Captain James Norman Hall, a former college mate of James E.
Stronks, the Iowa City publisher, has picked Iceland as his next
expedition site. He did the South Sea Islands before. Captain
Hall won fame
in the World War for his extraordinary adventures and thrilling
escapes from death in the air, and in the enemy's camps. He will
also explore the Shetlands and Faros, two small groups of
islands, between Iceland and the mainland of Europe, when he is
away. Grinnell college recently granted Hall his Master of Arts
degree, and he has been visiting his college friends, and also at
Colfax. He plans to leave that town, his old home place,
Saturday, July 1st for the land of reindeer and the midnight sun.
