CALABRIA STANDS IN ZONE OF QUAKES Said to Be Most Dangerous i All Ttaly Washington, D. C, March 28 — Calabria, where Italy's latest carth- | quake occurred, is the least visited! section of the peninsula, says a bul-| letin from the Washington, D. C. headquarters of the National Geo- graphic society which proceeds to "scribe this r n in the “toc” and instep™ of the “ltalian boot.” Not many vears pass” says the illetin, “without Calabria’s appear- | » on our front pages because of un carthquake tragedy. At the southern tip of the province the| inountains of the Italian mainland come to an end at the edge of the| Strait of Messina. Beyond this nar- row channel in Sicily rises Mount | Etna, one of the greatest of active] volcanoes. Messina, on the Sicilian side of the Strait, and Reggio, on! the Calabrian shore, are almost| synonyms for carthquake destruc- tien. | No Ancient Monuments “Calabria was scttled by Greek colonists nearly a millenjum before the Christian era and had flourish- ing cities throughout Greek and Ro- man times. But o severs has been the succession of earthquakes that no structures have remained stand- ing for long, and the region is al- most wholly lacking in evidences of apeient development. ““The climate of this southermost portion of Italy is semi-tropical, and im'the lowlands the vegetation is lux- udant. Chestnut, olive, lemon and orange groves cover the lower slopes, and the craggy hillsides are made pleturesque by aloes and a vegetable immigrant from America, the prickly pear. Swelled Immigrant Stream “Calabria deserves to be better known by Americans, for with near- by Sicily, it has contributed the liow's share of Italian immigrants to the United States. This has had its effect on life in Calabria, for many of those who have journeyed to America have returned with their sayings and have bought small plots ofland. But this has made only a beginning toward peasant proprietor- shlp. For the most part Calabria 14 poor country with a poor agri- cwiture bocause of its large estates and absentee landlords. Drainage has been neglected, and in much of the lowland maldria is prevalent. “Jt & tourist stream should turn toward Calabria it would not find (ravel there easy away from the rail- way which belts the seashore.

Y., March 28 (®— Brother was pitted againat brother in a police search today for the slayer of 10-year-old Marie Terwill- tger. The young girl was shot and killed as she stepped from the doorway of of her home yesterday and police were seeking as her slayer Harry T. McHugh, postmaster of this village, and elder brother of Jesse McHugh, the girl's reputed sweethaert. The police theory was that the elder McHugh after brooding over his brother’s friendship with Miss Terwilliger, of which he disapprov- ed, shot her. Jesse has joined in a village search for his brother, but police believe the elder McHugh probably drowned himself in the flood waters of ai creek that runs through the village.

M. White. Keech and White are considering ways and means to install a reverse gear as required by the A. A. A. They believe the ear will exceed Captain Malcolm Campbell's record of almost | 207 miles an hour. In his preliminary trial in the Triplex Keech gaid his tachometer regstered at 2,300 revolutions of the shaft per minute when a water line became loose, scalding him with steam and hot water, and forcing him to turn off the gas as he enter- ed his mile. The tachometer reading indicated a sped of 250 miles an hour. Keech's car made but one other run but because it was disqualified because of the gear shortcomings it was not officlally timed. Unofficial- ly, the speed was 198.76 m. p. h. on the northbound mile and 209.50 m. p. h. southbound The Triplex is the most power- tully engined automoble ever built. 1t lacks stream-lining but is held to the beach runway by its great weight.

Reconstruct Slaying Reconstructing the slaying main. ly from evidence furnished by |an operater in the telephone ex- change located in the Terwilliger | home, police concluded that the el- der McHugh went to the girl's home |and quareled with her over her | triendship for his brother. The quar- rel terminated with McHugh strik- ing Miss Terwilliger and, then, pur. suing her downstairs and shooting her through the head and heart as | she sought to reach the street, said | the investigators. Neither the operator, Margaret Goldsmith, nor any one so far dlis- covered saw the actual shooting or McHugh's escape. Police sald as the Terwilliger home ia located in the center of the village escape without detection would be impossible, ex- cept at the rear of the building and [to the creek bank. This, police de. clared, was the course followed by McHugh. Upon reaching the stream, they decided, he plunged in and was swept away in the swift current.

Gym Installed in Wales’ New House London, March 28 (UP)—A gym- nasium will be one of the featurcs of the Prince of Wales' new London residence, Marlborough House, when he moves in soon. The prince is a firm bellever in the daily doaen, and the recent un- certainty of hunting, owing to bad weather and foot-and-mouth disease have driven him to other means of obtaining exercise. His first exertions in the mornings take the form of squash rackets or swimming. This is usually followed by a sprint round the spacious lawn at Buckingham palace. For the sec- ond exercise the prince usually dons the sweater and flannels of the box- er indulging in road work, and his Cairn terrier Cora, is always there to prevent him slackening the pace.
