CHAPTER THREE

Hilda sparklcd. her lashes swept
up and down again in the most
enchanting manner. She introduced
Keith right and left.
"Miss Clark. may I present my
friend, Mr.. Carhart >" or, quite
daringly, This is Sally and Jane.
Keith, they've been dying TO meet
YOU" And to the elderly gentle
man who was the big boss. "Will

Bradley. He wants to know you
She was simple. easy and natural,
proud and happy, on uptoe with
eagerness.
Keith had charming manner.
He said the right things, was cour-
teous, witty or humble ms the case
demanded. As they took the Gle
vator to the third floor he caught
Hildas hand and held II. In the
big, bare staff room the radio
hummed an enticing tune and he
swung her into dance. Hilda
had danced with no one but her
father. He had taken great pains
TO teach her. Keith's dancing was
different, intoxicatingly different.
After few rounds he said,
Nice foot work. little gal
And she laughed with a thrilled
undertone. Your kind common

frightened and she caught her
breath.
"onlv one Improvement could l

her ear, THE chassis is too stiff.

karl's dancing had been n bit
stiff. She knew II and let go. She
thought. I've breathed and walked
and talked and laughed for 20
years. but I've never lived until
tonight. My heart has never beat
until tonight"
Sitting on window seat. drink
ing coffee and eating sugary
doughnuts Keith said, "Do you
mind II tell you something very
daring"
Anything you say may be used
against you, mister" she replied
flippantly.

often found the line effective. In

Scientist Suggests
Painting Arctic 10
Change Temperature
Dr.. Londsbere Would
Spread Coal Dust
Over Large Areas
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,
Star stan Correspondent.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 28.-Pos-
sibility of markedly changing the
temperature Of the temperate zones
Of the earth and adding thousands
Of square miles Of habitable land was
advanced before meteorologists Of
the American Association for the
Advancement Of Science here today
by DR.. H. Landsberg Of Pennsylvania
State College.
He would paint the Arctic black.
Admittedly q titanic engineering
feat, small scale beginnings would
even now be practical, DR.. Lands
berg said. Much might be accom-
plished by dusting large areas Of ice
with coal dust from airplanes.
It is well known. he said. that
much Of the heat received by the
earth from the sun is lost by re-
Election from the white surfaces of
icecaps, such as that which covers
Greenland. and from glaciers, some
Of which are found filling valleys in
temperate climates, as in the Alps
Sources Of Cold Air.
"On large SCALE" said DR.. Lands
berg, "the polar regions are the
source regions Of the cold air masses
influencing the weather and cli-
mate Of the moderate latitudes. Pro-
found influences on climate could be
expected If it were possible to change
the rejecting power Of such areas.
A simple calculation will show that
during one summer the heat energy
that will be absorbed even In polar
regions by an area Of one square
mile covered with black dust is
equivalent to that Of 1000 tons of
coal.
"At q time when men are wran-
Cling for territory one might at least
ask the question whether it would
not be worth while to recover some
land from the eternal ice fields. 1t
at least seems feasible to melt of
by changing the rejecting power,
glacier tongues reaching into val
leys. These glaciers. by their cold
winds. often reduce the growing sea-
son Of the valleys more than 10 per
cent. In marginal regions they often
mark the limit for vegetable and
tree growth.
Tests With Coal Dust.
Drs. Landsberg has been conduct
ing experiments by covering ice and
snow with extremely thin layers Of
very fine coal dust. Such a surface
will reflect less than 10 per cent of
the solar heat which 1t receives. Un-
covered ice and snow surfaces reflect
more than 80 per cent Ice melts
much more rapidly. Measurements
on sunny days with air temperatures
continuously below freezing showed
that the temperature of snow COW
cred with coal dust remained at least
degrees Fahrenheit above that Of
the surrounding snow surface.
An immediate practical applica-
ton, DR.. Landsberg said, may be the
covering Of icy roads with coal dust
In the same way that sand now is
distributed to prevent skidding. It
would result in the road soon be-
coming ice free.
