advance and eventual recession of the glacier.
 Hazardous Work
 Several trps Of investigations took us to an elevation of nearly b,U0U feet Up a mountain side 10 get a look into the glacial field. In Urylng to get further along the side of the ice mass we were impeded very seriously by seasonal distur- bances such as danger from slides, as well as the impossibility to get on to the glacier proper along the low CT several miles.
 We determined the speed of. ad- vance, which has been gradually diminishing, and found 1t to average 70 feet a day, or a total of 250 feet during the 10 days of observations. Again, because of the seasonal diff faculties, we could not penetrate or measure to the assumed point of origin of the ice movement.
 Assisted by Miners
 Tt is also unfortunately probable that we may never be able to de- termine precisely either the time that the movement began ,or the place where the tongue of the re- ceding glacier was located before the glacial movement began. We are dependent for this information on the statements of hunters, trap pers, prospectors, miners, and tour ists and also on the various photo graphs that have been taken of the glacier valley as it was before the movement. Already a fine assort- ment of such photos is at hand 1 thanks to the ready assistance given 1 by interested people. Possibly at a later date a study of the evidence left by the glacier, the uprooted ter rain along the sides of the moving mass of ice as a result of the ter rife forces generated by the sudden and rapid advance of the ice may indicate the point where the for ward movement began.
 Conservative Estimates Assuming however that the ad' T vance began as early dS NOFehuSi 1, and that the glacier, then reced ing was at the minimum distance of three miles estimates by various persons place it at from three anC half to five miIes) the-- glacier must have travelled }aOre than % feet a day to reach it's present pos ition. This estimate would, under the circumstances, be the most con servative that could be made. O si course, the average speed could-easil! z have been several times this indl } cated minimum. The present speed of 25 feet q day would only accoun 1, for 4,OO0 .eet of advance during tn 3 time indicated in the foregoing. ] } is therefore evident that the eX . treme maximum speed attained ma, . have been easily many times that o . this minimum average requirement.

SCIENTISTS REPORT UNUSUAL
 DATA BLACK RAPIDS GLACIER

Continuing his investigations of the Black Rapids Glacier movements Otto William Geist, of the Uniyer- sity of Alaska Museum Department recently returned from the glacier area where he has been conducting investigations to determine, if pos sible, the distance the glacier has moved in the last few months, the rate of its progress at present and other facts relating to the sudden and extraordinary advance of this glacier, states the Fairbanks-News Miner.
 The phenomenal conditions accom- panying the advance have attracted the attention of scientists all over the world. Without basic data, con siderable theorizing is being done and some have expressed doubt as to whether anything of an extraordln- ary nature really has occurred.
 Data Needed
 In the March l edition of Time" , Scientist H. B. Washburn of Har- 
 imum observed speed of glacial movement has not exceeded 30 feet a day, whereas only a speed of many times that amount can account tor the present position of the Black Rapids Glacier. Realizing the great importance to the scientific world of obtaining the basic facts relating to the phenomenon, President Charles B. Bunnell of the University of Alaska contributed his personal funds and MT. Geist and his assist ants, their time, in an effort to ob- tain all data possible.
 Trip by Plane
 MT. Geist states:
 Accompanied by Robert Lyle civil engineer, Louis Giddings, B. s and John Cray, we left Fairh2HKs by plaae April l, and returned by plane after spending 10 days at tne glacier. Equipped, as we were, with survey and miscellaneous scientific instruments of precision, we were able to measure the speed of tht daily advance of the glacier. We al so had with us several complete pho tographic outfits ,as well as neces sary camping equipment. Our camI was established near the foot of thu glacier. The chief work consisted il establishing reference monuments which we used and which can b, used in the future to measure tn,

steep high mountains surrounding the glacial valley during recent years without a question have had a great deal to do with the present movement"
 Express Thanks
 President BunnelI and MT. Geist express their appreciation for the whole-hearted services rendered by Messrs. Robert Live. Louis Giddilgs. John Cray. and Harry Revelle, who also contributed the use of his dog team for the cause. Many thanks ale due to the II. S Smelting and Refin- ing Company, Fairbanks exploration company branch as well as the |. $ Weather Bureau Station at Fair banks. both of which so kindly loan ed necessary equipment and precision instruments which were needed tor the survey.

