WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. (AP) The
quaint llsherfollt of Tangier Island,
cut oil from the rest of the world In
the Ice-locked lower reaches of Ches
apeake bay, had a supply of food to
day to help them face one of the
worst winters they can remember.
Dirigible and plane yesterday drop
ped 1.BOO pounds of food for the 1.600
natives and staved off threatened dis
tress. The general health of the rugged
lslandera, said to be descended from
14 families of Cornish fishermen, was
reported good.
A Goodyear company dirigible, u"
oted by Karl Lange, landed on the Ice
near shore yesterday and unloaded
1,000 pounds of provisions. An air
plane from Easton, Md., piloted by
Fotrest Wenyon, brought 800 pounds
more.
A message brought back from
Mayor J. W. Crockett 01 tne laiauu

"Health la good on the Island. The
food la short, and If help naa not
thr would have been suffer
ing In a few days. We do not have
any butter or meat or nour or augur.
There la no panic on the Island. We
have a doctor and medical supplies."
Lange reported that the people, out
of touch with the mainland for a
4tnt0M wprii obvlouslv relieved
when food arrived. He planned to
make another flight If conditions in
the bay do not permit the resumption
of the usual water traffic.

BLUE SNOW IS FOUND
MYTH AT
AS COLOR IS CHECKED
To H. C. Obye. sMlatant supervisor
of the Rogue river national forest,
blue snow today 'was Jiutt what It al
ways has been to him: a beautiful
mylth.
When questions asking why the
snow turned blue with every depres
sion at Union Creek kept pouring In
to his office, Karl L. Janouch, forest
supervisor, decided Saturday to in
vestigate. He had planned to go to
Union Creek himself yesterday but
was detained here and Mr. Obye went
In his stead.
"The enow seems blue wherever
there la an indentation, all right."
said Mr. Obye today, "but that la
nothing new. It happens In a, great
many localities. It to probably due to
a reflection from surroundings."
Mr. Janouch agreed with Charles
plon, meteorologist at the local
weather bureau, who said It was a
question of light and shadow.
Many persons visited at Union
Creek during the day but not many
tarried for skiing as the snow was
frozen too hard for good sport, Mr.
Obye said. Children, however, had a
good time coasting.
Union Creek's blue anow aroused
considerable curiosity and many vis
itors tt Crater lake national park
yesterday were observed making de
pressions In the anow to see whether
thoy could produce a blue color. Re
port said they not very sucewful
unless the depression was deep enough
to provide shadowy walls.
