ONE JOURNAL IN GREENLAND
And the Editor of That One Had to
Teach His Subscribers How to
f Read It.
Journalism in Greenland Is In rather
a primitive stage, according to the
captain of a British bark. The cap
tain makes frequent voyages to Green
land and is held to be an authority on
conditions In that country.
The one editor In Greenland is a
Dane named Moeller, who conducts
the only newspaper and enjoys tine
singular distinction of printing the pa
per for the natives and teaching them
to read It.
Mr. Moeller is not only the editor
and proprietor; he is the reporter,
printer, distributor and business
manager, and every two weeks he
makes a long journey on skates to dis
pose of his journal.
Originally it contained only a few
crude illustrations, but gradually
other matter was Introduced, until now
It contains articles on the affairs of
the day.
This man actually taught his sub
scribers to read his paper, first intro
ducing words, then sentences, until
Bow his subscribers are able to read
articles on any topic he cares to write
about.
FORMED NEW VOCAL CORD
Tissues, After Operation, Grew To
gether, and Voice Is Said to
Be Improved.
Tn three out of lour cases In which
Dr. H. Burger resected the vocal
cords the tissues grew together to
form a new vocal cord. He reports
to the Nederiandsch Tijdshrift v.
Geneeskunde (Amsterdam) that the
more radical the operation on the side
wall of the throat the more the new
cord approximated normal.
In all these cases the diagnosis of
malignant tumor was beyond question,
and the operation was done through
a slit in the thyroid cartilage. No at
tempt was made to suture this after
ward. The voice is good In all but
one, who still is hoarse. The voice
Is very much better than in other
cases in which merely the growth it
aelr was resected an J the rest of the
vocal cord left. The repair after this
Is much less perfect. In one of his
cases the repair was so perfect that
tn examining with the laryngoscope a
year later there was some doubt as
to the operated side.—New York
v o | cano | n Action.
A volcano in action was witnessed
about six weeks ago by the captain of
the British freighter Bounty, off the
West African coast. The skipper said
the Bounty was about five miles off
shore when he observed smoke pour
ing high and profusely out of a peak
Inward from the Bight of Blafra, near
the boundary line between Kamerun
and Nigeria. Thinking he might be
of assistance in the event of disaster
to the villages near the seacoast he
put in toward shore and went to the
land in a lifeboat. He said the smok
ing peak was about 11,000 feet above
sea level and on its westward side
he observed large streams of lava.
Finding no signs of human life along
the shore he went back to the freight
er and proceeded on his course.
Put Out Fires With Glass Balls.
A glass ball, the glass being thin and
easily shattered, and about the size of
an egg, filled with a standard flame
killing liquid, is now being put on the
market.
Most fires can be extinguished with
little danger ’and little loss If proper
means are available for prompt use.
Experiments have shown that a few
of these new glass bails or fire-outa,
as they are called, will quickly snuff
out a bad blaze.
In the past most fire extinguishers
have been rather high-priced. This
new extinguisher is a notable excep
tion—the three balls which comprise
a set being retailed for only 80 cents
per set. A set of three balls comes in
an ingenious carton which can be
hung from the wall.
Not Pretty Music.
Dorothy, three years old, lives at
New Albany. Her father took her to
the barber shop to have her hair
trimmed, and the electric clippers al
most drove the little girl Into spasms
of fear despite the kind assurances
that they would not hurt her. She
had a big audieace before the task
was completed.
Next day Dorothy went to visit a
neighbor who lived near the barber
shop. Shortly after her arrival she
heard music and inquired Its location.
On being Informed that it was at the
barber's she replied:
"Well, I don’t think his music Is

GARVAN DEMANDS
HARDINGCLEAR HIM
Writes to President That He
Has Been Grossly Mis
led by Daugherty.
New York.—Flatly refusing to return
to the United States government a
single chemical patent right owned by
the Chemical Foundation, Inc., of
which he is president, Francis P. Gar
van, in a spirited and energetic letter
to President Harding, asserted that
the President, “grossly misled by the
attorney-general,” Is, for the first time
in American history, attempting to
abrogate a solemn Executive order of
a predecessor, and Is acting, moreover,
on information “furnished by German
agents and interpreted by lawyers
whose sole knowledge of the war and
Its lessons is derived from association
with German clients.”
Absolute legality In the sale of 4,700
and ocfd former German patents to the |
Foundation, and complete publicity in
the organization and operation of this
quasi-public institution, together with !
the highest of ethical motives, are j
earnestly maintained by Mr. Garvan in
his communication, and he asserts with |
emphasis that no person connected
with the Foundation has ever made a j
dollar out of It, or ever could do so (
under its charter and by-lawa, himself !
least of all; he fortifies that statement j
with figures which show shat the capi
tal of the Institution consisted of $428,-
900, all of which has been spent In the
purchase of the patents and in educat
ing the people through schools and
colleges and in the encouragement of
chemical societies, and says that the
Foundation income from licenses bare
ly meets the modest running expenses.
