By HOWARD W. BLAKE8I.EB
BKATTLE, Juno 18. Two dis
coveries about chromium, an es
sential war material which tbe
United States lacks, were reported
to the American Association for
the Advancement of Science here
today.
A new source of chromium has
been found In the black sands of
Oregon and a new scientific meth
od of locating chromium promises
tn turn up more American depo
sits. Chromium makes stainless steel.
It comes from chromlte, a mineral
usually appearing in the form of
heavy black rocks. The country
now imports half a million tons a
year, and nil tbe present known
American deposits, if worked to ex
haustion, would not supply chrom
ium needs for more than two or
three years.
The chromium reports were
made by John Eliot "Allen of Port
land, state geologist of Oregon.
Oregon's black Bands are deposits
whore the ocean once rolled In six
miles' further than the present
beaches, from Coos bay and Marsh
field, southward. The black sands
lie in lens-shaped formations.
More Important is the new pros
pecting technique. This is based
on discovery that the earth, In
forming Its crust, has laid down
tbe suml-pruf',HiH black rocks In
regular fnrnwfons. These may be
parallel zones, or steps or crossed
formations somewhat like floor
boards above beams.
Most of these, deposits are small,
where they uppear at the surface.
But witli the knowledge of prehis
toric formation, a geologist can
take a known outcrop as his refer
ence, and with a compass point to
the places where other deposits
will likely lie. Deposits have been
traced In this way for five miles.
Mr. Allen said that In Oregon
229 clirom.He bodies have been
found, 42 of them big enough to
yield moro than 10 tons euch und
one probably lOu.OWO tons.

a costa at Itaat 11200 per yoar
to opernto a rural school and
when one Is found operating at
less cost It generally shows some
neglect. Often buildings are un
fit for habitation by children, sani
tary facilities are lacking or In
adequate, equlpmont la poor and
the teacher has little encourage
ment. The best teacbera will not
remain In sucb situations and
move to other schools where con
ditions contribute to teaching ef
