During the passage of the waves
of violent earthquake, the ground
is so shaken that unstable objects
are overthrown. Trees are over
turned and avalanches and land
slides often overwhelm villages. The
destruction on unconsolidated ma
terial is greatest, and depressions
and elevations are introduced in the
loose soil. Fissures open and close.
Water is squeezed out of the
ground. Springs frequently cease
to flow and stream flow is interfer-
ed with.
In the great earthquakes in the
Mississippi valley near New Mad
rid, Missouri, in 1811-12, the flood
plain deposits were thrown into
great waves, the trees swaying back
and forth so that their tops touched.
During those earthquakes large
body of water known as Reelfoot
Lake was created by the dropping
in of a huge block of the earth's
crust; today a submerged forest
stands beneath the waters of this
lake.
Earthquake cracks (rifts) are
often followed across country by the
furrowing of the surface, the dislo-
cation of roads, breaking of water
pipes, separating of fences and even
the splitting of trees beneath which
it passed.
Earthquakes often occur beneath
the sea and tidal wave results. A
broad, low swell is formed, affect
ing the ocean from top to bottom.
AS it nears the coast it rises as it
passes into the shoaling water and
rushes upon the land as great and
destructive surge.
There are two belts of earth
quakes and most of the shocks take
place in these zones, which follow
the mountain ranges of the globe.
One extends around the Pacific and
the other eastward through Europe
and Asia, including the belt from
the Pyrenees to the Himalayas and
beyond to the Pacific.
These are the belts in which
mountains are now in most active
process of growth, and in which,
therefore, crustal movement is CIV
ing rise to reformation by which
tectonic shocks are produced. 1t is
in these belts that most of the ac-
! tive volcanoes of the world lie.
Mountain building is, therefore, ac-
companied by earthquakes and vol
canic activity.
| 1t is now possible by means of the
seismograph to locate earthquakes
quite accurately within a short time
after they have occurred.

unfavorably with his mother or
other women; disikes children and
scolds them too harshly: behttles
wife's opinion. her judgment or
ability; boasts about his former girl
friends and his conquests; is mig
gardly about money; refuses to give
his wife an allowance and fuses
about the bills.
The husbands virtues are: He

turns pay check over to her; re-
members birthdays and anniver-

.WearingDeep
Mourning Is
A Problem
Grief for Divorced
Husband Leads to
Much Criticism
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: I was d.
vorced from my husband about q
year before he died. never wanted
a divorce and always loved him,
but some members Of my family
talked me into the divorce on the
grounds Of keeping the family's
self-respect. His relatives and I
have remained good friends. went
to tho funeral and though tried
as much as possible to stay In the
background, I wore deep mourning.
Since then I've stayed home most
OF the time and when I have gone
out 1t has been only to church or
to a corner movie alone, or to the
houses Of neighbors, and at these
times have worn the kind Of black
dresses every woman owns. I have
not worn a mourning veil and
have not even worn black stockings.
My sister has just been to see me
and has given me to understand
that my family thinks I am be.
having in shocking taste. She claims
that people are talking about my
public display of respect to tho
memory of a man from whom I
was divorced. Do you think I am
showing bad taste by quietly 60
ing about my way matching my
clothes to the way feel inside?
Answer must say that its very
unusual but to what degree it may
be considered in bad taste depends
upon various circumstances. In any
case. think 1t would be very much
better for you If you would try to
lead happier life. In other words,
your going around in black cer-
tainly amounts to an attitude Of
mourning even though your clothes
may not bear this out to the ex-
treme of black stockings and black
bordered handkerchiefs. 1t is all
unhappily suggestive of a brooding
frame of mind which is very bad
for any one to get into.

Dorothy Dix Says
Learn the Necessary Qualities
To Be Good Husband or Wife

Half the married couples in the
world are bad husbands and wives
because they do not know what
qualities a good husband and wife
should possess. They sin against
each other through ignorance, not
intent. Realizing this, a man and
woman who have been married 26
years have worked out this code
of the flaws and virtues for the
guidance of married people
According to them, the wifes
flaws are: She won't have a family,
doesn't want children; is often late
for appointments; flirts with other
men at parties or restaurants: Is
jealous and suspicious; uses slang
and profanity; tells off-colored
stories; smokes, drinks, CANDLES;
exceeds allowance of family budget;
corrects husbands speech or actions
before others; saves punishment of
children for father at night; fails
to brush teeth or bathe often
enough; slouchy in dress; snobbish;
too much concerned in keeping up
with the Joneses; tells lies; is not
dependable; poor housekeeper.
The wife's virtues: Never goes
to bed angry, always makes up first;
religious, sends children to church
and Sunday school and goes herself;
economical; thrifty; good cook,
serves husband meals: loves chill
dren and desires family; faithful
and true to husband; sympathetic;
is of same religion as her husband;
often tells husband she loves him;
Is easy to live with.
The husbands flaws are: He

