HOW ROCKS ARE FORMED
In this space. I 'have • talked of

there is another factor, the strata •
'on which all erebtteres live.' Geo10-
gists tell us ••that 'th'e earth is,' a
'• ball of rock, which. judging from
its ' weight, size,' and motion, .ie•••
.molten- in. •the interior. at. ae depth'
of about 5.0 miles, . Outside this •
hot and fluid • core are the rocks
• as we know them, in layers much
like the skin of an•,onion: • It is.
_iteliexed that__the--deepest-dawn
are the oldest and those at t'se
surface the youngest: • •
Unfortunately this holds ,true -
of only' an ideal: section; and else-
' where. twisting and folding have.
displaced the' rocks •so that. the •-
oldest , is often on • the surface.
Earthgdakes, volcanic e action,
`lo\veri'ng of the land. surfaces and
raising •of the sea bottoms have •
.,c;o.at.riibute:de tee this '.dsp1acement;.,
.So.it is'often a puzzle to find oute
the -different' ages of 'the 'rocks at •

it's a11mzi,,g how many children
In wealthy homes, and, in .homers
of average economic 'level,. 'have
little or no' home training in the
use of money,. writes pr. Garry. C.
Myers, child psychologist, Many
' children, ever, in their teens. have
money doled out t0 them wheu
they ask for it, • or force it from
their parents amid arguments and
storms of blt.ter emotions. ' •
Yri a 'well -ordered home there is
a carefully planned and operated
scheme -a definite, regular allow-
ance assigned outright. or based
on fulfillment by the child .of cer-
tain specific obligations. •
Of course the child who earns pile
oiwn, money in •a• normal situation.
as by carrying papers, may get,
the, best of training in the 'value
