GRADUAL

New England would be benefited more
or less, the advent of spring being
measurably speeded up and the cold
season modified for the better.
This Canadian project is scarcely
more than a nibble into the problem
of achieving radical benefits though
the baking of the present flow OF
the Labrador Current. Seven years
ago an American mechanical engineer,
Carroll Livingston Riker of New York
city, who has done notable things in
the realm Of hydraulic engineering,
boldly proposed the building of a
giant jetty projecting to the south
and east from Cape Race directly
across the main path of the south
bound Labrador Current. In laying his
scheme before Congress a year later
Mr.. Riker claimed that he could &C
complish this amazing result at an
expenditure of $20,000,000! He pur-
posed effecting this by drawing upon
the forces of nature in such a way as
to induce both the Gulf Stream and
the Labrador Current-especially the
latter-to rear a great sandy bulwark
right athwart its own present sweep
While this sounds somewhat chimer-
ical, still there is much more Of the
practicable in the proposal than may
be apparent at first. The reasonable
ness of Mr.. Riker's assumption be-
comes clearer IL we pause to analyze
the probable circumstances that have
led to the gradual creation OF the
Grand Bank-that monster plateau OF
sand which rises from the bed of the
Atlantic Ocean 1000 feet down. until
| its widespread and nearly level cres'
lies on an average only something
, like $50 feet below the surface OF the

1t is into the Strait of Belle Isle that
the Labrador Current so frequently
drives great masses of field ice and
towering bergs to menace navigation

when the glacial Northland releases
these perils to shipping. At other
times, the Labrador Current surges

weeks vegetations response to the
rays OF the northing sun. According
10 our photographic experts, describ-
Ing the drift of ice and bergs in the
grip Of the Labrador Current:
BY the middle of January the
shores OF Newfoundland and Gulf of
b. Lawrence are full of ice which
has been frozen there, and are opened

Lawrence is closed about the middle
November and does not open until

AFTER this date much ice is found In

Plainly, the arctic flood that enters

the Strait OF Belle Isle is one potent

Harlem's Public Forum

THE four corners at West 125th
street and Seventh avenue have
become as famous for public
meetings as the Common in Boston
and noted spots in other large cities,
In the summer season meetings are
hold there nightly at which hundreds
OF interested citizens are attentive
listeners.
The northwest corner is used almost
exclusively by the Home for Friendless
Boys, of which Harry Clinton Eva is
the leader. This philanthropic worker
has been doing work for this institu
ton at this corner for the past nine
teen years. Large crowds listen and
the financial help derived from the
collections has been substantial.
At the northeast corner the Social
lists and Single Tax advocates hold
forth. Some of these meetings at times
/ have been stormy. Sometimes when
the hecklers came along to bait the
| speakers arrests were made. For the
last few weeks the friends OF tho irish
| Republic have used the corner when
the Socialists have not held their meet-
ings. The crowds at times have been
so large that it has been necessary
for tho police to clear the avenue and
the sidewalk so pedestrians could
rqss. On the warm summer nights
small groups OF Socialists remain for
hours after the sRSSIoars have Sone.
discussing their views.
The southeast corner is used mostly
by the Salvation Army. These gatneS-
ings always are attended by many
hundreds of religious workers. Many
a poor unfortunate has been gathered
into the fold by the army scouts who
pass through the crowd looking for
men who want to reform and lead
better life.
| on the remaining corner, now that tho
campaign approaches, political speakers
hold forth nightly. One night will be
devoted to Democratic haranguers and
the next night the Republicans will be
heard. When all four. corners are oc-
cupied at once with meetings the scene

trustees of the estate of William
ZiegIer, had decided to dispose at auc-
ton the remainder of the vacant hold

burban developments in which he took
personal interest in their upbuldlng.
Since his death, however, these various
Developments have been more or less
in q dormant state. Now that they
