NEEDLES RECORD
VIOLENT TREMORS
EAST OF AMERICA

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.--An un-
usually severe earthquake shock, es-
timated to be $500 miles in a east
westerly direction from Washington,
was recorded early today on the
seismograph at Georgetown univer-
sity.
The recording of the shock began
at 1925 am, the maximum intensity
was reached at S;07 am. and 1t still
was in progress at $50 am. The
disturbance was described by Rev.
Francis A. Torndorf, director of the
Georgetown seismological observa-
tory, as the worst recorded here in
two years.
The distance of $500 miles from
Washington estimated by Father
Torndorf would indicate the location
Of the disturbance to be in the Uni
ted states near the Pacific coast, il
to the west, or in the vicinity of the
Azores II to the east.
TIE distance of $500 miles from
Washington would indicate the loca-
tion of the disturbance to be in the
vicinity of the Azores.
CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-An earth
quake tne SeVereSI recorded mere in
two years, is being registered on
the seismograph at Chicago Uni
versity. The center or the disturb
ance is estimated at 3,OSO miles from
Chicago. -
As the observatory at Washington
reported the same quake was $500
miles from there, in an east or west
direction, the quake apparently is
centered In the Atlantic ocean, be-
ing farther from Chicago than from
the capital.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec. 16.-An
earthquake that was termed a
'smasher" was registered on instru-
ments at the Harvard university
selsmographic station today. The
gong in the station that is rung by
n shock in far-off China or in nearer
places was started before O'Clock
and the seismograph was still re-

GENEVA, Dec. 16.--Four new ma
league of nations by the assembly
of the league here today. They were
Bulgaria, Costa Rica, Finland and
Luxembourg, France and Australia
abstained from voting when the ad-
mission of Bulgaria was before the
assembly for decision.
Rene Viviani. head Of the French
delegation, declared 1t has no obJec-
tion to Bulgaria as a member, but
preferred not to vote in view of the
incompleteness of the information
given in regard to Bulgaria's fitness.
Thirty five states voted affirma-
lively when the balioting took place
and Australia joined France In not
recording her vote
The question of admitting Costa
Rica was the next on the days
agenda. DIR. Nansen of Norway ex-
planned that the only doubt in his
mind was whether Costa Rica was
not too small country, but in view
of the membership OF its neighbor,
Panama, he decided Costa Rica could
not be excluded on that score.
Antonio Huneus Of Chile, and SenoI
Restrepo OF Columbia asked that tht
lassembly vote unanimously In ad-
mitting Costa Rica.
II was stated before the voting
! took place thot France had no objec-
tion to Bulgaria in particular, but
would not vote because there was
some analogy between the cases oi
Bulgaria and Germany. 1t was as
serted the delegation desired ia
maintain consistent attitude on
questions relative to qualifications OF
applicants for admission.

Expect Debate.

Debate was expected when the re-
port relative to the admission of
Baltic and Caucasian states was TO
be considered. N. w. Rowell, of
Canada, gave notice to the commit
tee that Canada, as a Pacific ocean
power, took a special interest in the
Russian question. He declared that
question had been raised in it's en-
tirety by the proposed relations be-
tween the league and the states
carved out of the former Russian
empire
Although the Baltic states had the
full sympathy of Canada. he assert
ed the situation in Russia might
change, and the league might find
itself faced bv new government
claiming access to the sea, in which
eventuality the league would incur
grave responsibility.
II was planned, If the assembly
finished the election of new members
soon enough to take up the league
budget and pass appropriations for
the coming year, which have been
somewhat criticized at committee
meetings with regard TO salaries of
men connected with the secretariat.
At the opening OF today's session
President Hymans announced that
the request for consideration OF the
Tacna africa case at this session of
the assembly had been withdrawn
with the request that it be put on
the agenda Of the next assembly, TO

GROWERS CLAIM INCREASE OF is
PER CENT OVER THAT OF
LAST YEAR.
GOOD PRICE WAS OBTAINED
Association Is Engaged in Census Of
Acreage Of Rice-Department Of
Agriculture lie Expected
To Help.

