 But after the war, he said, "we folded up our northern defenses in line with peacetime policies Of this country" However he addde, there was left nucleus which could be expanded"

 Complete results will not be known, he said until reports have been submitted by his group com manders.

Snow and Cold

(By The Associated Press,

Snow and a stinging cold wave counter attacked the army's bliz- gard relief forces in North Dakota today and sent temperatures down to around zero as far south as Iowa.
 Just as the army was about to write off Operation SnoWbound as mission accomplished, two inches of snow and strong winds closed more than 2,000 miles of North Dakota highways over the weekend. In the same day the army's bulldozers had completed opening only about l,200 miles. The army said at least another day would be required to reopen the neWly-closed roads.
 Temperatures throughout the area, the only sector still snow bound, ranged from zero to around 20 below. Low readings of around zero were in prospect also for Mason City and Spencer, Iowa.
 The cold wave was expected to move eastward across Minnesota and Wisconsin today.

Interesting Aurora Sidelights are Told By Dr. E. F. George

 Miss Aurora is as coy as she is tickle; she tells us very little. Ac- cording to Robert Service, the po- ct, 'It's a mine, mine of the pre- cious stuff that men call radium. It's million dollars pound, they say, and there are tons and tons in sight. You can see it gleam in golden stream in the solitudes of night"
 Modern View The Aurora of mythology was the goddess of the dawn, but the modern aurora is of younger gen. eration-she keeps late hours, travels by radio and retires at dawn. When Miss Aurora stages one of her most capricious fan dances, pirouettes and flirts, sWirls her skirts and taps out the music of the spheres with her sil- ver-shod feet, one is too fascin- ated to try to take her measure However, that is exactly what Professors Fuller and Bramhall, of this University, did.
 Parallax Used Carl Stormer, of Norway, devel- oped the method of measuring haw far up in the ether it is to where Miss Aurora gambolS and plays. 1t is a parallax method. From points twenty miles apart. simultaneous photographs of the SportiVe goddess are taken. One photo shows her flirting with the stars in one part of the sky, while the other picture reveals her mak- ing love to some other conStella- tion. From her apparent shift of position, her height is computed.

 Scientists say however, that the aurora is due to electrified parti- cles up where the air is so thin that you could call it a vacuum. The sun spitS these particles at us with a probable speed of thou sands of miles per second.
