CLAIMS WRANGEL ISLAND.
Canada Plans to Occupy Land De-
spite American Priority.

OTTAWA, Ont, May 13.-The Cana
dian government maintains that
Wrangel Island is part of Canada's
territory, the Canadian flag now flies
over the island and an expedition
is being prepared to 50 up there. This
was the declaration of the prime
minister. W. L. Mckenzie King. when
the commons last night voted $4,000
for patrol of the northern waters of
Canada.
G. p. Graham, minister of defense.
said the amount was needed to pub
lish the report of the Stefansson eX-
pedition. Hugh Guthrie, former min
lister of militia. said there was no
doubt that the United States would
make claim to the island on the
grounds of previous discovery.

Col. Sheriff. Tells of Beach, Picnic

Washington is to have a beautiful

tendent of public buildings and
grounds, that will surpass in every
particular the famous Belle Isle of
Detroit and other island parks
adjacent to large cities.
Announcement to this effect was
made today, and at the same time it
was made known that Columbia
Island, in the Potomac river just
above the Highway bridge and i'm
mediately below Analostan Island,
has been selected as the island play

for the future development OF this
beautiful strip of land lying between
the shores Of Virginia and the Dis

treatment of the island to permit its

With the appropriation now pending

The first thing Col. Sheriff. will do

Col Sheriff. believes the public will

$50 acres, part wooded. Its shores

the sand being of a quality that will
make bathing more enjoyable than that
now afforded at the Tidal Basin.
There are numerous knolls with
spreading shade trees towering over
them, making ideal picnic spots. with
cool shades and strong river breezes.
Another feature will be the estab-
lishment of a government free ferry.
The ride on the river will in itself
attract many persons. according to Col.
Sheriff..
Columbia island, which is not so
well known to Washinstonians as is
Analostan island, has in recent years
been reclaimed, as it were. by long
process of dredging. Its development
has been similar to that which created
the capitals now famous Potomac Park.
The island can be looked upon as con-
tinuation Of Potomac Park.

RIGHT TO SEAT
GIVEN Ne WBERRY
\ BY The SENATE
LONG BATTLE FOR PLACE TO
WHICH PEOPLE ELECTED
HIM IS ENDED.
Senate Voted TO
Seat Him 46 TO II

After more than two and nc-half
years the case against Truman II.
Newbcrry is at an end, and he has
maintained his right TO his seat in
the United States Senate to which he
was duly elected by the people Of the
State Of Michigan, and the Senate
which is the sole judge Of the quail
fications Of it's members, has ruled by
a vote Of 4G to 4 that he is entitled
to his place.
After maintaining silence over
the two and half year period, in
court and in senatorial investigations
on the advise Of his attorneys, he took
the floor OF the Senate last week
and in a masterful address turned the
Senate tide Of votes in his favor.
Thus Newbcrry has run the gaunt-
let OF partisan politics from wild ru-
nor at the time of the primaries when
ne beat Henry Ford, through the elec-
tion when he again defeated him, and
through the United States Senate, and
also through the high courts Of the
land, making his vindication as COM
plete as could he asked. 1t also
shows clearly that the people of Mich
igan did not sell votes and comes az
vindication of their integrity.
The resolution passed by the Senate
is clearly indicative Of the belief that
Newberry had no knowledge of the
sums Of money that were spent in his
behalf in war time to .acquaint the
people Of the state with the man who

PROFITS SHOWN
To Be SMALL
DEP PARTMENT STORES SHOW
SMALL PROFIT FOR PAST
YEAR Is FINDING.

That the past year has been any
thing but an easy year for retail
dealers is shown from figures ar
rived at by the Business Research Bu-
reau of Harvard University, which
shows that the average profit made
by 305 department stores during the
year 1920, was Is per cent. The fig
ure is arrived at by a study and COM
pilation of detailed profit and loss
statements obtained from the stores
in question.
The sos stores are located in 80
states, in Canada and one in Hawaii.
The d. w. Robinson store of this city
was one Of those reporting. The ag-
gregate sales of the stores amounted
to $535, 10000, and the net sales Of
the individual firms ranged from
$7l 900 to 500 100000.
In viewing this small profit it
might be well to call attention to the
fact that 1920 was one of the years
in which retailers were said to be
obtaining exorbitant prices for their
goods.
The Harvard Bureau of Business
Research has, in this work evidently
shown that reports of exorbtant pro-
fits come from a lack of knowledge
and understanding as to the expense
that is involved in conducting a pro-
gressve department store, or for that
matter any progressive business es-
tablishment.
Of the 305 stores reporting the
average expense of the stores was
25.9 per cent of the net sales. The
gross profit was 27.8 per cent show
ing that the net profit was l.S per
cent.

LAW PROVIDES
For No FUNDS


Careful investigation Of rumors
that the Gratiot County Board of
Supervisors had refused to provide
funds for the burial of indigents Of
the county when relatives wanted
them buried instead of being sent to
medical schools, shows that the Board
acted in the matter under Act 142
Public Acts of Michigan Of 1909, Ar
ticle 7751, which says that the body
shall be delivered to an undertaken
within 80 hours and that the under
taker shall send the body to the Uni
versity Medical School, the Detroit
College of Medicine or to the Home
opathic School of Medicine in De-
troit. 1t also provides that the rela-
tives of such indigents have the right
to claim the body and that it shall
,hcn be turned over 10 them.
The law contains no provision for
the payment of funeral expenses by
the county Neither does it contain
anything against the county paying
such funeral expenses.
The Record believes that the law
is very proper in saying that such
bodies shall not be sent to the pick
ling vats' against the wishes of the
relatives. 1t also must feel that
there are instances when it would be
a reflection on the county TO send
body to such a place, and not to give
it a decen. burial. That person
happens to be poor should not ne
cessitate his being sent to pick
ling vat" and not given decent burial.
Many a person in various parts Of
the country, once of wealth and Of
great influence for good in his COM
munity, has died in poor house.
That a person who has gone through
this world leaving a good Influence
behind him deserves something bet
ter than picking vat" can hardly
be questioned.
The Record is confident that the
supervisors of the county did what
they believed right, feeling that the
law did not give them power to fur
nish funds for such burials. There
seems, however, to be strong opin-
/ ion that even under this law provi-
sion could be made for the burial cx-
pcnses of such indigents. 1t is un-
derstood that the numbA of indi-
gents az the county farm rarely ex-
ceeds eight in a single year. Others
in various parts of the county would
swell this total slightly in all prob
ability. About $4,000, it is under
stood, would be sufficient to provide
for the burial each year of the in
digents at the county farm, and the
cost of burial expense for all of the
county's indigents probably would
not in any year during the near flu
! ture at least, exceed $1,000.

"Peace Dollar"
In Circulation

The new silver dollar, the "peace
dollar" has just been placed in cir
culation, several hundred thousand
having been shipped to the Federal
Reserve banks by the federal mint at
Philadelphia. The new coin was
made in commemoration of the Arms
Conference at Washington. 1t is de-
signed with the head of Liberty on
one side and on the other dove up
on a mountain top, clutching an olive
branch, struck by the rays of the
sun, with the word peace" beneath
it. This is the first time the silver
dollar has been changed since 1878.
The coinage laws forbid any change
in the design more often than once
in 25 years except by special legis-
lation. There will be lS0,0000O0 of
the new coins issued, one-half of
which will be dated 1921. The first
dollar was sent by special messenger
to President Harding.
