NEW YORK, April 26. (^—Moth
er Earth’s face is reported slipping.
Scientist have suspected it. They
are now investigating by aid of radio
which way and how much and how
deep the wrinkles are likely to be.
About 17 years ago Alfred Wege
ner, Austrailian geophysicst. advanc
, ed the theory that all the land ot
! the earth was once a single great
! continent and that North and South
I America, with smaller fragments,
| broke away and are still drifting
! westward. The theory" was ignored.
Today, according to Sumner N.
Blossom, editor of Popular Science
i Monthly, radio tests show suich
startling changes in the map of
Europe that scientists favor a test of
the Wegener theory.
It is now possible to determine lat
itude and longitude so exactly by
radio signals that a movement of only
a few feet can be detected. First
observations have been made at
scores of places on a radio net that
covers the globe, and oew observa
tions will be made at regular inter
vals.
“Since the Australian first ad
vanced his theory it has been rather
conclusively demonstrated by Dr.
William Schutte of Germany and
Professor Heim, the Swiss, that the
face of Europe is being lifted in
some spots and depressed in others,”
Blossom says.
“The Alps and the Pyrenees are
moving northward. There is a de
cided lifting of Norway and Sweden.
Northern France. Belgium and south
ern Germany are sinking—caught
where the pressure is strongest.
Bergenz, on Lake Constance, where
detailed observations have been
made, has sunk a foot in ten years.
“These facts support the theory
of drifting continents. Ocular evi
dence in support of the theory is
the fact that if the continents were
pushed together the Americas would
fit against Africa and Europe almost
as snugly as the parts of a jig-saw
puzzle.”
BIARRITZ, April 26. (^—Span
iards swarm across the French bord
er to practice the Charleston and i
Black Bottom at resorts along the
Basque Coast.
Queen Ena, of Spain, has tabooed j
both dances. Consequently the “best
people” do not do them in Spain ex
cept in private gatherings, especially
if they think there is any danger
that the court circles may hear they
have been using the forbidden steps.
In Spain, too, there is so much pre
judice against women dancing with
men to whom they are not engaged
or married that the younger element
motors whenever possible to the
freer atmosphere of French resorts.
