Call It Miraculous

NXTE have worked ourselves into
wv curiously superstitious atti-
tude toward personal intelligence
and its relation to ancestry.
Though admitting that the only
way to produce fast horses is to
breed fast Horses, and though recog-
nizing the scientific value of pedi-
greed COWS, dogs, hogs and sheep,
we. still hirt with the idea that per-
Sonal intelligence is akin to the mir
aculouS, that by some hook or crook
mediocrity may sire genius, but that
by no hook or crook can genius be
depended on to perpetuate itself.
That is one reason why young
people are not more impressed with
eugenics, why they continue to take
useless and avoidable risks in mar
rage, and why they consider a good
time as more important than good
health.
Much of The careless, nonchaIant
attitude toward marriage and
parenthood goes back to the weird
belief that heaven alone decides
whether children hall be nitwits
or superior beings.

Cone

| A VOLCANO is popularity thought
IA of as a mountain. But this is
not correct. A volcano is merely a
assure or crack in the ground
through which molten lava may is
sue from a lower depth.
The mountain-like structure of a
volcano, or cone, as it technically is
called, is the result of past erup-
tons. 1t is formed of lava which
has flowed from the fissure and
later solidif1ed.
In some cases the cone also is
composed to large extent of ma
terial hurled out of the volcano in
the solid state. For in addition to
lava, dust, ash and even large
chunks of rock are frequent prod
ucts Of volcanic eruptions.
At some period in the earth's his
tory, volcanic action must have been
much greater than any now known,
for many volcanoes have gigantic
cones. In many instances. the cones
are more than 10000 feet high.
Many islands really are volcanoes,
either active or extinct. These is
lands are simply gigantic volcanic
cones, grown up from the floor of
the ocean until they finally pro-
truded above the surface of the
water.
In most cases, the cone ends in a
circular depression known as the
crater. This hollow is kept open by
the explosive force of the vapors
rising in the volcano.
When the volcano becomes quies-
cent, however, the crater may be
filled with solidif1ed lava, chunks of
rock crunbling from the walls and
the like. This material, of course,
is likely to be blown out if the vol
cano becomes active again.

Pocket
TINE molten condition of the lava

TINE molten condition of the lava
l. issuing from the interior of a
volcano is proof enough that the in
terror of the earth is at higher
temperature than the surface.
There is, of course, other evil
dence for this belief. The tempera-
allure in mines, for example, rises
with the depth.
Many biologists think that the
center of the earth is so hot that
it would liquify we're it not for the
immense weight of the layers of
rock pressing down upon it.
It is thought that volcanoes start
with the formation of pockets with
in the crust of the earth. These
pockets are thought to be formed
by buckling of the earth's crust.
Such buckling would produce an
arch, lifting the pressure off mate
rial Immediately under the arch.
This material, because of it's high
temperature, then would liquify.
If further movement or buckling
of the earth's crust develops a f1s-
sure or crack, the result is VOL
cano.
Many volcanoes are near the sea
and frequently eruptions consist in
large part Of steam.
This has led to the belief that ex-
plosive eruptions, as contrasted with
the type in which the lava merely
flows gently out of the crater, are
the result of sea water seeping
through cracks in the rocks into the
lava pockets.
This would result in a mixture
of molten lava and steam. An ex-
plosion would occur when the steam
pressure became high enough.

Makes Life Worth While

WE profess to regard children
w born of rich or famous
parents as peculiarly blessed, but
that is little more than lip tribute
to the universal wish for easy
triunphS.
We reserve our greatest applause
for those who make their own way,
who overcome the difficulties of an
adverse environment, and succeed
in spite of fate.
Such attitude Is more or less
essential, because without the phil
osophy it embodies, life would
present bleak and hopeless pros
pect for the great majority.

Volcanoes Are Not Noun
tdins; They Are Merely
FiSSures or Cracks IN the
Ground Through Which
LdUG Nay Issue.

DEEP rumblings and showers Of
II incandescent cinders from the
crater of Mt. vesuyfus indicate that
the volcano may be active this sum-
mer, according to Professor Ales-
sandro Malladra, director Of the
vesuvian Observatory.
The eyes of the world will be
focused on Vesuvius, for volcanoes
have held the attention of mankind
since the beginnings of civilization.
Men have been attracted by the
beauty and grandeur of volcanoes,
they have wcrshiped them as gods
or the homes of gods, and despite
the terrific damage which volcanoes
do on occasion, they have built
farms and cities upon their slopes.
The name volcano seems to have
been applied first to Mt. Etna and
some of the Lipari islands which
are volcanic. The name comes from
Vulcan, the Roman god of fire.
The fiery nature of volcanic OUT
bursts led, at an early date, to the
superstition that the earth's interior
housed a fiery Hades. Later, it gave
rise to the belief that the entire in
terror of the earth was great mass
of molten rock and that the VOL
canoes were hues which tapped this
liquid center.
Today, biologists are certain that
this is not the case. They feel GER
tain that the earth has a solid in
terror more rigid than steel and that
volcanic phenomena have their or
igin at a comparatively small depth
in the earth's crust.

Was the hymn "The Little Brown
Church in the Vale" written about
any particular church?
The Congregational church about
which the hymn was written, is To-

tiful Red Cedar valley in the north
eastern part of the state. It was
built during the Civil war, and still
stands, surrounded by giant pine
trees. DR.. w. S. Pitts, a physician
of Fredericksburg, who helped to
built the church, wrote the hymn.
About 10000 persons visit the
church annually, and great many
marriages are held in it.

