Floating Along With Berg
Is Most Dangerous Duty

Keeping an iceberg company for days at
a time to discover its habits and direction
is perhaps one of the most hazardous jobs
of the entire Coast Guard Service, officials
say. This is especially true in the south
ern part of the ice territories, because
here fog is nearly always to be found.
Crews of the accompanying cutters shadow
ing an iceberg in a fog never know at
what moment they >may crash, although
every possible precaution is taken. The
ships speed is checked, as always in
fog. But the iceberg has no whistle to
give warning and at times II cannot be
seen even when close at hand. Occasion
ally the whistle of the cutter may echo
against the berg and this helps in keeping
the dangerous companion at a distance.
In addition to hunting icebergs the cut
ters search for derelicts and give as
sistance to ships in distress Sailing YES
sells seem most likely to get into trouble
in the ice district. Many are wrecked.
Many rescues of crews from sinking ships
are effected by the cutters of the ice
patrol, often at risk of life.
Steaming through the storm swept
waters. the cutters, small but powerful
craft, often have to weather storms that
bring CONSERVATION to even the great
transatlantic liners passing through the
sea lanes further south, made safe by the
work Of the patrol. The big seas tumble
over the little cutters Of the patrol,
snatching at rigging, deck houses, boats
tackle and members OF the crew who
sometimes have been washed overheard
into the swirling. ice filled waters
Three months in the most bitter, dan
gerous sea in the world is the assignment
that the crews OF two OF the Coast Guard
cutters face in the spring of each year
The Grand Banks is a locality noted
throughout the world for its bitter weather
and its storms. Yet the men of the Coast
Guard Service take their assignments TO
the ice patrol as a matter Of course. Some
OF them may not return from the cruise
although the loss OF life in the patrol has
been comparatively small. And all of
them know that three months of the bit.
terest service possible is ahead when the
ice patrol assignment comes. But they
take the hazards with utmost good nature
and come to port smiling when the task
is done.
For one more year the paths OF the
transatlantic liners have been made free
of one danger at least--the deadly ice field,
which looks so gorgeous from the steam
ships deck.

war the collection of this data has been
going on each year since 1912.
The Coast Guard cutter crews have re-
duced to an exact science the methods of
locating and plotting berg. So far this
year nearly 100 have been located and de-

years crop presents as majestic an appear
ance as that OF any other year.
When an iceberg is sighted the scientist
on the cutter puts overheard his instru'
ments and takes the temperature and salt
ness of the water. Then the ship stands
by the berg as near as is safe. Some
times IL is possible TO land men on the
foe to examine It. Often seals. gulls and
other animal and bird life have been found

tion of the berg, the cutter officials plot
the location on the map and make up
bulletin to send out by wireless to warn
steamships. Then they keep the berg com
pany, perhaps for days, until they ascer-
tain the speed of its drift. Some bergs
drift at the rate of mile an hour. Others
move only six miles day. The drift de-
pends on the current.
The Labrador current sweeps the be"gs
out of the north into the region of the
Grand Banks. Sometimes this current also
sweeps them to the west and north again,
taking them out of the path of steamships
At other times the bergs encounter the
warm waters of the Gulf Stream and move
southwark slowly, melting and disappear
ing.
The temperature of the water about the
berg and the degree of salt contained in
it enables the Coast Guard men to deter
mine from what part of the north the big
foe came. In some cases 1t is necessary
to drag the ocean near the berg to study
the biological specimens in the water.
Curious fishes and sea creatures are often
disclosed by these drags. The fish in the
water about the berg usually move with
it. This is another method of determining
the origin Of the foe.

