Now it is decidedly different.
Over Old Glacier

"The glacier is estimated to have moved about three and a half miles since it started travel ing so fast last fall, following heavy rains in October. The rains probably fabricated the under part of the glacier, and some claim the present glacier is nov ing over the top of a more anc- tent glacier, whose surface, after beng affected by the waters and movement of the upper body has become quite smooth. About half along the length of the glacier from it's mouth it seems to have buckled to possibly a height of 5000 feet. Heavy down drafts prevented us flying close to the face.
 We landed in the plane up- stream from the roadhouse, and walked in ordinary foot wear to the glacier and over the river ice to the roadhouse without using snoWshoes.'
 "The idea that the glacier might be broken up with dynamite or bombs seems fantastic. From all appearances all the dynamite in America would not affect the gen eral volume of the glacier any more than an attack of a regment of fire flies"
 'The glacier now is about at the jaws of the moraine and brak ing and spreading, and may go to pieces there or along the banks of the river as fast as it reaches that point without causing any conditions to endanger the road house-but it is a rare and awe some spectacle" Fairbanks Daily News Miner.

Out Over Land

One of the strangest phases is that the glacier is now moving out over the valley plain where trees, shrubs, moss and flowers have grown politically. Most glaciers I have seen have fronted on the sea, where the tumbling fragments fell into the ocean wa ters. Here the cracking tons of ce falling to solid earth below the face, to be ground, smashed and scattered by the oncoming main body.
 White glacial water flows in a comparatively small stream along one side, and murky waters, pro- baby caused by the contacts in the newly cut banks of the gen. eral path flow along the other

 FAIRBANKS, March 18th-An apparent proof that humans of comparatively high order lived contemporaneously with the mann moth in this area, was reported, in the discovery of a flint spear head, embedded in the upper jaw bone of a baby Mammoth.
 The antropological relic was dis covered by Peter Maas, frozen in the muck of Ester Creek, ten miles from here, where the U. s. Smelt- ing, Refining and Mining Com pany are preparing to start their spring operations.
 News of the find was confirmed by General Manager Roy Earling. The spearhead which is of fine workmanship, has been forward ed to the American Museum of Natural History, New York.

side.
 When We first went there we could walk up to the face, but the last day it was too wet and too dangerous to approach it. The face is about a mile and quarter wide. Pinnacles of ice rise to a height of about 500 feet along the center of the face, and the outer edges to about 300 feet. When the massive chunks fall from the heights they crash with thunder ing effects.

MIRACLE HOUSE OPENS

Approximately 1875 happy children
arrived at the Miracle House last
Monday to spend the summer at the
seashore building up their strength
and resistance so that they can wage
successful warfare against tubercu-
losis-a disease with which they
have been in constant contact.
"These children come from many
different sections of the state" said
William B. Matthews, Managing Di-
rector of the Maryland tuberculosis
Association, the organization which
operates the Miracle House. "This
group is one of the largest that has
ever been to the. preventorium and
this season should be the most sue
cessful. It was necessary to turn
down many applications due to lack
of space, but those who were selected
were carefully chosen and should de-
rive great benefit from the treat
ment."
The present season is the nine
teenth in the history Of the Miracle
House. During this time more than

DAIRY BARN BURNS

Fire, believed caused by spontan-
eous combustion, Friday evening de-
stroyed the large dairy barn on the
farm of Richard Hourdequin, near
Avondale, Pa, with loss estimated
at $4,000. The prize Guernsey
herd was saved by Mr.. Hourdequin
and farm workers.
Sparks from the barn set fire to
the roof of the Hourdequin home
but this was quickly extinguished by
West Grove and Avondale firemen.
The loft of the building was filed
with recently cut alfalfa hay. The
road leading to the farm is under
going repairs, preventing firemen
from getting to the scene until the
structure was destroyed.

DROP IN NUMBER OF FARMERS
CALLED PROSPERITY SIGN

Agriculture Department economists
noted a traditional sign of pros
perity-decline in the farm pop
ulation.
They said persons living on farms
at the start of the year totaled 3D.
729,00O, a decrease of $4,000 from
Jan. /. 1885. 1t was the first de-
cline since 1929.
During prosperous periods, they
explained, more young farm men and
women found jobs in the cities and
towns and fewer persons returned
from urban centers to the country,
where they could at least find food
and shelter.
The movement from farms to ur-
ban centers was estimated at 1866
900 persons and the reverse trend at
$4,000 persons. This net loss ex-
ceeded the gain of births over
deaths.

