A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
BY :. W. StrauS

You can do more than strike while
the iron is hot: you can make the iron
hot by striking" Thus the philoso-
pher, Cotton, epitomiZed a great les
son in personal progress 1t was in
much the same spirit that Napoleon
is said to have exclaimed upon an oc-
casion 10 one of his generals. Cir
-cumSTancesp ] make circumstances, -
One of the great values of thrift ~
that it enables US to take advantage
of opportunities for self-advancement
when they are available But a still
deeper value comes through the crea-
tion of opportunity. Fortified by thrift
one often may force the issue with
fate rather than wait patiently for
opportunity TO come knocking at the
door
The great difference between the
thrifty and the thriftless man is that
the former is always sure of his des-
tiny-his star is continually in the
ascendency while the other irrevoca-
bly, is marked for failure.
Lafontaine's great fable of the
grasshopper and the ant contains a
depth of meaning for all of US When
skies are clear and the sun is shin
ing We may get along very we'll with
out provision for the future but when
adversely and hard times come. the
foresight and providence Of the ant
prove their worth
Thrift is essential TO progress
whether our pathway leads To adver-
7Sity or opportunity. If disaster awaits
Us we shall need the material re-
sources and the strength of character
which are ours through thrift II we
are more fortunate we shall be able
20 take advantage of favorable op-
portunities when they come or create
them for our own uses.
Through thrift We overcome adver-
sity, create opportunity. conquer 6es-

Center of Earth
May Be Iron Ball
Minnesota GeoIogist Gipes Er7-
dence of Metallic World, Molten
IN Middle 1000 Miles.

There is strong evidence in science
that the interior of the earth may be
practically solid mass of iron and
nickel except for a space in the very
center, about 1,060 miles across,
which is probably molten but is iron
and nickel
This is the view of biologists, pre-
scented before Sigma XII, the honorary
scientific society, by DR.. W. H. En-
mons. head of the department of ge-
ology, in a recent lecture at the Uni
versiry of Minnesota.
Dr.. Emmons explained that We
know a good deal about the outermost
ten miles of the earth's crust, which
Is mostly silicious material. Although
man has never gone down anything
like ten miles. he has seen folds in
the earth's surface that reveal what
il Is like TO depth of ten miles.
TIE SILICA compounds in the first
ten miles weigh, on an average, about
o.65 times as much as water, he said,
but the earth as a whole weighs by
the computation of astronomers, some
thing like 90 times as much as wa
ter. BY making corrected computa-
lions, they have reached the conclu-
sion that the central mass is II times
as heavy as water.
This is one thing that leads them
to conclude that il may be a mass OF
iron and nickel.
Another thing is that seismographic
messages recording earthquakes pass
through the inside of the earth much
more rapidly than they do around its
circumference, indicating that il is
solid Furthermore, there has been
no known recording of a seismo-
graphic message directly through the
center of the earth. This supports
the theory that the mass at the very
center is probably still liquid.
The earth is slowly cooling from
the center. but is so constantly re-
ceiving increments of heat from the
sun that its temperature is approx
mately stationary. Beginning at the
surface, the earth gets hotter by
about one degree centigrade for every
100 feet that it is penetrated, the same
as one degree fahrenheit for every 60
feet. But, he explained, science has
not yet determined how far inward
this process continues, nor does il
know the heat at the center of the
earth, although volcanoes, belchins
molten rock, give some idea of its in
tensiry
The oil-fields of the central United
States are really pools of oil perched
on the very peaks of a long range of
mountains now embedded beneath the
surface of the level plains. he de-
clared. The site of Kansas City, at
the time when these mountains rose
into the air, was about as high as
Denver is today. The sunken noun
tain range runs from the Oklahoma
region TO just outside Omaha. AL
though oil has not been found on all
of the peaks, all oil discoveries in
that area have been on peaks, he said.
1t has seeped out of ancient deposits
of the sea and has accumulated on
top of salt water pockets that have
also seeped out of ancient rocks once
formed on the bed of the ocean by a
process of standardization
