Alast ka, Canada and Siberia, in the opinion of ,\ llhjahnu Stefansson, famed Arctic explorer _ He gives several reasons for his prediction, an mi portant one being the economy in raising reindeer, w Men live on grass in summer and on lichens and bushes in winter. Besides, reindeer meat may be kept in natural cold storage in the far North until it is desired to ship it out, either during the summer months via Bering Sea or during the winter months over the Alaska Railroad to the ocean terminal, the Port of Seward. Another reason for the predicted decline of cattle as a food source is the increase of tuberculosis, which is making serious inroads on the Argentine herds, and threatens American herds also. And the possibility of having to eat reindeer meat is nothing to be alarmed about, Stefansson informed the wide world, as its taste is little different from beef. Whatever else may be said of the Congression al Record, it is generally quite free from typograph ical errors. But a proofreader let a slip a few days ago, as a result of which a member was quoted against ‘The high cost of loving.” Ambassador Dawes went down to Santo Domingo and showed them how to revise their fiscal system and save a two million dollar annual deficit by firing a number of useless governmental employees. Now, if he could be turned loose at Washington, the treasury could declare a dividend. Judge Gemmil of Chicago declares that alimony is America’s greatest curse. But the Judge, you know, is a man. GOOD OLD DAYS Elbert Hubbard—God rest his soul—was a man who spoke right out in meetin’. One time he told about a little old saloon on Pennsylvania avenue in Washing ton that had an alley entrance. At some times of the day, he said, you could find justices of the supreme court, senators and members of the cabinet standing at the old bar, calling the bartender by his first name and betting a dollar down and a doliar to go on the terrier catching the next rat. Elbert said the judges and sen ators moved whole sections of case whiskey in order to give the terrier a chance. Blondes blush more than brunettes, according to a scientific investigator. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that'blondes blush an awful lot. Archbishop Usher’s figures showed that the world was created in 4004 B. C. A famous British physicist says it is three billion years older than that. What is your guess? An eminent geologist says the world is in the pro cess of redistribution of precious and other metals thru wear and tear, and that a million years hence Mother Earth is due to resemble them.
