A TREMENDOUS wall of water turned loose Into San Francis qulto canyon when the giant St. Francis dam burst under pressure of 12,000,000 gallons of water, carried more than 400 sleeping residents of the narrow valley to death. The great concrete retaining wall, 185 feet high, built less than two years ago to Impound water for the city of Los Angeles, gave way with out warning, releasing the flood upon the sleeping inhabitants of the pic turesque valley. Everything was swept away?human beings, houses, cabins, workmen's tents, orchards and live stock. Of the estimated 500 persons who were lh the narrow canyon and lowlands be low at the time the' dam gave way, only a few more than a hundred have been accounted for Property damage Is estimated at from $10,000,000 to $30,000,000. Some city officials of Los Angeles declared a preliminary examination indicated the break had been caused as the result of an earth movement or some external force. Passing motor ists and valley residents declared seeping around the buttress might have been the cause. The canyon bottom and valley were swept clear of all signs of civilization for several miles. In the silt deposit, which In some cases was 30 feet deep, remained the uncounted bodies of the victims, houses, live stock and other ruing. SUDDEN shifting of a side of Mount Serrat, located in the center of the city of .Santos, state of Sao Panlo, Brazil, crashed thousands of tons of earth and rocks without warning onto a section of that place,'and left a dead and dying toll of more than 200. Houses and buildings In the path of the slide were crumpled and burled, their occupants apparently not dis cerning the impending disaster until it was too late to escape the huge avalanche. Mourn Serrat, with a moderately high peak, la located practically In the center of Santos, Brazil's principal coffee port, with residences and busi ness buildings spread ground It on three sides. THE United States senate published the report on conditions In the bituminous fields of Pennsylvania by the subcommittee which the senate sent Into that area on an investiga tion that lasted five days. The report declared the conditions to be dangerous to public order and deplorable as to morals, housing, san itation, and general living conditions. It was unfavorable to the methods of most of the operators and It praised "the splendid courage" of the women folk of the striking miners In the face of "privations which mal^e the mothers' lot always the hardest to bear."" Legislation by congress was recom mended for the correction of chaos In the Industry which the Investiga tors said, "generally Is not In a pros perous condition In this country." "We most respectfully urge," the senators concluded, "that the Investi gation by the whole Interstate com merce committee of the senate be searching and severe In every detail, looking forward to some solution by legislation that will put the great coal Industry of America on a reasonably prosperous basis." WILLIAM M. BUTLER, chairman of.the Republican national com mittee, denied that he received or handled any part of the $200,000 In Continental Trading company Liberty bonds advanced by Harry P. Sinclair to help wipe ont the committee's 1920 Presidential campaign deficit. Butler'b denial was made public al most simultaneously with the text of a letter in which 8enator Borah (Rep, Idaho), called upon Bntler to lead the Republican party In a move "to dear Engineer Working on Flood-Control Plana Undeterred by an apparently cool reception by the bouse and senate flood committees, Carroll L Rlker. re tired engineer. Is constructing a model of the plan of flood control of the Mississippi valley which he presented orally to the two committees several weeks ago. The basement of the senate eOee ball ding at the capital Is the *m of the swdei ball ding activity, and whan Itself of the humiliating stigma" placed upon it by acceptance of Sin clair's campaign contribution. The letter suggested that Butler would have only to make the appeal and thousands of honest Republicans would willingly contribute "from one dollar up to any reasonable sum" In order that the money advanced to the party's war chest by Sinclair out of the same fund he used to pay Albert B. Fall, former secretary of the Inte rior, for the Teapot Dome naval oil reserve might be returned. THE White-Norris constitutional amendment to abolish "lame duck" sessions of congress, and change the Presidential Inaugural date was rejected by the bouse. The vote was 209 to 157, with two members answer ing present. This was' 38 votea less than the two-thirds necessary for ap proval of constitutional amendments. The amendment sought to change the meeting date of congress from March 4 to January 4. This would have abolished the "lame duck" ses sions of