First scaled »uccesa- fully after years of effort in the win ter of 1923, they report that during the present winter they will go 1923 enough tetter to make the conquest permanent.

Hooplngarner, executive of ;he American Construction coun cil, in describing some of the new aspects of winter construction, says: "This greater stabilization has been secured by relatively simple methods. Lesson From Experience. “Experience has shown that work on large buildings, whether of steel, niasonr.. or concrete construction, can be condu ted with safety In temper atures dov n to 20 or 25 degrees above zero. After that salamanders to pro vide beat, tarpaulins to keep It and hanging scaffolds to hold men nnd materials where they are needed have solved the problem of keeping out the cold and frost and permitting winter operations to go ahead In many cases at more even temperatures and greater economy. Records of con tractors over periods of years have shown an average of about fourteen days, with scarcely over thirty-one days’ maximum In any one year in which the weather necessitated that the precautions of winter building be taken.” Mr. Hooplngarner advises the build ing Investing public to recognize the necessity of exercising special care in securing responsible and thorough ly skilled architects, engineers and contractors in the performance of winter work. Four per cent more contracts were let for new building In the first 11 months of 1924, ended November 30, than in the full 12 months of 1923 in the 36 states covered by the Dodge Geernert, who was fifty-one years old nt the time, together with Cogge, his companion sluicekeeper, supervised the operation of the sluices to admit the water nnd manipulated them In a wny to avoid extending the Inundation west of the railway bank, where the j>ene- trntlon of the wnter would have ham pered the Belgian defenders, whose line of defense had twice been broken and re-established nt great cost before the expedient of opening the sluices, at Geeraert's suggestion, was adopted und successfully curried through. Japs Settle in Tennessee Memphis, Tenn.—The movement to place thousands of Japanese farmers In the rich portions of Arkansas be tween Marlon nnd Joyner, Ark., began to take form several days ago when two families of Japanese from Cali fornia settled upon this vast acreage and, according to Denn Adams, Memphis realtor, Japanese have In corporated and proposed to buy sev eral thousand acres of land In that section nnd colonlz.e It with 50.000 Japanese, the Commercial-Appeal says. The proposed colony will engage solely In farming. British Science Studies Habits of the Herring London.—The humble herring, sta pie breakfast diet In thousands of British homes, Ims become the subject of much research, anil two British scientists recently went to Norway to acquire a more detailed knowledge of his temperament and habits. Fisheries authorities point our that the huge catches of herring in the North sen of recent years have threat ened the supply and the migrations and seasonal distribution of fish of different ages nre being studied In un effort to prevent the decimation of the runs, such as happened in the case of salmon In the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia walers. Thousands of herring have been cap tured and marked for further idetitifi cation, then released, and fishermen advised to notify the fisheries develop ment commission If they are caught In the future. Another means of determining the migration routes of fish of different nges Is by counting the annual growth of rings which appear on the scales. report», »ay» Mr. Hooplngarner. Th» total figure for the 11 month» was $4,100,000,000. Compared with th» same 11 months of 1923 the In crease was 13 per tint. With prices In the main slightly lower than the year before, be »ay» the com parisons are conservative. Mr. Hooplngarner finds winter ac tivity producing a relative increase In prices, although price» for the year as a whole »how a slight decrease. Previous to last year the winter de mand for materials was relatively small. "It Is well to note the tact,” he observes “that with a greater vol ume of winter construction there will be a tendency toward higher relative prices for materials, and possibly for labor, than have been considered nor mal for the winter season. Such a condition, however, will not vitiate the basic advantages of winter work." SOLVE SECRET OF “GENTLEMAN BUM” Brother* Trace History of Cul tured Beach Comber. Bay Shore, N, Y.—Photographs ot the "gentleman beach comber” who committed suicide In bls hut on Fire island, were Identified by relatives as those of Andrew Sherman McMillen, sixty, a contractor and former lawyer, who disappeared from Bridgeville, Pa., seven years ago. Identity was established by McMil len's brothers, Charles E. and Georg» B. McMillen of Bridgeville, and George H. Baird, Pittsburgh banker. McMillen’s brothers examined let ters, trinkets and friends of “old Mac," as the man was known, until they found a photograph of him taken only a month ago. It was the picture of a bent and broken old man, with a flowing beard and white hair. McMillen once was an attorney In Bridgeville. Then he became a con tractor and constructed many bridges In suburbs of Pittsburgh. He was a Mason and an Elk. Seven years ago he was divorced and shortly thereafter disappeared. About five years ago “Old Mac” moved into a hut on Fire Island. It was learned, to become a beach comber. There he gathered seaweed In season and acquired scores of friends among wealthy summer resi dents. Bundles of newly received holiday greetings were found In the McMillen hut. Inquiry disclosed that “Old Mac” had Journeyed to Brooklyn and New York to return many of the greetings. But none of those who knew him best had been able to glean an Item of his past history. They knew him as a cultured old gentleman in a beach comber’s garb, who liked to chat on Intellectual sub jects and to piny with children, who t unversed In several languages and who played the violin well. State police knew and liked him ami so did the young fellows In the United States naval radio station. He used to visit and chat with them and sometimes have them apply emer gency kit medicines to alleviate the pain of Internal diseases for which he several times had been operated upon and which are believed to have driven him to suicide. One of the naval radio operators a month ago took the snapshot which enabled McMillen’s brothers to iden tify him. Bank books Indicated that the bench comber once had $3.000 on deposit In The new Soderbelje canal In Sweden has Just been opened with much a local bank. But when he died the cefemony.

It was after the surrender of Ant- wvh>, when the German troops were advancing victoriously uervss Belgium, that Geernert'» knowledge of the work ings of the Belgian sluice system came Into play, saving not only the Belgian artfly from complete destruction but bringing about the definite blocking of the road to Calais to the Germans. When the sluices were opened the water began flowing Into the flat coun try along the eastern side of the rail road bank from Nleuport to Dlxmude. At first Its progress was not notice able, the wnter being absorbed by the ground. Within 48 hours, however, the ground became Juicy and a few hours Inter the whole country was trans formed Into a muddy plain with the German men nnd horses struggling des perately to free themselves from the entngllng slime. Gradually the wnter begnn to rise nbove the ground, one foot, two feet, nnd at last three feet. A faithful ally of the Belgians, the flood paralysed the Invnder. When the Germans had dlacovered what was going on it was Miss Martha Ostenso, shy llttl» twenty-four-year-old school teacher from tho Northwest, arrived in New York the other day to receive a cash prize of $13,500 for her novel, “The Passionate Flight," which was ad judged the best in a contest held by Dodd, Mead 4 Co, Pictorial Review and Famous Player* Lasky. Her novel is to be published In magazine and book form and then screened. Miss Ostenso was born in Norway, coming to this country at the age of two.
