has been whether smoking is harmful to expectant

The problem is becoming of greater and greater
Importance since smoking is definitely increasing
among women, many smoking to overcome their
nervous reactions.
1t occurred to some physicians to study the rate
OF heart beat of children before BIRTH to determine
whether smoking by the mothers in any way af-
fected the babies. Observations were made on five
women who were rather heavy smokers.
THE average rate of heart beat of the babies be-
Il fore the mothers smoked was 144 From eight
TO II minutes after the mothers began smoking the
average rate of heart beat 149, or an increase
of FIVE beats minute.
OF the five women who studied four showed
an increase in the rate of the babies heart beat
after smoking. but the fifth showed decrease In
the case of the four women whose babies had an
increased heart rate after the mothers smoked the
mothers were habitual smokers who inhaled the
fumes.
In the fifth case however the woman had

THE National Geographic Societys Yukon Ex-
l. petition, under the leadership Of Bradford
Washburn, is now engaged in the mapping of an
unexplored mountain region near the Alaskan
border During the next few weeks, the expedition
will be out of touch with civilization.
Word of Mr.. Washburns plans was received at
the society's headquarters in Washington just be-
fore he left Carcross, Yukon Territory At the same
time he notified the society that he had completed
a 150mile airplane survey in the course Of which he
photographed the Alsek River in southwestern Yu-
kon Territory The upper course of this river
previously had been unknown.
During his flight Mr.. Washburn discovered the
existence of an unsupported mountain range ap-
proximately so miles long with at least 20 peaks
more than 10000 feet high. He also found three
huge unexpored glaciers and determined that the
famous Hubbard Glacier which pours its ice into
Kakutat Bay, Isl nearly twice as long as it was sup
posed to be.

registered Is degrees below in order to obtain
adequate photographs of some of the huge noun

THE base camp which Mr.. washburn and the
Il five members Of his party have established lies
the face of Of the newly discovered glaciers
that flows from Mt Hubbard. This will be the
headquarters of the expedition until late in May
thousand-foot .ce-fall rises just above the
tents Of the expedition. 1t is planned to move
everything up this frozen cascade to the final site
Of the base camp on the smoother slopes above.
From this vantage point the party will survey and
map the unknown tract at the head of Hubbard
Glacier.
HUBBARD GLACIER, formerly thought TO be
Il 30 miles long. is at least so miles long, Mr..
Washburn has reported. This glacier, formerly
thought to end at the divide between Mt. Hubbard
and Mt. Vancouver, actually extends another 80
miles into the very heart of the st. Elias Range
and finally ends at the very base of Mt. Logan.

which we have seen and photographed is almost
unbelievable. These mountains represent the last
