li. R. POSTS NOW NUMBER ONLY 3.659 Des Moines. —The staunch blue line of Civil war veterans survivors of the historic internecine conflict of more than sixty years ago, is rapidly being decimated from year to year, according to figures on file at the headquartens, of the Grand Army of the Republic here. In 1922 the number of G. A. R veterans dwindled by 14,512, a decrease from an enrollment Os 85.618 in 1921 to an enrollment of 71,106 at the beginning of 1923. according to figures in the hands of National Commander J. W. Willett here. During that time the number of active posts in the country decreased from 4.218 to 8,659. indicating the abandonment of 559 posts. One by one theK-hite haired veterans of Shiloh, Lookout Mountain, Gettysburg and Chickamauga are answering the call of taps which sounded for so many of their comrades on the field of battle from ‘6l to '65. Preparations are being made here for the national encampment of the G. A. R. which is to be held in Milwaukee this fall. Attendance estimates have been set at 20,000 as a possible maximum figure. Members of the auxiliary organizations including the Sons and Daughters of Veterans, may bring the total attendance up to 50,000, the officials say. Great care is being taken this

AQUATIC LIFE IN INDIANA WATERS Indianapolis, April 28.—Prolific reproduction of fishes in their natural habitat, augmented by common sense fishing laws laws rigidly enforced through an active and determined warden corps, coupled with the success of four hatcheries annually propagating and planting millions of baby fish, is rapidly making Indiana noted for its fine piscatorial sport and incidentally the state is being looked upon as the playground of the nation, in the opinion of George N. Mannfeld. chief of the fish and game division of the state conservation department. In a bulletin issued today Mr. Mannfeld points out that Indiana is unusually blessed with r vast water area. There are thirty rivers, sixty large creeks and many hundred lakes. A rough estimate indicates approximately 350,000 acres of water ir the state and, if in one continuous body, would represent a lake lOQfjniles long and nearly 50 miles wide.

Mr. Mannfeld calls attentior that one of the most beneficia’ j laws for natural reproduction of ] fishes, established a closed or protected season at spawning ( time. Most of the fishes spawn , in our waters in the spring or earlv summer and this is true of the most prized species, the two black basses, bluegill, rock bass, crappie wall-eyed and yellow .perch. This law protects the basses and bluegills from April 30 to June 16, being enacted in 1921. In the two years of its enforcement it has been of immense value in assisting to stock public waters, conservation officials assert. According to the bulletin the conservation department in 1922 at four hatcheries propagated 1,126.600 young bass which were planted in various public water* courses and lakes. With the natural reproduction augmented by reason of the protected season, aquatic life multiplied by the millions and the result today is that Hoosier streams are first class for this form of sport and recreation. That the public is becoming more and more sym«pathetic with proper protection of fishes during spawning time | is evidenced in that 46 persons were arrested for disturbing nests or fishing during the closed season in 1921, and only 30 were arrested for similar offences in 1922. In the opinion of Mr. Mannfeld crappie and rock bass should be included in the list of fishes protected during reproduction time, and if they can be added, then Indiana’s protective laws for the conservation and augmentation of aquatic life will be pretty near ideal. o— Though a shoe has to pass through more than a hundred operations before it is completed, by most modern machinery a shoe is completely finished in 20 minutes.

The Stipulations y A story in seven parts by P. S. NIELSON (All rights reserved.) 111. (Note: Jeannette Lowell's appear in I. as Miss Pearson, which is a mistake, as Miss Pearson is a heroine in another story.— Author.) The Stranger. Rolf Winter has gone back to Harvard. Before he went he had been over to Mrs.* Lowell’s home and said “goodbye,” and Jeannette had followed him in his car to the depot, and wafted the last good speed to him while he in the open car window’ had icknow’ledged the parting. But not one word had been passing between them of love and the future since the day in Mrs. Lowell’s orchard. Rolf had as in jays of the past, been very studious and rather close mouthed which Jeannette, perhaps not appreciated, very carefully avoided to refer to, as she rather would let future be the mastei of life’s dream.

