The future commercial prosperity
of Chefoo, China, a city of 100000
population, depends largely on whether
American women will continue to
bob their hair. Chefoos chief indus
try is making hair nets and they sell
$5OOO,0O0 worth to this country each
year, in addition to exporting $3,O60,-

Causes of Earthquakes

What produces earthquakes is a
problem not yet settled to the satisfac-
ton of the scientist. Tremors of the
earth may be caused by explosion of
mines, falling in of caves, slipping of
rock strata and many other move
ments of the earth, but these do not
explain the great shocks satisfactorily.
Earthquakes are likened with volcanic
activity, but which of the two is cause
and which effect is not known.
