HeLIentlaI's Book Reviewed
 in Newspaper
The Alaska Yokohama, Praised by Literary
 Writer, N. Y. Times

The Book Review section of the New York Times for May 3rd gives an impartial and complimentary criticism of "The Alaska Melodra- ma by J. A. Hellenthal, Juneau author and pioneer Alaska attorney. The article which gives enthusiastic praise of the Alaskan author fol- lows:
 ''The readers first impression, from this book, is of it's authors deep ove for Alaska. It is, evidently, his own country, and what he feels for it is a passionate localized patriot ism. And the readers attention is held next by MT. Hellenthal's com olete and bitter dissatisfaction with what the United States Govern nent has done in the Alaskan Pen- nsula. He is convinced that Alas kas real welfare has been, and is still being, sacrificed to the ignor- ance and self-interest of politics, md he has apparently written this
  book for the purpose of making that point plain.
 The government of Alaska, he says, is the worst possible under he American flag and the policy of conservation has worked out to de- orive the Alaskan people of the means of livelihood. In regard to he coal, oil, wood pulp, fur seal and ishing industries he lays down his indictments, sparing neither detail lor strong language. His book is an argument; in so far as one man can make it so, it is fight; he wants to start something.

 The white-haired, 68 . year old scientist is not a good sailor and is seasick great deal during his trips, according to Coast Guard officers. However, he says the re- suits he has obtained in the North are worth any inconveniences.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1936-05-19

The Alaskan Melodrama' is good reading. Out of his love for his country MT. Hellenthal writes a clear, colloquial history of it's dis covery and exploitation, offering at the same time needed differentia- tion between the various sections of the great peninsula, and between the various native peoples. The story of the Russian commercial develop ment under Shelikof and Baranof is exceedingly interesting; and the tales of the famous gold rushes are told, with ardent sympathy, from the miners point of view. MT. Hell lenthal has real knack of giving life to the people in his pages; whether he is telling his story or grinding his axe, there is vigor in his book"

The remains are found at depths up to 16 feet, he said, and some are already petrified into stone. Many of them are found on ancient glacial gravel deposits.

It is interesting to compare q re.

nomic and social strata of q large
manufacturing and seaport city were
given this dark room test. Only nine
were found to have Vitamin A de-
ficiency, whereas in the Iowa city
nearly So per cent were shown to
have some sub-normality. The diff
ference is obviously due to the fact
that the geographic conditions of life
In a seaport city in Sweden would
automatically increase fish liver and
fish oils in the diet. and hence re-
duce the percentage of Vitamin A de-
ficiency.
