Work

Boston, Aug. II. R-The Coast
Guard vessel Marion. on a two
months tour of duty to study ice
movements from Greenland to the
shipping lanes. faces almost ideal
conditions.
According to word received from
Lieut.. Comm. Donald B. Macmillan.
now engaged in exploration and
research in the Labrador, this is a
most unusual year along the Labra-
dor coast.
There Is practically no field ice,
in spite Of much easterly wind this
spring. Although the Strait of
Belle Isle Is in the same latitude
as the English Channel. it is ice
choked the greater part of the year
from effects of the Labrador cur
rent and the extreme fluctuations
of the eastern North American eli
mate.
The absence of field ice should
be particularly helpful to the 125-
foot steel patrol boat. for her twin
propellers are close to the surface
of the water.
Beyond Belle Isle the Marjon's
meteorological observations begin
In earnest. together with studies
OF currents, depths and obserya-
ton of ice conditions. At this
point she leaves the beaten track
OF navigation and enters upon wa
tiers familiar only to old whalers,
occasional cod and haddock fisher
men and an explorer now and then.

OUTPUT CONTROL

New York, Aug. II. R-Pug-
nosed tankers. ferrying petroleum
from Venezuela to American ports
in quantity and at a cost SO low as
to cause a reduction in bunker oil
prices. apparently have awakened
mid-continent oil producers to The
realization that restriction of pro-
duction on a purely local basis is
not always advantageous.
Efforts sponsored by mid-con-
tinent producers now are under way
looking to d conference of oil ex-
ecutives to consider means of cur
failing overproduction over a wide
area. Venezuela seems to be the
first objective, but program pro-
viding for control of output around
the world probably will be consid-
cred.
Venezuela and Colombia are now
the sore spots" in the petroleum
industry, replacing the Seminole
field in that role. Not only Is
bunker oil availab at low cost
from the newly-developed fields.
but oil menssay an excellent grade
of gasoline is obtained by the

She had five children of which four

The place is now occupied by Mr..

Mrs. Hague recalled the time when
her father started the business of

factory being located in Spoonyille,
While in the business the Rogers

law, cooperation between state
governments and producing compa-
MES through conservation and cor
poration commissions has made
some restriction of production pos
sible. Whatever benefit to earnings
has accrued from attempting to
balance production with demand,
however, was to a Segree offset by
the sudden increase in the Vene-
zuela output.
Sponsors of the new curtailment
program seem to have encountered
difficulty in bringing oil executives
together. not only because of wide
difference of opinion, but also due
to the fact that many are on vaca-
ton. Within the next few weeks,
however. it is hoped to gather 4
number sufficient to prepare a pre-
liminary program which will attract
the support OF the industry gener-

WORKS 50 YEARS
ON AN ALPHABET
Scientist Seeks to Perfect Uni.
Yersal One

St. Paul, Aug. II. P-After thir
ty years of effort St. Paul scien.
fist and writer has perfected an al.
phabet for universal useage.
DR.. Arvid Reuterdahl hopes that
his twenty-six symbols can replace
the $50 alphabets which the world
now uses to record it's seve&4I
times that number of languages.
The scientist. however, evolved
the alphabet primarily to provide
science with an international meth
cd of communication and common
system of expression for the preser-
walton Of classics.
In working out the series, DIR.
Reuterdahl determined that the
symbols must be Of uniform height,
that capitals should have the same
form as corresponding small let
tiers with some simple means of
distinguishing them as capitals.
Forms should be so unmistakable
that special signs indicating shades
of pronunciation could be incor-
porated without obscuring the
meaning, he reasoned.
AS a result, capital letters are
like small letters. except for short
appendages extending upward from
the tops of the symbols. The basic
units may be combined to meet any
phonetic need of any language.
Adoption of universal language
might we'll be the result of such
an alphabet, the writer thinks,
Grouping of sound characters In
his series OF symbols includes
known sounds for which alphabetic
signs exist in English. Russian,
Greek. Arabic, Turkish, Monaghan,
Persian, Syrian, Korean and other
languages, he says.
DR.. Reuterdahl, who has been ac-
tive in directing the International
Theistic society, completed devel-
opment Of the new set Of symbols
while making a special study of
languages.

Mud Balls Formed as

washington, Aug. IL. Up Mud
rain drops, similar in formation to
hailstones, are described in re-
port received by the Geological Sur
Vey OF the Department of the In
terror from DR.. r. b. Hodges in
charge of the Hawaiian Volcano
Observatory.
The mud balls DR.. Hodges said.
are extremely hard and formed in
layers. 1t is believed they are pro-
dnced by rain drops falling through
dust-laden atmosphere and collect
ing so much dust that they fall az
mud pellets. They vary somewhat
IN size, the largest being compare.
Bile to a marble or large pea,
DR.. Hodges says that although
they are probably concomitant OF
every great volcanic eruption in
any part OF the world where dust
with large quantities of water va
por is being elected, the references
to their occurrence in literature
are remarkably few.

Mrs. Hague cannot in any way com.

Yes and no. When the question was
asked OF her, broad smile greeted
her interviewer and for a moment
she would not say anything. Finally
she said that most anybody can
reach the same age. providing their
health is not impaired and they did
what was right. As to herself. she
stated that she always did as she
pleased and pitied those who didn't
go according to their own dictates.

anything wrong, leading a quiet

what she begins.