congress, or those In which sit members who were defeated at earlier elections. To conform with this change, the resolution proposed to have the President take office on January 24, Instead of March 4. SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY Mellon informed the senate Tea pot Dome committee that he received $50,000 of the $200,000 of Liberty bonds which Harry F. Sinclair ad-, vaneed to cover port of the deficit of the Republican national commit tee in 1023, but that he had refused to retain the bends in exchange for a like contribution. The treasury secretary disclosed that the bonds bad been sent to him by Will H. Hays, former chairman of the Republican committee, and that, when Mays subsequently called on him to explain his purpose, he had declined to keep them as suggested. He added that he had returned the bonds to Hays and shortly thereafter made a contribution In the same amount from bis own funds. AFEVEIUSH day on the New York stock exchange March 9 saw the sale of 3,706,500 shares, Gen eral Motors being principally Involved. The market closed with General Motors at 161. The following day the market was checked at 156, bat General Motors had regained more than a point at the close. Several things canoed the orgy of speculation: A decrease of $26,000,000 In brokers' loans, removing the likelihood of the Federal Reserve bank board Immedi ately raising the discount rate; a widespread feeling that General Mo tors will be able to compete success fully with the new Ford, and the news that the Managers' Security company, owned by General Motors executives, had bought 200.000 shares of stock, reflecting the confidence of j the executives In the continued pros perity of the concern. THE coal Industry held attention during the week as the senate's committee continued Its Investigation. John L. Lewis, president of the Dnlt Mlne Workers, testified that In his belief laws should be passed to per mit the closing of uneconomic mines, to prevent railroads from exploiting mines by their Insistence upon cheap coal, and to curb the use of Injunc tions In labor disputes. W. G. Ward en, head of the Pittsburgh Coal com pany, attacked the union ou the wit ness stand. He said be believed In democracy In government but In a "benevolent despotism" for business. An attorney for the onion miners | charged that the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ were planning a report to "whitewash" the operators of blame In the present strike and Its consequences. ( <j Rodman wanamaker of New York and Philadelphia died March '9. He was reported to be the most heavily Insured own In the United States. Policies oo his life totaled $7c 500.000. Us was one of the foremost star chants of the world. He Inherited the widely known Wanamaker stores In New York, Philadelphia and Paris from his famous father, the late John Wanamaker. Long known as an avia tloo enthusiast, he gained bis chief tamo alone that line by backing the It Is finished a subcommittee ap pointed for the purpose will view It The committee Is composed of Repre sentatives Gayer of Kansas, Cock ran of Pennsylvania and Major of Illi nois. Hiker's plan, as explained to the two eommltteea, calls for a channel three miles wide from Cairo. DL, to the Oulf of Mexico, Hading Its outlet below New Iberia and west of Prank tin. La. The channel wenld be ap proximately 690 nlles lug, whcrvti the MMaalppI la Its uwaadertaga la I successful flight of Commander Rich ard E. Byrd to France last summer. At the time It was said he had spent $500,000 on proposed transatlantic flights, ahout half of that amount be ing for the Byrd expedition. American legion officials are mobilizing their forces for what Is heralded as the greatest peacetime offensive ever attempted In tbla coun try In the Interest of legislation pro viding for the universal drafting of man power and the control of labor and Industry In the event of another war. Backed by Secretary of War Davis and many high array officials, the for mer service men of the nation will make their seventh effort since the war to convince congress and the American people that steps should be taken In peace time to guarantee the President the widest dictatorial pow ers In case of another national emer gency. A PROVISIONAL estimate by the census bureau placed the popula tion of the United States as of July 1, 1028, at 120,013,000, an Increase of 14 per cent over the 106,710,620 actual count on January 1, 1020. The next federal census will not be taken be fore 1930. The new total was arrived at by estimating the Increase since 1920 on the basis of the best available returns on births, deaths. Immigration and emigration. THE automobile Industry Is per turbed over the realization that It may be forced to pay a certain wheel maker upward of $300,000,000 "for us