THE REFEREE
tBy Albert Applet

EO1SOnS
Poison gases, thrown off by thou
sands of autos, are the chief cause of
city dwellers' headaches, irritability,
nervousness, frequent nausea and
that "all in" feeling. This Is the be-
lief of Bundesen, health commits
sloner of Chicago.
Sounds possible. You know that a
man is apt to be asphyxiated if he
runs his auto engine in the garage
while the doors are closed.
Fresh air and plenty of it, to re-
cuperate US at night, Is the only real
antidote. Gradually our bodies will
adapt themselves to auto exhaust
and other city poisons-develop the
necessary power of resistance.
Mystery
A keeper in the Bronx zoo, New
York, picks up an electric eel and
gets such a shock that it makes his
arm black and blue. Scientists are
stumped when you ask them to ex-
plain fully just how the electric eel
generates its current. Another baf-
fling mystery is the fretiy's light,
In a general way science learns
what but not why, Education is the
process of increasing our compre,
hension of the awful extent of what
we do not know. 1t merely enlarges
our realization of our ignorance.
Electric
Itll be the end of 1924 before half
of the 22 million homes in our coun-
try will be lighted by electricity. Use
of electricity in residences is increas-
ing at the rate of a million con-
sumers a year.
With more than half of our homes
not using the great marvel elec-
tricity, we realize that our state OF
civilization still is crude. But we're
progressing at least ten times as fast
as In any previous century, Man l;
barely started on his endless road.

meal, made from a bean found IN
India. This is put on the ground

are inhaled by the worms, and these
bring them to the surface,

RUSSIAN FUR TRADERS DEALT SMASHING BLOW
 BY SOVIET OFFICIALS

the government of the United States Mr. Liebes was informed in as much. as the United States has recognized no government in Siberia no Ameri- can can obtain any protection from
 his governmet and if persisting in
 trading, must do so at his his own
 risk.
 It is reported that the Iskum.
 owned by the Phoenix Trading Co.
 one of the four boats detained by
 the Soviet for alleged violation of trading laws, had paid visit at St. Lawrence Island. The 1skum was permitted by Governor karieff to proceed to St. Lawrence Island for the purpose of delivering important
 mail to be sent to the States. The men aboard the Iskum had given their word of honor to return to Siberia after delivery of the letter and there await trial of their case.
 Two Soviet guards were aboard to see that the, vessel would return to Siberia.
 The Arctic will remain in Nome several days, undergoing some re-
 pairs and taking aboard supplies
 From Nome the Arctic will proceed to Kotzebue Sound, Wainwright and
 other northern stations belortsing
 to the Liebes Co. MT. Ezekiel, as sistant secretary of the Liebes Com many arrived on the Victoria and
 will. accompany the Arctic on her northern trip. MT. Harry Rliey
 will also go north on the Arctic in the capacity of auditor and will spend several years checking the accounts of the various Liebes sta- tions. Mrs. Riley will accompany her husband.
 Mir Liebes is no stranger Tn Nome
 or northern Alaska having paid Nome two other visits in years past. MT. Liebes comes to Alaska for the
 purpose of looking over the trading
 field and it's future possibilities. The Liebes Company is one of the larg- est trading companies doing busi- ness in Alaska and intends to ex-
 tend it's activities if conditions justi-
 fy.
 On this trip north the Arctic will extend her visit into the Coronation Bay district, the most northerly point ever reached by this company. Mir. Jake Kristan has sold his busi-
 ness at Hollywood and is aboard
 the Arctic in the capacity as inter
 preter and fur buyer for the Liebes Company.
 The schooner Arctic, Captain John Bertoneini, is four masted schooner, carrying $50 HIP. Diesel engine and has but recently been acquired by the H. Liebes Co. for
 it's Alaskan and Siberian business.
 Her arrival in Nome June 18th was
 her first appearance here under the
 new ownership. A powerful radio
 set is aboard and enables the ship to constantly keep in touch with sta
 tions in Alaska and the Aleutian
 Islands.

The Fur Trading schooner Arctic. Liebes Fur Company of San Fran cisco owners, arrived in Nome June 18th at 10:15 a. m. with A. Liebes. vice President of the Liebes Com pany and Jake Kristan the well known former Nome Merchant aboard.
 The Arctic left San Francisco on May 18th on her annual trading cruise to Siberia and northern Alas kan points, the ship was able to proceed as far as East Cape and Whalen along the Siberian coast but did not transact any business due to the fact that the present political situation made the attempt too haz- ardous.
 Upon arrival at Whalen a repre- sentative of the Governor, Theodore karieff. came aboard and was asked about conditions of trading in that district, after MT. Liebes had ex- plained his intentions the represent tative immediately returned to his superior on shore. The Governor then ordered his representative to return aboard the Arctic, requesting that Mir. Liebes come ashore and visit the Governor at his house. MT. Iiebes found 1t inconvient 10 comply with the request and dele gated his representative MT. Jake Kristan to pay the Governor visit. Upon interviewing the governor MT. Kristan was advised that it would be necessary to obtain an official permit from the Soviet representa- tive at Petropavlovsk before the Arctic would be permitted to pursue trading in Siberia.
 MT. Lebes was advised by the Governor that the Russian gun boat Tomsk was enroute to Northern Si- berian points with high Soviet ottic- ials aboard, their mission being to acquaint the people of northern Si- beria with the newly formed Govern ment which will rapidly bring order out of the present chaotic condi- tions. The arrival of this boat will bring the rules, regulations and working conditions with which all traders must conform in the future or refrain from any attempts to pur- sue further trading. Mir. Liebes was also advised to refrain from any trading activities until the ar rival of the Tomsk. The Governor throughout his interviews assumed a most friendly and courteous atti- tude toward the Americans and seemed willing to do all within hin power to assist them. but being un- der orders from his superiors he must wait until the arrival of the Tomsk before permitting the trad CTS any right to proceed.
 Governor Theodore Karieff stated that he had received orders to de- tain any vessel carrying cargos of furs obtained in Siberia and hold them until the arrival of the officials aboard the Tomsk. As the Arctic had done no trading in Siberian waters they consequently were not detained and sailed for Nome.
 According to MT. Liebes a tax has been levied on white fox skins amounting to five gold rubles. an equivalent of $2.50 in American money. Even after the payment of this tax no skins were permitted to be taken from the country before an ofiicial permit had been obtained from Petropavlovsk.
 After leaving Siberia for Nome Mir. Liebes interviewed Commander Cochrane of the Cutter Bear at St. Lawrence Island and informed him of what had happened while in Si- beria and asked Commander Coch- ran what protection or assistance an American trader could expect from
