American Explorer in Frozen
North Makes Important
Discoveries.
DIDN’T KNOW ABOUTTffi WAR
Party Was Cut Off From Civilized
World for Four Years—Rescue
Ship Appeared When Food
Ran Very Lov*.
New York.—The return to civiliza
tion of Daniel B. MacMillan. American
explorer, brings to a successful close
one of the most remarkable stays In
the ice of the roof of the globe record
ed in the annals of Arctic exploration.
I nusual good and unusual bad luck
marked the expedition’s history. No
less than five ships were used to get
the party into northern Greenland, and
on the two ur -uccessful and one suc
cessful aitemnts to bring MacMillan
back home again, but not a single
person involved lost his life, and
there was no more serious casualty
than the loss of frozen toes. This Is
a unique record for an Arctic expedi
tion lasting four years.
Although {Tie enterprise cost about
?2ou.o00 and was one of the most, if
not the most, eostiy ever known, sci
entists of the American Museum of
Natural History here ar - frankly de
lighted today with the wealth of new
information and the specimens of min
erals and the fauna and flora of the
frozen North which Mc Millan brings
back.
Most uninitiated p* -sons think an
Arctic expedition con-ists of i>eriods
of intense labor inters-rsed with long,
aggravating waits in . solute idleness,
while the weather prevents traveling
far.
But this is a mis-:ke. MacMillan
was working all the tone. Even when
forced to stay near Us main base at
Etah. he kept busy, v ry busy. That is
why says MacMillan he found the last
four years the shc- est of his life.
Many times he wei 10 to 40 hours
without sleep, purs ag his scientihc
studies. And he had considerable time
to devote to these studies, for actual
exploring can only .e done in three
months out of the twelve.
MacMi.lan is eng* - to return to this
bleak but interesting region of the
north p. ;e and will undoubtedly do so
a» soon as he can :.nd sufficient finan
cial 1 lacking
Will Fly Over Ice.
H:s next trip will h» something en
tirely novel in Arctic exploration, for
he proposes to us« an airplane to widen
his radius of action, "J expect to do
as mu !. in a day with an airplane a>
I can do in 20 daj > with the dogs." ho
expiained.
MacMillan was greatly pleased to
learn of the progress in aviation
which has taken place on account of
the great war during his stay away
from the world. He thinks alrpiane
cons'ruction has now been carried to
a point of perfection where he can
rely on certain types of flyers as fully
as he does on his “huskies" and his
sn< wshoes.
MacMillan left Sydney. N. S.. (board
the Piana in July. 1913. The ship was
wrecked off Barge Point, Labrador, but
was finally pulled off and taken to Sr.
John's, where the supplies were ini in
ferred to the Erik.
Three Rescue Attempts. _
In the second ship the party reached
El ah. on the west Greenland coast.
August 20.
It was more than two years ago that
the first relief expedition was sent out.
Ih-ctor Grenfell's Labrador missionar>
schooner, the George B. duett, started
in July. 1915. for Etah. but was unable
to go through the heavy floes of ice en
countered.
Dr. Edmund O. Hovey of the Ameri
can museum then fined out the Den
mark. but this ship failed also, and is
believed to be still frozen in the ice
off the Green land coast. It was Capt.
Robert Bartlett, companion of Peary
on the trip when he reached the north
pole, who finally *hae&eded w here the
others had failed. He used the staunch
sealing steamer Neptune, and by his
feat he adds considerably to the repu
tation he made on his several voyages
with Peary. Bartlett says the ice on
this trip was the heaviest he had ever
met. MacMillan w-as also one of
Peary’s lieutenants on the polar trip.
Many of the things MacMillan has
accomplished in the far North will be
appreciated only by the scientific
world. But even the layman can un
derstand his work in mapping a great
stretch of the coast of Ellesmere
Land, across Smith's sound to the
west of Greenland: discovering 'he
second biggest glacier in the northern
hemisphere; locating two new islands
and disproving the existence of two
more, showing that Crocker Land, seen
by Peary from the summit of an im
mense cliff, is only a mirage, and pene
trating many miles over the frozen
ocean beyoqjJ tpe point wjiere Crocker
Laud was supposed to begin.
When rescued by Bartlett at Etah.
MacMillan and the members of his
party were living on dog biscuit and
ducks' eggs, but were in good health.
They would probably have endured
severe hardships next winter, however,
if they had not been reached in time.
MacMillan crossed Smith's sound
once every year he spent in the North,
and every rime cam*- through without
a mishap, a remarkable feat in itself.
He found rich mineral-bearing rocks

