...earth, changing through liquid to solid, proposed by Laplace in the 18th Century, has now largely been superseded by an entirely new theory of origins known as the "planetesimal hypothesis," and largely developed by Dr. Chamberlin. The earth probably never passed through a gaseous state. Volcanic action is local and arises from special causes. The earth's heat is not a legacy of a white-hot star, but the product of transformations of substance deep beneath the crust. Life has been continuous through all geologic ages, and has not been periodically destroyed or renewed by catastrophes. Cold climates have probably...

Moroccan francs and Spanish pesatas continue to be legal tender. The Debt Control Commission is to disappear, the Moroccan Government having guaranteed the interest payable...
...question in the mind of the man-on-the-street is this: Is the dispute mostly hot air? Or, is the dispute the beginning of a religious war? If it develops into a religious war, it will disturb the peace of every community; it will affect local and national politics; it may touch business, in which case, it affects the man-on-the-street...
