Attempt to Reach Mission in

Again Fails.

DR.. Marquis Brings Back Pitiful Tales
of the Havoc Wrought by lnflu-
enza--Whole Villages Are
Wiped Out.

Newport. back by an i'm
penetrable ice-feld within 60 miles of
his goal, DIR. John A. Marquis, general
secretary of the board of home mis-
sions of the Presbyterian church of
the United States, was forced to re-
turn to New York without reaching
his destination at Point Barrow, Alas
ka, the northernmost mission In the
world operated by the Presbyterian
church.
DIR. Marquis left New York June 70
and sailed from Seattle July z to
Nome, where he boarded the United
States coast guard service steamer
Bear, to reach Point Barrow, but for
the second time within two years this
doughty little craft with its hardy
crew was unable to buck the terrific
ice jam of the arctic. For eight days
the sturdy boat battled, but finally on
August 10 it was forced to turn back.
The supplies for Point Barrow were I'M
loaded at Point Hope, $50 miles south
of that town. From here it is expected
that sledges will be able to carry some
of them TO the needy people at Point
Barrow.
Last year" says DIR. Marquis, "the
Bear was able to get within % miles
of Point Barrow, but the steady winds
this year had forced the ice masses
down farther south than they had beer
for years.

TRACTOR WON'T JUMP FENCES
Some of the Arguments in Favor of
Its More General Use-Will Not

Some of the many arguments in ia
vor of the tractor are given as follows
in Farm Life:
1t will not bite, balk or run away.
1t will not shy at a loose scrap OF pa
per in the road. 1t will not kick the
stall all night and keep the tired farm
er and his wife awake. 1t will not crib
the manger.
1t will not break out of the barn at
night, jump the fence and eat your
neighbours cabbages.
1t will not lie down il. a particularly
moist spot in the barnyard, roll over
on its back and elevate its four feet
into the air.
II does not have TO be curried
sponged off or treated with horse lini-
ment.
It is not addicted to collie, cough,
heaves, SPAWN or wind-gall.
1t will not snort in your ear or whisk
its tail in your face.
II will not "haw" when you tell II
| TO s'gee" or vice-versa.
You do not have to pull on the lines
and boiler your head off when you
want it to stop.
II does not "up and die" just as the
spring work is coming on.

Harvard Professor DiSCloSeS Way

HIGH LIVING COST BEATEN

Reduce Atmosphere Into Basic
Food Product-other Ways
of Making Sugar.

New York.-During the present agi-
tation over the high cost of living it
is interesting to note several recent
discoveries made in the field of syn
thetic chemistry. DR.. Winthrop John
Yanleuven Osterhout, Phi. d., professor
of totany at Harvard university, has
hit upon plan of making nutritious
food from sunlight, air and water.
Although this process of food max
ing is as yet confined to the laboratory
stage Prof. Osterhout points out that
many discoveries remained some time
in the laboratory stage before they
could be placed on a commercial basis
AS an instance he cites the many
doubters of the practical value of cleo.

RELIEF SHIP HELD
UP BY ARCTIC ICE

Wales, the westernmost point of the
American continent, about four hours
west of Seattle.
Upon this trip the vessels coal sup
ply ran low and the Bear had to put
back from Cape Prince Of Wales to
Nome for recoaling. Leaving Nome the
vessel began its journey to Point Bar
row. Kotzebue sound was entered and
stop was made at the village, where
the Society of Friends had excellent
missions, and then the Bear went
north to Kivaiina where no mission
fields are established, but which few
missionaries visit at intervals From
this point DIR. Marquis went to Point
Hope, which until recently was one of
the most famous whaling stations in
the arctic regions. From there the
great but futile attempt nOrthward
was made toward Point Barrow.
DIR. Marquis on his return trip gave
special study to the conditions as left
by the influenza epidemic. AS a result
he brings back with him pitiful stories
of the terrible ravages wrought by
this epidemic among the Eskimos.
Whole Villages Wiped Out.
In Nome alone, says DR.. Marquis
over 80 per cent of the Eskimo popula,
ton was wiped out almost overnight
and in other sections of the country
whole villages of igloos were swept
away. In one town of 800 only thirteen

