Huber told of seething fume

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

barren, forbidding section Jaced
with volcanic fissures and dotted

"We aT.udied more than a
dozen active fumcroles in the
valley." Huber said. "Six or

T
eight of these had openings lead

Some pf the openings were large
enough to throw a horse down."
Fumerolcs in the valley vary
in size from tiny cracks to cra

Jets of scalding steam having
temperatures up to 1,200 degrees

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.

Royal Jelly From Queen Bees
At the recent International

royal jelly

recent years a

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

Embarrassing Perspiration
Many persons perspire to ex
cess, and sometimes when the
perspiration has a good deal of
odor they are much disturbed

who, in addition, feels too warm
or has a fast pulse, or is losing

through a mask, a girl will meas

uses every few minutes. This
amount she will compare with
the estimated amount which
would be normal for his weight

will be suffering from a toxic

to have it treated either medical

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

control the situation.

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.

"While Senator Wayne Morse,

positions with which we are in