Nevertheless, Jeannette had found time, ever since that me morable day, to leave her mother and home duties for a visit every day to that log of the fallen apple tree, and very carefully sat down on the exact spot, where Mr. Rolf Winter asked her the greatest question for her to answer. Perhaps she wished to enjoy the beautiful scenery from that point of the surorunding landscape as the view was grand. Perhaps she also would follow' her eyes in the direction of Mrs. Lillian Schultze’s 160acre farm, which Mr. Winter, senior, had obtained possession of under rather very mysterious circumstances. She could not see the farm as it was between 5 or 6 miles distant, but she cculd vividly bring to her mind, every detail of the house and Mrs. Schultze s beautiful dining room, of which she was or had been justly proud. The panelled ceiling and cornice, from w’hich a myriad of little electric light in blue glass bulbs, threw an enchanting dim, but enjoyable surroundings. The costly furniture and rich rugs; and the dinner sets of imported china and ■ pure silver which was- the talk of the country people. Mr. Schultze, before his accidental death, had been in the high and costly manufacture of furniture for the elect class and importer of rare rugs and carpets, and he had taken a pride to give his wife and children full city comfort in the beautiful home in the country.

When Mohamed could not get the mountain to come to him, he went to the mountain, so when the farm cannot be moved to the city, the city can be moved to the farm. The city is artificial, the farm genuine, and art can be at home as well in the country. Mr. Schultze's farm and equipment in buildings and implements as well as home comfort surpassed Mr. Winter, and a jealousy had existed between Mr. Winter and Mr. Schultze, and Mr. Winter, many times Mr. Schultze's superior in wealth, could not spare the money for extra luxury, as he expressed himself to buy bonds and forclose an borrowed money was a great deal more valuable, and satisfactorily.

Mrs. Lowell, a rather heavy set woman with a kind motherly face, her hair already tinted with silver threads, her age past the fifties, was borne well and her steps firm. Her eyes, large and mellow and kind, could search the depth of the mind of the visitor, whoever it might be, both in pity and anger. She had a wonderful composure and no one could meet her and not like her. Dinner had been past, dishes washed and put away, and Mrs. Lowell and Jeannette had taken their customary seats on the broad enclosed veranda of the house. The afternoons were always spent on that porch or veranda, when a time for rest or reading could be secured. Down the stone walk from the steps to the main public road in front of the house one could turn to the right and passing on some few hundred feet find a bubbling spring of pure water, that Mrs. Lowell several times , had believed would be well worth the expense to put on the market. But as Jeannette had the need of the money for her education, the time never came when Mrs. Lowell could spare the money. Jeannette was reading. She had received by mail a new novel which was very interest-

ing. Her mother was rocking her chair, quietly with her hands folded in her lap, looking rather earnestly yet meaningless down the road, as if she in her mind was occupied with expectance something might come to pass. Closing her book quietly, Jeannette looking up and a shadow seemed to pass before her l The Stipulations—2) eyes, the shadow' of Mr. Schultze. Surprised and frightened she did not move for several seconds, yes, might be minutes. Her face whitened and immediately ashen gray. Her hands dropped the book and in the fall turned Mrs. Lowell’s head tow’ard her daughter. “What is the matter?” spoke her mother alarmed. “I don’t know,’’ responded Jeannette, w r ho by this time regained control of her mind. “You are sick, white as snow' in the face.” “Mother dear. I cannot explain, but I seemed to look upon the dead Mr. Schultze passing before my face, like a shadow gliding out.” “Mr. Schultze?” alarmingly cried out her mother. “Yes, Mr. Schultze.”

