On chear days, too, hundreds of icebergs can be seen along the coast at this point, huge masses of compact ice and snow, born of a parent glacier in the Far North and beautiful beyond description in their glittering whiteness, marvelous in their changing colors. Glacial Dumping Gwound. “Ever since the days of Cartwright and other early explorers of the St, Lawrence region, Battle Harbor has been frequently mentioned as a port of call or provision point. Although the coast of Labrador is fringed with deep fiordlike indentations and pro- tected by numerous islands, the water along the island fringe, which in places is something like an archipel- ago allow. This reglon was once the terminal morain, or dumping ground. of huge glaciers from the in- land ice cap. The ‘runs’ or passages into the deep, shut-n harbors are ‘drowned valleys,’ formerly with run- ning streams in’ them, for the coast was once higher than it is now. The town is a collection of neat white frame houses. At one time it had a highly valuable export trade in seals. Ten thousands of these val- uable animals were taken in the vicin- ity in 1874.

Correspondence of the Associated Press. JERUSALEM, June 2.—The Jewish National Fund has invested almost $6,000,000 in the purchase and im- provement of land in Palestine from October, 1920, to April, 1925, approxi- mately the period of Sir Herbert Sam- uel's administration as high commis- sioner, according to a report issued by the world headquarters of the fund here. Sum Invested in Purchases. Of this money $5,194,440 was spent in the purchase of agricultural and urban land and $774,150 in land im- provements, including the drying up of swamps, road building, water sup- ply installation and buflding loans to new settlers. Twentysnine of the 43 colonies es- tablished by the Palestine Foundation Fund (Keren Hayesod) during this period were built on land purchased by the Jewish National Fund. This includes the dozen colonies thus far established by the Palestine Founda- tion Fund as part of its colonization scheme in_ building up the Valley of the Jeareel. World Zionist Agencies. Both the Jewish National ¥und and the Palestine Foundation Fund are financial agencies of the World Zion- ist Organization, the former being a land-purchasing agency, and the latter engaged in the principal constructive enterprises, such as agricilture, educa- tion, public health and promotion of trade and industry, aimed at the re- building of the Jewish homeland.

There are several evidences that a battle did_take -place here, but it is not likely that the harbor was named for it, for it is found on many old maps as ‘Batal’ before the fight is said to have taken place. The meaning of the early name is quite clear, being the Portuguese word for a boat or canoe. As late as the latter part of the eighteenth century Eskimos came as far south as the Strait of Belle Isle, and in the time of Jacques Cartier many of them lived along the eastern and some on the southern coast of the Labrador peninsula. There are 2skimos south of Hamilton inlet or Esquimaux Bay.

There are no wharves, the ship boats go ashore, and the shore boats come alongside the ships—the latter generally filled with natives to see the doctor, if there is one on board. During the fishing season few on shore ‘have time' to be sick, but during other seasons the government boats are often long delayed at each stop. Bad teeth are common, many coming aboard with tied up, swollen faces, sometimes to yell most lustily under the forceps.

