September IL Fixed as Day
for Call to Arms.
BY JAMES p. HoRNApAY

Washington.-The plans for an army
mobilization on the 18th of next Sep
tember to demonstrate the peace
strength of the country's military es-
tablishment are taking form. Secre-
tary of War Weeks has approved the
mobilization plan as outlined by the
general staff and so it seems certain
that the program for this demonstra-
ton as originally planned Will be car
rled out.
Orders relating to the details of the
preparations for the mobilization Will
go out shortly to the corps area COM
manders and these commanders Will
communicate the details of the plan
to regular army units within their jur-
isdlction and to o. r. c. commanders,
to state adjutants general, etc. 1t Is
not proposed that the preparations for
this demonstration shall place any
considerable amount of work on the
various units that go to make up the
peace strength of the military estab-
lishment.
1t is explained that all the general
staff here has in mind is that every
organized body of men or women that
would heed an actual call to arms In
case of an emergency shall on the
morning of September - come to at
tention, just as they would In case
there was actual trouble. Under the
revised plan as approved by the secre-
tary of war, hospital units, Red Cross
units, boy scouts organizations, as
well as all men who have attached
themselves to the reserve corps of the
army will be expected to report for
duty on the morning of September -.
Summer Maneuvers.
The September mobilization is not
to take the place of the regular sum
mer maneuvers. In the Fifth corps
area the regulars, the o. r. c. and the
National Guard will follow this sum-
mer practically the same program they
followed in the summer practice drills,
In some of the corps areas the corps
commanders are planning to have the
various military units under them
practice on mobilization in advance
of the September - event. This is n
matter, it is explained here, that Is
entirely in the hands of the corps COM
manders.
General John ]. Pershing has entered
heartily into the spirit that is behind
the September - demonstration. 1t
may turn out, however, that this dem
onstration will not mark his retire
ment from the army, although he is
eligible to retire on that day. Secre-
tary Weeks has notified President
Coolidge that he would like to have
General Pershing remain at the head
of the army while longer. The gen.
eral WILL however, it Is understood,
retire as chief of staff on the day he
becomes eligible for a place on the
retirement list.
Within the next year there will be
some sort of test of the Industrial
mobilization plan that has been worked
out. Here is how the plan would pre-

" TELPING Mother Nature in the
~ interest of mankind has al
/ L ways been one of the beneti,
cent purposes of science, and
nowhere is it better eXemplitied than
in Uncle Sans application of the slo-
gan. Save the babies" to the work OF
artifically propagating the important
food fishes of America.
One of the most important OF the
Great Lakes fishes is the whitefish.
The latest figures published by the
United States bureau of fisheries re-
port an annual catch of more than
625, 100000 of whitefish. From this
it will be seen that il was an economic
necessity to prevent the depletion OF
so important food supply.
Before undertaking its 'nursemaids'
lob the bureau of fisheries made
study of the whiteflsh. The fish live
in deep water most of the time, their
food consisting of small crustaceans,
mollusks and insect larvae. During
the spawning season, which in Lake
Erie begins in the early part OF NO
yember and lasts into December, there
Is a general movement of the fish to
the shadows, where the female Will
deposit from 10000 to 10000 eggs each,
depending on their size and maturity.

1t was the convention of the Ameri-
ran Federation of Arts, and attend
ance included not only painters, sculp-
tors and art patrons, but also that ia
miliar figure who, when certain type
Of superior persons talk about art Is
described by those persons as the

Among the three hundred delegates
from every state in the Union and
from Canada to this session the busi-
ness man was conspicuous, but he was
not tired. And least tired of all those
present was that extremely practical
economist, John NJ. Glenn, secretary of
the Illinois Manufacturers association.
"What are you puttering around
here about art for?" he was asked.
"Oh, I'm converted" said John
Glenn. I'm for art. It's good and
It's practical. The Illinois Manufac-
turers' association has got behind it.

vvTTASHINGTON.-Nearly one
NY ! half of the qualified voters Of
wv the United States habltually
fail to perform their duty as
electors. This surprising disclosure is
made by the researches Of Simon Mi
chelet a Washington lawyer, formerly
Of Minneapolis and for many years
secretary to the late Senator Nelson
Of Minnesota.
The largest vote ever cast for Presl-
dent was in 1920. The total vote for
all Presidential candidates was 20,
1888 This was 100000 more votes
han were cast in 1916 and 100000
more than in 1912. Yet for every 100
votes cast for President in 1920, there
were 90 stay-at-homes or absentees.
The total stay-at-home vote reached
the vast aggregate Of 25,To5,063.
"Thls stay-at-home total of over %
100000" said Mr.. Michelet, ''is ar
rived at after deducting S,467 ,625 dis
qualified citizens of twenty-one years
and over, including about 6,2O0,WO
alien or unnaturalized foreign borns
and over 100000 illiterate citizens,
white and colored, DISTINGUISHED under
the election laws of u Southern
states. The stay-at-home vote is not
characteristic of any particular sec

Captain Bartlett Sails for
Arctic on the Bear.

Washington.-Capt. Robert A. Bart
lett, famous Arctic explorer and COM
panion of Peary on his successful
polar trip, has been commissioned by
the National Geographic society to
gather data in the Far North in prep
aration for future aerial explorations
of the Arctic regions.
Captain Bartlett is aboard the
United States coast guard ship, the
Bear, Americas most famous ship
of peace" from which he will make
his observations during the Bears an
nual cruise in Alaskan and Siberian
waters.
A romantic feature of the voyage Is
the fact that the ship which went to
rescue Greely, now, in making what
may be her last trip, helps pave the
way for future air exploration of the
Arctic.

Captain Bartlett will study especial

Point Barrow and the North pole
which area is wholly unexplored. He
will report upon harbor facilities for
supply ships, possible landing places
for various types of craft between
