Prehistoric Land Connec
tions Between Antarctica
And Present Continents
One Of Great Problems.

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.

By D. N. Holynii. .
The general public la rapdlly ac
cepting the fact that the civilian
conservation corps la, and haa been
from the beginning, a huge success.
Many factors working aa units have
been able to make It so, and this
certainly haa been true of 1746 com
pany at Camp Kerby.
Much has already been said about
the various kinds of work being
dona by the CCC for the forests and
conservation, but there la another
Interesting angle to Vie CCO camps,
and that la the camp life they en
joy. 1740 company at Camp Kerby haa
been very fortunate In having plenty
of entertainment furnished in one
way or another by the varloua mem
bers of the camp and they are at the
present writing laying pinna tor a
bigger and better entertainment pro
gram for the winter montha.
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.
Then for reading material Csmp
Kerby Is allowed, through a special
fund, to subscribe for a number of
newspapers. Theae include the Ore
gon papers, California, Missouri and
New York Tlmea. 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.
The company haa a recreation tent
where the men may rend n the ev

NEGLECT OF COMMON
CONSTIPATION IS A
SERIOUS MATTER
Prevent This Condition With
Kellogg's All-Bran
The first question your doctor
asks is whether you are constipated
or not. 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. '