All of these financial details have
long been available, Mr. Garvan re
minds President Harding, and demands
that the President ascertain the truth
and tell the people whether the Foun
dation and Its head have deserved the
abuse they have received. «
“Gave All and Got Abuse”
"It has given its all,” Mr. Garvan
writes. “You can take away nothing
but the opportunity of service. It was
all we got from the government. It I
Is all we have.
“Mr. President, you have had the I
temerity to Impugn the honor of the '
gentlemen who boast a part In the
great work of building up or preserv
ing the possibility of progress In or
ganic chemistry for America. You have
again been misinformed as to the
nature of the trust we bore. That trust
was not for the German Kartel, the
owner of practically all the Important j
patents, who had received them under
the unthinking graciousness of laws
they had Induced. That trust was for
the American people, their industrial
Independence and for the safety and
health of their children and their chil
dren's children.”
At the outset of his letter Mr. Garvan
states that he has forwarded to the
Allen Property Custodian the Chemical
Foundation's formal answer to his
demand, an answer “as an American
corporation ready at all time* to de
fend Its rights In the courts/* but that
the public In whose Interests Foun-'
dation was organized, is entitled to be
fully informed as to the circumstances
under which the demand was made and
the reason why It Is unqualifiedly re
fused. The demand itself, Mr. Garvan
asserts, together with the letter written ,
by the President and the statement
made by Attorney-General Daugherty,
"demonstrate that you, Mr. President,
have been grossly misled by the attor
ney-general, both as to the law and the
facts of the case."
Eliminating “Enemy Interest**
Thereupon Mr. Garvan contends (1)
that the attorney-general has listened
exclusively to German agents, which is
no Investigation: (2), that the United
States government has no interest in
the suit brought by the Foundation to
determine the ownership of funds held
by the treasury: (3), that when Presi
dent Wilson authorized the sale of the
German patents, neither the President,
secretary of state nor alien property
custodian was. under the law. in the
remotest sense a trustee for the Ger
man enemies; (4), that specific power
to sell the patents was granted by Con
gress after full committee hearings on
November 4. 1918, and on December 8,
1918, President Wilson, vested with
power to supervise all sales, authorized
Acting Secretary of State Frank L.
Polk to approve the sale of the German
chemical and other patents; (5), that
on February 26, 1919, Polk ordered the
sale in the public interest, noting that
a public sale was not in the best in
terests of the public because it would
offer opportunity for the patents to get
into the hands of speculators and
monopolists, and that the Chemical
Foundation, obligated to grant non
exclusive licenses, was the best means
for “eliminating alien interests hostile
to American industries and of the ad
vancement of chemical and allied In
dustries in the United States;” (6),
that President Wllyon, returning from
abroad, confirmed Polk's order on Feb
ruary 18, 1920, with this comment:,
“My reasons for the foregoing determi
nation and order are stated In the said
orders of Frank L. Polk . . . and In
addition thereto, the public interest
will be best served by the elimination
of any enemy Interest adverse to
American citizens arising by reason of
said choses In action, or rights, Inter
ests and benefits under said agree
ments . . .
“This sale,” Mr. Garvan continue,
“was made In the full light of all
branches of the government and Id the
full light of publicity. The Idea of Its
formation was the result of the Inti
mate knowledge of the past use of these
patents in n manner hostile to the
united States' Interests, and In full
consultation with all of the executives,
of the government, the experts of our 1
army and navy, and leaders of our
chemical business organizations and
the heads of all our scientific and re
search organizations. I do not ask you
to accept my present statement of the
matter, but Insert here an extract from
the report of A. Mitchell Palmer, filed
with the President February 22, 1919.
and by him forwarded to the Congress,
and by that Congress made a pub’lc
document and most widely commented
on by the press of the country.”