Strong of Erfe, Pa., announcing the marriage in New York Saturday of her niece, Mrs. Mathilde Scott Gerry, divorced wife of Senator Peter Goelet Gerry, to Sumner Welles of Hoston, American commossion to the Dominican Republic, scarcely caused a ripple of excitement in so- clety here. It.has been known since Mrs. Gerry was granted a divorce from Senator Gerry in France last Autumn that Mr. Welles was paying court t6 the Washington beauty. Mrs. Strong, the aunt, failed to give the definite place where her niece and Mr. Welles were married and Mrs. Richard H. Townsend, mother of the bride, who is ill in her home on Massachusetts avenue, has absolutely no statement to make. Romance Long in Progress. The romance of Mr. Welles, and his bride has been in progress for some months, according to society gossip, their frequent appearance together exciting comment, and especially as no positive affirmation of her divorce from Senator Gerry could be had. Mr. Welles has been successtul in his dip- lomatic relations with the State De- partment. In 1917 he was secretary of the American embassy in Tokio. In 1920 he was appointed acting chief of the division of Latin-American af- fairs to succeed Dr. L. 8. Rowe, who became director general of the Pan- American Union. In 1924 he was sent on a special mission to Honduras. Success as Social Hostess. Mrs. Welles, as a senatorial hostess, has been as much of a success in so- clety here as before her marriage to Peter Goelet Gerry, May 26, 1910, when the then President and Mrs. Taft, the entire cabinet, diplomatic corps and dignitarfes from many quarters of the globe were guests. The Gerry-Townsend wedding was by far the most brilliant nuptial event seen in Washington in a quarter of a cen. tury and was solemnized in the stately ballroom in the Townsend mansion on Massachusetts avenue. Mrs. Townsend opposed her daugh- ter's marriage to Senator Gerry, but she also opposed all the other suitors for her daughter's hand, proposals coming to_her from one of th eoldest titles of Europe. However, the mar- riage seemed to carry happiness until about two vears ago, when rumors of a disagreement grew more constant, followed by the residence in Paris of Mrs. Gerry—said at that time to be caused by a serious throat trouble and the care needed from a famous specialist. First Wife Obtains Divorce. Mr. Welles brought his first wife, Esther Slater, daughter of Mrs. Ho- ration Nelson Slater, and heir to the Slater millions, to Washington as a bride, and while he held an impor- tant position in the State Department they occupied one of the splendid suites just over that of S 4 Mellon, at the corner of Ma: setts avenue and Eighteenth street, where thev held court with all the higher officials of Washington. S ince her divorce from Mr. Welles some time ago, she has married Col. Joseph Kerrigan, and is now said to be stay- ing at her mother's estate ot Flor- ence, Italy. ¥ Iavie N Probably nothing dispels girlish illusions as quickly as marriage. e A R | T here’s Real Economy —in placing Heating Plant work in our hands at this time.

MONDAY, JUNE 29, 1925 PARK ASSOCIATION FORMS FOR DRIVE Will Work to Raise 32 000,000 by Dec. 1 to Es- tablish Shenandoah Site. BY H. K, PHILIPS, Staff Coeresponaens. CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., June 29.—Invested with full authority to accept donations of land, make options. and conduct a nation-wide drive to raise funds for the purchase of a major portion of the area, the Shen- andoah National Park Association, Inc., composed of leading business men and civic leaders from all parts [y of Virginia, was formed here today. The purpose of this association is to develop immediately a program that will assure establishment of the Shenandoah National Park in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia when Congress convenes next Winter, and hasten the time of that park’s open- ing as first of its size to be created this side of the Mississippi River. First and foremost among the proj- ects to be inaugurated in this direction will be the launching of a Nation-wide campaign to raise at least $2,000,000 through public subscription for the purchase of part of the proposed area and donate it as a gift to the Govern- ment as an evidence of the people’s desire throughout the Fast to have a great national park established at their back door. Land Must be Free. Members of the Appalachian Na- tional Park Commission, appointed by Secretary of the Interlor Work with the authority of Congress to survey the area, have definitely informed those in charge of the campaign in Virginia that Congress will not be asked to consider any site unless the major portion of it is offered gratis to be used by the Government as a national park. At the same time, Secretary Work's commission notified th® board of man- agers that the organization which should handle such a tremendous proj- ect would necessarily have to be an assoclation State-wide in its scope, having as its members representatives from every portion of Virginia. Here- tofore that work has been divided be- tween the Virginia State Chamber of Commerce and Shenandoah Valley, Inc. Immediately upon receiving this in- formation from Washington, however, the directors of those bodies summoned representatives from all of the leading civic organizations, prominent busi- ness ren and State leaders, who were here today for the purpose of creating the association that has now been es tablished and opening up a campaign to raise a minimum of $2,000,000 be- fore December 1.

It was agreed that a body of 14 di- rectors be elected, representative of the different sections of Virginia, and empowered to choose the permanent president of the association. The nominating committee of three was selected to prepare nominations for these directorships and retired to select the eutstanding men of the communities. When the committee re- turned the directors were unanimous- ly glected, as follows: Directors Elected. D, D. Hull of Roanoke, E. F, Shef tey of Lynchburg, Hollls Rhinehart of Charlottesville, F..

Prominent speakers, including Rep- resentative J. Walton Moore, pointed out the need for haste in starting the campaign to raise the $2,000,000 neces- sary to buy part of the area. The Appalachian National Park Commis- sion had already informed the asso- clation that all subscriptions must be | completed by December 1, because on that date its report must be presented to Secretary Work and forwarded to Congress, if the bill creating the park is to be passed at the coming ses- sion of Congress. The delegates were frankly told that should the measure fall of adoption at the next session the East'’s hope of having a great national park will be virtually lost for at least 20 years.
