30,000 EARTHQUAKES
EVERY YEAR!
Italy’s Disaster Is Only One of the Many Tremors That Occur on an Average of 17
V ■ 3 ? Minutes Apart Somewhere in the World, Though Most Are Slight.
..^CI BY BERYL MII.LER
NEA Service Writer
CLEVELAND. O., July 29—Once
1 ?- 17 min utes—which means 30,
nnn 00 times in the
old Mother course of a year—
Earth shakes or shud
ders and there is an earthquake
somewhere in the world.
Most of these seismic disturb
ances. of course, are slight; many
of them are never noted except or
the delicate recording instruments
of scientists; some deal widespread
hwth and destruction, and others
may occur harmlessly far under the
» surface of the sea.
For no man really stands on “so
lid ground’; far below the surface
the restless forces of nature that
brought the planet into being aeons
s'. o|o are an still extremely at work. violent Occasion
beneath shudder
occurs a densely populated
community, as has just been the
in __
case Italy, and then we hp//e a
major disaster with widespread
death and destruction.
Two Kinds of Quakes
"There are two kinds of earth
quakes. according to Father F/L.
Odenbach of John Carroll Univer
fcity here, one of the world's most
noted seismologists.
“These two types are volcanic
aira tectonic, explains Father Oden
bach. “Those of volcanic are 11m
ited in extent Tectonic earthquakes
are caused by shrinkage of the earth
with accompanying displacements
of huge masses.”
Geologists, he says, once thought
the center of the earth was a fluid
mass. Now they believe it is solid,
thought they admit that this solid
interior may, under terrific heat and
pressure, become sufficiently plas
tic to flow like wax.
Volcanos Cause Italy’s
“Italy's volcanos are responsible
! Father many earthquakes," says
Odenbach. Many theories
have been advanced for the cause
of a volcanic eruption and accom
panying tremors of the earth. I»
was believed at one time that see
page of water into the molten inter
Trior created steam that caused the
^periodic upheavals. Explosion of
gases also Is blamed for eruptions.
"But many now think the most
probable cause is that the earth
shrinks, causing the crust to col
la and pressure of the crust on
olten Interior forces it upward
[h the volcano’s crater. This
terrific churning beneath the sur
face causes the tremors and de-’
structlon.

THE CAUSE OF ITALY’S GREAT EARTHQUAKE is shown In
this striking diagram which reveals how the restless underground
forces of nature work in both kinds of subterranean disturbances—
volcanic and tectonic. In the volcanic kind, occurring in Italy be
cause of the presence of Vesuvius and other volcanos, the disturb
ance is limited in area because the forces find outlet throught
the volcano. The cause of this disturbance is the same as that of
the tectonic quake—shrinkage of thf earth, < shifting of the masses
underground, and consequent pressure of these'hot masses upward
and out. But the tectonic quake ha*1 .no easy outlet, like the vol
canic, and therefore causes a much greater disturbance and over a
wider area when it does force itself through. At right is Father
F. L. Odenbach of John Carroll University of Cleveland, one of.
the country’s»greatest seismologists.
by a tectonic quake, but most of its
disturbances are of volanic origin.
After a volcano starts erupting, its
action causes further disturbance
below the surface."
History of volcanic eruption in It
aly begins with a vague record of
one supposed to have occurred some!
1500 years before the Christian era.
Vesuvius, most celebrated of Italian
volcanos, was built up from the floor
of the Mediterranean by prehistoric
eruptions as was the surrounding
land. Its first outburst recorded in
history was in 79 A. D., when the
cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum
were destroyed.
Whole Island Exploded
“One of the greatest volcanic out
bursts in many years was the ex
plosion of the volcanic island of
Krakatao in the East Indies In
1883,” Father Odenbach said. “So
completely did this eruption blow
up the island that it was completely
submerged Into the sea. The island
is now reported to be re-appearing.”
This outburst is said to have lash
ed the ocean into waves 100 feet
high, inundating neighboring coasts
and drowning thousands of persons.
And yet. as an earthquake, the dis
turbance was mild, a more or less
local affair caused by pressure of
gases within the volcano and was
recorded only by nearby instru
ments. This Is true of practically
all volcanic earthquakes.
"The other kind of earthquake,
mom vibrations, powerful and far-reaching in
its is called the tectonic
quake,” the scientist said. "These
are caused by slipping masses along
regions of weakness sometimes call
ed fractures in the crustal rocks,
and the break may be far below the
surface. The most destructive
quakes are tectonic.
North America Shaken
"Such an earthquake was that of
1661, which violently shook much
of North America, Old records
tell us how forest trails were shift
ed so far that Indians lost their
way. Mud flowed In the St. Law
rence river and nauseating gases,
evidently from far underground,
caused fish to leap from the murky
river.”
Some quakes move up and down.
Others have a rolling motion, while
still others give a tremendous Jerk.
The horizontal movement along
the surface may be considerable. A
court suit once resulted from an
earthquake _ . which . , ^ shirted . ,
a
between two properties.
The Charleston. S. C., disaster
1886 was of the rolling kind, billow
ing along like an ocean of
with the waves two feet high rrcru
trough to crest.
There are several regions where
earthquakes are most likely to oc
cur. These Include Japan. Mex
ico, Asia Minor, Sicily, the Aleutian
Islands and the Pacific ocean, In
many instances, volcanic proxtmi
ty is responsible.