Palmer's Version of It
Mr. Palmer stated in the course of
the report refered to by Mr. Garvan:
“These patents, as had already been
indicated, formed a colossal obstacle to
the development of the American dye
stuff industry. Evidently they had not
been taken out with any intention of
manufacturing In this country or from
any fear of American manufacture
. . . upon consideration it seemed that
these patents offered a possible solu
tion for the problem, hitherto unsolv
able, of protecting the new American
dye industry against German competi
tion after the war . . . The Idea was
accordingly conceived that if the Ger
man chemical patents could be placed
in the hands of any American Institu
tion strong enough to protect them, a
real obstacle might be opposed to Ger
man importation after the war, and at
the same time the American industry
might be freed from the prohibition en
forced by the patents against the man
; ufacture of the mnst valuable dye
stuffs. Accordingly these considerations
. were laid before various associations of
| chemical manufacturers, notably the
, Dye Institute and the American Manu
facturing Chemists’ Association. The
I suggestion was met with an instan
' taneous and enthusiastic approval, and
as a result a corporation has been or
ganized to be known as the Chemical
; Foundation (Inc.), In which practically
every important manufacturer ( will be
I a stockholder, the purpose of which Is
to acquire by purchase these German
i patents and to hold them as a trustee
for American industry. . . . The first
president of the Chemical Foundation
will be Francis P. Garvan of the New
York bar, to whose clear vision and In
defatigable Industry I am chiefly In
debted for the working out of this plan.
The combination was not objection
able to public policy, since It was so
organized that any genuine American,
whether a stockholder of the com
pany or not, could secure the benefits
of the patents on fair and equal terms.”
A Quasl-Public Idea
Mr. Garvan goes on to state that at
that time he was a dollar a year man,
with no expectation whatever of be
coming alien property custodian; that
it was only when Attorney-General
Gregory resigned and Palmer was ap
pointed attorney-general that Palmer
asked him to take the custodian's
j place. Three months later, he writes,
he testified before the Ways and Means
! Committee of the house: “The founda
i tlon of the Chemical Foundation was
an effort to form an organization to
1 represent as nearly as possible at that
' time the public Interests. Judge In
graham of New York 6nd Judge Gray
of Delaware had charge of drawing
our charter and our trust agreement
and our certificate of Incorporation.
We have endeavored to make It as
nearly a public institution as our laws
allow, and at the same time to have
it an official organization. We wanted
to sell these patents to the govern
ment, and if there had been any
method by which we could make them
a working force and still have them
owned and controlled by the govern
ment, It would have relieved us of a
great deal of responsibility, and If
there Is at this time any suggestion for
modification or amendment of our plan
which will Insure In the minds of the
committee a more definite and certain
fulfillment of the Intention and pur
poses of our organization I am certain
that the Chemical Foundation and all
t Its stockholders and all who are Inters
ested in it would be glad to conform
H to the wishes of the committee, be
cause, in so far as we have public rec
ognition and public support and gov
ernment recognition and government
support, we become more efficient and
become more ahle to carry out the In
tentions which are In our hearts and
minds.”
' Mr. Garvan states that the total or
gross income of the Foundation has
averaged $143,216.65 per year. The run
ning expenses, bare overhead, have
averaged $121,971.35, a net excess of
$21,245.30 or .049 per cent on the $428,-
900 invested, allowing nothing for de
preciation. The average life of the
patents is eight years, so that 12%
per cent of the $271,850 cash paid for
the patents, or $38,981 per year,
should be subtracted from the appar
ent net receipts per year, which leaves
an actual annual operation deficit of
$12,735.70. In educational work, Mr.
Garvan informs the President, the
Foundation has spent $264,017.85, the
' entire balance of its capital.
Quotes English Prediction
Firmly maintaining that the Founda
tion is the keystone of the wall raised
to protect the American people from
German chemical domination, Mr. Gar
van maintains such protection is Indis
pensable to the future happiness, health
' and safety of the American people, and
I quotes from a recent open letter to
parliament written by James Morton,
i largest carpet manufacturer of Eng
land, “Organic chemistry is the key to
j the world of new values,' and that
America in five years’ time will have
dye works and general chemical works
I equal to Germany.
As regards the development of or-
I ganlc chemistry for national defense,
! Mr. Garvan calls to his aid testimony
. by Marshal Foch and the late Field
, Marshal Sir Henry Wilson to the gen
, eral conclusion that a nation thorough
,ly equipped chemically may almost
, guarantee the peace of the future. And
as regards Its Importance In the de-
J velopment of medicine he quotes Prof.
Julius Stiglitz of the University of
. Chicago, world famous chemist:
“The pitiful calls of our hospitals for
I local anaesthetics to alleviate suffering
, on the operating table, the frantic ap
. peals for the hypnotic that soothes the
[ epileptic and staves off his seizure, the
> almost furious demands for remedy
• after remedy that came In the early
years of the war, are still ringing In
, the hearts of many of us. No wonder
I that our small army of chemists is
grimly determined not to give up the
i independence In chemistry which the
, war achieved for us I Only a widely
! enlightened public, however can In
sure the permanence of what far see
j Ing men have started to accomplish
, tn developing the power of chemistry
I through research in every domain
j which chemistry touches.”
, 1 “These,” Mr. Garvan concludes,
. “were the thoughts which were in the
I minds of the men who knew the war
and Its lessons when they formed the
! Chemical Foundation.”
