DALLAS, Tex., June 4.(/P)—A
scientist’s belief in a great bot

finders of the Wilkins submarine
at the North Pole this summer.
The existence of this hole is ar

who holds the degree of Ph. D. and
is professor of geology at South
ern Methodist University here.
The hole takes a zig-zag cours®
through the crust and from there
on continues in a straight line to
the center of the earth, he holds,
bringing upwelling water which is
fe dto it from huge fissures lo- j
cated at the bottoms of the great
ocean “deeps” north and south of
the equator. These fissures con
verge at the earth’s center.
Similar at South Pole
Water rises similarly in con
duits under the south pole, proba
bly emptying into the bottom of
Weddell and Ross seas, Dr. Meents
says. He accounts for the polar
upwelling and the equatorial sink
ing by the 26-mile flattening of
the earth at the poles, which
causes a difference in hydrostatic
pressure.
Dr. Meents bases his belief upon j
study of ocean currents. He hasj
written a paper to show why nei
ther temperature differences, sal
inity differences, winds nor earth’s
rotation account satisfactorily for j
the great ocean currents.
Asked what verification the Wil
kins expedition may find, he says:
“Judging from the oceanic phe
nomena, I would say that the con
duits are nearly one mile in diam
eter. They enlarge in a funnel
shape before they intersect the i
sea floor.
“Jumping Off Place”
“Consequently, when the Wilkins
expedition takes soundings in the
Arctic ocean, a sudden increase in
depth will be noted as the con
duit is approached, there being
a sort of ‘jumping off place’ at
the beginning of the funnel.
“The vertical drop in the con- j
duit below the Arctic ocean basis
floor may be about five miles. As
the average maximum depth of
the Arctic thus far reported is be
tween two and three miles, I
would say that soundings which
indicate a sudden increase in depth
of about two and one-half miles
to anywhere above that figure
may be accepted as those taken
within the throat of the conduit.”
There may be more than one
Arctic conduit, Dr. Meents says,
but due to the basin-like nature
of the Artie he favors “one gi
gantic somewhat circular open
ing” approximately directly under
the geographical pole.

ROCHESTER, Minn., June 4. (JP)
—The physician is as happy as the
woman who pines for more food
to hear that fashion is dictating
the return of old-fashioned curves, j
believes Dr. E. S. Judd, president- j
elect of the American Medical as- j
sociation.
Word from Paris and New York
that the boyish figure will be a
thing of the style past is the most,
heartening news of women’s fash-!
ions received for years, in his |
opinion.
“The end of starvation diets
which have helped increase tuber-;
culosis, low blood pressure and j
anemia among the women of the
United States has come with this>
news, I believe,” Dr. Judd said.
“We now will enter an era in
which a girl may hope to eat a!
square meal without a twinge of
conscience.”
