GLACIERS NEVER. ENDING SOURCE OF WONDER IN JUNEAU

had overwhelmed a forest of Sitka spruce and western hemlock, the same species of trees that grow in this part of Alaska today. The retreating ice discloses the standing snags of the sheared-off trees and frequently even the moss ground cover, all still in place as they were before the glacier attempted come back. No one knows how long ago | this resurgence took place and for | how many years the forests were hidden under the ice, but the evil dence indicates that it all hap | pened in recent times--that is, in a period that would be spanned by hundreds of years and certainly not | by thousands.
 Iceberg Factory
 The Taku Glacier is vastly diff ferent from Mendenhall but of special interest in its contrasting features. It is a tidewater glacier with its front immersed in the sea of long fiord and it's discharged ice disposed of, not by melting on the frontal margin, but by breaking off as pergs. These bergs float back and forth for weeks on the tides of | the inter r-connected narrow water ways of this section of Alaska before | they have finally wasted away. Taku is about 15 miles in length from ice cap to Sea front and around one and fourth miles in width. Its sheer vertical front extends an av- | craze of 250 feet above the surface of the sea and the sight and sound of the bergs falling at frequent in tervals is a thrilling experience to the visitors on the steamers and smaller vessels which approach the face of the glaciers within almost a stones throw.
 The Taku is the only large glacier in Southeastern Alaska that is ad- yancing at this time. Observers first marked the position of the | face in 1890. A second survey in 1909 disclosed that the ice had ma- terially crowded forward into the sea since the orig in a mapping, showing definitely that the glacier was on the march. How far it had travelled before the surveys started no one knows. All surveys subse- quent to 1909 have shown the for ward movement to be still in pro- greSS The last observance was made by the Forest Service in 1889 The accompanying map gives the position of the ice front at various times since 1890, and shows that the thrust ahead in the past 50 years has reached a total of 3A miles The average vance has thus amounted to 343 feet per year, al- most one foot each day.
 Field For Study
 This huge Juneau ice sheet and it's many tributary upland and tide water glaciers, all within easy reach of modern town by trail, highway or launch, is a most unusual na- tural feature and one that offers the local residents and visitors an unexcelled opportunity to engage

battery separators and Venetian blind stock were investigated, but at present these appear to offer lit ,le promise for substantial develop ment in Southeastern Alaska.
 WyckOff Assigned
 JIM. Wyckoff was assigned in 1889 to the second phase of this job encouraging Alaska wood-using in- dustries. He uses the information that has been gathered on Alaska possibilities to carry on negotiations with manufacturers who are study ing this new field Much of the work consists of conferences with producers and users of wood pro- ducts in the Pacific Coast cities. Assistance is given to the Army and Navy and to the Southeast Alaska sawmills in making arrangements for the use of Alaska lumber in the new military establishments in the Territory. Among other projects to which time has been contributed are the installation of shingle mill at Ketchikan by former Puget Sound operator and the possible construction by Wrangell interests Of a lumber and shingle mill en- terprise in thct town
 The extraction ot peat is an in- dustry that is being strenuously en- couraged and several Pacific Coast importers of European peat are in vestigating extensive Southeastern Alaska peat deposits. Indications

 The resident of Juneau, ever though he lives in a country oi outstanding natural phenomena must necessarily look upon the great ice fields and glaciers back of his home city as something of excep- tional interest. Blanketing the high summit of the coast mountains and straddling the International Boun- diary from the gorge of the Taku River north to White Pass at Skag- way, is a thick ice cap hundreds of square miles in extent through which only the highest peaks pro- trude. Here also are long glaciers which serve to drain off ice from this cap down through the deep, winding valleys to the flat lowlands, or in some instances directly into the tidewaters of the fiords.
 The Juneau locality lies between two of these glaciers, the Menden- hall that descends for 10 miles from the ice cap to the low lying flats IA miles north of Juneau, and the Taku that drops into tideWater 20 miles southeast of Juneau.
 Curb Service
 It is said that the first is one of the few glaciers, if not the only glacier in the world, that can be reached directly by motor car. Thou sands of tourists yearly view with admiration and awe this winding mile-wide ribbon of glistening ice and the huge ever-changing blue faces and tunnels along the glac- ier's fan-shaped terminus.
 It is a receding glacier, that is it's rate of downward flow from the ice field is insufficient to offset tht melting that takes place in tht warmer, lower country, with the re- suit that it's face or frontal margin is slowly retreating up the valley Between 15O and 200 years ago tn, Mendenhall Glacier reached to sal water on Gastineau Channel. To- day the face is five miles inland Markers have been placed by the Forest Service showing the position of the ice front in 1906 and at sub sequent days, and from this the av' craze rate of retreat has been found to be 58 feet year
 i Strange Forest
 The receding glacier is also un covering an nter-glacier" forest striking illustration to Menden halls many visitors of the fact tha some of the Alaska glaciers have, a times, interrupted their retreat Ill the valleys and proceeded for period of years to advance. Thi appears to be an attempt, in smal way, to revive the distant Ice Age when great sections of North Amer ica and Northern Europe were GOV cred by the gradual advance ot tht ice sheet downward from the Polal region This latter day advance O Mendenhall was finally checked b, unknown causes and recession agair set in, but the temporary advance

