millions of Red Cross knitters may know the plans of the Red Cross for future knitting, George E. Scott, Acting Manager of the American Red Cross, has issued the following statement:
 When the War Industries Board sometime ago advised the Red Cross that future production of knitting yarn would be greatly reduced we immediately commenced to purchase all yarn suitable for our knitting As a result we have today in stocl or on order 100000 pounds of yarr for distribution to our chapters. II is hoped that we may obtain some additional yarn from wool unsuit able for Government uses. The ex pected total will however, be con siderably below the ten million pounds used last year While the total of yarn we can secure is being determined, we are studying how tc use our supply to produce only gar ments which are most essential When a conclusion is reached we will announce our full program ol knitting
 ''In addition to this stock of yarn the Red Cross has ready for distri button 1,6O0O00 sweaters, 134,000 muf flers, 384,O00 wristlets, 226,000 hel nets and 1,328,000 pairs of socks a total of 3,674,000 articles. We are hopeful that these and such addi tional garments as we shall be able to make will enable us to meet the more urgent requirements of our men during the coming Winter. In this connection it will be of interest tc the women who have been knitting to know that from September 1, 1917 to June 30, 1918, the Red Cross dis tributed 5,S75,OO0 knitted garments to the Army and Navy of the Unit ed States During the same period S7O,0OO knitted articles were sent tc the Red Cross Commissioners ir France and Italy for distribution tc soldiers, sailors and civilians.
 At the request of the War Indus tries Board, with which the Red Cross works in close cooperation we have urged Chapters and individ ual workers not to buy wool in the open market put to secure their ma terials through our Department Of Supplies"
