Stephen R. Capps, well known | geologist and engineer on the staff of that bureau, who has spent many years in investigations in the Territory is its author. It deals with evidences of glacial periods in Alaska from as early as mid- Paleozoic time through Pleistocene glaciation to the | present. Proof convincing to the geologist has been found of recurrent ice-ages here, and Mr. Capps concludes that we are now living in what is possibly only an interglacial stage. We read that “the time that has elapsed since the Wisconsin ice invasion is probably shorter than | half the average duration of the Pleistocene inter- glacial stages. Whether or not the maximum stage of deglaciation has been reached is not known, but it is entirely possible that sometime within the next | 50,000 or 100,000 years or so the northern part of | the continent may again be subjected to submergence beneath a continental ice sheet.” Mr. Capps is thus more liberal in his estimate of our lease on habitable conditions than another geologist who recently wasted a column in New York newspapers announcing the 1 \pproach of another ice-age, say in not more than 10,000 years. | Whether Mr. Capps's conclusions more reason- | re able than the other is something that will affect none of us at all. Whether it be 10,000 or 100,000 years is something more to worry about, but for some other generation which in its time may have succeeded in harnessing the energy of the sun in such manner that even glaciation may be controlled. MANY KINDS OF FISH KNOWN AS SARDINES. Sardines are growing in popularity in the diet of Americans. The Maine pack runs to about 2,000, 000 cases a year, while that of California approxi- mates 4,000,000 cases annually, says Dr. A. C. Hunter, of the Federal Food and Drug Administration. So popular, indeed, are these little fish that the Am- | erican sardine-packing industry has grown enormous- ly during the past decade or s In addition, we import large quantities of sardi “Commercially speaking,” says Doctor Hunter, “any small canned fish of the herring family is a sardine. The herring family includes not only the true sardine, or pilchard, but also the sea herring or sild, and the sprat or brisling. The word ‘pil- chard’ applies to a sardine packed in British Co- lumbia. In California this same pilchard is labeled ‘sardine,’ while in Maine a young herring takes the name ‘Maine sardine’ It is a pilchard also that is called ‘sardine’ in France, Italy, Spain, and Port- ugal, while in the North Sea countries we find sprats canned and labeled as brisling, sprats, or sardines. “Various kinds of sardine packs go by different names. ‘Salacchini’ is a dried, salted, and pressed sardine which comes in small wooden tubs. ‘Sar- dines in salt’ from Italy are generally imported in round cans of various sizes and are put up by the dry salting method. ‘Anchovies in salt’ are prepared from anchovies in identically the same manner as sardines. ‘Fillets,’ frequently used to garnish salads, are the sides of the anchovies which, after curing, have been skinned and freed from the backbone and most of the small rib bones.” Label statements on sardine packages may read “packed in tomato sauce, packed in musatrd sauce,” or “packed in white wine.” Small flat cans contain- ing approximately 4 ounces are commonly used in packing very small fish. These are frequently pack- ed in olive oil. The Maine sardine of commerce, really a herring, is usually packed in cottonseed oil or mustard sauce. Labels also tell the buyer the true quantity of contents in the can. EROSION, THE GREAT DESTROYER. Erosion has modified the surface of the earth more than the combined activities of volcanoism, earthquakes, tidal waves, tornadoes and all the exca- vations mankind has made since the beginning of history. It is the real destroyer, the United States Department of Agriculture points out. The fact that it proceeds slowly, usually taking a thin layer off the surface of the earth at a time, does not in the least alter the impoverishing effects of ero- sion. Its natural effect has been greatly speeded up by man, and it is never idle. MAKING FOOTBALL SAFER. The rules committee which drafts playing regula- tions for American intercollegiate football has adopt- ed six modifications to the present code designed ~ to make the game better and safer for the partici- plnh. It is to be hoped the changes will achieve the end sought. Of course, accidents are apt to and do occur in all kinds of active sports just as in the ~ best regulated industrial pursuits.

Since 3ov. Murray is said to thrive on disappointment, when Alaska casts its vote for Gov. Roosevelt he probably will not be seriously concerned.

Only as a last resort must there be any tampering with the agencies of primary education. Nor would any citi- | zen of the United States wish to see the Govern-| |ment niggardly in its just rewards to those who have served it with gallantry, or parsimonious in its care of veterans to their affliction. Cheap trans- portation, too, is a praiseworthy goal of municipal| effort. But that is no reason to speak of it with bated breath. Schools, subways and relief for vet- erans are not society’s only requirements. Compet- ent diplomats are as badly needed in the present emergency as old soldiers’ homes.

(Boston News Bureau.) Depression being world-wide as we have often | been told, it is wholly in order that certain symp-| toms of its course should show a marked similarity in different countries. That is strikingly borne out by some current news reports from Germany and| England as well as the United States. They show | that a hoarder is much the same in every land. In Germany there is launched a sweeping scheme | of merging and housecleaning of banks ordained by | | the Government, which for a while will hold control | in the largest and the third largest. This and the writing off of losses and of shares is to liquidiate ,’ The con-|® the bank crisis and to pay off its bills. fident hope is that it will instill new confidence and will stabilize the flow of credit. This will be par- ticularly welcome to foreign creditors, whose present stake is more or less involuntary. And particularly it is counted upon in Berlin to put an end to popular hoarding. The thing is of course somewhat reciprocal. For it was the weakness among some German bankf.' last summer which precipitated one or another| kind of hoarding the world around. And that weak- ness was itself largely due to a prior flight of foreign credits. Now in due time the task has been taken up of fortifying the German banking struc- ture permanently. Also here the outstanding reconstruction job has been a similar reinforcement both of the banking machinery and of popular confidence, the two being decidediy interrelated. The imminent “baby bond” campaign will come as a sort of emotional climax to the several prior steps reaching their full scope with the Glass-Steagall bill. The American hoarder should reap composure as well as the German. An interesting lesser instance is the anti-hoard- ing incentive supplied to British possessors of gold sovereigns and half-sovereigns to sell them to bullion brokers and get the premium offered by other hoarders on the other side of the Channel. The owners are curiously reported quite willing now to spend their proceeds when converted into paper at a profit, where they had been loath to let go their gold. And some benefit to both trade and sterling is also reported. Just as the Colonel's lady and Judy O'Grady were “sisters under their skins,” so much the same emotions have been governing hoarders of diverse currencies in different lands.
