Evidence OF Glacial Period
On Hawaii, Scientist Discovers

STOCKHOLM, Oct. IS. = (By
airmaiD - Evidence of a glacial
period on the Hawaiian Islands,
almost coincidental with the great
climatic recession in northern Eur
ope, has been discovered by Swe-
dish scientist, DR.. Olof H. Selling.
He recently presented a thesis at
the University of Stockholm, deal
ing with the evolution of vegetable
life on Hawaii during the past ten
thousand years. In 1888 he was
a member of an expedition to
those parts headed by Prof. c..
Skottsberg, during which sample
series of peat deposits were COL
lected. These now form the base
material for his thesis.
DR.. Settings research has
thrown light on a hitherto COM
pletely unknown chapter in the
history of the Central Pacific.
The most notable result of the in
vestigation is the discovery of a
close similarity between the vege-
tative evolution of Hawaii and
that of New Zealand, America, and
Europe. This gives support to the
Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1948-11-01

uganda Intensified A majority of
the Committee suggests however,
that the restrictions on the sale
of alcoholic beverages in restau-
rants and hotels be retained, while
a minority prefers a continuation
of the present so-called Bratt Sys-
tenn, with a few notifications. It
is primarily the temperance move
ment people who advocate the abo-
lition of the system now in force.

Dental Drill
Lessons Pain

STOCKHOLM. - Dentists as
well as their patients wilr probably
be pleased to hear about a new
type of dental drills developed by
Swedish firm, A B Dentatus.
Made from Coromant, a tungsten
carbide alloy produced by the
Sandviken Steel Works, these
drills make the treatment quicker
and less painful, keeping their cut
ting edges many times longer than
those of ordinary steel drills. Dur
ing a recent test one single hard
metal drill removed 138 grams
of dental substance in As minutes,
whereas no less than 48 ordinary
steel drills and SO minutes were
required to grind away 0.89
grams of the same substance.
Hard metal, however, is not used
for the entire drill, which in such
a case would break into pieces
from the vibration; but only fer
the point. After the hard metal
has been welded onto the stem of
the drill according to special
method the cutting edges are
ground out by means of a diamond
wheel.
The hard-metal drills have at
tracted considerable attention
abroad, and one of the largest
American manufacturers of dental
equipment has recently required
a manufacturing license for the U.
S. A. The same American firm
also produces another Dentatus
speciality: dentists grinding
wheels having diamond powder as
abrasive agent instead of emery.
This product was developed in the
late 1905; the war interfered
with sales abroad, but the diamond
wheels proved an invaluable asset
to Swedish dentists. After the
war, Dentatus has become one of
the leading suppliers of diamond
wheels on the European market.
In its modern plant in suburb
of Stockholm, the Dentatus fac
tory produces practically every
thing a dentist might need: drills
and grinding tools. probes and
mortars, lamps and dentists chairs
etc.
Great attention is given to the
scientific testing Of instruments
and equipment. A dental drill, to
quote one example, can be ruined
in ten seconds when in inexper-
fenced hands, as the result of sud
den overheating. Hence the heat
ing process is studied by the eX-
perts of the Dentatus Co. by
means of test drilling of animal
teeth, with special instruments
keeping pressure and number of
revolutions at a constant level
while other instruments register
the heat development.

Until recent months, the bureaus
standard of purity was 98.2 per

The new helium is more suitable

End Hunger Strike
BY the Assoeioisd Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 6-Four men
awaiting deportation proceedings on
charges of being alien Communists
gained their release on bail today
and Immediately broke their nearly
week-long fast.
A small, but noisy crowd of we'll
wishers met the men as they STEPPED
of the ferry boat which brought
them from Ellis Island. They had
been held there on orders of At
torney General Clark.
Before they left Ellis Island, each

a glass of fruit juice.
They told reporters it was their
first food since Monday when they
started a self-styled hunger strike
to obtain their release on bail pend
ing hearings on the deportation pro-
ceedings.
The four are Gerhart Eisler de-
scribed by Congressional commit
tee as Americas No. l Communist:
John Williamson, labor secretary of
the Communist Party; Ferdinand
Smith, West Indian-born Negro,
who is secretary of the CIO Ma
tional Maritime Union, and Charles
A. Doyle, an oficial of the CIO
United Gas, Coke and Chemical
Workers.
Earlier in the afternoon Federal
Judge William Bondy had ordered
the men released in bail of $500
each pending argument Monday on
their appeal from his denial of their
petitions for habeas corpus writs.
The bail was supplied in Govern
ment bonds by their attorneys.

Union official who also had been
on hunger strike with the others
while awaiting deportation proceed
ings, was released on bail by Judge

McGohey did not participate in dis
cussion of the amount of bail to-
day. His only comment to the Judge

granting bail at all"

Reports from Coast and Geodetic

That is rated a notable movement
for something as firmly anchored

Commander H. w. Hemple, chief
Of the earth-measuring geodesy
division, expressed belief the move
ment is continuing. But he said
it Is impossible as yet to figure the
rate of movement.
The San Andreas rift extends
along the coast from the San Fran
cisco area past Los Angeles and
southwark to Mexico.
A network of earth markings
monuments, whose position is fixed
partly by calculations based on the
stars, shows earth movement
through shifts in marker positions.
Marker observations were first
