THEORY FLUNAR CRATERS
By GARRETT P. SERVISS

The resemblance between the huge
craters formed by the explosion of
great shells in France during the
war and the so-called volcanic
craters on the moon has revived,
with additions, an old theory which
ascribed the formation of the lunar
craters to the downfall in some
long-past age Of great number of
meteorites Of enormous size. Gil
bert of the L. S. Geological Survey,
strongly advocated this theory
thirty years ago.
1t has even been suggested that
the moon was once surrounded by
meteoric rings resembling those of
Saturn, and that these rings were
destroyed by the periodical falling
Of their components upon the moon,
, a process similar to that which
some have thought may be causing
the gradual disappearance of the
rings of Saturn.
The characteristic form of a moon
crater is that Of an elevated ring
raised above the the general level
of the lunar crust, and cncircling
a depression that sinks farther
below the crust than the middle Of
this roughly circular depression
emerges an irregular mass bearing
considerable resemblance to the vol
canic nipple sometimes formed on
the sunken floor Of the crater Of
VcsuVius during the quicsccnt
period following a great eruption.
According to the volcanic theory
Of the lunar cratcrs, these relatively
small central elevations, which
never attain the height Of the vast
surrounding wall, were formed, like
the nipples in Vcsuvius, by a slight
outbreak of valcanic force occurring
after the main explosion that threw
up the greater outer ring. But there
is fundamental difference between
the lunar cratcrs and those Of ter
rcstrial volcanoes, in that the
former are cavities or sink-holcs
surrounded By elevated rings, where.
as the terrestrial cratcrs arc formed
On the SUBMITS, or high on the
flanks of mountainous masses con-
sisting Of material elected by the
volcano, and gradually piled higher
BY successive eruptions.
On the other hand, the lunar
cratcrs are strikingly like the
cratcrs formed by the INT shells
in France, where the earth thrown
into the mir by the explosions on

More Time toImprove
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

An authority on Home Econom-
les, speaking in Chicago recently
predicted that the next step in the
emancipation of the housewife would
be phoning out for food already pre-
pared for to meals.
On the heels of this prediction
comes the announcement that New
York organization, based on the
solid foundation of experience in
operDing twenty-eight restaurants,
feeding over two hundred thousand
people day, has opened such
store where cooked foods can be
taken home.
This announcement brings an in
terestins train Of thoughts.
During the past ten years the
number Of restaurants in New York
has doubled. The habit of dining
out has increased each year. Six
million meals are served day, it
is estimated.
The old-fashioned prejudice
against anything but home cooking
has largely eyaporated. The same
prejudice existed once against bakery
bread. Yet now the use of bakery
bread is practically universal. And
undoubtedly it gives a higher per-
centage of wholesome loavcs than
the often incxpert. haphazard home
baking Of former times.
BY specialization we should even
tually have better, more digestible
and healthful foods. prepared by ex-
perts, than even mother used to

to live and the "whyness" of things,
so, in turn, she may teach her chill

the apex of great social triangle.
Reaching out from her is an ever
widening group Of persons who will
look back in joy or sorrow to their
progenitor.
1t is the duty OF every boy and
girl TO cultivate health and physical
yigor. They owe this not only 10
themselves, hut to generations yet
unborn. 1t is a responsible under

1t may be true that the number
Of college graduates is growing
year by year. and that a constant
ly increasing number Of business
men can boast Of college cducations,
but the fact remains in spite Of this
that 10 some a college education is
not essential to success. This is
attested by the fact that a large
number Of top-notcbers got, their
degrees in the old University of

One Of the most prominent bank

first job with the firm Of y. W.
Harris & Company, in Winnctka,
Illinois.
Later, when this firm was reor-
ganized into the Harris Trust d
Savings Banks he remained with it,
rising gradually until he was placed
in the post Of treasurer, and then,
a couple Of years later was made
a director and a member Of the
executive committee.
Another four years saw him in
the post Of the vice presidency,
and another dozen years the presi-
dent Of the institution, a position

no more necessary for individuals
to do all their cooking than for them
to make their own clothes or shoes
or build their houses.
On the whole thers seems much 10
recommend this new plan. 1t seems
like the next logical step in the
turn of things in he last two de
cades.
In the old days the housewife
baked bread, washed. made clothes
and hats, took care of the children
and clc;tled house.
Her time and thoughts were COM
, pletely taken up from morning I'M
til night. 49,.
Modern home conyeniences, the
universal use of bakery bread, laun-
dry service, milliners. nurses and
maids have relieved her Of much Of
the drudgery of routine.
Her leisure time has steadily in
creased.
Yhe result has been the New
Woman.
She has had time to think more.
She has become interested in
things outside her own yard and
neighborhood. Size has assumed
greater responsibility and interest
in state and world affairs.
Anything which relieves people of
the pressure of mental tasks and
gives them more opportunity TO de-
velop their personalities is to be
commended,
And this next step seems to be
il that direction.

