ARCTIC RADIO POST
TO AID FORECASTS
Daily Messages Expected to
Increase Accuracy of
Weather Man.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The weather man may do a better
job of predicting than usual in 1928,
for he will have advanced inform alton
on what kind of weather is moving
down from the North Pole.
Daily reports by radio from the
Northernmost known land on the globe.
600 miles from the Pole itself, will be
sent by the Williams Maris Arctic En-
petition. which sails for the far North
next June.
The weather reports will be the first
ever sent daily from station so near
either Pole, said Dr. H. B. Maris of the
United States Naval Research Labora-
tory, scientific director of the eXpedi-
ton. The leader will be Capt. F. H
Williams, United States Naval Reserve.
Two years will be spent in the Arctic.
Lonely Base is Selected.
Besides these reports the expedition
will study air movements that affect
weather in the United States, measure
earth currents that flow through the
sea around Greenland, and test the
temperature of the high cZone layer
that is believed to influence radio
transmission.
The expeditions radio station and
base will be at old Fort Conger, lonely
where so years ago 18 of the IS men
of Greely's expedition starved to death
because they could not communicate
with civilization.
Fort Conger will be reoccupied by
the expedition for the international
polar year of 1928, during which
scientists of all nations will occupy SO
stations in the Arctic and Antarctic
for an intensive, simultaneous study of
unexplained happenings there that af
feet life in the temperate zones.
One of the mysteries is how changes
of temperature in the upper atmos-
phere affect radio. Another is the eff
feet of terrific winds that are believed
to be blowing from 200 to 300 miles an
hour 80 miles above the earth.
Data on the earth currents" in
Greenland waters may help explain
'manetic storms" that disrupt radio,
telegraph and long-distance telephone
communication.
Two magnetic instruments will be
set up, one on the Greenland shore, the
other across Robson Channel on
Ellesmere Island. The salt water and
earth will serve as a sort of transform
er, enabling the instruments to record
the currents in the channel From
these records the expeditions scientists
hope to learn the nature OF the cur
rents and how their changes are re-
lated to magnetic storms.
The expeditions ship will remain at
Fort Conger through the Winters, and
there will be two airplanes as wen as
the radio for added safety.

CZECHOSLOVAKS SCORE
DUTIES ON u. S. AUTOS
Importers Protest Practical Ban
Under 200 Pct. Tax on Weight
and Prohibitive Costs.

BY Gable to The Star.
PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, November
9.-Czechoslovak importers are protest.
ing against their governments high
duties on American cars, which have
been found SO prohibitive as to prevent
the importation of all lighter weight
cars from the United States.
This scale of duties, as calculated
by weight imposes a tax of about 200
per cent, as compared with the prev
Gus As per cent, and makes the sales
price so high that few if any Czechs are
able to purchase American machines.
Dealers say that the duty discrim-
mates against American cars and favors
French cars, because, by a secret ar
rangement, French automobile export
erS guarantee a low price to Czech
distributors.
1t is thought that the French Syn
dictate rebates the high Czech duty to
French exporters and is in turn REIN
bursed from the Czech Syndicate.

Science
Lake Discovered in West
african Forest Believed to
Haze Been Formed by
Meteor.

Discovery of a great lake probably
formed by meteor in the dense
tropical forest of the Gold Coast colony
in West Africa is reported by Malcolm
McClaren in the journal Of the Royal
Geographic Society.
Hitherto unvisited by a white man.
this lake lies at the bottom of great
crater approximately 240 feet deep. NC
Claren could find no other explanation
for the great crater. There is no vol
canic debris in the neighborhood. The
lake is about miles in diameter and
has long been sacred to the Ashanti
Negroes of the neighboring forests. The
waters are full of fish and, the ex-
plorer believes, most of the tabus con-
nected with the lake are economic for
the preservation of this food supply.
The common way of travel on the
lake is on pointed logs upon which the
fisherman lies face downward, padding
with his hands and feet. r. r. H.

Liverpool Market
Break Hits Cotton

NEW YORK, March Z 1.N.SO
A sharp break in the Liverpool
market where prices were II to
13 English points lower than due
caused active selling in the New
York cotton market early today
but some very substantial trade
buying developed and prices, while
II to IA points lower than the
previous close, failed to show a
full response to the decline
abroad.
Liverpool was said to nave been
influenced by an unfavorable view
of the Indian duty on goods, and
the local sentiment has become
reactionary owing to the recent
evidence that farmers are not
planning to cut their acreage as
much as had been hoped for.
The demand for textiles has
improved materially, however,
and mills which had not made
large purchases of cotton are be-
ing forced into the market to
provide raw materials to take
care Of the larger sales of goods.
At the start of the final hour,
May sold at lilo. off II; July
at 1884, off 10: October at 1852,

NEW YORK, March 7 0N.SD
Selling of the left-overs from

ter.

in the second hour, with the sup
ply of stocks none too plentiful
at the prices quoted on the tape.

REIMBURSEMENT n 7.
STILL DUE IN
STOCKS
Continued Downward Trend
Indicated by Run of Trade
Reports, Spectator Holds
BY THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, March THE
stock market is beginning to feel
the weight of the excesses to
which certain overbulled stocks
were participants in the February
bulge, for it was the price col.
lapse in Auburn Motor, Case
Threshing and Mullins Manufac.
turing which directly paved the
way for sharp setback in Fridays
session.
The net loss in the Standard
Statistics Index of 80 stocks was
exactly three points, slightly
more than the advance scored on
Thursday, and carrying this set
of averages to new low on the
current downward movement.
The action of the market
therefore leaves no other alterna-
tive than to assume that there
is further price readjustment
ahead.
Ray OF Hope
While the general run of re-
ports from trade and industrial
centers continues of a diScourag-
ing nature, and the movement
of prices in the stock market is
apparently in keeping with this
downward trend, somehow it does
not seem reasonable to believe
that the course of security prices
is to be a cut-and-dried affair on
the downside.
A prominent investment service
points out that IL months or
more of business depression in
flict wounds that remain to
frighten the stock market for
months later. This was true in
1921 when the market rallied
early in the year and later broke
to new lows on superficial evi-
dence of bad earnings. At the
same time that the market was
taking new fright in 1921 follow
ing a years decline, fundamentals
were growing more and more con-
structive, and as a matter of fact
industrial production had already
started upward.
Business turned upward first
and the market was delinquent
in following, probably because of
the drag Of so much bad news
left over from the period of de-
clining prices.
