These scenes have been repeated in Italy from
time to time. In 1915 central Italy was visited
by quake that took a toll of 10000 lives.
1t would seem at first judgment that such
geological condition would preclude the possibility
of skyscraper skyline. But under its new birth
of semi-democracy, Italy thinks she do it, and
that in the success of such venture lies the
future prosperity of the country.
No one can foretell the result.
1t is noticeable that all countries, or rather
sections visited by earthquakes, are completely
free of high buildings.
In Japan, where more quakes occur than in any
other country on earth, there no skyscrapers.
nor are there likely ever any to be, despite the
density Of population and the huge commerce
carried on by the Japanese.
New York City never has been visited by a
quake, to the best Of anyones recollection. There
is a solid rock foundation for the city. Recently
someone has commenced circulating story which
has not proved. founded In. 1act, tnat assure

Should this prove true and should the rock slip
through any subterranean tremblings, dire things
will happen. But those who are investing their
money in New York real estate feel sure they
will not wake up some fine morning and hnd it
out in the Atlantic Ocean.
And as the people of New York refuse to be-
come alarmed, SO does the new spirit Of Italy re.
fuse to heed warnings Of the past. They plan to
make Rome the New York of Europe. In time
it will have skyline second to none. Here will
be the center Of the worlds wheel Of finance. of

ANOTHER QUAKE

But let us go on and see what else happened
to Italy:
During the six months following the great
catastrophe Messina had been so far rebuilt and
reoccuped as to have acquired population of
more than $4,000.
ITO them on the evening of June 80 and the
morning of July l once more the dread
quaking of their unstable portion of the earth The
shocks described in dispatches similar to the
fatal disturbances of December and we're accom-
panied by the same roaring noises. The people
fled with cries OF terror They hurried to the open
places of the city and surrounding country pray
ing to the saints that their lives be spared.
so far as is known, however, only few people
were hurt, and this undoubtedly is due to the
fact that the city was only partially rebuilt Had

appropriated 100000 for further relief OF the
Italian need.
"a suburb Of 1900 detached frame houses. Of
two or four rooms, were built at Messina 500 were
constructed at Reggie and the remainder at other
towns and villages.
"The Italian Parliament appropriated 100000
Ira or $5O0O0o0 for immediate relief and for the
reconstruction OF the ruined cities. The plans
formed by the italian government included meas
ures to provide for the temporary protection Of
the orphaned young, the deserted and the insane.
"To the effective help and relief rendered by
her Mediterranean squadron, Great Britain added
large contributions of money, mainly collected as
a Mansion House Fund by the lord mayor Of
London. There and everywhere the Red Cross
societies were instant in the field and untiring.''
All of this is mentioned merely to show what
confusion accompanies an earthquake of any. pro.
portions.

seems to consist of q falling and ris.
ing Of the ground in waves that ad.
vance with great rapidity. In other
cases it involves horizontal to-and-
fro movement.
TIME New international Encyclo-
4 pedia says Of this type Of quake:
"The violent motion lasts only q
fraction OF minute usually and sub.
sides into smaller vibrations that
gradually diminish to insensibility.
An earthquake of this kind is almost
always accompanied by sounds,
which, also, are heard sometimes
with moderate shocks.
'The sounds may precede or follow
the man vibrations, and in some
cases the sound and shock appear to
be simultaneous. The sounds are
variously described as resembling
the rumbling OF thunder. the roar Of
heavy artillery ard tho crashing of
an immense mass of glass; no doubt
they are frequently confused with
noise produced by falling objects, the
crushing of timbers, ETC., which is
a sequence rather than an accom-
paniment OF the shock itself. The
actual sound is a low.pitched rum.
bling and is caused by the vibratory
motion of the air in sympathy with
the great waves.
''It always appears to issue from
the earth, but, contrary to popular
belief, is not actually transmitted
through the rocks"
MATURE has way Of warning
L people of impending quakes in
many instances, but it has so hap,
pened that these warnings have vir.
tually been worthless.
For days and even months before
a violent and destructive quake,
there will. sometimes, be slight
tremblings, almost unnoticeable.
But so frequent are slight, harm.
less quakes in these regions, that
these warnings of this kind are un-
needed until the time of safety is
passed.
The Encyclopedia continues:
The source from which the WAGES
emanate is known as the focus. or
center, and the place above the focus
on the surface as the epicentre. The
terms rather imply that disturb
ance begins at a point or within a
very limited zone, but such Is not
the case-at least for all tetonic
earthquakes, the most common and
damaging kind.
The focus involves mass Of three
dimensions, and the epicentrel may
be an area OF several hundred square
miles. The determination Of the
depth Of the focus for different
shocks has been attempted by Nal.
let, Dutton and others, but without
any very conclusive results.
The method used by Mallet rests
upon observations of the effects pro.
duced in walls and buildings, on the
assumption that the cracks develop
mostly at right angles to the direc-
ton of the wave emergence: it is not
very reliable. owing to the numerous
refractions and reflections the waves
undergo before emerging at the sur
face.

