Dearborn observatory at Northwestern
university.
Buildings trembled, tables squeak.
ed. dishes ratified, and other disorder
was reported from LAGRANGE, River
side. Hinsdale, Highland Park, Wauke-
gan and other nearby towns.
The first belief was that the shocks
we're due to an explosion at the pow.
der mill near Kenosha, Wis.
The tremors created great excite
ment, especially in the small towns
near Chicago. Some excitement was
also caused among occupants of bis
downtown Office buildings.

were thrown from shelves in stores
and homes.
The tremors also were felt at Auro
"a, Mendoza and other nearby points
At Hinsdale a woman reported that
when the shock came 1t caused the
house to tremble and that she thought
that it was caused by powder ex
plosion.
At some points near Chicago reports
said the shocks were greater than the
che recorded May 26, 1909.
AT LAGRANGE the building occupied
by the telephone exchange was shaken,
the shocks coming three seconds
apart.
Many excited persons called news
paper Offices, police stations and other
places and inquired anxiousiy as tc
the cause of the disturbances.
AT Kenosha a slight shock was felt
Buildings were rocked and small ar
ticles broken in some of the houses,
but the loss was not heavy. There
was no explosion at the powder mills
at Pleasant Prairie, Wis. Many per-
sons fled from their homes when the
shock was felt, fearing that another
explosion had occurred.
Earth tremors were felt at Rockford
at 1913 a. m. The 'tremor also was
felt at Winnebago.
At Freeport, ILL.,, only one shock
was recorded. 1t lasted only two sec

JOIN BIC MOVEMENT
State Health Leaders Have
Part in Great National
Organization.
LEADING men TO AID WORK

At a meeting of the Wisconsin com
mittee, held in Milwaukee today, plans
were perfected for the participation
Of this state in the international Con>
gross on Hygiene, to be held in Wash
ington in September.
1t is expected according to the
secretary, DR.. t. L. Harrington, of
Milwaukee, that this congress will
have tremendous influence in. i'm
proving the health conditions under
which we live, and in directly re-
ducing the number of deaths and cases
of preventable illness. When the In
ternational Congress on tuberculosis
was held in 1906, nothing had been
done up to that time in combating con-
sumption in Wisconsin. The splendid
accomplishments that have come
about directly in fighting the white
plague, will undoubtedly be duplicated
in the other preventable diseases
which include typhoid, pneumonia, the
contagious diseases of childhood, diar-
rhoeal diseases of infancy, etc."
Amongst the Wisconsin agencies
which will participate in the congress
are the state board Of health, the
dairy and food commission, the Wis
consin Anti-Tuberculosis association,
the State Industrial Commission and
various other organizations
The committee, which consists of
Drs G. A. Harper, Madison, T. L. Har-
rington of Milwaukee, Hugo Reich of
Sheboygan, Mrs. Julian Kurtz of Mil
waukee and Mrs. J. D. Beck Of Madi-
son, is securing information upon the
exact amount of space which will be
made available for the Wisconsin ex-
hibit.
The committee will attempt to make
the exhibit indicate what is being
done and is under way for the control
Of preventable disease and the reduc-
ton of industrial accidents

After all the location of the tuber-
culosiS sanitarium which ittis propos-
ed the county shall build is a second
airy consideration. It would, of course,
be advisable to locate such an insti-
tuition where it would be easily ac-
cessible, but the main thing is to get
one started so that the patients in tie
last stages of the disease, each one of
whom is a center of infection, can be
put where they are not daily and hour
ly exposing others to the disease. We
shall make no real progress in wiping
out the white plague in this County
until it is possible to properly handle
the contagion at its source and the
less part sentiment plays in the matter
the more real progress will be made.
This is disagreeable fact to face but
no great results may be expected from
the warfare being waged against tu-
bereulosis until the people make up
their minds that these cases must be
scientifically handled.
