ANTARCTIC SUMMONS DRIVER AND HUSK|ES
 TO NEW ADVENTURES
ARTHUR T. WALDEN, MUSHER AND LEAD DOG CHINOOK, TO
 SAIL WITH BRYD

WONAuANCET N. H.Aug. IT. (P- I-Regions where adventure turks a.
 mid snow and ice and biting winds are beckoning once more to Arthur T. Walden and his dog Chinook.
 Walden, veteran dog team driver with experience in Alaska and other parts of the far North, will accompany Commander Richard E. Bryds expe- dition to the Antarctic. He will be in charge of the sled dogs to be used in establishing bases for the Comman der's polar flights.
 Chinook, 11-year old halfbreed hus- ky, and Walden have been compan- ions on many previous adventures and together have won honors in sled ra- ces in Canada and the United States Walden raised the dog from puppy hood and strong attachment exists between them.
 Chinook is still exceptionally power full, although too old for racing, and his training makes him one of the most valuable of lead dogs. Last March, in the face of freezing temper team of six dogs over the icy slopes of Mount Washington, highest peak in the White Mountains, to the sum- init. It was the only time the noun tain has ever been scaled by dog team, and the feat was achieved large ly through Chinooks strength, cour- age and intelligence. He averted di- saster repeatedly when wind threat ened to sweep the team from the mountain side into yawning ravines below.
 In his kennels here, Walden has 40 other huskies, sons and daughters of Chinook, and many of them probably will be taken on the expedition.
 Walden, who is 56 years old, mush- ed behind dog teams before and dur ing the days of the Alaskan gold rush He is close friend of Leonard Sep pala, Alaskan musher, famed for his dash to Nome with antitoxin during the diptheria epidemic three years ago. He thinks Seppala the greatest dog driver in the world and Seppala may be one of four or five other dri- vers picked to assist Walden

BASKETBALL TEAMS
OVER THE WEEK END.

The Ely squad won their first
game of the season at Mountain
Iron on a score of 20 to 10. The
game was fast. Mountain Iron led
up to the last quarter when the Ely
boys took the lead which was almost
lost when the final gun sounded.
Pucel was leading in points scored
while Nicholas was the flash in floor
work. The same night the second
team lost their first game LIZ TO z.
Saturday night the first team met
defeat on their home floor at the
hands of Biwabik on a score of IA to

ginning, but Ely missed many chanc-

Ely guard to make good their sort
shots. The second team won their
game on score of Ia to z.
The most exciting of Saturdays
triple header was the game between
the Ely and Coleraine Junior Col

Statistics show that there were
1881 lives snuffed out last year in
automobile accidents not counting
those killed at railroad crossings or
in collision with street cars. These
latter causes increase the death total
in which autoes were involved to a
total of 20,S91. On a percentage
basis this is 17.9 per 100000 in
1926 against 1905 in 1922. Con-
sidering the increase in autoes, this
does not mean as much as the figures
would indicate. 1t is presumed that
the death toll this year will be much
large md increase the percentage.
It vii. De hard to- estimate the COM
ing percentage in view of the state
ment that there will be 5000, 900
more autos on the roads and streets.
Besides, it is stated that the new
Ford will be capable of making 60
miles on a straightway and it has
been estimated by some statistical
sharp that the same machine will be
capable of making at least 80 miles
coming out of some side street into
the line of travel. With all the speed
on the several brands there is not
one which is capable of making time
enough to beat the train to the eros
sing of live enough to move faster
than a snails pace when crossing
railroad tracks. 1t has been demon
strated that he who wins the race
and lives to enjoy another day is
the fellow who stops to watch the
lain go by.

SAME OLD STORY.

