QUAINT BELIEFS The people of Nepal, that mysterious Himalayan kingdom north of India, believe that the recent Indian earthquake was .caused by the flight of three British aviators over Mount Everest last spring. The gods of this mountain, according to the people of Nopal, are jealous of their peak's isolation, and get angry whenever presumptuous men try to climb it. When the British airplane went sailing over the summit, the gods decided things had gone far enough; so they jarred India with an earthquake that took 15,000 lives. This quaint tale is believed devoutly by the superstitious and unlettered people of the Himalayas, and it all sounds very childish and ignorant to enlightened folk like ourselves. Yet we have our own troubles in straightening out mat ters of cause and effect, especially where great national dis asters are concerned, and in some ways we don't seem to be much better at it than the skin-clad tribesmen of Asia. We had our own earthquake, a matter of four years ago, in the form of a depression, and it jarred us clear back to our eye teeth. And if there ever was a land in which people did more frantic running around in circles trying to figure out the cause of an earthquake, the history books don't mention it. ; Some of us blamed tariff and some of us blamed the war; some of us blamed the foreign debts and sonve of us blamed Wall Street; some of us blamed our lack of faith in God and some of us blamed the sun spots; some of us blamed Stalin . and some of us blamed Andy Mellon. And we are so far from being agreed on the cause, even now, that we can't agree on how to handle our domestic economy, our foreign trade, our ' currency, or our international relations, to keep it from hap- , pening again. And there is something rather frightening in all this con fusion. It suggests, somehow, that we are, all of us, en lightened, at the mercy of forces which we can comprehend . Jittle better than the Himalayan peasants comprehend nn earthquake. Perhaps, indeed, we shall have to accept the Himalayan explanation. We flew over a high mountain and the gods were vexed.

Discuss Normal School Status at .Rotary Club (Continued From Page One) I obtain traveling and living clear across the state In either of the two ' larger Institutions of higher learning, stated Dr. Inlow. This Is proven, he added, by the fact that there has been a 02 per cent Increase In Junior college students at the local Institu tion In the past two years. further, he stated, the local Insti tution Is proud of the fact recently disclosed In survey that 83 per cent of Its registrations are from the "upper hair' or above average high school students and S3 per cent of that number are those who stood among the "first quarter" of students In their high school wora. In other words, the conduct and opportunities offered by the normal here are such as to attract a fine class of students. Another Important Item that has attracted attention of students desir ing normal educalon Is the known fact that the local school has placed a higher percentage of Its graduates Into employment than any other like Institution In the state. Of last years trrftrliiMt here 76 per cent found employment. Indicating a fine co operation and recognition of this Krhnol by the school authorities of the state In giving preference to Eastern Oregon Normal graduates In teaching vacancies occurring. Dovolopment here of a normal school and Junior college to the ex tent that It will render adequate and complete services of higher educa tion In those two branches for the B3.000 population represented In Its area of five Eastern Oregon counties is the ambition of the local Insti tution, said Dr. Inlow. Need of the training school build ing and equipment here Is Immediate if the La Grande Normal is to be adequately equipped to give the ut most In educational service and facil ities due thta territory, said the speaker.