ing wheels on automobiles. A patent granted to Edward P. Cowles, of Sparta, Mich., In 1914, on Interchange able wheels gives the manufacturer who today owns Its license rights the authority to make this huge collection from the Industry, In the opinion of many lawyers. PLANS for breaking down all ob structions to American supervis ion of the Nlcaraguan elections nekt October have been nnder preparation at the State department following conferences between Secretary of State Kellogg and ^Senator Borah (Dep., Idaho), chairman of the senate foreign relations committee. American officials. It Is asserted, are determined to carry out their pledge and give the Kicaraguan peo ple a fair election. Opinions expressed Indicate the administration Is pre pared to furnish such marine forces as are necessary. P'RMIDABLE naval preparations were announced In the Italian chamber of deputies by Admiral Slrl annl of the Italian admiralty. Italy now has nnder construction one bil lion four hundred million lire ($73. 020,000) worth of armed vessels, which Include two 10,000-ton cruisers and twelve submarines, started under the 1024 program, the admiral revealed. All these will be In operation within two years. This year's program In cludes two new cruisers, four de stroyers, and four submarines, he said. JONATHAN DIXON MAXWELL, pioneer automobile manufacturer and one of the three men who built the machine now preserved In the Smithsonian Institution, believed to have been the first automobile, la dead. Mr. Maxwell, whose name was given to the Maxwell automobile originated by him and manufactured by the com pany of which he was president, was associated with Elmer Apperson and El wood Ilalnes In building the ma chine believed to have been the pre decessor of the modern automobile. AOglN the attempted conquest of the western passage of the North Atlantic by aviation has failed and CapL Walter Hlnchclllfe and VIlas Elsie Mackay, who set out from an English airdrome for a flight to Amer ica. went down somewhere In the At? lantlc.

C) ALTHOUGH It may be true that the principal sblp laoea of the ocean are almost as definitely traveled and marked as a Lin coln highway or a Long Irland boule vard, our knowledge of the bounding main Is only fragmentary. To begin with, the area pf the sea Is about three times as large as that of the land. Although as long ago as 1004 the governments of the civilized world had got together some 25,000,000 observations of every kind and son from the logs of merchantmen, war ships, and government vessels, and al though the remits of a single expedi tion liive filled over 50 massive quarto volumes, what we know about the sea Is but the primer of the things It has to reveal. The most Impressive thing about the sea is its shallowness as compared with the size of the eanh, and Its depth as compared with the height of the land. If yon were to tuke a globe six feet In diameter and excavate the deepest trench of the ocean thereon. It would be a bare pin scratch deep? about one-twentletb of an Inch. And yet so profound are the depths of the sea that the bulk of the water In It Is 15 times as great as the bulk of the land that rises above Its waves. In Its deepest trench the tallest moun tain on the fnce of the globe could be burled and ships could rtlll pass over the spot with a half mile of water under them. The average depth of the ocean U more than two miles?about 12,480 feet, the oceanograpliers estimate. Ou the other, hand, the average height of the land Is lea* than half a utile? nbonl 2.2.10 feet llow much further beneath the waves the sea bottom lies than the land crest above them Is shown by the fact that while only 1 per cent of the land rises to an alti tude of 12.000 feeti 4(1 per cent of the ocean's floor llee under more than 12, 000 feet of water. The relative height of the land sur face and the sea bottom Is about In keeping with their relative areas, there being 71 acres occupied by the sou for every 20 held by the land. If It were possible to drain ofT the upper 10,000 feet of the waters of the ?eu and to lay bare the floor that lies un der It, the territory thus recovered, added to the land now above the sea. would give only a fifty-fifty division between land and water. Broad Continental Shelf. The oceans as we know them are larger than the true oceun basis At a monument Is always planted on a base. sA the continent* have broad under-sea bases upon which to rest To the oceanograpliers there Is a line known as the 100-falhnm line, which largely parallels the shore line, bat which Is sometimes as much as several hundred miles out to sea. When that line Is reached the bottom suddenly begins to slope down Coward the abysmal depth*. The floor lying landward from this line Is known as tha continental shelf, and It Is upon this