Shall we go back to former conditions, or will you make a perma- nent organization?” Immediately after the question there was a murmur from most of the news- paper men. Possibly some felt it not proper to try to commit Gen. Johnson about the future. Others may have laughed, because it is felt that a few Government officials, other than Gen. Johnson, wish restrictions on industry to become permanent and go farther. In any eve(‘;:‘t‘l Gen. Johnson was com- lete] p“! lgnn't think that question should receive the Bronx cheer,” he said. “I think it is a pretty intelligent question. I have said many times that the object of this act is not a long-term prop- osition. It is to see if you could im- prove the chaotic conditions that exist in some industries, and the violently fluctuating conditions due to seasonal and cyclical variations. A great many men have subscribed to the theory or fallacy that these conditions could be overcome. It is now going to be tried. The industrial recovery act permits in- dustries to come in and say what they will do to iron out destructive ten- dencles in their own groups. They will be given that opportunity. Look at the cotwn textile industry. It has been egrading labor and bringing dowa ll\nn‘ conditions. Now they think they can swing themselves out of it. One of the greatest things they have tackled was the wiping out of the sweat shops, and lots of terrible things. Now if that succeeds, and it has two years to be tried, I suppose that the good that re- mains in this act will continue and bad will die by experience. At least, we will have a chance to get away from professional conjecture and get down to whether it can be done or not. If it is good it lives, and if it is not, it will die.” ‘This would seem to make Gen. John- son’s attitude clear. He constantly speaks of the experiment as “self-gov- ermment by industry.” Much of the hesitancy among some important indus- tries to adopt codes arises from appre- hension that the present regulation will go farther and become in effect com- plete Government operntl?n of industry. This is at the bottom ol some of the present controversies. A few of the more radical in the administration may contemplate that. The major part of the administration, however, has an attitude identical with Gen. Johnson's. Some who look on from outside say that regardless of present intention, events | will push the experiment farther. A frequent surmise is that after six months or a year rising prices will Bos lead to complaints by consumers, and that this will lead the Government to | price-fixing. —_— Deaths Reported. Ella L.

SUBJECT OF STUDY & World-Wide Check to Be Made by Scientists Begin- ning on October 1. BY THOMAS R. HENRY. Are the Americas moving westward? The United States is to furnish four stations in a world-wide network which will start a two-month program cf in- tensive observations™ October 1 in an effort to find out what is happening to the crust of the earth. Two will be set up by the Naval Observatory, one in Washington and the cther in San Diego, Calif. The Coast and Geodetic Survey is sending an observer to estab- lsh a station at Honolulu. Another will be maintained by the Carnegle In- stitution at Mount Wilson, Calif. In addition, approximately 100 sta- tions will be operated by different go! ernments all over the earth. The head- quarters will be in_ Paris, where the results of all the observations are to be sent for tabulation. It is under direction of Gen. Georges Perrier, chairman of committees set up by the Internaticnal Astronomical Unicn and the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics. The chle( object will be to test the .| zo-called Wegener hyposhesis of the westward drift of continents. Accord- ing to this, the Americas actually have “floated” two miles to the westward in the past 60 vears. If this is true, the present parallels of longitude are badly out of place, with the result that time | measurements and surveyors' lines are wrong. Will Use Radio Signals. Observations were made at approxi- mately 25 staticns in 1926—including ‘Washington and San Diego. These are to be repeated this Fall and compared with the previous calculations. Be- , | sides there will be about 75 other sta- 3 | tions. At each station observations of the transit of some star will be taken every clear night and the instant of crossing the meridian recorded in local time. At the same time radio signals are to | be sent out five or six times a night from stations at Annapolis, Honolulu, | Rugby, England; Pontaise and Bor- deaux, France; Nauen, Germany; To- | kio, Saigen, French Indo-China, and | Malabar, Dutch East Indies. Each station will pick up these radio signals and record the exact time when they were received. They will be checked nst the time of star tran- sits. In this way it will be possible to determine if the parallels of longitude are moving and the direction of their movement. The primary stations in the world e ngtwcrk will be Greenwich, England; inburgh, Oslo, Brussels, Strassburg, Powdun Milan, Florence, Madrid, Athens, Cape Town, Alglers, Hsara, Egypt; Helwan, Arabia; Mogadocio, East Africa; Nossi Be. Madagasca Colombo, Sum: Dehra Dun, India ‘Tckio, S8hanghai, Hong Kong, Manilla, lebu’ll Dutch East Indies; Adelaide, Melbourne. Sidney and Wellington; Honolulu, San Diego and W . These were in operation in 1926. Greenland Station Important. The numerous other staticns will rerve as checks. One of the most im- portant is being set up by Denmark at Kornock, Southeast Greenland. Canada is setting up two at Vancouver and Ottawa. There will be others at Buenos Aires and Montevideo. Obser- vations at the Greenland station will be received with special interest, because it is on the supposed movements of that Arctic land mass that the Wege- ner hypothesis was established. There has been some ?uesuon of the accuracy of the observati The Wegener hypothesis maintains that up to comparatively recent geo- logical time the dry land parts of the earth were combined in one great land mass, of which the present Eurasia was the nucleus. Then, it is maintained, in some great catastrophic movement the other continents were split off and | commenced to drift like bcats in a sea of underlying rock. They may be still drifting a few inches a year. The drift supposedly is s0 small, however, that it could not possibly be detected without instantaneous transmission of radio signals. Some curious differences in time records have been found in various parts of the world which might be explained by the drift hypothesis. An effort also will be made to de- termine whether there is an appreciable difference in the time of transmission of short wave radfo signals, depending | on the height of the heavily fonized strata of the atmosphere known as the Heavyside layer. Each observer will carry on his work entirely independently, not knowing how many of his collaborators have been able to take observations on the same night. The observations will con- tinue for 61 nights. After the reports are made it is expected that approxi- mately three months will be required to tabulate the results and fit the differ- ent parts of the puzzle together. % OU would be surprised, Moriarty,” said Detec- tive Willing, “how many women have been in g here registering complaints lately against prominent business men in Cincinnati.” “How come?” asked Moriarty of the Telegraph. “Well, the day you played up [ORACE EDWARD, oeloved hiusb lcnlocl).unb;r lgn-u and devoted father Barnett.
