April 10, 1934 MONTHS EXTRA MILES FREE lililiSilfiitt!? isiiiiii ilWlttlff gravest fears that the ravages of time eventually will destroy the Acropolis as it is now known unless restorative measures are taken immediately, j Weatherbeaten for ages, one of the world's greatest treasures of art and antiquity is slowly succumbing to ero sion from countless rains. This con clgsion was reached after an examinu tion of the plateau bjr\an arelieolOgi cal committee appointed by the ministry of education which has charge of ancient monuments. After th£ survey was completed the committee urgent I > recommended that ?30.000 be set aside at once to finance preliminary work of preservation, says the Chicago Tribune. The danger Is more serious because it is not the n^Jsonry which is wearing away, but the rock (crystalline limestone} beneath the walls on the north side of the bill. The walls were completed by Pericles to provide, after - j filling In,I a level surface atop the Acropolis. On this plateau he .after *\> ward built the Parthenon. The Parth enon was completed in 43S. B. G. after ten years' work. The temple itself stands on the south side of the hill, but at the same end of a rectangular surface which to the ancient Greeks was holy ground. The erosion, however, does not threaten the Erechtheion erected in 407 B. C. -The man made part of the hill strangely is secure, although it is due to this construction (of porous stone) that the solid rock beneath is'giving away. There Js no mortar between -the stones of the wall and the rain has seeped through into the rock for 2,500 years. -- That the danger Is serious was demonstrated recently after a torrential winter rain. A large piece of rock was dislodged. It tumbled within a short distance^ the dwellings which are built up to the sheer sides of the Acropolis. The top of the hill Is about 510 feet above sea level after a rise of about 200 feet from the plain. The government at present is work ing to counteract the seepage through the loose foundation stones on which the beautiful Ionic temple to wingless victory stands. The structure originally stood on the southern slope of the Acropolis. When it was restored it was moved, higher to the brink of the Acropolis. BLOW-OUT PROTECTION at no extra cost! Amazing Golden Ply Prevents Great, Unseen Cause of Blow-outs SOMETHING had to be done to make tires safer. Every year thousands are killed or injured when blow-outs throw cars out of control. Goodrich engineers met the challenge with the Life-Saver Golden Ply. This amazing invention resists the terrific heat inside the tire. Rubber and fabric don't separate. Thus blisters don't form. The great cause of blow-outs is eliminated before it begins. No wonder thousands are changing to this tire proved 3- times-safer--gives months of extra mileage, too! Come in today and see it. Battle Against Apple Worms Making Progress Philadelphia, Pa.--Concerted efforts of experts In the bureau of entomology at Washington, aided by expenditures of approximately $10,000,000 annually, have been unsuccessful in getting worms out of apples. Speaking before the American Association of Economic Entomologists here, a representative of the federal bureau stated that none of the experiments of scientists have shown any appreciable headway In.eliminating the pest, known generally as the codling moth. He estimated that $10,000,000 is spent annually for sprays to fight the moth, and in this way apple growers are able to keep worms out of from 90 to 95 per cent of their crops, but efforts to eradicate the pest entirely have been futile. Although of European origin, the moth has haunted American orchards for more than a century.

The deeper one goes Into the Ozark 'country the greater the activity encountered among the choppers and stavemakers. It was estimated that 200 stave mills were operating in southwest Missouri, some having night shifts. The weekly pay roll to mill hands\ alone was estimated at $7,000, while ani estimate of the sum paid to timber chop pers was not available. In addition to 'the wages paid the landowners were receiving up to $50 an acre for white oak timber, which until repeal of the Eighteenth amendment failed to bring more than $5 an acre as" firewood. A cooperage plant here was working its entire force overtime to keep up with orders for whisky kegs, Goodrich Silvertown WITH LIFE-SAVER CttLDEN PLY John Stilling McHen^JIL Device Enables You to Park Your Voice Cambridge, Mass.--Now you can park your voice--just as you park your car. The vocal parking space device has been exhibited In Memorial hall at Harvard university. The parking space consists of a thin steel ribbon which flows along In plain sight at about one foot per second. Unlike any other form of recording speech, it Is not necessary to process the ribbon or treat it In any way. The voice Is impressed upon It directly by means of two small magnets which produce a varying magnetization of the steel tape corresponding to the sound waves In one's speech. Any time the words parked are wanted for transmission the ribbon is run through a second set of magnets and the speech Is reproduced in the form' of an electric current.
