Moving Continents

The idea that the continents OF the
world are moving Is embodied In the
"Wegener hypothesis" suggested by
Prof. Alfred Wegener of Austria In
his book. 1.-THE Origin Of Continents
and Oceans" published In 1912. This
theory Is that the continents OF the
world are drifting, the rate OF move
ment being necessarily very slow. and
during recent conferences of scientists
It was decided that certain tests, IN
volving radio, were to be made during
the winter of 1926-1027.

Mixture of Languages

Yiddish has its origin In the migra-
ton Of Jews from Germany into Rus
STA and Poland during the Fifteenth
century. These Jews spoke and wrote
German with facility. But in the Slavic
country they were compelled to learn
a new language. Several centuries
later the descendants Of many OF these
Jews returned to Germany. In each
country the Jews absorbed part Of the
local language which was mingled
freely with the original Hebrew. Yid'
dish has an extensive literature.-Path'

NEW FIRE STATION
 UNDER WAY AGAIN
Two Architects to Submit Plans
 for No. ' House

Two architects will be asked to submit plans for the proposed No. fire station at the office of Chief William J. Noble, so that they may be inspected, it was decided at meeting of the board of fire con- missioners last evening. Architect William II. Mckay, whose plans were rejected under the PaOncssa admin istration and who has now brought to the board a set of plans which he says will make possible the erection Of a building under $26,500. has been asked to submit a set. as has Henry r. LudOrf, another New Brit ain architect.
 The board started from the begin ming. Architect Mckay appeared be- fore the commissioners and exhibited the upstairs floor plan for the pro- posed station, according to his idea. He explained many points in detail and stated that with certain changes made by him. which he showed, the cost of the house would be below $2G,500. Exception was taken to the cost price of several commodi- ties as given by Alr. Mckay, al though he maintained that he could get the cost of the building within the required figure.
 Mckay entered into competition with several other local architects last year when the fire board called for plans for the proposed house His design was chosen from among the group and he was asked to draw up plans and specifications with the proviso that it his building cost within the mark set by appropria- ton a contract would be entered into, but that if it did not come within the figure. there would be no contract.
 When he appeared before the board with his set of plans it was found that the building would cost considerably more than $2G,5Q0, but he stated at that time that he would be able to bring the cost down, After some time the board was dis satisfied with the result and decided that there was no contract. Archi- feet Mckay contondcd that there was q contract and so the matter stood when the Weld administration came into office.
 Last night, after Mckay ,ad eX- p1ained the various changes 10 be made, the board examined all plans submitted by architects. It was suggested that each architect he ask ed to submit plans and specifications, but this was deemed inadvisablc, since all the plans did not appeal to members of the board and it was thought that it would be unfair to ask all of them 10 present specittca- tions, at no little expense, when some of the houses were not ap- proved.
 The discussion resulted in voting 10 have Mr. Ludorf submit his ideas. lis design met with favor among members Of the board and they dc- cided that the proposition should not hn open only 10 Mckay,
 Chief Noble. and Chairman Cor ncIius J. Dchm, were instructed to call upon Mir. I.udorf, suggest c"r- tain changes and then have thc plans and specifications at meeting to he called sometime next week, at which time both .1udorf's and Me- Kay's drawings will be discussed.
 It was voted 10 bill inc town of Turlin for $1Gn for service rendered to that town on two occasions.

Brazil Is Not Expected
 To Insist On Her Demand

Geneva, May 19 LT)-The impress sion prevails in league Of nations cir cles that Brazil probably will not insist on her demands for pernla- ncnt seat on the league council if such action would continue to imperil Germany's entry to league member ship. It is believes in Geneva if the commission decides not to increase the permanent seats beyond that awarded to Germany, Brazil. like Poland and China, will bow to his decision.
 She will not, however, abandon her contention that Brazil is entitled 10 a perpetual chair in the council, which thesis presumably will be pressed at some later favorable mo- mcnt This attitude of Brazil would leave Spain the only obstacle to unanimity in the reorganization of th council.

Protest Removal of
 NiCaraguan Collector

Managua. Nicaragua, May 19 CF -Colonel Clifford D. Ham, American collector general Of customs in Nicaragua, has protested to the state department at Washington over the removal from office by revolutionists of the American collector of customs at Bluefelds, W. J. Crampton and his deputy, A. Peters. The reason given for their removal was the re- fusal to turn over to the revolution ists customs money in their hands collected to secure a private loan obtained in the United States.
 The seizing of custom houses on the Atlantic coast of Nicaragua is in violation of the financial plan of the republic approved by the state de- partment at Washington and of con- tracts between the Nicaraguan gov ernment and corporation Of foreign bondholdcrs for the London loan Of 1909.