top as observed in February. When the ice hits the bottom, often hun dreds of feet below, a greater part of it disintegrates into minute par ticles as fine as flour, which rise into the air like steam or smoke at the foot of the ice wall. This per haps accounts for the reports by some aviators who noticed these clouds, as having seen steam rise from the glacier.
 While it is not probable, if the present speed and direction of the ice are maintained, it is possible that the river bed would be filled ana the road cut off. The ice face now measures an average of 400 feet in height along it's front of q mile and a quarter. Some pinnaeles reach an elevation of nearly 800 feet above the gravel of the Big Delta River Valley
The Wrangell sentinel., 1937-05-14
Comparisons Made

"Some idea of the tremendous vol tunes Involved in this ice movement may be gained by the fact that this 400-foot wall of ice, moving on a 6,60O foot front. over a distance of 25 feet a day, means a movement of 2,40O,000 cubic yards of ice a day over grojnd where previously had been none After a movement of six days, the accumulated mass or material would require all five of the giant dredges of the F. E. Go, working at full capacity one year to remove, Also, in six days this movement represents more cubic yards of ice than all the cubic yards of material moved by the Alaska Railroad during it's construction. It is also a safe statement that, at the present rate of speed more ice is ad- vanced in four weeks than all the material moved by mankind in all his activities in the Territory of AL aska. It would require the contin- uous loading of 37 7000-ton ships to remove the ice of the glaciers daily advance.
 300 Photos Taken

basin over the top of the old, dead glacier.
 This point could be about 25 miles back instead of three miles. There is a good deal of evidence to sus- tain this theory The existing ice wall is many times higher and wid- CT than that of the dead glacier tongue had been. so that it is hard to account for the present volume if the old glacier has been merely showed out.
 During the survey, over 300 pho tographs were taken. These include several panoramas of the glacier valley as far as the glacier could be seen, as well as of the Big Delta Valley towards which the glacier now moves. Many of these were ta- ken at an elevation of from five to six thousand feet.
 IL will take considerable time to digest the information already se- cured. The scope of the problem n- yolyed is really beyond our meager resources, but we still have every intention of pursuing the inyesti- gation further.

Quakes Might Effect It

"Regarding the possibility of earthquakes causing the movement of Black Rapids Glacier, it is quite possible that the several quaRes which have been registered at the University seismograph and have been determined as originating not many miles from Fairbanks could have vastly accelerated the move ment of Black Rapids Glacier, loca- ted in the same general direction and not vesy far from a great fault which is well-known and had been observed near Shaw Creek along the Richardson Highway by the Alaska Road Commission quite a few years ago. On the other hand, most any of the numerous earthquakes, which occur quite frequently in this area of Central Alaska, may have been responsible for the loosening and eventual movement of the glacial mass which must have centered in the catchment basin, located at the very head of the glacier.

MOtOrman Hero.

K. M. Saylor, motorman in charge of
the operation of one of nobody knows
how many hundreds of trolley cars,
never intended to be hero. All that
he covenanted to do was to guide the
steel leviathan assigned to him. He
could not guess that brake bar would
crack and that he would find himself
powerless to halt his monster in a wild
dash through late-afternoon traffic on
Fifteenth street. Only when the mishap
had occurred and the car finally had
encountered an effective obstacle in the
form of another common carrier at F
street did he have opportunity to con-
slider the chance by which fame suddenly
comes unSought.

Wall Streets Tail Spin.

Various causes are attributed to the
sudden and severe decline in the stock
market yesterday. Chief among these is
the announcement of marked drop IN
steel production, which is traditionally
q barometer of business conditions.
Furthermore, the reaction to the deci-
sions by the Supreme Court, rendered
yesterday, was adverse, particularly to
those relating to the seizure of kilograms
and the rulings of the National Labor
Relations Board. Again. the "war news"
was none too favorable as respects inter-
national conditions. Whether the sharp
downward movement, involving a turn
over of more than three and quarter
million shares, the largest since the third
of March last, was a natural reaction or
was the result of a definite bear" drive
Is not clear. Nor is it for the moment
important, save as there may be ground
for recovery if the latter hypothesis is
correct. There is little evidence OF any
recent unwaranted upward swing due to
speculative activity. Had the market
been lately manipulated to unwarranted
heights yesterdays sharp slump could
have been regarded as return toward
normal and sound price levels, even

