That is one reason the big American bankers are
now issueing statements which urge that pressure
be brought upon France to reduce the amount OF

They want the amount decreased so that some
thing like normal life may be restored and for that
purpose are comparing the which once

DRESSING WOMEN.

feminine garments.

This. OF course. Is Big Talk A tariff might stop

It was astonishing how the things

RUSSIAN FOOTBALL.

Russia again is taking great interest in outdoor
sports, especially football. This is in letter
from DR.. Boris Bogen New Yorker. with the Ameri-
famine relief forces working out OF Odessa
The revival of sports is OF the signs yet
that Russia is definitely the road back to normal
Sports are national safety valves
When people expend their surplus energy and
dssirate their nervous emotions in sports there Is
not much left for the spirit to feed on
When war seethes in the blood there is little
and attention for games except as part OF the
physical hardening for battle.
One reason Americans not warlke is because
they vent their energies and emotions on outdoor
sports An instruction in country could be
n.pped in the by rushing a couple OF big league
baseball teams TO the center OF trouble. How much
chance would a general have running competition
with baseball? None.
peculiar thing observed by Dr. Bogen about
the revival OF football in Russia is the absence Of
teamwork. Each player tries to win the game by
himself
Individual proves also the main thing with
the spectators. says Bogen. The people take sides
not so much with one team or the other. but with
;he individual players"
The pendulum swings back to individualsm Rus
SLAMS were fed up with work by the Boil
sheviks
The instinct OF individualsm still is stronger in
than the social instinct. That was the chief
bet overlooked by the Red leaders
ON the heels Of DR.. Bogen's letter comes an
aouncement from Bolshevik headquarters that

TOXIC, Sept 9.-Tokio has eX-

earthquakes since Dec. /. but these

greatest authorities on the seismo-
graph. Dr. Omori has worked out
a system Of cycles based on his re-
search here, showing that the dis

from now. or maybe not until the
end OF the next five or six-year pc

Scientist Predicts Fierce
Earthquake for Toxic; May
Be 5 Years; Surely by 1899

It's origin in the mountainous re-
gions Of Chiba Prefecture. across
from Yokohama. at the mouth OF
the harbor.
Then the scene shifted 10 the
mountainous section farther inland
and northeast Of Toxic
DR.. Omori's theory is that sooner
or later the surrounding country Will
be entirely relieved Of subterranean
pressure and that the scene will
gradually work back 10 Toxic. when
the city may expect another very
disastrous tremor originating direct
ly below it. This. however will not
come until the surrounding regions
all become quiet.
But the time that the disaster is
20 fall is unknown. It may come in
1927 or 1928. possibly not until i've
or six years after that: but DR..
Omori is positive that should the
city escape these two periods IL viii
come at the end Of theinext one ap-
proximately 1899.
Tremors Alternate Yearly.
This deduction is obtained from
further research work. which shows
that a year Of minimum violence in
Toxic has always been followed in
the next year by a violent earth
quake.
DR.. Omori pointed 20 a few OK
amples on the map that reproduced
his theory OF maxima and minima
There was no strong earthquake in
1895. the year OF the maximum
seismic frequency IN Toxic On the
other hand, the severest quake felt
since 1855 was that Of June 20. 1891
the preceding year having been one
OF minimum seismic frequency.
