March 11.—Ten automatic weather bureaus, scattered about by airships on the Arctic ice, equipped to broadcast weather conditions three times a day for a year without human attendance, are contemplated by the International Society for Exploration of the Arctic Regions by means of aircraft. The plans of the society, generally known as aeroarctic, were described here by Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, its leader. Already an automatic weather observatory has been constructed which tells the temperature, air pressure and humidity by radio for use on a small balloon. In inhabited regions, balloons are often sent up with small recording instruments and the finder is expected to return it to the proper authorities. As there is no one in the Arctic regions to perform this service, it is necessary to provide the radio transmitter. This operates for about two hours, sending its observations back to the- airship base.

Portraying the Art of Home Making .. Widely Variant Is the Meaning of the Two Words, Housekeeper and Homemaker! EVEN the mast perfect housekeeper is not a hopiemaker, for she is too busy keeping pots and pans shiny; too busy beating every last speck of dust from rugs and hangings to have the time to make a real home. She has not learned how to save her precious minutes. THE homemaker’s pots and pans are also snic-and-span; so are her rugs. Labor-saving machines do such monotonous everyday jobs. And because she is not wearied by the dull household chores, the modern woman can make the kind of home she dreamed about when she was being courted. IN our “Home Service Home” on the lower floor of our building, 48 Monument Circle, we have a force of homemaking experts who will cheerfully show you how to use the many labor saving electric appliances with which no home of today is modern unless so equipped.
