 Path of Man
 On Way to Hell"

BATH, N. C., Feb. 24-Science has tried to find a different eX- planaticn but m any folks here think eight shallow pits in the soft earth just off the main high way are 100-year- hOofprints of the man on his way to hell"
 An old legend says that more than a century ago a country gen. tleman and madcap companions in this oldest North Carolina town were given to horse racing on Sun day and one day the gentleman, galloping down the lane, shouted to his steed to take him in win her or take him to hell.
 Whereupon, so the story goes, the horse dug it's hooves into the soft earth and with two mighty leaps hurled the rider against a nearby tree, killing him. Residents point to rotting stump of a tree to bolster the legend.
 Some scientists think that per- haps an underground pocket of water or air has it's vein in the lit tie ruts and keep them perpetual ly in existence. Bath folk are slow to accept this explanation.

S0VIETS IN THE ARCTIC

Rescue of the Soviet scientists. led by Ivan Papa nin from an Arctic ce-floe off Greenland after drifting more than 700 miles from their original polar base has set the fear that they would be lost but it has aroused wide interest in what they found out and what the expedition was expected to prove Much that they discovered no doubt will remain the secret of the Soviet government However, some interesting sideghts of what they have already re- ported by radio is given in recent article by Walter Duranty writing from Moscow to the New York Times MT. Duranty writes:
 Their mission had three prime objects-to study wind weather and atmosphere pressure, to study depths, currents and surface drifts, and to study life whether plant or animal in the and about the surface. There was too fourth purpose which can- not be gnored-to set such an example of sefess devotion to science to their fellow countrymen and the rest of the world as to prove that the Russia now ranks on full
 equality with the earlier trail blazers of
 other lands

Too Much Colleging?

 Our system of colleges and universities is in the throes of an of introspection. President James B. Conant of Harvard expresses fear that higher edu cation too expansive and guardedly suggests that
 reduction in the total number of students in the uni versailles would be desirable. This by the way is conclusion frequently tnidy hinted at by numerous educators.
 Two main have been advanced why it might be desirable curtail enrolment in institutions of higher learning President Conant dealt with one in speaking of the danger of over-crowding the pro- fessions On Europe he pointed out the problem of unemployment in the learned professions is quite acute, and in this country mo knows how serious is the unemployment of university men in the absence of reliable and interpretative statistics.
 A generation back the tangible value of college education was unmisakabe. The vast increase ill the facilities higher learning which has taken place in years reflection of the determna ton of fathers who worked with the hands that their children should be given the advantages of college education Lost sight of, in the rush to qualify the oncoming generation for white-collar jobs, the fact that the law of supply and demand was being floued Scarcity of collegetr men enabled them to command relatively high salaries generation or so ago. but in recent years the supply has been n- creased greatly that the market for white-collar jobs has been fairly glutted Inevitably, the dis proportion between the income of the college gradu- ate and for instance the skilled mechanic has in many instances reversed And this despite the ltechnoogical trend which meanwhile has expanded the demand for college trained men and women.

A SALUTE TO THE MODERN DOUGLAS

It was just year ago yesterday, our Douglas correspondent points out since the big ire swept that city laying the major part of 1t in ashes work and savings of life time for many went up in the flames Business houses, private homes most of them with all their contents, were lost. It was black day a year ago in Douglas. Some predicted the end of the city, but they prophesied without considering the spirit of the people of Juneaus twin city across the channel.
 Less than 48 hours after Douglas had been re- duced to pile of ashes a new Douglas rising from the smoulderng ruins With the aid of it's neghbors and the Territorial Legislature the resi- dents of Douglas frightened up their belts rolled up their sleeves and went to work. Douglas they said, would come up out of the ashes better and pretter city than ever Every admired their spirit but there were many who thought it an almost hopeless task But not the citizens of Douglas.
 Twelve months have passed since that great fire and over across the channel has arisen the resi- dents of Douglas promised finer and more modern
 little city It is far better looking and better housed town than it was before the disaster. It is dotted with modern business houses bright new homes, new school building and other new dress. There is some work yet to be done but it will be finished before long.
 Stricken Alaska towns have established kind of tradition for surmounting catastrophy, but no finer example of be found in the history of the north land than that displayed by the residents of Douglas in raising from the ashes of ruin fine modern little city. A city that not only the citizens of Douglas can be proud of but one of which all Alaska is proud

send messages, often three or four times daily. Some of this material has been published, but there is a mass of additional data now being studied by various institutes.
 Indeed this writer was authoritatvely in- formed some months ago that enough has already been learned to warrant the asser- ton that the polar station has accomplished wo-thirds of it's appointed task"
 Some of the most important discoveries have already been made public in general terms-for instance that the polar region is not as previously imagined, the weather kit chen for the upper part of the whole Northern Hemisphere, but is itself subject to external interference To cite an article published at the end of December by Professor Nikolai zuboff, chief meteorologst of the Great Nor thern Sea Route Administrations
 The central part of the Arctic was always regarded as the chief influence of the weather in the northern hemisphere. It was thought that from time to time masses of dry, cold air descended thence, causing clear frosty weather in winter and clear droughty weather in summer
 "The observations of the polar station have showed that instead of a constant re- zion of high atmospheric pressure over the Central Arctic, owing to the cooling effect of the ice there actually there is constant low pressure. Further nVeStlgatlon showed InaI cyclones born in the Atlantic Ocean frequently broke through to the polar area. This is cardinal discovery"
 Another surprise was the unusually high speed of drift The general direction of the drift had been estimated correctly, but some earlier observers had put it as low as mile per week or even month whereas MT. Papanin found it averaged two and half miles daily throughout and sometimes reached six or seven miles daily.
 Third. the scientific world was inclined to ac- cept the theory that 'plankton"-the name given to all forms of small animal and vege- table life that is the primary food of sea deni- zens-was virtually non-eXistent in the polar basin. But it was wrong. net raised from a depth of 5000 feet swarmed with tiny crabs jellyfish, red crayfish and innumetable sea- weed growthS. Below 10000 feet the quantity diminished but it remained considerable.