Your Children
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
y
There seems to be a great fear
among parents that the new system
of dealing with children is going
to standardize them—make them all
alike.
I look at it this way. Take hos
pitals, for an example, and the- new
science of dealing with disease. Doc
tors are gradually eliminating cer
tain* diseases. They are strength
ening constitutions by exercises anc!
diet. They are, in other words
standardizing health, making people
more alike because they ar» mak
ing them better.
If certain methods of dealing with
children are going to make them
more truthful, more confident, less
selfish, kinder and more courage
ous, would you think it a bad thing
to standardize them? I don’t. I
think they need standardizing in
the common idea because It leads
to the higher Idea of lofty stand
ards and ideals.
Guard Their Personalities
Of course we don't want to make
them alike. Heaven forbid. Would
not it be a drab, uninteresting world,
with the people all alike? But the
one thing that the new methods
in child handling tries to develop
is this very difference. We want
children to be themselves, emphati
cally so. That Is. we want to keep
their personality unimpaired.
But there are often things in a
child’s nature, In this very person
ality, that can stand a little chang
ing. Suppose he is painfully shy,
unhappy and afraid.
Surely it is a kindness to try to
get his mind off himself and by
known methods to increase his con
fidence and capacity for pleasure
Curb Selfishness
Perhaps he Is what we like to
call the extravert by temperament
_ the 8eU . wUted ha rd-golng child,
keenly interested In the world about
him. but inclined to annex as much
of that world as he can for himself.
Selfish! Is It a mistake to Instill In
him a sympathy and consideration
for others? We can do that without
Interfering with his enthusiasm and
energy. Yet that would be called
standardization.
The people who are against stan
dardization as a rule are firm sup
porters of that old chestnut, seif
expression. "Allow them to do as
they please,” la their slogan. "Any
thing so that they’ll grow up differ
ent*
Well, we should know by this time
the difference between self-expres
sion and license. But too many
people don’t. Let children do as
they please and they will become
bandits nine times out of ten.
But I do emphasize the kernel in
the nut of the debate. We must
not crush out of children the lit
tle things they attempt to do. It
those things are constructive of
character, and not the quick-sands
of mere selfish desire. Such things
should bt encouraged.

"Oh, yes I am. And if you want

Sue nodded, Corrinne hadn't
told her much about the plans Pr
the affair, but she had heard ru

expensive entertainment.
“Somebody told me that the girls
all thought I'd have Just an ordi

not letting me handle the finances
of the family,” Corrinne continued
"I was going to make it simpler...
but that made me mad. I saw
stars, red and green ones, and they
weren’t hamging on a Christmas
tree, either. She shut her mouth
grimly, then went on. "Well, thev
won’t forget that meal for a while.'
Sue waited. She knew that Cor
rinne was enjoying the memory,
unpleasant though its consequences
evidently were.
“I gave each one a stiver vanity

more than I thought they were go
