The local organization OF the

was the presence CT VI. A. Biby, ma
ticnal treasurer and founder of the
hospitals and homes of the order at

over by H. C. Wolfsen, general man

in years from about 2 to somewhere

AS testimony of his popularity
the Juniors presented Mr.. Blby with
flowers, and the grown-up members

present him with a silver tea service.
Both presentations were extras on the

the usual dry stuff that is regularly
heard at such meetings. Biby is an
unusual man who never does things in
an ordinary way.
During the war he was retained bv

while to the local team the work Is
all new, their presentation of it was

Mr.. Biby leaves today for Colo

T. Storkerson who passed six months
adrift on a huge ice floe in the Arc

he expected to report Saturday to
Vilhjalmur Stefanssen, his chief, on
observations made during his unique
cruise.
With IA followers Storkerson set out
with so dogs and eight sledges and in
May, 1918, selected an ice floe on
which he proposed to remain for a
year or more with the object of de-
'termining the currents, If any, in
Beaufort sea, taking soundings and
discovering new land.
Stefansson had intended to accom-
pany the expedition, but at the last
moment was taken ill and was forced
to return to civilization. After drift
ing four months Storkerson was taken
i'll and on October 8, 1918, the party,
then in latitude "a, longitude LAT west,
left the floe started its return to the
American continent and arrived at
Cape Halkett, November Z. From
Cape Halkett they proceeded to Bor-
der Island, where they fell in with
Captain Anderson, from whom they
obtained supplies for the winter of
1919.
Storkerson is inclined to believe, ow-
ing to certain phenomena observed,
that land exists north of the point
reached by his party on the ice floe.
The floe upon which the party en-
barked was seven miles wide and fif-
teen miles in length. Seals, polar

abounded on it, while shrimps and
shell fish appeared to be the chief
food of the seals, according to Stork-

imperative II they are to do that the road from
Pensaco1a to Barrancas and the navy yard be put
IN condition without delay.
The people of this community have been more
than patient in regard to this road, but they have
reached the point where patience il longer a
virtue. This road should be put In shape, and at
once. and the road from Pensacola to the Gull
Beach should be put in such condition to be open
to tourists.
The roads of West Florida are not good as they
might be- but they far better than the roads OF
south Alabama and much travel may be diverted
this way through the interest of the Chamber OF

ship LAUNCHING
AT HOG ISLAND
MAKES RECORDS

Local knights of Columbus, as well
as men of that fraternity elsewhere,
have been interested in the launching
recently at the Hog Island shipyards
of the big Emergency Fleet ship.
Casey" an account of which is
printed in the Philadelphia Public
Ledger, as follows:
The 6,000-ton cargo carrying steam
ship Casey, named in honor of and
by the knights of Columbus, was
launched yesterday at Hog Island, es-
tablishing two more new records dur
ing the process.
When the Casey makes her maiden
trip she will start as the only known
steamship to boast sponsor god
mother and step-godmother. The great
hull also set new mark for launch
ings at Hog Island. From the instant
when the launching crew started to
chop and saw at the supporting tim
bers until the ship was started on her
journey down the creased ways only
ninety eight seconds elapsed.
1t was the record time in getting
away that caused the Casey to have
la step godmother.
Officially the sponsor of the ship
was Miss Miriam Rita Flaherty, the
six year old daughter of James A.
Flaherty, Of 1716 Girard avenue. SUI
preme knight of the Knights of Col
umbus. With a party of five of her
little friends, dressed in white, she
made pretty picture on the launch
ing stand as she stood holding the
bottle of champagne, encased in its
meshed bag of heavy gold cord Lit
tie Miss, Flaherty could not know that
the ship she was to christen was in
the act of setting new speed-get-
away record. She was caught off her
guard. Reaching after the ship until
her parents seized her just in time to
prevent her falling from the platform,
she was not able to strike the Prov
a blow 1usty enough to break the en-
meshed bottle of wine.
Nautical men present tried hard 10
suppress a gasp of disappointment
for according to the superstitions OF
| the mariners, a ship on which the
christening bottle fails to break before
she floats, is doomed to career of
stormy voyages eliminating in ship
wreck. From many of the crowd of
$500 persons present, a sigh of relief
went up as they saw there was
woman on board who might yet save
the day, for not to be christened by
| a woman is as unlucky for ship as
not to have a bottle broken at all.
Only twice in the history Of Hog Is
land. and the Casey was the sixtieth
ship launched there, had woman
been permitted on board with the
Launching crew. Quickly grasping the
situation, Captain J. c. White seized
the silk cord, drove up the bottle, and
handed 1t to the solitary woman pas
fsenger. with equal presence of mind
she broke It over the bow of the vessel
before 1t had struck the water. and
saved the day.

RED CROSS HOME SERVICE

The problems presented to the Home Service
workers of the Red Cross are as numerous and
varied as there causes for human worry. Per-
haps the children sick, the landlords
harsh, employment needed or money is re-
quired to bridge temporary need. 1t may be that
discharged soldiers and sailors helping hand.
Perhaps the family is contented but wants infor-
nation concerning allotments, allowances army
regulations something else. Whatever the prob
lem the Red Cross home service section is willing
to help Meeting these and thousands similar
problems is the home service task.
During the month of February, 1912 the Red Cross
handled $4,000 home service cases." l. e. in
stances where services rendered information
given families.
1t is estimated that home service was extended
to 100000 families. or practically eight
families which had in service.
Money expended in this work is no measure of
the work done. far less of its value While thou
sands of families helped financially the great
est help was in the personal service rendered by
the workers Nevertheless, up to February % 1919
the chapters had S. 100000 this work while
national headquarters expended 81 2O4 73o61 in op-
Grating the civilian relief bureaus in Headquarters
cities through which the home service sections were
organized. the workers trained the work deve1oned
and supervised and many matters attended to that
could not be handled locally.
At the start of home service work the chief ale
ficuty was to provide trained workers The supp1,,
was limited to those chapter workers who could
enter nome and really assist the family without
Undermining self-respect or the ability for self
support, and spare the time for the work To train
new workers. home service Institutes were organized
by the divisions, and courses given through
the chapters In both the institute and the chapter
courses the training consisted of classroom study
and actual field work in home service.
With these trained workers a nucleus home
service sections established within the chap
ters. On February 2s 1919, there were 3.61s sec
lions with 1.1s0 branches, with 900 workers de-
voting ali part OF their time the work.
