upon civilization was discussed by DR..
Chi Lii, a Chinese graduate student at
Harvard. He expressed the belief thai.
a picture language such as that of
China and the alphabet used in most
countries produced fundamentally diff

the alphabet, he said resulted in ca
pacity for change and incapacity for
sustaining any idea: use Of the picture
language resulted in inNalnerability to
storm and stress and resistance to
change.

Guard Against Quakes

Cambridge. Mass, Dec 2S.-His-
toric records show that the earth
quake record in Boston and vicin-

the Massachusetts Institute of Tech

Geological Survey Of the American
Association for the Advancement Of
Science today. He cited the four So

Boston was settled. the worst being

Damage from possible earth
shock, he said. could be greatly les
sened if the geological conditions
were understood and certain precau-

foundations on bedrock had been
demonstrated by experience in earth
quake regions to be the safest, he
added, and those on made land, such
as the Back Bay of Boston, the most
