tions in England, Germany
and Buenos Aires,
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, December 29.-Wel-
coming Of the new year in foreign lands
will give American radio listeners an
opportunity to start rather early in
their celebration Saturday evening.
Besides the dancing parties planned
for midnight and after by the two net
works. each has made ARRANGEMENTS to
broadcast samples of the greeting to
1888 as it is done in England, Germany
and Buenos Aires.
To start festivities C. B. S. is going
to Leipzig, Germany, at 5:55 to pick
up the student chorus there. This will
be followed later by the ringing of Big
Ben in the tower at Parliament Build
ing. London
N. B. c. joins in at o'clock with a
London celebration, which also will in
clude Big Ben. At the same time WIZ
cuts in microphones in the Haus Vater-
land, night club de luxe in Berlin.
The Buenos Aires festivities open at
10:45 over N. B. c.
An added broadcast is to be the third
of the C. B. S. Man on the Street series,
in which New Workers found in Times
Square around noon of the first day of
the new year will be asked what reso-
lutions they have made. Ted Husing
will do the asking.

lures are harmless. If you hold the
little pills in your hand, they will lie
perfectly still, gradually stretching out,
but the least pressure brought to bear
will md them coiled tight and notion
less.
In the daytime they hide At night
they sally forth in hordeS, to climb over
plants or under the surface of heaped
piles OF plant matter. They are closely
related to crayfish and are not insects.
They do not bite or sting; in fact, they
are extremely anxious to appear as
harmless as possible, so you will lose all
ton is their way of playing 'possum
or acting as if they had died from fright.
The mother carries her eggs in a
pouch, and after the young are born.
she carries them about with her for
two months. They are tiny little things.
resembling their parents faithfully, and
ready to roll up with the first touch.
1t Is one whole year before they grow
up. They have fat, squat bodies. with
IA short legs, tiny antennae and head
quite small. They follow their parents
and grandparents about, and under a
big flower pot you will find several
generations living together.
Green houses have to resort to harsh
b !
creatures. They are foes to the carna-
tionS and sweet peas. They are always
found on the bottom of the flower pots.
and under everything they can find to
keep their presence as little suspected
as possible. The two plants mentioned,
when attacked by an army of SOW bugs,
will show by yellowed leaves they are
being deprived of their rightful
nutriment.
Centipedes, fst runners and quick
search of food, The little gray pills are
is caught at night by these clever
hunters.
Sometimes a large and hungry
centipede will consume whole family
of pill bugs in an evening. This is a
service, and why so many people step
on their benefactorS or rush to kill Them
is just another proof we need more in
struction about the creatures about us.
If you are unable to get the cent?
pedes to cooperate with you and you
are somewhat overrun with pill bugs in
your garden among the leaves, where
they are clinging to the roots of some
favorite plant, serve them hearty meal
of sugar and paris green. 1t is one
thing they cannot resist and your
flowers will be free.

icebergs in the North Atlantic come
from Greenland, the island which has
been called "the mother of icebergs.'
More than nine-tenths of the surface
Of Greenland is covered with snow and
ice the year around. Hundreds OF
thousands of square miles are under an
'ice-cap" or glacier. In many Green
land valleys leading to the coast are
valley glaciers
The valley glaciers are moving toward
the sea, slowly but surely. They move
out into the water, and then great
chunks Of ice break off and float away
as icebergs.
One large Greenland valley sends out
enough ice in year to form a solid
block three miles long, a mile wide and
as high as the Empire State Building.
Sometimes the valley glaciers move
70 feet In a single day; but the average
speed appears to be between 20 and 80
feet day You and could walk that
distance in two seconds.
In Switzerland there are about 1000
valley glaciers. They move even more
slowly than those of Greenland. One
Swiss glacier, known as the Sea of
Glass, moves forward at the rate of not
quite two feet a day.
Swiss glaciers have been watched with
much interest. Mountain climbers have
gone up until they found places where
glacier movement starts.
What makes glaciers move? 1t is
pressure from falling snow. More snow
forms on mountains than will melt.
Pressure causes the lower banks of snow
to melt. and the melting snow turns to
ice. Gravity and pressure turn the ice
into kind of solid river, and it slowly
creeps down the valley.
There are glaciers in Alaska, in Nor
way. in Japan and in parts of the
Rocky Mountains. as we'll as III eA-itzer-
land and Greenland; but the great
glacial sheet of Greenland has no rival
except the ice-cap in the South Pole
region.
Portions Of the ice sheet around the
South Pole are believed to be two miles
thick.
