40 U.S. BRINGING HOME ARCHANGEL DEAD Bodies of 86 Doughboys to| Be Buried in Detroit Next May. By the Associated Press. LENINGRAD, Russia, October 14.— | Banked along_tne stone quay of the placid Neva River opposite the grim fortress of Sts. Peter and Paul, await- ing transportation to their native soil, Michigan, are the bodies of 24 un- identified American soldiers who died of wounds or disease in the Archangel | campaign of 1918-1919. In their unadorned metallic coffins | these nameless soldier dead form part | of the 86 American doughboys whose | bodies have just been retrieved from | their bleak piaces in the frozen North by the joint efforts of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Polar Bear Asso- clation, the last named being composed of 4,477 American officers and soldm'x‘ who fought in the original Archangel campaign. Relatives of these anonymous heroes, who are called “Detroit’s own,” will be given an opportunity to do homage to the memory of 24 unidentified at a great funeral in Detroit to be held next May.

The hermets ically sealed mechanism, mounted on top of the cabinet, out of the way, requires so little attention —not even oiling. The rugged warp-proof all steel cabinet is a thing of such beauty—so long-lived, so easy to clean. In addition, the General Electri¢c has this feature which makes it ideal for apartment use. Each ten~ ant has absolutely independent control of his oun machine. He regulates the temperature to suit his needs. He defrosts it to suit his convenience. No action of any other tenant or of the superintendent can in any way affect the service of his machine. Is it surprising that day-by-day you find that more good landlords, good apartments and good General Electrics are getting together? Today there are more than 350,000 General Electrio Refrigerators in use, and not one owner has ever had to spend a single dollar for repairs or service, Considering that amazing record, it is no wonder that you so often find the General Electric installed in the finer modern apartments.

There have been found along the shores of Hudson Bay by A. L.

They also got those pretty sea shells that are found iIn Florida. There are jelly fish in those waters, and some of them are 5 feet across. They are so large that a pilot in an airplane can spot them in the water from an altitude of 2,000 feet. “We found a fine species of edible clam in the regions around Wager Bay modern way.

There are excellent brook trout, lake trout and other fine | fish in the waters bordering the bay. The Eskimos told us of great halibut to be found in the North. We caught them. Some of the big ones, of course, got away. One managed to make off with two 14-pound anchors attached to a stout line.” The geologist makes a hobby of the study of mushrooms. This Summer he found five varieties new to him on the rim of the Arctic. FLIES PREY ON PESTS. Parasitic Insects Attack Major Ones Like Caterpillars. While many kinds of fifes, including the mosquito, which is a‘member of the ¥ | crops useful to man, it is unfair to con- | clude that they are utterly useless, says C. H. Curran of the American Museum of Natural History. This group of insects also preys on major insect pests. For the most part, parasitic flies attack caterpillars, beetles and beetle larvae. Their methods are often most ingenious.
