Earthquake In Spain.

MATARO, Spain, March 15.-The
population of Mataro was thrown into
panic today by two earthquake shocks.
The first shock, which was slight,
alarmed the populace, causing the
people to flee their houses. The Sec
ond shock, several hours later, was
much more severe and caused the
greatest alarm.
No casualties or serious damage
have been reported.

Seek "White Indians''

A Swedish motorboat expedition,

the Atlantic coast into South Amer
lean rivers and as far south as the
headwaters Of the Amazon, hopes to
trace routes by which ancient people
migrated through this region. The ex-
petition is headed by the archeologist,
Baron Erland Nordenskiold who has
made previous explorations in Argen-
tina, Peru, Brazil, Bolivia, Patagonia,
and other parts of South America
The expedition hopes to find further
examples Of the white Indians" SINH

Knowledge Tests in
Old Scientific Books

Questionnaires are by no means a
new thing. They used to have them
In the Middle ages, says the Boston
Transcript. A recent compilation by
Professor Langlois of maxims and
principles Of medical and other phys
tcal science as put forth by the trea-
tises Of Philippe de Thaon, Jofroi de
Watreforde, De Sidrac and other
learned men and physicians from the
Twlfth to the Fourteenth centuries,
supplies the following questions and
answers from the accepted scientific
books Of that period:
Why did God not will that man
should be hungry only once a week
Answer-Hunger is one of the pun
ishments brought on man by the sin
Of Adam.
What makes beast go mad?
Answer-Looking at a certain star
In the east on the twenty-flrst day of
the March moon.
Why did Noah bring scorpions, SER
penis and tarantulas into the ark?
Answer-First, in obedience to God,
who, having created these creatures
for his glory, did not wish them de-
stroyed; second, because these crea-
lures live on the worlds venom and
without them the world would become
uninhabitable for it you take the
most venomous serpent in the world,
isolate it from the earth and feed 1t
on bread, meat and nonpoisonous
things, it will become perfectly harm
less.
What language does the deaf-mute
understand in his heart?
Answer-Adams' therefore Hebrew ;
every child brought up without being
taught one Of our modern languages
would speak Hebrew spontaneously.
If my father and mother had never
existed, how should have been born
Answer-The number Of living be-
ings was foreseen from all eternity j;
consequently if your father and moth
er had not been born, you would have
been born from another man and
woman.
When God made Adam. how old
was he?
(No answer.)
Will idiots be damned?
(No answer.)
Evidently these last two questions
were too much for the wisdom of the
Middle ages. The first Is probably
still unanswerable. The other is easy.
They won't.

Was Taking No Chances

Marie Dressler was one of Mrs
Stuyvesant Fish's favorite guests.
Mrs. Fish was devoted to her. She
first came to the house as q paid en-
tertainer, but ever afterward, when
she came to divert Mrs. Fish's guests
in the evening, she also came to din
ner as one Of the most honored guests.
remember one night Mrs. Fish re-
warded Marie Dressler with a beau
tiful gold mesh bay with a $500 bill
in 1t. During the evening Marie
Dressler handed the gold mesh bag
to Frank Crowninshield.
"Here, Frank" she said, "hold this
for me minute, will you? And hang
onto 1t. When you're with the Four
Hundred you got to be careful"
Nobody liked crack like that bet
ter than Mrs. Fish.-Elizabeth Bar
bour in the Saturday Evening Post.

SMALL THINGS

Evangelist John Moses Baker
Who has despised the day of small
.hings. Zachariah 4-10.
The great things in life are i'm
portant;
They mean very much to us all,
But the things we can do mean
so very much too,
Although they seem trifiing and
small.
Just kind word, so easy to say,
To some one who needs such a lift.
1t will mean much to you what
you say and you do,
With your talents and also your
gifts.
We live in world that is busy,
And We all carry knapsacks of care.
You can tighten the load of some
one on the road,
+ you only Beware, Beware.
We travel together just such
short way,
And then comes the end of lifes span
1t will make the world brighter
and burdens the lighter
BY just doing the best that we can.

