Frosted Oranges and Lemons on Market


The efforts Of California fruit brokers
to put frosted oranges and lemons on
the market in Seattle is being closely
watched by the health authorities of
this city. Inspectors are on watch
and have been instructed to condemn
and destroy all such fruit found in cars
on the track or on the floors of COM
mission houses. Similar action is be-

other cities of the Northwest, and Of

once or twice week to dances or

to 90 with me, but many times she
goes sleigh riding with other men and
the fact of the matter is I don't be-
lieye she cares much for anyone. l
have never said anything to her about
these things for fear it would make her
mad. What would you advise me to
to? Z. A.
NY friend you have no right to
monopolize the young lady's time.
OF course, I will agree with you that
it is not very pleasant to go with a
girl who has a different beau every
night, but you are selfish to want
to deprive the young lady of these
pleasures. I don't believe she cares a
fig for you and would advise you to
waste no more time nor money on
her. She probably thinks you are a
good thing to have around when she
wants to 60 anywhere. Forget her,

of decent farm weather the few STU

WHERE THE MONEY GOES.

The Ad Club of the University Oi
Missouri has for its work advertising
the University. Membership to the
club is general, composing students
from every division Of school. The
advertising done by the club is gen.
eral, no one thing receiving a dis
proportionate share OF attention.
Advertising takes money, no matter
how it is done. The only dues that
members of the club are asked to pay
are work and more work. The club
gives once a year carnival. From
this it gets money TO carry on the work
planned. This carnival gives each stu
dent in the University a chance to help
advertise his school in a systematic
way.

STEALING.

Two University students were eject
ed from the Columbia Theater last
week because they attempted TO see
a show free. While the ushers were
busy, the boys went in and took seats
on the first floor. They were found
out and asked to leave.

stealing that amount OF money? Evil

ARE YOU 4 BYSTANDER!

DO you, as a citizen of Columbia
leave the settling of affairs of the city
TO others and then pay no more atten-
ton to them?
If you live here, you pay your share
of the taxes directly or indirectly and
it is to your interest to know some
thing of the business of the city gov
ernment. If you do not, then you are
not good citizen.
When something connected with the
city's machinery of government goes
against your opinion, what do you do?
Usually the next door neighbor hears
of the trouble and that is about ali
that is done
Your duty as a citizen, whether you
vote here or not, is to go to the city
officer and lay your complaint before
him. They are elected to manage the
city's affairs for the benefit of the peo-
pie who live here.
Have you voted today?

MORE OUTDOOR LIVING.

The season of outdoor life is here
Spring is the time when physique is
built up. 1t is the season of low death
rate.
Statistics show that there are fewer
deaths in spring and summer than in
winter. This is because people do not
live outdoors in the winter as much
as they should They fail to get out
and inhale the fresh air.
Every time you get a chance this
spring step out and enjoy the fresh
air. You'll be surprised how much
better you'll feel.

As with cheating in examinations
the remedy is largely with the stu
dents themselves. To prevent such
things, the students must openly con-
denim these customs and the students
who adhere to them. There may al
ways be a few students who have
been misdirected in their training at
home and do not recognize the value
of honesty. But most students know
that it is as wrong to steal a grade
or a seat at theater or ride on a
train as it is to steal money. 1t is
the duty of honest students to cease
the federation of such customs.

Now the interested person would
discard the last link that holds the
dance above the everyday dances
He would discard dress suits. He
would make "twO-bit" dance out OF
the only swell affair open to all. Well
in fact, he would likely do without the
music.
This is not all. He offers a substi-
tute for the discarded dress suit

it were two months later he would
have us wearing ear muffs with our

But really, it was more a matter OF

We rent ours sometimes. Now, hon.

suit. The college man does not think
he has touched society until he has
worn his first dress suit. Then in
twenty years he may tell his children
Il used to be a sport and wore dress

Even if we could pull it off, for
a dollar or two, what would be the
charm of the occasion? 1t would be
a plain dance and as l said before, We
can go to that kind every week. II
we succeeded in having the prom this
cheap, would we remember it? Would
we bring our program home and put
it in our scrap book as a keepsake!
No, we would not. Well then, that
is the very reason that we want to
make it an individual dance one that
we can all remember. OF course
there are many other ways of dis
tinguishing between dances. And this
interested person has offered a good
plan-clothes out of season. Another
distinguishing feature might be, start
Raging and get thrown out. But, we
don't want to pull off any freaks.
Therefore we consider it best to
have regular formal as cheap as pos

fore it is overdone. as Mr.. Hudson
said, I'VE must be our own Judge as
to the dividing line of what is good
and what is bad In my mind. to
wear a dress suit to the Junior Prom
is we'll within the limit, but to wear
white trousers in April is far be-
yond.

