To Test Menace
of New Ice Age
MacMillan Expedition Will Study
Recent Movements ot Gla-
ciers in Greenland.

I'ldatocena age—Hio geologic period
wliloli Immediately preceded our own

wilt it menu to the inhabitant* of the
earth?
In an effort to determine whether
there la uny likelihood of such a cata-
clysmic occurrence the MacMillan ex
pedlilon recently left fur Greenland
to study the recent movements of gla-
ciers on that Islund continent. The
kfrcut Ice age ended, according to
nclentlata, about 26,01)0 years ago. but
the Ice bus left Its footprints, by
which its advances and retreats and
movements may be traced.
During the Ice age, or the Glacial
Period, there was a marked lowering
of temjHMature over the whole earth,
n nd fl.OOU.UOO or 7.000,000 square
miles of the globe's surface became
entirely covered with Ice. Half the
region thus covered lay In North
America; more than half the remain
der lay In Europe. Hut far away
even to the troplcu) forests of India
and the mountains of Asia, glaciation
occurred where there had been no Ice
previous to the Ice age. On moun-
tains which now bear burdens of con
tinual snow and Ice the snow line de-
scended 5,000 feet lower than It Is at
present
Human Beings Succumbed.
Imagine great sheets of Ice nnd
hard-packed snow creeping ever so
slowly hut surely over the temperate
areas of Europe nnd America, nnd
Imparting to them an Arctic cold to
which many of those early human be-
ings, who In their savagery were little
better than beasts, succumbed. These
mighty layers of Ice, miles and miles
In thickness, spread over rivers and

Four times they retreated after un
counted centuries, each time leaving
a terminal moraine of boulders, earth
and other r'ehrls which serves us an
Indication of the route of the ice on
Its advance southward. The second of

In the tests at Aberdeen s Wnr de-

"This gun wns tired with grest ,ne-

watching II heonuse of Its possibilities
for rapid, accurate end sustained tir-
ing from the shoulder, (hough being nt

At another point the memorandum
Knhl the performance of the Garand
under severe tests ns to endurance
promised "to fulfill the many require-
ments that will he Imposed upon It.”
Still to Be Developed.
“Results thus far." concludes the
memorandum. "Justify the belief rhnt
such a weapon (n semiautomatic
shoulder rltle) can he suitably dn.
oped and manufactured to replace the
well-known mngnzine-fed hand-oper-
ated shoulder rifle."
Semiautomatic guns have been used
for sporting purposes for years hut
no mechanism suitable for military
purposes has been produced. The
Gnrnnd is still In Its development
stages; hut there Is no doubt that
military experts expect it ultimately
to replace the Springfield.
What changes In tactics will result
have ik«»t yet been worked out.

liver nearly three times Its present

“You remember the Jolly Dust Broth-
ers?” asked Daddy.
"Oh yes,” said Nick, and Nancy
added:
"Indeed I do. Daddy. They were the
ones who were made so happy by peo-
ple complaining over the dust coining
back as soon almost as it wus dusted
off."
“The very same,” said Daddy.
"Well," he continued, "the other day
they were up to ull their pranks. 'BUey
had been having a very good time. In
the winter time the heat made them
collect members of the family together
and have little parties which caused
people to have to dust even In the win-

"But now that It was summer they
were having the best of good times.
They had taken up their summer resi-

"‘It’s dreadful,’ said the people. ‘Of

dust seems to be Just ns bad.
" ‘Where In the world does all the
dust come from? No sooner do we
get It all dusted nice nnd clean than
everything Is dusty again.

dust Just keeps coining nnd coming,

tlon to the upstairs’ rooms for they
thought it wns such fun to puzzle the
people. The people expected to find
dust downstairs and so the Jolly Dust
Brothers gave them what they ex-
pected but they also gave them the
puzzle to work out of where the dust
came from upstairs, which they were
not able to do at all.
"The Brothers played, too, with the
wind. One day Mr. Wind got hold of
an old newspuper which hud been left
on the roof and he sturted blowing it
about and then he began to blow it off
the roof so it would fall down to tlie-
ground.
"Now the Jolly Dust Brothers
j thought this was very Interesting to
see what Mr. Wind could do and they
! got together und all agreed they would
give Mr. Wind a treat.
I " 'Mr. .Wind,' they said, 'you have
always been a good friend of ours, and
i we want to Invite you to our head-
, quarters.’
j ‘“Headquarters?’ asked Mr. Wind.
“ ‘Yes,’ said the Jolly Dust Brothers,
•for you know we have to have a main
place for headquarters as we make our
homes In so many different places, for
different lengths of time ut a time.
‘‘•Sometimes we stay in one place a
long time nnd again not so long. And
often we go straight from one place
to another. But we have to have head-
quarters where we can meet each
other nnd hear of the good work that
is being done and of the rude speeches
made about us which make us laugh.
Oh yes, they make us laugh.'
"‘Why,’ suid Mr. Wind, ‘I’d be de-
lighted to go to your headquarters.'
"So the Jolly Dust Brothers led the-
way and finally Mr. Wind found him*
! self In the most enormous old building
! he had ever seen, surrounded by miles
and miles of country which seemed to
he the grounds of the building.
'“Of course,’ said the Jolly Dust
Brothers, ‘we have many branches of
headquarters all over the earth, but
this is the head place of all. Look
about you!’
"And Mr. Wind did. Everywhere
there were packages of dust, and trunk-
loads of dust nnd boxes and barrels
and packages of dust. And so there
were all over the ground too.
"Mr. Wind also noticed that there
were ull sorts of signs about. One
read, over a large section where there
were many packages:
"'Dust collected from deserted houses/
“But the biggest section of all—oh.
It was more than an enormous room
and it reached way, way out Into tho
