Formations That May Cause
Future Quakes Charted.

Denver, ColO.-Numerous dead faults,
created years ago by earth move
ments, probably when the Rocky
mountains were being appraised, and
which might cause earthquakes at
some future time, have been located
and charted by government biologists
and others between Denver and Long
mont and Boulder, Colo, and in the
vicinity Of Golden, Colo.
United States geological survey pub
LEGATIONS showing the geology Of the
Denver basin delineate the dead faults.
Many biologists believe such faults in
California to have been the cause of
the recent disastrous Santa Barbara
quake.
Z. I. Lupton, consulting geologist
of Denver, says there is well-defined
zone of dead faults at least one-quar-
ter of mile wide and 10 to Is miles
long, between Denver and Longmont.

Nature Embossed
CarUed Initials

An American beech tree was cut
down about one mile north of Norris
vile, Pa. On splitting a section Of
this tree into firewood a remarkable
work of nature was brought to light.
On one of the pieces of wood were
plainly embossed the initials "a. j. D.,
]. E. D., 1885," and on the other piece
were letters and figures exactly cor
responding to the embossed ones,
says Nature Magazine. A careful
examination shows that the tree must
have been about siXty-seven years OLD
when the initials were cut. The en-
bossed part was nearest to the bark.
1t is supposed that the tree, in
growing, gradually evergreen the part
with the initials cut in it, when it's
tissue was pressed into the mold-like
initials, forming genuinely embossed

better explanation? What a story Of
love or romance! The sections of

Recognize Matron
in Latest Modes

The World war of 1914-'1S is re-
sponsible for the present trend of the
mode toward feminine grace and COM
parative maturity. Lest this sound
overly dogmatic, says a fashion cor
respondent in the New York Herald
Tribune, we hasten to explain that it
is merely theory, but it is an ex-
ceedingly tenable theory, based on
close observation.
The premise is patent enough. A
cursory glance at models worn at the
Ritz in Paris is convincing evidence
that flaming youth is no longer the
mOtivating force of fashion. Not that
there are any traces of decrepit age
on the frocks, but the atmosphere of
fapperism has been replaced by
graceful dignity that is infinitely
easier on the eyes. Obviously, there
must be reason for the retreat of
youth and we append our solution.
The great youth myth of the pres
ent decade was unQuestionably
founded on the liberating influence
of the equally great war. Costumes
manners and morals were all sub
jected to radical revision by the
debs and subdebs of 1917 and the
older generation was powerless TO
stem the tide. The reason was easily
evident. Here was a group of girls,
ranging in years from about eight
cen to twenty eight, who, because of
the dearth of men, were suddenly
thrown into more responsible posi-
lions than their Victorian mothers had
ever dreamed of. Some were Liberty
loan speakers, some were yeomen,
actual members of the navy. Some
worked tirelessly at canteens and
many stepped ably into the niche left
vacant by the fighting man. Over
night, almost, they became a power
in the land and they proceeded forth
with to make their influence felt.
When Questions Were Asked.
The luxurious locks and the heavily
encompassing corset that had -four
ished through the years were the first
to feel the arrogant hand of the new
youth, and they were followed by
many other costume innovations, not
always of proven taste. When ma
turer minds demonstrated, the young
er generation, serenely needless,
would ask, what war were you in?"
And even San Juan hill and Dewey
We're insufficient answers to the con-
temporaries of Foch, Pershing and
Haig. Irresistibly the war youth swept
on and eventually maturity capitulated
and borrowed the manners and cos
tunes of their flappery juniors.
Since the spring of 1924 there has
been manifested a counter current to
these tides of youth. At each subse-
quent Paris opening the tendency has
gathered greater momentum. Today
fashion has acquired a graceful, dig
nified atmosphere despite its occa
sional bizarre fiare-backs, and it is
our opinion that the war girls have
taken hold of the situation again and
are responsible for the feminine dig
nifty of present fashions.
They're not as young as they once
were, these originators of the cult of
youth, and on the continent they have
seen eleven summers pass since the

