Recent earthquake tremors felt
throughout Northamptonshire. England,
have called to memory the shocks ex-
perienced in England TIA years ago
In February and March, 1850, violent
earth tremors shook London, causing
the bells of Westminster and other
churches to ring. and throwing people
into a panic. Thousands went ten
miles out of London, and hundreds OF
thousands refused TO live in their
houses. sleeping out at night in spe
cially designed earthquake gowns"
sort Of specially warm dressing gown
The shocks continued at intervals
until September. and so terror-stricker
had the folks become that they were
prepared to turn to anything for safe
ty, and quacks made fortunes from the
sale Of earthquake pills" which were
supposed to render folks immune from
danger in earth tremors.

Tortoise Shell

Tortoise shell is used as veneering
in fine cabinet work. 1t is cut for such
purpose in exactly the same manner
as any of the fine woods. There are
two grades of thickness, the saw cut
and the knife cut. The first, averag-
ing from 1872 to 1-16 of an inch IN
thickness, is cut with small saw.
The knife cut makes from 60 to 100
sheets to an inch. The knife is used
something like plane. The object is
fixed on a table and the knife blade
works backwards and forwards. Tor
toise shell was formerly cut by hand
about ne-eighth of an inch in thick
ness and then planned. 1t may be soft
ened by gentle heat and then be cut
readily.

Hardly in the most lavishly staged
motion picture was there ever elab-
GRATED such an affecting agricultural
scene as that recently portrayed of our
president forking hay on Vermont
farm.
The President rode to the hay field
in high priced car. He was attend
ed by his secretary, G. Bascom Slemp'
great harvester himself, not of hay
but of campaign funds. Added to the
scene were ten secret service men,
three moving picture men, ten photog'
raphers, and a great retinue of news
paper men.

The Continental Divide

The word 'divide" in this sense has
the same meaning as watershed"
which is an elevated ridge of land
parting the waters of two drainage sys-
TENS. The Continental divide in Amer
ica follows the line of the Rocky noun
tains. On one side of the divide the
water flows to the Pacific, on the other
to the Atlantic. A large region in
Montana and Wyoming is known as
"The Great Divide because it is the
natural geographic center of North
America. Water from the Great Di-
vide flows to the Atlantic, to the Gulf
of Mexico. to the Pacific and to the
Arctic ocean.

DEFENSE DAY.

BY the memorable rule OF the army
General Pershing will be retired on
Sept. IL, 1924 Although fit in every
respect, he must step down and out at
the age of "a. Coincidently, on that
date the nation will observe Defense
Day, around which more or less &C
riplonious discussion is now revolving
Of this event Pershing said:
s'Defense Day was planned merely
because we should find out where we
stand ON the matter of national de-
Tense. We have on the statute books
wise laws, based upon our experience
of war and on all of our experience
as nation. These contemplate the
organization in time of peace of a
skeleton defense force that can be
expended in time of war. 1t is en-
.tirely voluntary and -militaristic-
ssThe World War for us may be
likened to a fire. We had to carry
water in buckets to put out this fire.
This has been very expensive meth
cd. Now we think we have progressed
and should have volunteer fire de
partment and fire engine. We are
now going to test the efficiency of
the company and try out the hose we
have acquired.
We have been running to these
fires with buckets for $50 years, put
we now hope that preparedness will
make this no longer necessary.
That seems to summarize the argu-
ments behind this voluntary census
giving of man power. The other side
contends that it is unwise to designate
such a day because it gives an impress
sion to the world we are tending to-
ward militarism and that the fighting
germ is thereby kept alert.
The controversy has gotten into
politics, as might have been expected,
and into religions, as was not APP
parently expected. The battle is rag
fiercely. One gets the idea there are
some wars that are endless and that
peace is never to be. Probably no one
viii be killed, during the course of the
controversy itself, but there may be
casualties unnecessarily growing out
of it. If the supporters of Defense
Day find themselves nationally in the
majority, it's opponents declare we may
Soon be plunged into another war. If
the opponents of Defense Day triumph,
its sponsors declare we may shortly
be called upon to defend ourselves
without being prepared and, therefore,
will sustain heavy losses that might
have been avoided. 1t seems we are
in for it from either horn of this set
of prophesies and that we may not
look upon this word war with any as
surance it is to have no sanguinary
offspring
