NIAGARA CHANGED
BY HEAT AND COLD
Ice and Sun Eventually viii
Make CataractS Out of
Majestic Falls.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y. August
14.-Low water and the extreme cold
of last Winter were blamed today for
the 10000, ,0o0-pound rock slide from
the brink of the Horseshoe Falls
Charles F. Seyfred, superintendent
of the Niagara Reservation on Goat
Island, which separates the Horse
shoe Falls from the American cata-
ract, pointed cut the cold caused
the rocky lip of the waterfall to crack
due to the absence of water. Heat
expansion this Summer caused the
rock to move gradually until it
broke off yesterday, he said.
Power companies on the Canadian
side of the gorge continued to operate
today without decreased efficiency.
A S. Robertson, member of the On
tario Hydro-Electric Power Commits
sion, said the only effect has been
to divert some of the water to the
point where the tons of rock toppled
to the foot of the cataract The
ledge that fell was dry. The official
also said the water now had ten
dency to flow in greater quantity on
the Goat Island side of the Falls, but
it did not affect power generation.
Prof Reginald H. Pegrum, head of
the University of Buffalo geology de-
partment, said the rim of the Can
adian, or Horseshoe Falls, has shown
within the last Is years a greater
tendency to disintegrate than the
American side.
The reason" Pegrum said, "iS the
tremendous fall of water on the Can
adian side, which constantly under
mines the underlying soft shale."
Three years ago similar bit of
face lifting was done on the Ameri-
can falls. Biologists say that the
breaking off of the limestone ledge,
go feet thick, which forms the lip
of the falls, will occur periodically
Eventually, science reckons, the
sloping limestone ledge will crumble
away and the falls will degenerate
into a series of rapids. That, how
ever, is thousands of years in the
future. The falls recede five feet a
year

Jim Mofett Digs Into
Jeans to Satisfy
Office Desires.
BY GENEvIEvE FORBES HERRICK

Vim MOFFETT, Uncle Sans new
house man (head of the Fed
eral Housing Administration
~ thinks it would be pretty silly
to conduct a house-renovizing
campaign from a dingy cubbyhole
somewhere. He wants adequate head
quarters. When, as a matter of fact,
any quarters are difficult to get in
the Government these crowded hours.
His outfit took over some Offices in
the new Post Office Building; needed
more space. Got it by this circuitous
way.
The Soil Erosion Service 1Uds
ouSted from the nelD Interstate
Commerce Building, oUer to pri-
udtely oWned building. The space
thus released WdS dllocdted to the
Communications Commission. This
made dUdilable the room IN the
Post Office Building Uhich the
Communications Commission iDdS
to haze taken. Dhen the Indian
Bureau ,Dds ouSted, and thus gate
the housing outfit the additional
space. Is that all straight?
Anyway, the pivot of the spin is
the transferring of the Soil Erosion
Service And Mr.. Moffett agreed to
foot the bills for this move. He paid
the moving bills; he paid for the in
stallation of telephones, etc. He has
guaranteed the first years rent in this
privately owned building. For which
he will dig down into his own pocket
to the tune of $4,000.
Taxpayers Lament.
She was a taxpayer, sightseeing in

sign. 1t read: "Stenographic Pool"

Judgment upon Mrs. Anna Antonio

death, meets again Monday to con-
slider her fate.
Yesterday. for the third time. Gov.
Lehman delayed the execution of the
convicted husband slayer and her
two accused accomplices. He granted
a stay until August to permit the
States court Of last resort to pass
upon a petition for a new trial. A
new trial was denied by County Judge
Earl H. Gallup. who sentenced the
three to the chair. A jury had found
the trio guilty of removing Antonio TO
collect his insurance. and the first
degree verdict carried a mandatory
death sentence.

Ices, exonerated Mrs. Antonio of q

has not gone TO hell"
Everybody for the Thomas and
Disney bills this Spring told us that
time and again. ! want to know why

These bills would have provided for
"uuotas in commerce" OF crude oil to
be produced from individual wells,
and would have limited the quantity
OF crude which might have been in
troduced both in tntrastate and in
terstate commerce.

New Move Near Success.
Another movement under way to
halt the production of crude oil be-
yond Federal and State quotas Is
understood to be nearing success In
East Texas.
Howard Bennette, the national re-
finery co-ordtnator, has been almost
constantly in Tyler and nearby East
Texas points for weeks lining up the
refiners and signing them up under
contracts TO major oil operators who
have agreed to supply them with
legitimately produced crude sufficient
for daily needs and purchase their
surplus gasoline.
As result Of the campaign. local
oil men contend the oil market has
been prevented from cascsding.
The gasoline market Is firm and
crude oil has not yet receded from its
base price OF around 81 barrel
established last Fall In the mid
continent.