by mannequins from the leading cou-
ture establishments are often a Bit
too exaggerated and extreme for gen.
eral acceptance, nevertheless the or
igin of style that achieves success
frequently may be traced back to its
initial appearance at Longchamp,
Chantilly or Auteuil.
This year the chic French woman
has finally departed from her usual
custom of adhering to black, white or
her favorite magpie combinations of
these tones and has elected to appear
in the soft pale tints that have such
allure and distinction.
Beige tones are much in vogue and
there is evidenced a liking for shades
of cobalt, blue-green, rose, amber and
the wide range of violine shades.
These are chosen for both printed
frocks and for the semi-sports models
fashioned of light crepes.
The Importance of the large hat was
definitely established by the numbers
which appeared at the races. Many
were of erin in lovely light colors, but
from a fashion point of view the
most noteworthy hats were large cape
lines of velvet in shades of fuchsia,
dahlia, amaranth, bois de rose and cy-
clamen with the wide brims and small
crowns proclaiming their recent origin.
Soft Crowned Velvet Hats.
Considerable interest is manifested
in the early opening Of milliners who
apparently are making a concerted eff
fort to introduce models which will at
least equal the vogue Of the small felt
and velours hats. In practically every
collection there are many models fash
toned entirely of velvet with soft, Dill
able crowns. Some are Of medium size
with a slight upward tilt at the sides
and back and are in flattering rather
brilliant shades.
Elaborate brocades and velvets of
unparalleled richness are also shown
at the Paris exposition and because
of their unusual beauty it is predicted
that they will have an important bear
ing upon the fashion trend of the au-
tumn season.
Poiret also displays feeling for
graceful wraps modelled on the lines
of capes and has designed a reversible
cape which is black velvet on one side
and apricot on the other. Bands of
white fox complete its aspect of lux
ury.
The necessity for an evening wrap
somewhat more substantial than the
gossamer affairs of chiffon and geor-
gette crepe that often are an integral
part Of the evening costume has
brought about the Introduction of a
new version of the shawl Fashioned
of chiffon velvet and bordered with a
wide band of fur, or Of metal brocade
outlined with deep border Of velvet,
it is an elongated square in shape and
may be draped into lines and folds
adapted to each individual wearer.
For evening wear chiffon velvet in
pale orchid shades is used by several
of the most important couturiers who
also employ this fabric in a shade OF
brilliant green for dinner and evening
| gowns.

vailed again against modern youth.
The couture, unable to rid itself of the
myth of jeunesse, was reluctant at
first to change it's base, but the war
generation was inexorable and the
designers commenced gradually to sue
cumb. The flare, the jabot, the godet
and hosts of other feminizing details
have all entered the lists of fashion,
and the spirit of the moment is grace
full and comparatively mature feminine

HOSPITAL RULES ARE

It is brought to the attention of the pub&c by the hospital authori- ties that rules and regulations, based upon the experiences of officials in well-conducted hospitals and by physicians, are absolutely necessary for the proper maintenance of such institutions. to safeguard the health of patients, and the well-being of the public generally,
 t appears that some of the rules of New Bri'ain's hospital have been criticized. That such criticism is not based upon logic is clearly shown by the statement of the hospital au- thorities. There appears to be no rule that is not based upon the promptings of experience.
 There appear to be a pIenitude Of persons who believe they know how 10 run a hospital better than the physicians themselves; just as there are a plcnitude of persons - in cluding physicians - who believe they know how to run a newspaper better than the editors. This trait is part of human nature.
 But the old rule of shoemaker stick to thy last" still holds good.

 The world acclaims the emancipa- ton of these modern slaves with satisfaction. Although the English people were unaware of this slavery under the aegis of their empire, 1t Is likely that the British government was well aware of the survival of this ancient social institution.
 Domestic slavery and its .elimlna- ton occupied mems minds from early times, but 1t persisted as an institution through ages because men could not think of comfort for the free class without it. Plato, with the ability to reason in advance of his time, wished to abolish slavery and engendered considerable popular feeling against 1t.

