EXPLORER TELLS OF HEAT IN FAR NORTH
Polar Territory Not Frigid,
 StelanSen Declares Here

Tcrming modern geographical education as miscellaneous misin- formation" Nilhjalmur Stefansson, noted Arctic explorer, spent almost two hours last night disillusioniug an assembly of listeners that had gathered in the State Normal school to hear the conQucror of the north. The old conception of the north pole being the most barren place in the world, was questioned when lte said that for days at time torrid temperatures of 9S degrees in tho shade, made life miserable for travellers along the Mckenzie river Of northern Canada.
 He elaborated on the description of the north pole showing that it is an imaginary spot on the ocean. two or three miles deep. several hundreds miles from land. This could not Dc the coldcst spot on the face Of the world, he explained pri- marily because the atmosphere near the ocean is not very cold The old dogma that I;skimos drink oil throughout the winter he ridiculed, cNclainling that the only tjIac he saw an Eskimo drink oil was when the latter was offered one dollar by an enterprlsing tourist. At one tim, nc had occasion to prove to his own satisfaction that oil is not q fit or s very nourishing diet. He and his companion were starving in the Arctic wastes and they finally had to resort to few remaining cans of oil, remembering statements that il was palatablc. Neither the two explorers or their dogs would take the oil, and only by mixing moss and the oil could they utilize it as . food.
 There are spots in the United States that are much colder than territory in the Arctic he told his listeners.

 At the house side Of the capitol today. Representative Maas. rcpubli- can. Minnesota. said he proposed to suggest plan to the unofficial house committee on modification Of the prohibition laws, looking to concen- traton of the work on the anti-pro- hibitonist&.
 He said he would present a rcso- lution 10 the wet bloc at it's meeting Monday to appoint q subcommittee to consider all measures 10 repeal the prohibition law. as it was i'm possible to get the regular house committee to ci>c consideration To any bills proposing 8 change iu the present prohibition law.
 The greatest drawback" he said. to the modification movement SO far has been the impossibility of air ing the true conditions l"opcrlY, and the lack of q uniform plan.
 Must Use One Plan
 'Thc strength of the organized minoritios who put over prohibition lay in their united support Of one plan. The same tactics must now be employed 10 undo the harm that was done.
 The ranks Of the prohibitionists arc, broken. They cannot longer agree among themselves about their future program. They blame every thing but the unsoundncss of the law itself for it's failure.
 The fanatics in their trcuIicd desperation, call for trial without jury. the repeal of the fourth amend ment SO as to permit them to raid every mans home without warrant, cause or reason. They demand the nullitication of the whole constitu- ton 10 enforce this one section of the constitution. If 1t really be legitimate section at all.
