WHALE OIL PROCURED
THREE MONTHS TIME
NEW YORK, Aug., 13. (JP)—Last
February the story was told of the
Norwegian steamship “C. A. Larsan”
the boat, that “swallows whales.”It
is fitted with a big drag tunnel
through which the whale is drawn di
rectly into the ship where it can be
cut up saving delays and extra hand
ling.
Recently the vessel arrived in New
York with a cargo of oil in her hold
valued at $1,000,000, the result of a
three ‘months trip in the Ross sea,
about 700 miles from the south pole.
The Larsen and her sister ship,the
“Sir James Clark Ross,” are said to
be able to do in three months what
the old-time fleet did in three years.
Each of the vessels being equal to
about 100 of the old-fashioned type.
Six 200-ton “killer” boats joned the
Larsen south of New Zealand for the
whaling. These craft carry harpoon
cannon and are sometimes dragged
along by the wrhales for miles. Skip
pers of the “killer” boats are paid on
commission occasionally making as
much as $18,000 in three months.
The prize pay on the recent trip
was $10,000.The crews work night
and day,since, at the whaling season
there is no real night at that ex
treme sonthern locality.
Most of the w'hale oil is used for
the manufacture of soaps and similar
products, and the bone is nowr ground
up for oil,its use for corsets and
whips having practically vanished
owring to the gradual disappearance
of horse-drawn vihicles and to chang
ing fashions.
REAPING REWARD
DENVER, Aug., 13. (JP)— The story
of the phenominal rise of John Good
man, 18-year-old youth of Omaha,
from caddy to champion trans-Miss
issippi golfer reads like a Horatio
Alger narrative. The new trans
Missssippi king is reaping the, re
wards that follow courage, determi
nation and hard work.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. UP)—In |
the eternal struggle between mam and
insect, human inventive genius will i
always win.
• With that terse climax Dr.#A. L. I
Quaintance, acting chief of the U. S.
Bureau of Entomology, summarizes
science’s constant battle to offset na
ture’s power of reproduction
“Had it not been for entomology,” :
Dr. Quaintance declares, “humankind
might have perished and left behind j
giant insects, armored creatures not
unlike our prehistoric monsters.

BIG PARIS BUSINtSS
i STARTS WITH NECKTIE
PARIS, Aug. 13. (/P)—Mile. Ginette
Gontier decided that the busy busi
ness men who frequent the cafes a
round the Paris stock exchange ought
to wear better neckties. She found j
the best way to convert them to her
belief was to bring the goods to
them in their leisure moments at the
little tables under the awmings.
Thus began a flourishing necktie
business. Mile. Gontier has two sew
ing women working all day long un
der her direction making into cravats
the bits of silk which Ginette buys
at bargain rates in the cafes around
the Bourse.
