Avalanche Terror

TRAVEL AT 200 MILES AN HOUR

LITTLE WARNING

BY M. D. M'LEOD · ·

THE number of avalanches which have occurred recently in the Alps, involving loss of life, is un- doubtedly due to cilmatic condi tions, for they are almost Invari ably started by changes in the weather. The Austrian and other meteorological bureau issue warn ings when conditiona favour, the movement of ice and Snow; [X- perienced guides and skiers usually refuse to venture Into avalanche areas after such warnings, and the number of fatalities which have oc- curred in recent years must be put down to the vast Increase in the popularity of winter sports and the consequent numbers of inexperi- enced or semi-inexperienced on- thusiasts who unwittingly run into danger.

No one who has never witnessed the fall of an avalanche can truly picture the magnificence of the sight, or the terror it can inspire when vlowed from too close quar- lers.

Slowly the mass of snow alid ice begins to move, and if con- ditions are right for it. It may achieve a terrifle spoed. One of the major avalanches of 1800, was esti maled to have reached a speed of over 200 miles an hour.

During the descent the snow becomes ineaded Into balls, which may be three feet in diameter, and It is accompanied by a spray com- posed of flying, shrapnel-like pleces of ice. The noise is like the rush of an express train magnified twenty-fold, and a blast of air naually advances before the front wall of the avalanche. The blast can do almost as much damage as the snow and ice, and on one occa- sion, in the Gletsch Valley, it hurl- ed an iron bridge weighing several tons 160 feet into the air, although the tip of the avalanche stopped Bome distance away.

IN DEADLY DANCER

Many serious disasters have been caused by avalanches. The year 1922 was a particularly bad one, a series of falia killing several people and demolishing an hotel at Davos. In 1926 Mr. Edgar Wills, of tobacco fame, was killed in the Tyrol by being buried.

AUSTRIA ENJOYS TOBACCO

GOLD MINE FOR THE STATE

ONE THRIVING

INDUSTRY

Vienna, Feb, 18. Austrians will rather have their socks darned half a dozen times than give up their beloved elgarette.

This is shown by official statis- ties revealing that although prac- leally all other retall trades sus- tained heavy losses during the last five years, the tobacco industry, which is a state monopoly In Aus- tria, was able to increase its pro- ta by fifty-four million achillings.

Retail sale in general declined not less than 40 per cent, from January 1929 to January 1934. During the same period gross re-