though it carried, In many cases. below
that point.
One possible factor in the current
sharp decline is the Presidents predic-
ton of net deficit of $685., 900 900 for the
current fiscal year, an increase of $277,-
100000 over the estimate which he made
in April and $732 100000 more than he
forecast in January. These successfully
higher figures have undoubtedly had
their effect in lowering the fiscal morale
of the country. That they should have
reacted unfavorably upon the stock
market is altogether logical. 1t has been
accepted that the steady increase in
the deficit must bring about a sharp
change of public policy and this means
curtailment of Government spending.
That in turn means a considerable busi-
ness readjustment, and it is within the
possibilities that this prospect has had
an influence in the virtual demoraliza-
ton of the securities market, as attested
by yesterdays violent reaction.

There was a dam that marched across
the Columbia River at Bonneville. 1t
marched with its gates and piers and
power house.
There we're salmon that marched up
the Columbia River from the great
Pacific Ocean The lusty chinook. the
slender but dynamic steelhead and the
small but flashing blueback were in the
line of march.
So the dam and the salmon, march
ing at right angles. compelled the United
States engineers to become traffic Off
GERS. The order issued was that the
march of the dam must stop, to let
the march of the salmon go on and up.
For the march of the salmon is the
march of the years. If they parade on
to the spawning streams, their finny
kind will populate the waters in time
to come and swim from the ocean into
cans that travel around the world.
In little while the salmon will have
passed by. Then the march of the
dam can go on again. There will be
no loss.
And the public might we'll stand

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Watching that fresh new grass come
up in the lawn is one of the greatest
pleasures of the gardening year.
Watching it, not in spring, but right
now, following seed sown a month ago.
1t wasn't SO many years ago that no.
body thought of grass in the fall.
Why, grass was something to SOW in
early March, so that by the time the
April rains came along, the fresh green
blades would be up and a-rearin' to 60.
Slowly year by year, grew an appre-
citation of autumn as mighty fine time
to brighten up an old lawn, in particular.
Many front yards, and back yards, too,
for that matter, went into the winter
looking very brown, even gray. as the
life blood seemed to 60 out of the grass
which had done duty for SO long.
1t never seemed to occur to most house,
holders that anything could be done
about it.
All this time the subject was being
given extensive study by Government
experiment stations across the country.
In time it came to be recognized, and
proved by these experts, that much could
be done toward rejuvenating a frayed
lawn at the very time it looked in the
worst condition.
Twas a satisfactory idea, and the best
part of it was that it could be proved
right at home.
The only trouble was that most folks
wouldn't go to the trouble.
Folks didn't much care to work around
over lawn when the leaves were falling
from the trees They wanted to rake
up leaves and burn EN-; they saw no
pleasure in trying to build up the lawn.
Yet the autumn seemed to be very
fine time for doing just that thing, judg-
ing from results secured so far.
True, it had been fine, warm season,
to this writing, SO that all the grass
planter had to do was keep the ground
wet.
That, of course, was where many fell
down with more than the proverbial
bang; those who skimped upon using
the hose found that the seedlings did
not do we'll.
Spring in a normal year, provided
plenty of water without much bother,
so that as far as the grass is concerned
there is no need for extra effort.
The one drawback to autumn planting
is that often the days are very dry.
Such weather, even when mild, is not
good for newly sprouted grass.
Hence the use of the hose, at least
every other day, was essential.
Several good rains, one Of them almost
too heavy, helped out immensely; by
mid October the planter felt himself
rewarded
There is nothing prettier in a garden
than a good lawn.
This has been said so many times,
surely there is no harm in saying it
again.
1t is encouraging for the gardener to
feel that his grass is going into the
winter good and green, with that fresh
look which makes grass SO pleasing to
the eye.
Green is that fresh look. 1t is the
fresh color of spring right here in the
fall, and it has an effect all the more
stimulating because of the time. For
many of us had become used to the idea
