Not “up-sliding snow”—but, still, {uphill skiing has arrived! It landed on the dock this morn- ing in the form of a “Ski Tow,” to be installed on the Second Meadow by its promoters, Fred Axford and Cayl Danielson. Manufactured by the New Sweden Ice Machine Co., the. mountain sliders’ wind saver is completely portable, mounted on its own to- .bog_gan. it weighs but siightly more than 350 pounds and is about the size of a large man. top of the machine is 1000 feet of manila line, which forms an endless 1gop 500 feet in length, to which skiers catch a grab for a 500-foot uphill ride in one-minute’s time. The four-and-one-half horsepower gasoline engine is capable of main- La_lmn;,' that speed of nearly six miles per hour with as many as five persons hanging to the line, and is governed to hold at the same speed with fewer riders aboard. ; The promoters plan to transport the tow to its destination next Sat- urday afternoon and have it ready for operation by Sunday. A gharge of 10 cents per ride or fifteen rides for $1 is to be made. At the end of. the current season .the machine will be dismantled and returned to cover o await next year's snows. - Hallelujah and Ski Heil!

Eat Candy DEL MONTE, Cal., April 1.—The | use of candy and interrupted sleep | to treat a disease which is the op-| posite of diabetes was discussed be- fore the Pacific Coast Surgical As- sociation here by Drs. Howard F. West and Maurice Kahn of Los An- geles. The unusual treatment was used againdt adenoma of the pancreas, a nonmalignant tumor which causes a decrease in the amount of sugar |in the hlood. v The two surgeons said the nib- bling of candy prevented patients from becoming lethargic. The pa- tient’s sleep was interrupted every few hours to prevent him from lapsing into complete unconscious- ness. Drs, West and Kahn said, how- ever, this treatment did not effect a cure. Permanent relief, they said, icoul dbe obtained by surgical re- moval of the tumor.