When the two women had regained their composure and their mind more calm, Mrs. Lowell said: “I believe it is now 6 or 7 vears since the death of Mr. Schultze, and it is just about this time of the year when his body was found lying a little space awav from Mr. Winter’s front gate.” “Mother, you never told me about his death.” “Dear daughter, it is more than I can do, since J know' so little about the affair.” “You know’ some more than you ever told me. I feel justified in saying so.” “Perhaps, but it matters not. Lillian, poor, poor woman, I cannot but cry in my soul when I remember how she cried night and day till her mind gave.way. and she w r as taken to the institute for feeble minded.” “What became of her chil-

dren?” “The boy went travelling, some said he went to Africa or South America. The daughters, two of them, one went to China as a missionary, the other, no one knows the least about. “How could Mr. Winter get the farm, the inventorium and the property as it stood? “That question has never been solved!” Before Jeannette could say any more, both women were looking down - the stone walk, where a stranger was approaching, coming toward the house. “Good afternoon, ladies?” “How do you do. “Could, you, ladies, direct me to a farm once belonged to a Mr. Schultze, but now owned or used by Banker Winter?” “You seem to be a stranger. “Yes, I never before set my eyes upon this part of the world I am now roaming on.” “What interest do you have in Mrs. Schultze’s property, if you will pardon my question? said Mrs. Lowell. The stranger, making a cross on his lips, said: “Silence, my lips are sealed.” (Continued)

MEXICO TO BE RECOGNIZED

The Washington administration has reason to believe that conditions in Mexico are getting better every day. This interpreted as indicating that the recognition of Mexico by the United States is drawing near and is soon expected. Added significance was given this statement by information from the Mexican capital to the effect that the legislative reform project, protecting American capital, etc., has been approved.

A GOOD SEASON FOR ICEBERGS Washington, D. C. —This is to be a summer of many icebergs in the Atlantic ocean if the first discoveries of the new science of iceberg forecasting prove to be reliable. The forecasting of the occurrence of icebergs is a deveopment w’hich has sprung from two sources; first the Titanic disaster in 1912 which resulted from collision with a berg and showed the lementable lack of information on the subject, and, second, discoveries by scientists, of the Weather Bureau of fundamental laws of relation be tween weather conditions, ocean currents and the appearance of ( the cold and ghostly ice ships which menace the sea lanes. The Titanic disaster resulted directly in the establishment of an international ice patrol, undei general supervision of the Unit-

ed States government. ' A continuous patrol is maintained bj two staunch Coast Guard cut ters, sea-w’orthy enough to ride out any storm. One cutter takes the lonely patrol amid the tempestuous seas of the North Atlantic for a tw’o w’eeks’ tour of duty and then is relieved by the second, this rotation keeping ur all w’inter and early spring. If is the duty of the patrol to maintain a contact with the southern eastern and w'estern limits of .ice as they vary in position throughout the season and to broadcast this information by radio to al’ ships within the long range of its apparatus. One of the direct reformsbrought about by the Titanic disaster was a change in the pathway of trans-Atlantic steam ers. Prior to the disaster the steamers sailed on the Great Circle, which is -the shortest route because it slips around the bulging bulk of the earth, shortcutting its rotundity. But Great Circle sailing finally was recognized as too dangerous and a more southerly course now is navigated.

Such a course by no means obviates the danger. It has been learned as the result of the ten years study of the bergs since the ice patrol started that their presence is not regular and their cruising radius not fixed. From year to year, the observations show, the icebergs are fewer or more numerous, melt in higher latitudes or come farther to the southward. This has injected an element of uncertainty into seafaring in the North Atlantic which was not recognized before. Lieutenant Edward H. Smith of the United States Q>ast Guard has just submitted a valuable report on meteorological aspects of the ice patrol in the North Atlantic which is expected to be of material aid in perfecting the science of iceberg forecasting thereby lessening the danger to shipping. His studies and report reveal that there are many influences affecting the movement of icebergs and that indeed the iceberg seems to be somewhat temperamental.

