Severe Shocks Reported From Chinese
Province of kan.Su.


Tokio.-A Shanghai dispatch to the
Asahi Shirzhun reports IL terrific
earthquake in Kan-Su province on De-
cember 16. with casualties estimated
ut 1000. The seislnograph at George
town university. Washington, was re-
ported on December 16. as recording
the most severe earth disturbance of
two years. The Rev. Father Francis
A. Tondorf, director of the seismo-
graphic observatory, estimated its dis
lance from Washington ut $500 miles.
Dispatches from various parts of the
world recorded the shock. virtually ;ll
reports expressing the opinion that an
earthquake had occurred in the Ned Of

At Toxic the observation indicated
the disturbance began Mt 9:11 O'Clock

lasted two hours and were said to be
so severe that the Instruments were

tOberammergau. Bavaria.-The yule-
tide finds Oberammergau on the eve Of
II plebiscite, not to determine bOun-
DIARIES or political alignments but for
the elders to determine whether, in
their opinion, the Christian spirit Is
widespread enough in the world to
make 1t possible for them to enact the
Passion Play in 1922 and attract wish
tors from former enemy countries to
see it.
The Oberammergau peasants por-
tray the sufferings and death of Jesus
Christ in fulfillment of a vow made by
the villagers i'm 1854 to present the
story of the Saviour every ten years
as an expression of their gratitude for
having been spared from Il plague.
The last presentation Of the Passion
Play was in 1910. the peasants being
unable to present 1t in 1920 because of
the unsettled conditions of the world
and the havoc which the late war
wrought among the performers and
musicians.
Munich will hold an industrial expo
sition in 1922. Consequently Lberam-
Mergau could reasonably expect a good
attendance in that year If the Munich
fair proves successful. However, peas
ants of Oberammergau are considering
as to the ACCESSIBILITY of attempting
presentation so soon.

foreign countries to American farm
products through the handling Of se-

by ]. r.. Howard, president of the
American Farm Bureau federation, to
the senate agriculture and banking
committees.
Mr.. Towards plan, as outlined to
the two committees in joint session,
would provide for the extension Of
credits, by having such security as
foreign countries might be able to give
for the purchase Of American farm
products handled by the war finance
Incorporation either through selling
them to American investors or by is-
suing debentures based on such seclir-
Titles. Mr.. Howard emphasized TINT
his plan did not involve putting the

floated before her eyes like flame of
gold. Philip MacCauley's deep voice
seemed to speak them in her ringing
ears Immediately after. "Goddy," she
groaned, Salvation of the Lord, oh,
darlin' Salvation"
Just then her feet touched the peb-
bies on the bottom of the lake. With
one wild leap she was on the shore
and up the bank, Griah screaming at
her to stop.
She heard the two men crashing
after her. That her short, swift leaps
could outdistance them for long If she
tried for the boulevard. she had no
hope. But all about ner We're giant

paused, then sprang into the air,

by the blue sky, she crawled out to
the end of a big limb and chung to 1t.
Beneath her the hen paused and
shouted curses up at her. Tonnibel
cared nothing for curses. She'd heard
them all her life, used them, too, when
she felt like it.
Suddenly there came to her ears the
tapping of paddle in the lake. She
flung up her head, peeped out and saw

down.

She sent out quick birdlilie trill,

to their feet and raced away toward
the boulevard. Tonnibel from her
perch saw them disappear toward
Ithaca before she slid to the ground.
The man in the canoe, too, made but
short pause before lie dipped his
paddle and shot away. On the deck
of the boat Tonnibel picked up Gus
sie-Piglet and, dripping wet, went
swiftly down the cabin steps. There
she found her mother on the bunk, her
face discolOred by her husbands
blows. She looked as II she were dead,
and for n moment the forlOrn child of
the wilderness uttered leartbroken
little cries for help.
The cabin was cluttered in the
struggle Uriah Devon had had with
his wife. In despair Tony looked
around. The old clothes daddy had
brought home were strewn over the
cabin floor. Tonnibel heaped them
together, then began to examine them.
They needed nothing but pressing.
This she'd do to save her mother the

had something ready to sell would
make Uriah less brutal when lie came

POWDER TESTS

HN ME- upon time chemist WdS
~ sitting with his feet cooked up on
the table smoking his pipe. 1t was an
on day for the bad-smeM artist.
The door opened and in walked a
boy. He handed small jar to the
artist mean chemist. In the jar
were several humps Of yellow dough.
One was streaked purple like rum
listers nose. MAC says he thinks
you'd oughta see this" began the boy.
A terrific explosion was the answer he
got. The chemist seemed to shoot In
to the air. His pipe landed in the
corner. The boy picked 1t up, stuck 1t
into his teeth, and went away. He was
safe because OF the purple streaks on
the yellow Jumps in the glass jar.
The Jumps were smokeless powder.
The jar was the vlsual-test jar in
which samples Of powder brands are
kept In laboratories. The purplish
streaks told the chemist that this par
ticular brand was dlsintegrating, was
becoming dangerous; might at any
minute break down, ignite, and blow
Its container-whether battleship or
bOx-intO smithereens.
So he exploded. He wired all ships
having that particular Index" Of pow
der aboard what had happened. And
he took pains to bury safely all Of 1t
that was within danger distance of his
own back yard.
That was years ago. Nowadays
every man-of-war keeps her eye on her
own powder by series Of iron-clad
tests and inspections that befit the
seriousness Of having, a thousand lives
to guard. Indeed the tons of explosive
aboard one warship is sufficient to
destroy a feet IL properly placed.
The powder is slowed in bags. the
bags in alright tanks, the tanks in
watertight rooms called magazines.
Magazines must be kept ut less than
100 degrees F. always. and, as a rule,
at not more than 95 degrees F. Each
has little shelf on which stands the
glass jars. one for every brand Of
powder in that magazine. About ten
o'clock in the morning the chief gun
ner goes about the ship recording all
magazine temperatures and scrutintz-
ing the little yellow Jumps in the Jars.
A purplish hue which so excited the
chemist is caused by action Of freed
acid on the Indicator This is added
20 powders in order to provide safe
ty signal when there is danger Of ex-
plosion due to chemical decomposition.
The gunner looks carefully for any
such signs. Litmus paper is stuck into
the necks of the Jars. It ia saturated
with an indicator" and changes color
In the presence Of acid.
Besides this daily so-called visual
test" there is held twice a year the
semi-annual surveillance test" Sam
Piles from all the powders are -heated
to a temperature of 65.5 c and kept
there for sixty days or until they

One sad example will suffice. He was
a graduate ensign. For four long
years he. had been nodded into the
bold. resourceful type Of youth war
ship lures. By choice he had relin-
qulshed high marks in engineering and
had concentrated on the enthralling

He soon perceived the popular fall

stars are used in plotting frisky fleets
about the wet parts Of our globe. Tho