W00D-U5ING INDUSTRIES
 ENCOURAGED
Forest Service Lays Plans for Small Factories
 of Future Day
By CHAS. II. FORWARD II. s. Forest Service

During the greater part of the past two years a man has been as signed by the Forest Service to the study and promotion of minor wood using and other forest industries in Alaska The principal purpose in view is to encourage enterprises that will help to eliminate the pres ent great seasonal unemployment situation in Southeast Alaska
 The preliminary phases of the work were conducted by Junior For ester R. R. Robinson in 1888. He gathered the comprehensive indus trial information which was needed before active promotion of forest industries for Alaska could be be- gun. This information included kinds of enterprises that might be built up on Alaska products meth ods of manufacture, production costs, markets transportation costs and quantity and quality of raw materials available in the Territory
 fCdt, SnutS itS, NostltiCS
 Among the industries studied werc the development of extensive peat deposits; expansion of red cedar shingle production, which now sup plies only a small percentage of the roofing used in Alaska; establish ment of small plants to produce nov- city items such as yellow cedar blocks for toys; development of a market for yellow cedar for furni- lure, cabinet making, motor ana sail boat planking, and other spec iality uses; increased use of spruce and hemlock from Alaska sawmills in local building construction.
 The economics of wood preserva- tion was studied with the hope of introducing one such plant into Southeast Alaska and thereby cut ting down on the amount of pre- served piling and lumber now shipped from Continental United States each year. The feasibility of exporting cedar telephone poles to the Eastern States via the Ca- nadian Northern Railway at Prince Rupert was also considered. The present production of spruce oars by the one small plant at Ketchikan was found to be Insignificant as compared to the potential market Other small items such as handles for fish gaffs were shown to offer ready market in Alaska.
 Industries that would produce

oFOR THE examination of the
heart, modern medicine has many
efficient methods. In fact, it may
be said that except for the diseases
of the eye, the modern physician
is better equipped to form an exact
and mathematical concept of the
heart than of any other organ in
the body.
This examination consists of
first getting the patients history,
finding out what infections he has
had, and whether on any particu-
lar occasion of sudden strain or
Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1940-09-13

eXertion the heart failed to re-
spond to the demands put upon it
its failure being exhibited either
by pain or shortness of breath.
The instrumental examination
with the stethoscope, the x-ray
and the blood pressure apparatus
will give the alert physician a
very clear conception of whether
there is any organic change in the
heart or circulatory system-any
enlargement of the heart, any val
vular incompetency or obstruc-
ton, any hardening of the arteries
which impose an extra burden on
the hearts action.
Recording Changes
Then, with the instrument
known as the electrocardiograph,
record can be made of the cleo
trical changes in the heart muscle
during contraction which give an
indication of the smoothness with
which the muscular action of the
heart is being carried on. The
heart is nothing but a hollow mus
Gle, designed to do work. 1t does
very hard work, as much in day
as many engines or machines, and
In order to do it, the muscular ac-
ton must coordinate in a certain
way. When this coordination is
disrupted, either from irritation
by polsonS or nervous stimula-
ton, or because of excessive strain
or weakness of the lQuScle itself,
more or less serious Consequences
may follow. All these :i?gs the
electrocardiograph can de- t and
often safeguard.

How Much Will 1t Stand?

suppose you examine a heart
and find it apparently all right
no enlargement, no anatomic de-
feet, no obvious disorder of the
musculature. Still you may want
to know-how much work will that
heart do? How much will it
stand These questions may be
very important before long when
the examination of the conscript
troops for the army occurs. How
much can this fellows heart do, is
the question. Will it sustain him
when he has to carry so many
pounds of equipment through so
many days of hard fighting?
About the best test we have for
the functional capacity of the
heart is observation of the pulse
and blood pressure before and
after doing a measured amount of
work-say rapid ascent of 20
steps or 80 lifts of twenty-pound
weights. If the elevation of pulse
rate is less than so per cent and
returns to normal in three minutes.
this is considered a g5od func-
tional response. But this Sort of
test is not very dependable. More
so are observations of the electro
cardiogram before and after shot
of adrenalin (which is considered
the same as exercise). The electri-
cal response gives an idea of the
integrity of the heart muscle.
