Of the most fertile fields for research
in seismology, is outstanding in one
characteristic.

oped means of earthquake-proof con-

preservation Of life and property, with
none OF the vast scenes of havoc that
have accompanied the commissions of

In Southern italy, Japan, China. ia

earthquakes have caused life losses
running into the thousands.
Earthquake investigating laboratories
OF California have demonstrated the
theoretical principles of safe building
construction and have seen these put
to test in earth movements.
Many shocks have passed almost un-
noticed here, while shocks of similar in
tenslty in other regions of the earth
have resulted in disaster.
Scientists comment this shows that
terror can be taken out of earthquakes,
that danger is due not to the earth
movement. but to the individual cases
OF careless construction and the fall
ure to take the simple precautions for
safety.
Among precautions taken in Southern
California are earthquake drills in

Varied Program
At Friday Morning Club.
ROBERT FREDERICK FREUND.
- baritone. sang yesterday at the
Friday Morning Music Club and
added another group Of songs to his
printed numbers to I'LL the vacancy
caused by the absence of Gretchen
Hood, who was unable to appear as
announced. The program was
shared by Tamara Dmitrie6, pianist,
and Mary Park Clements and Julia
Robertson, violinists, who played .
Concerto" by Vivaldi, for two vio-
lins.
Mr.. Freund has . warm. well
trained voice, which shows to the
best advantage in pianissimo pas
sages. Passing into phrases OF more
power the ease and mellowneSS Of his
tones are somewhat sacrificed and
his climaxes do not carry out COM
pletely the promise Of his softer
work. He sings with taste and feel
ing, however, understanding well the
value Of each word and conveying It
1ntelligibly to the audience, especially
in the English numbers, where his
diction was clearer than in the Ger
man, French or Italian. Particularly
effective was his singing Of "The
Hills Of Home" by Fox, and ''Noc-
turne," by Curran. His singing was
received with great applause and he
returned for several encores.
Beethoven'S Sonata In D Minor"
Chopin's "Etude No. 2" and Debussy's
Ca de Lune" were the three num-
e. presented by Nine. Dmitrief.
RepoSe and artistic feeling mark
Mime. Dmitrieff's playing, which Is
further distinguished by her refined
tone and facie technique. Nine.
Dmitried is not a bravura player,
but her light touch Is unforced and
excellently suited to the interpreta-
ton of Chopin or Debussy. Her sue
cess was instantaneous and she was
recalled several times until she
played another Chopin number as
encore.
Delightfully."- clear and expressive
was the playing of Mary Park
Clements and Julia Robertson in the
Concerto for Two Violins." Their
excellent, well blended tone and re-
gard for nuance made this number
by Vivaldi vital and interesting.
Much beauty was portrayed in the
larghetto, where their singing tone
was well sustained and rich in senti-
ment and the Intervening Of mel

AWAIT EXPLAINS
HARTMAN DELAY
Says Bank Examiner Held Up
Report Because of Fear
of a Run.

r. G. Await, acting controller Of the
currency, today explained that the de-
lay in forwarding to the Department of
Justice bank examiners report on al
legged irregularities at the Hartman Ma
tional Bank in New York was due to the
critical banking situation then existing.
Tried to Aid Bank.
Questioned regarding a story In yes
terday's Star disclosing that the Treas
iiry delayed from July until December in
Justice Department, Await said the
bank examiner endeavored for five
months to strengthen the banks condi-
tion before prosecution was instituted
against Joseph w. Hartman, head Of
the bank
Senators previously had threatened
an investigation of the delay, laying re-
sponsibility on the Department Of JUS
tice.
In the affair, said the examiner reported
first to the department on July Is, 1882,
that the banks affairs were in bad con-
dition, but he asked time to make it
more liquid before any prosecution was
begun. Await said John w. Pole, the
controller at that time, had not seen
the letter from the examiner, as it was
merely one of thousands coming to the
office.

affairs in shape hoping to get CO.
operation from Hartman" until De-
cember %. On that date he presented
his formal report and Await ordered 1t
Bent Immediately to the Department Of
Sustice.
On December 80, Await said, Henry
E. Cooper. new president of the bank,
and its vice president talked to Await
and asked more time to get the bank
liquid.
That's up to the Department Of
Justice Await said he told them.
They replied they had sought his
Recommendation to the Justice Depart
ment and upon that basis Await said
he talked to Nugent Dodds, the As
sistant Attorney General in charge of
the criminal division, and told him he
"didn't want him (Dodds) to do any,
thing inconsistent with the aims of
Justice.
Await added that he suggested the
depositors would profit by holding off
prosecution temporarily.
Bank Run Feared.
Throughout this period, the acting
controller pointed out, the officials were
acting on the premise that grand jury
proceedings and accompanying publicity
would start a run on the Hartman
bank.
Await said that with his recommended
tion the Department of Justice did halt
proceedings temporarily since the
statute of limitations was not involved
in the case and action could be started
at any time.
The Justice Department said today
that William D. Mitchell, Attorney Gen.
eral in the Hoover administration,
knew nothing of the Hartman case, but
that it was all handled by subordinates

then took his body back near the

He stupidity forgot the I'M

lack Of weight shows them to be physi-
cally below par. They are not normally
developed for their type. Their thin
ness is due to incorrect habits Of living
or, in the case Of adolescents, 1t may
be due to an unusually rapid growth in
height or to some form Of Ill health,
mental or physical. Nervousness, worry,
unfulfilled wishes and all the negative,
depressing moods, when they are al

The first thing to do, then, toward
acquiring that bathing-suit figure be-
fore Summertime is to find out the
causes Of your underweight-with the
aid Of physician II necessary-and
then set about correcting them syste-
matically.
Diet is naturally Of great Importance,
but what Is equally SO Is the mood in
which you eat. II you are tired or
to relax and rest before taking mouth
full. Eat in leisurely way and think
Of something pleasant. If pressed for
time. don't hurry through q full-course
dinner, but eat less. 50 that you may
eat slowly. II your noon meal Is taken
away from home, don't make lunch
CT sandwich and ice cream, but begin
with hot soup and finish with baked
apple or pudding; drink hot cocoa or
milk. A quart Of milk added to the
daily diet will help build you up. More
detailed suggestions on diet are given
in my leaflet on How to Gain Weight" +"
which IS free to any reader who sends
request for it accompanied by o
stamped, self-addressed envelope.
Underweights need a moderate amount
of easy, regular exercise. Deep breath
ing Is essential, especially for fat
chested types. Simple stretching and
bending exercises are suitable. A one
or two mile walk every day is usually
helpful For developing thin thighs and
calves there are deep-knee- bending
exercises, heel raising, leg swinging
across body and kicking. Do not exer-
else to the point Of fatigue, but do just
enough to send a pleasant glow Of
health and energy through your body.
Ten minutes of easy exercise twice a
day Is usually enough in addition to the
walk outdoors. Regular exercise stimu-
lates the appetite and makes sleep more
restful. Sufficient sleep is an important
part Of your weight building program.