"How is it going, fellers?" softly
asked Jig Fiddlin Of Clapboard
Springs. who had Skinned up. the
lightning rod and was now peeping in

THE FARMER MUST NOW LEARN
: TO DO HIS HORSESHOEING

Instead of learning his fathers
trade the son of the village black
smith has learned to turn the handle
of the gasoline pump and to manipu-
late grease gun. Many OF the
spreading chestnut trees that have
not been killed by chestnut blight
may have succumbed to oil seepage
and no longer provide shade for the
new-art filling stations. AS a result
the shoeing of farm horses is a SER
ous problem in many communities.
Farmers have been forced to do their
own shoeing or take chance on an
unshod horse going lame just at the
moment he is most needed.
To guide the farmer the United
States Department of Agriculture has
issued Farmers Bulletin No. 1885
ON Farm Horseshoeing. Farrier
supply houses and hardware mer-
chants are ready to meet the demand
for ready-to-wear shoes of various
sizes. The advice in the bulletin is
competent and the pamphlet is well
illustrated but the foreward warns
chat trimming and leveling hoofs,
fitting shoes and mailing them on are
much more readily understood if
presented in an actual demonstra-
ton by competent horseshoer'
and suggests that farmers who have
seen the old village smithy supplant-
ed by the new filling stations and
garage get together and apply to
their agricultural college for a com
munity demonstration by State
specialist who knows his business.

Sorrow for Stubborn Man

Recently young married couple
went mountain climbing in Switzer-
land during their honeymoon. On a
peak they were overtaken by a storm
and thunder and lightning blazed and
crashed all around them. The bride
begged to return to the valley. The
guide urged it. But the bridegroom
insisted on scaling the top Of the peak.
He climbed a few feet more, then
there was another crash. He saw q
blaze Of fire and blue smoke, heard
the guide scream, and returned to find
his bride dead, electrocuted Ty her ak
blade. The lightning was attracted by
her mountain ak, which is needed to
chop foot holes in the ice. She won't
have to travel any farther with man
determined to have his way and not
her way.-Capper's Weekly.

Gov. Harry Flood Byrd, of Virgin
ia, charges that the zone embrac-
ing Maryland, Virginia, West Virgin
ia and the District of Columbia has
been selected by oil importers for
higher gasoline prices than other
zones. He cited the net price OF IL
cents and said that the retail price
was substantially lower in many
other States"
The Governor asserted that the
Standard Oil Co. has a "monopolis-
tic control over the wholesale and re-
tail prices of gasoline" through a
price-ixing clause incorporated in
contracts of alleged competing COM
panies." Quoting the supposed
clause, the executive said it was, in
his opinion, contrary to the Federal
laws.

matter to the attention OF President
Coolidge and the latter has advised
the Virginia executive that the letter
has been referred to the Federal

The Department Of Agriculture
issues rather elaborate and complete
statements and tabulations OF farm
price data. These are of more than
usual interest at this time, perhaps,
because the information is of funda-
mentel Importance in the establish
ing an intelligent and constructive
program for agriculture. The aver
ages published are far more than
simple averages. They are compiled
by skilled statisticians who have
devised systems of ''weightings" for
the various reports received from
volunteer reporters. These prices
as reported have been compared with
census reports when available and
with price data compiled by other
methods, and the statisticians are
able to say with confidence that
their results for given State OF
for the Nation as whole will not
be in error by more than a small
margin, and that in series OF
years these price tables can be com
pared to obtain are liable picture OF

For some years now the farmer
has been the subject of solicltude
and sympathy of the politician.
Since there are many millions OF our
voting citizens engaged in tilling the
soil and others as owners OF farm
land it is but natural that members
of Congress and even Presidents
should have tried to impress these
voters with their heart felt sympathy
in their time of distress. Yet no Re-
publican President or member OF
Congress has gone so far as to sug-
gest that something real be done to
help the farmer. The real thing
would be reduction and adjustment
of the present tariff beneficaries who
because of the present high duties
are gouging all classes OF consumers
including the farmers. The role OF
Jobs Comforters is so common that
there is now an American Society OF
Agricultural Engineers that has been
sitting on the farmers case and re-
porting to President Coolidge. This
seems to us the limit. What have a
lot of engineers to do with such a
problem and of all persons in the
country to report to President Cool
idge is surely the last. OF course
such fellows would be expected to
recommend more agricultural ma
chinery to take the place of inettici-
ent man help. 1t seems to us that
these engineers might also tell the
farmers some way to get the recon-
mended agricultural machinery at
it's high cost. Any report is surely
incompletes without recommends
ton that something should be done
to reduce the high cost OF
such machinery to basis that
the farmers deprecated dollar can
reach. If such a body of engineers
should call the Presidents attention
to the need of reducing tariff duties
on farm machinery so that the farm
er could buy such machinery and by
it's use reduce the cost of production
we can fancy the reception of such a
recommendation by our hide-bound,
New England President.-Dover
