" € Associated Newspaper*.--WWU linki London.--Coincident with the startling news that Scotland is drifting westward at the rate of ten feet a year, there is a more realistic end ominous movement of ' the coasts of England. It is the crumbling of the cliffs--the "White Walls of England"--into the sea. A constant erosion is going on which is greatly accelerated in winters of high winds and tides, such as this winter has been. Just recently 80,000 tons of, cliff fell orl the beach at one place in Norfolk, carrying people, houses and cattle with it. On that same coast there are several small communities which have been forced to retreat inland by the undermining and encroachment of the sea. In other places, persons reluctant to lose their homes are undergoing the -danger of being swept to death. On nights when there are gales they tremble to think that any moment everything they own and hold dear may start sliding into the'sea. » In Yorkshire, between,. Flamborough and Spurn Head, the sea is regularly eating away fifteen feet of a year. Thirty-five villages have been devoured by the waves. Selsey Bill, one of the promontories which tourists see as they ajpproach or leave England, is another danger spot. Already it is four miles sftorter than it was 100 years dgo. Deserted houses on its furthermost point are tottering on their foundations. Nothing known to science or engineering can stop the process for long. Concrete walls and fills have been swept away.

It attracts all varieties of insects, even mosquitoes, and when they approach, electrocutes them. A few of the uses to which it is being applied, reported td the university from various parts, of the .world, are: One theater in Madeira has added it to the decorations in its marquee to keep the insects from bothering patrons. It has been installed at service stations to keep customers from being annoyed by insects while having their cars serviced. It is being ^used over outdoor swimming pools and in illuminated gardens. The light, which was invented especially as a protection against mosquitoes, has received so much attention that requests have come from as far as India and Africa fop information on its manufacture and use. u.

Beauty" Bill I* $600,000,000 a Year Chicago. -- The American man spends about two-thirds the amount women do for "beauty aids," according to the results of a national survey announced here. While women are paying nearly $800,000,000 annually to beauty shops and for cosmetics, men are spending, about 1800,000,000 a year in barber shops and for shaving lotions, hair tonics,*fftassage6 and manictires. The nation's" annual barber shop bill is reported to have dropped from 1750,000,000 in 1926 to approximately 1500,000,000 in 1936, yet the masculine use of other items to enhance the appearance of the face and hair has increased about 25 per cent. On the basis of the 1930 census •16.21 a year is spent by the adult male for "beauty aids," as compared with the estimated t9? for women. "' • > Mouse scares ni Driver Crashes Truck Marlin," Texas.--Damage to a truck, to a church column and to the nerves of the driver of the truck resulted from an exploration by a mouse. As C. B. Eskridge started to turn a corner in his truck he became aware of something running up his leg "as large as a 'possum." He released the wheel and grabbed for the rodent. The truck swerved and ran across the curb, sidewalk, between trees and crashed into a large brick column of the First Methodist church. The mouse escaped. Champaign-Urt)ana, 111. -- T>« theory that "foreigners" are responsible for crimes in the United States wa^ disproved by Prof. Donald R. Taft, criminologist, at the University of Illinois. Sociological research, he said, offered statistical proof that a smaller ratio of men of foreign or mixed parentage than native American men are sent to prison in this country* • '• ' Taft said that children of immigrant or mixed families are .often more criminally inclined than their parents, but, with the exception of •a few nationalities, even they do not have the high prison ratio of native Americans. , "From a group of 100,000 adult native American men 110 are sent to prison each year," Prof. Taft said. "From the same number of men of foreign or mixed parentage born in ttug country 105 are comn^ itted, while put of 100,0Q0 foreigners born abroad only thirty-one are sentenced Jo Aij\erican prisons. " Research shows tKiit ipen from northwestern Europe have i rajio of 42 per 100,000, and sons with one or both parents from that region a ratio of 58.7, Men from sputheastern Europe sho"# a ratio" of 78.4^ and their sons a ratio of 128.4." The ratio for native Americans of "old stock" families is 110 for each 100,000, making the sons of southeastern Europeans the only group with a higher ratio, he said. Foreigners born in Wales have the best criminal records of any nationality, Taft's study indicates. The Welsh, he said, have a ratio of 16.6 for immigrants and their sons a ratio of 27.2. Heading the list, at the other extreme, are the Italians and Greeks with the highest ratio of any nationality. Immigrants from Italy and Greece* with respective ratios of 88 and 90, are below the American percentage. Their tons, however, had ratios of 152 for Italians and 256 for Greeks.

Stickney, treasurer of the bank, Leary, who also is an attorney, was sympathetic, but could suggestvno immediate solution of the bank's mistake.
