...features such as heavier rock in cores of folds, dome-shaped masses of salt, or bleached cavernous ground can often be recognized by the anomalies caused by them in the gravitational field, and critical evidence bearing on the occurence of oil or ore bodies, may be secured for the use of the geologists...
...geophysical methods are not simple. They require thorough preparations in physics and geology, not only for laying out the work, manipulating the instruments and securing the readings, but above all in interpreting the results. They are in no sense "dividing rods," available for the use of the untrained man. They are merely instruments for the measurement of physical fields that, under favorable conditions, give results of significance and value to the geologist. The geophysical methods are of undoubted importance in increasing the effectiveness of geological observation...
...course, to be expected that the wet propagandist would misconstrue President Lowell's recent article on Reconstruction and Prohibition. There is little in it to justify their attempts to use its as a polemic. It is judicial in tone and shows an ability to see two sides to the question. It admits the high moral purpose of the supporters of the 18th amendment, virtually endorsing Mr. Hoover's characterization of prohibition as a great experiment, noble in purpose and far reaching in results. As to the results, the article says, "Prohibition has no doubt done good. It has abolished...
...hour, almost wholly unable to identify the specimens talked about, could return, and by individual observation of the labelled objects assimilate the instruction which they had received, to a degree that is now quite impossible. In short, this collection, fine as it is, is today of surprisingly little use for teaching, in--comparison with what could be made of if under different conditions...
...staff are already at work over the selection and arrangements of specimens for the new installations, and have started upon the laborious task of labelling which must go on synchronously. Recent developments in typewriters, which have made it possible to produce effective labels by their use, will greatly reduce the cost of the labelling, but the amount of work involved in the production of a great many thousand labels, each one of which must be at once concise, full, and intelligible, can probably be appreciated only by those who have undertaken...
