The "Nutritional Yardstick" set I'D ny leading dietitians in Wash ington recently measures the foods that should be included in every diet to strengthen national health, but housewives should consider the vocation of the family breadwinner while planning her daily meals.
 If the man of your house is a policeman, postman, salesman or earns his living in active yet not strenuous outside work, his daily caloric requirements in general should be from 2700 to 3200 calories. It is important that he gets plenty of complete protein in his diet to repair and build muscle tissues used daily in his job That means you can serve generously three times daily along with other clements of a well-balanced diet.
 Here is typical menu for a fam fly of this type, and the recipe for the main dish on the dinner menu:
 BREAKFAST: Orange juice, cooked whole grain cereal, bacon nuns with creamed eggs, coffee, milk.
 DINNER: Citrus juice cocktail, baked veal steak with chilli sauce, baked potatoes, buttered lettuce

CALIFORNIA COLLEGE CLOTHES GO "WILD WEST AND. WOOLLY
Cowboy Styles Provide Many
 ColOrful Notes
By DEE LOWRANCE NEA Service Correspondent

Hollywood The college-bound will find cheer in the newest styles, created just for them, by California designers. They got a big hand at the recent fall fashion showings in Los Angeles.
 And what's new?A color story to bring joy to young hearts, 8 sil- houette story to be snappily ap- proved. The same goes for fabrics. In all but "date dresses" California offers an answer. West Coast manu- lecturers bow to the East Coast for dressy dresses for the younger gen. eration.
 Shoulders are easy, slightly slop- ed. Sleeves are wider, the dolnan is all over the place. There's blouse fullness above the waist. Skirts are full and free, except in the classic shirtmakers for classroom wear, which feature a more fitted line.
 The Wild West comes to the fore in the new colors-called Trail of the 49ers." There's Buffalo Brown (warm); Fools Gold (deep); Gun- powder Gray (blued); Bonner Moss (named for the moss found in Don- ner Pass); Red Dust (rust); Prairie Fire Ca hot red); Timberline Green (woodsy)fn Purple Shale (slate pur- ple); and Galena Blue (slate blue).

 Cowboys and Indians cut a wide ESwath in this falls college clothes You find the theme in the class room dresses with their matching and contrasting boleros, cut like cowgirl's and banded in fringe. You find 1t, too, in the suedes used for trimming, held together by leather thongs.

BOMBING FROM BELOW

~ is puny in the scale of nature Six
months of Hitler's terror by bombs took
25,OOO British lives and wrecked many thou
sands of buildings But on September l, 1923,
in Japan, the earth shuddered for sixteen
seconds and the great cities of Tokyo and
Yokohama were razed to the ground as grass
falls before a scythe
During five minutes of violent secondary
shocks, fires started here and there among the
ruined houses, and the water system broke
down. Almost at the same time a great ty-
phoon sent bowling winds inland, spreading
the flames at fantastic rate. Shrieking men
and women found themselves trapped in
solid ring of flames Tokyo became mighty
furnace In an effort to escape, many threw
themselves into the ponds and fountains in
the parks, only to die horribly in water that
Kissed and bubbled from the intense heat
When the fires had burned themselves out

If the full power of terror from below were

Man bombs his fellow man from above But nature
does her bombing from below. Earthquakes have
ruined entire countries - they have even changed
the course Of history Will it happen again?
by Albsrs Carr

It would be tremendous help to military
strategists if they could. But. even so, earth
quakes and the threat of earthquakes remain
an ever-pesent factor, and sometimes they
have decisive influence in human affairs.
Like Monstrovs Hammer Blows

to break his way out. The myth is understood

UnsoIved Mystery
MODERN science is still far from understand
ing the ultimate forces at work in earth
quakes. Probably they have to do with the
cooling of the earth, which, over the ages.
causes the crust of our planet to contract,
warping it here into great range of noun
tains, there into a deep ocean trough. Per
haps, too the huge land masses, or continents,
are slowly shifting their positions and folding
the crust at certain points. Thus large areas
of the Skin" of the earth are continually be-
ing stretched or bent.
Frequently the strain at some point be-
comes too great. Then, as if a trigger had been
pulled, section of crust gives way. Some
times the grinding and heaving that results
is felt at the surface as vertical movement
- as in an Alaskan quake where the rocks at
one point dropped forty and one-half
feet along fault plane. More often the slip
page is horizontal. In California, in 1906.
surface block of crust 275 miles long moved
for ward as much as twenty-five feet "a
record.
As one would expect. the great earthquake
belts, or regions of strain of the earth's crust,
are found wherever young" mountain ranges
have been pushed up near deep oceans - on
both shores of the Pacific, the northern shore
of the Mediterranean, and in the area bor-
dering the Himalayas north of the Indian
Ocean But quakes can and do occur even
where there are no high mountains. In Decem
Der, 1910, staid New England was startled
by two shocks of some severity four days
apart In recent geological times, strains evi
IDENTIFY have been built up in this relatively
fiat region.
Any violent earthquake can pull the trig-
ger" for quakes in other areas of strain.
That may be one reason why severe shocks
in different regions often come in close sue
cession. But every year is big earthquake

.uuakes somewhere in the world - and Sc
we're shock every six and a half days is normal
Fortunately most of the major earthquakes
are submarine and thus affect nobody except
the fish. But mankind has had its share of
suffering from the imprisoned giant. In the
library of Paris the famed catalogue of i'm
portant earthquakes takes up eighty-fve feet
of shelf space. Small wonder, for it contains
172OOO accounts, dating from the first re-
corded quake, in China, 3,773 years ago.
We in the United States have been lucky
with respect to earthquakes, as in most other
things. In Japan, over many years, an aver
age of four shocks day have been recorded.
Most have been slight, of course But it is
easy to understand the fatalistic religion of
the japanese, their light regard for human
life, their quaint houses of bamboo and paper,
which are not so likely to crush persons when
they fall and their intense interest in seis-
mology Ia word derived from seism0s, Greek

was in this quake said that the sudden jots
and twists of the earth were like physical
beating. For hours afterward his body ached,
while many around him were nauseated
and hysterical with terror. Psychiatrists
have observed that survivors of great earth
quakes often suffer from lasting nervous dis
orders.
So mysterious and awesome are some earth
quakes that even those who are not physically
hurt may be stricken to their spiritual depths.
The great quake at Caracas, Venezuela, IN
1872, was preceded by strange agitation
among hocks of birds which rose and circled
about the city uttering loud cries. Then hun
dreds of church bells began to toll without
touch of mortal hand With a low rumblmg
sound the earth slid toward the north, while
violent jerks from east to west, of incredible
rapidity, prostrated the entire population.
Terrified men, lying in the streets, began
to confess their crimes and sins to whoever
would listen. Thousands crawled into the
great churches of the city, only to be crushed
to death few minutes later when walls and
roofs caved in. A regiment of soldiers, drawn
up for parade was annihilated in less than
minute, almost to the last man. Afterwards,
a religious fervor seized all survivors; it was
said that man who had lived through the
quake of Caracas could always be told from
others by the feeling with which he prayed.
