Holly Theater Will Reopen Saturday ftanrisipwitmfnt(Stou OF T Prehistoric Land Connec tions Between Antarctica And Present Continents One Of Great Problems. Bv HARKT W. KRANTZ (United Press Staff Correspondent.) (Copyright, 1833, by United Press.) WASHINGTON. (OT) Rear-Ad mlral RIchsrd E. Byrd, in his forth coming exploration at the bottom of the old world, will have an oppor tunlty for "detective work" on one of the greateat scientific problema per' talnlng to the ancient world the prehistoric land connections between Antarctica and the present contln ents of America, South Africa and Australia. Dr. Waldo Schmltt of the National Museum, authority on the Ecology of southern -latitudes, in an Interview with the United Press, suggested that any observations of collectlone by the Byrd expedition tending to prove that Antarctica was the "crossroads of the ancient world" would be an exceed ingly valuable contribution to science Clues Discovered. Dr. Schmltt'a field studies of ma rine life have taken him to Robin son Crusoe's Juan Fernandea island In the South Pacific, to the Falkland Wands In the Atlantic and to Decep- tlon Island In the Antarctic, where he haa found clues Indicating the prehistoric land connections. Proof of the ancient land bridges, however, awaits additional fossil deecoverles of plant or animal life In the Icy wastes of the Antarctlo continent. "There Is reason to believe that In the tertiary period, possibly 35,000, 000 years ago, there was land con nections between the present day Antarctica and the land maasea far northward," Dr. Schmltt told the United Press. There are Teetlge of prehistoric plan life on Juan Fernandeii Islsnd, too miles oft the Chilean coast, vrhlch la a veritable treasure house for scientists. Evidence Seen. "On this Island are found tree ferns, reaching a height of about 18 feet, of which the nearest relatives of which are In New Zealand. There are no similar tree ferns at present on the South Amorlcan mainland. They may have been preserved only on the Island because of Its equable and uniform climate. There also exists on Juan Fernan des Island a small spider which until quite recently waa known only in South Africa. A third possible clue tc an ancient land connection by way of the Antarctic U a certain kind ' of crab found alao In New Zealand." Dr. Schmltt pointed out that Swed ish, and British exp.urers In Antarctic lands have found various fossil re mains, tout additional evidence of Ail kind la needed. Abundant fossil de posits undoubtedly exist beneath the deep Antarctlo Ice, but their discov ery would require an Immense amount of blasting. Would Aid Geologists, Scientists, therefore, are hopeful that In 1U exploralton of hitherto unknown regions, the Byrd expedi tion may find areas where fossils are easily accessible, and In varletlea comparable to trie present or former life In South America, New Zealand and South Africa. Such discoveries would aid geologists In tracing the Unea of the partially vanished con tinent of the tertiary period. Although confident that Antarctic climatic conditions In prehletorlo times favored a profusion of plant and animal life. Dr. Schmltt la skep tical that present day explorers in crossing Atlantlca will find "oases" amid the barren Icy wastes, suited to plant and animal life. In 'regions of volcanlo activity, there may be ome local changes In temperature, aa exist for example on Deception Island, where the harbor Is a volcano crater, and the water along the ahoree la hot at times. Even there, however, th eneach Is "dead." All life In Antarctica depends ulti mately upon the rich 'meadows of the sea' where the microscopic plants known aa dlatomes furnlah food for shrimps, which In turn nourish the penguins and the aeals. These "mead ows" represent one of the richest feeding grounds known In the world, and account for the tremendous whale fisheries In the Antarctic.

When the camp enrollment waa complete and the programs atarted there waa found a surprising num ber of men who could sing, play va rious klnda of- Instruments and In general keep Via men entertained from one to two hours every even ing; and to add to that Camp Kerby waa blessed with a wealth of mater ial for their baaebatl team that turned In such an envious ' record for this year. A game wna scheduled for every Bunday and aometlmea aa many aa two games were scheduled for the week-end. This gave the members of the camp a real outlet for their emotions and consequently the games took on the aspect of a real college contest.

In addition to this a permanent library Is the pos session of the camp and then every month two libraries bf 60 books each are received the first of every month.

He knows that this condi tion may cause headaches, loss of appetite and energy, sleeplessness. It is often the starting point of serious disease. You can prevent and relieve com mon constipation so easily. Just eat a delicious cereal once a day. Laboratory testa show that Kel logg's All-Bran provides "bulk" to exercise the intestines, and vita min B to further aid regular habitB. All-Bran is also a rich source of blood-building iron. The "bulk" In All-Bran is much like that found in leafy vegetables. Within the body, it forms a soft mass. Gently, it clears out the in testinal wastes. Isn't this "cereal way" safer and far more pleasant than taking pat ent medicines so often harmful? ; Two tablespoonfuls of All-Bran ' daily are usually sufficient. With I each meal in serious cases. If not ! relieved this way, see your doctor. Enjoy All-Bran as a cereal, or i use in cooking. Get the red-and-I green package at your grocer's. ' 1 Made by Kellogg In Battle Creek.
