ARCTIC WEATHER REPORTS
Amundsen to Wireless Records from the
Far North


When Captain Ronald Amundsen goes
into the Arctic this summer with his ship
Maud on another scientific expedition
he will send out daily weather reports
by wireless During the first part of his
proposed trip from Bering Strait across
to Greenland these, flashes of polar
weather news will be caught by the
nited States wireless station at Nome,
Alaska. and forwarded to the weather
bureau of the United States department
IF agriculture at Washington As the
Maud makes her way down the other
side of the world her messages viii be
received by the Norwegian wireless sta
tion at SpitZbergen.
The Norwegian government has sug
gested that it would be desirable that
weather reports of such scientific value
be continuously at the disposal Of all
countries on both the European and
American continents, and proposes that
an exchange of this information be ar
ranged the message received during the
first part of the expedition to be sent
out by the United States and those re
ceiyed later to be sent out by Norway.
At present weather messages are ex-
among European countries, and
European reports are received by the
United States MeteorologiSts Of the
different countries think il desirable that
Europe the North Atlantic and North
America be included in a single mereoro-
logical province 1t is believed that
such am arrangement would greatly inn
prove the weather forecasts in all par
ticipating countries.
Preliminary arrangements have been
made for the United States department
of agriculture TO receive Captain Amund
sens weather reports, and the further
for transmitting reports t.
Europe have been taken up by the gov
eminent authorities. aa

BUTTS, STUBS, HEELS AND FIRE

We will leave it to the wife and
mother to discuss stagnant smoke and
the morality of smoking.
The right to smoke may be an in
dividual matter; but what the smoker
does with the lighted match, cigaret
butt, cigar stub or yipe heel, is Of
vital concern to the public
Each day Americans smoke 5000
miles of cigarets, and carelessly tos
sed butts burn $11,00O00 worth Of
property each month.
The cigaret is the most dangerous
of all smoking materials. It burns
until consumed; hence every cast-off
butt becomes a menace and a potential
fire cause.
Smokers and match users caused
fire loss of S91 ,0O0,0 100000 in the Unit
ed States during the fve-year period
of 1915 to 1919.
Careless smokers and users Of mat
ches caused fire loss of $479,570 in
Wisconsin in 1920.
This waste of property affects us
all, and the public may we'll protest
against that part of the smoking hab-
it which jeopardizes life and prop
erty. No censure is too severe Of the
thoughtless smoker who carelessly
losses lighted matches, cigar or Gig
