WRIGLEY TO TRADE
PRODUCTS FOR GRAIN
Western Canadian Wholesalers
Told Money Would Be Left in
Area and Burden Relieved.

CHICAGO, January 9.-The plan of
the William Wrigley, Jr., Co., Ltd, of
Canada to take wheat in exchange for
its products in Western Canada was
explained in a letter frC.n it's Toronto

We propose to take wheat in exchange
for Wrigley's products"
The company explained that it had
three purposes. Cash was not to be
taken out Of the western provinces, but
the money left there in the form of
wheat. The company said it felt wheat
at IS cents a bushel was cheap and
that it would make money. Also, the
plan would relieve to some extent the
carrying strain On farmers, pools and
other business enterprises.
IF wheat goes up. as we feel is prob
able, we will profit" said the company
'But If it goes down We become part
ners with the West and as such take
our loss with them. Our real object is
to let Western Canada pay up in kind
pay in wheat for what the West owes
us and. unless wheat goes up, we pro-
pose to invest further of the ccm-
pany's resources in wheat until we
actually own 1,000, 900 bushels"
The letter said the company would
buy wheat only at or below the price
of IS cents a bushel on the basis of

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, January DIR.
L. Don Leet, in charge of the Harvard
seismograph station, plans to produce
artificial earthquake shocks next Sum-
mer. The shocks will be produced by
dynamite. They will be measured by
portable seismographS.
The experiments will take two forms.
One will be the measurement of the
speed with which vibrations travel
through granite The other will be the
measuring of the thickness of drifts
left by glaciers 10000 years ago, re-
veaIing the original formation of the
land.
Granite Wave Speeds Studied.
Biologists have long believed that
the continents were underlain by gran
ite They have. been trying for many
years to determine how thick this layer
is. The only means of study has been,
and still is, the velocities with which
earthquake waves travel through it.
Little knowledge, Dr. Leet says, now
exists about the velocity of vibrations
in granite. If such speeds are deter
mined, they will indirectly contribute
to the aim of scientists to learn the
thickness of this foundation layer, or
the study may reveal that this founda-
ton is not granite at all.
This first phase of his research will
be undertaken at the granite quarries
in Quincy Mass. Not only will measure
ment of the speed at the surface be
attempted, but, as far as practicable,
the velocitieS of the Vibrations travelling
through granite under diffGlent degrees
of pressure, according to ia depth.
Investigate Ice Thickness.
The second form the research will
take will be a determination of the
thickness of the vast coverings of rock
and earth debris left by the ice sheets
in the last great ice age. Beneath
these deposits lie the solid rock for
nations that were at the surface be-
fore the ice advanced.
charting of the old land surfaces
would reveal a general picture of the
land before it was changed by the gla-
ciers, revealing, possibly, that hills oc-
Cured in places now occupied by val
leys and that rivers 10000 years ago
ran in different directions from those
of today.
Portable SeismOgraph Used.
The principal means for studying
these problems is portable selslno-
graph, first developed commercially for
discovering oil deposits. The Harvard
Seismograph Station has just received
two of these instruments. one COM
mercial type, the other an instrument
unique in its field.
The ordinary type records vibrations
travelling in only one direction. The
other, especially constructed for this
kind of research by H. Gordon Taylor
of Washington, records waves in three
dimensions at right angles to one an
other.
In operation, charge of dynamite is
set OFF at some distance from the in
strument. The time of discharge is
photographed instantly on film. A
vibrating tuning fork records the pas
sage of time in intervals of a hum
dreth Of a second AS the film turns,
the arrival Of the first vibrations
through the ground are Immediately
photographed on the film. The accu-
racy of the instrument makes it pos
sible to show within a couple of thou

JOB COMMITTEE

Statement Outlines Opera
tons for Relief of Unem-
pIoyment of Capital.

With announcement that approx
mately 80 persons are being carried on
its nav roll. the District of Columbia
Committee on Employment, IN state
ment today which outlined the present
status of its operations, said that 1t now
has at its disposal smooth function
ing organization of employees which Is
capable of undertaking almost any sort
of laboring work on a contract basis. y
The present staff, the committee
said, is by far the largest which 1t has
yet employed in accordance with ltS
intention to utilize the funds from the
charity foot ball game as direct means
of giving work to as many persons as
possible.
Three Crews on Duty.
The workers have been divided into
three crews.
one. consisting of 35 colored men. is
assiSned to the fish market wharf IN
loading the barge of f1rewood brought
I'D from Quantico. This wood is be-
ing delivered through Salvation Army
depots and in a house-to-house dis
tribution made possible by Army trans
port trucks and trucks furnished by
Wash B. Williams, coal dealer.
Another crew Of approximately 20
colored men is cleaning up portion
Of Massachusetts Park, under super
vision of the Office of public buildings
and public parks.
A third, consisting of Is white men,
is cutting felled timber in Arlington
Cemetery into cord lengths and an ex-
perienced carpenter has been employed
to construct from miscellaneous pieces
o: timber rustic furniture, which the
committee hopes to sell to replenish its
fund.
The preponderance of colored help
being employed now, the committee ex-
plains, is due to a desire to divide the
work as much as possible. White labor
was used for the first barge of firewood,
it points out.
Supervisory Force.
The supervisory force includes two
stenographers, a bookkeeper, one gen.
eral foreman, two bosses and a time
keeper.
The committee is hopeful now that
some sort of cleanup work on private
property will be launched to enable it
to replenish its fund from time to time
and extend the scope Of its employment.
1t wants to keep it's relief work on a
practical basis of employment and at
the same time hold its fund as near as
possible to the amount received from
the foot ball game.

HARVARD SCIENTISTS TO MAKE
EARTHQUAKES WITH DYNAMITE
Vibration Speed Through Granite and
Thickness of Ancient Glacier Drifts
to Be Measured by Seismographs.

sandths of q second how long 1t took
for the vibrations to reach the seis-
mograph.
Experiment Is Explained.
The vibrations travel through loose
earth at the surface, such as glacial
till, at far slower rate than through
the solid formations below. BY dis
charging the dynamite at successfully
greater distances. the first waves to
reach the instrument will, for short
distance, travel only through the low
speed material. Beyond certain point
however, depending upon the thickness
of the surface material, the waves will
be able to make better time by travel
ing part of the distance in the under
lying high-speed solid rock.
Thus, they will arrive ahead of the
schedule they would follow on the sur
face.
For example, the vibrations may
travel through ordinary earth at 1000
to 5000 feet per second, while they will
travel in rock formations at speeds of
$4,000 feet a second and up.
Thus in taking set of observations
along straight line a profile of the
rock below the surface will be revealed.

The consolidation creates fleet with

Naugatuck, Conn, July 25.- Former Fire Chief Wilson S. Clark, 69, died at his home on Cherry street this morning at o'clock. MT. Clark had been ill for some time, but his death was shock to the borough as it removes one of it's best known and most highly re- spected citizens.
 Chief Clark was well known throughout Connecticut and for that matter all over the country due to his utilization with the na- tional fire chiefs association. He had never missed q national con vention of this organization since he had assumed office as fire chief of the Naugatuck department. He held the office for nine years start ing in 1910.
 Mr. Clark was born in Nauga- tuck and lived all his life here. He acquired a reputation early in life as rubber maker and as an ex- pert in setting up rubber machin- cry. In 1890 he went to Sweden where he set up the mill room in the first rubber factory established in that country.
 About ten years after his return from abroad he established truck ing and coal business in the bor- the time of his death. His sons are now engaged in this business.
 He was an active member of the local lodge of Eagles and Elks and was a devout parishioner of st..