quickly, swelling to terrific roar Just before

four times perhaps. and the houses and churches
swayed from side to side in the darkness; for the
young moon had set before midnight, and it lacked
more than an aour Of dawn The whole city and
the towns on both sides of the Straits fell at once
with crash that no language can describe; then
followed that long resounding rumble Of avalanches
of masonry; and when those awful moments were
over nearly 100000 human beings were dead or
injured.
MOUNTAIN OF WATER
almost at the same moment another sound
was heard almost more terrible than the first
the sound of moving mountain Of water; for the
sea had risen bodily in monstrous wave and was
sweeping the harbor carrying away hundreds
of tons of masonry from the outer pier, tearing
ships and iron steamers from their mornings like
mere sEiffs and hurting them against the ruins
of the great Paazzata that was built along the
semi-crcular quay, only to sweep them back, keel
upwards and full Of dead and dying men, as the
hill of water sank down and ebbed away. When
it had quite subsidized the inner portion Of the
harbor was half full Of sand and mud and stranded
wrecks. .s.s

gaslights on the streets continued to burn for a
few minutes, the darkness was almost total.'
Equally horrible, yet vivid, was the description
sent back to this country in the official report of
the American vice CONSUL at Messina, Stuart K.

COCONINO PAYS FOR ROAD
TO DETOUR FLAGSTAFF

Capt. j. B. Wright, Coconino county
highway engineer, and G. t. West,
Navajo county engineer, made a trip
of inspection over the newly con-
structed Sunset Pass road Wednesday.
Grade has been completed for a
distance Of % miles, from the point
where the new road leaves the old
highway, four miles west of Winslow,
to the forest line. On the work but
$1,000 has been expended so far. An
additional fund of $500 has been pro-
vided for the purpose of providing
drainage and building culverts along
the highway. The latter work will
begin Immediately, under supervision
of County Engineer West.
All of this road lies within Coco
nino county and the forest reserve,
and both the neighboring county and
the forest service are putting up a
large proportion of the cost Of con-
struction of this north and south high
way which means so much to Wins

PHOENIX WOMAN VISITS
HERE AFTER so YEARS

An unbroken pine forest covered
the present site of Flagstaff when as
girl, Mrs. Fanny Marlar rode
through here in an OK cart so years
ago.
Mrs. Marlar and party visited her
cousin, Will Marlar, last week, the
first time she had been here since
then. Her "reminiscences were vivid
and interesting. With five other fami-
lies her father, Mr.. Morton, drove
from Salt Lake City to Phoenix,
where he took up land, upon which
he is now living, a hale old man of 90
years.
When crossing Lees Ferry their fa-
vorite milk COW jumped overheard
into quicksands from which it took the
combined efforts of the party to eX-
tricate her. Sunday Mr.. and Mrs. Will
Marlar accompanied Mrs. Marlar and
party to the Petrified Forest. Right
here" said Mrs. Marlar, ''is where we
camped one night and my father told
us children to pick up chips for the
fire, chips which we found heavy and
would not burn" She pointed out the
place east of town where the immi-
grant train met band of MeXicans
and accepted a present of meat. Some
time later when they reached Camp
Verde they learned from soldiers sta
toned there that these were the Mexi-
can raiders who had murdered mem
bers of wagon train, and that the
meat was from oxen belonging to
their victims.
There was company Of soldiers at
Fort Valley. One of their longest
stops near here was at Stoneman lake.
Mrs. Marlar left Tuesday for her
home in Phoenix. Those who made
up the party were her daughter, Mrs.
Fanny England, and son, Wilson
England, and two sons, Will and Lenox
Marlar.

