TESTS ID TELL AGE OF PACIFIC WILL 6E MADE

Expedition Sails Soon For Year’s Study Of Ocean Bed

Washington. — Artificial earthquake son the bottom may cause hardly a ripple on the surface of the Pacific Ocean but are expecte dto aid materially in determining its age and origin, according to Prof. Maurice Ewing of Lehigh University who will manufacture the quakes. The TNT vibrations will be part of a year-long scientific expedition into the south-central Pacific which leaves San Francisco, Sept. 19, aboard the U. S. Coast Guard cutter Hamilton to study geology, gravity and magnetism in an area 5,000 miles in an east-west direction and 2,500 miles north and

south.

The expedition expects to learn for the first time whether any appreciable amount of sediment, washed down from the land, accumulated from shells and skeletons of marine animals, and deposited from the air, lies on the ocean floor' and to determine how long the process has been going _ on, thus furnishing a clew to the age of the sea and consequently

the continents.

Sound Waves To Be Gauged The “earthquakes" which will be produced by small “time bombs” sunk to the bottom of the sea and exploded by clock work will cause vibrations in the sea bottom similar to those produced by earthquakes. When the bomb explodes the sound vibrations will travel

It is certain that unnecessary use of the horn creates noise, conLusion and accidents but not until recently was a concrete example presented to the motoring public, Todd Stoops of the Hoosier Motor

club said today.

“Near Michigan City recently,” said Stoops, “a young woman had stopped at a railroad crossing to Plow a passenger train to pass. Animpatient motorist behind her, by horn-honking caused her to become confused and she started her car too soon and was struck and killed by a height train traveling in the

opposTte direction.

“It would be impossible to guess how many accidents are caused by the heedless use of the horn but if a check could be made the result might be startling. The motorist/in front at a railroad crossing or at a busy street intersection is in a position to know when to cross the tracks or enter into a busy street. He too may be in a hurry but caution holds him back until movement can be made in safety. The impatient horn-honker behind knows nothing of the dangers which face the motorist in front yet he honks his horn often causing the motorist in front to take unneces-

sary traffic chances.

“The new Indiana law on horns requires all automobiles to be equipped with a horn, in good working order and capable of emit-

ting

tional institutions last year, it was found that “the greatest field for increasing employment (and at the same time reducing maintenance cost) lies fw expansion of the farn. program to meet the large stateuse demand for agricultural products.” Accordingly, the 193S production of conserved fruits and vegetables was stepped up to 401,952 gallons—an increase of 30 per cent over the 1937 production of 299,572 gallons. Farming plans mapped out last winter, together with improvements in canning methods and equipment, are expected to raise the 1939 output another 100.-

000 gallons this year.

Canneries at the Girls’ School, Clermont, the State Farm, Greencastle, the Reformatory, Pendleton, and the Logansport State Hospital swung into action early in June. These four institutions have already canned 44,000 gallons of spinach, peas and rhubarb, ^t the State Prison, Michigan City, the cool, moist spring produced a bumper crop of peas on 60 acres of farm land. Inmates harvested almost 55,000 pounds of shelled peas there last month. Prison mess halls have served 3,785 pounds of fresh peas, and the remaining 50,797 pounds have been canned. This production represents a surplus above the prison’s own needs, and arrangements have been made to transfer. a part of the production to other institutions which cannot successfully grow peas or which do not have facilities for canning them. The Michigan City, institution has also canned 5,628 gallons of greens and spinach. Other surplus crops to be grown and canned at the prison include green beans, sweet corn,

beets and cabbage.

Both the State Prison and the Reformatory have added more floor space to their canneries this year. ■ The addition of a few' pieces of equipment and rearrangement of machinery will provide more rapid and efficient handling of perishables. In modernizing canning techniques, the farm department has

Coordination of institution farm ing and food-processing activities began a little over two years ago when, on the order of Governoi M. Clifford Townsend, central man agement of institution farms was placed under Thurman A. Gott schalk, supervisor or state institu tions and public welfare adminis trator. By this order the Division of Institutions was made responsible for the operation of almost 16,000 acres of farm land. Before that time each farm had operated as a separate unit, depending upon it sown equipment and attempting to supply the food needs of the institution to wdiich it was attached. Under centralized management each separate acre has become a part of a general system adapted to meet the needs of all institu-

tions.

