C. C. Welhausen, president of

that Geo. P. Barron is a man
of “progress.”
We’ve been trying to carry that
message over in this column since
we waged a desperate battle for

building, and we were in favor
of letting Geo. do it, and Geo.
did it.

“To Please Mother”
In other words, obedience,
performed the annual duties of a well as the other virtues of child-
hood, can be over emphasized. Dr.
Bamford thinks a child should
learn to do the thing because he
gets pleasure, out of doing it’right,
not because someone tells him to
do it. But doing it wrong is part
of learning to do it right.
Dr. Bamford’s biggest worry is

ON GLAMOR GIRLS
LONDON (AP). — When
comes to glamor, the American
girl has her English cousin back-
ed clear off the map.
That’s the conclusion of a
British impresario who made a
fruitless search of the provinces
for 14 English beauties who would
match the “high standard” of
the American glamor girls he has
been importing for a Mayfair
night riub.
The labor ministry told him he
would have to produce a show
with English girls before he
brought in any more Americans.
, So he began a quest for “fresh-
mater of life and | faced” girls from the country.
When that failed, he came back
to London. And out of 300 girls
interviewed here he has found
one who will do. But she was
born in Scotland.

WASHINGTON —Dr.
Heck, U. S. coast and geodetic
survey, wants this country to go
earthquake hunting in tho Rocky
mountains.
The hunt, he says, would save
property and lives. The Rockies
are still growing. But, says Heck,
there is only one seismograph per
100,000 square miles in the moun-
tains, not enough to discover the
sources of the shakes.
With enough seismographs, ge-
ologists could determine the cen-
ters where slipping rocks of the
growing mountains set up the
tremors. Next, they could deter-
ettahesJ ETAOIN ..........
mine the nature of the geolo-
gical fosmations, surftce and. bu-
ried about these centers.
With the information, they
could begin to make blue prints
to save lives. They couhl figure
the vibration periods of the quake
regions. The period is the rate of
vibration. In some soils it is
about three a second, in others
one each half-second or one a
second.
Putting up buildings that vi-
brate a a defferent rate he ex-
plains is a i '
death. The structure whose nat-
ural vibration period happens to
be the same as thpt of the quake
is very likely to collapse.