Weather Changes and
Texas Agriculture

|ffT makes almost shudder to think how very
i dependent we weather conditions which we
= take for granted and which at any time may be
taken away, observes Roger W. Babson in summarizing
facts brought out at recent conference of weather
experts.
The DETECTION of the Humboldt current brought
about great climatic changes the west coast of South
America causing that arid territory to blossom under
the first rainfall in so years.
This climatic change which one is likely to believe
would prove unmtgated blessing, economically
disastrous, Mr.. Babson explains Much harm done
to the guano industry of Chile which dependent dry
weather One hundred thousand houses constructed for
dry weather conditions, washed away.
"a slight shifting of the Gulf Stream, he observes
"could make winter resort out of New England and
summer resort out of Florda!
After citing the great crop failure of the 9Os, he
sounds pessimistic note:
To-day ass there not such drastic crop failures.
The farmers of the West attribute this to their ability in
diversfying their crops and using modern methods OF
agriculture. It. however, is great question whether
the improved conditions of today due to dversi
cation and better agriculture whether they due
to weather changes If the better conditions of today
due to better weather, there is very good posi-
blity that We may again come to period when the
crops of the entire Central West wiped out was
the generation ago.
".* There is no reason why catastrophes can not
happen in the future they have in the past and this
especially applies to great fundamental changes both
to rainfall and temperature"
He advises business men and investors to be pre-
pared for losses in any industry community which
dependent continuation of the same weather con-
ditions have existed for years. to be prepared for
crop failures in sections where crops have been bount
full for many years and for bounul crops in sections
which have been considered poor and arid " and to
courage and keep in touch with the science of long dis
lance forecasting.
Barring the advent of another age or some cata-
cysmc change affecting the continent the unexpected
can not happen in Texas. Texas farmers (outsde of
the areas now under rrigaon) expect both dry years
and wet years. Wet years welcomed and dry years
are not feared they because the farmers
have learned to employ dversfcaton and the methods
Of dry land farming.
Large areas in Texas are now being made independ-
ent of rainfall Tens of thousands of farmers in Texas
are tling land where precipitation is light and
where every is expected to be dry year If there
were reversal of conditions in Chile irrigation
would be suspended while rainfall was available and
agriculture would not suffer.
Not even severely cold winter can daze Texas
agriculture.
Fair weather is the rule in South and Southwest
Texas, but farmers and business always pre-
pared for exceptional days.

Nearly $80,000,000 was collected
from the motorist in the form of gaso-
line taxes in the year 1924 and was
used or is available very largely for
road maintenance and construction ac-
cording to the bureau of public roads
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. Thirty-fve of the 48
states and the District of Columbia
imposed a tax, the rate ranging from
one to three cents per gallon in all
states except Arkansas, which levied a
four-cent tax.
The total amount collected during
the year was $79,734.4 400, and of this
amount $4S, 1876 was made available
for road construction and maintenance
under the supervision of the state high
way departments A large share of the
remainder was turned over to county
and local road funds. In a few states
portion is turned over to general
funds, school funds, and for miscel-
laneous purposes.
Although IS states impose a gaso-
line tax, It affects only about half of
the motor vehicles, since several Of
the states which do not impose a tax
have large registrations. The amount
paid annually by the average motor
list where the tax is collected is 5000

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never

Applicants for Insurance
Often Rejected

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re
jected is because kidney trouble is go
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
However. if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

sample bottle. When writing be sure

Most Serious Accidents
At Railroad Crossings

Probably more serious accidents oc-
cur among motorists at railroad cross
ings than at any other points in the
highways, hardly a day passing that
does not see two or three accidents of
this kind chronicled in the press. These
accidents have become so frequent
and serious that they furnish most
potential argument in favor of the
adjustment of grade crossings. In the
light of all this, it behooves the motor
list to know just what is expected of
him by the law at points of this kind.
From the cases reviewed, it would
seem that the courts have placed the
duty to stop, look and listen at rail-
road crossings squarely upon the mo-
torist. He cannot hope to recover for
injury received at points of this kind
unless he can show entire freedom
from contributory negligence.
And in exercising the required care
he must of necessity take into consid-
Grafton the physical surroundings Of
the particular place, such as trees,
houses, etc, that may ohstruct his
view. If the surroundings demand it,
he must not only stop, look and listen,
but should get out of his machine and
walk ahead to make certain the way is
clear. Unless he takes these precau-
lions the probabilities are he will not
be free from an imputation Of negli-
gence that will seriously interfere with
his right of recovery in case of acci-
dent
