we build, the more likelihood of
there being city in the place
where particular earthquake
comes.
Unless we build cities earthquake
proof, a constantly increasing num-
Der of them will be devastated.
Most of the fantastic speculations
regarding the city of the future en-
visage structures which an earth
quake would destroy. With cities
already built, we must take the
chances, and the consequences.
fBut we should not, even in our
dreams, plan future cities on the
assumption that the "solid earth
will remain solid. Whatever il
built for the ages" must be built
to withstand the earthquake which
the ages are sure to bring.

thetic, provided the purpose was
scientific; bat if the purpose was
other than scientific. it expressly
authorized the dehorning, gelding,
caponizing and branding of animals
without anesthetic and with pain.
This would have prevented the

OF drugs or serums, on animals.

their tails, TO make them look smart

How to Do Away With Second Best
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

IT has been said that mans most
dangerous enemy was his second best
self. Few descend to the lowest of
which they are capable, and fewer
yet to the highest, 50 the average
lies in between, somewhere in the
vicinity of "second best" Sometimes
Second best is rather good. That
Is why 1t is so dangerous. One may
be so nearly satisfied with its results
that the impulse to change is lacking.
But those who know the art of living,
| that art of which home-making is as
much a part, recognize the fallacy of
| second best and battle against it as
| they would against the moths that
eat holes in their fine materials,
against disorder in their closets and
dirt in their kitchens.
1t is partly a sense OF proportion
| and fine adjustment, this knowing
how to do away with second best 1t
Is true that unless there be numerous
servants or the household be very
| small. IL is not physically possible
| for a wife and mother to devote the
attention that she might like to the
| details of household. And If Johnny
| needs watching II Is impossible to be
| in another part Of the house polishing
| the silver, tarnished though it be. If
her husband comes home tired she
| cannot be sitting quietly with him.

at one and the same time. Nor is the
problem always solved by the pres
ence of adequate servants.
A Rare Quality.
The giving of ones best is a quail
| ity, not merely a matter of leisure
| time. There are activities outside of
the home that interfere as much as
the burden of housework. These may
| be fine in themselves and often are
! but in entering into them it is for
| the housewife to decide where her
best" belongs.
| Best None Too Good.
| No one is more deserving of receiv-
ing the best that a woman can give
than her husband and children. When
a man comes home in the evening il
is likely that he has had a busy and
| perpleXing day. 1t is also likely that
