SEVERAL SHOCKS FELT.
West Has Been Visited by Numerous
EarthuuakeS.

DENVER, Colo, Juno 20 R.-De-
spite claims of some scientists that
the Rocky Mountains and Western
regions are protected from earth
quake dangers, several notable shocks
have been felt over large portions
of the Western United States in the
past Is years.
One of the most widespread seismic
disturbances was that which shook
most of Arizona in September, 1910.
The first shocks started on Septem-
Der %, with Williams, Winslow,
Kingman and Jerome reporting tre-
reported that the disturbance was
still continuing, with considerable
minor damage. The center of the
Arizona quake was reported to be in
the vicinity of the Grand Canyon.
the shocks were severe enough to
send giant bowlders tumbling down
the mountains and whole Indian viii
lagos fed in terror.
San Francisco ON December 81 of
the same year reported severe
tremor, but damage was slight.
Boiling Water Hurled.
On July 1, 1911, San Francisco re-
ported earth shocks of 40 minutes
duration, almost as long as the fatal
San Francisco trembler and fire Of
April 1s. 1906, although in the 1911
disturbance little damage was re-
ported. The shocks extended in
land, however. Reno. New. reporting
that hot springs at Steamboat
Springs, New. quiescent for years.
had commenced shooting boiling
water high in the air at the moment
the earthquake began.
One of the worst shocks felt on
the North American continent in re-
cent years was that which rocked

ed.
Northern Illinois and southern Wis
consin were Jared by an inland
earthquake January 2, 1912
An earthquake lasting several sec
onds was felt at Salt Lake City,
Utah, April 12, 1913. The shocks
were sufficient to rock transmitters

was reported felt through southern

BUYERS WARNED
IN HEALTH CRUSADE
Health Office to Advise Gus.
toners Not to Handle
Fo0dstuffs in Stores.

Signs warning customers not to
handle foodstuffs will be distributed to
every grocery store in Washington
and to the markets as one step In a
campaign to safeguard conditions
under which food is sold, Health Of
fiCer William c. Fowler announced
today.
The placards are intended to be
placed in a conspicuous place in the
store and remind purchasers that 1t
is dirty and dangerous to handle
commodities that are on display"
DR.. Fowler said this method of
educating the public Is not new, simi.
lar cards having been distributed sew
eral years ago. The health officer de-
cided to have them distributed again
following recent discussion OF the
sanitary condition Of the meat supply.
Citizen Files Complaint.
One citizen wrote to DIR. Fowler re-
Gently complaining that meat y eE-
posed to handling by customer and
where dust and flies may light
upon it.
DR.. Fowler explained that there Is
a regulation providing that foodstuffs
must be effectually protected from
dust and insects and that he has re-
Gently instructed his corps OF inspec-
tors to see that this rule Is carried
out.
The regulation permits the use OF
motor-driven fans as a means OF keep
ing instcts away from foodstuffs,
but DIR. Fowler said it does not specif-
cally state that such commodities
must be inclosed in cases. The health
officer said, however, he had advised
his men to take whatever steps they
deem necessary OF carry out that Ian
guage of the regulation, which pro-
vides that the food shall be "effectual-
ly" protected.
Lunchroom Safeguards.
In this connection DR.. Fowler said
that most of the lunchrooms have in
recent years provided cases for edibles
that are displayed on counters.
Anothel suggestion made to DIR.
Fowler within the past few days was
that medical inspection be provided of
all persons engaged in handling food
stuffs in public establishments. The
health officer said this is not provided
for by law In Washington, but is
voluntary feature of dairy.farm and
lunchroom inspecting.

HANNA FAVORS SIDE
POLES FOR CARS
Would Change Connecticut
Avenue Line-Opposes
Underground Conduits.

The ca pital Traction Co. is opposed
to installing the underground current
system on it's Connecticut avenue
trackage, but is in favor of remov-
Ing the trolley poles from the center
to the sides of the avenue, John H
Hanna. vice president of the com
pany, advised Maj. W. +. r. Covell
in q letter to the utilities commission
today.
The letter was in answer to a query
from Maj. Covell following the acci-
dent in which three persons We're
killed when an automobile plunged off
the klingle Bridge. The accident re-
ViVed discussion of the advisa bility
OF removing trolley poles from the
center of thhe avenue. In concluding
the letter Mr.. Hanna said:
Prevent Accidents.
While, as stated before. We believe
II would be to the interests of the pub
lie TO have center poles removed from
Connecticut avenue and side.p pole con
struction substituted, we think it
well to state that in our opinion the
existence of center poles on klingle
Bridge was in no way responsible for
the very regrettable accident which
recently happened on that bridge. A
a matter of fact. we believe the pres
ence of poles in the center of the
bridge would be more apt TO prevent
such an accident than otherwise
Mr.. Hanna cited the cost as the
objection TO the underground conduit
system on Connecticut avenue, stating
that 1t would necessitate an outlay of
$500,Q0 at the present time, with no
proba bility of the cost being reduced
to any considerable extent in the
future.
Would Isolate Tracks
Mr.. Hanna told the commission that
if Connecticut avenue were wider he
would favor center poles, with the car
track space isolated from the traffic
roadways. The avenue, however. is
| not of sufficient width TO make this
treatment possible, he added Under
existing conditions, he went on, the
center poles should be removed in the
interests Of safety and to assist in
preventing traffic congestion.
Maj. Covell will make a report to
the Commissioners soon on the ques-
ton of what should be done on Con
| necticut avenue.

But little experience ayailcth

Go to. thou Theorist, I say unto
thee. matrimony is not ALL storms.
neither all fair weather; and thou
canst not foretell one day. what the
domestic atmosphere shall be the
next.
For. why shalt thou say it shall
rain tomorrow. because it is raining
today? Or, my wife shall be com
placent tomorrow, because she is
pleasant today?
Nay, take thy joys. thy sorrows
and thy wife's moods, even as Christ

theories and thou shalt dwell in peace
of mind.
For, a teetotaler may read Of cham

read trcatises on wedlock; yet how
shall they know aught concerning
these until they have TRIED them?
