Many people are terribly afriad of quicksand because they don't understand what it is or have wrong ideas about it. For hundreds of years I BUBBLE GUM inc. d? UUICK S people believed quicksand had some strange kind of suction that pulled victims under. They believed there was little hope of getting out alive if you ever fell in. The truth is that quicksand can't hurt you if you know handle yourself in it. Quicksand isn't always made of sand. It can be any kind of loose soil pebbly mud, mixtures of mud and sand. The thing that makes it "quick" is that water is flowing upward through it. The ssnd you walk on at a beach isn't quick no matter how wet it gets even when it's underwater. You can't sink in it. This is because water is just lying on top of it or soaking downward through it. But when water wells up through sand or loose soil, as from an underground spring, it makes the whole sand mass swell. The sa"j is no longer packed like beach sand. Each grain rests partly on a cushion of upswelling water.

The depth to which you'll sink in any liquid depends on the weight of the liquid. The heavier the liquid, the higher you'll float. Since, quicksand is heavier than water, you'll float higher in it than you do in water. So the best thing to do if you happen to get into quicksand is try to run. If you sink too fast to run, lie flat on your back and float. Shout for help. Or slowly roll yourself to firm ground. Bushmii'cf By Ernie NANCY By YES. B.. AND THE WlCc,TO0.'I Alfred Andriola w rWT?
