GEOLOGY MADE
SIMPLE IN BOOK
POND PROMPTED
Story of Billion Years Told
by Michigan Sci
enlist.
BY DAVID DIETZ
Scripps- Howard Science Editor

A Wisconsin mill pond is used by
DR.. William o. Hotchkiss of the
Michigan College of Mining and
Technology to teach the fundamen-
tai lessons of geology. He describes
the pond in the opening pages Of
The Story of a Billion Years"
The layman who wants a brief
but adequate introduction to the
science Of geology will find it in this
book DR. Hotchkiss has &C
complished the task of putting an
excellent summary of geology into
1877 pages
The book is one Of the splendid
Century Of Progress" series pub
lished by William 81 wilkins at ST
a volume.
Geology is an easy science, DR..
HOtchkiss says. College students
struggling with the chemical COM
position of minerals or the nomen-
clature Of paleontology may object
to that remark. But it is essentially
true, as DR.. Hotchkiss says, that all
that need be done in order to give
us very satisfying knowledge Of
things geological is to call them 10
our attention"

REBEL SOCIETY
IS BLAMED FOR
CHURCH MURDER
Secret Revolutionary Group
Accused of Plotting Arch
bishops Death.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-A secret
revolutionary society dedicated to
the establishment of an Ar
menian republic was blamed by po-
lice today for the murder Of Arch
bishop Leon Tourian, primate of
the Armenian church of North and
South America, VINO was stabbed to
death in front of the altar in the
Holy Cross Armenian Apostolic
church Sunday.
Members of the society assembled,
determined to aSSaSSinate the pri-
mate, police charged. Lots were
drawn and the man thus chosen
was armed with a dagger which he
plunged into Archbishop Tourian's
back while about twenty-five So
ciety members prevented interior
ence from the congregation, detec-
tives said.
Four men were held, charged
with homicide The actual dagger
wielder was not among them, de
tectives admitted, but his identity
was said to be known.
The old republic of Armenia now
is a Soviet state. The archbishop
was regarded as friendly toward the
Soviets and detectives surmised that
the society felt he stood between it
and fulfillment of its plans

Three Processes Noted

Similar records, Dr. Hotchkiss
goes on, were found by De Geer
studying the mud and sand deposits
in ancient Swedish lakes. There, the
records went back not for seventy
years but for 1000.
Three of the great fundamentals
or geological processes were illus
trated by the Wisconsin mill pond,
he tells us.
First, the stream that flowed into
the mill pond was typical of all
streams. 1t carried mud and sand
and pebbles in its flow.
Second, the material carried by
the stream had been washed into
it by the rain. This wearing away
of the land is known as erosion.
Third, the material was deposited
in layers in the pond. This is the
way in which the layers or strata of
sedimentary rocks are built.

Geologic Epoch Told

To illustrate his point, he takes
a little Wisconsin mill pond which
he calls "a pocket edition of
geologic epoch"
The pond came into existence
when some one built a dam in the
river It's history was ended by a
flood, seventy years later which
destroyed the dam and cut tiny
canyon through the sediments de-
posted in the pond
las I looked at the vertical sides
of the three foot canyon cut in
the sediments in the Wisconsin mill
pond, 1 could see the edges of thin
horizontal layers of different kinds
of mud" DR.. HotchkiSs writes.
Closer examination showed that
some of these layers we're of coarse
material and some Of fine, that some
we're light colored and some dark
Some contained decayed leaves and
other vegetable matter. BY careful
observation 1 could distinguish the
layers that represented years de-
post Counting these annual lay
ers told me that they had been &C
Cumulating for about seventy years
The alphabet of this story is sim
Pile The little stream carried mud
and sand, as all streams do. 1t car
ried fallen leaves in the autumn. 1t
carried more mud and sand and
more coarse material in flood times
than in dry times.
Times Record in Mud
When it reached the still water of
the pond. tie sand and mud and
even the leaves finally settled to the
bottom, SO that the water which
escaped over the dam was much
clearer than that which came into
the pond. The coarser sand and
small pebbles settled much more
quickly than the fine mud
With these simple everyday facts
as an alphabet, was prepared to
read the story recorded in the mud
layers behind the old dam. A thick
layer of sand and fine pebbles told
of a long-past flood stage in the
little stream.
When. over that layer, I found a
layer of the finest mud, knew that
the flood had subsidized A layer
which contained leaves in fair
abundance enabled me to deduce
with Sherlock Holmes certainty
that it must have been deposited in

TO TRY AGAIN
FOR ROAD JOB
Chamber to Send Men to
Olympia to Secure Relief
Work

Further efforts to secure the
completion of the east-end of the
North Bank highway will be made
this coming week. The chamber of
commerce will send committee
consisting of County Commission
er Jay Perry and E. j. Brand to
Olympia to interview the highway
department concerning the work.
The chamber is expanding extra
efforts to secure this work as a re-
lief measure for this fall and
winter. Relief will apparently be
more necessary than ever this
year and there is no other project
available at the present time. In
addition to stressing the value to
the state of the completion of the
link, the relief angle will be lean
ed on hardest.
President c.. A. Crawford also
called for a report from the COM
mittee in charge of the Trade Day
to be held Saturday. An invitation
to join in the Unlatilla Dam pro-
ject was also put before the MEM
bers. s

SEEK TO CUT
POWER COSTS
Moulton Goes to Washington
On Mission for Highlands
District

Monday morning M. M. Moulton
will be in Washington, D. c., where
he will take up with the reclama-
ton service the matter of securing
an adjustment of the power rates
for the Highlands Irrigation dis
trict during the development per-
iod. He will be accompanied from
st. Paul to the national capital by
John Haw, head of the agricultur-
al department of the Northern Pa
cific railroad, who has been of
much assistance to the local dis
trict.
Mr.. Stapleton, also has greatly
helped the district in their efforts
to secure lowered costs for power.
Mr.. Moulton will be gone about
two weeks. It may be that he will
be required to stop at Denver on
his return to take the mater up
with the reclamation engineers,
who have headquarters there.

Suspicious, Jim Ward watched
the man as he hurried out, after

Satisfactory progress is report

definite outline is yet obtainable,
events are shaping themselves so
that something can be worked out,

A month or so ago group of

The special investigating commit

This special committee has had
several meetings and met with the
