FREAK OF NATURE

of icebergs so far this year as positively
unprecedented, not. only In the annals
of the iceberg patrol, out IN the lneIiAoiy
of seafaring men.
What deep mystery has prevented
single iceberg from cutting loose from
its mooring somewhere in the glacier
strewn North is unknown to SclentlstS'
so far, although some theories nave
been put forth.
So strange has been the complete alb
sence of these giant menaces from
Greenland and Labrador that the Coast
Guard is already planning to Sena a
cutter into the Far North TINS ran 70

Nesting place of the hundreds OF ICE
skyscrapers that so far have been listed
as missing. ,.
Interest in this strange phenomenon
has been unusually heightened, be-
cause of the fact that two adventure
some expeditions, one beneath the sea
and the other, by air, high over the
frozen sea, are Planning to meet TINS
Summer at the North Pole. From
America, the submarine Nautilus mas
already left for her unprecedented az
venture beneath the Arctic ice. with
hopes Of getting to the North Pole. IN
Germany the great Graf Zeppelin IS
being prepared for fight over the
North Pole, with the announced inten-
ton of meeting. if possible, the sub
marine at the pole. $1,000
Since accurate records OF icebergs
have ben kept by the Coast Guard
there has been drift OF lcebergS vary
ing from 200 to 1000 annually. 1hey
ALWAYS start in late April or May and
continue on the increase up to about
the first of June. Records show that
every year up to this one, the height
of the iceberg season usually Is this
week. when the tide begins to turn.
From now on, the number usually de-
creases until the last berg melts IN
the warm waters fthe Atlantic some
time in August.
While there was some prospect that
a few bergs may appear later in the
season. it is entirely likely, according
to predictions at. Coast Guard head
quarters. that there may be no bergs at
all throughout the whole season this
year.
Americas leading iceberg expert is on
the verge of leaving the United States.
and viii be the only representative OF
this country on the Graf Zeppelin on
its fight over the North Pole this Sum
mer. He is Lieut.. Comdr. Edward II.
Smith of the United States Coast
Guard. who has studied the iceberg
country, at first hand, and has devel-
oped many scientific theories concern
ing the prevalence of the bergs.
The absolute absence Of icebergs this
year will make peculiarly valuable the
flight of Comdr. Smith over the north
ern regions this Summer.

putes reported rose from 3.789 in 1915
to ALSO in 1917. then dropped to 3450
in 1918 and in 1919 increased to $500.
From 1921, when there were 2,385, the
number has steadily diminished.
Eighty per cent of the strikes report
ed last year occurred north of the Ohio
and east of the Mississippi Rivers and
SIS per cent of these were in New York,
PENNSYLVANIA, New Jersey and Massa-
chusetts.
New York City showed a greater
number of strikes than any other. city.
About IA per cent of all labor troubles

1881" the commissions order said,
"uncontradicted testimony showed that
the rates fixed in accordance with the
sliding scale arrangement OF 1924 has
yielded the Potomac Electric Power Co.
an average net return of approximate

years 1925 1890, inclusive.
After full consideration of the mo-
nopoly enjoyed by the Potomac Electric
Power Co, the consistently increasing
demand for its service. its excellent
credit position, the demonstrated Ge-
mand for its securities, the trend of OPP
Grating costs and other related factors
affecting rate of return, the commission
again finds that rate of return yielded
by the sliding scape is exc, ssive and I'M

In modifying the consent decree, the
commission cited its authority to do SO
under paragraph Is of the public utili-
ties act. which authorizes it to enter
into an arrangement with a public utili-
ty by which there may be provided a
sliding scale for fixing rates. Such an
arrangement. it said, was made with
the power company back in 1924, and
every year thereafter, beginning in 1925,
electric rates in the District were fixed

is unable to emerge from her present
economic and financial difficulties
without help, and that we cannot ex-

matter, prosperous United States, if
Germany is in economic and financial
distress and nearing the point of COL
lapse.
II Germany is to be afforded relief,
by the rem sSlon or suspension OF her
reparation payments for two years or
hve years. or until her economic and
financial situation is sufficiently i'm
proved to enable her to again take up
the burden of those payments without
probable collapse that relief must be
afforded by all the nations concerned
and not by America alone"
The allied nations ARE not groan-
