WILL STAKE ELLESMERE LAND
Exploring Expedition to Arctic
Region Next Summer.

Washington.-The department of in
terror of the Canadian government Is
making plans for the organization of
u scientific expedition into the Arctic
region next summer to explore Elles-
mere land.
A report received states that nomi-
nally Ellesmere Land belongs to Can
ada, but owing to the abundance of
game and whale fishing there. Den
mark has cast longing eye upon 1t
and that Americans also have been
attracted to the new country.
For these reasons, 1t Is declared,
Canada will establish strong Gordon
of mounted police to stop all specula-
ton and exploitation and establish
Canadian ownership in fact as well
as in letter.

Enormous Increase In Berlin Street
Mishaps Shown Since
Before War.

Berlin.-The fact that street acci-
dents : Berlin have increased 600 per
cent since 1913 has led to the sugges-
ton that one Of the causes may be the
apparent effort to put American pep"
into the city's everyday life. One news
paper writer asserts Berliners have be-
come too busy to greet friends In pass
Ing, that the spirit Of hustle Is disturb
ing the general routine, and that the
citizens on the whole are growing
nervous. He deprecates "the attempt
to make Berlin street life look like
Forty-second street and Broadway"
Official reports say most of the acci-
dents are due to speeding automobiles
and careless pedestrians. "who step of
the sidewalks and walk the streets In
every direction without once looking
to see II they are In the way Of We
hicular traffic"
There is no ordinance regulating pc

COASTS OVER loo-FooT CLIFF
Postmaster swears OF Short Cuts
After He ls Dug Out Of Is
Foot Drift.

Pine Brook, N. J.-Postmaster Jo-
seph Liebeskind, Of Pine Brook, N.
j.. took a FAR shorter short cut than
he intended recently and vows that
he'll never take another. The last
few seconds of his short cut over Hook
mountain were the longest he ever
lived through.
He was on his way to visit rela-
tive on the other side of the mountain
and decided to climb over It instead
of following the road around. He
found the summit OF the ridge bare of
snow, however, and glazed with Ice.
Moreover. there was gradually in
creasing slope toward the 1OO-foot
cliff on the far side. /,
Down this slope the postmaster
coasted with increasing speed until he
shot over the edge Of the cliff with
velocity which carried him fifteen or
twenty feet past the brink. This
enabled him to clear heap Of rock
debris ut the foot Of the precipice, and
he landed In fifteen-foot snow drift.
which engulfed him completely.
Wilbur Colyer saw the postmaster's
spectacular dive and went to the drift
with a shovel. After the postmaster
had been dug out and examined by. a
physician he went on to his relatives
BY the road. a..

Small Salaries

conditions, just as manager would
submit them to the head Of large
business concern.
"In this bureau we are endeavoring
to give the public salable article, but
with these handicaps the output Is
produced under unnecessary difficult
ties which mean delay and waste"
The director of the bureau cites the
need for new building to house the
Washington Office and chart printing
plant of the bureau. Quoting from the
report:
"The bureau Is operating in eight
buildings, five larger and three small
er, all but two more or less detached
and connected as far as is feasible by
communicating bridges. Two of the
main buildings were designed and built
for dwellings and one of them was used
for that purpose One of the smaller
buildings was built for and used as a
stable, and another two of the main
buildings were designed and construct
ed for use as hotel and were rented
to the government for the use of this
bureau from 1871 to 1891, when they
were sold to the government to house
part of this bureau.
"As its work centers largely In the
construction and production of nautical
charts and 1t Is therefore manufac-
tory, the bureau operates under a sig.
nal handican I'm huildinoS On littla
suited to its needs. 1t Is a matter OF
economy to provide respectable
building for this service-it Is waste
to continue under existing conditions
The director also points out the need
of more extended current observations
to the lack Of which Is attributed the
loss Of many vessels and lives.

