fear and resulting in the dissemination
Of information that provides for pre-
paredneSS with an understanding that
should lessen the toll of death and de-
struction from the growing pain
twttches Of mother earth.
Government Investigators fnd there
probably Is no area in the United
States where an earthquake has not
been felt.
Seismologists say California IS the
Hvest earthquake region in the country.
Since tie 1905 disaster at San Fran
cisco, an intensive study of these con-
vulsions has been conducted with the
intent of lessening damage and loss of
Hfe from others which are certain to
come.
Science reveals another great earth
quake can be anticipated for Southern
California, but seismologists are unable
to say when, or whether 1t will center
In . populous region or q desert area.
The fore shocks have extended over
18 years, the secondary QuakeS includ-
ing the disastrous 1925 earthquake In
Santa Barbara and the recent Long
Beach shock. In the last great earth
quake. that Of 1906. such fore-sEocks
were felt for at least IA years.
As seismologists analyze them, the
Santa Barbara quake, which killed II
persons and caused $4,000 900 damage,
and the earthquake Of last March 10,
centering south Of Long Beach with a
toll Of 121 lives and property damage
Of nearly $75,000,000. were not great
ones.
They were Of the order Of about half
. dozen shocks since 1915, each Of which.
seismologists say, emphasized an &C.
cumulation Of stress that can be re-
heved only by great earthquake. Dur
ing the period since 1915 there were q
dozen or more shocks of slightly less
intensity than the six strong ones.

 Untermyer urged the adoption of the taxes to provide the deplete9 municipal treasury with needed revenue, estimated at approximate, ly S1O,0O0,000 between now and the expiration date of February 2S, 1884. At yesterdays public hear ing on the measures Untermyer said that transfer of the Exchange would cause great real estate losses through depreciation or values 'n an abandoned financial center;
 The city's chances Of optainlns a S72,000,000 loan from New fork bankers would be severely leopard ized by the transfer, untermyet said. In hi accommodations to the mayor he advised immediate signature of the tax measures ' the Exchange does not avail itseli of the city's proposal.
 Some Exchange members saio they believed the offer came toe late to forestall the transfer. They pointed out that most of the 1,S1t members of the New York mart al. ready had applied for membershtT in the new Exchange, and that or ficers of the local group had ac' cepted corresponding positions witt the New Jersey Exchange.

Marketing Of Milk
 Demands C Cooperation
Proposal to Establish Production and Sales Pools
 Explained By Control Board

The milk control board today is- sued the following statement and comment on the proposal to estab. llsh e state production pool and a state sales pool:
 The board Is charged under sec ton ( of the law which created It, with promoting, encouraging and fostering cooperation among pro- dueers, among dealers and between producers and dealers, and by pro- noting more equitable distribu.. ton of the burden of the surplus What Ia that burdenY In fact, what Is the surplus? Milk that is sold as milk to the consumer (known as fluid mllk) takes first place In the market, All milk reqiures earefuI production and handling to be hl for human consumption. But afte! part of 1t has been sold as huid milk, the rest must be manufac. tured with equal care at some cost into other products. It has come to be the custom among producers and dealers to speak Of that part or the milk supply which must pc manufactured Into some other product as surplus. The ordinary household requires Q quite uniform supply of fluid milk, but. With the ehange of seasons and feed, the cows that produce thte supply vary their production. Moreover, Q COW gives more milk when she Is fresll, that at the end of the milking per. iod and every COW goes dry part of tho time. A careless or shiftless producer may produce Ave times as much milk in June as he does in August, and six or seven time as much us he does In November. But n dealer must always have at least IS much fluid milk as his consum- CTS need. The rest Is surplus to be manufactured Into some dimerent product.
 Many producers are not careless. They try to oven out their produc-- ton, and arc entitled to the highest price for doing so. In all justice, tho shiftless producer should get the lowest price. But Tn the open market, when the shiftless producer dumps surplus milk on the market at any price he can get for It, he tends to break the market and hurt everybody. When producers com mence to Aelt ioWeT anu AoWet ~ order to get their milk bought at some price In n Hooded market, they hurt not only themselves but they hurt every other producer, This, from the produeer's stand. point, is the very real burden of the surplus" The dealer who has to manufacture 2 large surplus into other products two or three months of each year must invest Tn buildings and machinery, which will stand idle during the short sea son. It Is common for Q milk deal' CT to have all of his manufacturing facilities In full operation in May and June. During part of July he may or may not be in the same DO. sition. Tn August he may be using only 1-5 of his capacity. In Septem. Der he will use trifie more. Oc. tober surplus is about like that ot September. Then in November and December 5-6 of his capacity must often be idle. That from the deal. CTS standpoint is the very real

