Lieutenant Commander Stephen O.
3. Yeandle, aide to Read Admiral
Frederick C. Ilillard, coast guard
commandant, hopes to have incorpo
rated in the new craft provisions
| lor carrying two airplanes, equipped
I to land on the ice.
The veteran cutter Bear, for which
the new craft will be named, has
been doing duty in Alaskan waters
since 1885, and probably will make
its last trip in the frozen north this
season. Coast guard headquarters
have written to some 50 officers who
have served on the Bear and other
ships in the ice regions, to obtain
their views on just what features
the new ice-breaker should embody.
A communication recently was dis
patched to Sweden for data on a new
ice-breaker being built there, and
officers have in wind gleaning infor
mation over the world from those
experienced in vessels called upon to
do ice duty.
The old Bear will remain in ser
vice. if possible, until its namesake
is commissioned. The new ship still
is in the blueprint stage, but officers
expect it to be in service by next
season, or certainly in 1927.
Having in mind the recent Nome
epidemic, Lieutenant Commander Ye
| andle wants the new ice-breaker to
be equipped with airplanes as a mea
sure of economy. The aircraft not
only could scout ahead for clear
water, saving the vessel from buck
ing heavy ice packs, but in an emer
gency could rush aid inland.

Stockholm Evicts Tenants
Who Pay Too Little Rent
(By Associated Press)
STOCKHOLM, Apr. 16.—A land
lord who puts out his tenants when
they become too prosperous, in order
to make room for poorer ones, pre
ferably those with children, is the
curious spectacle presented by the
city of Stockholm. As there is a
shortage in housing, the city has
ordered those who can afford to pay
higher rents to move in order to pro
vide homes for those with less means,
many of whom are now living in
temporary shelters.
It is only after careful investiga
tion, however, that the city authori
ties give a tenant notice. Thus, out
of 600 families proposed for ejection
this year, only 200 have been select
ed. These are chiefly bachelors or
childless couples whose incomes are
they pay, and special consideration
out of all proportion to the low rent
has been shown tor aged couples
who have lived for a long time in
the same quarters. By next fall the
city hopes to have adequate dwell
ings for all the war-time squatters.
