Earthquake prediction is alb
s9lute rubbish; moonshine is the
most complimentary word one

can apply to it," was remark
made by DR.. P. Marshall, government
petrologist, when addressing members
of the Rotary Club on earthquakes. To
say when a severe earthquake was
likely to occur 1t was needful to know
the tension and how much stress the
earth's crust would stand. But neither
of these was known, hence predictions
could not be made. Dr. Marshall de-
scribed some features of the Hawkes.
Bay earthquake, adding that from the
evidence of the coastline it would ap-
pear that it was long time since a
similar earthquake had affected Napier;
and from geological evidence, although
definite prophecies could not be made,
it would probably be long time before
there was another big shake in that To-
cality.

1t is clearly. in Spain itself that the

Mrs. Ross forecast a great fight on
the part OF the Democrats to line up
the woman vote in the next presidential
campaign. She admitted that for one
reason or another the woman vote had
gone Republican to very large extent
in the 1928 election. She said this was
a lesson the Democrats should take TO
heart in preparing for next year, ard
she added:
Conditions have changed since
1928, and, if I mistake not. with them
has changed the mood of women-but
not their interests, let me emphasize.
The heart of woman does not change.
The home and the family, the value
and security of which MIR. Hoover eX-
tolled so feelingly and appealingly in
his campaign speeches in 1928, consti-
tute now as they did then the para
mount concern of women. White in
terested in idealism, women, withal,
are exceedingly practical. They are,
as rule, the custodians of the family
purse. DisilluSioned in the last two
and a half years, millions of them are
now experiencing pangs of poverty, and
the not less poignant distress of seeing
their husbands and brothers come
home nightly, broken of spirit, to re-
port fruitless search for work In I'M
tod thousands of instances they see
their children hungry and the develop
ment OF those children impaired for lack
OF nourishing food, and no means

Mrs. Ross insisted that the Demo
