FEAR DISPELLED.
Quake Fixed Somewhere OF Central
America Coast.

Computations at the seismological
laboratory Of the Coast and Geodetic
Survey fixed the Pacific earthquake
last night somewhere off the western
coast OF Central America. thus remov-
ing all fear of a destructive tidal
wave
II any tidal wave had been set up it
would doubtless have reached its des-
tination long before now-since the
speed with which one moves through
the Pacific is approximately 400 miles
an hour. Moreover. earthquakes in
that locality are almost invariably Of
the horizontal variety, whereas tidal
waves are set up, as general rule,
only by vertical quakes
The Pacific, the Coast and Geodetic
Survey maps show, is surrounded by
an earthquake belt like a gigantic
horseshoe, with only the Antarctic
side left open. A tidal wave travels
nearly twice as fast through this ocean
as through the Atlantic, speed being
in general a function Of depth. Near
ly all earth shocks occur close to land
One under the center of the ocean is
very rare and usually mild
The real danger of tidal wave to
shore communities, Coast and Geodetic
Survey scientists point out, Is not
from the tidal wave itself but from
the secondary phenomenon known as
the "seiche"
Sometimes a very strong earthquake
in the Pacific keeps the water in vi
bration for several days. Such an in
stance was in 1922. when an earth
quake of the southern coast Of Chile
caused tidal waves in Hawaii

Anti-Japanese night riders of the Salt

What's What
Behind News in Capital
Statistics Show Business improvement Slow, but
Certain, With Price Level Drawing Fixed
Confidence Wrong Idea Found on Costs.
BY PAUL MALLON.

~ USINESS was a little better in
- November. 1t will be little
better than that in December,
- and January should show a
mite Of improvement over
December
That estimate is not Just the usual
whoopla which seems to be getting
popular again, but a reasonable view
Of the situation, based on competent
figures and studied expectations.
Business Confidence Being Drawn.
What seemed to have happened is
that, in the early Fall, strikes and
price uncertainty caused stocks of
goods to be depleted Now the price
level is drawing business confidence.
Stocks are being adjusted to demand
and demand also is asserting itself in
replacements. The stock situation is
such that the trend will undoubtedly
continue through December and prob
ably January.
All this means that we haze
had mental recovery, and that
the mental recovery is Dery SlOUly
generating better business. 1t does
not mean you should put any faith
in the current cacklino OF enthu-
Siasts lUho think everything is 90
ing to be bigger and better at
once, or any time soon.
The tip of those best able to Judge
the prospects of Christmas retail trade
Is that 1t will be at least 10 per cent
above last year. A heavy movement
of Christmas goods has been notice
able. People seem to have more
money than last year. generally. and
are more inclined to spend it. If ad-
vance expectations are realized, it will
be the best Christmas since 1880.
Figures Are Cited.
You can look at the figures to see
the gradual progress made in the past
three months. Each figure represents
the percentage of normal at the times
stated. with normal G00) being the
average for the years 1923-24-25, for
everything except prices. The figures
are collected from various private and
governmental agencies and adjusted
for seasonal variations. so that an in
crease from month to month shows
an improvement beyond seasonal ex-
pectations.