New Orleans The Rice Growers
Association is engaged in two move
ments which have an important bear
ing on the coming crop. One is cen
sus of the acreage devoted to the sta
pie. The calculation will not be com
pleted for a few days but it is safe
to estimate an increase Of 10 per cent
over last year The other is the CO.
operation Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture in obtaining
enough binders to handle the crop.
Similar assistance last year was inn
mensely beneficial, and an earlier
start win assure even better results
this time. The fields look fine, and
there is prospect of splendid crop,
provided enough harvest labor can be
obtained. The outlook is for labor
scarcity, with the further probability
that higher wages will be demanded.
The growers return Is considered a
problem even by the experts in the
business. A good price was obtained
last year, but some of the crop is still
on hand. The greatest retarding fac
tor was the amazing decrease in con
sumption America had worked up to
a per capita average of eight pounds,
but the average was cut in half last
year. Many merchnts nticipted a
drop in prices and refrained from
stocking up; there we're all sorts of
transportation embargoes and fall
ures, and the distribution was con
tracted in other ways, so that the con-
Stunning public could not get the rice
and lost the habit to an injurious ex-
tent
There is fear that the habit will not
be fully revived in time and that this
condition may affect the price and dis
tribution OF the oncoming crop. Rice
IS one Of the few foods which will
bear holding, but any plan along that
line will require the organization OF
cooperation between a number of the
interests involved. Agitation along
that line already has been started.
The usual practice has been for the
growers to begin the season by fixing
a price for the staple which they ~
lieve viii prevail during the season. It
is said that, this year, conference
with the milIers will be invited SO as
to make sterilization a matter of mu-
tual agreement and arrangement. The
millers already re working on an i'm
mense national advertising campaign
to popularize the cereal and educate
the public in it's most palatable prepa-
ration. Other expedients may pc
evolved so as to enable the industry
TO hold the advance achieved, espe-
cially in Louisiana.

 The rostrum of the church was It. orally banked with flowers and Amer icsn flags. which formed a fitting background to the remarkable floral display.
 The body was borne to the church through double file of friends of Mir. Ieynes from all parts of the state and after beautiful musical service and reading of the scriptures, Governor Campbell as a close friend of Mir. Jaynes. delivered a most beautiful trib- ute. referring to the splendid service and fine citizenship of his friend who had gone beyond. So touching and tuu of feeling were the governors s remarks that many strong men sat with wet eyes in the audience.
 At the conclusion of the service at the church the body was borne through the streets of Tucson to the beautiful new Tucson cemetery, where it was inferred. all the visitors ac- companying the casket to it's last rest ing place as a mark of respect.

WASHINGTON. May 24-Since the

November IS. 1918, more than $4,000
officers have resigned or been dis
charged from the army. Each OF

forms one or two o~vercoats. n or
more pairs Of boots when he went out
of the service. Presumably, most OF
them still have these articles.
Today with the cost of living way
I'D i'm G.. the officers of the army are
having a hard time making ends meet
particularly those with families. They
are compelled to pay anywhere from
SIS and more for each uniform they
purchase. and exorbitant prices Tor
overcoats and boots. Officers in n
lower grades. if they have families TO
support, can scarcely purchase enough
food. without paying SIS for a new
pair of boots.
Under the circumstances Is II wiser
TO leave these hundreds of thousands
Of officers uniforms TO be eaten

wiser to undertake some plan or col
lecting the uniforms and selling them
at a nominal sum to the men who can

Former army officers, realizing the
situation. are now suggesting that the
War Department undertake the coll
lection of these uniforms, o~Nercoals
and boots and also their distribution.
Some of the officers who are not
now in active service will need their
uniforms. to be sure. They are mem