Guard Service. The service took up the
task and the number of ships that have
struck icebergs since that time is small.
Each day at a given hour the patrol
vessels send out general wireless call to
all steamships, stating the position of all
bergs and giving other information as to
fogs and elements that might endanger
the big liners crashing through the seas
at twenty knots an hour. Although pa
trolling for bergs and Ice foes is a task
attended by extreme danger, lonesomeDess
and general disagreeableness, the Coast
Guardsmen, who are assigned to 1t always
inject something of their good nature and
cheerfulness into their daily radio mes
sages to the headquarters of the service
here.
This year the work of the ice patrol has
been more difficult than ever. For some
unexplained reason the big bergs have
swept farther south than in any year since
1914. Many bergs have been reported
nearly as far south as latitude 40 degrees
north. This means the. bergs came more
than half the distance between the North
Pole and the equator 1t was in latitude
Al degrees. 46 minutes north and longi-

In ordinary years few of the bigger bergs
float as far south as the forty-irst parallel
But this year the bergs swung through The
seas for nearly 600 miles below Cape Race,

when the last big berg is found charted
and watched until it melts or otherwise

source. The crews of the ice patrol are
confident the last berg will be located

the Grand Banks. And when that radio

their 1921 battle with the ice foes will be
but a memory. Next year other crews

Coast Guard crews enact each spring TO
prevent recurrence of the Titanic dis

The death of hundreds when the Titanic
on April IA. 1912, crashed into an iceberg
was the beginning of the international Ice
Patrol, which is international only in the
respect that its cost is betrayed by England,
France and other maritime nations in con-
junction with the United States. The
Titanic catastrophe brought the world 20
a realization that the icebergs and ice
fields which each year sweep down into
the transatlantic ocean lanes from Green
land and Labrador must be guarded
against. II was decided, therefore, that
each year during April, May and June
an ice patrol should be maintained on the
Grand Banks to watch for bergs, locate
them and warn steamships. The work

SENATOR HECKLE OP
PONENT OF SALES TAX

The opponents OF the sales tax ana
of the repeal of the excess profits tax
were vigorously he ekled and criticised
bv members of the Senate committee
on finance at a recent hearing. Sena-
tor Penrose. chairman of the commit
tee opened his guns when w NJ. Clark,
vice president of the Order OF Railway
Conductors on behalf of the Transpor-
tation group of the Railway Employees
read a carefully prepared statement
and criticism of the sales tax and
showed why the tax on excess profits
should not be repealed.
Mr.. Clark stated he represented 60O,-
900 members of the four Railway
Brotherhoods and was asked by Chair
man Penrose for his credentials As
Mr.. Clark was completing his state
ment exposing the injustice of the
sales tax, Senator Penrose burst out
denouncing what he called such dem
agogery" and tried to shut off the wit
ness.
When Benjamin c. Marsh appeared
on behalf of the Peoples Reconstruc-
ton league, and the Farmers National
Council. Chairman Penrose called for a
list of the members Of the organiza-
ton, after Mr.. Marsh had informed
him that the two organizations were
special unions or organization, and not
individuals, to carry out their pro-
gram. Senator Smoot joined in the at
tack upon Mr.. Marsh and attempted
to belittle the arguments he present
ed. Later when Mr. Marsh asked SEN
ator Penrose whether the Republican
party intended TO refund the war debt

workers pay most of il as well as the

not deny, however, that this is just

and of the repeal of the excess profits
tax were treated kindly and tender

Mr. Clark asserted that upon inquir-

members are "unalterably opposed to

100000 to 100000 was derived
from property, and nearly 96 per cent
of the income of these in receipt Of
81, 100000 and over, came from prop
trty.
America Mr.. Marsh said, has a
vast source of revenue not yet touch in
the tremendous concentration Of
wealth in few hands.
"In 1918 there were about $4,000 mil
lionaires in the United States. They
own property probably worth to-day
about $4,000, 10000, or nearly ten
times our net national debt. and over
q per cent OF the national wealth. A
heavy Federal estate or transfer tax
would easily yield at least 10000, 600,
600, within the next ten years, and
81, 800 100000, to 3,OO0,O0O0o0 year
for the next few years, and Congress
should promptly enact an estate tax
which win yield this amount.
"The Federal estate tax under the
rates OF ting present revenue law yields
