A NEW YORK GIRL
CIRCLES GLOBE ALONE
SEES 28 COUNTRIES IN TWO
YEARS. HAS A VARIETY
OF EXPERIENCES.
Most people, doubtless, would con
sider a trip around the world alone a
hazardous undertaking for any young
woman. Miss Gertrude Emerson, of
New York one of the editors of
Asia, has made the trip not only once,
but three times, says the New York
Sun.
Crocodile hunting in Sumatra, or
tiger hunting in India. would not be
popular with the average young Wwo
man, vet Miss Emerson ‘found both
the best kind of sport.
In Agra she awoke one night to
see a huge wildcat gazing at her spec
ulatively from the doorway, and while
on a motor trip into Kashmir two
jackals found their way in to warm
themselves by her fire. Not long af
terward, on a trip into Cambodia, she
and her party passed through a herd
oi wild elephants.
On her latest tour, from which she
has recently returned, Miss Emerson
visited in all 28 countries, and was
gone a little less than two years. ‘
A Cambodian Buried City.
“Clothes?” she repeated. “Oh, I'm]
not one of those people who travel
with a single costume, to be worn as
a night gown or a riding habit or an
evening gown! 1 took everything that
was necessary—ifor riding or climbing
or aviation or any occasion that might
arise. I started out with three pieces
oi baggage, but collected 14 before
I returned.”
Perhaps the most interesting side |
trip Miss Emerson made was into |
Combadia, to the buried city of Ang- |
kor. This city, it is said, was once asl
large as Rome at the time of Nero.
The ancient race which inhabited the
place is now extinct. Panthers roam
through the streets and riuned tem
ples, vines have overgrown the an
cient galleries and orchids two yards
long hang from the gigantic trees.
Another unique experience in India
was a trip into the Moplah district—
the Moplahs, a fanatic Moslem tribe,
being at the time in the midst of one'
ci their periodic outbreaks. Although |
the British authorities said it was im- |
possible, Miss Emercon motored downl
from Mysore—a 10-hour trip—accom
panied only by a Gurka guard whol
had served in France and who, inci
dentally, had shortly before hrought‘
in two Moplah heads.
Guest of a Sheik.
In Khartum, the capital of Sudan,
Miss Emerson had tea with an Ara
bian sheik, the publisher of an Ara
bian newspaper.
“Of all the countries I visited,” Miss
Emerson said, “I found the best edu
cated women in Japan. There, you
know, they have compulsory elemen
tary education, The Japanese are will
ing to sacrifice everything for educa
tion. They have women's papers and
magazines and even women reporters.
But the transition between the old and
new has brought many tragedies.
“In India? It is a mistake to think
that it is the men who retard the prog
ress of women in India. It is they who
hold themselves back. A friend and 1
called on an Indian woman in ‘purdah’
—their name for retirement—a Wwo
man whose husband is an Oxford
graduate. He had tried for years to
make her mingle with people, but she
couldn’t be persuaded to. She thought
it wasn’t proper. And when my friend
asked what she had been doing since
her last call she answered, ‘Just sit
ting!"”’
AIRPLANES ARE USED TO
DEFEAT THE BOLL WEEVIL
Spraying From the Air Fatal to Pests
In Cotton Fields of Mississippi.
Airplanes have been used success
fully to rid cotton fields of weevils in
Mississippi. All the pests in a big
field near Greenville were killed by
poison scattered from an airplane.
Farmers of the section are satisfied
that the new method is a success and
are planning to use the airplane to
free their fields. With its use, from
200 to 250 acres can be sprayed during
one hour, it is estimated.

