L TOOK notes Whlle we were at Epa,
New Guinea, of a rather curious
method of drawing water from the
communal spring, half mile from
the village, writes Reginald Pound.
Twice a day the women went down
in chattering groups to the spring,
carrying bamboo pipes 12 feet long.
These pipes were made by forcing
out the pith at the joints. and held
about five gallons of water apiece.
When full the drinking end was
plugged with leaves, the pipe being
stood in a shady spot near it's own
er's house and used when needed.
incidentally. drinking from these
weird receptacles was rather
hazardous business, care being nee
essary lest a two copious supply
should gush out when the pipe was
held to the mouth.-World Wide

Glaciers Salute To Harding

The only order ito fire" ever given
by President Harding, as Command
erin Chief Of the Army and Navy,
was directed against the glitterlng
wall of the famous Childs Glacier
, near Cordova, Alaska.
The crack of a rifle in response 10
that order was followed by a sue
cession of thunderous crashes as
! thousands of tons of ice toppled into
| the Copper River.
An interesting picture of this dra-
matte incident during the late Presi-
dents visit to Alaska is given in
McClures Magazine by Joe Mitchell
l,happle.
Childs Glacier is solid cliff of ice.
two hundred feet high, following the
shore of the Copper River fifteen miles
md extending back several mites be-,
tween the mountain peaks, The
glaciers motion is comparatively
rapid, and at frequent intervals it
throws off into the stream huge
pieces of ice weighing tons. They
fall with a noise like the crash of
guns in a heavy artillery barrage and
hurl water up to the height of twen-
ty to fifty feet. Even the shrek of
locomotive whistle sometimes will
start glacier ice moving.
The glacier battery had ceased,
when President Harding called to
me of his Secret Service men, named
Ferguson.
"Fergy," he said. "fire! See If YOU
can hit that glacier wall.a
Ferguson fired.
"Whether it was that shot that
caused the> barrage. of twenty-one
guns or twenty one glacier crashes,
we do not know" writes Mr.. Chapple,
but Presidents salute of twenty
one explosions followed in quick
succession, as glistening tons OF ice
slid down the bank at different
places into the river"
According to the number of
licenses issued by the Department
of Commerce. there were 544 class
