VAST GRAZING AREA
is u IN BRAZIL

RIO DE JANE1RO, April 13.-R
Gen. Candida Mariana Rondon,
famous Brazilian explorer and COM
panion Of Roosevelt, has returned
to Rio de Janeiro after six months
exploration and boundary-making
in northern Brazil.
He reports the discovery Of a
vast plain 10000 square miles in
area with an average temperature
OF SO degrees Fahrenheit, along
the boundary of Dutch Guinea.
This Is a most wonderful coun-
try" General Rondon said. ut Is
perfect grazing land in a perfect
climate. Indians there differ
wholly from those farther south.
Although they are born and live
nearer the equator than most In
dams in Brazil, they have wonder
full physiques."
Several explorers have stepped
into the Campos Geraes before but
no n has ever gone to the Guinea
border except General Rondon.
The "campos" we're discovered In
1876 by Padre Nicolino de Souza.

HARDY H~ACKBERRIES
FLOURISHED LONG AGO

PITTSBURGH, April 13.-LP-
Fossil seeds found in Phillips coun-
ty Kansas, more than 20 years ago.
have been identified as blackberry
seeds 5000, 900 years old.
The seeds were found among the
bones of a rhinoceros classified as
roaming the American plains that
long ago. For years the seeds and
the bones have been in Carnegie
museum here. Recently Betty Watts
Brooks, head Of the department Of
botany Of the Pennsylvania college
for women, has been studying the
seeds in a search for causes Of ar
rested vegetation in Pennsylvania.
It was her work which identified
them.

INTERCHANGEABLE, mayhaps a place
in Who's Who" and some dia-
rnond-studded cuff links-in other
words, if you aspire to live the life
and become a real 14-carat million
aire-then my boy don't go west.
Move into a skyscraper instead.
Otherwise it's just too bad, and
isn't in the cards for you to win,
says Harry w. Solomon, vice presi-
dent in charge of property manage
ment for a bond house throughout
the Middle West.
Solomon, who has a penchant for
ferreting out such facts, is authority
for the statement that 81 per cent
of the men in the United States
whose fortunes can be written in
terms of seven figures and more,
almost without exception have their
offices in lofty buildings.
Millionaire's Survey
He bases this information on q
recent survey of Is principal cities,
showing that the big boys with the
bucks, financiers, sugar papas, but
ter and egg kings, and what have
you, all have their business settings
far above the pavement. In fact,
Solomon was unable to find a single
instance Of a bona fide millionaire
housed In q shack Of les than is
floors.
From this 1t must be adduced as
more than a mere coincidence" he
says, that environment plays as big
a part in the growth of men. A
towering building Of stone and steel
is the natural citadel of success.
The skyscraper exemplifies the very
soul of big business. 1t Is the in
spiration to build solidly and well.
And, psychologically, the effect of
towering buildings is to Undue their
occupants with the desire to do big
things. This. I believe. is largely
responsible for at least a part of
Americas phenomenal success as a
business nation. The skyscraper
supplied the suggestion. 1t must be
given credit.
"Just to be in a big building Is an
inspiration to most men. And the
figures of success prove 1t. with pos
sible exceptions only confirming the
rule"
And 1t was In a skyscraper that
Solomon got his own start when he
Joined his company as its first office
boy, 10 years ego. To the skyscraper
he attributes the urge and inspira-
ton which since has carried him to
control over more than $50,000,000
worth of property. So you see!

ROADS WIDEN
DUE TO FEAR
Many Drivers Feel Unsafe

WASHINGTON, April 13.-tP-
The motorist who instinctively hugs
1.-The center Of the road because he
Gears running into q ditch is forcing
ighway engineers to make their
IDS 20 feet wide.
Jrivers sacrifice clearance be-
tween thei rown and passing We
hicles rather than drive close to
the edge, experts Of the bureau of
public roads say. When drivers are
asked how close to the edge of
the road they feel 1t is safe to drive,
they usually estimate the distance
to be a few inches, but when they
sit behind the steering wheel, the
fw inches bcomeS from ! IL feet
to 4 feet.
Truck drivers do not fear the edge
OF the road as much as motorists
who pilot passenger cars, these
highway experts say. The average
truck driver prefers to keep about
III foot from the edge of the road.
TheeS facts were learned by the
engineers after observing thousands
of automobiles run yer certain Sec
tons of highways marked for tests.
They marked off the pavements
in one-foot sections and watched
the rear wheels Of each passing We
hicle, recording the action of the
motorist as he started down a grade,
turned a curve or drove on straight
level road.
The engineers say that their OBJ
ServationS prove highways narrower
than Is feet to be decidedly made
quate for safe driving, since they
provide no clearance for passenger
q r or trucks operating in their
usual paths. The 20-foot width
gives ample clearance for trucks
and is not excessive for automobiles.
In rounding horizontal curves,
traffic shifts toward the inside edge
but trucks shift their courses to-
ward the inside less than passenger
vehicles. The engineers have learned
that unless the pavement is wild
ened on the curves, the normal
straight road clearance between the
two lines of traffic is reduced to a
danger point.
The useful width Of a pavement
Is often considerably less than its
apparent width. On straight roads,
as well as on curves. the outer foot
of the surfaced section is sometimes
totally ineffective because of a bad
shoulder. A closely set guarded rail,
a steep crown, or a bad gutter will
cause the driver instinctiveiy to seek
the center Of the road.
Smooth, white concrete shoulders
at the edge of the black surface
seem to lure the traffic toward the
ra,de, the experts say. Center lines

SCHOOL HEADS

IMPRACT|CABLE
Committee, Meeting Behind
Closed Doors, Passes Buck
to Board Of Education

The rules committee of the Board
of Education again failed to act on
the proposed amendment to the rules
providing for the Withholding of
diplomas from students found guilty
Of offensive department and general
uncleanliness of person. during
two-hour discussion behind closed
doors yesterday afternoon in the
Franklin Building.
The meeting, held secretly in
evasion of the organic school law
which calls for the holding of such
meetings openly, was a failure as
far as proponents of the proposed
rule are concerned.
NO ACTION TAKEN
Principals of the several graded,
junior and senior high schools, who
were invited to participate in the
discussion, are believed to have
disagreed on the practicability Of
the rule.
At any rate, no action will be
taken on the proposed amendment
until after the regular board meet
Ing next Wednesday, at which time
the date for another meeting of the
rules committee will be set.
Mrs. Philip Sidney Smith is spon-
sor of the proposed rule. introduced
before the board last spring.
RULE is SEVERE
1t provides that the Board of Edu-
cation may order the withholding Of
the diploma earned by any student
providing the student has been found
guilty of immoral conduct. pointed
opposition to authority. habitual tar
diness. untruthfulness, unauthorized
absence and uncleauly condition Of
clothes or person.
The rule, If adopted, would become
the most severe Of the many govern.
ing student control and pointed op.
position already has arisen against
its adoption.
Under it the diploma Of any stu.
dent could be withheld at graduation
for the most trivial of school Of
fenses, such as cutting a class" or
reporting late.
