taken because Chevrolet engineers

Capt. David w. Bone, commander Of
the liner Transylvania, that important
changes apparently have taken place in
the ocean depths OF the Newfoundland
Banks, probably due to a recent earth
quake. Determination of such changes,
which frequently occur because Of
earthquakes, IL was said, will form part
of the general program. The phenom-
enon reported by Capt. Bone will be
checked up with the sonic depth finder
by the first Navy craft crossing the area.
That earthquakes profoundly AFFECT
the ocean bottoms long has been known
to Navy photographers. Considerable
work has been done on the dangers 10
navigation from undersea earthquakes,
so that q special section is now devoted
to this subject in all the Nays naviga-
ton text books. The classic case is that
Of the U. S. S. Wateree, which was a,
anchor in 1866 near africa, Chile. It's
tirnbers were shaken by an undersea
earthquake, but the ships officers, not
understanding the significance, re-

bit had been created little farther
to sea. Water in the harbor began TO
drop until the Wateree was left high
and dry on the sand.
Still puzzled, the crew did nothing.
Then. as invariably happens In such
cases, the water came back again in
great tide, which lifted the Wateree
bodily, swept over the shore and de-
posted her in the foothills Of the
Andes. There her remains can be seen
to this day. With such an example
before them, the Navy misses no oppor-
tunity to study the phenomena Of sea
earthquakes.

Mapping the bottom of the seas, it

Office today, now is practical for the
first time by using the sonic depth
finder to make frequent soundings.
From measurements obtained in this
way detail contour maps can be drawn
which are expected to prove Of funda-

soundings have been taken in ship lanes,
especially in regions of shallow water.
but vast extents on the map where
there is no danger of running into
shoals now are lust plain ocean, with
what lies underneath less known than
the surface Of the moon. Such areas
include the entire stretch between the
southern tip of South America and
Africa in the Atlantic and all the Pa
ciflc between the Aleutian Islands and
Hawaii.
Tedious Work of Ships.
Hitherto the ocean bottom contours
have been determined by dropping leads.
This has required that the ship stop
every few miles, so that extensive map
ping would have been quite expensive.
The sonic depth finder, introduced dur
ing the war, enables a ship to take as
many soundings as are desired without
stopping. So, under the program in
augurated by Secretary Adams. every
Navy slip will be equipped with these
instruments and constant SUGGESTIONS of
sounding taken whenever known areas
are left behind.
Although the project has just been
inaugurated, Navy ships already are
hard at work. One craft now is taking
soundings three times day along the
northern route to Japan, an area where
very few depths have been known be-
fore connplete line has been run

GENEVA, September 16.-Lidj An
dargue Nasal of Abyssinia, who de-
scribed himself as a direct descendant
of King Solomon, and the representative
of the only nation in Africa, today
made a plea before the League Of Ma
lions Assembly for the Christian peoples
of the world to lend united aid in bring
ing peace to Palestine.
Speaking in French, in low pitched
voice, NASSAU told the League Assem-
bly's committee on political questions
that he regretted to say the Christian
residents of Palestine were taking sides
in the troubles between the Jaws and
Arabs instead of acting as peace
makers.
He urged Christians in the spirit of
their religion to do everything in their
power to bring the contending groups 10
an amicable settlement. If that were
not done. he called on the League to
exercise its influence to put an end to
the disorders in Palestine. At the same
time he expressed thanks to the British
government for its efforts to restore or
der among the contending peoples with