crowded intersections the people cross
the streets at will, taking their chances
with the automobiles, street cars, ON
nibuses, trucks and horse cabs. There
are no traffic policemen In the German
metropolis, but 1t has been decided to
establish such force. Meantime the
security police" are doing this duty.
The bicycle habit is very popular
with all classes, and particularly with
the police. who ride in squad forma-
ton. 1t Is not uncommon to see man

Important to all Women
Readers Of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes yeu nervous, irrita-
BILE and may be respondent; it makes any
one 90.
But hundreds Of women claim that DR..
kilmer's Swamp Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for sample bottle to see what
Swamp Root. the great kidney, liver and
bladder medicine, will do for them. By
enclosing ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y. you may receive sam

Director Jones Tells of Hardships
Of an Employee of the
Geodetic Survey.
TELLS OF ACTUAL CONDITIONS
Ono Technical! Man Forced to Get
Supper Every Night for Self and
Children While Wife Works
to Meet Expenses.

Washington.-One Of the technical
men of the coast and geOdetic survey
has been compelled ON account of low
salaries, to prepare his and his chill
dren's supper each night while his
wife works l. order to meet the needs
of the family, and prepare his and
the children's breakfast and put up
his own lunch, while his wife rests
for the nights work again.
. This instance is sighted by Col. e.
Lester Jones, director of the survey,
In his annual report to the secretary
Of commerce, made public recently, as
pointing to the crying need Of reclas-
sitication of salaries in the government
service, and especially In his bureau,
says the Washington Star.
Calls Salaries "DeplorabIe."
isn't 1t deplorable, and would II be
tolerated anywhere outside of the gov
erLmentT asks the director. There
are many moro such cases. How long
must this go on2" q
Expressing the belief that both the
government and the employees would
be gamers from the early adoption of
higher salaries, Colonel Jones says:
"Under such conditions neither the
government nor the outside employer
can have the services of q vigorous,
wide-awake, self-reliant worker, but
ruust put up with man whose energy
has been partly spent, and continu-
ance Of this practice for certain pc
Rod results invariably In the run
down, over-worked, nervous and irrita-
BILE or detected employee. 1t would be
far more profitable for the government
to pay a higher salary and obtain the
best efforts Of the employees for a
more productive day.
II cannot emphasize too strongly
that unless this fundamental trouble
Is soon corrected disintegration Of
the service will continue, with disas-
trOus results of which the government
and the public will feel the effect for
years to come. The question Is, will
the pledge given some years ago. con-
tinually repeated and as often post
poned with the usual excuses, be kept
now with the men who are the back
bone Of our federal institutions or
will the unredeemed promises continue
to prevail?

That makes you realize the enormous
power of the radio"
Small Sets Cover 100 Miles
Most OF the radio sets sold to pri-
vate individuals possess a guaranteed
range of 100 miles, which is sufficient
to let the owners in on the regular
commercial programs, but which ex-
cludes them from inter-continental
conversation. Fortunately for the dig
nifty of international diplomacy, it re-
quires a couple of hundred foot steel
towers, several thousand feet of cop
per wire and hundred thousand
watts or so of electric energy to talk
to Europe. Amateurs are restricted
to 200 meter wave-lengths or less, and
are under the supervision of a radio
inspector whose business is to see
that they confine their operations to
short distances only. Nevertheless,
when the great transatlantic tests
were made by American, English and
Scotch amateurs on the memora BILE
nails of 26 different Americans, most
as an eyesore and as fire menace, but
of them using homemade equipment,
were distinctly heard in Scotland.
The acquisition of the usual anna
teur radio receiving station is a very
simple matter. You can have one in
stalled in your home for the sum of s35
up to $3.50. depending upon the nature
j of the equipment Of course, there is
always the possibility of unreasonable
opposition from your landlord, who is
apt to look upon the aerial antennae
concert or the 1000 to $4,000 meter
this difficulty is likely to be eliminated
as the landlords themselves become
converts to the radio sport Although
