GARTH MOVEMENTS OF DECADES
STUDIED BY GEODETIC SURVEY
SANTA ANA, Cal., Dec. 19. (AP)—A United
States geodetic survey party is engaged in a survey
to determine what earth movements have trans
pired in the pats two decades along the 150-mile
route extending from Santa Ana to Barstow, north
of here on the Mojave desert.
The precise levels, or sea elevations, are being
established at various points along the route, con
necting with the marks established by the last sur
T in 1906. Comparisons will determine whether
« iges have taken place as a result of earthquakes
< other disturbances.
I SORTS OF RHINE APPEAL
FOR SUPPORT FROM HOME
WIESBADEN. Dec. 19. (AP)—Since the Dawes
plan has been adopted and the French have released
their control of important railway junctions outside
of the area occupied under the Versailles Treaty,
this important resort hopes to regain much of the
tourist business it enjoyed in pre-war days.
In 1913 Wiesbaden had 200.000 visitors; last
year it had only 70,000. It not only lost its for
eign patrons because of the upset conditions of the
through train service and the many difficulties caus
ed by the extension of the French occupation, but
Germans also refused to avail themselves of the
local mineral springs because of their dislike of the
French occupation forces and their unwillingness to
patronize railways operated by the French.
All the German watering places in the French
occupied area have joined in an appeal to the Ger
man public to patronize them, and not let them fall
into bankruptcy. The Rhine steamer traffic has
again become normal. The entire Rhine area Is
hopeful that Germans will no longer avoid their
most celebrated river, merely because French, Bel
gian and English forces are occupying its shores.
IRISH SUGAR INTERESTS CAPITAL
DUBLIN, Dec. 19, (APj—The North Cork In
dustrial Development Committee is planning for the
erection of a sugar beet factory at a cost of $2,500.
000. A big financial house is reported to be will
ing to back the project on the condition that land
owners will agree to place 4,000 acres under culti
vation to sugar beets during the first year, and
8,000 in 16 succeeding years. Seeds and manures
will be supplied at cost price, and need not be paid
for until the crop is harvested.
SWEDEX READY TO SUPPLY
THE UNITED STATES WITH LUMBER
STOCKHOLM, Dec. 19, (AP)—A new and im
portant item may soon be added to the export trade
from Sweden to America, according to statements
in the press by a Swedish lumber expert, the Gov
ernment Forester, M. Juhlin-Dannfelt. who has re
turned her after an extended tour of the Uinted
States as an exchange scholar under the auspices of
the American Scandinavian Foundation.
The demands on the forest resources of America
have already become so great, says Mr. Juhlin-Dann
felt. that a lumber shortage is being increasingly
felt, especially in the Eastern States. Besides, the
long hauls from the regions of standing timber in
volve sufficiently heavy freight cahrges to make im
ports from over-seas advantageous. Consequently
a new market for Swedish lumber is opening up
and. in fact, a considerable number of shipments
have already been made to Atlantic ports. spruce,
fir and pine lumber, especially undressed materials,
sucu as lath and planks, has been absorbed easily by
the American market, and Swedish mills now look
for a big trade along this line.
25 WAGON* LOADS OF BONES
TO ENRICH FT AH UNIVERSITY
SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 19. (AP)—The world's
most unique carivan is what University of Utah -of
ficials term the recent expedition to Salt Lake City
from the Jensen, Utah, fossil quarries of 25 horse
drawn wagons loaded with the remains of prehis
toric animals which are to be assembled in the mu
seum of the institution.
Millions of years ago these monsters roamed the
earth and, with their addition, the university hopes
to have one of the most complete •museums in the
country.
In addition to the complete head of a carniver
ous dinosaur, a rarity of inestimable value, the
bones ready for shipment are those of a brontosau
rus, ceratosaurus, stegosaurus and^ diplodacus.
Plans call for each wagon to be loaded with ap
proximately 2,600 pounds of bones and drawn by
four horses. In all the total weight of the bones to
be transported is estimated at 60,000 pounds.
For some time University of Utah workers under
the direction of Dr. Earl Douglass of the Carnegie
Museum of Pittsburgh, Pa., have labored to secure
the specimen. With great industry they have
chiseled the j bones from the sandstone, coated them
with % concrete preparation and crated them.
