QUAKE FORECASTS

NEW YORK, July 20.-The In
einuating aroma of breakfast cookery

mfr. Greenspan, the earthquake
man." said the woman with broom,
you'll find him clear In the back"
Mrs. Greenspan, piano-teacher wife
of 31-year-old Reuben Greenspan,
who has been calling the eartt's seis-
mic shots with astounding accuracy
for the last three months, was batting
out a fresh forecast on a portable
typewriter.
Then Greenspan appeared. Lean
and bony of face and forehead, there
was little specifically to distinguish
him from the army Of village dilet-
tanteS.
I'm going to get a laboratory" he
exulted. You can say some Eastern
school-theyll make the announce
ment next week"
With a laboratory he hopes to refine
his method, with the idea OF being
able regularly to tip prospective earth
quake VlCLllDS III dQNaIlCc.
No hocus-pocus is there in his
method, Greenspan said He studies
hundreds of earthquakes" before he
communicated his predictions to news
papers and a scientific organization.
They thought at first was q
crank" he said. Il don't want tt
embarasS the scientific society now by
giving its name"
Given a few pencils, an American
ephemeris and nautical almanac tell
ing the positions of Astronomical
bodies and a handful of earthquake
zone maps, Greenspan stands a good
chance of telling when and where
mother earth will next shrug hel
shoulders.
It's like this, he said:
EARTHQUAKES are ruptureS or weak
spots in the earth's crust, caused BY
the combined gravitational pull of two
astronomical bodies whose mass anC
gravitational force are strong enough
to shift outward the center of gravity
around which the earth and moon re-
volve and set up a series Of waves ir
O certain area.
IF this area is a known crusta
fault an earthquake will occur, tht
force depending on the distances o.
the bodies from the earth, their mas
and the weakness Of strata"
Greenspan looks to the day wher
forecasting tremors will be as common
as weather predictions.

TT WAS after O'Clock. The day
had been hot and sticky. The ell
derly lady, who had been the last
4 patient of the day visited by the
Instructive visiting nurse, had been
very i'll and unusually fretful.
However, the day was ended.
Il Visions of q cold shower and cool din
lner somewhere away from the heat
became uppermost in the mind of the
RnuFse. She started toward her little
coupe, intent on reporting back to the
ofice and getting home.
Just as she inserted the key in the
lock Of her little car child's cry was
heard. "Oh! Miss Nurse. Oh! Miss
Nurse"
Turning back, Miss Nurse" en-
eountered little girl of about 10, out
Of breath from running after the ia
miliar blue uniform.
Come quick, Miss Nurse" the child
said. Mother is awfully sick. She
just lies there and looks so funny
and STILL
WEAKNESS dropped away from the
shoulders of the instructive nurse, as
one drops a cape on entering the room.
Instantly she was her alert, efficient
self, intent on another errand OF
mercy.
With the child's frantic fingers
elutched in hers, the nurse hastened
back to the little home, where she
found the mother, prostrated by the
heat, lying in the middle of the floor.
There was no ice and first aid treat
naent had to be accomplished with
only some cool water. The nurse man
aged to get the woman to her bed
and applied cool towels until it seemed
safe to leave for few moments. Then
there was question of calling 8
physician and helping to make the
woman comfortable for the night.
BY this time it was $50 o'clock and
once again 1t was an overtime day
for the nurse, with no reward except
her knowledge Of a good deed well
done.
But there was another chapter to be
written into this story. Being a member
OF the Community Chest, the Instruc-
tive visiting Nurse Society works close
" with other chest organizations and
the plight of this woman was promptly
communicated to the Family Service