broad shelf, with an aggregate area three times a* large as that of the United States, that the continents are planted. Dy overflow ing this vast area of slightly sob merged territory, the oceans gather onto themselves 10.000.000 square miles of territory thai In elevatloo be longs mora to tha land than to the sea. Af a matter of fact, tha continental shelf lies In part under water and In part above, the part above being the alluvial plains of tha continents. Where these plains are broad tha shelf usually Is broad, and where (bey are narrow the shelf Is ususlly nar row. Tor Instance, the plain on our Atlantic coast Is broad, and there Is a corresponding breadth to the con tinental shelf. On tha Pacific coast tha alluvial plain I* vary narrow, and tha 100-fathom Una Is correspondingly clone to shore. From a practical standpoint, the part of the sea of most Immediate In terest to man Is that wblcb rests opun tha continental shelf. Hera are situ ated all the seaboard dtlea. Wher ever the ocean lanes may meander ap and down the briny deep, they begin on tfbe continental shelf and and there. But for that shelf there would be do hays or gulfs, do harbors und do baveos, for the boundaries of the true ocean basins are Infinitely more regular SDd leas Indented than the shorelines. Ocean bound commerce would be easily Inconvenienced if it bad to dispense with all the ad vantages that the continental shelf brings to It. Saa Food gn Important Question. A matter that seems destined to occupy a larger place In oceanographic research 1s the question of sea food. The World war demonstrated how close is the margin between food pro duction and food consumption, and hew much more pressing the food question Is destined to grow In the years of peace and ruclal expansion that Ue ahead. ' The oceans literally teem with food. The man who declared that humanity is a race of herrtng-calrhere might have overstated the case, but that the tea abounds In food fishes and fishes lit for food is well known. As soon ss we begin to study the subject of ocean fisheries, however, we come up short against the fact that what we really know about the Inhabitants of the sea Is slartllngly limited. Another phase of oceanography that will demand and receive close atten tion In the years to come Is the ocean currents. The effect ' of ttiese great rivers of the sea upon Ihe welfare of the human rare Is past Imagination. il is nam Hint Ihe t.ulf stream carries enough 1irai toward Furope every 24 houra to melt a nmae of Iron as large as Mount Washington. Rear Admiral Plltsbory. describing this remarkable river of the sea. says that every hour there passes through Hie straits of Florida the enormous total of HO.INHMJIXMIOO tons of water, carrying enough salt to load many times over every ship that rails the main. Through these straits the stream la 40 miles wide. In eneh of the four quarters of the globe there Is a wonderful circulatory system?the heavy, cold waters of the polar sens rushing equutorward. and the light warm wuters of tropic oceans sweeping hack, giving a huge swirl not unlike Ihe motion of water driven amund tfie bottom of a basin by the hnnd. * Puzzle of the Ocean Currents. Vessels and debris caught In these currents often play uncanny tricks. In 1BOO the Stanley Hollar, an American freighter, went nimti the rocks at the entrance to Yokohama bay. Iter life preservers were washed out as she lay upon the beach npon whleh she was run to preveut her sinking. In 1011 two of Iter II fe preservers were picked up on the shores of the Shetland Islands, mirth of Scotland. Ilow they reached there Is one of the puzzling questions that so often arise nnent the sea. Did they sweep up the Asiatic coast, through Retiring strait, and then through the Northwest Pas sage and Ratlin hay. and thence by Iceland to the Shetland Islands? Or did they, after floating through the Northwest Passage, get lolo the Polar current and sweep down the Atlantic to the point where that ocean river dives nnder the Gulf stream, to be picked up there by the latter cur rent and carried (o the Shetland Is lands? It has often been urged that the American Indian came to the shores of the New world an unwilling voy ager oa the bosom of Hie Jspno ear rent, Certain II la that all of thesa vavt rivers of the ocean hive played an Incalculably Important role In the | affairs of the human race, sad that ? moro exhaustive study of them than has been made holds many revelations In store. One of the questions tbst Is often neked Is whether a ship, sinking lu deep water, goes to tlie bottom, or whether she Rods her level In some vertical daplfeeeone and drifts on for ever. This question sprang Into great prominence when the Titanic srent down, and was asked freqoently dur ing the World war. The answer la. she goes directly to the bottom, else bow could ? dredge or a trawl he I sent down flea mil em. f^^CATE^n I RENDERED \ | FIRST AID | t? ?v D. t. w?uh.