China Builds Second Great Wall;
Would Encircle Globe Four Times

Hope Simpson, director general of the
National Flood Commission, has been
forcibly emphasized for me during my
recent trip through the once desolated
farmlands Of Central China. Almost
the entire burden Of planning and build
ing for permanence the 5000 miles Of
dikes along the Yangstze, Huai and
Grand Canal basins has been handled
by Chinese exclusively. I can testify
to the fine uniformity, the orderliness
Of the work, which indicates q high de-
gree Of engineering skill and great dis
cipline in the organization Of millions
Of workers. This effort may safely be
said to have removed the fear Of re-
currence Of similar floods from the
minds of millions of Chinese"
Mr.. Brown also lauded the liable
leadership Of the national government"
which made possible the National Flood
Commissions reconstructive accom-
pliShments, with especial commendA-
tion Of the role played by T. v. Soong,
minister Of finance, who was chairman
Of the relief commission.
His statement concluded with the as
surance to American contributors to the
China Flood Relief, U. s. A., that their
money had been well spent by sons of
Q new China China able to grapple

''Sun Bath" Parks Urged
For Italian Resorts

ROME, Italy-"Nature parks" where
tourists as we'll as Italians could take
sun baths with a minimum Of clothing
to cut OF the rays, are advocated In the
latest issues Of two magazines Of the
tourist and resort interests, snd the
OServatore Romano, organ Of the
Vatican, attacks the proposals as CAL
culated to corrupt Italy with the nudtst
movement.
Mature parks should be increased in
all parts Of italy, especially those visited
by foreigners" says the Review Of Cure
Resorts, Travel and Tourism in its Feb
ruary number. THE creation of such
parks would be a very strong attraction
for our health resorts"
This suggestion is applauded by the
Naturist Idea. official organ of the Ital-
ian Naturist Union. The naturist prin-
ciple, the magazine explains, Is that
virtue consists of purity of conscience
and does not depend on the frail ex-
ternal covering of a rag of CLOTH"
Mature parks?" Indignantly inquiries
the Osservatore For what animals?
What attraction? What is all this?"
It IS nothing less than the first step
toward nudism, the Vatican journal re-
plies to its own questions. Already the
"ofhcial journals" are circulating pic
lures of devotees Of the "naturist idea"
in the raw, and soon, unless measures
are taken to prevent 1t, we shall have
people in birthday suits all over the

Body Found After Century in Ice

PARIc.-A tragedy of more than q

Hawaii Needs Air Force

HONOLULU, Hawaii-Army and
Navy officials reviewing the recent Ha-
waiian water maneuvers of the scouting
force Of the American feet have reach
ed o general conclusion that the islands
are insufnciently defended by aircraft.
The coming Of the huge aircraft car
riers Lexington and Saratoga made it
possible for the attacking" force to put
nearly 200 planes into the air at one
time in mythical assault On Oahu's
land defenses, posts, arsenalS and other
elements Of the military and naval
establishments. The attack was made
under ideal weather conditions for an
enemy's purpose, with heavy showers
and low-lying clouds that made visi-
bility poor, enabled the aircraft carriers
to come near the islands and the planes
to get within striking distance Of i'm
portant objectiveS.
The conclusions outlined above are
unofficial, but probably will form one
Of the bases Of study Of Oahu defenses
which will figure in Army and Navy

It is this description which, COM
pared with the relics of the corpse
found a year ago, has made it pos
sible to prove that the body was that
of Barrau, and had finally emerged
from the ice after more than century.
In the course Of 108 years Barrau's
body had moved, as the crow flies. some
1,500 yards across the glacier. From
this fact scientists are now able to
calculate the mean rate Of flow Of the
Maladetta Glacier, which Is slightly
under Is yards q year. 1t Is perhaps
the first time In the history Of geology
that scientific men have had data
covering . long period on which to base
their conclusions Of glacier movements.

Autographing of Grains of Rice
Develops New Profession in Japan

TOKIO.-Science, for once, was too
clever for its employers when it de-
veloped the process Of sending photo
graphs by wire and wireless. From re-
producing photographs, the motive for
the invention, was only q step to popu-
larizing the process by sending photo
ghaphed messages reproducing the send
er's handwriting or other character1s-
tics. In that the telegraph companies,
for financial reasons, are inclined to
put the brakes on science.
Such photographed messages can be
sent in the United States and across
the ocean to certain countries IN Eu-
rope. Japan, which keeps abreast OF
the times, started to install the sys-
tenn for home and abroad but the au-
and stopped.
The Photographic message has de-
veloped q profession, for years consid-
cred an entertaining fad, into . highly
profitable occupation. It Is the art OF
microscopic writing, hitherto confined
to such stunts as putting the Lords
Prayer on the head Of q pin or the Dec
laration Of Independence on . postage
stamp.
Just now the human eye and. hand
Is ahead Of science, for experts can
write in smaller characters than tele-
graph instruments can reproduce. Con-
sequently as science improves, receipts
will diminish and profits are . great
incentive to progress.
In Japan. where the two senses OF
sight and touch are unusually keen
possibly at the expense Of the other
senses, microscopic writing has been de-
veloped into q fine art.

Fine Arts College Of Prague. He also
attended the Technical University of
Prague, completed his studies in three
years, then served as assistant professor
while working for his degree as Doctor
Of Technical Sciences. This was
awarded in 1912.
In the meantime Karl Arnstein had

Then weakness was discovered in the

gle spire. Arnstein used his knowledge
of stresses to construct q new founda-
ton for it.
His reputation expanded and he was
urged to join the growing organization
of airship engineers working on Lake
Bodensee. It was an eager pioneering
group and DR.. Arnstein fitted in we'll
with them as he applied his methods Of
stress analysis to rigid airship struc-
lures.
Here the war caught him in 1914 and
he was called away from his work back
to Prague and drilling. His name had
been tipped up in the earliest draft.
In his work, however, he had aroused
the interest Of Count Ferdinand Won
Zeppelin. And Count Zeppelin had
decided that Arnstein could serve the

as deftly as possible, he arranged for
the transfer of DR.. Arnstein from