tricity, and the long uphill road Edison
had to travel before he gained recog-
milton commercially.
Anent the production Of nutritious
food in the laboratory Prof. osterhout,
who is in no sense a visionary, but
whose manner would indicate a prac-
tical hardheaded business man, says:
Several Ways to Make Sugar.
"Analyzing food we learn that the
three chief components are sugar, fats
and protein. Until recently it was i'm
possible to manufacture sugar syn
thetically, but now we have solved the
riddle in several different ways. Iron
rust exposed to the prismatic rays OF
the sun through water makes for
maldehyde, since the rays of the sun
acting upon the rust as contact
agent, mixed with the carbon dtoxide
of the air and water makes this power
full chemical. From formaldehyde GER
/ tain forms of sugar may be obtained.
| Other ways of making sugar syn
thetically are through the employment
4 of ultraviolet rays, radium and cleo
\ tricity.
/ part of our research work at Har'
wards botanical laboratory has been
! to observe the process by which the
plant transforms the carbon dioxide
gas and water together into sugar, and
later into starch, either of which forms
can be preserved.
$50 much for obtaining sugar. Pro
| TEN is composed of amino acids. i
has been found possible in the labora
tory to take the carbon dioxide of thu
air, water and ammonia, which is als'
found in the air in small quantities, t.
form a simple kind of protein. Nov
through the combination of sugar ant
protein. both of which have been man
ufactured in the laboratory, the neces
sary fat is obtained, with the resultan
nutritious food.
The Great Obstacle.
"Of course one of the greatest OF
stacles standing in the way of the pre-
duction of food through this metho
is in the present cost of making sugar
which can only be manufactured a
yet in small quantities. Our creates
competitor in this important field i
the plant itself, which thus far undel
sells the synthetic method"
Prof. Osterhout, who has taught q
many of the large universities through
out the United Stats, and has attain
ed an international reputation as
man of science, is a Fellow of tn
American Association for the Adyanc,
ment of Science and of the America

b dition to many other scientific and r
i, search societies he has been profe
sor of botany since 1913.

Belgium for preserving the lives of

Germany, on the other hand, need
not figure in such a map for Ameri-
cans because there is no present lndi-
cation that we shall be called on at all
to take thought for the food needs of
Germany. Germany probably can care
for her own food problem II she is
given access to shipping and is enabled

England, France, the Netherlands

have sufficient food to meet immediate
needs, but their future presents seri-
Gus difficulties. The same is true of
Spain and the northern neutral coun-
tries-Norway, Sweden and Denmark
whose ports have been open and who
have been able to draw to some degree
upon foreign supplies.
Most Of Russia is already In the

be a damaging one was soon under

sparks from the chimney. that had
lodged under the shingles of the
roof and famed by the brisk wind
soon had the dry roofing ablaze.

A food map Of Europe today shows
not a single country in which the fu-
ture does not hold threat of serious
difficulties and only a small part which
Is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception OF the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until mex harvest, and
even In the Ukraine, with stores accu-
INFLATED on the farms, there Ii famine
in the large centers Of population.
Belgium and northern France, as
well as Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest of Europe
because they stand In a different rela-
ton from the other nations TO the peo-
pie Of the United States. America has
for four years maintained the small
war %rations of Belgium and northern
France and Is already making special
efforts to care for their Increased
after-the-war needs, which, with those
Of Serbia, must be included in this
plan, are urgent in the extreme and
must have immediate relief.
The gratitude of the Belgian nation
for the help America has extended to
her during the war constitutes the
strongest appeal for US to continue our
work there. The moment the German
armies withdrew from her soil and she
was established once more In her own

gions, with conditions most serious In
Finland.
Bohemia, Serbia, RoumanIa and
Montenegro have already reached the
fannie point and are suffering a heavy
toll of death. The Armenian popula.
ton is falling each week as hunger
takessits toll, and In Greece, Albania
and Roumanla 81 serious are the food
shortages that famine is near. Al
though starvation Is not yet imminent,
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur-
key are In the throes Of serious strin-
geDcies.
In order TO fulfill Americas pledge
In world relief we will have to export
every TOT Of food which can be han
died through our ports. This means at
the very least a minimum OF 90, 900
tons compared with 6,000,O00 tons pre-
wal exports and 11,S20,000 tons ex-
ported last year, when we were bound
by the ties Of war to the European
allies.
If we fail to tighten the black spots
on the hunger map or If we allow any
portions to become darker the very
peace for which we fought and bled
Will be threatened. Revolt and anarchy
inevitably follow famine. Should this
happen we will see In other parts of
Europe a repetition of the Russian de-
bacle and our fight for world peace
will have been In vain.
