Molten Rock Destroys
Early Geological Records

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. that geo
logical records Of the earth's oldest
happenings have been destroyed by
molten rock masses rising to the
surface Of the earth In later times
was reported to the American Geo
physical union here by DR.. E. N.
Goddard of the United States geo
logical survey.
Starting more than $4,000, 900
years ago during the Eocene age
when primitive mammals were dis
placing the great dinosaurs, mass
of molten rock rose up from the
depths to break the billion-year-old
crust of the earth at point where
today the mining town of Jimtown,
Colo, is located, Doctor Goddard de-
clared.
In the intruded rock, he found
fragments of these younger rocks,
some of them hardly changed by
their submersion in the molten
mass. Other fragments were great
lv changed, and there is evidence
that still others had been melted
and dissolved in the rising mass,
transformed into part Of it.
These findings, Doctor Goddard
pointed out, show on a small scale
the cycle of rock changes that is
going on everywhere. Molten rocks
are washed away, deposited as
sediments, then they are heated
and squeezed into new forms, Their
are absorbed by intruding melted
rocks, beginning the cycle all over
again.

Berlin.-More than 100000 acres
OF wild forested lands have been set
aside as a permanent refuge for
moose. The area lies in East Prus-
STA, near the city Of Koenigsburg.
1t has never been cultivated, and
very little timber cutting has ever
been done in 1t.
Regulations are very strict. Not
only are such obvious Ill practices
as lighting fires, cutting trees, and
shooting game prohibited, but visi-
tors are not even allowed to leave
public roads and paths without spe-

thinking, does not exist, including
mental and physical ability 80.
In case the United States goes to
war it will be necessary for this
young man, along with many 9TH

He, for some reason, can't be pic
tured using such an instrument. He
has no wish to kill his fellows s.
He holds no grudges
1t is our plea not to engage such
young men in what might be term

he, himself, is leader, not in the
class of woe-begotten, war minded
individuals, but rather in one who
builds peace and prosperity for a

Why Rome Failed in
Ancient Britain Is

Shown by Digging
BY EMILY C. DAVIS

on.-Once again the past
teaches. a lesson in conquest
and its results.
Archaeological investigation
in England is revealing what
written history has never ex-
-ss4ained. How and why Rome
failed to Romantic barbarian
Britain, 1000 years ago.
Rome failed, says DR.. R. E. M.
Wheeler. London university archie
ologist. because Rome tried in Brit
ain to introduce too revolutionary an
upheaval in social order.
Rome brought a pattern OF city
life which was new to the Britons
because it centered around COM
merce. Excavations show that the
Britons had their own cities. But
the Gifted Briton was bucolic. He
drew on the nearby countryside
for food and for the stone, iron,
clay. bone, and horn that made
weapons and household gear. Rare
ly.. did these prehistoric Britons inn
port foreign Injuries. Their trade
was petty.
Came the Romans, and they set
about improving these people. Ma
tive towns that resisted were
stormed and dismantled, as has
been recently shown by digging at
Maiden Castle. Disarmed towns
folk remained to rebuild their
houses ard become Roman sub
jects.
No Middle Glass.
The Romans introduced foreign
craftsmen to teach the natives tc
build in the Roman way, and for
eign capital to develop resources Of
the country.
BY the middle of the second cen
fury, says Doctor Wheeler, London
and Verulamium ashone brightly or
the provincial landscape. Britain
had acquired central hedllhg, Gust
proof floors, bath suites.
But, little more than century
later the bubble had burst An
other century, and Romano-Brltisf
cities degenerated into concentrat
ed sluns. No prosperous middle
class had developed, and Withou
this type the Roman city plan wa
bound to fail.
Doctor Wheeler sums it up: Rome
effected political and social revo
luton in Britain, but not the eco
nomic revolution to fit it. Romano
British country life succeeded. Tit
cities awaited the. Middle ages To-
comeback.
