The foundation is engaged in a study of earthquake hazard. “In this year itself more than a quarter of the people of the United States, and Canada have feit the ef- fect of earthquake shock,” the re- port continues, “and of this great group of men, women and children, those in New England, New York, Montana and Alberta realized, in many cases for the first time, that | thelr own areas were not immune to earthquake shock. “When we examine the story )l farther, however, we find not only | that the United States has been | widely affected, but also that earth- quakes in many lands, especially in Japan, Mexico, South America, Ja- maica and the channel islands, have played their part in the widespread | story. Measured by number, or measured by difference of zones of | origin, this year ranks with the most important of all known years of earthquaKe, Measured by the sig- nificance of the lessons taught, it ranks first, No year has glven more Jessons to6 mankind ot the possible | aangers of earthquake shock or of | the way to meet those dangers. In brief, no single year since continu- ous study of this subject opened 100 vears ago has given more lessons to mankind af the ways in which men dle or suffer under conditions of earthquake shock, or of the possi- bility of lessening death, loss and ruffering under such conditions. For all these reasons this year has been called by many “the most significant vear in the history of earthquake hazard.” COTTON REPORT Washington, July 14 (A—Cotten consumed during June tofalled 498,- 765 bales of line and 60,577 of lin- ters, compared with 531,471 of lint and 40,016 of linters in June 1ast year, the census bureau today an- nounced.

THO NEW MEMBERS FOR POLI'S STOCK COMPANY - Dorothy Tord and Flora Gade Make Bow Before Audience in Hartford, (By Herald Reviewer.) A tale of the wicked, wickeq city and what it 414 for, not to, a trio of the most upright eitizens from Camp's Corners, New York state, has beel made the theme of a hilar- fous comedy called “The Alarm Clock,” in which the Polt Players are appearing this week at the Pal- ace theater, Hartford, These country folks, originally imported to take care of Bobby Brandon, who has been & oing around with too many other wom- ¢en, according to Bobby's lady friend, married variety, are a hopeless sort When they arrive, being given to singing hymns and regarding every- thing through- smoked glasses of virtue as taught by their “dear minister.” In fact, they are so coun- trified, according to the best tradi- tions of the state, that their antics become rather monotonous toward the end of the first act, and When the curtain rises on the second, one is glad that they have pepped up, Which they have, of course. This week sees the appearance of 1wo new members of the company, Dorothy Lord, who takes the place of the well known Frances Williams, and Flora Gade, who is a welcome change from Gilda Kreegan as the ingenue, Both are well cast and show marked ability in their parts this week. The company is now well bal- the same for the duration of the gea- son, expectations are that the com- ing plays will be well handled. Fred Raymond plays the part of Bobby Brandon and Jean Oliver that ot Mary, one of the imported “home makers.” Of course there's a ro- mance, in fact three of them—which makes it noce. Walter Scott Weeks further displays his versatility as the “dumbbell shelk” friend ot Bobby. DISMISSAL UPHELD. Bridgeport, July 14 (A—In a de- cision handed down yesterday after- noon, Judge Arthur F. Ells of the superior court decldes that the action taken by the selectmen of the town of Westport in dismissing Walter T. Dufty as captain of police, was jus- tified. Duffy's contention when the case was taken to the superior was that the hearing after which he was dlsmissed was held behind closed doors and he was only admitted when it became time for him to ap- pear bafore the aelectmen. He also claimed that his dismissal came about because of political strife, In his decision Judge Ells advocates open hearing for such cases, but de- clares that the selectmen wera priv- fleged to keep it a secret it they so wished.
