consider color In chooslnR pictures
for our homes. The first point was

One covered with meaningless pic*
lures. A few well chosen pictures are
Inspiring She also told um to avoid
'sad, gloomy, tragic, comic or ?i 11 y pic1
lures.
} The next point wan how to select
tour pictures. Size of pictures ahould
jilt wull apace In selecting pictures
l choose pictures which mean some
| thing to you. Also color In pictures
> may suggest and should harmonize
with color scheme for a room. The
next point was framing pictures and
the purpose which Is to finish the picture
and bring out beauty of color and
composition We should choose frames
that have straight lines In proportion
to the size of the picture. Then Miss

to hang pictures Also how to place
pictures We must consider wall
space and hang the pictures low

Objects." She told iih that we should
he very careful in selecting decorative
objects and If there were any
that were gone out of date or that we
do not use, do away with them. Wo
must consider color too in selecting
decorative objects in regards to walls
and furniture. Wo should try to have
the objects balanced. 'Hiat Is, do not
have too many small objects opposite
large objects. In using these things
we in list consider wall space too, for
many objects spoil the effects of our
rooms as well as other things.
MIhh Powell introduced Mrs. Oliver
and Mrs. Harnett, who are Emergency

THE NORTH CAROLINA
EXPERIMENT STATION
I
tells you how to
STOP RUST and START PROFITS
*
NV? I
The NORTH CAROLINA EXPERIMENT STATION recommends top-dressing
cotton with 50 to 100 pounds of MURIATE or 125 to 250 pounds of KAINIT
per acre on fields which have shown heavy Rust damage in the patft and where
the complete fertilizer treatment contained only 3% potash.
The recommendation is made in a recent news release which describes a
series of tests in which " plats receiving the additional amount of potash produced
larger yields, heavier seed, heavier bolls, more lint per seed, better grade, longer
staple, stronger fibers and a higher percentage of normal fibers. Rust damage, on
plats receiving no additional potash, lowered the yield and reduced the quality of
the fiber to such an extent as to lower the value of the crop $15 to $25 per acre/'
The Station selected fields of three farms which had shown severe Rust
damage. One standard variety of cotton was planted in 1935 and 1936. At
planting each field received 400 pounds of complete fertilizer containing 3%
potash, common to the practice of the area. The fields were divided into plats
and certain plats were given additional potash at chopping. The results of
these tests prompted the above recommendation.

BELIEVES EARTHQUAKE8
MAY ONE DAY BE PREDICTED
New York, April 6.?Warning flashes
of earthquakes may one day be
sent out far enough in advance to prevent
or greatly reduce the human toll
generally taken by these catastrophes,!
Father John Lynch, Fordham univers-'
ity seismologist, believes.
Earth tremors may be forecast Just
like weather, enabling occupants of
areas doomed thus to be afficted to
evacuate the danger zones, ho said
today. !
Admitting that the science of
seismology had yet to advance a long
way before this point were reached,
Father Lynch nevertheless believes
progress is being made.
The Fordham seismologist, working
in his laboratory at the university,
redoubling his efforts to trace the
origin of tremblors, following the recent
Ohio .valley and west coast
quakes, has evolved a theory which
he says may explain this latest series
of earth movements in the United
States.
He believes that weakening of the
earth's crust through saturation by
great floods which preceded the Ohio
valley earthquakes may have been responsible
for disturbances in the mid-,
die west.
Not enough is known about earth

quakes at the present time, he sayi,
to enable him to set this theory forth
as dogmatic, although he belleres K
I is scientifically sound.
I "The floods certainly could hare
been a contributing factor," Father
Lynch said. "An earthquake is a tod.
den slipping of the earth's crust. By
seeping through to soften permeable,
layers beneath the top soil the water
could have been the cause of the u&
der layers to give way. j
"In this particular region there hat
been a constant resettling of lb
earth's crust since the mile-thick gl*
iers covering it some 25,000 years a#
receded northward. J

"The removal of the iremendow
pressure of the glacier naturally ra
lieved the strain on the earth beneath them
with a resultant expansion of
the hard packed crust."