Body Massage
Keeps Tots
Healthy
Vitality Lowered
During the Late
Winter Months
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Unless they are fortunate enough
to be living in a climate Of warmth
and sunshine, wee tots will feel the
drag of long winter months, just as
do adults. And mothers must give
them special consideration and keep
a sharp eye on their health.
Whenever you can do so, have
children play in the sun even though
it is only on patch of sun-lighted
floor. If they play out of doors in
cold weather rub their little bodies
well with olive oil before you dress
them warmly. And do not send
them out to play directly after their
morning bath when the weather Is
nippy. With pores opened they can
easily catch cold, which might hang
on until the warm weather appears,
dragging down their vitality to an
alarming degree.
If your child seems to be listless
and irritable, sleeping fitfully at
night, you should take him to re-
liable physician for a physical ex-
animation. Perhaps all he needs is
a good tonic to carry him through
the difhcult weeks until summer,
and your physician is the one to
suggest the tonic. But If you have
not the wherewithal for such advice,
one Of the most reliable tonics Is
good old-fashioned cod-liver OIL
Your druggist will tell you how
much should be given your child
each day, according to his age.
Once a week at least, take the
time to give your infant thorough
body and scalp massage. Follow
this procedure:
After a good cleansing bath in
early evening, let your child lie on
a bed on which you have spread q
large bath towel. See that the room
Is well heated-a little warmer than
usual temperatures he will not
get chill. With either olive oil or
mineral oil which has been slightly
heated, rub his entire body slowly
and gently-with the same massage
movements you would get at salon.
Then wrap him up in the towel and
set him on your lap.
With him leaning against your
chest, massage his tiny scalp with
your finger tips in rotary movements.
Be sure your finger nails are not
long! If you wear them long, by all
means wear pair of clean white
cotton gloves when you work on his
head.
After about five minutes of this
soothing treatment, brush his hair
upward away from the scalp with
good brush whose bristles are not
too soft or too stiff. But brush up,
way from the head and not as the
hair grows, downward.
After you have tucked him into
bed with fresh linen and clean
blankets, air the room we'll and shut
out all light. Your child will get
hours of good rest and the olive oil
left on his body is good for him.
The next morning do not bathe
him with soap and water. Just rub
his little body with a fresh bath
towel to wipe of any excess oil and
the normal secretions Of the night.

But, in artistic terms, warm and
cool colors are something else again.
OF the tones We call real colors,
red, orange and yellow are warm;
green, blue and violet are cool.
They make some slight difference
In the actual physical temperature
of the wearer.
But their chief effect Is psyche
logical.
The reds, oranges and yellows sug-
gest fire and the sun.
Green Very
Cool Shade.
While green suggests cool shade.
Blue recalls cool water. And violet
reminds us of cool shadows.
Artists go even further into this
and use warm" and "cool' as COM
parative terms.
Thus a warm green will be q yell
low green. A cool violet will be
q blue violet shade.
In choosing colors for various sea-
sons of the year, let the seasons
inspire your color schemes and you
Will feel particularly in harmony
with the general scheme OF things.
For instance, in April you may
have q fancy for yellow.
You indulge IN yellow tweeds and
add a pale green scarf.
Instinctively you have chosen a
costume that reflects the clear April
sunlight unfiltered by leaves.
And you have relieved it with the
green Of young shoots and tendrils.
Or In May, you might like to copy
a woman of subtle taste, who wore
last blossom time, q green corduroy
suit and a flower cap covered with
petals in apple blossom pink.
In midsummer, you may like a
cool, forget-me- mot blue chiffon with
bunch of violets at the waist.
In the autumn you will want vivid
tweeds IN warm colors-maple leaf
reds or yellows combined with bark

that silhouets you like a tall tree
against the SHOWS.
Always late in winter there comes
a feeling for white hats in soft fab
RIGS like duvetyn, that give you a
snow-capped look.
Your winter sports clothes will be
chosen for more lively contrasts
with the snow.
One couturier has been outstand-
ingly successful with aurora horealis
colors for ski clothes-blue violet

closing and trimming make it youth

But the incest thing about this
design is it's adaptability. You can
wear it as is, or make it more dressy
by getting some dainty guimpes and
vestees of organdie or pique to wear
with it. Or give 1t a more casual air
by wearing a tucked-in scarf, and
ribbon around your hat to match
the scarf. Choose thin wool, fiat
crepe, sharkskin or print for this
princess; 1t will be a perfect cotton
fashion this summer.

