PA (IE TEN LOST ICEBERGS HUGE PJIYSTERY Coast Guard Fails to Sight Any This Season Upon Steamer Lanes By V. B. COLTON (Associated Press Science Writer) WASHINGTON, (AP) P- senger liners are speeding across the north Atlantic this season free for the first Jane on record from the specter of collision with, an icebers. ' Vessels of the U. S. coast vnarH'a .mitlnsr fleet hare not vt iphterf a. single "enemy berg south of the danger point in the vicinity of the 45th parallel of latitude. ' Th cutters of the coast guard ice patrol are waiting in port for vord that the hostile "iceberg flt Is annrnachlng.' Usually the ice natrl is called nn rt ire dntv early im the spring. rennrtinz the nreseuce of ice bergs to ships by radio .and noting the change in the bergs' ' positions from day to day. - Thlsyear the expected invasion v.. toMfA tn materialize, although experts predicted on the basis of past observations . tnat neiween soft and 300 iceberg would drift into the shipping lanes during the season from March to Aug ust. 1931. "Fleet" Mav Be Stranded Coast guards officers suggest that I the iceberg "armada" prob ably i has become stranded along th mhnrfR of Baffin island and Labrador before reaching north ' Atlantic waters. The glaciers of Greenland, which annually launch hundreds of Iceberg "dreadnoughts" In far northern waters, did not fail to produce their quota this year, it is believed, but the warm winter of 1930-31 may hare driven tns - Ire fleet ashore. The warm . weather probably caused les field ice than; usual to form along the shores of Baf- " fin island and Labrador, eoast guard officers say. As a result the iite Is deserving of careful con icebergs cauld be easily driven sideration. especially the smaller ashore and stranded. During a cold winter, on tne other hand, heavy, field ice form- ing along the shore would keep pe rules to be followed in design the bergs out in the channel, ln. the small house if It Is to away from land, and the La bra dor current would carry them : down to the ship lanes. Number Varies Greatly The number of icebergs that reach the liner routes varies rreatlv from year to year, al though this is the first recorded year in which none had been seen up to June 1. Only eleven were noted in 1924. but in 1929 there were more than 1,300. In 1912, the year the steamship Titanic struck an iceberg, l.uis bergs were seen. The Ice patrol. carried on by the coast guard and financed by 14 Interested nations, was instituted as a result of the Titantlc disaster, in which mon? than 1,000 lives were lost. Icebergs are enormous masses of fresh water Ice that break off from the glaciers of the Green- ' land ice sheet, which' moves as much as 50 feet a day down to- ward the sea. The largest bergs are far larg- er than any ship. They tower as high as 300 feet out of water. and extend five or six times as far below the surface. K. OF C. STAYTON.

The HARMONY QF HOUSE AND the main wall, measured from the ground to the cornice line, must not be great. Steep roofs or large spaces of roof areas do not mater ially efect the apparent height of a house. The house should be built of local materials, such as side-walls of stone In a locality where stone prevails,, and heavy hand-rited shingles for side-walls find an appropriate setting in densely wooded sites. The use of low. connecting walls tends to spread the house and tie it to the site. Such details as tall chim neys, small paned windows, and a good relation between wall space and door and window openings all play a. part Jn the composition.