 Oysters produce an immense number of young in order to con- pensate for the heavy mortality that occurs at all stages of growth, but particularly in the early months. It is an astonishing biological fact that in some species of oyster each sex is represented by a different individual, as in the oyster of the Atlantic coast of North America: while in other species both sexes are united in one individual-the male stage alternat- ing with the female, as in the con- mon oyster of the Atlantic coast Of Europe.
 "The human animal is not the only one that looks with favor upon the edible qualities of the oyster. At every stage in it's career it is att tackled by horde of dangerous en- emies, some of which are most de- structive after the oyster has put on it's stoutest armor and would seem to be almost invulnerable. Before 1t becomes attached, the delicate oys- ter fry is extensively consumed by adult oysters and various other she'll fish, as well as~by fishes like the Menhaden, which are able to strain their food from the water. When the oyster attains its shell, a new set of shellfish enemies, provided with drills, begin their attacks and ex- tract the soft parts through minute holes. In some localities various snail-like mollusks do immense dam age to the beds of oysters in their first year"

FOGGY WEATHER AND SPEED DON'T MIX

Foggy weather that we have been having closely follows similar weather that was reported in 1S states of the Middle West on Satur- day. It is too much to suppose that the fog banks pushed their way from the west to the east, but it is easier to think that similar atmos- pheric conditions caused both.
 Our modern life is so complex and Is "speeded up" so enormously that whenever such a blanket of fog de- scends accidents some of them fatal - occur. It would be clear even to a school child that speed In fog is the height of absurdity, but rapid transit" continues to be rapid - until there Is a smash; automobiles continue to rush for ward pellmel until they are stopped suddenly. Only the captains of the ocean liners seem to be inn bued with good sense, as they keep their vessels tied to the piers during fogs instead of venturing to depart when scheduled to do so.
 It was only several months ago that large vessel was badly dam aged and life sacrificed when rammed by another ship during a fog of Point Judith, there having been no diminution of speed, &C., cording to the testimony at the in- vest, gation which followed. Acci- dents on the high seas for similar reasons are not uncommon.
 Speed and fogs, like whiskey and gasoline, Cont mix.

SUPPOSE SHELLY MURDER HAD BEEN SUPPRESSED?

The Christian Century, a religious publication of ChicagoF has been suggesting to the Chicago news papers to discontinue publishing all reference to crime for a month, in the meantime playing up" virtue and noticing the reaction among readers.
 The religious weekly evidently doesn't think there is a shred of news interest in crime. But the Chi cago editors, having a slightly longer experience in catering to the de- mands of the public, have not, yet signifcd their intention to print "crimcless newspapers"
 The truth is, the Chicago papers haven't been doing more than mak- ing a cursory note of three-fourths of the crime occurring in Chicago. l. is only crime attended by unusual circumstances that has an interest to the editors. But crime of a sort calculated to be of general interest is handled in a vivid manner. Some of the religious papers objections evidently are based upon this fact.
 Getting close to home, suppose such an "anti-crime" publication rule had been in force In New Brit ain at the time of the murder of Po- Iiccman James Skelly. Such thing is inconceivable. but "let's suppose What would have been the pubic reaction toward the newspapers for refusing to print details-and all the details-of this crime and the fact that Gerald Chapman, the most notorious criminal of the age was suspected of having fired the fatal shot?
 Such thing manifcstly would have been ridiculous. At least one oi the city's ministers made reference 10 the murder from the pulpit the morning it happened. !
 Crime news is agitating a consid- erable proportion of good people who claim they are not interested In crime. As Q class they also are not interested in a variety of other de- partments in every newspaper.
 But let a startling crime be com mitted near their homes and they will read it and discuss it with the worst of us.

MORE SHAME FOR RHODE ISLAND

The Springfield Republican has done a service to New England in calling attention to the law in Rhode Island which allows the lrn- prisonment of persons for debt.
 The Springfield paper has enumer- ated some of the more fragrant cases occurring Under this law in recent years. It is stated that GOA men and 50 women have been imprisoned in the neighboring state under this statute during the past seven years.
 Such law is not only a disgrace to Rhode Island, but should arouse the indignation of other New Eng land states. "Rhoddy" is the only states in the Union in which inn prisonment for debt is permitted.
