WHAT AMERICANS EAT.
The United States as a nation stands fifth among meat
eaters. The New Zealander and the Argentinian each con
sume twice as much as the American. Last year, according
to statistics, every American consumed 152 ^pounds of
meat—if he had his share. Cattle and hogs supplied 135'
pounds. Of the 17 pounds of other meats consumed, 10'2
pounds were veal and 6'2 pounds were lamb.
L.E.Kunkle, specialist in meats for Ohio State univers
ity, says the tendency in America is to increase the per cap
ita consumption of meats year by year.
But as far as Alaskans are concerned, there is a more
direct interest in how much fish Americans consume.
As near as can be determined, the per capita consump
tion of fish and shellfish in the United States was between
20 and 23 pounds last year. Of this amount, 5 pounds were
from Alaska and 4.5 pounds were salmon—most of which
came from Alaskan waters. The much-talked-of tuna fish
accounted for only six-tenths of a pound, crab for seven
tenths.
An article in the current issue of Fortune magazine treats,
of the Pacific salmon fisheries and points to the great import
ance of Alaska in the field. The article sees a good imme
diate future for the whole Alaskan industry through meat
shortage and consequent higher prices as a result of the new
deal and the drouth.
At the same time, the department of Commerce has
created a special fisheries advisory committee which may do
something to help stimulate demand for fisheries products.
The conclusion is plain that as Americans eat more fish,
they benefit Alaska.
THAT MINER FROM VALDEZ
In the annals of the North have been written countless
stories of hardships and heroism but few are more depective
of the true meaning of man’s humanity to man than the saga
of “Slick” Tipton, that miner from Valdez who fought the
gallant fight to win, only to lose in the end.
“Slick” Tipton lies today in Cordova General Hospital
with all the frozen toes of one foot amputated and grave
fear felt that he may lose his entire leg. The life he tried
to save was snuffed out, but the story of the Valdez miner
will live on as a perpetual monument to the men who wres
tle with the wild, sometimes to win, but often to lose.
Tipton, with three others, started out from the Ramsay
Rutherford mine over the Valdez Glacier to Valdez, 12 miles
away. The going was hard and a storm arose to tax their
strength to the utmost. It was finally too much for one
member of the party, George Martin of Seattle, who collaps
ed.
It was bitter cold and the storm was reaching its
height when Tipton told the other two to go on into Valdez

for help and he would stay to keep Martin from freezing to
death. Two days and two nights he watched over him. In
an effort to keep the man from freezing, Tipton wrapped
much of his own clothing around him and lay with the help
less man in his arms that the body heat might stay the cold.
'But no help arrived and “Slick" Tipton knew something
must be done, and done at once. Bundling Martin up as
best he could, he struck out himself for Valdez. Across
the glacier field and in the face of the bitter cold he fought
his way. His toes were frozen, his face frost-bitten, but he
carried on. to arrive in Valdez a good hour before his two
companions, who had started out for help. Immediately
aid went out on foot and by plane and Martin was located
and taken to a hospital, only to succumb some hours later
from the long exposure he had undergone.
Grim, stark, cruel reality; no movie heroics this, but
glorious symbol of the best in man.—The Juneau Empire.

BUFFALO. N. Y„ Jhne —"Read
ing him like a book” becomes more
that a figure of speech to the visit
or in the new Hall of Man at the
Buffalo museum of Science, Buffalo,
New York, which was opened re
cently.
One of the most striking of the
exhibits consists of two anatomical
models split into series of thin sec
tons whch can be separated book
fashion permitting the student to
“look at his own insides" not mere
ly along one plane, but at any place
he wishes, either from right to left
or from head downward. The entire
hall is devoted to the anatomist’s
and physiologist’s task of showing
how the humon body works and
how it may best be guarded against
malfunction and disease.
The central exhibit is a replica of
"the Transparent Man", of century
of progress fame. There are other
exhibits show ing the pumping ac
tion of the heart, the production of ,
voice sounds, the course of blood
corpuscles, events in life before
birth, etc.
One of the most ingenious is an
electrically driven lu.rr 1 skeleton
which goes through all the normal
motions usually • given t.> the bones
by the contracting muscles.
