Antarctic "Shelf Ice."

From the work of recent explora-
tions, Sir Douglas Mawson concludes
that the rock foundation on which the
Antarctic ice cap rests is very irregu-
lar, partly above sea level and partly
below, and that its thickness, which Is
very variable, may reach n maximum
of several thousand feet. Under the
thickest portions the static pressure at
the base may be as great as one ton
per square inch. Under such cover
ing there may be a considerable accu-
mutation of ground ,ieat, and it is as
sumed that the under portion OF the ice
mass Is undoubtedly soft and plastic.
Where the sea breaks up the Ice at a
rate faster than the flow, the sea front
Is substantially the coast line. But
elsewhere, as In the Great Ross barrier
and the Shackleton shelf, the supply
of ice exceeds the rate of erosion at
the sea front, and the overflow from
the land maintains thick sheet OF
"shelf ice" extending far out to sea.
The sea front of the ice cap, at the
present rate of advance or flowing out.
is estimated to have left the center In
the seventh century of our era.

Hiding a Kings Statue.

The fine equestrian statue Of King
Charles /, which was hidden in London
for protection during the war, has been
brought to light again. The statue,
which was cast during the reign of the
monarch, according to reports has not
enjoyed the uneventful career per-
mitted- to most works of its kind. 1t
was executed for Sir Richard Weston,
afterward earl of Portland, who in
tended to place it as an ornament in
his garden at Rochampton. But this
function it never fulfilled, for it was
seized by parliament during the Civil
war and sold to one John Rivett, a
brazicr, to be broken up. John. how
ever, being royalist, hid the statue.
and, by selling hundreds of bronze
knife handles purporting to be made
from it, disarmed any parliamentary
suspicious in the matter. On the res
toration of Charles III in 1860 Rivett
produced the statue, which was
claimed by Sir Richards son. The
brazier refused to yield it. and after
years of dispute 1t was eventually pre-
sented to King Charles ii and erected
on the spot formerly covered by the
original Charing cross.

TO BRING NEGROES SOUTH
Missssippians Formulating Plans for
Return of Worthy Ones Who
Have Been Misled.

Mississippi is going into the ques-
ton of getting negro labor back from
the north with an eye to real accom-
plishment, according to the secretary
of the Southern Alluvial Land Asso-
citation. A definite plan is we'll enough
formulated and supported that there
is reason to believe it's operation will
bring results before winter. In fact,
the plan itself is to get the negroes
back before cold weather
The Mississippi Welfare League is
sponsor. 1t detailed man to study
the proposition. He formulated what
appeared, after investigation, to be the
best and most feasible method, and
the league now is placing its propos-
ais before commercial clubs and kim
dred civic organizations throughout
the state for Endorsement and sup
port.
Clarksdale, Greenwood, Greenville,
cities in the delta are lined up solidly
with the project as result of meet
ings held in the last few days Other
cities undoubtedly will give their SUP
port.
In a general way the plan has two
main features:
First-To establish offices in Chi
cago and st. Louis, place capable
man in each and get in touch with
such negroes as are properly recon-
mended and who desire to return to
the south.
Second--To place in each office as
much publicity matter and literature
of interest to negroes as each city in
the state can furnish, and to wage a
| publicity campaign to offset the evil
and unfounded propaganda issued by
"big industry" and political forces
| that are the real agencies in alluring
and holding southern negroes in the
| north

warfare was a spectacular, as well
as bloody enterprise, in the days of

Silver affairs, surrounded by priests,

upon his troops and saw their strength

proud and wished to lead them to bat

recently went on strike in sympathy
with the striking employees Of the Pa

return to work, according to a state

Union officers advised Director
General Hines that the strike was
due to a misunderstanding and that
positive instructions have been given
that the men comply with their agree

''It is therefore expected" Mr.. Hines
said, that the men will return to

Matter Of Priority.

While the people of Denmark are
ylorying in the antiquity of their ma
tional flag, the "Dannebrog," which
claims the honor of seniority among
all the national flags. and are com
memorating it's origin in the thirteenth
century, Belgian and German patriots
are securing the Middle Ages on a
mission of vital import to their respec-
five flags. The new German state has
given indications of adopting for Its
colors black, yellow and red, disposed
horizontally. This has aroused pro-
tests in Belgium, which claims priority
in precisely the same colors, similarly
disposed, and patriotic societies are
said TO be forming to take action to
prevent Germany's adoption of them.
The Belgian claims are based on the
.olors of the princes of Flanders and

officials of the National Coal Asso-
ciation. which represents the bulk OF
the bituminous coal production IN this
country, have been invited TO appear
before the committee.
# can be stated definitely, but un-
officially, that this COMMITTEES will
not seek to make case for govern

far more disposed to pave the way for
some sort of co cooperative agreement

in order to avoid unfortunate indus
trial conditions during the winter, and
which will bring about a price situa-
tion satisfactorily to all concerned.
There does not seem to be any fixed
nrogramme in the minds OF the COM
mittee at this moment to that end,
but il is known that these senators
are not working deliberately toward
a renewal of rigid government regu
lation of the sources of coal or OF the
processes of distribution. They are
hoping that some plan will be pro-
posed that will avoid such consum-
nation. 1t can be safely assumed
that the men engaged in producing
and marketing coal will lend them
selves to any practical plan that pro
yides an escape from government con-
troll from the somewhat vague idea OF
naturalization of the coal mines and
from the bureaucracy with which they
had abundant experience during the
course of the war"
But it may also be assumed that the
labor witnesses who will appear be-
fore the committee will not be con-
tent with any voluntary arrangement
between the government and the coal
trade. The labor leaders who have
been heard from in this connection
seem welded to the idea of federaliza
ion of the coal resources of the coun-
trv in much the same manner that
they are advocating the liberalization

Paris. A liberal statesman, but
moderate in his political views, will
be named to head new coalition
cabinet in Hungary, the supreme
council was advised unofficially IN
dispatches from Budapest.
This announcement, it is considered,
follows the demand in Hungary that
the socialists be given voice in the
government 1t is also affected by the
stand taken recently. by the allies
against a reactionary regime in Buda-
pest
While awaiting confirmation of
Archduke Joseph's fall the supreme
council has sent note to Budapest,
stating the allies will never deal with
the Hapsburgs but will recognize the
first government based on a constit-
uent assembly.
Herbert Hoover's plan for direct
action in establishing a popular
Hungarian government is believed to
be the cause of the allied attitude.
Unless the United States stops
pussy footing with the Hungarian sit
uation, and once and for all makes it
plain to the Archduke Joseph that the
| United States will under no condition
recognize any Hapsburg as the head
OF the Hungarian government, all the
recently created republics in Central

threatened by rapidly reviying auto

urged immediate action in Hungary,

mand to force the archduke out Of
