Floating Ice Secrets
Revealed BY Patience

Washington, April "a. P.) - The
coast guard is planning to train some
of its officers as specialists in ice
patrol work. Lieutenant Commander
Edward II. Smith. who has been
serving as oceanographic officer of
the service. is taking advantage Of
n years fellowship offered him by
the Americana scandinavian founda-
ton. on the recommendation of IIar-
ward scientists. and is studying the
question of icebergs and their con-
tributing causes and life at Bergen,
Norway.
Commander Smith has been a pio-
neer in ice patrol work, serving on
coast guard vessels in the iceberg
lanes and during the winter months,
working up data at coast guard
headquarters, and conducting re-
search at Harvard University.
From a mission of following Ice
bergs and warning craft of their
whereabouts. the duties OF the ice
patrol have grown to include study
of the ocean, including the currents
that carry the bergs, the places
where they form, and other scientific
data bearing on them.
This service dates from 1914, fol-
lowing the signing by 13 powers in
terested in transatlantic navigation
of a convention. which provided for
'an international derelict- -destruc-
ton, ice-obscrvation and ice-patrol
service" The sinking of the Titanic
by an iceberg in 1912 really initiated
the movement and coast guard Off
GERS point with pride to the fact that
since the ice patrol was established.
no lives have been lost because of
icebergs in the ocean lanes of the
North Atlantic.

NEAR EAST RELIEF.

A few weeks ago we published
clippings taken from several Mime
sofa papers in regard to Near East
Relief funds and their distribution.
Under date of February 10, we re-
rey, general secretary, accompanied
by a printed report, in which he
says we were mistaken and sets us
right as follows:
Editor The Ely Miner:
"My attention has been called to
a clipping in a recent issue of your
paper which is evidently based on
some transformation / would like
very much indeed, if it would not
take too much of my time, to meet
Sumayeh Attiyeh, to whom you re-
fer, and who has evidently made
some very misleading, if not errone-
Gus statements.
"There are no commissions of any
kind paid in our organization. Thtre
is, we think, the maximum economy
and efficiency. A number of our
workers, both overseas and in this
country, are serving absolutely with
out compensation, and l doubt if
there are any Of the employed de-
partment heads who could not leave
the organization greatly to their fin
anc;al advantage. They are in this
service for what they can give, and
not for what they can get. In
fact, only this week we have re-
turning one of our workers who has
been overseas for year or more
entirely at her own expense, paying
her steamship and travelling ex-
penses as we'll as foregoing any sal
airy. / believe this is the spirit of
everybody in the organization, and
such stipends as are paid are only
such as nurses, teachers and others
are obliged to accept as more or
less on the expense basis, and in
no wise as compensation for sacri-
fees involved. In fact, more than
score of our workers have given

UNIVERSAL SERVICE BILL.

The Ely Miner stands right be-
hind the Legion boys in their de-
mand for the passage of the "Univer-
sal Service Bill" The proposed bill
outlined at the New Orleans Ma
tional Convention reads as follows:
IAN ACT TO PROVIDE FURTHER
FOR THE NATIONAL SECUR-
ITY AND DEFENSE.
Be it enacted, by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States of America, in Con-
gress assembled,
D-That, in the event of a ma
tional emergency declared by Con-
gress to exist, which in the iudg-
ment of the President demands the
immediate increase IF the military
establishment, the President be, and
he hereby is, authorized to draft in
to the service of the United States
such members of the unorganized
militia as he may deem necessary;
provided, that all persons drafted
into service between the ages of 81
and 80, or such other limits as the
President may fix, shall be drafted
without exemption on account OF in
dustrial occupation.
(2)-That in case of war, or
when the President shall Judge the
same to be imminent, he is author
lied and it shall be his duty when,
in his opinion, such emergency re-
quires it.
(a)-To determine and pro-
claim the material resources, in
49,, Il
over which Government control is
necessary to the successful term
nation of such emergency, and
such control shall be exercised by
him thru agencies then existing
or which he may create for such
purposes:
(b)-To take such steps as
may be necessary to stabilize
prices of services and of all COM
modities required by the Gov
eminent or by the civilian popu-
lation'
The San Francisco Convention
and that at st. Paul reiterated the
determination of the American Lee
gion to enact this measure into law,
The idea of drafting everybody, sol
diers, capital and labor in one giant
undertaking is sound logic and the
idea to stabilize prices of service and
essential commodities in the last
clause reads good to those who
gave away everything in the late
war and borrowed money to carry
on, while others were fattening
their rolls at the expense of those
who had to live and are lolling in
the lap of luxury.

ning of the organization to The
present time, something more than
80 per cent has gone overseas, ana
if anyone were to visit in any one
of our orphanages where we have
as many as 90U0 children without
fathers ana mothers in one place,
they would see that to provide A.
900, 900 meals year, as we do, for
otherwise helpless orphans, there
must be rather efficient organiza-
ton.
I'VE welcome constructive and
sympathetic criticism, and are al
ways trying to improve, but l very
much fear that someone. has inter
preted only a part, and perhaps a
misleading part of the whole story

observers will perhaps give to you

of men all of whom are Interested
and not one of whom directly or in
directly receives compensation OIL

most of them are giving most gen
erously both OF their time and
money"
Very sincerely yours,

The following editorial from the
Northern News, published at Spoon
er, Minnesota, by Geo. E. Erickson
can be appreciated by every country
publisher:
ga man came in and stopped
the paper theN other day, because
we didn't mention his name often
enough, so we made ourselves
committee of one to investigate.
''The first thing that had ever
happened to him was that he was
born, and that had been mention
ed, even though he had nothing
to do with it, and if any credit
was due, it was due to his par
ents.
when he was young man, he
was married apd we mentioned
his name, the brides name, the
preacher, and all about it, except
tbs, preachers fee, and that wasn't
worth mentioning.
eve never mentioned about his
winning any prizes at the fair, as
he never exhibited anything. Nor
was his name listed on any COM
mittees of the Red Gross, church
or societies, as he never attended
anything.
eff there was list of anything
being donated to worthy cause,
his name was not among the don
ors, as he never donated even a
doughnut.
1T is true, his name has not
been mentioned as often as others
in the paper, but we have nice
obituary to rum"

MONUMENT PROPOSED
TO HONOR LUMBERJAcK

The erection of a monument to
the most picturesque figure in the
story the making of Minnesota,
the lumberjack, is advocated in a
paper entitled ''The Minnesota Lum-
Minneapolis, recently read before
berjack", by Wright T. circuit of
the Minnesota Historical society.
Mr.. circuit calls attention to the
fact that bronze statue of a cow
boy is being erected on the capitol
grounds at Austin, Texas, and he
urges that it would be fitting in
Minnesota to honor in similar
fashion the lumberjack. s'The cow
boy is no more typical of the cattle
industry of Texas and the western
plains than is the lumberjack of the
lumber industry of Minnesota and
the Northwest according to Mr..
circuit. "They each represent
phase of frontier life and monu-
ments to them, suitably inscribed,
will effectively direct the attention
of future generations to the inn.