When the cold wave started last
evening the grasshopper of the third
reader came rushing to the anthill.
"Say," he began, "somethingal have
to be done. It's cold enough to
freeze an iron dog and Pm out of

that we haven't any place to live in
nor any furniture to put in it. Here
you sit at the door of a nice warm
anthill with grub stored up. What
are you going to do about me?"
What do you want me to do?" asked
the third reader ant. "Divide up"
replied the grasshopper, "Gimme."
"But," objected the ant, 81 worked
like the devil all summer long, dug
tunnels and lugged out dirt, dragged

doing?" "Makes no difference"
said the grasshopper. you've got
it and amt. 1t takes just so much
stuff to get through the winter on.
The conference of Amalgated Grass
hoppers agreed on that. Right here
on the first of December the ques-
ton isn't what you did this summer
and what l didn't, but coal and eats
and few picture shows. Suppose

FORESTS PLAY IMPORT
ANT ROLE IN REGULA-
TON OF STREAMFLOW

That the forest plays an import
ant part in the regulation of stream
flow has been brought out by scien-
tifc investigation over great many
years and in many parts of the
world, according to Raphael Eon, di-
rector of the Lake States Forest
Experiment Station of the Forest
Service, United States Department
of Agriculture.
The forests are not only an i'm
portant factor in regulating stream
flow, but also aid in modifying eli
mate and the character of the soil,
tending toward the improvement of
the water storage capacity of any
watershed. These conclusions of DR..
IONS regarding the relationship of
forests and floods are of particular
interest just now when ways and
means of preventing floods ana regu-
lating flood waters are being given
such wide consideration. In his
booklet entitled Forests and Water
in the Light of Scientific Investiga-
ton" just republished by the United
States Department of Agriculture,
he points out that although floods
which are produced by exceptional
rainfall can not be prevented by
forests, yet, without the mitigating
influence of the forests, floods are
more severe and destructive.
"a national policy" he says,
(which, though considering the di-
rect value of forests as source of
timber, fails to take full account also
of their influence upon erosion, the
flow of streams and climate, may
easily endanger the well-being of the
whole people"
The tendancy of the forest is to
equalize the flow througout the year
of all streams having their origin in
tree-covered mountain regions. This
is explained in an interesting discus
sion of the combined effects of the
forests upon air and soil tempera-
ture, relative humidity, effective pre-
cipitation, evaporation, wind, physi-
cal character of the soil, and run
off of water which in turn control
streamfow. A comparison of many
streams having forested and nonfor-
ested watersheds support tie con-
illusions reached by the study OF
contributing factors.
The booklet shows the effect OF
forest cover TO be most beneficial on
steep slopes, at the higher elevations
and on nonporous soils. The forest
breaks the force of terms, absorbs
some of the water, permits still more
water to seep down into soil where
it is gradually released to feed the
springs and larger streams. The
maintenance of a forest cover is
shown to be the cheapest and best
way of preventing er sion by its
tendency to bind the soil in place
The study was originally published
as part of the final report of the
National Waterways Commission in
1912. The new edition contains a
valuable feature in very exhaus-
tive revised photography of the re-
lation of forests to water and eli
mate. This includes wore than 500
references to books, pamphlets, and
periodicals which have appeared in
recent years througout the world.
A limited number of free copies of
Forests and Water" are available
upon application to the Office of In

ture, Washington, D. C.

HARRIS URGES EARLY
SCHOOL SITE BUYING
Architect Wants Citizens to Wage
Contest for Beautifying
Grounds.

A. r. Harris. muniClpaI afcmteCt,
spoke at a meeting of the Manor PARK
Citizens Association at Whittier School
last night, advocating the early ac-
auisition of school sites and the early
planting of trees. so as to make a
suitable approach to the schools. lie
suggested that the various citizens
associations conduct competitions to
see which association can prepare the
most attractive setting for the school
in it's neighborhood.
The association decided to request
the Board of Education to improve
the grounds at the Whittier School.
The District Commissioners and the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission will be requested to ac-
quire land north of Sheridan street
for school and park purposes without
undue delay. A suitable tract has
already been set aside.
The association went on record as
opposing one-man street cars. A reso-
luton was passed requesting the Zon-
ing Commission to define home indus
tries which may be carried on in resi-
Dental districts and to bar beauty
parlors from residential districts.
1t was decided to initiate q lawn and
garden contest among the members.
Details will be worked out later. The
association formally suggested that
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions hold an annual convention. Six
delegates were elected to the confer
ence on city planning. They are
