SCIENTIST SAYS 3 CONTINENTS FLOATED APART

Southern Lands Once Lay Around South Pole, Geologist Believes.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16 (U. P). —Dr. W. W. Watts, British geologist, today offered scientific evidence which he believes shows that South Africa, South America and Australia were at one time parts of a great continent close to the South Pole. His findings, revealed in the annual report of the Smithsonian In- | stitution, gave credence to the old | concept of a hypothetical continent | of Gondwanaland around the South | Pole. | Chief evidence of the Southern | continent was scratches of glacial | drift over rocks in these parts of the southern hemisphere and glacial | deposits of gravel. Continent Floated

He said that some geologists be- | lieve that the glaciated lands formed part of a single land mass | morethan 20.000 years ago. This] mass floated like a raft across the! South Pole regions. | Dr. Watts explained that this theory fitted in with the hypothesis of continental drift advanced by the German scientist, Alfred Wegener. Under this theory, the present regions of South Africa, southern South America, Madagascar, Australia, New Zealand and Tasmania

Skin blemishes are aggravated by constipation. Just as’it can cause loss of appetite, nervousness, and weakness. Dr.F.M. Edwards treated hundreds of women for constipation and frequently noted remarkable improvement in their appearance. For his treatment he used a vegetable compound Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets. This laxative is gentle, yet very effective, because it increases the bile flow without shocking the intestinal system.

commander. The legion was assured today of a 1938 enrollment of 443,350. That number of dues-paid legionnaires was reported in a telegraphic poll. It was the second largest membership report in Legion history exceeded only in 1936, and represented 47.4 per cent of the 935,112 quota for 1938. Last year the roll call showed 448559 advance memberships and the year before the total was 266,728. Indiana earned a “Big Ten” rating by placing seventh in the list of states with a total of 24,000 . . . 75.21 percent of its 31,911 quota for 1938. Omaha, Neb, Post 1 reported 2500 members paid in advance. Ted Metcalf, Nebraska state commander, said the post is she largest in the country. The Memphis post was

second. Wisconsin exceeded its member- | ship quota, reporting 30,000 paid- | up members.

Peace Is Urged

Addressing an appreciation lunch- | eon given in his honor yesterday by the Indianapolis Chamber of | Commerce, Mr. Doherty pledged the | legion, under his leadership, to | “carry on unswervingly its program | of constructive patriotic service. It | will keep up the fight, with re- | newed ardor, to maintain an hon- | orable peace for America and to | uphold traditional American prin- | ciples, opposing extremists of both the left and the right.” Mr. Doherty discussed preserva- | tion and peace, and declared: “The American Legion and busi- | ness have a joint interest and com- | mon responsibility. We know that | confidence in peace is the first necessity of the country’s progress. We realize the ghastly futility of war. We shudder at its cost. We are determined that our sons and daughters shall never know an America involved in war if we, in honor, can prevent it. The American business thought and action should find accord in this.” He called the legions basic uni-versal-service proposal “sound” and “absolutely irrefutable.”

Speaking on unemployment, he said that “the American Legion is concerned with the trend in in- | dustry to shelve all men who have attained 40 years or more.”

He pleaded for industry to “stop men |

that trend” and re-employ older than 40 it had dismissed. He also said that the legion is seeking “a practical and workable preference” for veterans in government service.
