Yes, that's part of the ice cap or
glacier. 1t is the largest glacier on
earth. Its area is estimated to be
721 900 square miles"
"Whew!' That's more land than
there is in half a dozen countries in
Europe"

up and laid down over Europe, it would
cover Germany, France, Belgium, Hoi-
land. Denmark and Switzerland, with
a good deal of ice left over"
How deep Is the snow and ice in
the glacier?"
cier Is in its deepest part. Only q
small number of observations have
been made; but it is believed that the
average depth is more than 1000 feet.
Many parts certainly are much deeper
than that"

Everyday Psychology
Some Persons Gesture.

When people gesture as they talk.
they are attempting to add weight to
their words. That's one reason why
students preparing for the clergy are
required to take a course in gesturing.
In the everyday sense of the term,
the smaller the man, the more dramatic
is his speech. He is trying to extend
his personality. At other times, the
gestrrer Is merely confused or excited.
A gesture under such circumstances
amounts to a cropping for words, and
perhaps . feeling of doubt as to the
ones he has chosen.
It has been said that the rate of
speech and gesturing have something
in common. The slow talker gets along
without gesturing. The fast talker ges-
lures for the purpose of punctuating
his remarks and calling attention to
some particular word in the course of
the flight Of ideas
Perhaps the best theory is this: Ges-
turing is a social salutation. You ges-
tllre more before an audience than you
do before an individual listener.

Loses Is Pounds of Fat

The improvement In this woman's
figure, after she had lost 20 lbs. OF
unwanted fat can easily be imagined
from the comparative measurements
which she gives below. Note also the
effects Of the treatment she used.
Her method Is evidently a good one
to follow.

after taking Kruschen Salts regularly
I have lost 20 lbs in weight and have
much more vitality. Also I have a
very good complexion, and do not
have face blemishes of any kind.
Surely this must be due to my having
pure blood, and I attribute the fact
to my taking Kruschen Salts.

How it Started
IF the Sky Falls
BY JEAN NEWTON.

"I am wondering about the origin
# the frequent use in modern speech
Of the words If the sky falls Do
re have this from some former mys-
tic beliefs or hocus pocus?"
References to the sky falling are
found fairly regularly throughout
literature Taking a big jump back,
the old English author, Jcha Hey
wood, in his famous "Proverbes.' first
published in 1916, said, opti-ristically:
When the skie faith we shall have
larkes"
And Rabelais said in French:
IF the skies fall, one may hope to
catch larks."
We have traced the expression, how
ever, back to classical antiquity, where
in the important sounding "Heauton..
timoroumenos" of the Roman writer OF
comedies, Terence, We find:
What now if the sky were to fall?'

Threatened
los Miles an Hour Average
Predicted Despite
Rule Changes.
BY NORMAN +. IsAACS

The 500-mile average for the In
dianapolis Speedway race Tuesday
Z will be los miles an hour.
That was the prediction today Of
race track experts as the full field
or forty-two was filed and me-
chanics and drivers put the final
touches on their speed creations for
the speed classic Tuesday.
The 1888 race will see more pit
action than any other previous
800 due mainly to two new rules
for the cars.
A fifteen gallon gasoline limit has
been placed on the little speed ma
chimes and drivers estimate that
at least three stops will be necessary
for every car on the track.
The other new rule is the six-gaI-
Ion oil limit. No car may use more
than six gallons and two quarts of
oil during the race and the cars
must carry the full amount of oil
when the race starts.
In other words, the car which
wins will have to be well outtoned-
up"
