To this end delegates converting
today are not merely crime ex-
pertS, lawyers, representatives of
prison associations etc., but also
representatives of .women's clubs,
the press, radio, the motion pic
ture industry and from broad
sociological field.
The plan is to put the problem
OF crime before the public and
keep it there rather than the
Usual reverse of the people putting
the problem up to the Govern
ment.
liver since the Justice Depart
~ ment announced it's plans for
a crime conference, it has been
deluged with almost as many sug-
geStions on how to eradicate crime
as Franklin Roosevelt gets on how
to end depression.
One of them urged the registra-
ton of all laundry tags. Another
urged the segregation of all unfit
children into concentration camps
where they would not be allowed
to reproduce.
But the prize nut" letter at
tributed crime to the United
States Navy and the bad example
set by sailors while on shore leave.
So far. Atty. Gen. Cummings
has refrained from showing this
letter to his colleague, the Secre-
tary of the Navy, but the tempta-
ton is rather great.

WHETHER 29-year-old Rush
w Holt will be allowed to take
mis- Senate seat next month is still
a moot question. But the youth
full West Virginian already is hav-
ing his troubles with job hunters.
He tells this story himself:
Election night he did not re-
tire until nearly dawn. But at
last his friends departed and he
turned in. Hardly had he fallen
asleep when he YES awakened by
a vigorous ringing of his door bell.
AT the door was stranger.

not remember me. But I voted

said. You come and see me when
I get to Washington"

And there was ring of con-
viction in his voice which the
visitor may not have appreciated.

Today S Science
BY DAVID DIETZ .

CET acquainted with "sima" and "sial" If you
" want to talk the technical language of geolo-
gists these days "Sial" is the name which geolo-
gists have given to the granite rocks which con-
stitute the continents "Sima" is the name for the
heavier basaltic rocks which constitute the floor of
the oceans and which underie the continents.
Sial floats upon Srna and according to certain
recent theories the theories of continental migration
Sial moves about due to the periodic melting of the
sima beneath, melting brought about by radio
active heating
Theories of the structure of the interior of the
earth undergoing changes these days as a result
of recent geological Investigations particularly the
studies of the transmission of earthquake waves
through the earth
Originally it was supposed that the interior of
the earth in a molten condition. Then it became
popular to believe that the earth had a solid in
terror Now biologists, chiefly because of the studies
of the propagation of earthquake waves are inclined
to believe that the earth has liquid core.
THIS liquid core is believed to have diameter
i of about 1900 miles. Surrounding it, biologists
now believe is layer of heavy rock, silicates i'm
pregnated with iron. This layer is thought to be
about 1856 miles thick
Next comes the sima. about 700 miles thick. At
the top of the sia is layer of ultra basic rocks
about IA miles thick upon which the sial floats
AS already mentioned, biologists have arrived at
these notions chiefly from the way in which earth
quake waves travel through the earth.
When an earthquake occurs, several types Of
waves radate from the center of disturbance These
include the So-called primary waves, which are
waves OF compression ike SOUND waves FoHoWlng
the primary waves the secondary waves. In
these plane of vibration is at right angles to
the direction in which the waves travelling.
THE speed with which these waves travel
varies with the density of the rock layers through
which they are travelling. This fact gives the basis
for the theories concerning the thickness Of the
various rock layers.
Liquids can transmit waves of the primary type
but not of the secondary type When the record of
an earthquake has to travel through the central
portion of the earth to reach seismograph, these
secondary are lost.
1t is this fact which leads scientists to infer today
that the center of the earth is liquid.
Recent researches by DR.. Harlan T. StetSon have
disclosed the fact that the moon causes changes in
longitude Thus the distance between America and
Europe changes by as much as So feet
This change only be explained by supposing
that the moon causes tides in the earth itself, rails
ing bulge on the earth and altering the distances
between continents. So much elasticity in the earth
seems to favor the theory of liquid core.
