THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 1921 bilipshorn__ ./ HAD SO P e AR GALFOREE : Are Knocking Carrying ice to Iceland will appear to most persons about as reasonable as carrying wheat to the Dakotas, cotton to Texas or beans to Boston. But, according to recent press dis- patches, the Icelanders have made an appeal to Norway, the nearest European country, to ship them ice, in order that they may save their herring harvest from spoiling be- cause of the mildness of the present winter. Some of the paradoxes of this sup- posed land of ice are dealt with in the following bulletin issued by the National Geographic Society: “The land which has come down in history as Iceland might with more accuracy have been gietn a dia- metrically opposite title and called ‘The Land of Fire'. The surface of no other country, perhaps, is so deep- |1y marked by the withering blasts i that well up from time to time, and in no country of equal area are to be found so many volcanic peaks and vents. Nearly 5,000 square miles of the 40,000 of the country’s area are covered by lava flows. Winter in Capital Mild. “Iceland is approximately the size of Ohio and about 8,000 square miles larger than Ireland. It is only a shorti distance off the Kuropean coast of ) Greenland, and its northernmost_cape | just touches the arctic circle. From there the midnight sun can ba Eeen. | In spite of its position so near the ! north pdle, Iceland, thanks to the gulf stream, has a relatively mild winter climate.

Although Europeans emi- grated to Iceland about seven hundred years before old world colonies were es- tablished in the now tamed North Amer- ica, only the valleys and lowlands near the coast of the island have ever been developed. This is not because of a lack of energy on the part of hardy Scandinavians who settled the island, but because the interior, comprising about six-sevenths of the total area, is a waste of lava, boulders and gravel, devoid of vegetation. Discoverers From Iceland. “The island is approximately 200 miles wide and 300 miles long, but hardly a habitation can be found more than forty miles from salt water. There are no rallroads and few carriage roads. The inhabitants depend almost entirely on water transportation along the coast and in the many bjords. “Iceland can be considered the kalf-way station between Europe and America. Nearly 700 years before Columbus sailed to the West Indies through the warm south Atlantic in his relatively large, decked ships. daring Scandinavian sea rovers, in their open boats, passed from Nor- way to Iceland and from there to the coasts of Maine and Rhode Island. “Though Iclanders, faced by im- placable natural forces and ‘condi- tions, have been unable to achieve any great degree of physical develop- Each design is a distinctive model—each feature of The sizes are broken—and so are the prices— nuine Forsythe ne Dimities and 2.95 ment on. their lava-covered, "short. 3 5 5 b summered island, they have d Blouses that are copies of exclusive Parisian models—repro- notable advances in less material duced in Georgette of that heavy French quality—trimmed with flelds.

Married Women Keep Names. “In more recent times the Islanders ! have shown themselves to be in ad- vance of many parts of the world in their social and political ideas. Wom- en had full political privileges in Ice- land earlier probably than in any other civilized country. At the pres- ent time part of the althing, the I landic parliamnt, is elected by propor- tional representation. Votes for wom- en is not the only mark which fem- inism has placed on the life of Ice- land. The custom of women retaining their own names when they marry is more general in Iceland, perhaps, lhnn! in any other modern country. “The political status of Iceland is in some ways peculiar. In effect it might be said to be an autonomous state in partnership with Denmark.
