NEW YORK, April "A saucer shaped, wooden island with engine, masts and sails, has been designed by Capt. Robert Bartlett, for near ly 30 years sea captain on the Arc tic ocean.
 He calls the craft the skinner ship" It is a vessel unsuited for any of the seven seas except the Arctic, but adapted to perform in that ocean functions unknown to other ships. Al
 It will carry eight or 10 scientists for three to five-year cruise, all of them housed on it's roomy decks, open to light throughout six months of day, and for observation dur ing the long polar night. This deck, 125 feet long and AS wide, bears living quarters and labora- tories, and will rest only a foot above water. Its horizontal level is expected scarcely to be disturbed if pressure squeezes the ship up on the ice, for the keel is only 12 feet below deck, and the bottom nearly

flat. The craft is elongated like a salad dish.
 From Alaska, Captain Bartlett wants to drift northward over the pole, sending daily weather obser- vations by wireless to Washington. with meteorological balloons aloft, wires and cables down for water and salinity tests, and sonic depth finder in action, he would measure the polar clements from two miles above the surface of the sea to two miles below, the maximum known depth of Arctic midocean. He would take magnetic observations. today and current readings and make special experiments with the gyro compass.
 The drift over the pole in the direction of Europe, says Captain Bartlett, has been established by wreckage, but Arctic lore is blank as to speed of this current

he world, sky cloudless and not ] ripple of wind for hours.
 Twenty seven summers a veteran of these cold seas, the captains dream ship is also his life dream, the achievement his thoughts have been set upon since he first went north with Peary in 1897.
 Some say he remarked, that the ship won't do it. But I know the Arctic and I know she will.
 Shell slide over the ice instead of being crushed Her rudder and her propeller can be lifted straight up to deck when we see the ice closing in. She will be the first Arctic ship with Diesel engine, which takes up so little space that we can build her rigid throughout, something not done with another power vessel"
 He wants to build the skinner at a Puget Sound port and take her north by easy stages, using inside courses as much as feasible until he sights the eternal ice pack.

Question of Cabinet Mem ber's Right to Hold
 Position at Issue

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Senate investigators have found an over- whelming number of precedents to support President Hoover in re- taining Secretary of Treasury Mel lon and Secretary of Labor. Davis in the Cabinet without sending their nominations to the Senate.
 However, the Senate Judiciary Committed, which has been direct ed to inquiry into the status under a resolution of Senator McKellar, will be called early at the forth coming session to examine into each point raised, whether Mellon is serving in violation of an old statute forbidding the Secretary of the Treasury to be interested in trade and commerce. Whether Mellon is interested in trade and commerce seems to hinge on the extent to which a stockholder is interested in business generally. It is conceded that Mellon is stock holder. Supreme Court decisions on this point are being studied.

BRITISH DISPLAY NAVAL STRENGTH
 TO FORCE NEW LINK WITH FRANCE
By BATES RANEY GA. P. Feature EditOr)

LONDON, April PA quarter century of surface understanding between Great Britain and France will be celebrated all this week by display of British sea power off Cannes, France.
 The occasion will be the twenty fifth anniversary of the signing oi the entente cordiale' fostered by the late king Edward. The Medi- terranean fleet will take part in the display and Sir Austen Cham berlain and Aristide Briand may represent the foreign ministries of their respective countries.
 Some observers regard the fete as another attempt to regain the solidarity which existed between the two countries prior to the world war and which was given a jolt by the recent collapse of the Anglo French naval pact in the face Of adverse world public opinion.
 Anglo-French cooperation was somewhat strained at the close of the war and in the peace negotia- tionS because of differing interests. There have been consistent at tempts by certain British and French statesmen ever since to put the. relations back on a pre-war basis. The guaranteeing of French security by the treaty of Locarno gave the movement impetus, but the failure of the Anglo-French naval pact acted as a brake.
 Students of Anglo-French rela- tions arc realizing more and more just how efficient King Edward was as diplomat The entente cordiale, signed April 8, 1904, with France, was promoted largely by King Edwards influence and his reception of President Fallieres in England did much to assist that historic document, Moreover, the closer ties between England and smaller countries like Portugal and Spain, effected by King Edward exist to this day.
 The naval display is regarded by some students as the beginning Of new drive to consolidate pub- lie opinion in both countries in fa- vor of the old solidarity. A good show is likely to be made by the British tackles and the publicists of both nations will probably make the most of the occasion.

U. s. WILL PRODUCE
 FRESH WATER CLAM

When left alone during his first two weeks life the young clam or mussel leads an uncertain life. Only a few of the millions left by each mother clam to shift for them selves in the depths can find fish. and fewer the right kind of fish, on which to live the 12 to 20 days of their early parasitic existence. Their fish-ride over, the minute clans find growing beds by hit or miss methods.
 Experimental plantings have been successful at the bureau of fisher ies fresh water biological station at Fairport, Iowa In five to eight years the clans develop shells that bring, for the best quality, $125 to $150 a ton. The propagation is not a costly process, Ellis says.

COLUMBIA, Mo, April "A steady selected supply of fresh water clans, the raw material of the $1 100000 pearl button and nov city industries, will be made possi- ble by propagation and restocking program to be undertaken by the federal government in Mississippi valley streams.
 A process developed by pr. M. M. Ellis, professor of physiology at the University of Missouri, removes much of the uncertainty from the early life of the mussel. Millions of tiny specks which grow up to become the best pearl button stock available will be brought through the first two weeks of life in nu- tritive fluid discovered by Ellis and safely deposited in river beds.