Frankness Rewarded

Many reasons have been advanced for the amaz-
ing majority rolled up in New Jersey by Dwight
w. Morrow in his race for United States senator
Among them: Mr.. Morrows success as a diplomat;
his success business man; his education; his
personal charm; that he is father-in-law of
Lindbergh.
Let's not overlook this: In his sane easy
stand language about the prohibition law he upset
the form adopted by the Republican party since the
Eighteenth amendment and the great controversy
started. He was frank He stated what he believed
on a basis of the evidence as he saw it.
He did not equivocate. He did not bury his head
in the sand his party did in the Kansas City
convention of 1928 He did not mouth pretty phrases
about law enforcement and George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln. He accepted situation and gave
his opinion of it.
Nothing has characterized prohibition more than
hypocrisy guf blah and blurb. More than any other
issue in our time it has caused candidates for public
Office to abandon their sef-respect and their inteec-
tual independence.
So when Dwight Morrow simply came out and,
irrespective of political consequences spoke what he
had in mind inviting the public to take him leave
him, the voters were swept with enthusiasm.
1t was the enthusiasm that goes along as tribute
to plain honesty of expression, thing in poll
tics; tribute to a man who dared to call his soul
his own
That phase as much as any contributed to the
overwhelming Morrow victory.

Young Medical Student lsolates
 New Bacteria Type

London, March 14 Pl-The Lan- cet, British medical journal, today announced discovery of what may prove to be the germ of "dissemin- ated sclerosis," a degenerative dis case of the brain and spinal cord.
 The discovery was by Miss kath- leen Chevassut. young pupil of Sir James Purves Stewart, widely known British medical authority. If sub. stantiated. the Lancet believes that it will rank among the foremost achievements of bactcrlolosy.
 Disseminated schlerosis is often responsible for paralysis. It usually steadily progresses, chronic nephritis or tuberculosis frequently develop ing, causing death. Its causes hith- erto have been obscure and its treatment unsatisfactory. The Lan- cet said experiments are being made in treating the disease with vac- cines prepared from cultures of minute bodies which Miss Chevassut discovered.

Hartford March 14-Edward Nc Crackin, 2l Negro, has confessed to assaulting Harry Greenspon in his Pequot street rag shop, according to police. who arrested the youth, d former reformatory inmate and convicted burglar, after an inten- sivc search in the East Side. At first McCracken said he went to the shop on business and only slugged the man after he had insultcd him for being black. Later he changed this story and said he intended to rob Greenspon but became fright ened when he saw blood flowing from the mans lips and fled.
 He also told police that he was interested in the Benjamin Green spou murder case and that he had attended police court when Mack Sutton, alleged killer. had been held for superior court. McCracken at tributed this interest 10 his solici- tude for the under dog.
 A witness who saw McCracken running from the rag shop gave po- lice their first real clue when he picked the boys photo from the rogues gallery.

ATHEISTS CONTINUE
 CLOSING CHURCHES
Seminary Teaches Atheism to
 Women PropaSandists

Moscow, March 14 (UP)-Closing of churches. removal Of bells and burning of ikons continued to be reported from various parts of Rus sia today as atheists carried on their campaign against religion.
 Although the government has warned against coercion and intec- ferins with religious practice, the Goddess movement has not slackeE- cd. Atheists are careful, however, to avoid the appearance of force, and the closing of churches is ..,- ways claimed to be at the desire of local inhabitants.
 Two striking examples were re- ported today. In the Bajenov dts trict, near Sverdlovsk, 12 wagon loads of ikons were burned publicly, all churches were closed and the bells removed. The action was in accordance with a decision of the local congress of collectiyes.
 Close Eleven Churches
 At Tula, eleven churches were closed and the ringing of bells pro- hibited.
 The atheist campaign is being carefully prepared and planned, with d view to defeating religion by a long drive of education and per- suasion, without violence.
 Goddess seminaries will be estan- lished in Moscow, Leningrad and other centers to train thousands 3. propagandists and organizers to con- duct the struggle against religion, atheist leaders revealed. At least half the students at the institutions will be women, because it is con- sidered especially necessary to un- dermine the faith of women, who are at present the principal support CTS of the church. Anti-religious courses also will be included
 In addition to the itinerant Cod less troupes of actors who will pre- sent atheist plays in the provinces, daily atheist newspaper with q minimum circulation of 1,500,000 is planned, Other anti-religous papers and magazines will be published in 17 languages.
 Crematories will be built in the principal cities to combat religious funerals.

Committees Report Is Re- suit of Long Weeks of Legislative Investigation in Legal Code.

London, March 14 Pt-The free dom of completely independent states would be granted to the Dominions of the British Empire under the recommendations made .n a report of the committee of legal experts which will be presented to the imperial conference in October.
 Tho interpretation of laws and regulations governing the legsla- ton of Dominion parliaments as agreed to by the special committee would remove all restrictions by the British parliament as now imposed by law. The Dominions would ba perfect political entities united only by a common allegiance to the crown, and freely associated as members of the British common- wealth of nations"
 The committees report is the re- suit Of long, hard weeks Of legisla- tive investigation. The most brh- liant legal and political minds Of England, Canada.
