Slaty rocks frown up- on us from every side. Slaty debris, dry or wet, is beneath our feet. Blue, black and purple, the beds seem to bend in every direction yet without those con- tortions whichare characteris- tic of metamorphic rocks; and if we trace out any particular bed, we are sure, after a short distance, to find it end in a frac- ture, where some other nock, very similar, but not the same, takes its place, The similarity of all these rocks is so great that geologists were for many decades unable satisfactorily to determine their relations. Now, a man in a shop, with piles of books about him, Issued at various dates, and wishing to classify them chron- ologically, would impress on each some little mark or sign, to enable him correctly to cor- relate each pile. That is what Nature has done with these slates and shales. She has mark- ed them, with impressions very much like those of a pencil, a different set of impressions are for each division of time. The impressions, are of small ani- mals that once swam in the sea, They are confined rather rig- idly, each one to aspecific age;. and their discovery has made possible the elucidation of a con- siderable part of the world's history.The rocks that they oc- cupy lie upon Cambrian or old- er formations; sometimes, by transition upwards, indicating a gradual change from the one age to the next; sometimes there la a sharp break, indicating that the ancient land had been up- lifted, worn down, and again • depressed, ere the new age came in. In general, the Age of Mud commenced with a further de- pression of the sea bottom; for in place of the coarse grits and sandstone which had accumu- lated along the early Cambrian shores, we find accumulations of finer detritus, such as would be New Blouses Reduce Cost of and rin Sy DNA MILE$ Did you know that women pay more to have a blouse laun- dared because laundry machines are slotted to fit 'the buttons on a man's shirt? And women's blouses (until naw) button on the left, Newest shirt look for women. is the one that has all the vir- tues of a man's shirt. This means it buttons on the right, has stays in the collar and gussets at the side flap. It also means that the cost for laundering a blouse can now be the same as that for a man's shirt. But this doesn't mean that femininity has been sacrificed. Bow jabots, ruffled jabots and belle bows add the little -girl look to the classic shirt. Further, these bows and jabots are de- tachable so that a bask tailored shirt can be worn with Bermuda shorts or office wear. Many of the blouses that stem from the shirt offer big collars and soft detailing along with elegant fabrics. And for the blouses that are completely feminine, there are delicate in- sertions as well as pleating and tucking. Most fabrics are lightweight, crease -resistant and quick -dry- ing, requiring very little ironing. Pleated bib and French cuffs give this satinized cotton shirt a formal look, it's shown modeled with black velvet pants For leisure -time wear on on winter evenings, but is equally suitable and smart to wear at the office, swept away by currents and de- posited in water 100 to 200 fathoms deep, Starting our examination of this mud in Wales, where it is, perhaps, commonest, we get a conception of low islands with muddy shores, interrupted oc- casionally by bosses of the old pre -Cambrian rocks; shallow water, with mud on the bottom and at the top, stretching across the Irish Sea, over the Dublin district, and north across south- ern Scotland and the Lake Dis- trict, Very early in the age, vol- canic Action, which had been quiescent here for perhaps a couple of million years, now burst forth again , , Islands which were probably composed entirely of lava flows, with relatively little pumice or ash, reared their heads higher and ever higher above the mud- dy waters. At a relatively early age, such a volcano same into being off Milford Haven; Skorn- er Island is its worredown stump. When at their greatest, the volcanoes we r e so active that the heart of Wales liter. ally took fire; eruptions on the grandest scale announced the birth of mountains, such as Ced- er I dris and the Moelwyns, which now form the roughgrt part of the country.—From "The World in the Past" by B. Web- ster Smith. Right Way To Wash Men's Tricot Shirts There are many men and even sdme women. who expect a nylon tricot shirt to behave like the family cat. Because the shirt can be described as "iron- ing itself," they half expect it to wash itself, too. A leading manufacturer of Men's tricot shirts and the first to develop a knitted nylon shirt with fused collar and cuffs, claims too many men buy the shirts and throw away the washing instructions, Although the company has increased -the size of the instruction card and changed its color to appeal to the masculine preferencefor blue, it is still tossed unread, in- to the waste paper basket, Actually these . shirts require only a normal amount of wash- ing care, But since they are made of a different type of fibre and fabric to most woven shirts, they call for different handling. The collar is always 90 per cent of a man's shirt. This manufacturer spent more than a year developing a satisfactory fused one. Since then he has been trying to educate every owner in the correct method of larmdering it, The only way, he says, is to lay it flat on the side of the basin and rub it freely with the fingers or the tail of the shirt, Do this also with the cuffs and other soiled areas., A bar of soap may be used, but never a brush. And never rub any part of the shirt between the hanils as though it were a dirty sock or a fabric glove. Anyone who wants her hus- band's tricot shirt to maintain its smart appearance three times longer than his best woven cotton ones, should re- sist the urge to dump it into the washing machine. The banging around it will receive from the mechanical action won't injure the body of the shirt, but it can soften the fused collar and cuffs. Always rinse a nylon shirt twice in lukewarm water. When hanging it up to drip dry, select a plastic hanger er an unvarnished wooden one. Never squeeze Or wring the water out of it as this wrinkles the fabric. Button the two top buttons and do a little "finger ironing" to smooth the collar and cuffs while they are still damp. , Lottery Primo Worth 150, Woos It's very difficult when you win a large sum of money without knowing what money means. A native in the Solomon Islands was recently persuaded to "buy a ticket in the New South Wales State lottery. Later, the results were an- nounced. The native had won a first prize -- a fortune of around $18,000, He seemed un- able to grasp the significance of what had happened. Goods. not money, were the yardstick of affluence within his little com- munity. Then someone explained it to him this way; What is a very valuable possession? A. wife. One wife, in the local scale of values in the native's cam- munity, is worth about $120. Therefore, the first prize an the lottery was the equivalent of 150 wives, On hearing this, the native jumped for joy, and asked ex- citedly where and when he Mild collect the "goods," Not Unlucky — Lovely Monique Lambert will never believe that "13" is an unlucky number, She wore the number during the contest to select the French re- presentative for the Miss Uni- verse contest. The 17 -year-old Parisian model won, Out of the Ashes, a Ten years ago, newspapers throughout the country were carry- ing headlines about one of the worst disasters ever to hit a crowded city — the East Ohio Gas Co. explosion. A 25 -million - horsepower blow was concentrated in half a square mile near central Cleveland. But out of the jumble of bricks and ashes that resulted whet a million and a half cubic feet of liquefied gas blew up, a model community has risen. At 2:30 P.M., Oct. 20, 1944, a crack opened in a giant tank used for storing gas under pressure. With a flame which flashed 2800 feet in the air, It blew. Waves of 2000 -degree heat killed 131 persons, injured more than 400, destroyed 87 buildings. An adjoining tank melted and exploded. Even the pavement was afire, Since that day, a group of residents has demonstrated that disaster need not be a fatal blow and that with courage and resourcefulness, the community can be made a better place to live. Leader and inspirer was Anton Grdina, a 60 -year-old immigrant. He formed a nonprofit corporation and 26 others joined with him to buy up the seared property. Sixteen houses — modern and pleasant, on much larger lots — have been completed. Built in groups, the money from sales went back to work building more. Most are owned by people who lived there originally. Playground stands on very site of ill-fcded storage tank. el Community Rises Even birds fell flaming from sky when tank blew up in 1944, leaving this scene of chez s.
