EARTH is SHIFTING POSITION
According to Authorities, This Old
World Has Broken Loose From its
oIdtlme Moorlnas.
The earth's spin is webbing.

The earth's spin is webbing.
Lieut.. Col. 2. Jensen, Danish
scientist, who returned to London
recently from degree-measuring
expedition in Greenland, reports
that Greenland is moving westward
at the rate of 20 yards year.
This confirms the recent reports
of surprising climatic changes at
the North pole.
1t is now established that there
is a periodic shifting Of the latitude
of the North pole. The movement
is difficult to detect because OF the
small area of the pole-about the
size of tennis court.
Potsdam observatory reports
slow march northward. The obserya-
tory of Ukiah, Calf, reports a slnll-
lar change. The coast of Labrador
is rising from the sea.
Many authorities say that the
poles are gradually changing theI
positions, and that this alteration to
the worlds axis will in time mean
that regions which are at present
ice-bound will become warm, hab-
liable countries.
It seems that the world mas
broken loose from its moorlngs.

FAT MEN LOSE PLEA FOR.
FANEUIL HALL ELEVATOR

: BOSTON, April 24.-The nicely
laid plans of the corpulent mem
bers of the Ancient and Honor
able Artillery Company to have an
elevator included in the plans for
restoring FaneuiI Hall, so that they
might be saved the putting trip
over the stairs to their arnory,
have run into a most formidable
snag. The Bay State Historical
League takes decided objections to
having the architectural values of
the cradle Of liberty married by an
elevator.
The league voted at it's meeting
in the Old North Church that the
elevator should not be built and so
informed Mayor Curley, who has
the final say in the matter. Incl
dentally, the mayor has been some
what lukewarm on the elevator idea
but did not care to antaRonize the
Ancients single-handed. There will
be no elevator.

RURAL CREDIT BILL
AGREEMENT MADE
Tentative Draft Includes
Chief Features of Three
Other Proposed Laws.

Tentative agreement was reached
committee on rural credits bill
which both Chairman McFadden and
Representati e Wingo of Arkansas.
ranking democrat, said they believed
would be approved by the various
groups in the congressional row
which has attended consideration of
the subject. AS drawn. but subject
TO final vote by the committee, the
bill embraces the Capper and Len
root-Anderson measures. passed by
the Senate. and the Strong bill,
passed by the House.
Concessions are understood to have
been made all around in an effort
to agree on a program which would
command the greatest support in the
House. All three of the measures,
committee members said, were
amended to prevent any possible
overlapping and to remove what
might be construed s legal obstacles
The bill carries the provision of the
Lenroot-Anderson bill creating a sys-
TEN of intermediate credit banks
under supervision of the farm loan
bank system, but amended the sec
lion to limit the capital stock to
G0,000.000. AS passed by the Senate
expansion to sl20.000,000 would have
been authorized.
The intermediate credit banks, al
though under the direction of the
farm loan bank directors. will be in
dependent in so far as their assets and
liabilities are concerned. Their ag-
ricultural paper will be eligible for
discount al federal reserve banks
Chairman McFadden expressed con-
fidence that the provision would not
be further amended.
Acceptance by the committee Of
many provisions of the Lenroot-
Anderson measures, including the in
term ediate credits system, committee
members said. would tend to harmo-
niZe the differences in the House and
permit quick passage of the measure
on Tuesday, when it is expected to
be taken up. Farm bloc leaders,
however, were silent last night, pre-
ferring to have an opportunity to
study the measure before expressing
an opinion on its acceptability.
