Arctic Not Altogether
Region of Barrenness

The Arctic may have heavy SHOWS
and bitter cold for eight or nine
months of the year, but during the
remainder of the twelve months
flowers bloom, meadows appear, and
even vegetables grow, writes James
Montagnes in the Scientific Amerl-
can.
Flowers have been found growing
within 400 miles of the North pole
by investigators who travelled to the
tip of Ellesmere island, the last big
Arctic island before reaching the
pole. There these botanists found
hundreds of varieties of flowers,
MOSES, lichens, and similar plants.
At the settlements, where the long
Arctic day averages upward of eight
cen hours daily during the summer
months, it is possible to grow a large
assortment of vegetables, including
potatoes, caulifower, cabbage, toma-
toes, .radishes, onions, carrots, beets,
lettuce, and cucumbers. In region
where canned food, dried meat, and
fish form the staples, these fresh
vegetables prove an attraction on
the menu. Even wheat has been
grown, and experiments are now be-
ing carried on to find a faster ma
turing wheat for that region.

Hay-Pauncefote Treaty,
Involving Panama Canal

The Hay-Pauncefote treaty of 1901
was signed long before there was a
Panama canal in existence and did moi
give England free use of the Panama
canal, notes a writer in the Detroit
News. 1t replaced the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty of 1850 as an Anglo-American
agreement of policy concerning an
lsthmian canal, then supposed to be
fived as across Nicaragua. Public feel
ing for some years had been growing
sore over the Clayton ulwer treaty's
restriction on the independent action
of the United States, and there was
grave fear lest congress might abro
gate that treaty by open violence,
great blow to future amicable action
President Mckinley in his annual
message for 1893 declared that the
canal had become national necessity.
Negotiations were opened with Great
Britain and a draft treaty was sen;
by the President to the senate in Feb
ruary. 1900, providing for the con-
struction of a canal, to be permanently
neutrallzed. Disputes in the senate
over the terms led to the formulation Of
new treaty, ratified as the Hay
Pauncefote treaty in December, 1901.
Before the opening of the Panama
canal in 1914 there was a controversy
with Great Britain regarding the pro-
vision of the Panama Canal act Of
1912, exempting American vessels en-
gagged in coastwide trade from canal
tolls. This was regarded by the Brit
ish as violation of the original treaty.
Eventually, after President Wilson had
sent congress message urging this
action, this exemption of American
ships from the canal tolls was repealed.

2 Tilted Girls
CryI do at
Wedding

PRAGUE-"Will you take this
man to be your lawful husband?"
asked the clergyman officiating
at marriage at Chrudim, in Bo-
hemia.
II do" said the bride.
Il do" cried voice somewhere
on the left.
Il do" came another cry some
where on the right.
There was a great commotion in
the church, and it was half an
hour before the wedding could
proceed.
The bridegroom, it was discov.
cred, had proposed to three girls.
The two he had Tilted were the
interrupters. They had conspired
to wreck the wedding.
But the bridegroom was too
hardened even to blush. He called
the police and had the women
arrested on the charges of Inter
rupting religious ceremony and
acting in a manner likely to cause
breach Of the peace"
Then he went back to the altar
and married his waiting final
choice.

ELECTION

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Dec
i6 Q.N.SO. Hundreds of aged
people, many on canes and
crutches, today prepared to brave
wintry blasts tomorrow to march
to the polls in Michigan's third
congressional district to choose a
Congressman, but, more impor'
tant to them, to cast ballots
which they hope will insure the
$20o-a-month pension the Town
send old-age program would pro-
vide.
Many have not voted since the
days of Cleveland and Mckinley
and others have never voted at
all, but the golden promises of
the Townsend plan has succeeded
In Turing their interest.
Conservative estimates by cleo
ton officials said at least $500
persons past the age of so, who
otherwise would have stayed by
their firesides, would be casting
votes tomorrow.
Personalities Ignored
Personalities of the candidates
mattered little to the aged voters.
Because Vernon w. Main, the Re
publican candidate, promised sup
port Of the Townsend plan in
Congress, he will obtain the sup
port of the army on crutcheS." "