> KATE AHUNDALE stood oo the platform of tbe small station lookloc after tbe departing train from wblcb the bad lust alighted. What a fool sbe.bad been to leave elrlllsatioa?tbe safe comfort able civilization to wblcb sbe bad been accustomed all ber life?to come West to marry ber brother's friend, Aaron Ward. For, after all, what did she really know about Aaron Ward tare that be was ber brother's friend and partner In tbe big ranch? And aa for her brother Joe. be was almost a stran ger, too. Joe bad left borne for tbe West when Kate was sixteen, and bad been home only once tinee, and that was last year when be came East to help settle op their father's estate. Joe was thirty-eight and bad not mar ried. While Aaron was twenty-six, two years older than Kate. Joe Aruodafe bad bee. a teacher in an Eastern college until be bad de veloped some trouble with bis longs and bad been advised by his physi cians to seek tbe broad open spaces of tbe Western prairie. On the train go ing West Joe bad fallen in with Aaron Ward and bis mother, who were re turning from tbe East where they bad been to bury Aaron's father. A dose friendship sprang op between tbe older man and tbe boy, and after Mrs. Ward's death, wblcb occurred soon after, Joe bought a half Interest In tbe ranch and tbe two men had lived to gethec now for several years. Through Joe's Influence Aaron and Kate had carried on a correspondence which bad resulted in Aaron's going East to see Kale. A mutual liking had resulted from the visit, and thus this trip of Kate's wblcb promised to end In marriage, or bad until utter homesickness had overtaken ber. and caused her to wish heartily sbe bad not been so basty in making this trip West. To add to ber misery tbe train bad been held up the night be for and Kate bad been obliged to give ep her money and some precious keepsakes of jewelry which had be longed to her mother. Of course sbe had been no worse off than tbe other passengers bad been, bot tbe heart ache, added to the long days oo the train and the recent parting with old fslends In ber home town, had cast a shadow so deep tbat It seemed im possible for anything ever to lighten It. As the train rushed en out of sight she turned expecting, of course, to Bod either her brother or Aaron waiting for her. But there was do one except the tall station agent who stood grave ly regarding ber, from antler shaggy I eycbrowa. "Left lo setT" be Inquired la a drowry drnnrl. Kate stared al him without under stondlng. lie gave her a friendly smile and spat at a lizard which was ambling across the platform out of the shade. "There'll be some one aloof pretty who. Joe told me you wuz coining l.lke as not his pesky car had broke down. For myself i ain't fot do ase for cars; a horse always wuz and al ways will be safer to ray notion. But none In. th?o*t stand out tEere try ing 10 absorb all the sunshine. If you stay round here long you will Hod It can t be done." Kate entered the small statloo and annk gratefully down on the long bench Just inside Ihe door. The shade was welcome after the blinding sunlight outride. About an hour later Ihe station agent came back from a fins I look out over the prairie and announced that: "That th.ir bus of Joe's U coming." And a moment later Joe drove his car aloogslde Ihe station platform. He rushes] In and caught his sister In his arrow The greetiog on hla part was sll that might he expected from a man hungry for- the sight of rome of his or n people. Bui with Kate It was different; the was more reserved, fur she was clinging desperately tn her de termination 10 return lisst as soon an she could drrently get awpy. "I had 10 come alone Kate." Joe said apologetically at tbey set forth. "The sheriff came for Aaron early this morning lo go after cattle thieves. He had no choice In the matter bat to go. We have been having altogether ton mucb rustling round here lately and the ranchmen got together last week and determined to put a atop tn U. I don't know when tbey wlU btt bark from the raid." They Jolted on In silence for so(pe miles, each busy with bis own thoughts. Suddenly Joe turned and looked at. Kate and at I be look of dumb misery in the girl a eyes be said: "I know all about It. Kata. This Is too big a ebange for you. I?we rhould bare known better than to aafc It of you. Aaron la a good fellow and I am aura be will aet hold yon to any j promise you have made.

Try to reet all 70a can until I get 700 to a place where 70a can really rest." Joe, though apparently absorbed la his driving, was In reality going ore* and over bis disappointment and It lag In advance the heartache of Aaron when be had to tell the boy ef Kate's decision.
