o OO o o o Volcanic Menace Said to Exit? in Alaska Valley Anchorage 'i!.P. There is f HJ.ill a volcanic menace .in "Aiaska's aweeome, trembling! Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes 'Jmore thaa 44 years atet the area was shattered by one of SeO world's greatest volcanic Jfupiions. Louis Huber. independent film proda-r, reported that he and . W. Sailer of King Salmon. Alaska, flew into the strange valley located about 100 miles west "of Kodiak, and found it till see'-hing with subterranean actityr Huber, of Seattle. to!d of land ing rn a cleared area just big enough to accommodate Seller's liSMplr.nt'., . The two men walked from thu plane anJ inspected the area for several mile around. Huber told of seething fume rolei pock-mocking the desolate jnoon-likfi, terrain where Mt. Katmai expanded in a gigantic volcanic upheaval in June, 1912 A crater three miles in diameter was created end about five miles of ash and debris littered over an area of several hundred square miles. The valley near Katrniii was turred into the na tion's northernmost desert a barren, forbidding section Jaced with volcanic fissures and dotted with sulphury fumes front hun dreds! of tiny craters or fume roles. Volcanic Laboratory "We aT.udied more than a dozen active fumcroles in the valley." Huber said. "Six or DAY is coming T eight of these had openings lead ing down to subterranean depths. Some pf the openings were large enough to throw a horse down." Fumerolcs in the valley vary in size from tiny cracks to cra ters 150 feet wide. They issue Jets of scalding steam having temperatures up to 1,200 degrees F. hot enough to melt zinc or set ablaze a stick held in the jet of steam. Huber said the valley is a "terrible place to be caught in a. windstorm. "The wind picks up the fine particles of volcanic dust and pumice, -so sharp that when blown against the skin they can cut you -up pretty badly-;-espe-cially if the wind has a high velocity." The entire valley is without vegetation of any kind, and ap pears, according to Huber, like the pictures many artists have drawn giving their conception of the surface of the moon. Stupendous Laboratory The valley was- set aside as the Katmaf National Monument in September, 1917, by Presi dent Woodrow Wilson because the entire area was and is con sidered a stupendous volcanic laboratory and scenic wonder land. - So difficult is the terrain "in many areas of the valley that there are still sections that have not been fully explored.

In recent years a goo d many persons have hoped that this royal jelly might prove to be a I wonderful medicine for man a tonic or perhaps a rejuvenator. Dr. Chauvin injected jelly into rabbits and found that it pro duced changes in their white blood cells, and in the chemistry of their adrenal glands. When injected into mice and rats, there was very little effect on the growth of the animal, and there was no constant effect on the sex glands. There were, how ever, decided changes in the chemistry of the adrenal glands. In the case of human beings, intramuscular injections of the substance caused a diminution in the white blood. count, and some changes in the chemistry of the adrenal glands. These injections seemed to produce a euphoria or a feeling of good health, and a renewal of strength and ap petite. Embarrassing Perspiration Many persons perspire to ex cess, and sometimes when the perspiration has a good deal of odor they are much disturbed Anyone who is perspiring exces sively, and especially anyone who, in addition, feels too warm or has a fast pulse, or is losing weiqht, or has a little goiter. oufht to go quickly and get an estimate made of his basal me tabolic rate. While he breathes through a mask, a girl will meas ure the amount of oxygen he uses every few minutes. This amount she will compare with the estimated amount which would be normal for his weight and age and sex. il his record is much too high, he probably will be suffering from a toxic goiter, and then he will do well to have it treated either medical ly or surgically. A while back' I saw a woman who perspired so much that, at night, she had to sleep on two bath towels. She proved to have a very rare tumor of the adrenal gland, called a pheochromocy toma. When this was removed she was well. In ordinary cases, the usual drug that people spray every day into the arm-pits is sufficient to control the situation. Naturally, every person who 1 Singapore lepers Permitted To Ved Singapore U.R) Lepers in Singapore may marry but are not permitted to bring up their children. Marriages among lepers are increasing, said Miss D. E. Browne, almoner of the Singa pore Trafalgar Home for Lepers. The average has been about 10 couples a year, but this year j eight are already wed and anoth er seven have given notice they mtend to marry. The-reason, Miss Browne said, is that beginning this year full time working patients at the home receive a standard living wage. Couples intending to marry must first see Miss Browne. She explains to them the difficulties they will encounter. Children born to them cannot live with their parents until the parents are completely cured. Because of their background it is also diffi cult to find foster parents for lepers' children. Leper mothers are taken to the isolation ward of the govern ment maternity hospital. After delivery they are returned to the home. The children are sent either to a private home, the So cial Welfare Department or the Salvation Army Home. "Woman patients give birth to normal, healthy children and the risk of infection is very small," Miss Browne explained "It is only through prolonged in timate contact that persons can be infected." Six babies were born last year in the institution and sent to various homes. Married patients live in two room furnished houses inside the grounds of the home. If they wish, they may do their own cooking. Women, if ' they are well enough, work as cooks, amahs, school teachers, nurses in the Home. Men are employed as grass-cutters, clerks, electricians, carpenters, teachers, telephone operators, barbers and laborers.
