annul the decree.
"T am making no change in my plans
until / have complete and definite con-
nrmation from Prince Chakkir," she
said. The report that he had divorced
me on three weeks notice may have
been untrue, or it may be that the
prince has repented and found that the
Turkish courts are as speedy IN an
nuiling DEGREES as in granting them"

BORAH PAINTING
 ON PROHIBITION
D em a nds Both Parties Have Plank on En-
 forcement of Law

WASHINGTON, March 29--Re- newing the demand that the Re publican and Democratic National Conventions take definite stand for enforcement of Prohibition, Senator William F. Borah, in a radio address last night, declared there was a plan among certain powerful influences of both par ties to avoid issues and to with hold from voters vote upon the question. If avoiding issues in a campaign is all there is to it, it would not be serious but the same influences which make a political party spineless. makes an admin istration indifferent. and the same influences which frighten parties into silence will frighten an ad- ministration into neutrality, then that is all those who are opposed to the law expect or demand.'

 IN GEOLOGIC WORK

culiarly expressive of increments in civilization. The contrast be- tween mining and agriculture is significant in two respects. In the first place, with reference to demand, one generation requires about as much food per capita as another. but it's requirements in the stuff that civilization feeds on--metals. fuels and building ma terials-change with every discov- cry and invention. In the second place, with reference to supply, mining is q process of depletion, whereas agriculture harvests an- nual crops.
 There are two and only two ways of adding to the country's available mineral assets--by get ting larger recovery from known deposits and by finding new de- posits. To keep up the pace al- ready set by the demands of civi- lization today-not to mention the demands of tomorrow-we need to apply to our task more and bet- ter technology and more and bot ter geology" :.

 Federal agencies. however, are unable at present. he feels, to provide an adequate national pro gram of geologic work specifical- ly planned to aid mining. Laying the situation before the mines and mining committee of the senate. he pointed out that, while the vol ume of mineral output had in- creased 40 percent since 1919. fed eral funds for geologic work had been reduced. The 1919 appro- priations amounted to less than one one-hundredth of one percent of the value of the years produc- ton.
