The principal feature of the Eng

the older intermittent process. In

changing of retorts. requiring the
labor of many men. he has accom-

without waste. with little handling
and without any of the extremely

cost Of only a fraction of former
costs and has Increased the volume

The Earth's Crust.

pY reproducing the conditions Of
pressure and temperature that
probably exist at various depths be-
low the surface. one investigator has
shown that previous estimates Of the
depth at which the rocks that form
the crust of the earth begin to flow
are apparently wrong.
Into a steel mold this investigator
fitted a cylinder of granite that had
hole in the center, and subjected II
to very high pressure at different
temperatures. He found that at ordi
nary temperature and under tho con-
ditions of pressure that exist within
the crust granite will stand a weight
Of nearly one hundred tons to the
square inch. This load is more than
seven times as great as that which
would crush the granite at the sur
face. The scientist concludes that
mineral veins and replacement de-
posits may be formed within the
crust at least eleven miles below the
surface-much deeper than it is pos
sible to follow them by present meth
DDS. Previous calculations placed the
depth at which all cavities would
close and the hardest rocks would
flow at between seven and eight
miles.

Americanization Needs.

NOT ipfrequently the prepayment of
a vigorous Americanization program
is answered with ooh, what's the use?
A few foreigners, more or less, who
don't understand us, won't hurtp'
There are plenty of patriotic and
sentimental reasons why "a few more
or less" will hurt and hurt badly. And
there are as many practical reasons.
Bolshevism, Red propaganda, Soviet
ism, radicalism of all kinds, are not
spread in America by Americans, but
by foreigners. Short of deporting all
foreigners, which rs urttinkable in
peace times, there is no other plan
save that of Americanization, which
will keep this the America Of Ameri-
cans instead of try-out station for
wild codnmunistic and anarchistic
schemes.
An instance of the need of greater
vigilence in Americanization work is
at hand in the funny reports printed in
German papers regarding the election
According to some of these, President
Harding is about to resign, Governor
Smith of New York is to become
President, the prohibition laws were re-
pealed, the entire Congress was turned
out of office, and new one installed.

proper Americanization education, the
facts about this country, it is hardly

parents, in writing to Europe, could

many is told by her newspapers a set

tons, but that is not the point Mis-
representation and misunderstanding
of one country by another, interfere
with trade, cause friction, and some
times war, and prevent the spread of
culture and education, and thus of civ
ilization.
Not to realize that Americanization
is as important to our foreign chill
dren and their parents, as education is
both to them and to American chill
dren, is to remain unconscious of one
of the vital problems which is to-day
faced by the land we love.

men can hope to base a plea for
pardon. There was no sense of re-
venge, no desire to inflict w1ong,
but only desire to see justice done

Orchards pardon.
There is, however, one truly un-

the things he did. But this applica-

for another and another. Some day,
