Antarctic's Fields of Ice Have Been in Cold Storage for Quarter of Million Years
(News Service)
Berlin, March 16—Anti-Art, whose desolate lake fields will soon re-echo the rue of Commander Beyd's motor, has enough land to cover the whole earth to a depth of 120 or 130 feet, and has been gathering its vast store of scalded cold for a quarter of a million years or more.
This is the opinion of Prof. Wi Merkuras of the University of Goettingen, who has been engaged lately in an endeavor to estimate the bulk of that cover, that covers the south polar continent. It is only a small part of the elevations of from 0,000 to 10,000 feet reported for the surface of the antarctic plate can be made up of solid land, which would have been covered of accumulated ice, plowed on a foundation of rock not more than about 2,000 feet in mean elevation. Prof. Merkuras derives this estimated land area from the age of the mean elevations of the
nearest continents, South America Africa and Australia. Everything above that is ice.
Multiplying the estimated average thickness of this massive sheet by the thickness of the rock that obtains a total of twenty-six quadrant dillion (25,000,000,000,000) cubic yards of ice, weighing about 38,000 pounds of crumbly ice there, he says, to cover all Europe to a depth of over 6,500 feet. He also notes that under a layer between 120 and 130 feet thick, Melted down, it would approximate 100 feet.
From the slowness of glacial movements in the antarctic region, Prof. Meirinhard has come to the conclusion that at least 200,000 years ago, there been since Pleistocene geological times. This is variably estimated at from 250,000 to 300,000 years ago, so that the ice of the Antarctic had been at least a quarter of a million years.
Captaincy of Women's Varsity Given Second Time to Helen Filkin
Center and Forward Position Held by Star Players on Junior Team
Miss Martin has been on the var- sity for three years, and Miss Guskid has been a member for two years. She is not eligible for the hon- orary variety.
Helen Fiklin, c'29, was elected captain of the women's honorary varsity basketball team this year. This is the second year that Miao Fiklin has been selected to play on the institution of center and forward on the ever-victorious junior team. Other members of the honorary variety are Ruth Martin, c'28, and Charlotte Herre, ed'20, forwards. Hina Chihua, c'28, forward, c'29, and Freda Keller, ph'20.
Five members of the varsity were members of the junior team that has not been beaten since their organization, and have been captured this team for three years and is canvass-elect for next year. Miss Harper was high-point scorer in the interclass tournament and will be a star for her team for two years. Miss Gaskill and Mia Church have both been on the junior team for all three years, and Miss Keller has just finished her record of 28 points. Her record of this team is most unusual. If it has ever been equalled in the history of women's basketball at the University of Texas, many same-sex records are not on the present files.

Even Irishmen's Views Differ About Shamrock
Washington, March 15. *The little green trefoil that shines on the laopel of every pound son of old Ireland trapped in the branches of botanical trees.* Everybody knows and loves the chamunk, but nobody knows how it gets into the shamrock. Is there a trichum out into the Irish fields for shamrockes and they might be different plants.
But a second clever disguises the honor. This is the so-called black clover or mouse clover. Its leaves are smaller and narrower than those of the white clover, and its flowers mark it as a relation of the sweet clovers and all other cloves.
The plant most commonly regarded as the shamrock today is the ordinary white clover, which by an internal disease often called the Dutch clover. In most parts of Ireland this white clover grows even more invasiveness than it does in this country, because it mimics maiden, daff (Straw-steel) or mate.
The third elitism for recognition, as the true shamrock is not a nother all, though it has been the tool of sorrow or oxalis. Like its two rivals, the oxalis grows in many other parts of the island and finds the climate of that favored island very much to its liking. Perhaps because of its sharp chrome use in folk-influence, some of the ancient horticulturized almost miraculous gaseous powers
Boxing Matches Form Latest Paris Interludes
Paris, March 15—The boxing dinner, with three round bouts between each course, has been introduced in Paris to supplant the teacup and dinner dance, dance, dance.

Those making the best time will be guests at Haskell Institute and will go into training for a semi-final try on April 14, over the actual route of the race. The three Indians making the best show in this run will be Warren Amarra, Peron Jimara, and against Mexican cann entrants.
Burt Jamison, Sherman Institute track coach and formerly of Hasbelt sends word that a member of the Hosta tribe is favored to win the preliminary race while in Chicago. Those Indian runners are the center of interest.
These are left over copies of the edition printed last October. They are not revised or corrected.
The course for the run will be the regulation marathon distance of 250 yards, 385 yards and will extend from East Toptak to Memorial stadium, where the finish will be made before assembled for the relay proper.

Secthectric in March 15—A vacuum tube with a power of 15,000 watts, sending out radio waves of only six meters long, that can light an incandescent lamp. It produces a warmth in seedy spectra reminiscent of prohibited stimulants, and cools sauna in a glass chamber. Radio wonders. It has just been demonstrated at the General Electric company's research laboratory here.
The new tube, known as the ZT6, is five inches in diameter, and two feet long, set in a wooden cage and surrounded by a network of wires, contained in a box of metal powder of 15 kilowatts, it is at least fifty times as powerful as any short-wave tube previously constructed. The tube is attached to a copper bar about three meters, or ten feet, long, which acts as the tuned air circuit, radiating from the tube.
This may indicate one of the future applications of the tube, says Dr. W.
When an ordinary electric lamp is touched to the copper bar, it lights up as soon as it comes into contact lying on the floor, is picked up and, though cold, it blits the hand. When a person approaches the spine of an unconscious patient in the pain in the limbs and joints. Artificial fever, as much as 100 degrees Fahrenheit, is induced after standing next to someone.

R. Whitney, director of the laboratory, "If we had a perfectly harmless method for warming the blood it might have value," he stated, "because fevers are sometimes artificially produced in order to start convulsions, and it may well be, as asserted, that raised blood temperature, or fever, is one of nature's factors in the recovery from infections diseases."

Another feat of the apparatus, which also involved the heating of animal tissue without fire, was the cooking of a sauce in a glass tube, suspended from a wire some distance from the transmitting aerial. An apple was placed on the end of this receiving aerial and in a few minutes it was thoroughly baked to the core. One of the most spectacular "air sculptures" performed at the famine but seldom observed "ball of fire" reputed to accompany tropical thunderstorms. When the end of the radiating aerial was removed, the greenish white area are as close to a height of a food or more. This are remained, even after the pole was removed, like a plume of fire, sputtering and sending the gas throughout the situations until it was blown out. As many at three of those standing arcs, each without any visible return circuits, were established along the bar.

Historians End Search for Original Little Eva
New York, March 15—Made
against her will, Marcia Cordelew
Hardy MacDonald, the first person to
play the part of Little Eva in an Uncle Tore's Cabin show, has been discovered in Boston. Stage historians have been searching for members of her family, said She. She is the only living member.
When a writer for the Farm and Firecracker magazine found her hiding in an obscure boarding house she reluctantly admitted that she was once a member of the Civil War's popularity just before the Civil War greater than that of any other child actor before or since. She reaffirmed her vow, however, never to talk about her life until she presented nearly a half million times since her initial performance on September 27, 1852 in Troy, N. Y., Macdonald gave no reason for her stance which has constituted a mystery of her life, but glorious childhood star days.
Mrs. Macdonald, then Cordell Howard, four years old, with her first performance started a record-breaking run of 25 days in the small town of Troy. Such a record had been followed by three triumphs continued for eight years.