 Senate inquiry in 1924, develop ed, among other things, that some steamship companies had interests in Stevedore, wharfage and term inal facilities and were negotiating contracts which were highly pro- ftabie and indirectly largely at government expense.
 In 1928, the senate passed law for government operation of the merchant marine. The house re- wrote the bill and the Jones-White act. During an interim the goyern- ment adopted policy of lump sum contracts for ocean mail car- riage but only two such still are h effect, one with the Roosevelt Steamship line and the other with the Yankee line.
 The Jones' -White act provided, first, that the post office could con- tract for carriage of ocean mall on a basis of speed of the carrier, and second, that the shipping board could make loans to companies Tor construction Of new vessels.

member an equal and proportions ate share of the fluid milk market and an equal and proportionate share of the surplus market. For a dozen years, these intelligent and foresighted producers had found a market for all of the milk in Con necticut which was seeking mar ket. This prevented dumping and price cutting by producers and lasted until the burden of the sur plus became greater than the tn. telligent cooperators' could bear. IT ali producers had been in the pool, the ruinous price cutting of last February and March could not have happened. A group of market wise dealers took the milk of thls pool, paid for it according to its actual use, whether as fluid miiis or as milk products, and opened their books to auditors representing the producers, so that there should be no question of the good faith of their accounts. But about haif of the producers in the state kept out of the pool. Likewise about halt of the dealers in the state refused to join in the pooling. Both ad- verse groups saw a chance to take a momentary advantage of the wis dom and seif-sacrifice of the pool ing groups. They had not foresight enough to realize that their per- sonai advantage of the moment would prove a curse to them in the end. They did not realize then, perhaps some of them do not now, that they and they only are re- sponsible for the fact that produc- CTS were. getting less than Pc quart for milk last February and March.
 But under that desperate bidding for market some of the producers were able to get a much better price for their milk than their neighbors. That, of course bred discontent. So the milk control board was set up by the lesislature ito foster cooperation among pro- ducers and to promote a more equitable distribution of the burden of the surplug'.

 If one hundred and thirty mill Hon people carry out such q pro- gram, 1t can easily be seen. how tho idea will work successfully.
 Manufacturers have done their part. They have dug down deep to increase their working forces and have increased the weekly wage earners. A vast majority of those who hire employees have adopted the blue eagle. They have pledged themselves 100 per cent to carry out the terms of the MIRA.
 But they cannot, keep the in creased payrolls going along for any length of time unless they are supplied with orders and business to keep the wheels in their factories moving.
 It is up to you to make the MIRA successful, Once given impetus along with their momentum for a long time. You can help in that spurt by making needy purchases now. It is not the intent of the NRA that wage earners should spend every earned nickel as fast as 1t Is made. Neither is 1t the intent that the earnings should be immediately slapped into bank or some other safe keeping place. A generous adoption of each plan is more the idea behind the MIRA. once the wheels of progress have started in this country wo cannot permit them to stop. They are started now. Let us all help to keep them moving. Get out now and buy something you need. Don't stall any longer in the purchase pf that needed article whether It's a new suit, pair Of shoes. house fnrn- Ishings or~sAitomobiie.
