(BY UNITED PREss)

The United States win enter the i940's with tho same New Year Eve hilarity as 1t embarked on ieS0's, but the celebrations will differ in several essentials,
 Liquor was Illegal in 1929, bootleg prices were high. The stock market had crashed O few months before, High-prieed night clubs were pack ed as usual but many participants had nothing but hope to spur their celebrations,
 A rising stock market, legal liquor, and Q consequent reduction of price, and lower rates at night clubs will make this New Years Eve Q gayer one.
 The lid will be off In New York City, as it will be in Los Angeles and San Francisco and in Chicago, although somewhat a-legally, Tn Detroit, Washington, Philadel- phia, pittsburgs, St, Louis, Kansas City, Milwaukee and Salt Lake City legal complications will muSsle pub lie hilarity.

ESTES PARK, Col.-After shrink ing steadily for five years, two Col orado glaciers made a comeback this year that one official calls little short of phenomenal.
 If other glaciers in the United States have grown as much as these, Earl A. Trager, chief of the national park naturalist division, believes it will be definite indica- tion' that the United States is en- tering wet cycle.
 The two are .Tyndall and An drews, mile-long bodies of ice that snuggle up against the Conntinental divide in Rocky Mountain national park

Many Skiing On
 SeCondMeadoW Over Week End

Saturday provided good skiing, and large crowd was on the first and second meadows. A good per- centage of the Haida personnel was present, inclu ding Commander Ricketts and several of his officers. All were making real progress in learning to control the runners un- der them, and it was delightful to rec at last a couple of girls swing through flush using sharp short p0le-christries instead of the old wide-swinging stem turns. Among local girl skiers, Virginia Smith is quite bit ahead of the rest at pre- sent. At that, she has to walk four miles each time she goes skiing, be- fore she reaches the foot of the ski trail. We need more girl skiers like her.
 Sunday was one of those days when the ski area experienced what Californians call mist In spite of it., about twenty die-hards, including seven girls, went skiing. The girls are to be congratulated on their hardihood in appearing for race that was not held, under such ad- verse conditions.
 The Four Horesmen, Bert Caro, Ralph Moreau, Jay Williams and Wild Bill Hixon, as usual, felt the -Aa f> IN 1o cn h nu went on up to the upper cabin, each with his own secret dope mixture on his skis, each out to discover if they could. which of them would win the Moller trophy race in February over the course they were ascending. Wild Bill fooled the others on the run down, as he, using jumping skis, streaked away from the rest.
 Actually, it would seem that for racing down the "old7 ski trail that jumping skis will give a man at least minute faster time than will regular sdown-mountain skis, as the course is quite straight, and al- though fast, not very steep.
 On the other hand, the down. mountain race on the new" ski trail, which is both very steep and has many sharp curves, will never be won on anything but steel-edged down n-mountain skis, as great pre- cision in turning sharply at high speeds is absolutely essential for making fast time on this trail.
 Interviewed recently at an OK slinging session around the stove of the favorite ski-racer's hang-out, Hixon said, in answer to query concerning his chances in the race on the new trail; T don't dare think about it, even, it's going to be so tough-but I'll take it as fast as I can" And Moreau between swigs of soda-pop, murmured Won't we all"
 With Joe Werner leaving for two months iii Seward, the ski club loses one of it's most valued members. Other ,skiers often disagreed with Joe about details of technique. but are arguments were always lively and interesting, and with his ab- sence, we will miss the debates on the relative merits of downhill ver- sus jumping, and whether one should pick up one ski when stem ming.
 Joe will represent the ski club at the Anchorage Fur Rendezvous next month.

TOO MANY CIRCLES
 And when election day came around there were more circles than crosses so the reorganization plan was defeated.
 But that was not all. The bureau officials desired that new members of the Indian council to be elected should be at least open minded on the question of soil conservation. After all, the Navajo reservation is being rapidly washed away, even though there is scarcely a single year-round stream on it.
 But again. came the trouble of the ballots. The Indians could not read. So the scheme was hit upon

 1t was year or more ago that the Indian Bureau campaigned through the reservation in favor of the Indian reorganization bill. The bureau looked upon it as a {, godsend to the Indians, since 1t of- fered them increased self govern ment, further allotments of gov ernment cash, and other little benefactions.

Building Costs Below
25-Yeur AVERAGE

Industrial building costs in the
first half of 1899 were per cent
below the 25-year average for such
work, according to a cost chart
maintained by the Austin Co., en-
gineers and builders. The chart re-
cords the average cost per square
foot of one-story daylight plant
construction by quarters starting
with January, 1918.
The current cost is $1.4O per
square foot as compared to a 25-
year average of $152. It compares
with a record high of $2.67 in spring
of 1921 and depression low of $1.O8
during the first half of 1888. These
costs do not include heating, light
ing and plumbing
Prices given on the chart are
based on actual construction cost
records covering extensive opera
ton in industrial areas throughout
the Northeastern part of the United
States, including the area from the
Mississippi Valley to the Atlantic
Coast and north of the Mason
Dixon line, few larger cities ex-
cepted.
