A colored preacher down south was
trying to explain the fury of bell to
his congregation.
'You all 'as seen molten iron run
nin' out from a furnace, ain't you?"
he asked.'
The congregation said it had.
"Well," , the preacher continued,
"dey uses dat stuff fo' ice cream in

and you will know
ON•E of the most spectacular achieve
rnents in automotive history is the
manner in which today's "Bigger and
Better" Chevrolet is increasing its margin
of leadership as the world's largest builder
of automobiles.
Come, take a ride! Learn the teasorts *hypeople
prefer Chevrolet.
Know Chevrolet performance! Wherever hills
are steepest, the fame of the Chevrolet motor is
k"aatest--because it is built on the valve -in -head
principle, whichprovides all the power advan-
tages of overhead direct firing.
Chevrolet's delightful smoothness is achieved
by the use of invar-strut alloy pistons, and by
the accurate balancing of reciprocating parts.
;Chevrolet flashes out and away when you open
the throttle because it offers the advantages of
light irrvar=strut pistons, large valves, and car-
buretor equipped with an acceleration well.
Come, take a ride -today! ire=ts•s-.ac

Miss Stella Neathery is leaving this
week for the West., where she.has
been teaching for some years:
Did this visitor strike the earth
with force sufficient to dig a'crater
more than three-quarters of a mile
in diameter and several hundred Peet
deep; to upturn hundred's of feet or
solid sedimentary rocks; to reduce.
some of these rocks to `an almost
impalpable powder; to hurl out of
the crater 150,000,000 tons or more
of crushed and shattered sandstone
and limestone, such debris• forming
a "rim" 130 feet or more in height
above the surrounding plain, an
equal amounts falling back into the
crater •
-These are questions which have
engaged `•the ' attention of` men of
science for more than a third of a
century; questions which, it is hop-
ed,, will. be definitely decided. in the
near future.
But before discussing possible.
theories, Mr. llinhinnick proceed; to
. set. down the facts concerning which
he believes there is absolutely'no: dis-
pute._ He writes:
'In North Central Arizona, not far
frons the town of Winslow, on the
main line of the Santa Fe Railroard,.
and close to the famous Canyon Di-
ablo, there is'a'curious crater, pr'de-
pression, 3,950 feet in one diameter
and 4,150, feet in the other, sur-
rounded by a "rim'' which rises ap-
proximately I30 feet above the level
plain, 'and which has a. depth of
nearly 600 feet from the top of the
rim, although this is much' less than
the' original deptiz.
There is not"the slightest trace e
voleanie activfty within many miles
of the crater.
The rock strata, everywhere erse
horizontal, are tremendously ape.
heaved Sandi discarded, and ••are all
tilted up se as to slope • away from
the crater. In two places. they are
practically vertica=l, as between
these places there is an uplifted
arch, half a Mlle long; along; the
southern wall of the crater..
The plain surrounding the crater
is thickly covered with huge sand-
stone and limestone boulders,' some
weighing many tons. In and around
the crater are tremendous deposits
of "rock flour," consisting• of sand -
same ground to an 'almost impalp-
able powder. In many eases these
deposits are ten feet or more in
thickness.
In and around this crater there
have'
been e m 1s.
t ere
d more e
meta i
lI
e
meteorites than have been found on
the entire. surface of the earth else-
where. These range in weight from
a e'
fw grains to gra 1,800 a
0 and
" pounds.
The crater c a er was first noticed by
'White men in 1871, when A. F. Ban-
ta, a scout for Gen. Crook, discovered
it ' and christened it "Franklin's
Hole."" A few years Iater the atten-
tion of the scientific world was drawn
to the crater and it was visited, in
the early nineties, by several distin-
guished scientists. The famous Swed-
ish astronomer, Svante Arrhenius,.
declared: "It is, perhaps, the most
interesting- feature on the surface of
our planet" In the summer of 1902,
D. M. Barringer, a mining engineer
of Philadelphia, visited the locality
and became convinced that the crater
had been formed by the impact of a
huge meteor or a small cornet, He
located the ground as four mineral
claims and inaugurated a campaign
of exploration.
The Happiest people.
The happiest people in the'. world
are the African tribes, according to
Mr. Seton -Kerr, British explorer,
"My experience with African tribes,.
remote and uncontaminated with.
'modern' civilization, leads me to
think that they are better able to
live happily than we are," he told a
meeting of the British Selene° Asso-
ciation. "Happiness has bees defin-
ed, 'to have the fewest wants and to
know it.' The tribes in some parts of
Attlee. are happy be. acceptation of;
the definition."
