A YOUNG EXPLORER.
An American explorer, Harold
Noice. formerly a member of Vil
hjalmur Stefansson’s party, is work
ing- his way eastward on foot along
the route of the Northwest passage
on the Northern rim of the con
tinent He expects to reach the
Hudson Bay country and civiliza
tion sometime next summer.
Storker Storkerson. formerly sec
ond in command of the Stefansson
party, who arrived at Seattle re
cently from the Far North, reports
that Noice, accompanied only by
Eskimos, is proceeding slowly and
mapping portions of the coast lines
as he goes. A stTetch of the coast
line of Victoria Land, heretofore
unmapped, is being charted by
Noice.
Noice may visit the interior of
Victoria Land, which, according tn
all reports, has never been explored
by white men. All explorers, trad
ers and trappers who have touched
Victoria Land nave only journeyed
along its shores. Stefansson found
the tribe of “blond Eskimos" in the
Victoria Land country.
Noice has no ship and but few
supplies. He depends almost entire
ly upon his gun for his living.
Stefansson. his former chief, who
is noted among explorers as being
able to live off the barren white
lands of the North, probably taught
Noicc how to get about without car
rying many supplies.
Noice's parents live in Seattle.
The explorer is young in years, hav
ing graduated from a Seattle high
school about eight years ago. He
came North in 1912 with Captain
Louis Lane on the schooner Polar
Bear. When Stefansson purchased
the Polar Bear from Lane. Noice
shipped as a member of the crew.
Later, when Stefansson decided to
return to the outside world. Noice
left the party and remained in the
North.
BORDER TROUBLES.
Seekers for entertainment of a
more unrestrained character than is
offered in the United States will be
greatly hampered in their efforts to
cross the California border into
Mexico if the recommendations of
the San Diego county grand jury
are heeded.
Resolutions passed by the grand
jury protest against the establish
ment in Tiajuana, Low’er California,
of various resorts, and ask federal
aid in proper border regulations to
“prevent Americans crossing the
border to patronize any resorts not
permitted to operate on this side of
the international boundary line."
The grand jury takes official no
tice of the announcements in the
public press and otherwise of the
"purpose to establish at Tiajuana.
across the international boundary
line in Lower California, a horse
racing, gambling, drinking. and
sporting resort.”
The preamble in addition states:
“Whereas, such a resort, if estab
lished, must be supported by Am
erican money and citizens, and will
prey upon American men and wom
en. as the people and resources of
Lower California are wholly inade
quate to support or maintain such
a Monte Carlo, or institution; and
i “Whereas, the detrimental and de
; grading effects of such a resort will
I i
[fall most heavily upon our county
and city, resulting in much unfa
vorable notoriety and disrepute, and
making our city and county the
rendezvous of lawless elements, in
curring the burden of taxation to
maintain public order.”
NEW JAP AMBASSADOR.
Kijuro Shidehara, vice - foreign
minister, who was recently appoint
ised Japanese ambassador to the
United States, is regarded in Japan
as one of the most capable of Jap
anese diplomats. He has climbed
rapidly in the service and at the
comparatively early age of 47 is en
trusted with the post at Washington,
which Japanese now regard as their
most important foreign diplomatic
post.
Mr. Shidehara married Miss Masa
ko Iwasaki, sister of Baron Kyuya
iwasaki, a member of the great
Japanese Iwasaki family, which
shares with the Mitsui family indus
trial and financial leadership in the
Japanese empire.
Mr. Shidehara has served in China
and England and was for some time
councillor at the embassy at Wash
ington. being transferred from there
to London, and subsequently named
minister to Holland. Shortly after
the outbreak of the war he was re
called to be vice-foreign minister,
and during the war he handled all
! international problems which were
developed by the war. He speaks
English and French with facility.

ENGLAND PLANS
EDUCATED ARMY
OF THE FUTURE
LONDON. — Educational training
in the British army, which was be
gun among the forces occupying the
Rhine, not only is to be continued
jin the new army, but it will be vir
tually compulsory. It is, an army
order states, “to be regarded as an
essential element in the making of
a soldier and an army.” Steps
have been taken to continue educa
tional training for all soldiers going
overseas.
An official told The Associated
Press correspondent it was under
stood that the three cardinal divi
sions of higher commercial and tech
nical education, which were taught
on the Rhine, will be retained and
developed.
According to President H. A. L.
Fisher of the board of education,
“the mere recognition of the fact
that education is henceforth to be
an essential part of army training
is one of those great steps forward
in the social progress of the world
for which the war has been respon
sible.”
“Inevitably," the correspondent's
informant pointed out, “the spread
of education in the army will en
sure an increase of efficiency which
will be a great gain for the army
itself. A military movement must
in the future depend even more
than at present upon the intelligent
initiative of the private.
“‘Life in the army for the com
mon soldier will be far more plea
sant. Educated young men will give
to barrack life a good tone. They
will maintain a high standard of
decency and cleanliness, and they
will bring about an increase in that
esprit de eorps and social spirit
which make life at schools and uni
versities so attractive. In fact, there
is no reason why the army should
not come to be regarded as the
people’s university course. The in
fluence of this military university
upon national character will be of
incalculable value."

“How are you going to prove it?"
“I’ll tell you. I’ll hit you in the

then we’ll both run home and tell
our dads about it, and then they’ll
both get mad and start a scrap, and
you and I will stand by and see
which of them wins.”

WOMAN’S STATEMENT
WILL HELP NENANA
“I hated cooking because whatever
I ate gave me sour stomach and a
bloated feeling. I drank hot water
and olive oil by the gallon. Nothing
helped until I tried simple buck
thorn bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed
in Adler-i-ka." Because it flushes
the ENTIRE bowel tract completely
Adler-i-ka relieves ANY CASE sour
stomach, gas or constipation and
prevents appendicitis. The INSTANT
action is surprising. A. D. Thomp
