EARTH OFF Center,
50 MOUNTAINS SLIP
Seismographs Break as Pa.
cific Bed Shifts to Com
penSate ''FIat Wheel"

NEW YORK. February 1.-The
earth in its dizzying whirl through
space got off center for few mo-
ments yesterday and shifted it's
poles" or axis to fit the new center
of rotation.
Then, in order that it might not
be travelling on a flat Wheel" so to
speak, a few million tons of solid
rock, somewhere off the western
coast of the United States, in the bed
of the Pacific ocean, slipped" a
hundred feet or so to even things up
not be certain whether the displace
ment was horizontal or vertical. In
the great San Francisco shock of
1906 the horizontal displacement
amounted to about twenty feet"
This is the manner In which pro-
observers account for the violent
earth vibrations which demoraliz-
ed instruments in observatories
throughout this country. Thus far
the exact location of rthe huge slip"
has not been determined, although
observers from washington. D. c. to
Berkeley, Calf, agree that 1T prob
ably was a few hundred miles off
the mouth of the Columbia river.
The absence of recorded disrup-
tion of the visible surface of the
earth or of the huge tidal waves
WHICH AIoIli sSShS
of an earthquake lead the observers
to believe the slip" occurred miles
below the bed of the ocean. Its vio-
lence was attested by the quavering
seismographs. which in some JIM
stances were thrown from the re-
cording rolls. while strong ma
chine" at Berkeley was set in motion
for the first time in many years
NO doubt the earth was readjust-
ing itself" said Prof. J. j: Lynch,
se:s :smographic observer at Fordham
University here.
about every so often the earth be-
comes upset, goes off center, changes
its axis, and usually, about the same
time, there is violent earthquake, a
slipping of miles of strata, and we go
merrily along again" -
The Andes along the Pacific coast
in South America. and the chain of
rocky deformatons which join the
two continents, disappearing into the
sea off southern California. are con-
tinually lifting. falling and slipping"
according to the seismologist and the
geologist.
Many of these disturbances take
place in midocean. the only visible
evidence being the ZigIzag lines
trailed by a seismograph hundreds of
miles distant. One of the most nota BILE
examples of such a paroXysm occurred
in December, 1920. and scientists still
are cudgeling their brains to account
for the lost earthquake. Its source
of origin never has been definitely
established, although it was of such
proportions as to Shatter instruments
thousands of miles away and to send
a tidal wave circling the earth.

WHERE ETIQUETTE is RIGID
Visitor to Monaghan Yourt Has Many
important Rules of Conduct
to Remember.

A Monaghan yourt Is an umbrella
like framework of trelliswood COW
cred with thick felt which when new
is perfectly white, circular in form,
having a dome-shaped roof, and is
about IA to 18 feet in diameter, the
door always facing south or south
west, and painted red. On arriving at
a yourt on a Mongolian pony it Is
very necessary to remember that your
riding whip must be left outside, laid
on the roof, before you enter. To take
it, or any kind of stick, into the house
would not be regarded as simple
breach of manners, such as taking
your umbrella into the drawing room
when paying a call in this country,
but amounts to an act of aggression.
AS one enters the yourt one cannot
help noticing that the floor is covered
with semicircular mats of very thick
white felt with bold applique designs
in black, as q border. In the center
of the building an iron casket contains
burning argol that flames brightly and
sends up ascending smoke that es-
capes through a circular hole in the
roof. One must be careful to select
one Of the lowly seats on the ground
on the left of the fire till the invita-
ton is given to "come up higher"
which of course, will follow.

selves, or at night a newly Matched
pOult can be slipped under each tur-
key hen that is to be given a brood Of
poults, and by morning they will take
them, poultry specialists in the United
States Department Of Agriculture say.
Turkey hens are close sitters, and
If managed properly they are the
surest means of Matching turkey eggs
that can be used. Incubators are
quite as successive with turkey eggs,
however, as with chicken eggs. Poor
matches are very frequent cause Of
complaint among turkey raisers, and
this is quite often due to crowding
more eggs under the hens than they
can properly cover. One egg too many
means that every egg in the nest prob
ably will become chilled at some time
during the four weeks of incubation.
Turkey hens cover from Is to 10
eggs, and in some cases more, depend
ing on the size of the hen. Chicken
hens of the general-purpOse breeds
cover from eight to ten turkey eggs.
The turkey-egg capacity of an in
cubator is approximately three-fourths
of the chicken-egg capacity.