Tropical Man-Eating Fishes
' The recent tragic death of a young
}woman swimming in Tampa Bay, Fla.,
irom the bite of a barracuda calls at
tention to the fact that there are fish
es much more ferocious than sharks.
. In the basin Jof the Apure river, in
| Venczuela, marfy streams are infested
by fishes of small size but incredible
{erocity. It has often happened that a
man, attacked by a number of them,
has been literally bitten to pieces be
' fore he could escape.
It is dangerous to ride a horse
’thruugh a stream infested by these
‘r)~11(-.~. At sight of a wound caused by
the prick of a spur they will rush at
it, inflicting dangerous wounds, and
if the animal does not quickly reach
the bank it will be killed.
Natives of that region call these
fishes ‘*‘caribs,” in reference to the
notorious cannibalism of the Carib
tribes which gave their name to the
American Mediterranean,
Along the coast of Maine, especial
lv in the neighborhood of Eastport,
visitors are cautioned against wading
in rock pools at low tide, lest they be
attacked by wolf fishes. Those finny
desperadoes, which attain a length of
three feet when full grown, are not
afraid of any human being. Far fiercer
than any shark, they will instantly
assail anybody whom they suspect of
attempting to meddle with them; and,
being provided with large and power
ful teeth they can inflict severe
wounds.
The “great barracuda” which attack
ed Dorothy McClathie in Tampa Bay,
ripping up her thigh and severing the
femoral artery, so that she died from
loss of blood, represents a species
common and familiarly known in trop-
NO HOLIDAYS FOR EXECU!
TIVE IN THIS AGE. MANY
NATIONAL DIFFICULTIES. I
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Warren
G. Harding is virtually a slave to his
job of president of the United States.
The poorest paid government clerk in |
Washington, even the women who
scrub the white house floors, work
fewer hours each day and have more
time for rest and recreation than does
Mr. Harding.
No eight-hour day, no day off, no
vacation, no freedom, no respite from
cares and responsibilities, and the ex
acting etiquette which governs his ev
ery act—such is the lot of the chief
executive of the nation.
President Harding works from 10 to
14 hours each day. He gets up about
7 o'clock in the morning and is at his
desk by 9 o'clock. Luncheon and din
ner in the white house usually are
made occasions for conferences with‘
friends and officials on business mat
ters. Even on Sunday the grind goes
on, with the president hardly able to
find time to go to church.
Warm in Washington.
When it is hot in Washington it is
hot. There are no cool breezes and
sudden chilly seasons, but the sun
‘beats down unmercifully day after
’day. President Harding has worked
right through all the heat this sum
mer and expects to continue during
the coming autumn., The president is
a slave to his job.
. Instead” of taking the pleasant
'month’s trip to Alaska, as he had
'planned, President Harding had to
remain at his desk and keep an eye on
’the coal and railroad strikes. The sit
| uation was serious, and every one
thought it not out of the ordinary
when Mr. Harding announced that he
would stay on the job.
Now that the industrial skies are
|cl(-nring President Harding finds that
it is too late to take a long vacation.
’Hc has refused scores of invitations
to spend a month at the seashore, in
the mountains or on farms. He is tied
’dm\'n to his position.
Splendid Physical Condition.
Despite all nis cares and hard work
the president manages to keep up his
golf for his physical benefit. He plays
a round each morning, to which he
contributes his good health. He tried
horse riding once, but gave it up in
a few days. He has not used the white
house tennis court since he became
president.
The presidency is not what it was
in the good old days, Washington
Istzxt(-snu-n declare. Roosevelt had a
“‘l»u_l]y" time hiking or hunting, and
Taft took long tours through the
country in the years passed, but now
the duties of the office demand that
the president keep on the job all the
Itimt-. And still presidents seek second
fterms.

Accuses Woman's Party
Of Afhhation With Reds
Charge of Bolshevism Is Lodged by
Former Organ of Anti-Suffragists.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Charges
that the National Woman’s party is
affiliated with the Russian communist
movement and intimations that the
money to purchase the Watch Tower,
its new hecadquarters in Capital hill,
was furnished, not by Mrs. O. H. P.
Belmont, but from communist sources,
were characterized today as “ridicu
lous” by Miss Alice Paul, founder and
now vice chairman of the party, Mrs.
Belmont having consented within the
past vear to serve as chairman with
Miss Paul.
The charges were launched in the
current issue of the Woman Patriot,
originally the organ of the anti-suf
fragists and now sponsored by Mrs.
James W. Wadsworth, jr., wife of
Senator Wadsworth, of New York.
As instances of its “communistic prop
aganda” the Patriot cites the party’s
approval of endowments for mothers,
and as a sinister fact in relation to
the possible source of party funds
quotes a report of a conversation be
tween Bill Haywood and Miss Paul.
BREED LIKE SIXTY!
“Rats breed ?\'c sixty near the wa
ter here,” said ¥rank A. Zunser, “and
we have to get rid of them every few
months. We can only do it, we find,
by using Royal Guaranteed Rat Paste
which is the best rat killer we have
ever found.” Get a 25 or 50 cents
handy tube today and destroy ALL

