Sun Spots Not
Earthquake Cause?

Berkeley, Cal, Nov. IL ca. P.)-
Fear that earthquakes may result
from the accumulation of spots on
the sun is without scientific basis,
according to w. F. Meyer, associate
professor of astrophysics at the Uni
versity Of California.
The sun spots. which have been
causing much speculation lately, are
under continual observation at the
university and at other observatories.
Professor Meyer said: although
these spots are constantly coming
together and breaking up to form
new ones, the total area is not in
creasing to any appreciate amount.
AS far as we know, they have moth
ing to do with cyclones on the earth
or with our weather conditions in
any respect. The only noticeable eff
feet is on the auroral displays at the
Pole and in causing magnetic storms.

Efficient Service
Over Poor Tracks
Is Russia's Credit

Moscow. Oct. 10 "a. P. by maiD -
In the midst of the general industrial
prostration. social disintegration. and
the breakdown of many Of the
normal processes of life in Russia,
nothing seems SO striking as the eff
cheney and comfort Of the railroad
service. Although the Soviet has far
from an adequate number of locomo-
tives or passenger coaches, 1t main
tains a travel service which. II much
below the standard Of imperial days,
Is at the same time a credit to the
country with it's present depleted re-
sources.
Americans and other foreign Wis
ttors may travel from Warsaw, Ber-
lin or Riga to the larger cities Of
Russia and enjoy many of the COM
forts which existed before the war.
Although there are. as rule, no
dining cars on these trains, passen.
gers may secure wholesome food at
the station restaurants along the
route. There are no regular Sleep
ing cars, as in pre-war days, but
comfortable berths and compart-
ments Of the local Russian type,
equipped with clean bed linen, us
ually can be secured. First-class
fares are considerably less than In
the United States.
On most of the longer routes with
! In Russia, regular sleeping and res
| taurant cars are maintained and, ex-
| cept in the matter of speed and the
number of trains daily, the service
falls little short Of the pre-revolution
| standard. Between Moscow and
Petrograd there are several excellent
trains daily. First-class trains are
run also from Moscow and Petrograd
| to Batum. Tifiis. Baku, Odessa, the
Crimea. and other points. Once a
week there are express trains be-
tween Moscow and Vladivostok, with
international sleeping-cars and din
ers attached, the trip occupying
/ about IL days.
| On all these Journeys, however, the
passenger soon realizes that the most
serious defect in the Russian rail-
| road service is the deplorable condi-
| ton of the tracks. the roadbed and
the cross-ties, which have not been
! replaced for years.
The railroads in Russia are run at
| a great deficit. The repair of the
badly-worn rolling stock, the renew
al Of parts. the building of new
passenger and freight-cars, the
Strengthening and repair Of insecure
| bridges, and the reconstruction Of
ruined water-towers and round
houses, have entailed enormous ex-
pense. The Soviet authorities are
trying to secure a loan abroad for
the Russian railroads. but the terms
have not been sufficiently liberal to
attract foreign capital.

Fruit vs.. Candy For Kids

People insist on poisoning their
children needlessly with candy"
mourned q well-known physician re-.
Gently. They could just as well give
them ripe fruit: the child would be
just as well pleased and happy and a
hundred times healthier. ,
This may seem to be discounting
my profession, but no doctor wants
sick children. Where one might be
made sick from overeating fruit, q
thousand will be made sick from
candy, even the best and purest Of
candy. Fruit Is attractive 70 the eye,
the smell and the taste. A fine red
apple. an orange. a peach. a pear,
all appeals to the child as much as
candy.
children crave sweets. They
need a certain amount of sugar to
develop properly. They can't be de-
prived OF 1t and flourish, but q Child
can't be held to moderation and RAJ
toned properly on candy or sugar as
he should be. Fruit supplies the
sugar and q child In not likely to
overeat enough to harm himself on
apples. peaches or oranges. II In q
matter Of training. and q child will
cry for fruit as eagerly a. he does
for candy. once he gets the idea that
II IL good to eat. and he can be given
the fruit where he cannot be given
the candy"
The taste for fruit starts when the
tiny baby IL given his FIRST orange
juice, and II properly dieted will con-
tinue. The one precaution to be
taken Is TO see. first that the fruit
IL well rjpened and then that II 10
clean. Keep an apple barrel for the
children. buy peaches by the basket
when In season. and later on get
oranges by the box. They will cut
down the doctor bills and be an
economy in the long run.