Turkey hens and chicken hens ordf-
narily are used to incubate turkey
eggs, although incubators are used
where turkeys are raised on a large
scale. During the early part Of the
laying season it often happens that
there are on hand a number Of eggs
that should be set before the turkey
hens are through laying their first lit
ter, and become "broody." In such case,
and also when it is desired to have
the turkey hens lay a second Or third
litter, some of the eggs have to be
incubated under chicken hens or in an
incubator.
About a week before the poultry are

key hens should be allowed to sit to
take all the poults Matched. They
can be given a few eggs from the incu-
bator or from under the chicken hens,

Chinese Wedding Customs.

On her wedding day the Chinese
bride is clad in red and carried In a
sedan chair covered with red Any
person who wishes. may turn back the
chair curtains and have look at the
bride. Hayseed takes the place of
rice and confetti. The brides hair
is deliberately oiled, and so when the
girls throw hayseeds at her they
stick. When she has reached the end
of her journey shes has come to the
home of her husband and must bear
the candid criticism of the whole fam
lily.
The wedding ceremony is nothing
more than a rice affair. Instead of
throwing it, the guests eat it. The
husband-and-wife-to eat rice from
each others bowl, then mix the rice
and both eat from the same bowl-and
they are married.
OF course there is a feast, but the
custom makes it such that the
American father Of a reception-giving
bride might envy the Chinese father
of the bride. Every guest contributes
something, and so it costs very little.

YIELD TO PROFITABLE COWS
Every Daryman Should Weigh Each
Milking and Have Sample Test
ed for Butterfat

every owner of dairy cows should
know If his cows are giving enough
milk or butterfat to make profit over
the cost of feed" says A. G. Baer, pro-
fessor of dairying at Oklahoma A. and
NJ. college. "A scale to weigh the milk
in the barn can be bought for 81. 1t
takes only a few minutes a day extra
time to weigh the milk from each cow
and write the weight ON a milk sheet
tackled up in the barn. Once a month
sample of milk can be tested. Any
creamery, ice cream factory, or cream
station will usually be glad to do this
testing. Every schoolhouse can be
equipped with tester at very little
expense, and the boys at school can do
the testing.
"a profitable cow should produce g.
900 pounds of milk or 200 pounds Of
butterfat in 300 days. Are your cows
all profitable? Why not find out? Is
milking dairy cows business propo-
sition with you? II so, why not ap-
ply business methodist"

USE FOR THE SILK SCRAPS
Remnants May BE Worked Into New
Crazy Quilt; Old Cover May
Be Utilized.

Most of us have bureau drawers full
Of gayly colored silk scraps that we
hate to throw away, but that are
hardly large enough for real use. Why
not make crazy quilt? The old
fashioned ones are complicated in de-
sign, but most effective result is
obtained by merely using square
blocks of color, with occasionally two
scraps sewed together for stripes.
These blocks should be about five
inches in diameter. Easier than making
a separate cover and then lining it, is
to take an old quilt and merely
featherstitch the patches in heavy
black silk right onto the quilt. Use
plain black for the reverse side and
add a black border of the same width
as the block Of color.

THE SIMPLE COUTURE MODE
Face and Are Drawn Low, With
Fullness Over Ears.

Hairdressing modes of the moment
continue to keep in favor simple lines
which successfully avoid severity.
Broad waves undulate away from
the face, and are drawn rather
low, with a slight fullness over the
ears. The hair is arranged either
quite high On the head or at the nape
of the neck-the halfway position be-
ing avoided as a rule-in a compact
roll or elongated twist, which is given
the support of a decorative comb, a
small one for daytime wear and an
exaggeratedly large one for evening
and "dressy" purposes. This is
style suitable to the young and middle
aged alike, provided the features are
not pronounced and the face itself is
not too thin.

wastefu,ness in Use Of Goa,

Oil may possibly supplant coal for
heating purposes and for the driving
of machinery. But coal will always
hold its own place in other ways. for
oil has little to give us in the way of
by-products. When we burn coal we
use it in the most wastef1l way pos
sible obtaining from it less than a
fifth of the heat which it is capable
of giving out, and making no use at
all of the colors, the sweetness. the
disinfectants or the healing medicines
that are hidden within it.
