PLACING the BLAME

We don't suppose the time Wall ever

satisfied with their surroundings, and
when they will cease to find fault with
their tsWn and community. And yet

Ths trouble with this class Of people
lies not 20 much In The town - in
themselves. They refuse to take IN
aetivs part in pushing needed improve
ments; they leave it 70 someone else
to get things done. and II such things
are not done then they blame it on
''ths town." The minute such citizen
stops to consider his shortcomings,
and asks himself il he 10 doing his
duty toward his homo town, he peels
his coat, starts boosting and quickly
becomes worth more to himself. his
family and the community at large.

is the metropolis. It behoovss Jules

Earthquake PecuIIarItles.

A peculiar feature of earthquakes
Is that they seem TO undulate the
ground with a twisting motion. This
effect is quite noticeable in almost
every Central American or southern
Mexico quake, when straight rows of
trees are shifted into irregular zig
gags or light buildings twisted about
on their foundations, and many odd
effects are created in this manner.
Statistics tend TO show that the max
lmum of earthquake disturbances oc-
ours I'm the northern hemisphere dur
ING the months of January, August and
October, with n minimum during May,
June and July. The southern hemi-
spheres period of greatest activity Is
November, May and June, while the
minimum Is in March and August. 1t
will be noted from the above that the
period OF greatest activity is during
the cool months. and although this
may not appear to be true in regard
TO the Southern hemisphere, 1t must
he remembered that its seasons are
lust the reverse of ours in the north
ern hemisphere.

BIG SPIDER WRONGLY NAMED
Insect Found In the Southwestern
States and In Mexico Not Really
Tarantula.

The famous tarantula, sometimes
represented as one of the terrors of
the arid portions of the Southwestern
states and northern Mexico, is not
really, It seems, the tarantula OF his
tory and of fable.
An eminent authority in such mat
tiers, in remarklng that the tarantula is
a spider, says of that terrifying crea-
ture that ii is the Lycosa Tarantula,
species of spider found in some of
the warmer parts of Italy and Spain.
When full grown II Is about the size
of n chestnut and of brown color.
It's bite was at one time supposed to
be dangerous and to induce kind of
dancing disease" but now 1t is known
not to be worse than the sting of a
common wasp.
1t is an old fable, extending TO re-
hottest times, that the bite OF this
spider would produce epilepsy or
strange dancing mania in its victims,
and that this epilepsy or madness could
be relieved only by a particular kind
of music. The tarantula of Italy and
Spain-and II is found in those cOun-
tries tOday-has hairy legs with black
markings on them.
1t is very likely that when the early
Spanish explorers came upon the great
spider of the Southwest, and seeing
a good deal of resemblance TO the tar
antula of the Old World, those explor-
ers, not being entomologists, called the
new spider a tarantula. And the name
has persisted.

Messrs. Ed Brooks and l.. Atkin-

taking all who had the price out on

in charge of the machine is a fearless
and accurate pilot and did many air
stunts never witnessed here befora.
Spiril dives, loop-the-loops, and sich
like performances were just part of
the game for him and he did the most
daredevil stunts just for the fun of
the thing. Large crowds of spectators
watched him every day and a big
gathering of autoists were present for
