On April %. 1907. the learned heads

therefore, first used in the book "CoS-

DER SNOW And ICE
Nothing Monotonous About Travel
in Greenland.
Passenger on Dog Sleigh Likely to Be
Furnished Sufficient Thrills in
Days Journey to Carry Him
for Some Time.

"As a last novelty l was treated to
q sleigh drive, when the earth had been
covered by snow" \. Riis Christensen
says in "Two Summers in Greenland"
1.-THE administrator prided himself on
having the best team in Greenland.
and indeed they were spirited lot to
behold as they tore away over the
gpound with 'heir tails curved over
their oacks Neither rocks nor holes,
no obstacle, indeed. under Il steep wall,
would have checked them. Two young
ones, Ajax the First and Second, had
never been harnessed before, and
looked peculiarly stupid on finding
themselves captured. When the team
started. all Tor one and one for all, the
two recruits at first tried TO make their
escape, but in the effort they rolled
over and over, humping from rock to
rock as they We're dragged along, I'M
til they finally took their places in the
pack and learned that their most sensl-
BILE course was to work with their COM
panions.
1.-THE amount of knocking about
ing smashed is incredible. The low
runners, some six feet long, are lash
ed with sealskin thongs to the cross
pieces that form the seat, and afford
elasticity. The two upright poles give
q hold to the driver if he has to fol-
low on foot and steer the sleigh from
behind. The dogs are partly guided by
the whip and partly by the voice, but
in many instances the dogs know bet
ter how to find their way than does
their driver. On smooth ice 10 miles
may be done in an hour, but on rugged
ground a pace of four or five miles is
called good, and 500 pounds is consid-
cred a load for eight dogs.
"Where the ice was broken, as often
was the case near land, or in crossing
large assures, great skill was required
to get dogs and sleigh across. .
When uncertain where 20 go and you
had to leave it to the dogs to find the
way, you might be always sure that
their instinct would keep them from
running into real peril. In case of
danger ahead the boss dog would stop
and growl, sniff, and turn in some
other direction.
1T was impossible to drive team
without having a boss as the dog is
called that has absolute control over
all the Others He leads the way, en-
courages, Furnishes offenses, settles dis
putes and has to be used with the great
est care.
There was great excitement when
the ground va .eep. Sometimes the
driver would fasten all the dogs be-
hind, perhaps tie up one of the feet of
each animal, and himself take hold of
one Of the poles and act as a brake. At
other times he would let the sleigh go
backward in front of the dogs. Again,
he would take his sleigh and let the
sleigh hurry down, with the dogs fol-
lowing as best they might, some getting
entangled and being dragged behind,
and finally all landing in the deep snow
below. If there was any possibility
of reaching a human dwelling, they
generally made for it, but otherwise
they would encamp in the ice. The
bearskin sleeping bags would be spread,
and the travellers would creep into
them, with as many dogs as possible on
he top"

This Young Man
Youthful Italian Makes A
Hard Fight To Get
Into The War.

Louis Castrilli. jr., will be one OF
the proudest men in the line when ne
leaves tonight with the county con-
tingent for Camp Travis for training
in the national army.
CastriIli is American born but OF
italian parents. When the war first
broke out, he yearned TO so to italy
and fight for the land of his fathers
but he couldn't get across. Then he
tried to enlist here, but his height and
weight were under normal and he
could not go. Since the United states
has entered the war, he has made
three vain efforts to volunteer. He
was working at the smelter and the
shelter folks watched his efforts with
interest and approval At last by sys-
tematic stretching exercises and the
drinking of lots of water, he has
increased his height by half inch,
and has brought up his weight to a
point where it is propOrtionate to the
height, according to military require
ments. and as a result Of this pains
taking effort. has been accepted FOR
the national army.

RED CROSS SWEATERS REACH
MEN THROUGH SUPPLY UNI

Discussing a report that Red Cross
sweaters delivered to the 18th field
artillery by officers Of that organi-
zation last week were returned to the
Red Cross. after considerable cere-
mony had surrounded the presenta-
ton, Dr.. ". L Brown, chairman OF
the FL Paso branch OF the Red Cross,
said Tuesday morning:
THE sweaters were delivered to
Col Ohio Farr, OF the regiment. and
his receipt was taken. The sweaters
will be distributed through the regu-
lar supply department OF the organi-
zation and men will be required to
account for them as regular equip
ment
"The regular army is no exception
in Red Cross relief, II its men need
the materials It bears the same re-
lation to the Red Cross as any other
part OF the military organization"
An anonymous communication to
The Herald purporting to be from a
soldier at Fort Bliss, stated that ''all
the sweaters were returned 10 the
Red Cross as soon as they were
given" the writer adding: We are
thankful that the Red Cross had
enough sweaters left after supplying
the national army, to furnish the
regular army this spring, as we know
they will be very nice and warm this
summer"
