EARTH CRUST SHIFT
SEEN AS POSSIBLE
Action of lneIastic Inner Core
May Change Terrain,
Educator Asserts.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, December 2T.-The
earth's crust probably is not dead" and
finished in shape, the American Asso-
citation for the Advancement OF Science
was told last night by DR.. Bailey Willis
of Stanford University.
Instead, even the stable bottom OF
the Atlantic Ocean now may be heat
ing up preparatory to causing land
shifts. The theory is that scores OF
miles down in the rocks that form the
skin of mother earth, great blisters
form, as big as whole States, and that
as they melt the rocks, the resulting
upthrusts make the earth's surface
what 1t is and whatever 1t may change
to.
But there was nothing of possible
human catastrophe in DR.. Willis pic
ture, for he spoke in the new time
concept of science, his changes requir-
ing millions of years. He con1fortingly
named well known places where on the
slow time scale such shifts actually
seem now under way.
Inner Earth Structure.
1--WE know the kind of rock that
underlies the sea-" he said, from
seiSmographs, with aid OF earthquakes
we can sink our plummets more than
1ldl1 way III tLLC ECIltcI Va bllC Col tAAs
We know the velocity at which shocks
travel, the depths at which they pass
through or around the earth, and the
kind of rock they pass through. We
know that the earth is enveloped about
1000 miles thick with elastic rock, be-
low which is core about 1000 miles in
radius, apparently inelastic, very heavy,
probably iron, which may be melted"
The heat that causes blisterS, he
said, probably does not emanate from
the earth'S inner core.
Compression by gravity" he added,
''iS capable of producing all the heat
of which We have evidence, as rocks
heat, the melting tends to extend
laterally faster than upward, thus form
ing blisters-asthenolit we call them.
Conditions favorable to formation of
asthenoliths appear likely to develop
in those layers thirty to six hundred
miles below the earth's surface, and
probably only those within less than
one hundred miles of the surface di-
rectly affect it.
"A blister may grow several hundred
miles across, and be 10 to 20 miles deep,
containing one or more million cubic
miles. The cover eventually breaks
around the margins, where eruptions
follow, and finally the cover falls into
the emptied center.
"A blister requires perhaps several
million years to grow. The complex
structure of each continent corresponds

basins and continents made and finish

liths?
There Is a great deep of Japan, and

many other volcanoes. There Is the
Atacana deep, Off Central Chile, and the
volcanoes that rise In the Andes. There
are many others in the Pacific and
West Indies.

the sun or from the earlier stages OF

they found fossil roots which they
could account for only by comparing
them with mangrove shoots now -four

mangroves didn't exist 100000 years

LOVE SLAYER
JOINS MURDERED
GIRL IN DEATH
Dies After Second Effort at
Suicide in Jail at
Kansas City.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. H.
Glenn Jenkins, 20-year-old waiter,
whose insane love for Miss Marie
Young, 81, led him to stab her with
cheap butcher knife, joined his
sweetheart in death Thursday night,
succu:nbing to injuries received in
his second effort at suicide.
The 'love slayer" who told police
he stabbed the sweetheart because
she asked me to-" lived thirty-siX
hours after he plunged head first
from the second tier of cells at po-
lice headquarters.
Jenkins last words were that he
had killed his sweetheart at the
bidding of strange impulse; Marie
wanted to die, asked him to kill her.
Feared Losing Love
Fear that he might lose the love
of Miss Young because his wages
of $50 a month as waiter would not
finance their marriage, was one of
the theories of police.
Girl crazy" was the explanation
of others who worked on the as
sumption the youth had become
suddenly insanely jealous.
The GOODNESS with which Jenkins
planned the death is puzzling de-
tectives--how he purchased the
butcher knife that ended her life
late Tuesday night, the renting of
motOrcar to take Marie on the fatal
ride, the buying of iodine to end
his own life, and finally the pur-
chase of corn whisky to make him
crazy" Then the ride to the police
station with the body of his bride
to-be.
Evidence of Brutality
The element of brutality crept into
the case today as the investigation
progressed. There was evidence that
Miss Young had made an effort to
escape the blade of the butcher
knife welded by her lover.
A cut in the thumb and marks on
her arms showed signs of a struggle
An indication of a maniacal anger
on the part of Jenkins was seen in
the fact that the girls left arm was
almost severed at the shoulder, and
other wounds.