Idle farm machinery and canning equipment have been transferred from one institution to another where there was greater need. Regular meetings of farm managers and institution superintendents have been held in advancing modern agricultural practices. Maps have been made of fields and regular schedules for crop rotations established for ,the conservation ot the soil. This coordination has resulted in savings in management and has produced larger yields. In addition, farming and food-processing activities provide valuable job-training for the inmates of correctional institutions as well as occupational therapy for patients at mental hospitals.

Student Workers Must Have Numbers Charles W. Legeman, manager of the Muncie field office, of the Social Security Board, advised employers today that students working duripg vacation periods at various occupations must have Social Security account numbers. Wages earned by students, who hold certificates or permits from the State to work during vacation, should be reported the same as is done for

adult workers.

Mr. Legeman stated that information concerning the requirements covering such classification of workers is available at the field office upon request; also, that any minor coulth obtain a Social Security account number by writing or calling at the Muncie field office which h .1 in the Chamber of Commerce Building, at Muncie. Mr. Legeman also pointed out that even one hour’s work by a student, for which he received payment, called for the reporting by the employer of the student’s name, account number, and the amount of wages paid for the services rend- ' ered, when the employer files his current report with the Collector of Internal Revenue. DAINTY CAKES FOR SUMMER PARTIES

LAKE MAXINKUCKEE, THE SITE OF CULVER MILITARY ACADEMY \

A trip to Lake Maxinkuckee and Culver Military Academy is suggested by the Hoosier Motor Club. Lake Mabdnkuckee is the second largest lake in Indiana with an area of 1,955 acres and Culver is famed over the country as a mili-

taiy institute.

The generosity of the Culver family is responsible for the Military Academy and its summer schools, which are the Culver

laboratories of the National Association of Qanners. Soils are tested by Purdue University to assure the wisest use of farm land.

During the. past year the State

Board of Health has inspected all institution canneries from the standpoint of sanitation and use of accepted canning practices. Changes recommended by the Board of Health have been made as a protection to the inmate con-

sumers, Mr. Kercher said. About half of last year’s output

was processed at the three correctional institutions for men—the State Prison, Reformatory and the State Farm. The State Prison alone conserved 101,037 gallons‘of fruits and vegetables. Of this amount 44,000 gallons were disposed of to other institutions. This production represented an increase of about 50 per cent over the 1937 level at

the prison.

Principal items conserved in 1938 were 124,307 gallons of tomatoes and tonfato products, 76,594 gallons of green beans, 56,185 gallons of fruit and fruit products, 48,440 gallons of sweet corn, 14,025 galons of peas, 9,568 gallons of beets, 5.739 gallons of greens and

Over three-fourths of the conserved foods were packed in number 10, or “gallon,” cans. Slightly over 30,000 gallons were processed in barrels and another 30,000 gallons in glass and earthen contain-

ers.

Other institutions operating canneries besides those already mentioned- -include!- MuscaLqtuck Colony for the feeble-minded, Butler-

Woodcraft Camp for boy r s, nine to fourteen. The Culver family never has taken any profit from these institutions, and in June 1932 transferred their private ownership to a trust foundation. This gift was one of the most generous in the history of education, aggregating in plant, equipment and endowment some-

thing over six million dollars.

Indians named the lake but all efforts to have the word Maxinkuckee interpreted have proven futile. The United States government obtained title to the lake and surrounding territory from the Pottawattomi Indians fdr the sum

of eight hundred dollars.

Culver is located on Aubeenaubee Bay and there is much activity on the lake during the summer months. The Culver boys in summer camp, compete with boys of the ridley Naval camp on Bass Lake just ten miles west, in boat

racing and boxing contests.

Cottages and hotels surround the lake and most all forms of amusement may be found such as fishing, swimming, boating, dancing, golfing, and horse back riding.

