EARTH TREMORS
SHAKE BOSTON

Severest Quake- in 174
Years Attributed to
Crust Shift.
Bu United Prefix
BOSTON, Nov. 19.—Preliminary
study of seismographic records by
scientists indicated today that a
strong earthquake which shook the
northeastern part of the United
States and eastern Canada Monday
had its center either in a fault in
the ocean bed just off the New Eng
land coast, or in the valley of the
St. Lawrence.
The disturbance caused high
buildings and towers to sway as
much as three feet, broke windows
and sent residents of many cities
scurrying to the streets in alarm.
Women working in offices in tall
buildings here and in Augusta, Me.,
were reported to have become ill of
dizziness caused by the undulations
of the structures. Others fainted
with fear.
The most severe shock was felt in
Boston about 3:35 p. m. and lasted
for two minutes, and the tremors
continued for nearly two hours. It
came just 174 years to the day after
the worst quake in New England’s
history.
Reports from Nova Scotia de
scribed the quake as the most se
vere in that island’s history. It oc
curred during a heavy snowstorm.
Several persons fainted at Halifax
after rushing" to the streets from
quivering buildings.
Professor Kirtley F. Mather of
Harvard university, where wireless
towers swayed in an ar-c of three
feet, expressed opinion that the
earthquake was the result of a shift-

along the “Dimdian fault.”
This fault runs southwestward,
under the ocean from the Bay of
Fundy, between Nova Scotia and
New Brunswick, to Cape Ann, just
north of here.
Bearing cut this theory,' United
Press dispatches from St. John’s,
Newfoundland, told of a small tidal
wave accompanying the shock on
land. On the southern coast of the
island, the water suddenly receded
six feet and then rolled back to nor
mal. Schooners lying at anchor
were tossed about severely by the
waves.

12,000 CHOICE
ANIMALS WILL
BEEXHIBITED
Chicago Reports World’s
Largest Stock Show to
Open Nov. 30.
Bn Times Special
CHICAGO, Nov. 19.—When the
International Livestock Exposition
opens at Chicago the last of this
month, anew high mark for the
number of animals on exhibit will
be established, announces B. H.
Heide, secretary of this world's
largest agricultural show.
Over 12,000 head of the choicest
livestock, horses, cattle, sheep and
swine which the world produces
will be on view. Opening at the
Chicago stockyards on Nov. 30, the
first Saturday following Thanks
giving, the exposition will be in
progress until Dec. 7.
Entries were received in the cat
tle department in such numbers
and representative of such quality
that the management predicts with
surety the largest and most Im
pressive exhibit of cattle ever seen
at the International.
Sheep, swine, and horses main
tain their high totals established at
the 1923 exposition. An astounding
growth, practically 100 per cent, in
the number of farm boys and girls
showing livestock will be witnessed
in the coming event.
Some idea of the truly interna
tional scope of this exposition, and
the far distances from which con
testants travel to participate, is
obtained upon glancing at the pre
liminary exhibitor list.
Take the Shorthorn breed as an
example. Nominations from Massa
chusetts will meet those from Cali

foremost ‘‘red, white, and roan”

heads will be matched with those
of Texas.
Similarly with the Herefords,
herds will assemble at Chicago on
this occasion from such separate
points of the compass as Alberta,
Oklahoma, West Virginia, and
California, as well as many other
states.
Educational exhibits this year
promise to be as fascinating as
they are instructive. The United

will baa large exhibitor; so will the

each year are making new and im

significance to the man or woman

Bolstered by the thousands of
practical examples of perfection on
all sides in the form of livestock
and crops exhibits, these educa

tional more than a great show or
a spectacle. It is in effect an
“Eight Day University,” where the
city man can gain knowledge while
being entertained, and where the
farm expert, however proficient he
is, still can learn profitably from
fellow experts.
