ways of less than 16 feet, 76 with
16 foot roadway, 254 with 1s foot
roadway, Alp with 20 foot roadway,
1853 with "a foot roadway, and 4O2
greater than "a feet. Marrow
bridge" warning signs are posted
by the roadside 300 feet in advance
of all bridges of 16 foot roadway or
less.
The report recommends that the
minimum width Of roadway be "a
feet in all bridges built in the
future, on both state and local
roads. This width is recommended
to permit operation of snow plows,
which are coming into use on a
greater mileage of roads each

Center of Earth May Be
Iron, 1000 Miles Thru
Investment in 1,312 Structures in
Trunk System Over $1O,OOO,OOO
Commissioner Says

Bridge building is a large item
in modern highway construction
according to report made public
by c. M. Babcock, commissioner OF
highways. Bridges must be both
wide and strong to handle modern
traffic.
A survey made by the bridge
maintenance division shows that
there are 1872 bridges, costing $1O,-
OO2, ,426, in the Minnesota trunk
highway system. This includes both
bridges built by the state since the
creation of the trunk system in 1921
and bridges built before that date
but still in use on the trunk routes
The report show that:
There is a bridge for every 5.3
miles of trunk highway.
The investment in bridges is L.
429 per mile of highway.
The average cost per linear foot
of bridge is $106.30.
There are 17.8 miles of bridges
in the trunk highway system.
There are COG steel bridges, with
total length of 54,078 feet; 59e
concrete bridges with total length
of 22,7O8 feet; 81 wooden bridges
with total length of 9,295 feet
and 40 railroad overheads with
a length of 8,022 feet.
The oldest bridge in the system
is the covered bridge on T. H. No
SQ Of Z,,uohr0ta TT ia q uO0d an
structure with a Is foot roadway
and a clear span 116 feet long
Aside from being too narrow for
present day traffic, it is still in
good condition.
There has been no failure of a
bridge built by the state. There
have been only nine bridge failures
since the state took over the main
tenance of the system in 1921, all of
them bridges built long ago. Nc
loss of life has occurred in any OF
these failures. In every case the
collapse was due either to an ex
cessive load going over the bridge,
or to vehicles striking the bridge
supports.
Load restrictions are in force on
26 of the older bridges in the system
The load limits range from two to
ten tons, including vehicles. Re.
placement of several of these
bridges is already under way, and
others will be replaced from time
to time.

Bridges Are Very Big

DR.. EmmOns, Minnesota Geologist
Gives Evidence Which Substant-
rates This Theory

Minneapolis, April There is
strong evidence in science that the
interior Of the earth may be prac-
tically solid mass of iron and nickel
except for a space in the very GEN.
ter, about 1000 miles across, which
is probably molten but is iron and
nickel.
This is the view of geologists,
presented before Sigma XII, the
honorary scientific society, by DR..
W. H. Emmons, head of the depart
ment of geology, in recent lecture
at the University of Minnesota.
DR.. Emmons explained that we
know good deal about the outer
most 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 sur
face that reveal what it is like to
depth of ten miles.
The silica compounds in the first
ten miles weigh, on an average,
about 2.65 times as much as water,
he said, but the earth as a whole
weighs by the computation of as
tronomers, something like SIS times
as much as water. By making cor
rected computations, they have
reached the conclusion that the GEN.
trail mass is II times as heavy as
water.
This is one thing that leads them
to conclude that it may be a mass
of iron and nickel.
Another thing is that seismogra-
phic messages recording earth
quakes pass through the inside of
the earth much more rapidly than
they do around it's circumference,
indicating that it is solid. Further
more, there has been no known re-
cording of seismographic 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 it's temperature is ap-
proximately stationary. Beginning
at the surface, the earth gets hotter
by about one degree centigrade for
every 100 feet that it is penetrated,
the same has not yet determined
how far inward this process con-
tinues, nor does it know the heat at
the center of the earth, although
volcanoes, belching molten rock,
give some idea of it's intensity.
The oil-fields of the central Unit
ed States are really pools of oil
perched on the very peaks of a
long range of mountains now en-
bedded beneath the surface of the
level plains, he declared. The site
of Kansas City, at the time when
these mountains rose into the air,
was about as high as Denver is to-
day. The sunken mountain range
runs from the Oklahoma region to
Just outside Omaha. Although oil
has not been found on all of the
peaks, all oil discoveries in that
area have been on peaks, he said.
It has seeped out of ancient de-
posits of the sea and has accumu-
lated on top of salt water pockets
that have also seeped out of ancient
rocks once formed on the bed of
the ocean by process of sedimen-
tation.

ment devotes all his time to regular
inspections of bridges and super
vising repairs. On newer bridges
of the permanent type, maintenance
is confined to floor repairs and
painting of exposed wood and me-
tai. Old bridges frequently require
extensive repairs to keep them in
service until permanent structure
can be built.

