CCC Is Hit


Dean D. S. Jeffers of the Uni
versity of Idaho's School of Fores
try doesn't think much of the idea
of tying up CCC activity with thai
of the Governments rangers. He
says:
"OurS is another problem. We
are trained to grow trees, and
harvest trees and manage lands,
and to economically place upon
the markets of our country, and
the world, products manufGc-
tured from timber, suitable for
human use and consumption.
We are not, let me say emphati-
cally, leaders in youth move
ments, nor trained in social
work"

CALCULATING
EXPERTS
BY J. EARLE MOSER

Civil Service Commission Off
eials have announced another test
that is expected to attract large
numbers of applicants seeking en-
trance to the Government service
an examination for Junior calcu,
lating machine operators.
Coming close on the heels OF the
test for bookkeeping machine op-
orators, announced recently, the
quiz will undoubtedly prove popu-
lar with hundreds who are unable
to compete for high salaried posts
because of lack of extensive edu-
cation or experience. In this class
are many who have been studying
machine courses, day or night at
local business schools.
The test, of course, is to replen-
ish the present eligible register at
Civil Service, which means that
those on the old register who
haven't yet been called for service
must again compete, as their
names would OF therwise be
dropped Applications will be re-
CGlVeO through MdACA OV' oAASA
those who successfully pass and
receive appointments will receive
$1,44O per year. .
According to the Civil Service
announcement, practical tests In
operation of machines will con-
stitute 70 per cent of the exam
ination, the remainder being
tricky clerical tests. Outside OF
the ls-to-53 age requirement and
good general health, applicants
who are citizens need no other
qualification, except that they
must furnish the machines upon
which they are to be tested and
bring them to the classroom.
In the case of some bulky cal
culators, this latter necessity
looms as a real physical menace,
especially for feminine hopefulS'
but Civil Service possesses no IA
cilities to have it otherwise.

Galapagos Plateau Long
Known to the Scientists

Existence of the so-called Galapagos
plateau, submerged beneath the sur
face of the ocean but forming great
shelf extending from Costa Rica south
ward beyond the famed Cocos island
and including the Galapagos archipel-
ago has long been known, says writ
er in the Los Angeles Times.
Naval photographic officers describe
it as an irregular continental shelf ex-
tending some 900 miles out to sea. Two
hundred miles off Costa Rica lies Riva-
deneyra shoal which is less than ten
feet below the surface Of the water at
mean tide. A little more elevation
would have made islands Of the shoals.
Around the Galapagos and Cocos is
land are well-defined curves OF pla-
teaus at 1000 fathoms, and including
both these plateaus is much broader
submerged plateau definitely outlined
at ! 500 fathoms. The outer edge OF the
Galapagos plateau is shown on hydro
graphic charts at 2,OOO-fathom curve.
Scientists long since concluded that
a movement in elevation Of the earth's
crust in the Panamic region, at about
the end of the Oligocene period or the
early Miocene period, resulted In the
union of North and South America,
closing the gap between them, and
forming Central America.

West Indian Hurricanes

Most of the so-called West Indian
hurricanes come into existence over
the warm seas between the West In
dies and the coast Of Africa. They
probably start as small eddies OF air,
gather momentum owing to differences
in temperature and air pressure, until
they become gigantic whirls. The
routes followed by West Indian hur-
ricanes in general are similar, but the
storms differ much in their detailed
paths. They originate in the region
Of the trade winds and all move west
ward first, most Of them turning north
ward later.

Their first visits to this region
date back to 1910. 1t was not
until 1868 however, that the first
actual settlement was made.
This was the mission at Sault
Sainte Marie. founded by Father
Marquette. Mackinac was es-
tablished a few years later, and
DetrOit'S growth was slow.
After the French and Indian
wars the English took over this
territory, and in 1774 it was for
mally declared q part OF Canada.
Detroit rapidly grew in impor.
tance and during the Revolution
was the base of operations for
many raids by the British and
Indians against the Americans.
BY the terms of the treaty OF
Paris in 1888 this region became
a part Of the United States.
What is now Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, a part Of Minnesota, Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio was known as
the Northwest territory. After
Ohio was set off as separate
state the Lower Peninsula OF
Michigan was joined to Indiana
territory. In 1905 Michigan be-
came a separate territory with
about its present boundaries.
There was, however, great
dispute over a small strip of
land In the extreme southern
portion which was claimed by
Ohio. This almost led to blood
shed, but was finally settled by
Michigan releasing her claim to
the disputed area and receiving
as compensation an addition to
the Upper Peninsula. On this
basis Michigan was admitted to
the Union in 1887 and became
the twenty-sixth state.
Michigan has unique situa-
ton. as It is bounded by the
three largest of the Great Lakes,
and divided into two peninsulas.
