 All the faults in this neighbor-
 hood run in a northeast-southwest
 direction, with the corresponding
 higher on the southeastern side
 than on the northwestern. This
 makes little if any difference in the
 apparent topography of the land.
 however, as both sides have usually
 been worn away equally.
 The largest enters the city just
 east of the Elmwood highway and proceeds in an almost exactly :outh-
 westerly direction. passing out again along the northwest shore of Shuttle Meadow reservoir. The others all lie to the southeast of this major fault. One passes just west of the center and another through the Elm street frieght yards The second major fault in this section does not touch New Britain but goes in more north and-south direction through New ington and Berlin. One of the most complicated fault systems in Con- necticut lies in East Berlin, where these earth-breaks cross each other, diverge, and join in very intri- cate manner. Geologists have stu- died this system with much atten- tion.
 Not only are these faults probably too, small to cause any earth slip pings but they are also probably a safeguard against serious :. earth quake. A new theory of earthquakes has been advanced in recent years. It holds that in places of crustal readjustment there Is always a strain on the rock. When the strain becomes too great. the effect is the same as that when a rubber band is stretched too tightly. A fracture occurs and the bedrock snaps away from the break. which is the center of the earthquake that results from the crucial movement. The presence of existent faults like those in New Britain would allow delicate adjust ments of the earth from time 10 time to meet the strain, thus easing it and preventing the tension from piling up it's force and suddenly rip ping apart the rock to create a quake. > .--
 These minor adjustments are probably the causes of the, slight jars which are felt in New England from time to time. Far from causing alarm they should create confidence. for they are easing the crustal. ten- ' sion bit by bit and preventing the accumulation of great tectonic strain which would be disastrous when 1t relieved itself.
 Of course, the center of disturb ance need not be in New Britain for the city to suffer from quake, but the greater part of Eastern United States and Canada is of. fun- the same character; The danger from earthquakes here, then, Is practically non- existent.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 1.-Two Negro

WHY HAVE DIPHTHERIA?
BY Herman N. Bundesen, M. D.
Commissioner
WHY HAVE DIPHTHERIA?

"Why have diphtheria?
do you know that diphtheria kills
more young children than any other
disease?
DO you know that diphtheria can
be prevented?
do you know that science has
shown how diphtheria can be wiped
off the face Of the earth?
do you know that there are cities
in the United States in which there
are no deaths from diphtheria?
why have diphtheria?" asks DR..
Bundesen, in his latest bulletin. Every
case of diphtheria means that some
body has neglected to protect the
child Every death from diphtheria
means that somebody has been Grim
inally negligent"
"While Chicago's record in low
diphtheria rate is a source Of satisfac-
ton, nevertheless better record
would be no diphtheria at all. Some
thing is wrong in a community which
will not protect its children against
one of the deadliest enemies of child
hood" states the commissioner.
"Diphtheria is caused by a germ
which gets started usually by growing
in the nose or throat.
'Diphtheria germs produce a poison
called toxin which is carried by the
blood to all parts Of the body, dam
aging the organs and tissues, and thus
causing paralysis and death.
"'Antitoxin' is an antidote for the
poison (toxinO Of the germ which
causes diphtheria 'Antitoxin' will
cure the sick child if it is given
promptly" says DR.. Bundesen.
From the second to the tenth year
Of life, diphtheria is the greatest enemy
Of childhood. Nearly every child can
be made absolutely safe against diph-
liberia by receiving three tiny injec-
tons Of 'toxin-antitoxin' under the
skin. This is a safe and harmless
treatment. 1t is your duty as a parent
to have this done for your children.
Safeguard your children and get rid
of one more cause for worry"
Nov is the time to have the young
sters protected against diphtheria II
you cannot afford to have your own
doctor give xin-antitoxin,' it will be
given your child, without charge, at
the nearest welfare station" offers Dr.
Bundesen.

In his dazzling repertory
Proudly do the X. z. come.

And the theme it indicates

And the whole United States.

Crowding street and avenues,
Sprinkled by the praise and shout
AS they pass on for review.

Nor an issue why, nor when.
They are knights in peace and war
And are every one brave men.
They are, as it is we'll known,
Sworn protectors of the state.
They will lay a cornerstone
Consecrate and dedicate.
And that temple with its guiding
OF rare majestic plan
Represents a human building
That was never made BY man.
Give them then a loud ovation
And an invocation fully.

Cry out bully, bully, bully"
How their smooth and even ranks
Enhlade with well-timed files.

With its pelts of juveniles.

And a shower Of applause
Fall upon its women fair.
Let the fellowship Of love
And a we'll wish uppermost
Be indicted from above
On this mighty host Of host.
They look spotless, spick and span
As their legions amble by.
Every matron, child and man
Captivate the mind and eye.
Let the grandstand create noise
And the bleachers sound reply
AS the gallant K. P. boys
Gaily 60 a-marching by.
Now they pass between the throng
In their knighthood and their sple

Spread their revelry around
