Seismic instruments have recorded
the fact that the disastrous earthquake
in San Francisco last week was felt
in Japan and that it crossed the ocean
direct to San Francisco in eleven
minutes. There is no record of any dis
turbance at Los Angeles on that day,
which is conclusive evidence that Los
Angeles and, in fact, all of Southern
California-is entirely outside the terri
tory described by scientists as the
earthquake zone" This fact should
convince our eastern friends of the
absolute safety of Los Angeles as a
city of permanent homes. Our own
people need no argument on this point.

all, possessed of wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1913 she married Isaac Pinkham,
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling-i in physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained Won
derful knowledge Of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs Pinkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature SO
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods OF
all kinds: so, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies eX-
pressly designed to, cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends
Chief of these was rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the

the defendant had petitioned for a

pin found on Tucker subsequent 10
the murder, which the government
claimed was stolt n by him after tie
crime, but which, according to the
new evidence, had been in fuckers

TARRISON'S departure left Brew
- ster in sore straits. 1t forced
hi4rro settle down to the ac-
a tua1 management of his own af-
sairs re was not indolent, but this
was not the kind Of work he cared to
encourage. The private accounts he
had kent revealed some appalling facts
whom he went over them carefully one
morning at O'Clock after an all night
session with the ledger With infinite
mains he had managed to rise to some
Thing over S4J0.000 in six months. But
n his original million it had been nee
essarv 10 add S5S.5J0 which he had
realized from Lumber and Fuel and
some Of his other unfortunate" OPP
erations. At least $4,000 would come
70 him ultimately through the sale of
furniture and other belongings, and
then there would be something like
$4,000 interest to consider.
But luck had aided him in getting rid
Of his money. The bank failure had
cost him S113 1925, and Hopper Har-
rison had helped, him to the extent of
100000. The reckless but determined
effort to give Il ball had cost 100000.
What he had lost during his illness had
been pretty well Offset by the unlucky
concert tour. The Florida trip, includ-
ing medical attention, the cottage and
I living expenses, had 'entailed the eX-
penditure of $1S,500, and his princely
. dinners and theater parties had footed
up $4,000. Taking all the facts into
consideration. he felt that be had done
rather well as far as he had gone, but
the hardest part of the undertaking
was yet to come. He was still in pos
session of an enormous sum which
must disappear before Sept. %. About
$4,000 had already been expended il
the yachting project.
He determined to begin at once sys
! tematic campaign of extinction. 1t haC
been his intention before sailing to dis
pose of many household articles eitheI
by sale or gift AS he did not expect t.
return to New York before the latte
part of August this would minimize thu
struggles of the last month. But thu
prospective profit to be acquired
from keeping his apartment open was
not to be overlooked. He could easily
count upon a generous sum for salaries
and running expenses. Once on the 9th.

/ new opportunities for extravaganza
would present themselves. and he fan

cied he could leave the final settlement
of his affairs for the last month. AS
the day for sailing approached the
world again seemed bright to this most
mercenary 81 spendthrifts.
A farewell consultation with his at
torneys proved encouraging, for to
them his chances to win the eXtraor-
binary contest seemed of the best. He
was in high spirits as he left them,
eXhilarated by the sensation that the
world lay before him. In the eleva-
tor he encountered Colonel Prentiss
Drew. On both sides the meeting was
not without its difficulties. The colonel
had been dazed by the inexplicable
| situation between Monty and his
| daughter, whose involutions he found
hard to understand. Her summary of
the effort she had made to effect a
reconciliation after hearing the story
! of the bank was rather vague. She
had done her utmost, she said, to be
| nice TO him and make him feel that
she appreciated his generosity, but he
took it in the most disagreeable fash
ion. Colonel Drew knew that things
were somehow wrong, but he was too
strongly an Americap father to in
terfere in a matter Of the affections.
1t distressed him for he had a liking
for Monty. and Barbara's society
judgments as be called them, had nc
weight with him. When he found him
self confronted with Brewster in the
elevator the old warmth revived ant
the old hope that the quarrel might
have an end. His greeting was CHEEKY
! You have not forgotten, Brewster,
he said as they shook hands. 'tha
you have a dollar or two with us?''

had reached the main floor, and Colone

Graft Found in Breeding Gypsy Moths.

Graft Found in Breeding Gypsy Moths.
A new species of ''grafu" has come
to light under the label of gypsy
moth" Bya careful planting of
few of these pests in finely wooded
section the promoters of the graft
expect they will reap rich harvest
in that they will be called upon to
exterminate the pests they have SO
promiscuously sown. The way the
scheme is worked is like this: Prime,
healthy moths with which Boston and
vicinity is literally supplied are care
fully taken from the trees, the inten-
ton being to handle them so skilfully
that they will be in good spirits and
physical condition at all times. They
are then packed in sacks and taken
across the line to Rhode Island, where
as in the woods surrounding .Provi-
dence they are released from custody
with the instructions that they are to
s'go ahead, multiply and replenish
the earth" Supt. Kirkland of the
gypsy moth commission states that
this work is being carried on under
the very eyes of the authorities Of
| both Massachusetts and Rhode Island
and that at the present time there i.
no way of stopping it, as the laws o.
both states contain no provision fol
such new methods.
