The fa mow horseshoe fail* between Goat Inland and the Canadian nhore had a new aspect today because of rook slides during- the week end. The 1,000-foot crest of the American falls before the sMde? was in an unbroken line, but there now is a rift in the line about 300 feet from Luhk Island. The U-shaped indentation in the brink created by the slide is estimated to be 160 to 200 feet deep and 150 feet in width. Apparently the cave of the winds has not been affected, though the broken rock and stone trrihy have obstructed the .pathway leading to this scenic feature of the falls. Because of the prevalence of ice and snow, no attempt has been made to enter the cave.*"1 A fall of rock in .the cave eight years ago injured several sightseers. ? ' il>r. Reginald H. Peg rum, geologyprof essov at the University of Buffalo, said that while erosion was the main cause of the slide, winter ;weather and the ice, causing cracks and scai*s in the rock ..surface, undoubtedly were cbntribunng factors, Washington, Jan. 19.?The eventual disappearance of Niagara Falls unless steps |tr? taken to prevent erosion was predicted today by W. C. Mendenhall, acting director of the geological survey. Although the process would take thousands of years, he believes the falls would be gradually flattened out. - Following the rock falls at Niagara over the week end Mr. Mendbnhall recalled' .proposals advanced during recent years to ,stop the wasting away. At the instance of congress and public organizatlions, such projects have been proposed, but no action has been begun.

We also have within a great many pupils who need milk each day *$ 0 are unable to buy it. Just yesterday an organization whidh had kindly furnished milk each day for ten pupils discontinued this good' work. This was a severe blow to this particular wonk ?o that the school authorities would like to hear of any organizations or persons willing to supply milk to children or from those who have clothing that could be used.
