LOS ANGELES HAS q QUAKES
Citizens Thrown Into Panic BY Visit
, Of Earth Tremors.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Four severe
earthquakes here threw the city and
itsFsuburbs into excitement, indirectly
causing number OF injuries to men,
women and children, and slightly DAM
aged several buildings, chiefly old
ones, but none to great extent.
While the shocks seemed to center
in Los Angeles, some of them were felt
more than 30 miles away, but as in
this city, no material damage was re-
ported from any other Southern Cali
lornia city or town.
The first temblor came at 1910 :.
1t felt much as does the sudden stop
ping of a street car only that the
temblor produced the unpleasant SEN
sation multiplied many times.
Excitement in many CAFES hysteri-
cal, followed the first shock, and had
hardly been Gained when at 1927 p. m.
came the second, followed ten minutes
later by the third These two we're
sharper than that of the morning.
Then the agitation of the citizens be.
came prolonged and it was some time
:afterward before it was a case of
business as usual" The fourth quake
came in the evening.

Increased Car Service to Lake
Erie Ports Makes Certain
Fuel Supply For Winter.
famine IS PREVENTED
Railway Executives and Coal Operators
Agree on Plan To Get Plenty Of
Coal To Lake Ports-I. c. c.
To Issue Orders.

New York-Plans for increased coal
car service to Lake Erie parts-the
gateways Of the Northwest-to pre-
vent all possibility OF a winter coal
famine, were agreed on at confer
ence here between the Association OF
Railway Executives and the National
Coal association, the latter represent
ing the bituminous industry.
The plan will be submitted at once
to the Interstate Commerce commits
sion for approval and the issuance Of
necessary orders to put it in effect
on all railroads.
While details Of the plan will not be
made public until after they have
been approved by the Interstate Com
merce commission, statement from
the coal operators said the plan will
permit the movement of sufficient coal
to prevent a famine in any part of the
country during the coming winter.
At the Washington conference Mr..
Willard of the railroad executives sug-
gested that the Interstate Commerce
Commission issue formal orders to
railroads of the United States to dump
1000 cars of coal day for the North
west at Lake Erie ports.
BY this method, it is pointed out, the
Northwest will be able to receive the
necessary winter supply of 28,000,000
tons Of coal before the lakes freeze. 1t
will be a matter of secondary i'm
portance to find boats to bring the coal
from the Erie points to the Head Of
the Lakes.
At present, it is said the movement
OF coal from the mines to the shipping
points on Lake Erie is about half nor
NAL. BY the speeding up process, it
was explained, enough coal to prevent
any possibility of famine will be
brought within reach of consumers Of
the Northwest.

A n.w and striking case that has just been brought to my attention s that of girl 12 years old Two prominent eye spec ialista, after 6 thorough examinat.on, decided according to her father, that in order to save the sight of her right eye, the left must be re- moved.
