Earthquake Wrecks r Town In Colombia Inhabitants Always at Mercy of Mountains. Washington, D. C.—Earthquakes In the Andes are constantly serving as reminders that man is at the mercy of the mountains. The town of Tuquerres, high among the peaks of southern Colombia, recently >vds “reminded” with such a shock that it was almost wiped out. “Tuquerres lies on a populous green plateau which serves as a ‘landing’ 10,000 feet above sea level on the rocky staircase of the Andes,” says the National Geogra phic society. “Above it, black peaks lift per petually snowy points into the raw mists of uninhabitable altitudes. In the lowlands on either side of Co* lombia’s mountain backbone, near the crest of which Tuquerres i s cradled, jungle settlements steam in tropical humidity. But Tuquer res, only about 90 miles north of the Equator, is air-cooled by alti tude, with temperate weather suit able for grain and grazing.

BARRETT ried, small-scale distributing center. “The town itself is a rather ex tensive conglomeration of crudely built houses; most of the 19,000 in habitants are satisfied with roofs of thatch over their heads. Markets for produce from the rich grain fields and gardens round about, a few industrial projects such as the fine tannery, and transient strings of laden burros keep Tuquerres mildly busy. It is also somewhat of a religious and educational cen ter. “In the precipitous Andes where roads are so rare that old Spanish trails are in many places unsur passed, Tuquerres is considered doubly blessed in its location — on two main routes. One good mule trail passes through from the larger city of Pasto, forty miles north, and winds over crag and precipice to the frontier of Ecuador. The other trail, down which foodstuffs are dispatched to the grainless jun gles of the coastal lowlands, de scends the Andes westward toward the Pacific coast. “The town’s green patch of fertile plateau is surrounded by a volcanic tangle of arid mountains, where towering ridges crisscross in an in tricate knot before spreading three main chains northward to separate into a rough fleur-de-lis pattern. Volcanoes may have built the site of Tuquerres, showering cinders and pumice into a deep gorge until the valley became a tableland In support of this theory, a casual glance around the horizon reveals active volcanoes looming so high that they wean their smoke plumes in white capo of perpetual snow.

Tuquer res absorbs a large populatkm of al most pure Indians, among whom prevails a lofty unconcern about rapid advances of civilization. The stocky mountain Indian, with the high cheekbones of his broad brown beardless face glowing above a red poncho, is in no hurry for a rail road. He is more concerned that the fertile fields yield generous quantities of wheat, potatoes, tobac co. and part of the national coffee crop which makes Colombia second in production only to Brazil He ' will carry hts surplus to market on 1 his own back, or jc his small mule, or on the back bf his wife, whose numerous shapeless skirt* and bright shawl brighten the narrow trails with touches of red and pur ple. “Pizarro’s gold • hunten passed through this region 300 years ago, lured from their stronghold in Peru by the precious metals and emer alds of Colombia. Not far from Tuquerres gold is still mined. In deed, in the same Department of Nanno are over 2,000 gold mines. 1 ' It has been a long time since the angels sang “Peace on earth to men of good will.” Perhaps we need to listen anew to that unfinished symphony, as its ' fugue of divine harmony rever berates unheeded in so many of the major pro ductions of hu man action. If the action as well as the abstract essence of good will were applied to some of our vexing social problems today, we would have the solution as well as the formula. We would understand the truth of actual experiment in the science of living. The scientific method must be applied to the art of living as well as to the f rt of learning.

When labor is con vinced that it has been dealt with unjustly we have a strike. Now a strike clearly indicates that some thing is wrong in our economic sys tem. The personal cause of strikes may differ in each industrial center but the direct cause of all such dis turbances is the absence of the spirit of good will and the presence of that spirit of rivalry and dis trust which creates war instead of peace. In the mutual spirit of good will, many of these problems could be adjusted more easily and many mistakes amicably adjudicated. The spirit of good will will break down cleavage lines which separate people into artificial social classes. Sham conventionality and assumed aristocracy cannot exist with good will. Cultural progress demands a better understanding of all social levels and a deeper sympathy with the higher motives of every indi vidual and every race. Good will is the only sure social motif for the multitudes that struggle for an ade quate expression of life. Every merchant recognizes that the spirit of good will is a prime requisite in successful business management. He will go a long way to merit it and he knows that with out good will he is at a disad vantage. Competition always con siders the quality of service. Cus tomers want more than mere com modities. The spirit of good will is essen tial to the inner peace of one’s own life.. It disallows a “spite fence” between one’s lot and that of his neighbor. Without good will true and abiding friendship is im possible to individuals or to nations. The present condition in Europe is an illustration of the absence of good will. Distrust, suspicion and re venge are rampant. How car. there be peace under such conditions?
