Rocking Bed
Normal Act
For Children
By DR. JOSEPH G. MOLNER
"Dear Dr. Molner: Can par
ents do anything to stop chil
dren from rocking on their
bands and knees in bed?
"We have four children.
Our eldest daughter, now six,
finalLy stopped bumping in
bed when she was five. The
next one, a four-year-old boy,
is still going strong, as is our
three-year-old daughter. And
now the baby, a boy, just
eight months old, recently got
up on his knees and started
rocking.
"When the last one started,
I lould have cried to think of
going through another four or
five years of crib rocking.
And the ah-ah-ah sound they
make. Mrs. R. H."
Most young children have one
sort of trick or another. In this
Instance, it's an odds-on-chance
that each child has learned it
from another. Well, when you
have four little ones, there isn't
much chance of keeping them
all in separate rooms, is there?
Babies (in case you, after hav
ing four, don't know it!) have
ways of making it known if they
are unhappy. They cry, whim
per, sometimes moan, or lie in
silent, obvious pain.
In Gulf of Mexico
Undersea Domes Hint Oill
WASHINGTON The discov
ery of curious formations near
the center of the Gulf of Mex
ico suggests that its floor may
contain much more oil than
geologists suspected.
Salt domes, such as these ap
pear to be, serve as landmarks
in the unceasing search for oil,
the National Geographic Socie
ty says. Oil men in the Gulf
area learned long ago that salt
deposits often create traps for
oil and gas when pushing up
through the earth's crust.
Domes occur both on land
and in offshore drilling fields
of the Gulf. But none was
known to exist in the Gulf's
deeps, which reach down more
than 14,000 fe'et, until the re
cent voyage of the' Columbia
University research ship Vema.
The Columbia scientists discov
ered some 20 mounds near the
Gulf's center.
Detected by TNT
The formations were detect
ed as Vema's crew exploded
small charges of TNT at two
minute intervals day and night
during a seven-month cruise of
the Gulf. A hydrophone, towed
astern, recorded echoes from
sediment layers and submarine

What are ulcers? How
should they he treated? What
can you do to help rid your
self of ulcers and stay rid of
them? For answers, read Dr.
Molner's helpful booklet,
HOW TO HEAL PEPTIC UL
CERS AND KEEP THEM
HEALED. For your copy
write to Dr. Molner in care
of this newspaper, enclosing a
long, self addressed, stamped
envelope and 20c in coin to
cover the cost of printing and
handling.
They don't bounce In bed and
cheerily chirp if they are sick.
Your little ones are not un
happy or unhealthy. They are
having fun with a trick they
happened to acquire.
So here are my suggestions:
Don't let their bouncy fun
worry you. It's perfectly normal
behavior.
Maybe your husband can find
some way to fasten their cribs
down tight, so you don't hear
them squeak, rattle or bump.
Do you shut the door to the
children's room? If not, try it.
Maybe you are trying too hard
to be good parents, and think
you have to hear every little
extibcrcnt sound they moke.
Bo glad you have such
healthy, energetic kids.

Enlistment Period
Reduced by Navy
WASHINGTON W The Navy
has temporarily cut its mini
mum enlistment period for re
cruits from four to three years.
Also, the Navy is allowing
men who have been released
for more than three months to
re-enlist for cither two or three
years. Such re-enlistments in
the past had to be for four or
six years.
The experimental program, In
effect until Juno 30, was an
nounced by the service as a
means of meeting "the in
creased readiness posture of the
Navy and the nation."
rock. The data provided pro
file of the Gulf's floor.
Discovery of the domes bol
sters the theory that the Gulf
was once virtually a landlocked
"dead sea," whose waters were
supersaturated with salt. This
would explain the Gulf's un
derlying layers of rock salt,
thousands of feet thick in
places. i
As geologists reconstruct the
Gulf's history, the briny waters
began evaporating perhaps 200
million years ago, leaving vast
deposits if salt. Later, new
waters flowed into the basin.
Sediments accumulated atop the
salt. Slowly the sediments
hardened into dense stone heav
ier than the salt underneath.
Gas and Oil Trapped
In most places the overlying
rock held down the lighter salt,
but here and there the salt
found a flaw. Under the vast
pressure of the rock, salt was
squeezed upward like tooth
paste. Unlike gas, oil, or water, the
salt could not move between
rock particles, but had to rise
as a solid mass. As the mass
inched upward throjgh over
lying rock as thick as five miles
in spots it cut through many
different strata. Some contained
gas and oil. By pushing up and
sealing off these strata, the ris
ing salt created traps for gas
and oil, which also rise because
they are lighter than the over
lying rock. i
In general, salt domes range
from one to four miles across.
They may form a little hill, or
lie wholly beneath a flat sur
face. Geologists must employ all
their skills to locate the hidden
domes.
Stone Shakes Faster
On land, clues are offered by
salt licks, slightly mineralized
springs and wells, or soils and
vegetation that differ from
those of the surroundings.
Geologists use the gravity
meter to locate salt domes. A
pendulum inside the meter
swings more slowly over a
dome, because the lighter salt
pulls the pendulum less strong
ly than heavier surrounding
rock. Another tool is dynamite.
Heavy stone shakes faster than
salt. Geophones detect the dif
ference. Once a salt dome is located,
oil men drill around the edge.
Some years ago, 20 or more
wildcat wells were dril'ed for
each one that hit oil. In the
salt-dome areas, only six or
seven are now drilled because
,of increased knowledge of how
'to strike oil.