AUTHORITIES DOUBT
 MANS CONFESSION
Prisoners Story on Baker Slay-
 ing Vague in Details

Schenectady, \. Y, Nov. l LP,- Police doubted todaX that Harry AL lard, A. was the slayer of Mary Baker in Washington, D. C., on April l.. believing the. confession they said he made yesterday was only an effort 10 stave off going to jail for five years in this state for automobile theft and possibly for five more for having a gun in his cell here. He refused to sign the confession.
 Once before Allard confessed he murdered Harry Nagail in Georgia in 1928, but the authorities decided 10 try him first, as they doubted that Georgia would be able to convict him.
 Gives Vague Details
 He said he killed Miss Baker be- cause she knew of the Nagail staying and had threatened to expose him He did not say how she came to know about the Georgia crime The murder followed a night together in Arlington. police quoted him as say ing, but they said he was uncertain as to where the crime occurred and that he described Miss Bakers auto mobile wrong. They said also that the revolver found in his cell, which he claimed he used to commit the crime, had been passed to him sev- eral days ago by Utica man. Sam Saladino 19. under arrest with a Utica woman, Mary Campbell, 19. both Of whom waived hearings on charges of passing the weapon to Allard.
 A Washington detective sergeant was expected today D check the al- legged confession. which police said followed immediately after Allard learned he likely would fate an ad- ditional five years for having the gun in his cell.
 Recently Herbert Campbell, a Washington real estate broker, was acquitted of the charge of killing the young government clerk.

DISPUTE ON DATE ! MAY UPSET PLANS
Army and Navy Not Likely to Play for Unemployment Fund

New York. Nov. 14 (UP)-Ju $ when it seemed that the Army and Navy finally had agreed to play q football game for unemployment relief, q dispute over the date of the contest threatened today to jeopard- ize the project.
 West Point authorities offered .o play the Navy on Dec. G, and An inapolls authorities replied that as far as they were concerned the game would have to be played Dee. ] 3 or not at all
 Both service acadcl lies, obviously under pressure, agreed to post season game, but neither would yic.l regarding the date Major General " Ii. Smith, superintendent of the military academy, sent telegram 10 Rear Admiral & S. Robison, su- perintendent of the Naval academy, accepting what he professed to con- slider a Navy proposal for a gams Dec. 6. Admiral Robison immedi- ately replied that he had not con- sldered Dec. $, since the Navy was scheduled to meet the University Of Pennsylvania on that date,
 With both superintendents pro- 1essing a willingness to arrange the game, which would provide nearly half million dollars for unemploy- ment relief, the impassc regarding the date Of the proposed contest re- mained the only barrier. General smith declared last night that the Army could not play the Navy on Dec. 13 because of examinations at West Point, and because the ground would be frozen. Admiral Robison countered with the suggestion that the Naval academy also had exam nations scheduled for the seconJ week in December which the au- thorities at Annapolis were willing to postpone for a worthy cause. The admiral also suggested that a foot ball field suitable for the contest could be kept in shape until Dec. 13.
 There the matter rested with q suspicion growing among football fans and those interested in pro- noting the game for unemployment relief that neither service academy was particularly anxious to play the other. Down at Annapolis, the au- thoritios confessed to q belief thac the Army was blutfing and had pick ed a date arbitrarily on which the Navy obviously could not play. At West Point. it was said that the game might not be desirable, since it probably would turn out to be q rough and tumble affair.
 The Army's proposal for q game on Dec. G was made in response 70 newspaper reports for which the Navy denied all responsibility. The tMiddies have q game scheduled with the |. of r. on Dec. 6, and that contest was arranged with the dis ttlnct understanding that it Woull not he cancelled by either side It is Penn's big game of the year, and already many tickets have been sold for the affair. Moreover, Mayor James ,J. Walker and q committee of sports writers had arranged to have Colgate play New York Uni yersity here on Dec. 6.
 | Unless ono service academy or the other yields on the matter of date for the proposed charity game. it seems unlikely that they will meet.
