DISCOVER BRIDGE
$4,000 YEARS OLD

LONDON, Sept. 19.-What is de-
scribed ais the most important find
of recent years is reported at
Koerde, near Dortmund, Germany.
It is a perfectly preserved wooden
footbridge which was obviously used
to enable the men Of the ice age
to cross the marshy river bed.
Professor C. Nagel estimates the
age of the bridge about $4,000 years.
He says the high technical skill
and intelligence displayed in its
making must lead archaeologists to
revise their judgment of prehistoric
mems capacity.
The bridge, about forty yards
long, consists of split and care
fully planed oak planks fastened
with oaken clurnps at intervals Of

nese prominent in the councils OF
the Christian churches in China.
Already Chinese Christian lead
ers have started a movement for
the formation Of the Chinese
Christian Union in Shanghai and
similar organizations will be formed
elsewhere throughout the country.
The basic creed of the unions will
be that the religious liberty OF the
Chinese Christian church must be

The action Of the Christian lead.
ers is directly due to the Marking
Road student riots. It was felt that
the Chinese Church must express
itself in this matter freely and with
out the inhibitinR forces which for

economic questions in China.
Aim TO Limit Work
The Christian Union also feels
that the future role Of foreign
mission organizations shall be that

Christian Church. helping it in it's
naturalization progress rather than
being the dominant factor in the
Christian movement.
Foreign missionary organizations
operating in China have for some
years been planning a program Of
gradually turning over control to
their Chinese workers, but it is
more than likely that the present
movement will hasten to a great
extent the naturalization Of Chris
tian church organizations in China.
The church riots have presented
the missionaries with one Of the
gravest problems which they have
encountered in years. Long before
the Marking road riots, a violent
ti-Christian campaign was being
conducted among Chinese through.

CONCRETE GAS PIPES?
Inventor Finds Substitute For
Cast Iron--- May Lower
Cost,

Ever Increasing demands for gas
service have prompted experimental
research directed toward finding a
substitute for the familiar cast-iron
mains, says the New Jersey Public
Utility Information Committee.
Now comes an inventor with new
kind of main, which, if tests show it
successful, will reduce considerably
the cost of pipe construction.
The new pipe is made of layers Of
Portland cement mixed with asbestos
fiber, welded into a compact mass and
strong enough to withstand pres
sure of 300 pounds to the square inch
A coating of ''water glass" sill
cate solution, makes the pipe com
pletely gas-tight.
Among the advantages of the new
fiber pipe over the cast-iron main are
the following: First, low cost; sec.
ond, immunity from stray electric
currents, which sometimes cause pit
ting and corrosion in the iron pipes .
third, decreased susceptibility to cold,
so that fiber pipes need not be laid
as deeply as iron mains; fourth,
lightness and ease of transportation,
for the new pipe weighs only one-half
as much as iron, and fifth, the fiber
pipe can be drilled, screwed and sawed
like wood.

WATER EXPERTS LOOK

The sound of a leaking water

much alike that water inspectors,
listening with modern testing equip
ment, can be deceived.
This Is what happened near Phila-
delphia the other day when water
company employees, using an aqua
phone, a device for locating leaks,
distinctly heard what the men be-
lieved to be running water.
There was a humming noise and
then an orchestral melody. Curl
ously, the men continued their In
vestigation and discovered, instead
of serious leak, a ground wire

Only twenty states require actuai
banking experience varying from one
to five years.
Powers OF Bank Commissioners
In the majority OF states, the Bank
Commissioner is given moro or less
power to approve or deny appllca'
tions for charters OF state banks.
Clearly this authority should be eX
ercised chiefly with a view 10 supply
ing each community with safe, ade-
quate banking facilities. Hence the
importance OF carefully weighing all
factors involved such as the character
and responsibility of the organizers
| and the community's needs for bank
! ing facilities. In the very nature OF
things no one is so well qualified to
pass on charter questions as the Bank
! Commissioner. Comments from all
states favor granting the banking de-
partment large If not absolute Jurls-
diction in granting bank charters.
A number OF states now confer
more or less complete authority on
the state banking department to act
as receiver in liquidating failed banks,
usually providing that the Bank COM
missioner must file report with the
court for approval. In other states
the court names a receiver ana tne
Rank Commissioner thereafter has no
Jurisdiction or authority. The almost
unanimous opinion Of bankers and
the Bank Commissioners Is tha'
authority should be placed IN the
banking department as it permits the
, employment of experienced bauk al
, ministrators in winding up the ahair'
, NJ a bank, is more expedient, eco
! nomical and altogether more satisfac
;. tory.
