ANCIENT RIVER |S
 SHOWN IN FLOODS
Pre.Glacial Stream Uncovered
 by Heavy Rains

New York, Feb. 34. R1The New England floods of last November of- fered at least one demonstration that the glacier which covered parts of the United States thou sands of years ago still exerts an influence on tho people dwelling in those districts. says Arthur D.. Holmes. director of research for the E. L. Patch Company of Stone ham, Mass.
 Discussing the importance of water in modern life. in a paper made public by the American Chemical Society, MT. Holmes as- serts that conditions established in glacial times were responsible for heavy property losses in the flood at Cavendish. Vt.
 When the Black River overflowed its banks 1t washed out the main street of the village. leaving in place of tho thoroughfare a yawn- ing chasm 70 to 100 feet deep and 200 feet wide at the bottom. An inspection of this chasm by a geolosist showed that the street had been directly above the chan nel of a pre-glacial river. Holmes says. and that this channel had been filled with material deposited by the receding ice sheet.
 Ut is claimed by geologists." he continued. "that the land now oc- cupied by the city Of Boston was once submerged by the ice sheet $50 feet below its present level. The glacier slowly moved south ward until it reached the locality now marked by the terminal moraines which extend across Pennsylvania and then in slight ly southward direction across Ohio as far soufh aa Cairo III '"

Fuel and Oil Saving
 Equals Highway Cost

Washington. Feb. .4. Rl-Last year more than 23.o0o.oo0 motor vehicles were responsible for nearly 150 billion vehicle miles of travel in the United States.
 Scientific investigations show that road Improvements have re- suited in tremendous reductions in the costs of operating motor trucks and automobiles. The federal bu- reau of public roads is confident that the saving in fuel and oil and in wear and tear on vehicles Is much more than the annual expen- ditures for improved roads.

HARTFORD'S TRAFFIC PROBLEMS

New Britainites who are conver- sant with traffic conditions in Hart ford are aware that the perennial street congestion is handled to poor advantage in the capital city. Not only do parkers clutter up valuable public highway space with astound- ing freedom. but there seems to be mortal fear of creating one-way streets of such narrow crosstown all leys as are entitled to no other fate. Gaping the climax are the Connecti- cut company trolleys. which use val uable space in the downtown streets for terminal purposes and are so numerous that flocks of the yellow kids are rarely out of sight.
 Now they are talking about doing away with the street car tracks in Asylum street, which would give more parking space to automobiles, or at least give them more space on which to get into each others way. Somebody. too, has suggested . tunnel from Main street to the rail- road depot.
 What they need to start with is 2 more efficient traffic department.

Even the Wall Street Journal. grand party organ par ex- cellence. has done so. That must make it unanimous.

 But the very fact that this Is a favorable year may give him com petition for the nomination.

Nurses of Berlin Must

Berlin, July 20 (UP)-A recently issued decree by supervising nurses at one of Berlin's leading municipal hospitals. forbidding younger nurses in training from wearing bobbed hair or silk and flesh -colored stock ings. has brought protests from most everyone save the nurses them selves.
 The young women affected by the procurement are at the mercy of the supervisors and any organized opposition would mean dismissal.
 However, the Derlinger Tageblatt has come to their aid.
 Perhaps the supervisory nurses imagine that long robes and thick. knitted woolen stockings and old fashioned Gretchen-like hair-braids are bulwarks of morality" The Tageblatt said editorially. lat any rate, this prohibition is rank inter ference in the personal liberty of the nurse and it must be condemned"

PROBABLY NOT MIsoUoTED

Senator Gillette of Massachusetts is thelatest recruit among those who have taken refuge behind the allega- ton of having been "misquoted." The reporter who quoted him spoke to him afterwards and gave him every reasonable opportunity to cla.ity his statements. But the august senator seemed to look down on the Springfield newspapers and tour days later wrote a letter to the New York Times saying he was "misquoted." Then the reporter who wrote up his speech also wrote A letter to the Times, saying he re- tained his notes and that the charge coming from the senator was base less"
