ACTION OF NORTH POLE
CAUSE OF EARTHQUAKES

That the 'wobbling' of the north
pole may be responsible for the earth.
quake that devastated Central Italy,
obliterating many OF its towns, kill.
ing approximately 10000 of its in.
habitants. and doing damage to prop
erty in excess OF 500 0OO, ,000, on Janu.
ly advanced by scientists for such an
upheaval OF the earth's surface 1t is
generally agreed by investigators that
many quakes are caused by volcanic
action. Many of them are also due,
according to generally accepted theo-
ries to slips" or sudden readjust-
ments of the deep-lying rock strata
which form the foundations of the
earth. There are, however, many
earthquakes that cannot be attributed
to either OF these causes, so far as sci
eutitic investigators have been able TO
demonstrate. That these quakes, or
some of them, are in some way con-
nected with the variation OF the
earth's axis from its normal position,
has been suggested by some excellent
authorities. In an illustrated article
the April Popular Mechanics Magazine
says:
Recent study OF these polar aber-
rations has demonstrated that the axis
is constantly moving about in spiral
course. in much the same manner as
top travels when it is spinning
on slightly uneven surface BY as
Economical observations this path has
been traced and the discovery made
that the axis returns to about normal
position approximately every seven
years. 1t has been found that when
the axis makes sharp turn in its very
irregular course, seismic activity is
materially increased From this il is
reasoned that the movement of the
pole probably sets up stresses in the
crust of the earth which result in
violent upheavals along faults and
ridges"
The recent upheaval in Italy cen
tered its force in the mountainous
province of Abruzzi. The shock last
ed S4 seconds, but in that brief time
the whole countryside was changed in
to a burial ground of cities and a re-
gion of famine and suffering. There
was a succession of lesser shocks fol-
lowing the quake which were felt from
the southernmost part of the peninsula
into certain parts of France and Swift
zerland. causing serious avalanches
to occur in the Swiss Alps which iso-
lated villages and destroyed large for
ests. These disturbances. In the opin-
ion of some indicated that the quake
was not of volcanic origin.
"AveZZano, a town of $1,000 inhab. |
itants, lying less than 70 miles east
of Rome, is now a dust-laden heap of !
crumbled stone, with here and there a |
wall. In all, there were near
ly a score Of towns which were wiped |
out completely, and more than 100
where severe tolls OF both life and

ating four or five autos each. Tie
same is true in regard to bus and ex-
press wagon licenses. The aldermen are
pretty thoroughly agreed that hereafter
each conveyance doing a rental OF hire
business must pay license. Mayor
ThOrson suggested that it might be
well, after an owner has paid one Il
cense for the regular six months term,
to allow him then to take out other
licenses for q shorter period, thus en-
abling our business men to take advan-
tage of the best of the business season
without working an unreasonable hard
ship by forcing them to pay for extra
licenses during the duh periods. 1t is
probable the matter will be worked out
on that line. At any event the whole
matter was referred to the license com
mittee to work out, but with the sug-
gestiOn that this plan be followed if it
seemed feasible.
The ordinance pertaining to the new
sewer to the west of the city limits

LOCAL DRIVERS CAUGHT

Glenwood was this week visited BY
Carl De LOchte, a special automobile
inspector from the office OF Secretary
of State John Z. Ramer, and before
the gentleman departed from the city
several auto drivers had hurried to the
county clerks office and fortified
themselves with the official permit re-
quired by the state of owners of ma
chimes.
Mr. DeLoehte was sent out to check
up the machines of the state after Mr..
Ramer became convinced that there
were a great many machines through
out the state whose owners were either
thoughtlessly or purposely evading the
state license law. Upon making An in
vestigation throughout the state Mr..
De Lochte found that many machines
carried no license tag whatever while
many others were rePrese below
their actual or rated horsepower, and
law.
| In Glenwood seventeen arrests were
made on complaint of DeLoehte, but in
many cases there were unintentionai
mistakes which were easily corrected.
However, four of the number appeared
before Justice White and entered pleas
of guilty and were fined . and costs
each, making q total of $3.50 in eacs
case. t'-i''-'i'' "a !.
Inasmuch as half of these fines 60
into the state highway fund and aid in
building the roads which are used by
autoists more than by anyone e'se, this
fund has been very materially augu-
mented this year through Mr. Rame, 5
inspection campaign. His office has al
ready collected sl20,000 this year as
against $4,000 for the whole of last
year.
Those who contributed to the fund
in Glenwood Springs are j. 5. Woody,
Bart Petrini, L. e. Brcseker -and Ed
ObertO.
In speaking of the matter to Post
} representative Mr.. DeIDchte said by
way of caution:
81 wish you would caution dealers,
that they must have dealers licences.
If you get a regular icense any mem
Der of your family may drive the ear
with it, but you cant turn your car
over to NE SO that ! can drive, and !
can t turn my ear over to you to drive
on my license. Caution drivers to use
both rear and front lights on their
cars. Those are required provisions
, and they prevent many accidents.

GROUSE AND SAGE HENS
COLORADO BIRDS

In speaking of the report publishe
in q Denver paper and copied in this
issue of the Glenwood Post, $. E. Land,
state superintendent of fish hatcheries,
and who made a visit to Glenwood this
week in company with his chief, was
asked by the Post reporter for the
facts concerning the article in question.
Mr.. Land, who is considered an au-
thority on the matter in the Rocky
Mountain region, having spent 20 years
in investigating the subject, said:
GAS the present commissioner, W.
B. Fraser, is desirOus of operating the
department from the revenues of the
Office by the sale Of hunting and fish
ing licenses, we feel that such action
on the part of the federal authorities
is creating q hardship on the state de-
partment.
"The fact is that sage hens nd
grouse are by 10 means migratory
birds, but are indigenous to Colorado
and the Rocky Mountain region. They
are in NO sense inseetivOrous, but sage
chickens feed On the tender leaves Of
of the sage, while grouse subsist both
in summer and winter on tender pine
needles with addition of berries and
buds of the wild plants and flowers
found in this mountain region, and that
is one reason why they cannot he
raised in captivity.
cit is for these reasons that we no d
that the federal authorities have NO
right to prohibit the killing of such
game birds during the open season as
defined by state law"
When questioned on the subject, Mi.
Fraser, state game and fish commits
sioner, said: 81 have been absent from
my Office for the past ten days and
have not been interviewed Oil the sub.
ject as indicated by the article in
question and therefore can assure you
thAt that portion of the report refer.
ring to anything I have recently said
on the subject is incorrect. have
talked with Mr.. Tedrow on the subject
somewhst recently and he and I are
very much in accord on the proposition
and l do not anticipate any action
from him except it be by reason of or
ders from Washington. / imagine,
however, that someone is trying to
manufacture q newspaper scare ami
