INNAVAL VOVAGE Expodition of §-31 Along Coast I8 Important Washington, Oct. 12.—(UP—How science looks far into the future while pursuing little abstract details of nature’s inconceivably complicat- ed mechanism is illustrated by lhe‘ two-months' cruise undertaken by the naval submarine 8-21 along the Atlantic coast and into the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean sea. The immediate objective of the trip is to enable a group of sci- entists to measure variations in the force of gravity along the American coptinental shelf and other waters in which the submarine will oper- ate, including the mysterious areas of great depth known as Nares Deep, near Porte Rico, Bartlett Deep, | south of Cuba, and Sigsbee Déep, in the gulf. Ultimately these gravity deter. minations, varying with differences in altitude and longitude and in the density and stresses in the earth's crust, are expected to be made over practically its entire surface. When that is accomplished science will be closer to an exact knowledge of the figure of the earth and of the compo- sition and condition of its crust, which is assumed by geodesists to extend 75 or 80 miles inward to the relatively more stable core. With this and related informa- tion it will then have, in the words of a naval ohservatory expert, “a more accurate ‘yardstick’ to measure the distance to the sun and stars, a means . perhaps of predicting earth- quakes with some assurance, an agency for tracing valuable mineral deposits under water and data upon | which - new discoveries valuable to human welfare may be revealed.” The scientific work of the expe- dition {s being done by Dr. F. A.| Vening Meinesz of Holland, an au- | thority on gravity determination at | sea; Dr. Fred E. Wright, geo-| physicist of the Carnegie Institution | of Washington, which after consul- tation with the navy department in- vited the Dutch scientist to America, | and Elmer B. Collins of the navy's hydrographic office. 1t is being accomplished with ap- paratus developed by Dr. Meinesz. This massive Dutchman, ¢ 1-2 feét tall, already has made & number of observations in submarines sent out By his own government between the Netherlands and the Dutch East Indies and, on one voyage which consumed 199 days, from Holland through the Panama canal to! Sumatra. His instrument is designed to| overcome the difficulty which has | made it impossible even in subma- | rines to make gravity determina- | tions at sea with the apparatus used | on land. Instead of a single pendu- | lum, the swings of which are timed | to a ten-millionth of a second, he uses three hung from little bars, or “knife.edges,” in such a way that the effect on each of the slight rolling motion of a submarine 60 to 100 feet under the surface of the sea will be offset by its effect on the others. The record of each observation is obtained by the use of mirrors on the tops of the pendulums, which re- flect beams of light through prisms into the lens of a camera. At the same time variations in the tempera- ture of the pendulum chamber are similarly recorded, and the precise measurement of the time of the | swings, which speed up with Increase |, In gravity and slow down with its decline, is ceptrolled by cavefully adjusted chonometers electrically operating little shuters to cut off the light at fixed intervals. These chronometers are checked sgainst the rythmic time signals broadcast from the naval observa- tory here through the Annapolis radiostation, and the depth and con- tour of the ocean bed beneath the points of gravity observation s measuped with a sonic depth re- cordcr. The pendulum apparatus is of such small dimensions— about secen cubje feet—that it can be oper. ated succeasfully in the control room s one of the most cengested struct- ures devised for use of man. JUDSON-WOLFSOHN 10 MERGE MUSIC BUREAUS | Will Be First Application of “Big Busineas” Methods to Concert Stage New York, Oct. 13 UP—The first application of “big business” meth- ods to the concert stage is seen in the announcement that the Arthur Judson concert bureau would absorb the Wolfsohn Musical Bureau, Inc., thereby bringing under one manage- ment the direction of numerous fa- mous musical organizations and mu- siclans. Radio appearances of many noted stars also will be controlled by the new organization. Direction of the New York Phil- harmonic-8ymphony and the Phila- delphia Symphony orchestras, the London string quartet and other in- strumental groups comes under a single management. The Wolfsohn Bureau, founded forty years ago, was the pioneer concert manage- Ca you has intreduced many musicians. The Judsgn Bureau was opened here six yoars ago. Stars whose appesrances will be under the direction of the new bu- reau, to be called Coffcert Manage- ment, Arthur Judson, Inc., include: Albert Spaulding, Joss! Hofmann, Reinald Werrenrath, Mary Lewis, Feodor Challapin, Sophle Brasiau, Efrem Zibalist, and Giovannl Mar- tinelli. r Fruit Crop ts in Price Drop Chicage, Oct. 12.—UP—AD apple a day may Reep the doctor away, but two apples per diem would suit the fruit growers, with 100,000,000 bushels ready to market a great deal better. The government bureau of agri- cultural economics today pointed out that bumper crops of fruit have re- sulted in a consequent price drop. In West Virginia, for examplé the aver. age price to farmers is $0 cents & | bushel, compared with $1.60 last !year. Record-breaking crops of | peaches pears and grapes are given as the chief reason for apples being’ bargains this fall. Use more dishés You can have them—a wonderful China dinner set.

Doctor Apinl’t Knowledge of Cancer Boston, Oct. 12 UP—S8ir Charles Ballance of London, speaking on the nature of cancer at last night's ses- sion of the convention here of the American College of Surgery, de- clared that he does not favor pub- lic education concerning the nature of cancer. Bir Charles streased the importance of early diagnosis but said he opposed public education “concerning a disease which - the layman canmot possibly undewstand and which he almost always associ- ates with fear and death.” tor Edward 1, Edwards of New Jer- sey has accused the Asti.Saloon League of “graft, fraud and dicta- tion” in an article which will appear in.the November lssue of “Plain Talk.” “I accuse the Anti-Saloon League of creating a super-government, re- sponsible to no power but ftself, of dictating to presidents of the United States, of making the appoiatments of federal judges, United States dis- trict attorneys, United States mar- shals, cuistoms agents and federal prohibition agents,” Edwards writes. “I accuse it ot setting up prejudi- clal tribunes to deprive cities of their legal rights, of railroading its PROGRESSIVE DIAMOND SALE diamond ring you have long wished Immediate delivery of article pur- chased on credit.