DUST COVERED BOX YIELDS 28 COINS OF ANCIENTS

Little afternoon teas and casual porch parties are the popular ways to entertain during warm weather. Not only guests but also hostesses enjoy themselves, for parties like these do not require a great deal of preparation. The main attraction is tall glasses of frosty cool fruit juices to be sipped leisurely during the conversation. To add a pleasing party touch, serve a tray of dainty and tempting tea cakes.

Republicans Avon votes in 1938 by two ruses. To the WPA workers they gave promise of higher pay. To the business man they j promised economy and lower taxes. In both respects the G.O.P. Congressmen failed to deliver and voters who fell for this political chicanery are not going to be so easily trapped in 1940. Instead of higher wages, the WPA Avorkers are getting “enforced” vacations because of Republican votes in Congress. The business man Avho voted for lower taxes got fooled. The citizen Avho voted for less spending got fooled. The voter who cast his ballot for a balanced budget got fooled, because even the Democratic tax program wasn’t enough to match the Republican spending program. We don’t have to argue to prove these points. Just look at the record. The budget demand of President Roosevelt totaled $8,768,887,271. Congress appropriated $9,312,223,912, or $543,336,641 more than the total budget estimated by the „ President to be sufficient for all needs and within means of the federal •government.

A Harrisburg, Pa., dispatch by the Associated Press is the best answer. It read: “Republican leaders of the Pennsylvania state legislature met here today to plaff for a special session at which t^iey expect to impose about $100,000,000 in new taxes. There’s the story of the great Republican program of “tax reduction” for Pennsylvania. It is positive proof that the G.O.P. has no more of a genuine program to cut taxes than it has a genuine program to put men

back to work.

Supreme Test of Democracy

The Eating of the Green By Frances Lee Barton— /COLORS have certain traits that are universally sensed. The green of grass or leaves; the green of the ocean; green salads, beverages and desserts — all give one a feeling of coolness

at sight.

Remember this when serving meals. A cool looking salad attracts. A cool tasting salad delights. A carefully balanced green salad is ideal for these early Fall days, particularly when the thermometer is still too high for comfort. Sea Dream Cheese Salad 1 package lime-flavored gelatin; 1 cup hot water; 1 cup grated cucumber; 1 tablespoon vinegar; % teaspoon scraped onion; dash of cayenne; Vz teaspoon salt; 1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese; VL cup sliced green pepper; 1 cup diced celery. Dissolve gelatin in hot water. Add cucumber, vinegar, onion, cayenne, and salt Force through sieve. Chill. When slightly thickened, add V2 to softened cream cheese. Fold in green pepper and celery, turn into individual molds, and chill until firm. Fill molds with remaining thickened gelatin mixture. Chill until firm. Unmold on crisp lettuce. Garnish with mayonnaise, if desired. Serves 6.

Rev. Harry Emerson Fosdick, pastor of Riverside Church, in New York City, sometimes called the “Rockefeller church,” gave America this sage advice in a recent sermon: “The real test of democracy versus dictatorship is not on the battlefield—God grant that test may not come!—but even if it did, the real test in the long run would be elsewhere. “Granted democratic liberty, can Ave use it for the good of all the people, until, in comparison with the security, prosperity and equality of a free nation, the dictatorships are a poor second best? That is the ultimate test. “All the navies we can build, all the armaments we can amass, Avill not in the end protect democracy unless, having achieved liberty, we use it for the good of all the people. “When it is a matter of hunger for their children, the mass of the people Avill say, one way or another: ‘It is better to be fed regularly than to be free.’ “The Communists say that. That

is th?ir appeal to the poor. The Fascists say that. That is part of their appeal to the rank and file. “And we in the democracies cannot beat that Avith our popular, socially-irresponsible, individualistic, every-man-for-himself idea of freedom.” We are sure Dr. Fosdick Avould not quarrel with us if we suggested that he might have gone just one step farther and said that in a democracy we must insist on economic, as well as political and religious, freedom. Economic freedom means that every man and woman, able and Avilling to work, shall have a chance to do so and a wage which will assure an American standard of living. That is not unreasonable. The vast natural resources given us by an indulgent Providence makes it entirely possible. If we will only set our minds on that goal and refuse to be diverted by the cries of the politicians and the propagandists, Ave will have no occasion to worry about this country slipping into the arms of either Communism or Fascism.—Labor.

