Is That So?
At the bo(tom of the world lies
a huge continent almost as large
as Europe and Australia com
bined. It is important today be
cause many nations are exploring
it during this International Geo
physical year, 195.-58.
Although less than 1 per cent
of its area has been explored by
man on foot, we do know that
7-5-5
this is a great land mass not
a series of islands as recently be
lieved and criss-crossed by
mountain ranges.
The continent of Antarctica
differs fundamentally from the
Arctic regions at the other end
of the world. Where the Arctic
is an ocean, covered with drift
ing pack ice and hemmed in by
the land masses of North Ameri
ca. Europe and Asia, the Ant
arctic is a land mass surrounded
by the Atlantic, Pacific and In
dian Oceans.
The ice cap covering the Ant
arctic is more than 11,000 feet
thick at the center and the cold
air cascades off this ice sheet
with such force that it makes the
nearby seas the stormiest on
earth. .
While in the Arctic more than
1,000,000 persons live within
2,000 miles of the North Pole,
in an area rich in forest and
mining industries, within that
same distance of the South Pole
there is not a single tree, not a
single settlement apart from
weather observers and members
of the Geophysical parties. And
probably whalers.
Certainly no other place in
the world is as cold and during
this summer we have, already
heard of a temperature of 110
degrees below zero.
Previously, lows of 80 below
zero have been registered.
On Day A Year
At the exact South Pole, of
course, there is but one direc
tion and that north; but one
time zone, because all converge.
There is but one "day" a year
six months of it being day
light, six months being darkness.
Like the ice sheets of our
Northland which retreated and
left such relics as the Great
Lakes, points out Walter Sulli
van in Quest for a Continent
(McGraw-Hill, N.Y.), the Ant
arctic ice has shrunk, too. It is
at least 1,000 feet thinner than
it was. Nonetheless, in the hint
erland only the loftiest peaks
pierce the blue and while crust
which still blankets almost the
entire continent.
Among these peaks are a few
live volcanoes how many, no
one knows. One erupting vol
cano heats one small section so
that it is snow-free in a region
of eternal snows.
As other continents shed wa
ter, Antarctica which has no
rivers sheds ice. Snow falls on
the ice sheet, adding constantly
to its bulk, and then the ice
flows to the sea, sometimes flow
ing distances of more than 1,000
miles.
Known As 'Calving
Some of these riven of com
paratively fast-flowing ice, or
glaciers, cut through the plains
of more immobile ice. In the
steep valleys, the ice "rapids"

The great ice sheet does not
pour into the sea at certain
places only, as do streams of
water, but it pushes out in vir
tually all directions and Ice
bergs break off from the ice
front along almost the entire
coastline. This process is known
as "calving."
Where the ice sheet has push
ed out over the sea and remains
attached, it is known as an ice
shelf. One such is the Ross Ice
Shelf, roughly the size of France
and considerably larger than
California. Such "wafers" are
often more than 700 feet thick.

The Midwestern weather vio
lence was blamed on the south

Alice Marble
Still Swats
Mean Ball
By WILLIAM F. TYREE
Encino, Calif. (IB The
slender, blondish lady with the
serious eyes leaned into a fast,
low-bounding tennis ball and
sent it zipping like a flat streak
of light over the net.
"I never did hit it so well,"
beamed 43-year-old Alice
Marble, once queen of the
world's tennis courts, "The ham
in people I guess."
The only woman who played
like a man to master interna
tional competition on the road
to Wimbledon still seemed as
always to have a supreme ob
jective that the ball never
bounced twice on her side.
She looks as if she'd be ready
to match strokes with any of
the current players in the world.
"They sent me the tickets to
Wimbledon again this year,"
she sighed, "but I couldn't go
too busy with other things. And
even if I did, I'd only want to
sit in the stands as a spectator.
Has Proven Herself
"I already proved what I
started out to do that I could
be better at one thing than any
one else in the world. It
wouldn't be any use again, even
I could."
The lanky Miss Marble had
just slipped into her tennis
shorts for a quick workout near
the doctor's office where she
now works as a nurses' assistant
after deciding that making 13,
441 lectures in the past 15 year3
was too strenuous.
"I enjoyed every minute of
the lecturing on good , living,
health and sportsmanship," she
said. "I talked to as many as
10,000 persons and to as few as
eight once in a Midwestern
snowstorm. But I never had a
home, and now I've got one a
little one here in the San Fer
nando Valley with a little pool."
The former tennis celebrity
slammed another ball through an
opponent who yelled back,
"Hey, calm down, Alice."
Her play reflected a rugged
health she has rebuilt from al
most total collapse at one time
in a. memory-filled career that
arrived at complete triumph at
Forest Hills, N.Y., in 1936 when
she took the U.S.' women's
singles title.
Collapses On Courts
A year earlier she had col
lapsed on the courts in Paris
during an international match
with France's Mile. Sylvia Hen
rotin one of the most dramatic
occurrences of a sports decade.
As she was carried off, doctors
said she was through and had to
give up the game.
Ill health, aggravated by
false diagnosis, temptation to
utter despair and then recovery
by faith and tenacity paved the
comeback road and repeat per
formances for world champion
ships during 1938-40.
Experts agreed that only a su
perb technician one whose
coordination resembled that of
the star male player . could
have reached the heights in an
era filled with the likes of Helen
Wills Moody, Suzanne Lenglen
and Helen Jacobs.
"Some are good enough to in
clude me among these greats,"
she said humbly as she slam
med another ball along the base
line with evident relish for her
handiwork at the age of 43.
