his only son Bill, a senior at Yale,
In an effort to keep roads open for traffic during State Fair Week, the State Highway Commission has ~ lifted one detour, is to lift another tomorrow and has not added any during the last week. Road 37, between Bloomington and Martinsville, has been operied
and Road 67, which has been closed between Indianapolis and Anderson
most of the summer, is to be opened |
tomorrow morning. Traffic on Road 67 is to be routed into Indianapolis over Massachu-setts-av instead of 38th-st.

An hour later she was seated across the table from Bill's father in one of the town’s most exclusive restaurants. After a lavish luncheon, the cost of which mounted to two figures, he suggested a stroll down Fifth Avenue. Gogo readily agreed. Passing a jeweler’s, he gently guided her toward the window, and let her eyes feast on the riches displayed. “Isn't that just the most beautiful pin?” she cooed, pointing. “Like it?” he said, with a secret smile. “Then you shall have it.” “Oh—no—" She drew back. “I couldn't let you buy it.

Layers of Rock, Like Tree Rings, Tell Age of Formations.
BY WATSON DAVIS Director, Science Service Copyright, 1936, by Science Service WASHINGTON, Sept. 4. — The carth is a great clock that keeps a careful record of the expanses of time that it has been speeding through space around the sun. Early scientists thought the task of determining the age of the earth was quite hopeless. Mother Earth seemed to exercise a feminine prerogative of keeping her years secret. ; But the prying geologists have found not one, but several, reliable methods of determining the age of the earth. The record is written in the rocks of the earth’s crust. Careful physical and chemical tests and

radioactive elements as interpreted by Prof. T. R. Wilkins and W. B. Rayton of the University of Rochester allow the setting of the age of the solar system, at least when the earth was shot off from thé sun in the cataclysmic birth of the planets. It was. 2,500,000,000 years ago, which means that the earth took about a half billion years to lose heat and begin to form a crust.
sandstones in Colorado, Utah snd Wyoming, Dr. Wilmot H. Bradley of the United States Geological Survey finds that estimates of age arrived at in this manner check very well with those based on radioactivity. :
observations allow the reading of the record. Exploding atoms of elements that tear themselves asunder with monotonous regularity and indifference to surroundings—the phenomenon of radioactivity—constitute the mainspring of the principal time clock within the earth. Uranium, actino-uranium and thorium disintegrate into two stable products; helium gas and lead. Measure the amounts of helium or radioactive | lead in a rock and the age of the rock can be computed.
Two Billion Years Old
Through years of painstaking work and hundreds of precise analyses, scientists of the National Research Council's Committee on the Earth's Age know that the oldest rocks of the earth’s crust are some 2,000,000,000 years old—that is, they cooled down and crystalized that long ago. And rates of disintegration of

epoch, Dr. Bradley finds evidence of cycles in the way of earth layers laid down. One of these is a little less than 12 years in length and appears to correspond to the cycle of sunspot numbers, which also shows itself in tree rings. Astronomers are interested in another cycle that shows itself in Green River formation varves. It is about 21,600 years, which suggests to Dr. Bradley the 21,000 years resultant of two long-time cycles, one the eccentricity of the earth's orbit and the other the precession of the equinoxes. Thus there appears be a record in the earth of the changes which astronomers from their com-
Layers Tell Rock Age
Very much as the age of a tree can be told by the number of rings in its trunk, geologists have found it possible also to reckon the duration of lake-made rock deposits by the number of layers or ‘“varves” in them. Most of these varves, each representing a year of sedimentation with mostly organic material in summer and mineral content in winter, are about as thick as a sheet of paper. : Working with the famous Green River formation of oil shales and

putations are sure the earth ume derwent in past years. Lo + The pioneering researches of De Geer in investigating the sediments of Scandinavia of only a few million years ago, the geological time known as Pleistocene, stimulated such extensive study of earth chronology that it is now possible : to date prehistoric man and animals with unprecedented accue racy. Take famous Heidelberg man, for instance. He is about 500,000 years old. And Neanderthal man lived from 40,000 to 60,000 years before our time. Jumping to one of the most recent prehistoric periods, that of the Neolithic or New Stone Age, it is dated about 8500 to 5000 years ago. Biologists have known little about the time that it took animals and plants to evolve. The new geological knowledge will aid them. For instance, the Siberian mame moths, whose carcasses have been found in recent years in the cold storage of Arctic ice, may be about 15,000 years old, and for the whole evolution of the mammoth the new absolute chronology allo about 450,000 to 500,000 years. Mother Earth is revealing her age under the persistent cross-exami= nation of scientists. They are write ing her biography whether or no$
