Explorer Who Sold Ice Box to Eskimos
Brings Back Miniature Glacier for Party
Peerless Jim Moran
Returns With Stories
of Prodigy Fleas.
BY w. H. SHIPPEN, Jr.

Jim Moran, the celebrated whale
hunter, Arctic explorer and inter-
prefer of jungle love cries. has Just
returned home from Alaska (where
he went to sell an ice box to the
Eskimos) with 2l0 pounds of frozen
glacier-Mr. Moran's own contribution
to the art of mixing cocktails at the
welcome-home party he hopes his
friends will give him before the ice
melts, or they forget he's been out Of
town.
Mr.. Moran's arctic expedition, the
explorer was persuaded to admit, was
bowling success, even after the
countrys aid lines cracked down on
Annie Oakleys." Peerless Moran, as
Jim sometimes refers to himself. said
it was as easy to sell an ice box to an
Eskimo as to harpoon a dead whale.
In fact, it was as easy as harpooning
a big very dead whale stranded on the
beach.
It was such a snap Mr.. Moran
talk about it at all. but for the fact
that he encountered untold chat is,

totem poles and the skin OF a 6i2-foot
timber wolf to Charley Pots-to-Lick, a
resident of St Michael's Island, 100
miles south of Nome, Alaska, in the
Kering Sea. The explorer said that
Mrs. Charley Pots-to-Lck was so de-
lighted she made Charley chop out a
new kitchen in the glacier just to
show off the shiny refrigerator so the
other housewives would be jealous.
While in the frozen North Mr..
Moran learned lot about Eskimo
fieas. He said that during the winter
long nights Eskimo fleas entertain the
Eskimos greatly, especially the trained
ones.
For perseverance, dramatic ability,
activity and intelligence, Mr.. Moran
declared, the Eskimo flea never had
a peer on Broadway. He said this flea
is so nimble, quick and cunning, 1t
sometimes takes an Eskimo all winter
just to capture one. When captured,
the f1eas quickly learn to pull sleds,
dance the Lambeth walk, do aero

Secretary for War Leslie Hore-

production to exceed anticipations in

He announced a project whereby
industrial workers aged 38 to so
would operate anti-aircraft guns to
protect their plants in case of air
raids. The men would enter terri
torial army reserve corps, kind Of

Hore-Belisha expressed the hope of

5000 in April, 1885, he said.
Most OF the new anti-aircraft units
would have 3.7-inch guns. which are
said to be in mass production.
Industry Would Keep Experts.
The main purpose of the reported
national register would be to determine
what technical skill was available and
insure that key technicians would be
retained in essential industries. Ex-
perts considered indispensable in in

ing service.
The register would also classify citi-

will be voluntary, with the government
