Glory Can Be Maintained
Only by Slow Wearing
Away, Says Thone.
BY DIR. FRANK THONE
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-The
rock slide at Niagara Falls, which
changed slightly the contour of the
American falls, does not presage any
revolutionary change or disaster to
the great cataract, but is only a
larger-than-o rdinary example of
the normal course Of events.
Since paradoxically, Niagara can
exist only by having periodical rock
falls, it can maintain it's full glory
only by gradually wearing away.
Niagara's chief beauty is the cur
tain of water that leaps from crest
to bottom without a break. This is
made possible by the projection of
the stratum of hard limestone which
forms the bed Of the river as an
overhang above the rest of the cliff,
which is composed of softer rocks.
Rocks Eaten Away
The impact of the laundering
water, reinforced by churning frag-
ments Of hard rock washed down
and broken by the falls, constantly
eats away the softer supporting
rocks, and as constantly the edge of
the limestone overhang breaks off
in pieces, adding to the rivers
equipment of rock drills below.
Thus the falls keep themselves
young, and gradually creep up
stream.
The rate of recession on the
American side is difficult to meas
ure, but recorded observations show
that it hardly exceeds more than
foot every two years. The recent
slide may make a slight flaw in the
American fall, but it is unlikely to
develop into a major defect.
VIII Destroy Itself
On the Canadian side, however,
the story is quite different. More
than so. per cent Of the water in
the niagara river goes over Horse
shoe falls, and the recession
amounts to as much as four or five
feet a year in midstream.
In the course of many centuries,
Niagara will destroy itself, despite
all precautions. The hard capstone
that forms the overhang dips in the
upstream direction. The dip is only
about twenty feet in a mile, but
eventually the limestone disappears
under the surface and is covered
with softer rock.
Once the river wears back to this
point, Niagara no longer will be
sheer drop, but a tumultuous tu1n-
BILE through masses Of broken rock.

PUBLICITY FOR
COLLEGE HELD
AS INEVITABLE
Glare Of LimeIight Leaves
Nothing to Be Hidden,
Educators Told.

College presidents who hope to
stop newspaper publicity when a
professor declares Jonah didn't
swallow the whale, can do so If they
follow the simple recipe given by
DR.. Clifton D. Gray, president of
Bates college, Lewiston, Me-, today
at a conference of heads Of North
ern Baptist colleges In the Clay
pool.
1t is:
Get yourself a job like the one
held by the president Of Benning-
ton college in Vermont. He has no
college building, no faculty, no stu
dent body-nothing but a campus.
That IS the only system I know Of
to avert unfavorable college pub
Icity," he declared.
Publicity Is Inevitable
college publicity is inevitable.
The glare OF the liInelght leaves
nothing to be hid. The walls are
made of glass. There Is no phase
of American life-not even proh-
bition-that provides so much news
paper copy as the college.
Sooner or later every college has
unfavorable publicity. Some IS I'M
ethical and stupid. Take the
example of a professor of psychology
who read paper on Love before
a faculty group.
"a feature writer heard OF it and
Immediately a battery of ptotogra-
pliers and reporters hied to the COL
lege town. The story did the in
Stitution no particular harm but
am sure it did it no good.
THE second example Of this type
Of publicity has not seen the light
Of day and I doubt If it ever will
A few weeks ago was told by the
head Of our department Of hygiene
that the combined weight of the ESQ
women students at Bates had in
creased just about 1000 pounds up
to the Thanksgiving recess.
Press Is to Blame
81 can see in this story a fine OPP
portunity for getting publicity on
the hygienic conditions at Bates.
Such a story would carry in New
England; on the other hand can
see the humorous treatment of this
theme, for example the headline,
Bates Girls, Like Einstein, Prefer
Curves-which might carry around
the world.
college athletic publicity does
nothing but advertise athletics and
the press is responsible for the
over-emphasis of athletic publicity.
A colleges greatest asset is public
ity of its student body" he con-
cluded.

My conclusion is that the eight
zenith amendment can not be en-
forced effectively without the active
general support Of public opinion
and the law enforcement agencies
OF the states and cities of the ma
ton; that such support does not
now exist, and that I can not find
sufficient reason to believe that 1t
can be obtained. see no alterna-
tive but repeal Of the amendment.

COUNTY HOUSE
DELEGATION is
SPLIT ON QUIZ
Other Signs of Breaks Lead
to LogrolIing Charges
After Caucus.

