hit the line for yard and Whitfield
made IA in two tries for enother
first down. Rinck lost one. then
made nine in two tries and Viner
plunged through center for nine
yards and first down. On the next
play Rinck galloped through for 10
yards and the first touchdown
Ramser missed a dropkick on the
try for the extra point. The rest Of
the quarter was uneventful except
for a forward pass by East Moline
by which they gained Is yards.
I Second Quarter.

KNOW LITTLE OF VOLCANOES
Scientists Look to Region in Alaska,
Where Comprehensive Study
May Be Made.

To scientists. one of the significant
features in connection with the exist
ence of the extensive volcanic region
in Alaska Is the fact that ii Is sit
uated where In the future, at least,
1t will be easily accessible for study.
And there is much room for the study
Of volcanoes. Although volcanism was
probably one of the first of natures
spectacular phenomena to thrill man,
II presents one of the few obvious
problems about which science has no
satisfactory hypothesis. Just where
the heat comes from which melts
stone, why it is concentrated within
definite areas from what depths the
molten material rises and why it rises
these are some of the problems
about which there has been much
speculation, but In regard to which
few satisfactory theories exist.
Telltale fossils and types Of rock
show that the mountains Of the
Alaskan peninsula and the Aleutian
islands are older than either the Him
alayas or the Alps, systems which are
practically without volcanoes 1t does
now follow, however that volcanic
activity accompanies age, for the Ap-
palachians, among the Oldest noun
tains Of the earth, have no volcanoes
