YELLOW PERIL BUGABOO BLOWN UP BY EXPERT Orient Too Deficient in Commercial Minerals, Says Professor. Bn Times Special SAN FRANCISCO, April 26.—The bugaboo of conquering hordes of the Yellow Peril, idustrialized and militarized after the pattern of western nations, is a fiction based on fable, not fact. Prof. C. L. Keith of the geological department of University of AViscon- ! sin is authority for the statement, ! and lie bases it c. results of a tenyear geological survey of China recently completed. The survey showed that, contrary to popular belief, the Far East is deficient in those commercial minerals essential to Industrial supremacy. Eastern Asia, the Philippines, East Indies and Japan altogether contain only o per cent of tho world's copper, 1 per cent of the world's iron, 5 per cent of its coal and 3 per cent of its oil, says Keith. In contrast to this, the countries bordering the North Atlantic have 90 per cent of the world's coal, 98 per cent of its iron ore, 65 per cent of its copper and 90 per cent of its oil. “The reserves of iron ore now know'll to exist In China are not large enough to warrant the hugs capital investments necessary to the building of a great iron and steel industry,” says Professor Keith. “In Japan the same condition exists. Naerly half Japan’s iron reserves are one mine, and her total, including Korea, does not come up to 100,000.000 tons. She is exhausting her coal faster than other nations, and is turning to water power as a conservation measure. “From the standpoint of mineral resources w f e may regard the Far East countries not as challenging western supremacy but as calling for our sympathetic cooperation in their contests with unsatisfactory environmental conditions.” PLAY HAZING FATAL Actor Bounced by ‘Students’ Falls on Head.

BOARD WILL ACT TUESDAY NIGHT ON SHORTRIDGE First Steps for Building at Thirty-Fourth St. to Be Taken. First steps for the immediate erection of the new Shortridge High School at Thirty-Fourth and Meridian Sts. will be taken at the school j | board meeting Tuesday night, Theo- ‘ i dore Vonnegut, president, said today. I Proposal to build a structure wdtli 1 | a capacity of 1,800 pupils, supp rting | | it with junior high schools or two regular high schools, will be submitted. If there are no strenuous objec ; tions to the proposition, the board will adopt resolutions to abandon j plans for a 2,600 capacity school and J will order architects to draw new | plans. Ground-Breaking Plan A committee of educators and j members of the city's education de- j partment vClll be selected to confer I with the architects. After recommendations of this 1 committee are made a committee from the buildings and grounds com- j mittee of the board will consider the actual construction features of the new structure. The board plans to break ground for the new building, if agreed on. j in September, and have it ready for occupancy by January, 1928, at the j latest. f\Tiile the new school is b< ing constructed a survey will be j ade to | determine the location of the Junior or the two other high schools, it was J said. This program will not he adopted, ! however, until the new- building is under construction and the financial j condition of the board will permit Immediate work on the supporting system. School Assured It may be that requests for a ! Larger school will be made. If so. Charles W. Kern, building and grounds committee chairman, said anew site will be bought. He said the board will give up tne 1.800 ca- j parity proposition and obtain another site on which a 2.500 capacity school will be erected. He asserted that no matter what the plan is there will be anew Shortridge by September, 1925. One objection to the junior system will be that the smaller children can not walk to tho schools. Junior j highs in other cities are made np. : generally, of the last two public j school grades and the first two in j high school. George Buck. Shortridge principal, said lie believed an 1.800 school will not aid conditions. Kern, however asserted the erection of Crispus At- j tucks and Washington High Schools | on the west side, will relieve the 1 congested conditions. SCHOOL IDOL IS DESCRIBED BY I. U.

April 26.—This country is shifting more and more ; to an industrial and manufacturing j basis. Dr. David White, of the United States Geological Survey, wrote Herbert Hoover, commerce secretary, warning that unless more financial aid is given to pure science research this country will be unable to cope eventually with the needs of human progress. United States has sacrificed pure science in gaining pre-eminence in applied science, Dr. David pointed out, and the latter will dry up unless something is done to better maintain the source of fundamental science.
