SURVEY ANSWERS QUERIES.
Geological Bureau Replies to 1000
Letters n Week.


Many persons in the United States evil
IDENTIFY think of the United States Geo
logical Survey as a great bureau of geo.
logical information, for the survey an
swered 5000 letters of inquiry last year
concerning the earths crust and what it
contains. Letters come from all part of
the country at the rate OF about a thou
sand a week, asking the name. source.
character use, and value of minerals,
and the location of various kinds of rocks
suitable for different uses. These letters
ask not only about the geology of this
country, but also about the rocks and
minerals Of foreign countries. More and
more inquiries for information about our
mineral resources are coming from South
and Central America The representa-
tives OF one foreign country wanted to
know where to get a large supply Of coal
of a particular grade, and a purchaser
from another country wanted to place an
order for monthly shipments of several
hundred tons of lime.
The Survey is in close touch with the
$1,000 producers Of minerals in the United
States, and is ready to answer questions
about the annual production OF 10 differ
ent minerals or mineral products. Fur
thermore, the Survey knows the places in
the United States where more than 42j

it Is in a position to act as the public
agency in bringing the mineral producer
and consumer into touch with each other.
Federal law prohibits the Survey from
making special examinations, such as as
says and analyses for private individ-
uals, but the biologists can make simple
mineral determinations and give infor-
nation as to the Identity and use Of min
erals submitted. It is an everyday oc-
currence for the Survey to answer many
such questions as these: What is this
mineral, and If 1t is of value, where can
find a purchaser Where can 1 get
a supply of sand in my own State that
will analyze 81 per cent silica?" Where
does platinum occur?' I'm what geo
logic relations is manganese ore found?"
By answering the many and miscellane-
Gus inquiries for geologic information the
Survey is becoming increasingly valuable
to the public.
Many an inquiring citizen is referred to
his own State Survey for more detailed
information, for many people do not
know that they have in their own State
an officer or organization ready to an
swer questions about the geology and
mineral resources of the State. There are
now forty-one State geologists, or equiv
aIent State officials, many of them work.

meeting, introducing Mrs. Arthur Cap

Social Structure,

What is Il social structure2 1t may
be an ant hill or a democracy. 1t is
Usually composed of a of indi-
Niduals banded together for mutual
disagreement 1t is centrfpetnl and
centrifugal. Each Individual would
like to get out of it, but he doesn't
know how. Small masses Of individ-
uals, also banded together, would like
to get out of 1t, but they don't know
how. Larger masses of individuals
banded together would like. TO get rid
of some Of the smaller masses. but
they don't know how. Nobody wants
everybody else to stay. Everybody
doesn't want anybody to stay. The
result is that Nobody can get rid of
anybody.
Hence the social structure.-Life.