Never Repeat
The School

More Punishment
At Home Unfair
To the Child

Il talked. She said I disturbed
the class, and didn't. I only Just

20. you only asked Bill for his
knife. You didn't do your work
and you bothered the others and
the teacher and had to be punished.
Every time you have to be punished
IN school you're going to be pun
lshed at home, too."
20, ma"
"You needn't o me. I mean 1t.
I'm going to strap you we'll"
II you had done a Job thoroughly
what would you think Of the person
who came along and said he would
do 1t too7 What sense is there
IN double punishment for school
troubles? Any child who is treated
as this one was treated will not
improve in school. He will grow
worse. And he will stop going home.
And he will lie himself out of
trouble If he can. And home treat
ment is to blame for it.
The idea that severe punishment
cures trouble, corrects faults, helps
to interest q child in school work,
helps anything anywhere Is per-
fectly wrong. It makes more errors
grow; 1t kills ambition and Wiling
ness; 1t kills affection and it dead
ems the spirit Of the child. People
who think that they are helping
the teacher by repeating punish
ment are woefully mistaken. They
are helping nobody and doing grave
injury to the children in question.
The best Of children break the
rules at times and have to be disci-
plined. But that happens seldom.
The children who give the teacher
SO much trouble that she has to
discipline them daily are the unfit
and failing ones who are In need
of help, not punishment. Many Of
them are In need of three good
meals a day, a comfortable bed and
a happy home. Given these necessi-
ties they become happy and sue
cessful overnight, almost.
The children who are not men,
tally fit, either by original deficiency
or acquired lacks, certainly need
no punishment. They need to be
examined in order to find what
their trouble is. Then they need
what 1t takes to overcome it. If
the school can supply it the problem
Is solved. II not, then help must
be given the school. And If the
extra help and the school cannot
overcome 1t. the forces Of the COM
munity at large must come to the
rescue. But in no case Is there need
for punishment.
Mothers who want to help the
teachers with their failing children
would do better to leave the chill
dren to the teachers until they
ask for help. That help should
not be given in terms of punish
ment Of the failing child,

great extent. An attractive little
suit Is the one which features a
short checked coat, plain skirt And
cape with the checked lapels. Most
outstanding feature. of this model
and the thing that appeals to the
small girls the checked bag with
shoulder strap-just like Big Sisters.
Most of the coats being shown are
navy blue, some with detachable
pique collars and many with a
double-breasted effect. Hats are not
unusual, the majority being straw
sailors, profusely trimmed with
flowers and ribbons. One OF the
newest fashions Is q straw with
curved under brim, but it has not
proved flattering to the majority
OF small girls. The sweetheart brim
which dips to point in fronts
one Of the most flattering and
adaptable styles.
Fashions for
Small Boys.
In order that the female contin-
gent would not get ahead of them,
the very young gentlemen have
adopted two outstanding motifs
color and contrast Color Is prom
inent in all styles for boys, with
green the leading shade closely fol-
lowed by reds, purples, blues, browns
and every other tone imaginable.
The mix and match" idea is carried
out by contrasting shorts and shirts
for small boys and there are more
color combinations than you can
picture. Another startling fact is
that the young fry are wearing more
hats and less caps-in fact, caps
are practically outmoded-and the
hats repeat the rage for color, mainly
green.
Long trousers for very small
boys-as young as four-are increas-
ingly popular and those made of a
material similar to gabardine are
most attractive. Tweedy sport coats
with contrasting shorts are also in
favor-repeating the casual influ-
ence. In fact, the usual wash suits
that were once the accepted dress,
have faded from the spotlight to
such a degree that they are practi-
cally extinct. From California has
come the rage for color, and it is
predicted that in the next year you
will be amazed at the use of it in
boys and young mems clothes. &.
There is one thing for which we
can be very thankful, namely that
the young set has learned to COM
bine comfort and style In the same
smart manner as their elders. No
more Childish" clothes, but instead
a complete understanding Of fashion
and an adoption of outstanding
modes.
AS long as this week is set aside
and dedicated to children, is would
seem an excellent idea to look over
the smart outfits designed for them.
Well promise you that 1t will give
you ideas for your own adult ward
robe-and we're not kidding!
