It is out of distress, unemployment, upheaval and despair that wars are made. Millions of men and women out of work, countries plunged into the deepest difficulties, ruined tradesmen ‘and fmpoverished farmers are the raw materials of conâ€" flict. The profound discontent of povâ€" erty, with all its harmful potentialâ€" ities, is not onl a result but a cause of strife. ut Dutch Harbor, Unalaska, is the first harbor of importance in the islands. This deep, landlocked harbor is one of the finest in the North and has played an important part as a way ea to the Â¥Yukon and to Nome. It is station for ships during the gold rushâ€" by a radio station. Dutch Harbor is connected with the rest of the world on the shortest route from Seattle to Tokyo, and with the establishment of coaling stations may conceivably beâ€" come such a Pacific way station for the northern route hs Honolulu is for the southern. Although the Aleutians are as far north as Contral Canada their climate is not severely cold. Rather they may be said to be always "chilly," damp and foggy. Fog is anything but an asset to the flyer, but tha Aleutian fog has the good point, at least, of beâ€" ing less dense than the fog of more southern lands, post of the Soviet Union. After the survivors of Béring‘s disâ€" covery voyage to Alaska in 1745 reâ€" turned to Kamchatka, Russian advenâ€" tnrors poured into ~the islands in search of furs, exploiting, enslaving and killing the natives. Fow survived and since that day the islands have been sparsely settled, many of them uninhabited. _ It was because they were opened up from the east that the islands are known as the Aleutians. The name is derived from that of a Kamchatkan cape, the National Geoâ€" graphic Society says. K The thousands of islands of Alaska‘s southeastern "panhandle" are rugged and offor few places suitable for land planes to alight. â€" But forâ€" the plane equipped with pontoons there aro inâ€" On the departure of the schooner it was stated that the party was proâ€" ceeding first to St. Anthony‘s, Newâ€" foundland, where several members of the crew will be taken aboard.

"Brage," the society wlhich fosters and guides these efforts, celebrated the twontyâ€"fifth anâ€" niversary of its foundation in March. Its members are drawn from all parts of the country where Swedish is spoken, and from all classes of society, and at least oneâ€"fourth of those attendâ€" ing the festivities were in national costume. Traditional part songs and solos were rendered, oldâ€"time dances performed with so much vervo and expression that all could interpret their meaning, and a performance of excellout presentation of country life in bygone days.

Finland to Preserve Folklore of Country "Although the rocket jets themâ€" selves have more efficiency than either the Diesel engine or the steam turâ€" bine, this efficiency can not be utilized at lower, or present airplane speeds, because a large part of the energy passes off in the jet and comparativeâ€" ly little is given to the plane.

"It has beon estimated that above 600 miles an hour, rocket propulsion for airplanes will be more effective than any other type and it is on this theory that I have built and patented this motor," he said. A new type of airplane motor that will enable airplanes to travel in rare atmospheres and at higher speed than ever has been attained has been doâ€" veloped by Dr. Goddard and patented. Roswell, N.M., July 4.â€"New exporiâ€" meonts in rockets and airplane motors to enable the study of the stratosphore are being made here by Dr. Robert H.

J Except in parts of the oast end, where tho streets consist of rows of 'CO!MSES exactly alike, thero is usualâ€" ly an astonishing variety of pots and cow!s to be observed. This is because chimneys have discasos and chimney doctors do their prescribing with lengths of stack and bends of cowl.

Solbach, a director of the Clinic Club, described the method of procedure in diagnosis, Assuming that nutrition is of primary importâ€" ance, he said, the first step should be the taking of Xâ€"ray pictures of the mouth. . A history of the physical conâ€" dition of the patient in the past, and various analyses should be obtained, he went on, to determine sugar, albnâ€" men and phosphorus requirements and disclose such condition as anemia, infection and diabetes.

After checking them for a period of six months, during which time an average of four cavities apâ€" peared in the teeth of each patient, each patient was exainined and placed on a diet deemed best suited to indiâ€" vidual needs. Upon examination after another six months period, he said. that instead of finding the 2,700 new cavities which might have been exâ€" pected on the basis of the first six months of observation, only five wore| disclosed in the group. He added that: he had made numerous tests of treatâ€" ing hypersensitive teeth with the same method and had not experienced a failure. ’ The Washington case of selfâ€"resâ€" toration of a tooth was described as that of a man fortyâ€"sight years old, who prosented himself for an examâ€" ination February 1, 1930, and was found to have eightcen cavities, of which six were new and the others had appeared around good fillings. One, & cervical erosion cavity in the lower right first bicuspid, was left open for observation purposes and a special diet worked out by Dr. Davis was prescribed. This cavity was reâ€" ported smaller when examined Oct>â€" ber 4, and had entirely recalcified, or filled up naturally, on June 2, when the patient was last examined. | Dr. D. C. Robinson, chief surgeon of the Youngstown and Inland Steel Corporation, describea Dr. Davis‘ acâ€" complishment as "one that bids fair to range with tha, of Louis Pasteur," and Dr. M. A. Engliâ€"h, a Washington physician, said he was "so impressed from a medical standpoint" that he would insist on every new case of his taking an examination to determine whether there was 1eed for the nutriâ€" tional treatment. \ A case of the filling of a cavity in a tooth without mechanical assistance in Washington was described. At least a dozen similar cases were said to have been reported by dentists in various parts of the country, and it was held to have been demonstrated that decay of the teeth almost alâ€" ways can be preveated and in many cases arrested after it has made proâ€" gress through dietary treatment. The successful healirg of decayed teeth so.ely through treatment with special diets was reported at a dinnor given in honor of Dr. Sherman L.

Evidently, however, Itlm line between the wild and doâ€" mesticated yak is difficult to draw, judging from the experience of mounâ€" tain climbers. The Kamet Expedition recently reported a small stampede of the yaks. The Mount Everest Reconâ€" noissance of 1921 made the following comments: "The yaks supplied to us were very wild. In a few minutes afâ€" ter starting we saw the plain strown with our kits and stores, and the nh“ careering off in every direction." Again their historian reports that the wild yaks "rapidly got rid of their loads," but also that they are the most "satisfactory beast of burden; although their pace is slowâ€"about two miles an hourâ€"thoy seldom halt until daylight fails."

Ho flourishes at high altitudes, and is a strong beast, often furnishing the powor by which their. grain is threshed. His long black bair is woven‘into tent cloth or ropes; hu‘ tail serves as a "fAy whisk." The milk which is not drunk is turned into butâ€" ter and cheese.
