EXPLORE ARCTIC FROM
 AIR WASTE OF MONEY
Use of DirigibIes In Trips Either North or South . Costly Ex-
 pertinent

Stockholm, March 13.---Airship ex- ploration of the polar region is Financially wasteful, and better sci- entific results can be obtained at a small fraction of the cost through the use of an fashioned, moder- ate-sized windjammer. according to Captain Hugo N. Palin, a Swedish explorer, who has placed before the Anthnopological and Geographical Society of Sweden detailed plan to investigate one of the still unknown white spots" about the North Pole. An inherent disadvantage of the air. ship for polar work, Captain Palin says. is the lack of transportation facilities after making a landing.
 The Arctic region now best worth studying Captain Pallin considers to be the one north of Siberia, particu- larly the neighborhood of Nicholas II land. About this territory little is known. It may be as large as Nova zembla, and may be connected through a series of islands with Franz Josef Land. What Captain Pallin proposes to do is to equip a hunting vessel of about 80 tons, having auxiliary motors, and then stay In the Arctic at least two and perhaps three years. The crew he would limit 10 seven men, of which three would be scientists. The total cost would not be over s30,000.

INVESTIGATE LISTS
Although Total Population of Iraq
 is Less Than s,000,000 sheiks
 Show Vote Register of 10000, ,O00.

Bagdad, March 13.-Although the total poulation of Iraq is less than a,oo0,ooo, the parliamentary election returns submitted from all districts indicate that there are no fewer than 1o,o00,0o0 voters in the country. It appears that some of the tribal sheiks. with political ambitions, were inclined to exaggerate the number Of their tribes when compiling their electoral registers.
 An official investigation is now be- ing made into this sudden swelling of the population, and the election results are being held up until the inquiry has been concluded. De- mocracy is likely to have many more unforeseen results in Iraq. It is significant that eagerness to be rep resented in the parliament of Iraq outweighed the important consider ation that, If compulsory service were ever introduced. large quotas of men would be expected from tribes with long lists of voters.
 It Is urged that a reliable census If 1raq be made. It would not be a novelty in the country. The rulers of ancient Babylonia knew with a fair degree of accuracy how many men they held under their sway.

BODY OF COLLINS
 MAY BE REMOVED
Brother Makes Contract With
 Miner to Make Recovery

Central City. Ky, March i3.-w. H.

The body was sealed in the hole after, 1t was ascertained that he was dead.
 Homer Collins Is travelling with a burlesque show and closed the con- tract by telegram. Mir. Hunt said.
 The work of recovering the body will begin about April i. MT. Hunt said. He believes the work can be accomplished in two weeks.
 Collins was trapped in the cave January 30 and was reached through a rescue shaft February Is. Be- cause of the hazard to rescuers, 1t was decided not to undertake to re- cover the body and the pit was filled, burying the cave man some 60 feet below the surface.

MARRIAGE CLERK
 MAY BE SUICIDE
New Yorker, Under InVstisa.
 tiQn, Killed by Train

New York. March ts,--official in- vestigation into the. death yesterday of Thomas J. McCabe. deputy city clerk in charge of the marriage H. cense bureau In the Bronx, who was Killed by a Third avenue elevated train. has not been completed but police said today that the one witt mes they had been able to interview told them he saw McCabe leap in front of the train.
 McCabe had been asked to appear today before the Bronx county grand jury which Is investigating the is- suance of marriage licenses to min DTS. The deputy clerk was in no way under accusation or suspicion in connection with the ''child- bride" Investigation, which was intended to establish that the present marriage laws were working unsatisfactorily.
 Subordinate employees in the mar riage license bureau said that Me- Cabe had been breeding over the in- vestigation and could not rid him- self of the idea that it was aimed at him personally. The office had been held by his father. Matthew McCabe, until his death. It then went to Matthew McCabe's brother and five years ago the job came to Thomas J. McCabe. who had been a street car conductor In the Bronx.
 One of the marriages that focused attention on McCabes office before the present inquiry was that of AL fred E. Smith, Jr., the governors son, who was secretly married. He later was married in a Catholic church ceremony.

HARBORS IN FAROES
Copenhagen, March 1S.--No fewer Seven New Ones Being Constructed in Islands, Largest One Being at Thorshayn, the Capital.

Thorshavn, the Capital.
 than seven new harbors of varying sizes and importance are now in course of construction in the Farce Islands. At Thorshavn, the capital of the islands, work on a new har- bor comprising two quays protected by a breakwater 500 feet long Is well advanced, and is expected to be completed at the end of next year.
 A more modest harbor nearing completion is at Skopen, the north west point of the island of Sandoe, and consists of an outer and inner mole which will afford shelter for fishing craft or small tonnage. The harbor will also serve as a lifeboat station and emergency anchorage for vessels in danger at a particu- larly treacherous part of the coast.
 Other harbors in course of erec- ton are at Midvaag, Soervaag on the island of Vaagoe, and at Tveraa, Kvigig and Hoy.

Reports From England That Govern

Reports From England That Govern
 Ment is Planning to Turn Out Gold
 Calculla, March 13.-Reports from
 Coins, stirs Natives of India. England that the government has under consideration turning out gold en sovereigns again has aroused much interest among the natives, who for many years have always been eager to pay a premium for certain of the gold pieces which they used for personal adoNment. What the Indians are principally concerned about, however. Is whether the sov- ereigns are to have the same designs as formerly.
 In pre-war times there were two kinds of sovereigns--one with King Georges profile on the obverse and St. George killing the dragon on the reverse, and the other with the Roy al Standard instead of St. George. The coins bearing the dragon were not in favor among the Indians. who avoided them on every occasion and would not accept them on any &C., count. The dragon coins were In dis favor also among the Chinese, and the prejudice was so great at one time in eastern trading circles that they were virtually barred from busi- ness in many parts of the Orient.

lived along the kennebec River
Valley. and that I was not going to
take a positive stand on either loca-
ton. Anyone who has given the de-
