Cite Lords Prayer
in Legal Brief

st. Louisa petition In the
Lords Prayer was quoted In a
brief filed by counsel for nine
bakeries who are attempting to
enjoin the enforcement of an or
dinance requiring bakeries to be
closed after o a. m. on Sundays.
Advocates of this law are
guilty of hypocrisy and fly in
the face Of a divine mandate"
said the brief. "In the Lords
Prayer we find the petition:
Give us this day our daily
bread Bread is needed on Sun
day as much as on any other
day, even though legislative
Holy Rollers make that prayer
a mockery and try to prevent
the Lord from acceding to our
request"
The brief also asserts that the
closing ordinance is In conflict
with a state law which permits
the Sunday sale of drugs and
provisions.

Float
Like IcebergS

were cut into blocks by vertical planes.
with the base Of each block at depth
of sixty miles below sea level. and the
area of the bases of the blocks were
the same and as large as 100 miles
square, these blocks would have the
same mass; that is, they would weigh
the same.
Weight Is Equal.
BY means of the geodetic observa.
lions by the United States coast and
geodetic survey, the weight of these
blocks have been found to be approxi-
mately equal. This result had been
suspected for decades, but Doctors
Bowie and Hayford have proved 1t.
Geological science will be profound
ly changed by this discovery, for now
we know the mountain masses are due
to the presence Of lighter material In
the earth's crust under them, and that
the ocean bottoms are low because
the material under them Is denser or
heavier than the average.
Doctor Bowie concludes that there
Is no tendency for the mountain
masses to break down through the
earth's crust, as they are not extra
loads. They are like the portions of
icebergs projecting out of the water
which are held up by the Ice which
Is below or in the water. The Ice
berg floats, and so does the noun
tain.
Doctor Bowie also holds that, as
mountain system are In areas which
were once very low In elevation, noun
tains are caused by a swelling Of the
material In the earth's crust under
them. A lessening Of the density of
three per cent in column GO miles
long Will elevate the area about 1900
feet Such change In density, due
10 physical or chemical changes, Is
within reasonable limits.
Flow Is Below Crust.
AS the mountains, plateaus, valleys
and the ocean areas are In equilibrium
there must have been transference
of material from the column Of the
earth's crust under an area where sedI-
hChto uiC ucpooitCh, DdCh W tllt
from which the material was eroded
by water and wind. Doctor Bowie
believes that the flow Of material takes
place just below the crust, that is
somewhat below 60. miles. The ex-
act depth at which the flow from one
column to another takes place may
never be discovered.
Doctor Bowie states that. as ma
terial is eroded from a>mountain area,
the new material pushed In at the
bottom will tend to keep the aver
age elevation Of the mountain system
approximately constant. When ma
terial is pushed into the column under
mountain system to counter balance
the eroded matter. every particle Of
the column is carried upward into
colder zone. Under areas Of heavy
sedimentation, the material Of the
earth's crust is pushed down into hot
ter regions. A piece of material may
thus be raised up or carried down AZ
much as six miles and, at times, more.
The great changes In temperature are
probably the cause Of the uplIft AZ
mountain system in an area Of sedi-
mentation. and Of the sinking Of the
surface where erosion has been great.