One department that the University
of Missouri lacks is a department OF
seismOlogy. a recent investigation in
to the why's and wherefores of seis-
molOgy carried the investigator to the
astronomy department, the physics de-
partment, the geology department ana
finally to the weather bureau. The
professors in these departments all
said they had heard of a seismograph
or had known a man who had once
seen an instrument, but as for dis
cussing it themselves they all thought
that "so-and-so" was better able to tell
about it-that is, all except the wealth
er man. He is supposed to know
everything, and, true to his character,
he dug into some weather reports
and found volumes on the subject.
A proper seismological station is
equipped with a vast number of ma
chimes, but, in the main, there are
three sets of instruments necessary for
the recording of earthquakes. These
are: First, an instrument 10 record
horizontal movements; second, an in
strument to record vertical movements,
and third. an instrument to recOru
time. In the best equipped stations,
however, the instruments are made to
record both horizontal and vertical
oscillations on a record that also reg
listers the time. The best machines
are sufficiently sensitive to record even
the slightest tremOrs, such as hOof
beats and the vibrations of street
cars. A magnification of at least 1Uu
times is necessary to record these
slight tremors, while a magnification
of only two to five times will recoro
the large quakes; thus two records,
with low and high magnification, re-
spectiyely, are necessary for the COM
plete recording of all disturbances.
Principle OF the SeismOgraph.
Although the seismic machines are
very intricate in themselves, the
principle on which they work is SIM
pie enough. The body of the machine
or base, as it is called, is set firmly
on the earth. Connected with this is
a pen working on a sort Of pendulum.
Tie slightest tremor Of the earth is
to set this pendulum swing
ing and thus cause the pen to swing
back and forth with it. Under the pen
is the movable record, which, when
there are no geological disturbances,
is marked by the pen in a perfectly
line.
But if there is slight rumbling of
the earth, perhaps thousands of miles
away, or if close to the machine. a
train rumbles across a bridge, the line
is thickened ever so slightly into a
nearly imperceptible waver. If the
quake is fairly close or is of severe
the pen will swing violently
to and fro, even going off the record

in some severe instances. A violent
earthquake near seismic station will
destroy parts Of the instrument.
SeismOlogy, according to the local
weather Office, is branch of the phys
ical sciences concerned with the study
and investigation of the phenomena
of earthquakes. 1t is of utmost i'm
portance to geology and other forms of
terrestrial research. 1t is not limited
to the study of earthquakes in the
restricted sense, however, but deals
with the other kindred phenomena.
Seismology has only been developed
in the last one hundred years, but it
| possesses marked possibilities which
seem to point to its application in
practical ways-that is, in the warn
impending earthquakes. So far the
study has not advanced far enough to
enable the instruments to determine
the exact locations of terrestrial distur-
Dances, but careful study of the reL-
ords enables one to determine the gen.
eral distance and to approximate the
distance from the machine to the
quake. There are now twenty-One
seismic stations in the United States
most of them in connection with
some college or university as well
as the local weather Office.
Different Degrees of Shocks.
The Bulletin of the Seismological
Society OF America designates ten
different intensities or grades of
earthquakes which are sometimes
used by the scientists in discussing
their observations They are:
1. The microseismic shock-record-
ed by single seismograph or by selo-
nOgraphs of the same model, but not
by several seismographs of different
kinds, and the shock felt by an ex.
perienced observer.
9. The extremely feeble shock-re-
corded by several seismographs of
different kinds; felt by a small num-
Der of persons at rest.
3. Very feeble shock-felt by sew
eral persons at rest; strong enough |
for the direction or duration to be
appreciate.
4. F. .rlc shock-felt by persons in
motion; disturbances of movable OBJ
jects, doors and windows, creaking of
ceilings.
5. Shock Of moderate intensity
felt generally by everyone; distur-
bance of beds, furniture, ETC., ringing
of swinging bells.
6. Fairly strong shock-general
awakening of those asleep, general
ringing of house bells; oscillation of
stopping Of pendulum
clocks; visible agitation of trees and
shrubs; some startled persons leave
their dwellings.
Z. Strong shock-overthrow of
objects: fall of plaster; ring
ing of church bells; general panic,
without danger to buildings.
s. Very strong shock-fall of Chin
neys; cracks in walls of buildings.
9. Extremely strong shock-partial
or total destruction OF some buildings.
10. Shock of extreme intensity
