in occurred in the Lombard tunnel
on the Milwaukee lines last night
which temporarily blocked the pas
sage of trains through it.
A branch passenger train of the
Milwaukee lines was held up near
Logan, Mont, because of a trestle,
weakened by the tremors.
Incomplete returns from the af-
fected cities and towns in Montana
told of but three persons suffering
injury in the upheaval. A house
wife. Mrs. Ernie Gray, at Three
Forks, received a broken hip when
the porch of her house collapsed
during tremor as she was leaving
the building. Two motorists near
Butte, received injuries when their
car was caught in the waves of the
earth shocks, and carried over an
embankment.
Fear that the earth upheaval
might be continued with disastrous
effect prompted the residents of
Three Forks and Manhattan to va
cate their homes and sleep in the
streets. They also moved their
household effects from the houses
and today prepared their Sunday
repasts outdoors.
Patrols of police and volunteer
citizens were thrown about build
ings in Three Forks to guard weak
ened structures where danger of
falling walls existed. Plans to raze
with dynamite several of the shat
tered structures were under consid-
Grafton, the authorities said.
The school building at Three
Forks virtually was destroyed. At
Manhattan two school structures
were SO badly shattered that they
may have to be RACED. Three bust
ness structures also at Manhattan,
including the towns bank building,
are badly damaged and have been
abandoned. The schoolhouse at Lo-
gan, Mont, was destroyed.
No fires resulting from the ire
mors have occurred, so far as avail
able reports indicate. However,
many communities have taken pre-
cautions against blazes, police au-
thorities of Manhattan forbidding
the lighting of any fires inside build
ings.

JUDGING RADIO PROGRAMS

Too often, when judging radio
broadcast programs, especially music
amateur critics do not take into con-
sideration the difference in reception
OF the various radio sets. 1t is too
often assumed that everybody listen
ing in hears the same sounds, which
is by no means the case.
A few grains of dust in the tube
socket, a loose connection in the wir-
ing, an unfortunately directed aerial,
or batteries too nearly discharged,
may turn a fine performance into
what sounds like a poor one
However, the interest in radio con-
tinues to increase by leaps and
bounds. During 1920, sales of radio
sets and parts totaled $4,000, 900; by
1924, they reached $500, 900, 900;
and it is the opinion of experts that
sales this year will approximate
$500, 600, 900 or more.
In one Middle Western state alone,
$500 farmers have installed radio
receiving sets.

4. Supporting chimney on the
timber construction of a building or

unity to its exterior.
Z. Smoke-pipes arranged TO enter
a chimney in a vertical line
s.. Carelessness in sealing the
connection between smoke-pipe and
chimney, and failure to anchor the
pipe to the chimney.
8. Carelessness in not renewing
a rested smoke-pipe and also In al
lowing combustible material too near

10. Carelessness in not keeping
the chimney clean and joints In