The breeding ground of the North Atlantic icebergs is the bleak west coast of Greenland. The determining factor in the number which break away and come bearing down into the open seas rising like glimmering ghosts in the night to affright the seamen or like mountains of jewels to dazzle the eye by day, is the relative calm or tumult of the winds and weather. An iceberg is the vast tip of a glacier. The glacier flows down a polar gorge between* the mountains to the sea. Protruding into the ocean, it is affected by the warmer waters, or, if the water at the foot of the glacier be deep, the trmendous weight is sufficient to break off the end. Then it drifts free and seized by the winds is blown into the ocean currents. It will be seen, therefore, that three important factors are present to be studied and make possible iceberg forecasts. If the winds blow stormily, the ice-

berg is more likely to break off than if it slips down in quiet w’eather to a quiet sea. Second, the prevailing direction of the w’inds will determine what course it will take and how fast it will move. Third, the set of ocean currents in the polar seas governs the course of the berg. It is expected that the number of icebergs in the Atlantic this year will be unusually large because the winter of 1922-23 has been the stormiest the North Atlantic has known for many years. Gales of cyclonic intensity have swept the northern seas and there has been a rapid running of the ocean currents. All over the -world meteorologists have been amazed at unusual weather phenomena during the past year and the harvest of bergs is expected to add another chapter to the unusual occurrences.

Lieutenant Smith thinks that h he government should establish year round meteorological stations in the far north to send out frequent reports by radio on the condition of the weather. By scientific charting, these reports could be built up in such a manner as to indicate weeks, perhaps months in advance, just what mariners may expect in the way .of icebergs in the spring and summer.

The very name of iceberg has >o cold and forbidding a sound that the casual person naturally would assume that the winter season is the time when these monsters stalk about the seas. That is not so. In winter the bergs are moored in chains of ice to the glaciers whence they come. It is in the balmy days of spring and summer that they haunt the seaways. The Titanic, it will be remembered, was sailing on a smooth sea, in the middle of April when she crashed into the berg that sent her to the bottom with 1,500 souls. High as many bergs tower above the waterline, by far their greater bulk is beneath the surface. A mere fraction extends into the air. This means that a ship must give a berg a wide berth, for a few feet under the surface its lower portion may extend to a much wider circumference than is apparent. It also means that a vast amount of solid ice is down beneath the surface where it gets the full pulling force of the ocean currents.

The study of ocean currents has developed the interesting fact that there may be one current flowing in one direction on the surface of the sea while another flows in an almost opposite direction beneath it. Thus, the warm Gulf Stream flows from the south. Heat rises. In nature, then, the warm water of the Stream stays on top. The frigid waters of the southward flowing Labrador Current dive beneath the Gulf waters. If a berg is small and shallow, it will be moved in one direction by the surface current;; if its greatest' bulk is far below the surface the diving, submarine current will determine its course. Lieutenant Smith believes a government outpost should be stationed somewhere in the bleak region of the Atlantic. With such a post, life observes could watch the pageant of the passing oergs and report them by radio.- Stations further south could report their direction and progress. Observations of winds, currents and the temperature of the water would give additional data which would enable the experts to determine on the speed and destination of the bergs.

While the warm water, flowing north in the Gulf Stream, seeks the surface and usually claims it, there is another element which adds further uncertainty to this science* Salt water is heavier than fresh water. The water of the Arctic seas is much fresher than any other seawater. It consists very largely of the melted snows and the ice of the polar regions which of course are fresh. Being lighter than the heavily saline waters of the northward flowing Gulf Stream, these Arctic waters, drifting south, also seek the surface. There is constant warfare between these influences. The warm water flowing north is forever attempting to stay on top of the cold northern water while the fresh northern water forever seeks to flow over the heavy salt brine from the souths This new science is in its infancy but, already has made rapid strides and in a few years the iceberg probably will be but little m enace to the ship equipped with radios
