That Is whether North and Bouth America actually are slipping over the surface of the earth— eliding farther and farther away from Europe and Africa as time goes on. They are, the Europeans say. And ao are Australia and Greenland and hundreds of less Important little lelanda. They are not, the Americans con tend. - ~ Bo to settle the argument the scientists are getting together and conducting one of the greatest survey# ever mado. Dr William M. Bowie, chief of the United Htates Geodetic Survey. Is in Madrid now attending an In ternational scientific conference that le making IV final arrange ments. RADIO TO BE USED Tha survey Is expected te start within a month. Major C. Z. Hodgson, acting geodetic survey chief during Bowie’s absence, believes tho tests will be, for the first time In history, vir tually 100 per cent, accurate. Thla Is because they will be con ducted by radio. "The system,” he explains. "Is to work from sums point of which wo know the exact longitude—that Is, the axact location In relation to the stars. "From thla point time signal# are flashed to other points. By checking up these signals with the stars ist the receiving points, ex act calculations can be made. "Until now we have been forced to signal by cablt and wire. This bus been a currier In the way of perfect accuracy because of tho time it takes to transmit such sig nals. Many point, too, cannot be reached by wire. "Now. by using radio, these draw backs can be overcome. The tests will encircle the entire globe. SECOND SURVEY TO FOLLOW "In a few years a second survey will be made, and the two results checked. In this way It can be de termined whether the continents are changing their relative posi tions, as the Europeans believe.” Tho theory of shifting continents Is known ns the "displacement theory," or tho “Wegener hypothe sis." Professor Arthur Wegener, di rector of the German Oceanographi cal Hurvey, Is Its leading exponent. The theory, In brief, Is: Continents are mado of com paratively light material, such as gneiss and granite. Undernenth them Is a layer of heavier material, such as basalt, on which they flout like an Ico floe on water. This underlying layer also forms tho ocean bottoms. Thousands of years ago In the eorbonlferotis period, to ba exact the continent* were all together In a single mass. Then tills mass se parated. Sections of It drifted away toward the west and toward the equator. Tho Atlantic Ocean rushed In to fill the rlfl between Europe and Africa on one side and tho two Americas on tho other. Mountain ranges like the Andes nnd Roc kies—wsre formed when the drift ing masses met resistance and buckled up. Groups of Islands were dropped off anil left behind. Just what force caused thle movement of masses Is not definite ly known. SdentlsV think there Is Kellogg'g Bran relieves mild and chronic constipation heeatiso it is ALL hran. It brings suro results.

WHO WITH OTHER AMERICAN' SCIENTISTS, DISAGREES WITH THE EURO PEAN THEORY. a normal driving force away from the poles, and this may have had something to do with It. BOWIE BAYB IT’B FAL3E Wegener holds, that at the time of the separation, there may have been other and greater forces. In fluenced by a movement of the poles. Supporting his theory Wegener points out that ls the continents could be shoved together again their coast lines would fit, like the edges of a torn piece of paper. This Is particularly true of the South American and African coast lines. Ho also points to the similar pre-hlstorle Ice movements In North America and northern Europe, to related plant and animal life In different parts of the world, to tho corresponding ages, locations and contours of mountain ranges, and to the fact that antarctic Ice, driv en by a movement of the polos, could not have once covered South America as far north as Brazil had South America then occupied Its present position. What’s more, says Wegener, the continents still aro moving. He contends astronomical observations have shown Greenland to be mov ing west at the rate of 15 meters a year. Movement of tha American conti nent has not yet been measured, but Wegener Is sure Is Is gradually shifting westward, and his Euro pean colleagues hack him up In this view. Rut Rowls Insists the "displace ment theory" Is false and he Intends to prove It. S. G. OIL COMPANIES May Bring Action Against Gulf Concern COLUMBIA, S, C.

The charm of woman Is very easily destroyed. Very often girls go hope lessly through that period of life when all her companions are lookinj for ward with eagerness and rapture to the day when they shall realize the greaten ambition of their life and be come a happy bride. You have seen her arrive at the doubtful age of 30 still with no prospect of marriage, while all her other girlhood friends are either married or about to be. It is easy to see that she doesn't attract men in the way that her chums do. but why doesn't she? What is holding her bark from the realization of every girl's dream? She has nice features, education, brains, perhaps money, but no man seems to be Interested in her. The arlwer to the question lies In the state of her health. She would be a liability instead or an asset to any man. She has broken engagements with them because she was too sick lo keep them; she has alarmed them by her nervousness, and angered them by her irritability. Regardless of her charming personality when she is well she cannot make up for her shortcom ings when she Is sick Only a few weeks ago the discover ers of the now famous St. Joseph's O. F.

Every minute of the day crowds of inter ested people pressed the railing and asked the attendant many questions about Glenburnie Girl of Indian Bridge, the wonderful Fern Crest cow that gave 33 qunrts of milk In one day w hich Was exhibited in one corner of the booth in the form of a triangle which was six feet high and six feet across the bottom. It seemed impossible to many people that one i cow would give eight gallons and a qurfrt of beautiful yellow milk as rich in butter fat as Jersey milk. In the opposite corner of the booth was a huge pyramid of golden Guernsey butter, 106 pounds in all, which was the amount made by Glenburnie Girl of Indian Bridge in 31 days The com parison of this amount of milk, 33 auarts, with the daily production of the average Georgia cow of approxi mately three quarts was a great les son in the form of a contrast. Her butter production of 106 pounds for the month was contrasted with that of the average Georgia cow which is only 15 pounds.
