The
Rambler
Is interested
In the Weather
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Like everyone else, the
Rambler has always been
interested in the weather.
During World war I. he took
a short course in meteor
ology for aviation. He didn't
learn much, and the war
ended before he had a
chance to ny a plane.
He has been interested in
weather forecasting since
he began newspaper work
shortly after the war.
Editors occasionally let
young reporters write Page ]
weather stories.
The Rambler remembers
writing again and again
about cold air from the
Great Lakes reducing the
temperature.
Then he attended one of
vilhjalmur Stefansson's lee
lures and learned how silly
he had been to think that
his marrow had been chilled
because the wind had blown
across the lakes.
That air had become cold
north Of the Arctic Circle in
Siberia, Alaska or Canada's
Mackenzie Valley. The open
water Of the Great Lakes
had taken some Of the cold
out of 1t, but not very much.
Stetansson, who was a dis
tinguished scientist as well
as an Arctic explorer, be-
came q success on the lee
ture platform in the days
before radio and Tv by tell
Ing his audiences some simple

THE IDEA that the farther
north you 60 the colder 1t
gets was also silly, he said.
Temperatures in Alaska dur
ing the summer were often
unbearably high. He would
cite the fact that during
President Harding's visit to
Alaska in the summer Of 1928
Dust before he died., sew
eral persons in his audiences
were Frustrated by heat.
The North Pole was not
the coolest spot in the North
ern Hemisphere, he said. 1t
was not the coolest, because
it was in an ocean area.
Water gives out heat as it
freezes and even ice gives up
heat as it becomes cooler.
He chose Bemidji, MINI,
as probably the coolest spot
on the North American con-
tinent, because 1t was low
and inland. He ventured
that winter temperatures
there were probably lower
than at the North Pole, a
hypothesis that recent tenn
perature checks at the North
Pole have not disproved.
Bemidji is now known as
the "ice box Of America, /"
and its low temperatures al
ways appear in Associated
Press roundups on a cold
snap.
StefansSon was aware of
the air mass theory Of a
great Norwegian meteoroIo-
gist, ]. A. B. Bjerknes, now at
the University of California.
In the old days, the data on
which weather was predicted
were for the most part
barometric pressures on land
and sea. Barometric pres
sures reported by airplane
pilots at high attitudes led
Bjerknes to suggest that
weather in the Northern
Hemisphere is largely deter
mined by masses of cold
heavy air that break away
from the air above the Arctic
zone and slide across con-
tinents and oceans in a
southeasterly direction.

10 R.-The State Assembly
voted 43 to 90 yesterday to de-
clare a six-year moratorium on

anyone in a prison or while try
ing to escape.
A prisoner assaulting a guard

Drunkenness
 Named as Major Problem of Natives

WASHINGTON, R-An Alas kan physician has reported that drunkenness is a major problem among the territorys native peo- ples.
 Dr. Hazel Blair, an Alaska De- partment of Health physician aboard the ship Hygiene, said in a recent report of one Eskimo viii Iage noted by the Public Health Service:
 Apparently the natives do not drink during Lent, but at other times of the year most of them are intoxicated most of the time.
 "The teacher reports that often many of the older children come to school with hangovers or are so sleepy they are unable to do their lessons.
 Homes are so noisy and dis orderly at night that the children are unable to get their rest, 50 they sleep at school"
 On the national level the Pub lie Health Service reports Indian health problems are about the same as they were 50 years ago because of a lag in knowledge of personal and public health prac- tices.
 The death rate in Indian chil- dren is twice that of the national average. Accidents and control able. childhood diseases are the major causes.
 Alaska's H alth Department noted that many nutritional dis eases, including secondary ane- mias in children and women of child-bearing age, are major health problems, as well as the communicable diseases.
