Map depicts significant story on pickup in American industry. Washington, D.C. March 30. Tow lines on this chart hanging in the office of Isador Lubin, Commissioner of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, tell a significant story of the pickup in American Industry since 1933. Mr. Lubin points to line no. 1 which represents the consumers or nondurable goods industries (food, clothing, etc.) it began to climb in 1933 and has been on the upgrade ever since. Line no. 2 represents durable goods or heavy industry (steel building materials, machinery). It was hardest hit by the depression, lagged far behind even during most of 1936. But line no. 2 is going almost straight up. By March 1, it has attained a level almost parallel with consumers goods. This means that for the first time since 1929, payrolls in vital heavy industries are once again in a normal relation to payrolls in the consumer industries.

A shanty built of refuse near the Sunnyside slack pile, Herrin, Illinois Many residences in southern Illinois coal towns were built with money borrowed from building and loan associations. During the depression building and loan associations almost all went into receivership. Their mortgages were sold for whatever they would bring, and the purchasers demolished houses by the hundreds in order to salvage the scrap lumber. The result is a serious overcrowding and high rents in all the coal towns. A number of people can find no houses to rent, and are living in tents and shanties on the fringes of the town

Range :  40,000 km (24,8000 mi.) This picture of Triton is a mosaic of the highest resolution images taken by Voyager 2.  The mosaic is superimposed on the lower-resolution mapping images taken about 2 hours earlier in order to fill in gaps between high-resolution images.  The smallest features that can be seen on the images are about 0.8 km (0.5 mi.) across.  The terminator (line separation day and night) is at the top of the picture and is centered at about 30 degrees north latitude and 330 degrees longitude.  These highest-resolution images were targeted for the terminator region to show details of the topography by the shadows it casts.  Near the center of the picture is a depression filled with smooth plains that are probably ices which were once erupted in a fluid state.  The depth of the depression is about 300 meters (900 feet) and the prominent fresh impact crater on its floor is about 20 km (12 mi.) in diameter and about 1 km (0.6 mi.) deep.  On the right is a elongate crater with adjacent dark deposits about it.  This feature may be an explosive eruption vent formed by gaps within the ice.  The linear structure on the lest is probably a fracture along which fresh ice has been extruded. ARC-1989-A89-7063

Range :  220,000 mi. (left)/350,000 mi. (right) These pictures of the Moon were taken by the Galileo spacecraft.  Image on the right shows the dark Oceanus Procellarum in the upper center, with Mare Imbrium above it and the smaller circular Mare Humorum below.  The Orientale Basin, with a small mare in its center, is on the lower left near the limb or edge.  Between stretches the cratered highland terrain, with scattered bright young craters on highlands and maria alike.  The left image shows the globe of the Moon rotated, putting Mare Imbrium on the eastern limb and moving the Orientale Basin almost to the center.  The extent of the cratered highlands on tghe far side is very apparent.,  At lower left, near the limb, is the South-Pole-Aitken basin, similar to Orientale but very much older and some 1,200 miles in diameter.  This feature was previously known as a large depression in the southern far side; this image shows its Orientale-like structure and darkness relative to surrounding highlands. ARC-1990-A91-2011

This Magellan image reveals Sacajawea Patera, a large, elongate caldera located in wester Ishtar Terra on the smooth plateau of Lakshmi Planum.  The image is centered at 64.5 degrees north latitude adn 337 degrees east longitude.  It is approx. 420 km (252 mi.) wide at the base Sacajawea is a depression approx. 1-2 km (0.6-1.2 mi.) deep and 120 by 215 km (74 by 133 mi.) in diameter; it is elongate in a sousthwest-northeast direction.  The depression is interpreted to be graben adn fault scarps.  These structures are space 0.5 to 4 km (0.3 to 2.5 mi.) apart, are 0.6 to 4 km (0.4 to 2.5 mi.) in width and up to 100 km (62 mi.) in length.  Extending up to 140 km (87 mi.) in length from the southeast of the patera is a system of linear structures thought to represent a flanking rift zone along which the lateral injection and eruption of magma may have occurred.  A shield edifice 12 km (7 mi.) in diameter with a prominent central pit lies along the trend of one of these features.  The impact crater zlata, approx. 6 km (4 mi.) in diameter is located within the zone of graben to the northwest of the patera.  Few flow features are observed in association with sacajawea, possibly due to age and state of degradation of the flows.  Mottled bright deposits 4 to 20 km (2.5 to 12 mi.) in width are located near the periphery and in the center of the patera floor within local topographic lows.  Diffuse patches of dark material approx. 40 km (25 mi.) in width are observed southwest of the patera, superimposed on portions of the surrounding graben.  The formation of sacajawea is thought to be related to the drainage and collapse of a large magma chamber.  Gravitational relaxation may have caused the resultant caldera to sag, producing the numerous complex, highly deformed tessera-like terrain are located north and east of the patera and are seen in the upper portion of the image.  Color has been added to this image to simulate the appearance of the Venus surface. ARC-1990-AC90-3007

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- A pair of black-necked stilts protect their grass-lined nest in the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, which shares a boundary with Kennedy Space Center. Stilts usually produce three or four brown-spotted buff eggs in a shallow depression lined with grass or shell fragments. In the nesting season they are particularly agressive. Stilts are identified by a distinct head pattern of black and white, very long red legs, and straight, very thin bill. Their habitat is salt marshes and shallow coastal bays from Delaware and northern South America in the East, and freshwater marshes from Oregon and Saskatchewan to the Gulf Coast. The 92,000-acre wildlife refuge is a habitat for more than 310 species of birds, 25 mammals, 117 fishes and 65 amphibians and reptiles. The marshes and open water of the refuge also provide wintering areas for 23 species of migratory waterfowl, as well as a year-round home for great blue herons, great egrets, wood storks, cormorants, brown pelicans and other species of marsh and shore birds KSC-99pp0507
