FORECASTING EARTHQUAKES

Prof. Andrew C. Lawson OF the University of Cali
forna, intimately acquainted with the geology Of the
the United Staes says that may be possible to
predict earthquakes with "a fair degree Of accuracy
The cause of the earthquakes, he explains is we'll
known. The Pacific coast is crawling northward
at the rate of about two inches year. The middle Of
the continent is crawling southwark. There is prob
ably similar gradual movement Of the eastern coast
in the vicinity of Charleston. The result strainng
of the earths crust wich grows greater and greater
until at last the slightly elastic crust snaps and the lay
of rock and earth spring into position with
great quiverng of the entire crust Observation OF the
rapidity of the bending and the time it has been going
in any region since the last readustment will give
the geoogists pretty good idea of when the next
may be expected.
Prof. Lawson warns the public, however, that real
accuracy is impossible. Such earth movements cannot
be forotold with anything like the certainty of weather
forecasts. The geoogists could not be Of either
the time the force of the quakes. If they warned
a community of an impending disaster, the people
might all flee, and then after waiting few days and
finding that nothing happened they might return just
in time to catch it.
So there will be no official forecasting. The best
way to guard against earthquakes, says this scientist
is not to away from them but to erect strong build
ings.

STRIVING FOE EFFICIENCY

The banks of Imperial county have taken an in
teresting and important step in the matter of organ
izng their employees into school for instruction.
The banks Of the county already have an organiz-
alton for the consideration of problems that
their financial policy and the welfare of the commun-
tiles they serve. This is the ordinary method of pro-
noting their general business 1t is one almost uni
versally practced by banks, as well as by other lines
of business.
But the departure is of rather different
nature 1t is intended to better the personnel of the
banks It's purpose is to promote study of the tech
nical side of banking the part Of the young men
who engaging in this sort of work and who hope to
distinguish themselves during their life time in the
cessful pursuit of it. Perhaps these young do
wish to be held up examples but it is nevertheless
fitting to call attention to what they doing. We
are certain that it will in the years to prove its
value to the particular individuals engaged in it, and
to the whole community
The past several months have been testing time
for the banks of this valley. To say that they have
come through it all to condition of such commendable
soundness proof of their efficiency The organ
zation of employees but adds to the evidence that there
is a wise spirit predominatng.

LUCKY CHILDREN

A newspaper in a big eastern CITY sees little need
of al this agitation about child labor 1t cites the case
Of man who when boy, forced by poverty to go
to work. and whose employment has finally landed hl1n
in the position Of first vice president and director OF
a worsted mills concern in New Jersey. The paper ap-
pears to believe that abolshng child labor will compel
lot of future vice presidents of companies to stick to
their childhood poverty The used as example,
they say, was lucky enough to beat the child labor
amendment to it. W.,
To which "Thc American Child, monthly bulletin
of the National Child Labor Committee replies:
"This is not the only one who was lucky
enough to beat the child labor amendment to it. May
we now hear roll call of the first vice presidents and
directors among these millions OF others? And don't
forget to canvass the poorhouses, the jais, and the
graveyards. You'll find lots Of lucky ones there.
The proposed child labor amendment to the Con
stitution which would give Congress right to limit or
prohibit child labor in the United States is at the top
of the congressional calendar. There will be good
deal of determination and ingenuity used in the fight
waged against this amendment. Any citizen who loves
little children any citizen who believes that boys and
girls have much right their elders to life liberty
and the pursuit of happiness needs to be the look
for the specious reasoning of those who oppose all
child labor legislation.
There is usually more to the story than appears on
the surface. For poverty driven child who wins
through to ultimate financial success in spite Of the
handicaps of child labor, there hundreds who
hopelessly beaten in the battle of life.

Uncle Wiggily. elf You will en-

the pig,

Mr.. Twistytail. ''I take plenty of

"What do you do?' asked the
