the probable causes.


 It might be asked what value to mankind will result from the expendi- ture Of great sums for the study of d natural occurrence which, it is ad- mitted, can never be prevented and which may continue to exact its toll of human lives and property. Tn view of the fact that scientists can now locate the certain lines along which quakes have occurred and seem sure to occur again in future, they are able to speak of live earth quake rifts as they speak of live vol canoes. It is known by the form of the volcano or by the occurrence of eruptions within historical time that it is potentially or actually active, and much the same may be said of the earthquake rifts.
 Special Danger.
 They are lines of special danger on which no schoolhouse, skyscraper or dam should be built They should be avoided, as far as possible, by rail- road lines, bridges, aqueducts and other public works, and yet it hap pens that they often run through val leys where such works are suggested by the conditions of the ground. As long as builders remain ignorant of their position they run the risk of inviting destruction, it was added;
New Britain herald., 1923-01-26

but it is not difficult by proper study 10 locate these lines of danger on a map and to make the information public for the benefit of engineers and others. Indeed. there is now being published an earthquake rift map of the state of California. showing the lines of active rifts and also of faults that are supposed to be inactive, as result of the work carried on in cooperation with the institution's .ad- visory committee.
 That is how the engineers who laid out the new water supply line for San Francisco were able to remove it from the former line which fol- lowed an active rift for miles. and locate it along a mountain range, where. if it moves at all, will move as d block and not become dislocatcd or destroyed.

EARTHQUAKES MAY
 NOW BE DETECTED
Scientists Claim That Many Cities
 and Towns May Be Saved

Washington, Jan. 26.--Claims are
 now being put forth by scientists who
 have made an exhaustive study of
 earthquakes that it is now possible in
 many instances to detect the possibili.
 ty of an earthquake. They also see
 in their discoveries a possibility that
 in the future it may be possible to l forecast quakes as weather is now l predicted. If this is so, then many
 cities and towns may be saved by a
 preparedness" movement.
 The earthquake plane is often spoken of as fracture but it is
 really not break. a recent state
 ment of the institution declares. It
 which have never been united, but
 which for ages have been slipping past each other: and where this plane comes to the surface of the earth there is line called an earthquake rift. The greatest of these rifts in in the United States, so far as known, extends along the coast ranges of California for distance of 500 miles. It passes just west of San Francisco, to the east of Los Angeles. and dis appears in the Gulf of California. Along the San Andreas rift, as it is called, earth shocks have occurred at different times in different sections.
 No Movement of Late.
 South of that stretch for some 300 miles there has been no movement since 1857 when a severe shock oe- cured, the mark of which may still | be traced across the desert plains like | an irrigation ditch, Still further south there have been several recent | shocks, but none of great violence. there is evidence of consid- erable activity in the section east and west of Los Angeles.
 For some years now, the Carnegie Institution has been deep in the study Of earthquakes, and only recently or yanized the advisory committee in seismology, calling on the co-opera- ion of many other scientists to aid m the research. It's activities have resulted in the discovery of many acts of practical importance to man sind in this connection. The CO., operation of the United States navy vas obtained in making q depth- measuring survey over large area Id iacent to the California coast, and while the survey was made to find he trend of earthquake rifts, it re- ulted in important data for marines ! md map makers. Through the finan- ial assistance of the Carnegie Foun- ation. of New York, Dr. Bailey Will is. seismologist Of Stanford Eniver- ity. was sent by the institution to l rhile 10 study the effects of the re- ent earthquake there and survey the aim being to arrive at

Ease and Satisfaction

Two children, at home from school
in the evening the older several grades
ahead of the younger, are settling down
to work out their tasks in arithmetic
The older gives glance over the exam
pies of the younger, and exclaims:
"Whew! that would be easy for me. {"
But, by his manner in working at the
more advanced examples which form
his task, it is evident that he is awake
to the requirements of the higher
grade, and has satisfaction in meet
ing them. He has evident pleasure and
satisfaction in doing the harder work.
He has, in way, heavier burden,
but, by exercise, he has a greater abili-
ty to carry it.

Coolidge recently, "less intelligence,

TREES REQUIRE PROPER CARE
Merely Planting One Under Good Con
ditions viii Not Be Found to
Give Full Satisfaction.

The lack Of care of home land
scape becomes most noticeable at this
season. In this statement l refer to
the care Of trees on our lawns, says q
writer in the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Many times we notice buckeye trees,
as well rs many other species, with
the leaves all eaten off, after which
second crop Of leaves appears only to
be killed by the frost. This is hard
on the life of the tree. The city has
spent great deal of money on the
planting and care of trees, while the
average citizen considers a tree a per-
manent fixture of the house. A band
our town requires and can support.
Of fly paper is sometimes put around
the trunk and does some good for a
short time, then becomes dry and use
less, whereas band Of cotton will last
a full season or even several seasons.
A band of cotton prevents worms from
attacking the tree, thereby keeping it
looking better longer. 1t Is not "too
much trouble" nor "too expensive"
The average person will spend much
more time on few flowers, for which
l do not condemn them, but they last
only one season, while the trees that
should last many years, die prema-
turely from the lack of little atten-
tion. There Is, of course, much more
work to make a tree last its maximum
life, but little attention adds many
years to its existence.

METHODIST CHURCH

Last Sunday was a good day in
church activities. A fine attendance
of appreciative people was present at
all the services of the day. The Sun
day school had the largest offering it
has had for more than two years. The
new and complete secretarial system.
recently introduced into the school. is
having telling effect for good.
The theme at the preaching service,
"The Four Square Life" seemed to
hit the right spot, and brought many
encouraging remarks from appreciative
hearts.
The Epworth League service was of
an extraordinary character. The en-
tire session was taken up by the report
Of the colder Boys Conference" re.

report was given by Earl Hopkins, our
representative delegate. It was filled
with good things for the young folks,
and was given i ma fine way. There
were about fifty present for this -ses.

For the evening service an illustrated
address was given on "Eastern and
Southern Asia" The attendance was
even larger at this service than in the
morning. The many beautiful slides
shown impaired great store of mis-
sfonary information, and the people
went away very much pleased witA the
service.
Sermon Subjects for Next Sunday

At the morning service a class will
be received into the church. The doors
