Due to the extreme cold weather,
it was impossible to hold a meeting

was also impossible to build fire

members of the club miss the talk
on the life at the University of Del

be able to give us the same address

ing on Monday, January 4th. The

Stump, World War
Vet, to Oppose Sen.
Watson in Indiana

Indianapolis, June S.-(P)-Albert
Stump of Indianapolis, a World war
veteran, who has never held public
office. today was selected as the
Democratic candidate for T.. S. seu-
ator at the party's convention. He
will oppose Senator James e. Wat
son. Republican candidate for re-
election in the fall.
The election Of Stump was viewed
by politicians as the passing of Dem
ocratic leadership in Indiana from
Thomas Taggart to younger hands.
The suddenness of the swing to
Stump left the Taggart leaders, who
had been jockeying John E. Freder-
ick of Kokomo into position for NOM
nation on the fourth ballot, without
resource and the quick appearance
of the veteran Taggart as acting
chairman failed to halt the process

New Machine Mines
Coal by Electricity

Some of the troubles of the coal
mining industry may be solved by a
new-type electrically driven mining
machine now getting trial runs in
various coal regions of the country.
1t is a powerful machine that cuts its
way into the face Of bed of coal,
breaks the coal loose and loads It
into mine cars without the exercise
of manual labor or the firing of a
single ounce of powder or dynamite,
such as often cause mine explosions.
In test run this machine was able
to bore its way into a coal seam al
the rate of one foot in ten minutes
and at a total mining cost of half
that prevailing in the hand working
sections of the same mine. The en-
tr'- driven in coal by the machine Is
TT. high and IL #. S in. wide.

More of North To Be
Charted BY Macmillan

Chicago, June 3-(P)-The discov-
cries Of Commander Donald b. Mac
MILAN in his four years in the White
North do not include the Pole but he
has attained twenty-one objects
which affect the maps of the world
When the explorer leaves this
month to lead another expedition
into the Polar regions, his ambition
will be to make more of this I'M
charted area q matter of white mans
record.
MacMillan's recent book shows he
has disproved Croker Land. He has
found evidence of a new land far to
the west of his last camp on the Po-
lar Sea. Surveys of previously un-
explored areas have brought much
significant matter to light while the
discovery of coal in Bay Fiord and
his finding of records of the Kane
and second Grinnell expedition, add
ed further credit to his work. An
other feature has been his extensive
contribution in the fields of geology,
botany. ornithology and meteorology.
Macmillan also has done many
things for the Inhabitants of that
land, among which was his aid In
of the Esquimo language.
The itinerary of the expedition,
which sails June 10 from Wiscasset.
Maine, includes twenty stops on
voyage of about $500 miles. The
Bowdoin, smallest ship ever taken
into Arctic waters. will have crew
and personnel of but ten men, each
of whom will take his turn at the
wheel.
One of the chief purposes Of this
expedition is to survey the Morse
ruins in Labrador, which are located
on Turnitvick Island The trip Is fl
nanced by F. H. Rawson, Chicago
banker and made in the interests Of
the Field Museum of Natural His
tory.
Commander Macmillan gives an
inkling of the spirit which moves the
explorer into the north land.
