ONE OF THE MOST ex.
traordinary gaps in scientific
knowledge is our appalling ig-
norance regarding the interior
of the earth.
Beneath our feet lies an un-
known region. Is the earth a
ball as rigid as steel? Does it
undergo periodical expansions
and contractionS, causing an
alteration in our time? Is it
a great ball Of molten lava, COW
cred with a comparatively thin
crust of metallic mass?
The miner has been digging
deeper and deeper into the
bowels Of the earth. But he has
learned little or nothing which
enables us to determine the
actual nature of the earth's in
terror.
We know little or nothing Of
any great Importance beyond a
distance from the earth'S sur
face. inward. of about six thou
sand feet! Is the interior of the
earth of temperature absolutely
zero, as some scientists contend?
Or has it a temperature of 212
degrees Fahrenheit.
The old theory, influenced
doubtless by theological consid-
trations, was that heaven was
above, hell below us. And con-
Sequently it was natural to in
fer that the interior Of the
earth was a hot, molten, fluid
sea.
The modern view tends to
swing in the opposite direction.
The scientists who hold that
the earth has a molten, fluid
interior are in the minority.
Many geologiSts now maintain
that the earth has an outer
crust, say 80 or 10 miles thick.

ticularly for women. Fidgegy
natures, fuSsing around, re-
belling against discipline and
routine, demanding their rights.
Remind one Of Mexican jump
ing beans.
Ever see jumping bean?
Common little black seed
you'd never notice, If it wasn't
in a saucer in a store window
with crowd staring. You won
der why it's attracting all that
attention. Then you see it
jump, as if it were filled with
dynamite. But it isn't filled
with dynamite. It's just filled
with worm.
These restless, aimlesS, mod
ern females make me think Of
that. Females who go around
yawping about the slavery Of
housework and child bearing
saying what wonderful things
they could accomplish if they
had a chance-clamoring for
careers-yearning for self ex-
preston. But what have most
of them to express? Nothing,
but an inner itch.
Naturally, these ladies are as
common as beans. But a bean,
though common, is an extremely
valuable vegetable-if it will
stick to it's beaning and develop
worms. And the same goes for
US GIRLS. Nature designed us
for a dull but vitally important
function. Then along came this
yen for self expression and now
we're filling the world with
futile flutterings that get us ex-
actly nowhere. Nevertheless, we
get a big bang out of thinking
how unusual we are-how supe-
r1or to stupid, dull people who
sit in one place and don't fidget.
But we're not unusual.
There's nothing intelligent or
dramatic or heroic about mere
fidgeting. Fidgeting was about
the first thing that happened
in life. The marshes were one
vast squirm. And presently the
jungles were filled with jabber-
ing jumpers, expressing them
selves all over the place.
Remember that verse from
Kipling's "Road-Song Of the

The Marry-GO-ROund
BY Helen Rowland.

On LOve-and Other TrifIes
The usual "misunderstand-
ing starts with the first kiss,
which the girl regards as "just
the beginning"-and the man
regards as the beginning of the
end.
Love is a sentimental Jag"
The remorse and headaches
may follow, but while the gla-
NOR lasts, you say and think
sublime things that would never
occur to you when cold sober.
Those must have been dull
days, before prohibition. when
ladies" never drank cocktails,
much less went in for spangled
cocktail jackets and jeweled
TASKS.
It is hard to say which Suf-
fers more on a legal holiday:
the woman whose husband
hangs around the house and
makes trouble and criticism, or
the woman whose husband goes
out and makes big whoopee.
To a man, a decade is just
ten years-but to a woman it is
the gulf between youth and
henr1a.
Nowadays the average girl has
no more regard for a wife's pro-
prietary rights in her husband
than the average laundry has
for the personal ownership of
handkerchiefs.
When a man runs from temp
tation in his twenties it is pretty
safe to predict that at forty
he'll be hanging back waiting
for temptation to OVERTAKE
him.

MEXICAN ROAD
WORK RESUMED
Construction On Projects
Goes Forward After
Rainy Season
BY JACK ~STARR-HUNT

MONTERREY, Mexico, Nov. -
With the termination OF the brief
fall rainy season in northern
Mexico. highway construction has
been actively resumed.
The prolongation OF the Laredo
Monterrey highway. which is soon
to link Mexico City with the border,
has been opened as a provisional
highway Is far south as 90 kilomet-
ers. or about SIS miles. beyond
Wales. state Of San Luis Potosi.
The stretch from Laredo 10 Mon
terrey Is surfaced and IN superb
condition, and from Monterrey 10
Linares in the same state the road
is good in dry weather. Petroliza-
ton OF the link between Monte
rrey and Linares will begin early
in January.
Construction OF bridges and
culverts is occupying much OF the
time of road workers between mere
and Wales at present.
Active construction on the pro-
iected coast to coast highway that
| will connect Brownsville, Texas,
with Mazatlan on the Pacific
coast. has also been resumed. To
! the west from Monterrey this road
is in good condition as far west as
Saltillo. East OF Monterrey road
| crews are at work near Bravo, not
far from the Tamaulipas border IN
/ Nuevo Leon. and about half way
between Monterrey and Raynosa.
When work on the Don Martin
irrigation project north Of here IS
completed. probably in a few more
weeks. some OF the 1900 Don
Martin laborers will be used for
highway construction. One crew
will be used to begin construction
or a road from Camaron. Nuevo
Leon. to Eagle Pass. Texas. and
another will start work on a high
Wav from Camaron to Laredo
Zach of the two links will be about
100 miles long.
While not only the federal gov
-rnment but also state govern
ments. notably IN the state Of Nue.
