Wednesday, November 28, 1923 FREEDOM'S EMBLEM FACES EXTINCTION WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.—A protest against the pleasale laughter of American tales in Alaska was registered by the American Nature assn. in a statement issued today. The association charged that the bird which American pioneers adopted as the national emblem would soon be extinct if some action designed to offset the bounty offered by act of the Alaska legislature is not taken. In a broadcast appeal, the association seeks to reach the children of the public schools by supplying them with its literature, as means toward developing sentiment against the practice. "The easiest place to see an American eagle is on your money, and that will be the only place if the slaughter of this bird is kept up," says the American Nature assn.'s call. "No longer do the tourists to Alaska see these emblems of American liberty float above the forests and shore line. "Alaska's legislature six years ago put a bounty of 50c on every eagle within the Alaskan boundary. The law provides that when an eagle is killed the gunner may get his money by cutting both feet from the bird and exhibiting them to any commissioner of Alaska, with an affidavit. "From 1917 to 1923, 36,000 eagle feet, cut from 18,000 birds, have been checked and accounted for on the bounty records," says the statement in Nature Magazine. "Some were wounded and not caught. Many have fallen into inaccessible places, where they could not be reached. A large number have been shot for sport by people who have not collected the bounties. If we'd pay more attention to mothers before the baby is born, we'd have fewer motherless babies." HALT WAR ON AMERICAN EAGLE In Alaska the American Eagle, emblem of American Liberty being wiped out because of a bounty of fifty cents, says the American Nature Association of Washington, which calls upon the people to register with it a protest against this territorial law. 6 INDUSTRIALISTS SIGN AGREEMENTS PARIS, Nov. 28.—Six German industrialists in the Ruhr have signed an agreement with the Anglo-Belgian forces for production, the foreign office announced today.

THIS IS A STUDEBAKER YEAR POWER & COMFORT MAY FORECAST FUTURE QUAKES STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal. Nov. 28.—Scientists may, within the next few years forecast earthquake shocks as they now do the coming storm, according to Prof. Bailey Willis of Stanford University. Professor Willis has just completed for the Seismological Society of America an earthquake map of California, on which is outlined the geological faults along which earthquakes are likely to occur. The map is designed chiefly for the benefit of constructionists and architects in order that they may avoid building structures where they are subject to "natural damages." "A fault," says Professor Willis, "is a break in the rocks. These breaks are usually many miles long, and as a general rule outline mountain ranges. They penetrate rocks to a depth where they are firmer and much more highly elastic than they are at the surface. "An earthquake is an elastic shock which originates in a slip on a fault, where the rocks have been held by friction, under increasing strain, until they yield. Slipping suddenly, like an elastic spring, they send vibrations through the globe. "Such," declares Professor Willis, "are the earthquakes of California and of other regions where there are no volcanoes. Volcanic activity also gives rise to shocks, and it is not impossible that one kind of an earthquake may pull the trigger for another. In this state, however, we have only the elastic or so-called tectonic earthquake. "Attention has been called in the new map to certain earthquake rifts on which shocks of greater or less violence may be anticipated. The rifts are facts. Movements on them are as certain as thunderstorms in New York in early summer. We may some day be able to keep an accurate record of the elastic vibrations of the earth's crust along danger lines and thereby forecast shocks, but many problems yet..." NOT ONE HORSE ON 100,000 ACRE RANCH Directing the cultivation of 400,000 bushels of wheat annually, with the avowed ambition of producing a million bushels a year, Thomas D. Campbell, "king of wheat growers," has added some 30,000 acres of the Crow Indian reservation to his extensive farm lands, bringing the total land under his supervision to more than 100,000 acres. All of the acreage controlled by Campbell is leased from the Crow Indians through the Indian affairs department of the U.S. government. Campbell's huge project is an outgrowth of the world war and the result of his patriotic desire to furnish more wheat at a time when governmental agencies were crying for greater production. In 1918, with cash provided by New York bankers, Campbell leased huge plots of land from the Crows in Montana, which had lain dormant for years, allowing them 10 per cent of the income from the crops raised. In addition he agreed to leave all permanent improvements upon the land when he was through with it. The first year, 1918, Campbell broke 7000 acres of virgin soil, and in the five years that have elapsed since he undertook the project the "largest wheat grower in the world" has put under cultivation 70,000 acres, surrounded by more than 150 miles of wire fencing. The 30,000 additional acres secured this year will be planted to flax. Campbell's extensive farm lands are thoroughly motorized. There are more than 100 tractors in operation, using 2000 gallons of gasoline a day. In addition there are power plows, harrows, drills and other equipment necessary to the planting, harvesting and marketing of wheat. There is not a horse on the place.
