Harold Noice Mapping Northern Coastline e
 Trip to Civilization.

Seattle, Oct. 1S.-An American eX- plorer, Harold Noice. formerly a member of ViIhyjaImUr Stefansson's parry, is working his way eastward on foot along the route of the north west passage on the northern rim of the e u,:nent, according to word re- ceived here. He expects to reach the Hudson Bay country and civiliza ton some time next summer.
 Storker Storkerson, formerly sec ond in command of the Stefansson party, who arrived here recently from the far no--A, said that Noice, accom- panied only by Eskinos, is pro- ceeding slowly and mapping portions of the coast lines as he gOes 4 stretch of the coast line of Victoria Land, heretofore Unmapped is being charted by Noice.
 NOice may visit the interior of Vic toria Land, which, according to all reports, has never been explored by white men. All explorers, traders and trappers who have touched Vic toria Land have only journey along it's shores. Stefansson found the tribe of "blond Eskimos'' in the Vic tOria Land country.
 Noice has no ship and but few supplies. He depends almost entirely upon hIS gun for his living. Ste fansson, his former chief, who is noted among explorers as being able to live off the barren white lands of the north, probably taught Noice how to get about without carrying many supplies.
 Noice's parents live in Seattle The explorer is young in years, having gra duated from a high school here a aiC CrI Ja n in 1912 with Captain Louis Lane on the schooner Polar Bear. When Ste fansson purchased the Polar Bear from Lane, Noice shipped as a mem- Der of the crew. Later, when Ste fansson decided to return to the out side world, Noice left the party and remained in the North. His parents expect him to return to Seattle next year.

The Framing ham Experiment..

I have the honor to be a member of the Committee in charge of the Birmingham experiment of which the director, pr. Armstrong, has told you. Nobody can have greater ad- miration for Dr. Armstrong and the things he has accomplished than I have. One sure result of tke Tram ingham experiment will be the irn- proving of living condition an Tram ingham and in every community that will copy Framing gham's intensive health campaign. That result will mean the saving of many lives and the preventing of wastage of time and
 money That result will mean the Birmingham experiment will have been well worth while. But, if that result be the only result. 1t will be
 to me, as the English say, mot good
 enough. I am of the opinion, that such a result ought not to satisfy us in our fight with the flaming world
 wide diease, tuberculosis We must aim to stamp out the disease every
 where and for all time. Stamp it
 out as yellow fever has been stamped
 out, or learn to control it as we have
 learned to control smallpox. To do
 this we need new knowledge. This
 new knowledge we can get only by
 research Until now research, par ticularly medical research, and more particularly tuberculosis research, has not had a strong appeal for young American doctors. Nevertheless, it it here in New England, the home of the Yankee, that many of the most important inventions and discoveries of modern times have been made Why not get ready here today to

RENEWAL Of BUYING
MOVEMENT IN STREET

New York. April 15.-More of the
public realized today that the victory
BOND Is not going to be a handicap to
general business and the result was re-
newal OF the buying movement in Wall
street. In a very active market many
new high records were made. first in
one class of securities and then in
another. The oils. the Marines and
other specialties had their turns. The
turnover amounted to more than 1.400,-
600 shares. On the outside market
there was also great buoyancy with a
big tvolume of business.
Not only did the public buy. but the
grouches Of Wall street are waking up
to the fact that the war liz over and
that this is America. the land of oppor-
tunity and the only solvent first-class
nation in the world. They have discov-
cred that stocks once brought stay

fcult to shake out the public. Every
attempt results In the building up Of a
short interest.

credits in America and are able to buy

TO nandle tnefr purchases. JUST now
they are buying only electrical ma
chinery so that Westinghouse and Gen

But, the buying will in time extend to
other lines. Other nations will come
into the market. This foreign demand
liz behind the remarkable campaign in
the shipping shares.
Great excitement prevailed in all
shipping shares. The American Inter
national was quiet in the morning but
when Marine, Atlantic Gulf and West
Indies; United Fruit and finally Pacific
Mail scared in the afternoon to new
high records the parent shares moved
up. As to exactly what is doing in
these shares 1t seems to be anybodys
guess. General expectation is that n

of the companies in question.
