CHARTERING THE ARCTIC
 BY AJRpJANE

Discovery of new land In the Arc tic, including high mountain peaks that formerly were unsusrected, was made possible by the MacMillah ex- petition through the use of air planes. The distance covered in one, day would have taken month to cover with sleds and dogs. Thus the Arctic is being made known to the prying eyes of man, and the day will soon be here when every mountain and valley in the far north hereto fore unknown, will have a name and be found upon the maps.
 The flights already made by the MacMillan planes from the base at Etah total more than 5000 miles. This is the rate at which the Arctic Is being forced to yield such secrets as heretofore have not been given up, And through ot all communica- tion has been maintained with the civilized world through the use of the radio,
 This is a modern romance. the conquering might of machinery and the control of man over the results of his scientific attainments.

ENCOURAGING USE OF BITUMNOJS COAL

The ordered reduction of railroad rates upon certain high types of bltuminous coal from West Virginia to New England was move in the right direction and will have the tendency Of permitting substitutes for hard coal to gain greater use.
 The cry all along has been that low volatile bituminous fuel was not cheap enough, compared with anthracite, to encourage its use. If the freight rate from West Virginia is 10 be substantial this condition should be greatly amcliorated, and the use Of it stimulated throughout New England.
 The anthracite fields are closer to New England than the bituminous fields Of West Virginia, western Maryland and southern Pennsyl- vania, so that the freight costs have heen 70 the disadvantage of the lat ter, The Interstate Commerce Com mission, finding that the string Of railroads needed to haul coal from the bituminous fields 10 New Eng land were charging combination of local rates that made too high a total, ordered joint rates designed 10 be more reasonable. What the public cannot understand, however, is why it should take until october Is to place the new rates in effect. It has been frequently noticed that whom freight rates or other rates are increased 1t does not require two months of preliminary book keeping.

ONE MORE CONGRESSMAN
 FROM THIS STATE?

According to reapportionment plans for Congress. Connecticut is to receive an additional congressman. The House would have a member ship of 4s3 instead of 435.
 Congress of late years has been little slow about rearranging con- gressional districts to take account of changes in population, due to a desire not to increase the represen- tation of the south and radical sec- tions of the west. The last reappor- tionment was in 1911. It is believed the next Congress will find 1t nec- essary 10 tackle the subject.
 There seems to be no logical ob- jection 10 rearranging representa- ton, particularly as the increase of congressmen would be only 4s,

Watching inc Clock

ttnSplfauonal MeSSdge Serles)
 Chief among the many reasons why young men fail in business is the "clock watching habit. This habit is 70 prevalent and so per nicious that employees who have acquired it are unable to concen- trate on their work. The hands of the office clock wield such a hyp- notic influence upon them that they are constantly looking up to see whether 1t is time to go 10 lunch or to quit for the day.
 Such employees deceive them selves into believing that such sur- reptitious glances are not noticed by their superiors, However, that is not the case, There are efficiency ex- perts in almost every office whose duty it is to watch the clock watch CTS. Let us cite an illustration in proof of this assertion.
 The officials of a certain company in Chicago were about to create a new executive position of impor- tance and, desiring to fill 1t from the ranks instead of bringing a man in from the outside, determined to apply the "clock watching test. " Thereupon the efficiency expert was instructed to report the name of the man who paid the smallest atten- ton 10 the clock during the course of the day.
 At the end of the week the ex- pert made the astounding report that he had found that one of the clerks never looked at the clock.
 The reward was immediate Needless to say, the clerk received the promotion, being installed in a splendid private office.
 AS a further token of their ap- preciation, the company officials presented him with complete desk set. Among the articles included 1T 1t was a handsome mahogany clock
 And thereafter the recipient fount it unnecessary to wear his wris watch during the day.

INTERSTATE BUSES AND SPEED

Efforts being made to prevent motor busses from driving unneces- sarlly fast along the public high ways apparently is meeting with strong opposition by the bus inter ests, who seem to think part of their future lies in competing with the railroads as regards speed. The practice of disconnecting the speed ometers. so that neither the driver the public or an investigator can determine exactly how fast a bus Is travelling, has cropped up between Hartford and Springfield, ant Is to be condemned as a ruthless attempt to combat the law and override public sentiment.
 A reporter for the Springfield Republican. in taking test rides in various bus lines out of Springfield, found the rate of speed frequently 45 miles an hour. although the drivers appeared to be experienced, skilful and careful at dangerous points. The trip from Hartford to Springfield took one hour and fif- teen minutes, and 24 automobiles and nine trucks were passed on the road, while only two cars succeeded In passing ahead of the bus. The spedometers were mot working"
