 Tn an old Spanish geographical work on America, first published in 1852 by Franc esco Lopez de Gomara, a priest of Seyilla, it is mentioned that Labra- dor was reached for the first time by Norw ,gian sailors, piloted by John ocolvus. (Jon Skolp). This informa rion vas first made public by the Nor wegian professor of history Gustav Storm in 13S6 But at that time this part of the history of the discoveries was still in its infancy, and isolated at is was then, the information natur- ally had to be used with great eau tion. Later on new material was found pointing in the same direction. One of the sources was a famous globe, dating from 1537 and made by the Dutch physician and mathematician' Comma f'risius, who points out that North America was reached in 1470 1y Johannes Scolvus.
 Johannes Scolvus is name un- known in Norwegian history. Dr. Lar sen connects it with the Norwegian surname Skolp, which means man from the shores or fishing places of northern Norway. His deed became famous ill hls own times, but on ac- count of various conditions not trac- cable now, it was yelled in obscurity and forgotten. The account of his voy- -..ge undoubtedly has been of signifi- tauce to other expeditions, Norwegian IS well as English and Portuguese. Dr. r'ridtjof Nansen in one of his scientiit- ic works has proved that even 100 years later English explorers were familiar with the expedition of Johan- nes Skolp, namely when preparing for Martin frobisher's travel to Green .and in 1876.

Qllsss,,l; !, !; VGaiiA
 fAC;iS WORTH KNOWING
TEACHERS SCARCE

The teacher shortage remains a menace to the public schools according; to preliminary reports made public to- day by the National Education Assoc iation. Replies to QuestionnaireS sent out by the Association have come from all sections of the United States. These reports show that in places where teachers salaries have been in creased one hundred per cent or more the situation is nearly always Satis- factory. But such places are compar~ atively few, and in localities where salaries have been increased fifty per cent or less the teacher shortage Is commonly greater than year ago. Rural communities are hardest hit. Signed reports from superintendentS of many counties indicate that third of their rural schools cannot open for want of teachers. Tens of thousands of schools will be in charge of teachers who have had no professional training and whose acadamic preparation bare ly exceeds that of the children they teach.
 Relief from this situation which imperils the stability of American ru- ral life will be sought from the next session of Congress. Renewed efforts will be made to obtain the passage of the Smith-Towner Bill, which creates a department of education with sec retarv in the Presidents cabinet and provides federal aid of S10O,OOO,OoO for education.
 The situation in Alaska is not so serious as in the nation at large. There is but one school which is closed for lack of a teacher. Transportation diff faculties rather than inability to se- cure a competent teacher is the oc- casion for this, however. The salaries of teachers in Alaska have been raised from fifteen to fifty per cent during .he past two years, salaries paid in the Territory now being no higher than in the average town in the northern ol western states.

WASHINGTON, Oct., 2G-. Ho'

WASHINGTON, Oct, %. How many persons discovered America be- fore Christopher Columbus?
 The latest addition to the line of claimants is Jon Skolp, Norwegian explorer. Sofus Larsen, a Danish scientist who has recently made a re- port founded on researches of.archiveS of the middle ages, has completed 3 work which he says proves that Skoip the Norwegian, "rediscovered Amer ica" in 1476, 16 years ahead of Colum- bus and twenty years before John Ca bot reached the Strait of Hudson.
 Larsen uses the term "rediscovered" considering that the original discover CT was Leiv Erickson the Norseman in the year 1000. Larsen's researches de- velop, he says, that about 1475 tas King of Portugal sent message to the King ci Denmark and Norway Christian ], requesting him to fit out an expedition and attempt find sea passage As,a- in reality a North west passage An old document to t.'a' effect was found in the Danish state archives. The expedition was headed by the Norwegian-German privateer, captain Didrik Pining and piloted by the Norwegian pilot Jon Skolp, tQ whom credit is given for having reach ed as fan. as Labrador and found part of the actual entrance to the North west passage.

1 LIBERTY LOAN REFUNDING
 WILL BE NECESSARY

Rcfunding of the Liberty Loan at maturity will probably be necessary, a.cardlng to the .NGtlonal Bank O. Ivru .nerce in New York. In the cur r,nt issue of it's magazine, Commerce Monthly, the bank points out that this i. indicated by the relatively early period within which the bulk of our. puolic dcgt falls due, together with the demand for tax reduction and the ,'s.,. l,,,ney as to payment ol the ad- vancrs made to the allied, govern mcntS.
 "The policy which has been follow ed in American war loan financing it will make necessary large refunding operations" the bank states. "From the Treasury point of view this may have it's advantages, for it may be pos sible to issue some of the refundlng loans at lower interest rates. In so far d. lower rates can be secured the pol icy will have justified itself. In any event the factory control over debt pay,neu! during that period"
 ln discus sing the relation of taxa ;;un 10 drbt reduction, the bank says: 1t should be observed that the marked trend of American fiscal pol icy toward direct forms of taxation within the past decade reduced the probability of rapid debt payment. Ali ter the Civil War, while high tariff was incidcntly piling up huge surplus es were endured; now that he burden in the main direct, it can hardly be eX- pected that collection of revenue be- yond the ordinary needs of govern ment will go unchallenged, or that the payment of a debt which can be pos poned will be generally regarded as one of the ordinary needs of govern ment."
