" Canyou imagine a country without

employers or employed? A country
Where tourists and commercial travel-
. •ers are regarded as nuisances, and not
allowed to set foot on shore; where
policemen and criminals are equally,
unknown • • and lettuce and parsley,
grown in' cucumber frames, are the
`only agricultural craps?
There is such a ::'.un'try, and a.party
bf British explorers' are leaving for
it shortly. it is Greenland and the
.object o.t the British expedition, is to
examine the possibilities of an Arctic
air route between this .Country and
Canada.
The Arctic route,is the shortest pos-
sible, and it has certain othe'• advan-
tages as well. The longest stretch of
idea flying, going, by the Faroe 'Islands,
-won't be more than about 300 miles,
and there are natural emergency
landing grounds over a great part of
the proposed airway. The most aWic-
ward part of the journey will be that
ever Greenland.
WINTER ON TIIE ICE CAP
This is so becau e of the fact that
the centre of Greenland consists of a
great ice plateau, 8,000 feet above sea
level at its highest part and 000 miles
across. Really, Greenland and Ice-
land v'ight to chai.go, names—it's
'Greenland that specializes in ice,; while
Iceland can boast of green and smil-
ing fields.
Cab an airport be established nn
this ice plateau` And can planes fly
.across it? It involves a big "climb"
for a loaded plane, and weather condi-
tions above the ice may prove too
treacherous for safety.
These are some .f the questions that
'the expedition will have to answer,
and in order to do so they are to spend
'next winter on the ice tap. Their base
will be on the highest part of the
plateau, and from it parties till go
*out with dog sledges to make a thur-
•ough survey of the "icy mountains"
of the hymn. This will take quite a
long time, for the average speed of a
dog sledge is only about five miles an.,
hour.
' EXPLORERS ARE WELCOME
In view of the fact that visitors are
unwelcome in Greeniand—ships aren't
allowed to call at the ports unless in
•cases of emergency or with special
permissior. for a strictly limited per-
iod -flow is the expedition going to
fare? May it -find itself in difficulties.
with the authorities—perhaps not be
permitted to land?
Explorers and scientists come into
their own in Greenland. In more civil-
ized countries they prefer •business
men; but here, where the door is
..banged and barred against the busi•
Hess man, scientists and explorers are
welcomed with open arms, and given.
every. possible help.
So the expedition will meet with no
difficulties from Greenland's author-
ities—nor are the latter likely to ob-
ject to the air route. If it proves
practicable, the Greenland airport will
have to be on the ice cap, away from
the inhabited parts of the c,.untry, in
which there are no suitable landing -
places.

The air route therefore, would not

"closed door" policy in Greenland—a
policy, by the way, which shouldn't be
-unthinkingly condemned as unenlight-

rule, and the object of the restrictions
is to safeguard the Eskimos,, who are

Statue Is Erected

A statue has just beep erected' to a
little girl who died, over` a hundred
years ago, at the age of eight.' She
was "Pet Marjorie," the friend of Sir
Walter Scott,
"She's the most extraordinary crea-
ture I ever met with," ,was Scott's
judgment on her. Her own verdict.
on one'occaaion was: "I have been
rnoto like a little young devil than a
creature."
Ther[. have been many youthful
prodigies, but she was probably the
most :harming—and the most human
—of them all. "I am now going to
tell yon the horrible and wretched
plaege,, that my multiplication table
givis me," she wrote; "you can't con-
ceive it. The most devilish thing is
eight tines eight and seven times

endure."
'"Pet Marjorie" died after an attack
of measles. IIer statue is in Kirkcaldy,

Doctors Find We Do
Not Sleep Like Logs
To sleep "like a log" is an ideal. of
literatire, not of nature. At the Mel-
ton Institute in ittsburgh, Dr. H. M.
Johnson and his associates have been
studying. the [movements and postures
of normal sleeping individuals by a
special motion picture camera which
photographs the sleeper every time
that he stirs. In a recent report to
the American Medical Association,
Dr. Johnson, Dr. T. H. Swan and Mr.
G. E. Wetgan describe one normal in-
dividual thus found to twist and turn
every few minutes all night long, as-
suming one after the other no less
than 33 widely different postures.
Thousands of other tests, the investi-
gators report, have shown this almost
continual twisting and turning during
sleep to bo the rule rather than the l
exception. Only persons who have �l
been heavily drugged lie- perfectly
i
quiet when soundly asleep. What 1s
still more remarkable, the majority of
the postures assumed in bed by a nor-
mal sleeper are shown by the tell -tate.

the body bent or contracted and the
spinal column bowed and twisted. as
different as possible from the usual
medical advice to lie straight and re-
lax tibrfeetly. Apparently, the Pitts-
burgh investigators report, "the, most

by the use of a considerable variety of
bodily positions,al