CLUB HAD A
GOOD PROGRAM FRIDAY

The Hiram club held an unusually
interesting meeting Friday noon, the
principal speaker being Pat Nelson, a
Phoenix attorney, who delivered his
address, "The Three Great Lights of
Masonry" The address brought on a
spirited discussion in which a number
of members expressed their views of
the conclusions reached by Mr.. Nelson
in his talk.
r. L. Bate Of the G. E. Greene Con-
tracing company, was chairman Of
the day, in which position he was
thoroughly at home.
The club was honored with the

TWO HELD In BIGGEST
BOOZE HAUL In YEARS

Local liquor industry received a SER
ious setback on Tuesday when three
federal officers arrested three alleged
booze manufacturers and housed them
with their fine new equipment in the
county Jail in Flagstaff.
The prisoners, each so or more
years of age, were operating a 100
gallon still six miles northwest of
Williams. They are j. W. Cole, Ed
Baker and Jack Jones, all of Phoenix.
The federal officers who bagged them
are Frank W. Akin, w B.Lewis and
John Shoemaker.
Tuesday morning the officers were
driving into canyon northwest of
Williams to look for another booze
outfit. They met Jones, driving a
1922 Overland touring car, Maricopa
county license. He seemed to have
quite load in the tonneau and they
asked him what it was. He said it
was fruit. They investigated and
while there was some fruit on top,
there also was Al gallons of booze.
The officers back-tracked the car
into the canyon and there found the
other two men very busy, though one
of them was very drunk, running the
big still. There was 500 gallons of
nice mash. Frsn the still the dis
tillate passed II gh 40-foot coil.
U. S. ComnIs oner Tom L. Rees
held Jones under $500 bond for trans
portation of booze and libeled the car.
Then Jones, Baker and Cole were
jointly charged with ownership of the
still and manufacture and possession
of liquor. Baker, however, asserted
he was sole owner of the still, the
other two having nothing to do with
it; also that Cole was innocent, being
tramp who had happened along and
whom they were letting stay with
them for short time. Baker was
held under $1,000 bond and Jones was
discharged on the second charge, Cole
being released. Jones and Baker will
be tried in federal court.
This was the largest haul made by
prohibition men in this section in a
long time.

'BORROWED' BUSTERS BUS;
NOW in THE COUNTY JAIL

Last Friday night, Buster Prochnow
missed his Chevrolet touring car.
Someone saw it heading west. Local
officers phoned to head off the car at
Williams and officers gave chase, Bus
ter accompanying them. Arriving in
the early hours at the White garage,
at Williams, the officers spied the cul-
prit. "Who's car you driving Proch-
now asked him. "Oh borrowed it
from a friend in Flagstaff" he re-
piled. "How interesting" murmured
the officers as they took him in their
car and headed back toward home.
On Saturday morning, Dan Nc
Cluskey, who works for the Saginaw
& Manistee Lumber company, pied
guilty before Justice of the Peace Tom
Pulliam. 81 did not mean to steal the
car" said McCluskey. 81 just borrowed
it to go after some liquor"
Justice Pulliam gave the young man
a lecture on booze and where. it leads.
He gave McCluskey the minimum SEN
tence, 80 days in Jail with $50 fine and
a suspended sentence Of 60 days.

new KIND OF SNAKE
FOUND TN OAK CREEK

Two weeks ago, Dean Eldridge of
Flagstaff and a party of friends were
at Oak Creek, when Dean spied a
strange snake. Grabbing sack, the
naturalist caught it and brought it to
town.
On Tuesday Prof. A. H. Wright of
the department of zoology of Cornell
university came to Flagstaff from
Phoenix to see the snake. He identi
fled it as an Arizona king snake, a
very rare reptile. Mr.. Wright is MAX
ing study of reptiles of western
North America for Cornell university.
The snake was about three feet in
length with alternate bands of white,
black and red. Professor Wright per-
mitted the snake to bite him to prove
that it was inon-poisonous. He said he
had been bitten by all kinds of snakes,
excepting rattlers. He has been bit
ten by 25 lizards during his investi-
cations in Arizona.
In his research work here this sum-
mer Mr.. Wright took over 1400 photos
of Arizona reptiles. He promised to
send Eldridge photos of the Arizona
king snake, which he purchased from