C. & ID. CANAL READY IN FOUR
MONTHS

The Chesapeake and Delaware Ship
Canal will be completed in four
months, G. H. Pouder, director of the
Export and Import Bureau of the AS
ISOLATION of Commerce, announces.
Plans are being made for cere-
monies to mark the formal opening
A special bureau subcommittee, con-
sisting of G. F. Ravenal, chairman,
H. E. Emmart, j. T. Menzies, John
M. Nelson, Jr., and A. D. Stebbins,
has been appointed to prepare a
suitable program.
By the end of October the Chesa-
peake Bay approach channels will
have been dredged to a depth of
twenty-seven feet for the full project
width Of 400 feet.
Three dredges of the Canal Con-
struction Co. are at work along the
canal proper. Contracts covering the
maintenance of channels dredged to
the required depth are to be awarded
shortly
The Standard Dredging Company,
the Arundel Corporation, and the
Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific Company
are pushing work on five other sec
lions, now estimated to be eighty
per cent complete.

RELIEF ROLLS BEING REDUCED

Harry Hopkins, assured that Con-
gress will provide 81, 50O,00O,00 for
relief in the next IL months, set his
Works Progress Administration to
the task of trimming it's rolls to l.
655,477 persons.
Hopkins estimated that this goal
"a 314,759 reduction from the total
on June 5-would be reached by
July Is.
Relief officials said rolls were be-
ing cut simply through not replac-
ing men who found jobs in private
industry" and by checking the lists
for ineligibles.
Both House and Senate have pas
sed relief bills, and al joint commit
tee has been appointed to compose
minor differences.
WPA employment shrank all thru
the weeks Congress was debating re-
lief, going under 100000 late in
May for the first time since Novem-
Der, 1885.
The shrinkage, plus seasonal sum-
mer declines, encouraged WPA offic-
ials to believe they can manage the
curtailment, in the face of daily pro-
tests from worker groups.
Comparing the $1,000, 100000 ap-
proved by Congress for relief in fiscal
1888 to the estimated 2,175,OOO,0 900
spent in 1887, WPA officials empha-
sized their need of cutting corners.
The Resettlement Administration
will have $1OO,OOO,0O0 in the com
ing year and the National Youth Ad-
ministration may spend up to $751;,
100000. This leaves $1,325,000,-
900 for WPA--which spent about
1850, 100000 in the year now end
ing.
WPA has Abandoned some white
collar projects, ordered theatre and
writer's project directors to hold
back new activity, and effected such
minor economics as abolishing its
"press digest.

FORTY-EIGHT HOUR MARRIAGE
LAW DELAYED
ElIxtOn Taximen, Parsons, Trades

R1Orlxo NnW Art
Blocks New Act

BLOCKS new AcG
Gloom which surrounded Elkton's
marrying parsons, taxicab drivers,
and tradespeople since the Legisla-
ture passed the 48-hour marriage
law has been dispelled by assurance
that the act has been automatically
made imperative until after the gen.
eral election of November, 1888.
A petition to the Secretary of
State, signed by 1907 persons
forced the 16-month postponement of
legislation which was designed, its
proponents said, to end the "easy
marriage racket"
Under the 48-hour law, two days
must elapse between the application
for a license and the ceremony. But
until the voters of Maryland decide
in referendum whether they wish
these restrictions imposed, Elkton
and her sister marriage capitals"
will continue to be the haven of al
tar-bound couples.
Elkton also claims the credit for
originating the petitions which pre-
vented the law from going into effect
June /, as the legislators intended.
William l.. Cam, Elkton taxicab op-
orator, headed the movement which
resulted in 5000 names being sub
mitted to the secretary of state be-
fore the deadline on June 1. This
resulted in 30-day delay, but doubt
was expressed by many that total
of 10000 names could be obtained
within 80 day period, thus forcing
a referendum.
Petitions, however, were circulated
throughout the state and total of
1907 names obtained. The city of
Baltimore contributed 1892 sigma
lures and the rest of the state, 7175.