Democratic candidate.
A third candidate in the race
was E. G. Keifer, nominated by
the Farmer-Labor party. His vote
was not expected to figure heavily
In the final results.
Main Endorsed Plan
Main, admitted frankly his most
important political asset was bis
unqualified Endorsement of the
Townsend plan. He polled more
votes in the primary than his four
Republican opponents combined
and his Townsend hackers esti
mated their support had given
him 10000 votes then.
Since. there have been 465 new
registrations in Battle Creek, anc
election officials said the late
qualifiers ostly were aged
people.
On the basis of 465 new regis
trations in Battle Creek, it was
estimated approx imately 5000
aged persons. had qualified az
voters since the primaries in the
entire district.
Cavanagh, the Democratic can
didate, vigorously attacked tn {

WHERE ARE OUR MANNERS?

Courtesy and politeness are attributes
one naturally expects in what might be
termed our better circles" When thew
are supplanted in that particular sector
by rudeness and insults it is somewhat
startling if not shocking.
There are times when we have serious
doubts about the ability and efficiency
of Frances Perkins, United States secre-
tary OF labor and we could find MANY in
cldents during the past two years on
which we would not agree with her, but
she IS q lady and she is high government
official, member of the President =
immediate official family.
Her position, if nothing else, entities
her to respect and courtesy In addition
to this, she was invited by the president
Of the University of California to be the
honor guest at the university's charter
day. Because of this set-up the remarks
made concerning her by Miss Martha
lJams, secretary of the university class
of 1901 show an astounding absence of
good breeding and courtesy on the part
of Miss Ijams.
Calling Miss Perkins a mere politi-
clan" and declining to act as hostess at
an alumni association dinner honoring
the cabinet official last night, Miss Ijams
has gone much further than being dis
courteous to guest. She has placed the
University OF California, which she rep
resents to certain degree, and the state
of California, which supports the uni
versity, in a most unenviable light be
fore people of intelligence and re-
finement.
Whatever shortcomings Miss Perkins
may have, it cannot be disputed that
she is high credit TO her sex she is the
first woman to hold cabinet rank; she
is confidant and advisor of the Pres
ident of the United States.
Were she only Miss Frances Perkins,
she would still be entitled as an invited
guest to every consideration and court
esy that could be extended to her. In the
light of her official rank and an invi-
tation from the head of the university to
be its guest, the snub given her by Miss
Ijams is entirely objectionable.
Miss Ijams may be highly educated
woman but there are many whom the
world would never concede are among
the elite, who could teach her plenty.

Unrequited love of the wife Of a

vanced here today as a probable
cause for the mysterious "Suicide -
OF Karl Frey, 31-year-old athlete,
whose body was found hanging
from tree, the arms and legs
trussed with chains.
AS police investigated Frey's life,
they learned he had been employed
in Hollywood as q film stunt actor
and had a love affair with the Hol-
lywood matroc.
Jealousy of her husband, a direc-
tor, caused the stunt man TO leave
the film capital. it was said.
AS the investigation continued
three conflicting theories OF Frey S
death were advanced.
The coroner office maintained
he committed suicide.
Police believed his death acci-

NJ. j. MunSon, sales manager OF
Edgar Bros. company's Frigidaire
division, and A. L. Kersey, recently
transferred from Edgar Bros. COM
pany's farm equipment store to the
Frigidaire division, returned last
night from a two-day Frigidaire
conditioning school held at Ho-
tel Roosevelt, Hollywood.
The many improvements in the
conditioning field were stressed
at the school, according to Munson;
also the new lower prices which
make this type of home equipment
within the reach Of all, Munson
stated.
Engineers who told us about the
many developments" Munson said,
pointed cut that building construc-
tion is more and more being adapt
ed TO the needs Of air-conditioning
equipment. One engineer predicted
that within the next five years all
new homes built would. as a mat
ter of course, be properly insulated
for r-conditioning. These men who
have studied the air conditioning
problem closely all over the coun-
try stated that the idea OF MAIN
tanning a properly healthful tenn
perature and atmospheric condition
in homes and business buildings is
sweeping the country. Frigidaire
has foreseen this need and is pre-
pared right now TO supply all air
conditioning needs" Munsen con-
cluded.
