Second Section PROPHET DEGLARES QUAKES POSSIBLE Says Earthquakes Have Been Forecasted and Will Be in Future Santa Clara, Cal, Feb, 22,—FEarth- guakes not only Will be predicted in the future, but actually have been forecast in the past, said Father Jerome 8. Ricard, 8. J., director of the University of Santa Clara observa- tory, in answer to an assertion made in Washington recently by Dr. Thomas A. Jagger, Jr., government scientist, that continued study of seismological data will enable scientists to send out warnings of the approach of tremb- lors, Pather Ricard, noted as a weather prophet, is known as *“the Padre of| the Rains” and his theory of the re-| lation of sun-spots to the weather has| attracted wide attention. “Earthquakes,” he contended, “were first predicted by Marchand, a French- NEW BRITAIN HERALD BRAZIL ASKS INSPECTION OF HER NATURAL WEALTH South American Country Invites Brit- ish Mission of Financial and Economic Experts Rio De Janeiro, Feb. 22.—JFor the purpose of promoting a more favor- able opinion than Brazil at present enjoys in foreign financial circles, the government lhas invited a British mission of financial and economic ex- perts to visit this country.

Democracy will Justify the faith of its true believers by its strivings for better and higher things.” Dr. Moore declared that the tend- ency in education was away from the over emphasis which, for the last! quarter of a century, has been placed upon the physical sciences, and back toward the classics. He defended the value of the ancient languages parti- cularly Latin and Greek. The speaker referred to the popu- larity of the radio as an example of | the tendency in certain quarters to popularize things of transitory inter- est as opposed to the more permanent values of cultural education, “Its efficiency in the transmission of sound for purposes of instruction Campbell’s Tomato Soup “College Girl” Gowns Dainty patterns to em- broider, on good quality g $1.09 Pages 15 to 28 SHOPPING NEWS FOR SATURDAY We will let the values speak for themselves I'nll Fashioned Silk Lisle Hose —Slightly irregulars of the $1.00 grade— in black only — Pair Men's heavy weight Silk Hose —Plain and drop stitch, black, navy, cordovan 390 and grey — Pair Silk Women's heavy Hose. in spring shade.