ical waters, which ranges as far north
as Charleston and the Bermudas. It
is much fiercer than a shark, and long
recognized as dangerous to bathers.
Imagine a pickerel magnified to a
tlcngth of six feet and weighing fifty
pounds, and vou will have a fair pict
ure of the great barracuda. Long,
slender and swiit—it can probably
‘swim seventy miles an hour—it is sil
very of hue, darker on the back, with
il)lack fins, and a few black spots to
‘\\'ard the tail. It is a powertul fish,
voracious in the last degree, savage,
and armed with long knife-like teeth.
Occasionally it is taken with hook
and line at Key West. But people are
warned not to cat it, because its flesh
is reputed to be poisonous. On this
account its sale is forbidden in Cuban
markets.
Another species of barracuda, which
attains a length of five feet, is com
mon in California, especially among
the Santa Barbara Islands. It is harm
less,
In our Atlantic coastal waters is
found a species of toadfish which,
though it does not bite, is dangerous.
On its back, behind the head, it car
ries two spines which, curiously
enough, have a structure resembling
that of a rattlesnake’s fangs. They
are grooved, and at the base of each
one is a venom sac. Thus pressure on
either spine will squeeze the sac at its
base and produce a squirt of the pois
onous fluid, causing the latter to en
ter a wound made by the spine. This
may easily happen ii the fish is in
cautiously handled, and the result is an
injury very painful locally and follow
¢d by fever and other unpleasant ei
fects.

THE DAWSON NEWS
FORMS HABIT OF WORKING
WITH MEN, AND BECOMES
COMMON LABORER.
The recently announced resignation
oi Whiting Williams as vice president
of the Hydraulic Pressed Steel Cor
poration of (Cleveland, Ohio, one of
the large industrial organizations ot
the country, has brought to light an
extraordinary story of a man’s depar
ture irom the usual methods employ
ed by men of high rank in the indus
trial world to attain success.
Mr. Williams was the son of a
wealthy Ohjo’ banker and was given
a thorough technical education in
preparation for his advent into the
world of big business. He served
two vears as hcad of a weifare or
ganization in Cleveland, during which
time he was brought closely into con
tact with laboring men, and then he
decided he needed more actual experi
ence.
Went to Work as Laborer.
He purchased some second-hand
clothes and became one of the 18,000
employes of the steel compauy. Four
vears later he had worked his way
up to where he held a high executive
position, and then his identity became
known and he was clected a vice pres
ident of the concern. He was given
charge of the employment situation
and soon there was a marked differ
ence in the relations between the com
pany and its emploves.
Feeling the necd of a wider experi
ence he secured a leave of absence,
put on his old clothes, took $25 to see
him through, and “rode the rods” to
Pittsburg, Pa., where, after trying for
days to secure work, he finally landed
a job as a shoveler for one of the
ovens in a steel plant. He was brought
in close contact with the men, none of
whom suspected his identity, and he
learned many things which helped him
when he went back to Cleveland.
Studied Conditions Abroad.
He worked in Duluth, Minn., in the
iron mine country, then went to Gary,
Ind., where he secured a job as “drag
out man” in one of the steel mills.
There he found out what men “kick
ed” about, and he remembered it when
he became vice president again. He
returned to his desk for a few months
and decided he neceded first hand in
formation on conditions abroad.
With another leave of absence he
went to Southampton, England. where
he became a dock worker. From the

the mines, and after several weeks he
crossed the channel and went to the
regions being restored near Lens and
Douai, where he learned the ways of
the French workers. From this district
he worked his way into Germany,
where in the Saar Valley he passed
four months in the coal mines. Now
he has returned home, prepared to
take up even greater duties in the in
dustrial field than ever before because
of his thorough knowledge of the
needs and aims of the working man.