If Congress appropriated more money than Roosevelt requested, then why are WPA workers being dismissed?

In almost every instance they cut the appropriations Roosevelt particularly requested, in spite of the fact that the President had shown conclusively that (he full amounts Avere vitally needed. On the other hand, they dipped deeply into the pork barrel, providing handsome sums for their states and districts.

At the same time they whisper to constituents how they procured federal money for them, Roosevelt Avas stopped from getting sufficient money to keep WPA jobs for reliefers. In the 1939 deficiency bill he asked $875,000,000—got $825,000,000; in the 1940 relief deficiency bill he requested $1,762,490,000—got $1,755,600,000.

EXPLORERS HOPE TO SPAN DESERT IN AUSTRALIA

o UPSET TRADITIONS MEAN MORE BEAUTIFUL BOUQUETS

Gardeners can get house bouquets of unusual beauty this summer if they are willing to upset a few traditions. First, they must forget that morning glories and petunias are generally grown for garden beauty rather than for cutting and house beautification. And they must forget also that floAvers ordinarily are cut just after they have come into full bloom. According to flower experts of the Ferry-Morse Seed Breeding Station, house bouquets of the greatest beauty may be obtained by picking petunias in the bud. This protects the opening blossom from damage by insects, wind, rain and dust. When the blossoms open slowly in the quiet coolness of the house they are of matchless quality. Heavenly Blue Morning Glory, the experts say, should be handled similarly. Pick those buds which have long stems and a feAv leaves, and arrange them in a vase and set in a cool, dark place in the home. If long sections of vine are picked, they can be arranged to hand down gracefully from the mantle. Buds with shorter stems may be arranged upright in vases, like ordinary cut floAvers. Usually the buds will open in 6 to 12 hours; and you will find them far more lovely than the AvindbloAvn blossoms out-of-doors. They will last from 3 to 10 hours in the house, depending upon the light and temperature. vQ JOCKEY, 10, LICENSED

“Personally, I would like to see the Republican party come into power,” said one speaker, Congressman Usher. L. Burdick, Rep., of N. D., on the floor of the House of Representatives, “but unless the leadership revises its philosophy, there is no chance. To gain the confidence of the people, our party must come out flat-footed on a platform that thinks of the poor, the distressed and the weak and forget every type of special privilege. > “For the four years after Hoover came into office in 1929, no one can say that business was so tied up Avith restrictions and taxes that it could not employ people. Business had a free hand. Yet we had the most disastrous break-up in our history. When President Roosevelt came in, banks, insurance companies, railroads, manufacturing plants were prostrate. Those with money in banks could not. draw it out. When buying power and credit are gone, anything can happen. “It was the personality of Roosevelt that stepped into the breach. No matter hoAv many mistakes he had made, history Avill record the fact that he actually saved the government from a sickening breakdown. Yet all that Republicans have had to offer is that busniess again be given the privilege of reverting to the practices that almost wrecked the country. Business and its Republican spokesmen demand tax reductions and other concessions, even though representatives of business have admitted before the Ways and Means Committee that if permitted to write their own ticket they cannot possibly put back into jobs more than 3,000,000 of the jobless men and women.” The Republicans, he charged, constitute “a party whose sole ambition is to protect the large business interests of the country.” What Senator M. M. Neeley, Dem. of W. Va., told the U. S. Chamber of Commerce conA r ention also Avas unreported, even in the record of proceedings. “In March, 1933, to many of you,” said the senator, “lowliness was young ambition’s ladder’ whereon this Administration helped you ‘upward to turn your face’; but now that you haA r e attained the topmost round, many of you ‘look in the clouds, scorning the base degrees and instrumentalities’ by Avhich you did ascend.

The cost of maintaining and operating a clear channel, all-time communication highway for a state-owned radio station is startlingly small when compared to the cost of maintaining the transportation highways of the state, Ben-

net said.

Pointing out that the suggested 2-cent tax would place the burden on the potential users of the station, Bennett explained that each month utility customers pay 20 cents for electricity to operate their radios and approximately $2.25 for gasoline tax.
