FV AREKILED, LOSS, 000000 FROM EARTHQUAKE Whole Imperial Valley Southern California Violently Shaken. in Is 7 TOWNS DAMAGED. Mexicali, Mex., and El Centro, _Cal., Are the Worst Sufferers. BL CENTRO, Cal., June 23.—An @arthquake shook up the Imperial Valley of California last night, killed five persons, caused damage estimat- ed at $1,000,000 on the valley's little cluster of towns, and left almost un- damaged tho great irrigation system | which transformed the valley from a Gevert to a fertile farming country. El Centro suffered more than any other town, Tho five killed were caught in falling walls at Mexicali, just across the border. Martial law Was proclaimed there. The shocks were severest down at and below the border. The towns of Calipatria and Niland appear to have been Injured less than the towns in the south end of the valley, The earthquake extended all the way to Yuma, Ariz, The duration of the first shock was about thirty seconds, This was followed half an hour later by a second shock almost as severe as the first. P The seismic disturbances, it is be- Heved, originated somewhere in the old volcanoes of the Cocopah Moun- tains, the granite backbone of Lower California, The towns most affected by the earthquake besides El Centro and Moxicali are Calexico, Col.; Imperial, Cal.; Caliptria, Cal.; Browly, Cal, and Heber, Cal. At the first tremor the people in the valley towns rushed into the streets. Lighting piants were almost instantly put out of commission, and the in- habitants were forced to flee in dark- Beas to open places, where they camped for the night. In El Centro several small brick buildings on Main Street were levelled. The Masonic Temple and new Barbara Worth Liotel were dam- aged. Fire destroyed the Deita Mer- cantiie Company's wholesale piant. ‘The Ei Centro Hotel annex collapsed, Additional tremors were felt here to-day, bul no new damage was done. At imperial, Cal., one side of the McHenry Theatre was bent inward and the entire structure threatens to collapse momentarily. The Globe Mills at Caliptria are re- ted to have burned. The Brawley ‘al,, High School was damaged. The earthquake overturned a lantern in the house of A. I. Morgan, a capi- tallest residing between evar ana ri Centro, and the resulting fire de- stroyed the place. At Heber a pillar| of the leading hotel cracked, endan- gering many lives. CALEXICO, Cal.

YY) lll Opinion of Harvard’s President That Men Are Close to Their Mental Maximum at the Age of Twenty-Nine Combated by Successfyl New Yorkers. By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. “The mentality vj the average man is greater at fifty than tt was at forty. The mentally ablest men I know are between fifty-five and staty five."—Judge Elbert H. Gary, “1 know that I have not yet reached my mental marimum, and I am some way past twenty-nine. Most men are more valuable after forty than before {t."— Henry Clewa. That is how two of the ablest men in New York reply to the remarkable asseveration of Dr. A. Lawrence Lowell, President of Harvard University, who has just informed this year's graduating class that they are “close upon their mental maximum.” “I belleve that the physical and mental maximum is reached at about the same time,” declared President Lowell. “A man reaches his full growth physically at about eighteen or nineteen, and then begins to lose his keener perceptions at about the age of twenty-three, which may be called the physical maximum period. PRESIDENT PROVED HIS THE-* ORY BY A POET. “Phe mental maximum is readied a great deal rier than most people suppose, Coleridge wrote his best poems when twenty-nine years old, and many éther famous men have ac- complished their best work at about this age. ‘ys: this b true, you have rm hed your phy al maximum and are close wu) yo mental maximum, rv Lowell is correct {n assuming the su- periority of the twenty-nine-year-old intellect?

Provided he keeps his health a man of mature yeare mentally superior to what he was in his youth, His judgment his perspective clearer, nce more profound, he if not quicker, he balanca, he is settled down.” Judge Gary spoke quietly, with brief, thoughtful pauses between his cavefully picked phrases, He im- ee pressea one as an cssentiully quict ,” without coupons, |person, He hardly moved a muscle as he talked, his head bent for- ward, his bright blue eyes downcast. |Only the fingers of one well kept hand figured meditatively the knob of a drawer in his desk.