Split in the Marion county dele
cation in the house Of representa-
tives because of ambition Of several
young attorney members to log
roll pet measures through" by sup
porting moves of down-state mem
bers, was reported today as the
outstanding development of the
secret majority house caucus late
Monday.
First signs of division were shown
in the house Monday afternoon,
when Marion county members led
the attack on the resolution offered
by their colleague, Representative
Fred Galloway, asking for q probe
OF the oil inspection department,
where the state board of accounts
has found many shortages.
Representative Clyde Karrer
(Marion) sought to sidetrack the
probe by calling attention of the
Marion county prosecutor to the
accounts board probe.
Opposes Muck Raking
Then, at the caucus, Representa-
tive GerTitt M. Bates CMarion), led
the attack on Galloway's resolution.
Bates declared he was opposed
to undertaking Investigations" and
desired to discuss the entire stu
alton from "a standpoint Of the
national and state elections in 1922
Representative E. Curtis White,
also from Marion county, asked
that a committee be appointed to
check all probe resolutions and then
decide on plan OF action and steer
through such moves.
It was decided to have the caucus
chairman, Representative Earl
Crawford (Union and Wayne) head
the committee, the members to be
floor leader, Representative DELPHI
McKeSSon (MarshalD and three
representatives to be selected by the
floor leader.
Further break in the Marion
county delegation was seen during
a caucus discussion of the bills in
PRODUCED for changes in the divi-
sion of the gas tax, it was learned.
BaIk on Tax Split
Caucus discussion involved the
bill introduced by Representative
Jacob Weiss, which would have the
cities and towns share of the state
collections divided on q basis of
registration of automobiles. Instead
Of obtaining one-fiftieth, as In
dianapolis does under the existing
system, the city would be paid back
Is per cent of the money collected,
which could be used in street and
road construction.
But several of Weiss colleagues
showed their opposition to the
measure.
The Lake county delegation stuck
together in declaring its desire to
have its fees and salaries bill
passed as a separate measure and
not included in the party's platform
pledge salary bill.
1t was pointed out that the plat
form measure would cut the amount
that Lake county desires to pay its
prosecutor. Therefore, It's legisla-
tors want separate bill. No final
action was taken.
All members agreed upon the ne
cessity for passing an income tax,
1t was learned, but many showed a
disposition to oppose passage of any
general sales tax and reported that
their constituents we're opposed IN
alterably to such levy.
The caucus discussed passage of
the registration bill, promised in the
platform and old-age pensions.

Civilization will not allow this ma
ton to end the long attempt to con-
troll the use Of alcoholic beverages.
Though the eighteenth amend
ment has not produced all that some
may have dreamed it might, yet the
fact should not be overlooked that
1t has marked a long step for
ward.
1t now is time to take the next
step in the same direction. To stand
still now would mean final loss of

s750. .000. am FOR REArTv

Some people will think it a sign
of extravaganza, that the American
people spend $75O,OOO,OOO a year for
cosmetics and beauty services. Fig
uring that there are about 5O,00O,-
900 women and girls old enough to
consider such interests, that is an
average of about $500 apiece.
Whether so large an expenditure
is justified or not, it is to be feared
that the critics will have a pretty
hard job to induce the women folks
to quit it. And some portion of it
may be spent by the men, for vari-
Gus forms of dolling up.
Any woman will say that a girl
with attractive features has a very
much better chance of making a de-
sirable marriage. And any business
person will say that an attractive
young woman will sell more goods
and command more respect in bust
ness circles. 1t is therefore as use
less to protest against a legitimate
use of such services as it is to ad-
wise salesman or saleswOman to
get along with shabby and old fash
ioned clothes. Such economics hit
at the ends which women chiefly
have in view, and therefore are not
real economies.
1t is no doubt true that many wo-
men and girls make too liberal use
of cosmetics, and give their faces an
appearance of artificiality that re-
pels instead of attracts. Many of
them daub the rouge on their
cheeks until they look like painted
dolls, instead of live flesh and blood
people. Their attraction, with such
habits, is exercised only over crude
and undiscriminating people, or else
the good qualities they have are
marred by such coarse ways.
There is an artistic and an mar
tistic way for woman or girl to
treat her various features. A rea-
sonable amount of expert advice on
the methods of getting the artistic
results and avoiding the inartistic
ones, can not be considered a waste
of money.
Milford chronicle., 1931-07-31
SALES MANAGEMENT

In modern corporations the sales
manager is one of the most impor-
tant officers. He can expect one OF
the best salaries if he makes good
If he falls down, the business lang
uishes. 1t is his function to plan out
comprehensive projects for increas-
ing new business and holding old
trade. In order to accomplish those
results, elaborate plans are formed
for informing possible customers
about the goods.
Every concern, no matter how
small, depends on good sales man
agement. If the sales policy falls
down, the business runs down hill.
1t is the fault of much old fashion
ed retail trade, that it has no ade-
quate sales management. Its idea
is to wait until business comes to it
naturally, instead of reaching out
for it through advertising. A busi-
ness built on that insecure founda-
tion takes many risks.
