Deutsch, president of the board of aldermen, is chairman, Is not down on the lower East Side but up in Barlem. In It live 8,871 persons a population equal to that of many a thriving com mnnlty, The most crowded block lies between Lenox and Seventh avenues and One Hundred and ' Forty-second and f One - Hundred and Forty-third atreeta.-!lt presents a solid brick front, wltb now and then a dingy opening leading to Uttered back .yard..

Windows look out on those trashy yards or Into kitchens, wlta only the more' fortunate baring' a Tlew of the atreet Since dumb waiters are seldom In working order, the ahafts are naed aa garbage chutes. With the exception of a few small shopkeepers, the population of the moat crowded block Is colored. The average wage of a colored man Is $20 a week. The average rental In Har lem Is 185 a month. That means boarders and roomers and doubling up. Hence, the reason why the moat crowd ed block Is In Harlem. More ttvsn half the residents, however, are on relief. Having nothing to do, they loll about the fronts of the buildings or sit in little dark rooms. Mothers go out to work when they can find employment Children go to school With keys 6f their homes around their necks. After school, no one being at home to look after them, they play In streets and alleys. What that nrey mean In the future la not a pleasant thought ..'

Despite protests, Mrs. Adams went Into the cell, spoke to the growling dog and within a few minutes bad won Ita confidence to such an extent that It willingly rode wltb her In a taxlcab to the hospital.

Another romantic 'Arctic tradition the reported exist ence of a tropical valley In the Ltard river, area of the Northwest territories , has been shattered. . Returning from a 4,000-mile flight In the far north, Dr. Charles Camsell, jdeputy minister of mines In the Cana dian government, reported the valley was a myth. . Doctor Camsell made the trip, which started at Prince Bupert B, (X, and. tended v at Edmonton, to inspect the jwork, of several geologlea areas of Caraalr, B. C, the north; arm of Great .Slave lake and Beaverlodge, Atha-, basics lake, In connection with Can-' iada's far north gold hunt : Among, the Important geographical ; discoveries made during th tight Is the settlement of the quesU of what becomes of the Rocky morAt .north, ,of the Llard river. The ojatidji has Intrigued geographers for years. Doctor Camsell said the mighty Rockies, which run northward from the United States through Canada, 'drop out of sight In the country north of the Llard and that they do not blend with the Mackenzie mountains, which are a separate range springing up In the Arctic country north of the tree line. He said the Rocky mountain range gradually sinks to rounded knolls north of the river. Tbe ston of the tropical valley was originated by a trapper named Tom Smith, who said he had found a valley dotted with hot springs and palm trees. Smith was drowned while re turning to civilization with his daugh ter, Jane, with a boatload of furs. !Mlss Smith escaped and came to Hay Vlver, where she died last year, refus ing to describe the mythical valley. Doctor Camsell found Smith's cabin, .with the roof fallen In and decaying. It was situated near a number of hot springs, with lush vegetation spring ing up from the sub-irrigated soli In the midst of a grove of spruce and popuar trees. The vegetation grew seven feet high, he said, but there English Walnuts Per lb Brazil Nuts Per lb Pecans (large) Per lb Pecans (small) 2 lbs. for ttrrMm BREAK O' MORN COFFEE SOt SQCllPerlb. 1 1Q &: 2Sc 5o 2o j were no palms. sv t i-V - A :V' Doctor Camsell attributes the rank growth to the eub-lrrlgatlon of the' anil frnm Hia hnr anrtnira.

Kemnitzer, petroleum technologist, estimates. His statement followed a detail sur vey of the petroleum reserves of the United States, revising his original es-i timatemade in 1931 as co-author of "Petroleum In the United 8tates." : Kemnltzer said that by January V next California will have produced: 4,500,000,000 barrels of crude ell. In cluding natural gasoline, or 16 - per; cent of the 18,100,000,000 barrel out-! put In theo United States since 1859.; Since oil was discovered In California i In 1861, he said, about 31,000 wells J hawbean drilled, proving 158,000 acres' or" square miles to be productive,! out Of the 156,000 square miles In the State, most of which Is geologically Im possible or unfavorable to the occur rence of oil. Estimating that the present output' of 200,000,000 barrels annually will bo, sustained, the survey predicted an ultl-; mate total production of 11 ,000,000,000. ) Salmon Fishing Beats , Gold Mining for Profits j Seldova, Alaska.
