When the overalls movement started

the Portuguese language, were per
picked. The literal translation would
be "sobretudo," but as this means over
coat in Portuguese. II would not serve,
The translators finally decided on
"roupa de operario." which in English
Is "workmen's clothes"
At present, however. since photo
graphs have arrived from North Amer
lea and the movement has been started
here, no further effort is made at
translation The simple English word
"overalls" has been adopted by the
newspapers and public alike.
The movement is gathering momen-
tum in Rio de Janeiro and vicinity.
Agitation started by newspapers has
been taken up by students who in a

WINNIPEG, Man, July 90. (By In

region, according to a unique theory
tentatively advanced by Vilhjalmur Ste
tansson, noted explorer Is the original
nome of the blue grass that has made
Kentucky famous and the blue grass
region Of the Southern commonwealth
may have evolved from seed first
cropped from an iceberg drifting down
from the North in the glacial epoch.
Mr.. Stefansson. while on a visit to
his mother In Winnipeg, depIored the
general ignorance regarding the Far
North and said school Biographies and
textbooks which gave children false
ideas of the region should be re-writ-
ten.
There are $40 species of Towering
plants in Arctic Canada" said Mr.. Ste
fansson, and three times as many non
Towering species. The land, that is
popularity supposed to be a frozen des-
ert, is in summer one great flower
garden gorgeous with goldenrod, pop
pies, bluebells dandelions watercress,
timothy and blue grass as deep and
lush as that in the thoroughbred pas
lures of Kentucky If one were in
clined to speculate one might conjec-
ture that Kentucky received it's blue
grass from these Arctic meadows mil
lions of years ago in the Age of Ice.
Mr.. Stefansson recently returned from
England, where he raised funds to fl
nance an immense reindeer farm which
he proposes to establish on the shores
of Hudson bay, He said the wild lands
of the Far North can support SO, 900, 900
reindeer and 10000 muskox, which
would form one of the worlds great
