The elapsed time and the knowledge of velocity of sound through ice is the only data needed for calculating the depth or thickness of the glacier

KODIAK FISH IS NEW GENUS.

Scientists have identified as entirely new genus a fish taken Kodiak and specimen of which is possessed by the Smithsonian Institution. pr. Carl L. Hubbs, of the University of Michigan, made the Identification. It is one of the most curious of North American fishes and looks like thick leather bag eight inches long with a collection of organs loosely stuffed inside.
 The new fish has been named the elephantictys CT elephant fish. It has bones but is supplied instead with a skeleton of cartilage. Laid on flat surface out of the water, it flattens out
 The name elephant fish was bestowed on it be- cause of it's thick rough skin and it's clumsy move ments. Its skin is one-quarter of an inch thick one of the thickest known for any creature of comparable size It has power of locomotion but it seldom uses it. It prefers to lie on the bottom of shallow water and wait for it's food to come to it. It attaches itself to flat stone by disclike sucker on the ventral surface

NOTABLE RECORD OF RECOVERY.

John Maynard Keynes internationally known British economist recently returned to his London home after extended visit to this country, salo the American National income had increased l2 to 15 per cent in 1883 and about much again in the first half of 1884 He hailed this colossal achievement in that length of time, and declared that the level of economic activity is at least S3 per cent as high as the average level of the pre- boom years 1923-25.
 His view of the enormity of the progress made under President Roosevelt and the NRA is voiced by Arthur Brisbane, who commenting upon the activities during the first year of MIRA endeavor declared there is absolutely doubt, whatever your opinion of MIRA and Government interference in business that Government interference has stirred up activity in what was a stagnant business ana industrial swamp of despair" He cited of the outstanding results of this phase of the Presidents recovery program at the end of it's first year of work and worry for which he said MIRA executives feel justifiable pride:
 Manufacturing production up 50 per cent;
 department store sales up 46 per cent; var
 iety-store sales up 86 per cent; general
 country-store sales up 66 per cent
 And most important test of national
 recovery spending power optimism in March
 1883 the American public bought 118000
 automobiles, and in March 1884 it bought
 336Ol3 automobiles, an increase of 184S per
 cent Also iron and steel prodution in
 creased 2OU per cent Qurlng NttAS luSI year,
 bituminous coal, 625 per cent; eectric-power
 production, l49 per cent; freight car load
 ings, 15.3 per cent.
 These are evidences that more and more factories are producing as a consequence of well over $3,- O0O0O000O increase in industrial pay rolls to be- tween three and four millions recruited to regular work from the ranks of the unemployment.
 Continuing. MT Brisbane said:
 Important to publishers, magazine adver-
 Using increased during the year 23.5 per
 cent and newspaper advertising lineage 35.7
 per cent. In April United States exports were
 709 per cent above April 1883, and imports
 increased 596 per cent.
 All of which Brisbane puts in bold black face, together with President Roosevelts expression of satisfaction with the achievements of NRA,' which opened as follows:
 We have spread employment, we have
 raised pay, and not through yet.
 It is notable record of recovery. It has
 led the way for other nations and has
 produced widespread and believe perman-
 ent results Certainly we have right to
 celebrate this anniversary.

UniOnLaunched in April
1880, to Organize
All Seamen
By ROY B. HUDSON

THE Marine Workers Industrial
l Union is celebrating its fourth
year as union at a time when the
workers in the marine industry -
sesmen, longshoremen, harbor work
ers - have already begun mass
struggles against the low wages and
miserable conditions prevailing on
American ships and docks. The
willingness of the workers in all
ports to organize and struggle is
growing as it never has for years.
When the union was launched in
April, 1880, the seamen were nearly
completely unorganized. the long
shoremen partially so. This lack Of
organization prevailed not because
Of any unwilingness of the marine
workers to organize, but because of
their disgust with the betrayals at
the hands Of the Ryans and Furu-
seths, and realization of the bank
ruptcy of the programs of the In
ternational Seamen's Union, the In
ternational Longshoreman Associa-
ton and the I. w. w. Behind this
disgust lay real desire for union
ism. The crash of Wall Street in
1929 and the beginning of the world
wide crisis we're a warning of new
attacks by the ship owners and the
need Of organization to resist them.
This situation served to stimulate
the more militant and class consci-
Gus workers Of the industry, and re-
suited in the launching of the Ma
rine Workers Industrial Union by
1873 delegates in the First National

theirs. Social-Democracy and the
cism builds its hopes upon it. This
bourgeoisie speculate on this. Fas-
wall must be shattered to its
foundations in order to realize the
revolutionary unity Of the working
class.
The Key TO Victory
The key to the successful strug-
giles against fascism guaranteeing
the victory Of the proletariat over
the bourgeois, really lies here.
The results Of the two paths can
be seen clearer than ever, precisely
on the First of May-the fighting
day of International proletarian
solidarity. The path of Social
Democracy is the path of compro-
mise with the bourgeoisie. The path
of Bolshevism is the path of ir-
reconcilable struggle against the
bourgeoisie. The first path led and
leads to the triumph of Fascism.
The second path leads to the vic
tory of Socialism, which has already
achieved and is consolidated on one
sixth of the globe. Events in the
last months struggles in Austria.
France, Spain, in the battles of the
Red Army of Soviet China, shows
that the idea, the storm is maturing
in the consciousness of the masses
and they are beginning to get the
correct path.
Let May First become not only
powerful demonstration of inter-
national proletarian solidarity, but
also a demonstration of the proIe-
tartan united front struggle against
fascism, against imperialist war, for
the liberation of the prisoners of
the prisoners of fascist terror, for
the freeing of Ernst Thaelmann.

a demonstration for the dictatorship
Of the proletariat and Soviet power.

At the mass meeting and in the
parade all of the strikers we're
speaking of the effective Cleveland
strike, and the spread of strikes in
Cleveland. Copies of Cleveland
papers were spread from hand to
hand. A letter from a Cleveland
striker was read at the meeting.
The Cleveland strikers will not make
an agreement independent of larry
town, it was announced at the strike
meeting.
The A. F. of L. officials have APP
preached the executive board of the
F.A.A. to affiliate. Grady, in his
speech to the strikers, said the board
asked the A. F. of L. what they had
to offer. They would give no money
to help support the strike, the A. F.
of L. officials answered but would
give prestige and will show you
how to organize" Grady intimated
that the executive board will not
affiliate to the A. F. of L. at this
time. He said he had nothing against
the A. F. of L.
The leaflets of the Auto Workers
Union were well received by the
strikers. I'VE appreciate your help
and your leaflets helped a lot" said
one active striker to the Auto Work
ers Union representative. The strik-
erS asked for more leaflets. The
Auto Workers Union called for mass
picketing, the spread of the strike,
the election of a broad rank and
file strike committee with all depart
ments represented, and that the
union should put forward to the
company the same economic de-
mands as the Cleveland strikers
made regarding 80 per cent wage
increase, recognition Of the union,
no discrimination, more pay for
