That Gov. Roosevelt's candidacy for President would be enhanced by the discovery that Mayor Walker has been guilty of wrong-diong as Mayor is the opinion of many in New York City, accord- ing to the independent New York World-Telegram. Discussing the situation, the World-Telegram re- cently said: While the possibility of Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt removing Mayor James J. Walker is being discussed by Tammany, Ed- ward J. Flynn, Bronx Democratic leader, is in prospect of becoming the most im- portant of the five New York City leaders. If the Mayor is removed, Aldermanic Presi- dent Joseph V. McKee automatically will become Mayor and Mr. Flynn is leader of his district. Should Mr. McKee become Mayor next January 1, it would mean the return to influence in city matters of Alfred E. Smith. Although Mr. Flynn is an ardent advocate of the nomination of Gov. Roosevelt, he is classified as a Smith adherent in muni- cipal matters. There would be an election for Mayor in November for the remainder of the . term and Tammany could not deny Mr. McKee the nomination it is believed. If elected, Mr. McKee would want the nom- ination for the four-year term in 1933. Tammany had thought that action on possible charges by Samuel Seabury against the Mayor might be delayed until after the National Convention, to which Mayor Walker Iras been elected as a delegate at large. It had been believed that the Mayor would have thirty days in which to answer any charges, but this was a mistake. The charter provides that, pending the inves- tigation of charges against the Mayor, the Governor may suspend him for thirty days. The Governor fixes the time for the hearing of the charges. In consequence of this it now is believed that if Mr. Seabury submitted charges to the Governor within the next few weeks the Governor would act upon them before going to the convention. . No one has any doubts that if the Gov- ernor finds anything lax in Mr. Walker's administration of the affairs of this city he will remove him as summarily as he did Thomas M. Farley from the office of Sheriff. If* Mr. Walker were no longer Mayor it is thought that Gov. Roosevelt’s chances of getting Tammany support at the Na- tional Convention would be considerably en- hanced. It is believed that but for Mayor Walker’s veto Tammany Chieftain John F. Curry would have declared for the nom- ination of the Governor some time ago. RED CROSS AIDS FILIPINOS. A. L. Schafer, Manager of the Pacific Branch, American Red Cross, advises that the American National Red Cross has cabled $5,000 to the Philip- pine Islands Red Cross Chapter at Manila to be in advance, {used in relief of victims of a typhoon which almost | devastated Jolo and other islands on April 29. The |Manila Chapter had rushed two boat loads of food- two medical units to Jolo immediately upon hearing of the disaster. Governor - General Theodore Roosevelt reported about 100 persons were killed, fruits and trees de- |stroyed, and fifty per cent. of the rice crops ruined. {About 140,000 persons are affected in the disaster area. |stuffs and | WHY WORRY? There is not a little speculation these days as to whether the troubles of Mayor Walker and a few other New York City officials will react against |the Democratic Party in the elections next Novem- ber.

Piggott, of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, of un- usually large amoynts of radium in rock specimens dredged from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. Not jthat any one hopes to extract this radium, for the percentage in the rocks is so small that even were )Lhese strata exposed on the land extraction would ;be unthinkable. The significance of the discovery {is the light that it sheds on the theory of heat {sources underneath the earth’s crust and the sus- picion held by many geologists of the profound |effects of these hidden heat sources on the past and |future history of the planet. | One of the things that radium does is to emit energy, which is converted ultimately into heat. For bits of radium exposed in laboratories or for radium contained in surface rocks, this matters little. Such exposed specimens do keep their tem- |peratures a tiny fraction of a degree higher than that of their surroundings, but the difference is too small to be important. It is different when the radium stove, so to speak, is wrapped in a blanket forty or fifty miles thick, which is precisely the cir- |cumstances of any rocks containing radium and |buried that deep in the crust of the earth. If radium is present in these deeper rocks, the planet is like a steam boiler heated continually and from which neither steam nor any other form of heat is being removed. Sooner or later such a boiler will explode; and that, scientists believe, is what must happen also to the earth. One distinguished geologist, Professor John Joly of the University of Dublin, believes that this is {what does happen, every 300,000,000 years or so; that the earth’s crust does blow up periodisally and that thesz geologic revolutions explain some of the vicis- situdes of earth history of which the rocks bear record. Another idea is that the periodic explosion of the radium heat pent underneath the upper crust is avoided by slow sliding movement of the continents, so that the overheated rocks come, before it is too late, to be exposed at the bottom of the ocean where the circulation of the cold ocean water cools them. The whole theory has rested, however, on inadequate facts, since no one was really certain that any radium exists in the deeper rocks of the crust or in those exposed at the bottom of the sea. That, doubtless, is why Dr. Piggott selected these Pacific samples for his tests, and it is for these theories of crustal explosion, past or future, that the data will be chiefly significant.

Geor- gie, to hold her job, has pre- tended Jenny is married. Mr. Matching suspects her, and also wonders why his nephew Garth and Jenny are quarreling. Townsend has been recovering from an accident. CHAPTER 28. GEORGIE’'S CHOICE At first Georgie thought tha: Eddie was looking for her but he hurried straight down—down and |down, stumbling and sliding—and the next moment she heard Gill's slow voice. “Hello, Ed.” “Oh, hello, Gill!” Eddie's voice was slow too, in spite of the fran- |tic hurrying of his feet. “I—got a bit tired of my own company. Say, it'll be a long time before Miss Jenny is back, won't it?" “Only just gone,” remarked Gill after long thought. “S'pose s0.” [Eddie sighed and | shuffled. “I got—lonesome. Want a match, too. Couldn't find any matches.” Georgie leaned over the bannis- ters and peered down. At the bottom of the well, in the hall of the building, Eddie was lighting a cigarette while Gill stood silent- Iy by. As though the first few whiffs steadied him, he presently turned and ascended the stairs again. “There’s a chair for you in the |office,” Gill called after him, in a burst of garrulity; but Eddie plodded on and up. Exactly, thought Georgie, as the, herself had plodded, every step an effort. “We're both frightened, frightened at everything—and, oh, it's such a heartbreaking pity when we were going to be so happy!” she said aloud. But she had no more time for sorrow. She went firmly back to the apartment. She sang persistently and cheer- fully as she burst into her bedroom and threw her hat on the bed. She had left all doors open behind her and she could hear Eddie’s hes- itating return. “That you, dear boy.