Miss Hannah Patterson of Pitts

nature of these discoveries is not vet
entirely disclosed. A complete report
will he given out by the American
museum. The expenses of the trip
were borne by the museum, the Ameri
can Geographical society, the Univer
sity of Illinois and various persons in
terested in Arctic exploration.
" ith his thousands of specimens so
valuable to the scientific world. Mac
Millan br.ngs hack »n insignificant tin
box. which to one person in the world
means more that, a hundred nar-whale
skeletons. MacMillan told the story
of this little box as follows:
"I gave this box to a little Eskimo
girl, who will cry her eyes out over the
loss of it. She insisted upon coming
with us up from Etah. Forty miles
from there we had to chase her off the
boat, and in her hurry she left this
tin box. She can comfort herself with
the other treasures priceless to her. 1
gave her a little silver watch, a tooth
brush. bits of gaudy cloth, a rnrtrap.
some paracn which she used as
chewing gum and a piece of soap. 1
first saw the child when I came north
with Peary on the trip when he found
the pole.”
W. Elmer Ekblaw and all the mem
bers of the party gave high praise to
Dr. Morton P. Porsild. a noted Danish
scientist, head of the Danish govern
ment scientific station at Godhaven.
Disco island. Greenland. Ekblaw was
the first American scientist to spend
any time with Doctor Porslid. although
students from several European coun
tries have been sent to the station for
instruction.
"Doctor Porsild is doing work in bot
any. geology, astronomy and zoology
and :n the study of Eskimo culture
which will gain recognition from the
whol< scientific world." said Ekblaw.
“He and his wife have been at God
haven «ince 1905; their daughter was
born there anti has never been out of
Greenland. He initiated his work and
the Danish government was so im
pressed by its value that they allow
him 10.000 crowns (about $2,880) a
year to carry it on. It extends
throughout the Baffin Bay region and
along the east coast of Greenland.
"Doctor Porsild is forty-five years
old. but 1 tks older. He has a beauti
ful home, an extensive library and a
well-equipped laboratory. The numer
ous hot springs at Godhaven render
the climate and vegetation similar to
those some 000 miles to the south.”

WISE CHOICE OF FOOD
♦
♦
♦
♦
By H. E. Barnard.
The housekeeper who plans her
meals for two or three days in advance
saves much time and thought. There
was a time when carpenters cut each
timber as they built the house. The
modern builder knows before the first
foundation is laid .hist how his pun.
will work out. His estimates are accu
rate and because he plans he builds
successfully and without waste.
Exactly the same method of plan
nine should he followed in the kitchen.
There is less likelihood that the same
food will he often repeated or often
cooked in the same way if the meals
for several days are planned in ud
v.t„ce But in preparing meals the
housewife Should be guided by several
principles. These rules are as fol
low*
t include in each tnenl foods suited
U)C needs of each member of the
family—hearty foods for healthy
adults; simple, «-a:.lly digested f< nls
for children and the aged.
IH> not serve the same food in dif
ferent forms at the same meal, as po
:ato soup and potato salad ; eggs and
•ustard pie, or canned corn and corn
bread.
Balance the different parts of the
meal. A heavy main course such as
roast pork should he followed by liglfr
dessert like apple sauce or baked apple
rather than apple pie. A meal in ■w hich
vegetables form the principal course is
well rounded by a heavier dessert like
mince pie.
4. In planning the meal choose foods
nither by what they contain in nutri
ments than by their hulk, and include
in each meal ati article rich in the nec
essary food dements. Do not. however,
select too many foods rich in protein
..r fat or starch. Meat served with
macaroni and cheese furnishes too
much protein; rice and potatoes too
much starch, roast pork and mince pie
too much fat.

Harvest the Crops — Save the Yields
On the battle fieW* of France and Flanders, the United States bovs and the
Canadian boys are fighting side by side to win for the World the freedom that Prus
sianism would destroy. While doing this they must be fed and every ounce of
muscle that can be requisitioned must go into use to save this year’s crop. A short
harvest period requires the combi red forces of the two countries in team work, such
as the soldier boys in France and Flanders are demonstrating.

A reciprocal arrangement for the use of farm workers has been perfected between the Derail
meat of the Interior of Canada and the Department* of Labor and Agriculture of the United Stales,
under which it is proposed to permit the harvesters that are now encaged in the wheat fields of Okla
homa. Kansas, Iowa. North Dakota. South Dakota. Nebraska. Minnesota and Wisconsin to move
over mto eanada. with the privilege of later returning to the United States, when the crops in the
