PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 30. Lilian
Conrad, whom Charles Garland, the j
eccentric young millionaire or Boston,
claimed as his "soul twin" and whom
eccentric family life with Garland
caused the departure of Garland's
wife, has returned to Philadelphia
and is now in a place where "she will
be free from further annoyance," as
the girl's father, J. S. Conrad, de
clared today.
"This is a most unfortunate and
shocking affair," Conrad said. "There
is no money involved in the incident.
Everything that parents in moderate
circumstances could do for her in ed
ucation and social standing has been
done, and everything is now being
done to protect her from further an
noyances. "She returned to her home, but is
not in Philadelphia at the present
time, which closes the incident as far
as she is concerned."

For Deviation of Earth
and Provide New "Poles"
As Centers of Rotation.
"SLIP" THOT TO BE
IN PACIFIC OCEAN
Exact Location of Movement
Not. Discovered; Delicate
Instruments Show Tremor.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. An ex
tremely severe earthquake disturb
ance estimated to be about 2400 miles
south of Washington, was recorded
this morning on the seismograph at
Georgetown university.
The tremors began at 8:25 a. m. and
at 8:36 a. m. became so pronounced
that the needles were dislodged from
the record. The tremors were still
in progress at 10:15 a. m.
The earth in its whirl through
space got off center a rew moments
today and shifted its "poles" or axis
to fit the new center of rotation.
Then that it might not be traveling
on a ''flat wheel," so to speak, a few
million tons of solid rock, some where
off the western coast of the United
States, in the bed of the Pacific
ocean, "slipped" 100 feet or so to even
things up. The seismograph record
showed a deviation of a millimeter
and a half.
This is the manner In which pro
fessors of geology and seismographic
observers account for the violent
earth vibrations which demoralized
instruments in observatories today.
Thus for the exact location of the
huge "slip" has not been determined,
although observers from Washington,
D. C-, to Berkeley, Cal., agree, it pro
bably was a few hundred miles off
the mouth of the Columbia river.
DEATH LIST 97
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. Ninety
seven persons, according to a final
and" official list issued today by the
District of Columbia authorities, lost
their lives in the collapse Saturday
night, under a burden of snow, of the
Knickerbocker theater roof. Any ad
ditions to the list ,it was said, would
result from the fatal termination of
injuries by other victims.
RAPPE TRIAL N EAR END
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 31. The
prosecution was prepared to close its
rebuttal today in the manslaughter
case against "Fatty" Arbuckle after
calling eight witnesses. It was under
stood that there would be some surre
buttal testimony from the defense and
that the arguments would likely begin
tomorrow. ,
The district attorney has no hope of
a conviction and apparently is en
deavoring merely to obtain a disagree
ment. BARBER IS S.UICIDE
TACOMA, Wash., Jan. 31. Joe Hen
dricks, 35, a barber, committed sui
cide early today as Patrolman W.
Hawley entered his home to arrest
him. The brother of Hendricks had
called the police, alleging his
brother was unruly and abusive to
his mother. As the patrolman entered
the front door, Hendricks ran out of
the back and lrank a quantity of
poison, saying, ' goodbye, Hawley, I'm
going."
20 INDICTMENTS OUT
NE- YORK, Jan. 31. Twenty in
dictments against corporations and 28
individuals engaged in the heating

Gasoline Sales In
Oregon on Increase
SALEM, Or., Dec. 28. Sales of gas
oline in Oregon during the month of
November, 1921, exceeded those of the
same month a year ago by 70,416 gal
lons, according to a statement com
piled here today by Sam A. Kozer,
seceretary of state. Distillate "sales
showed an increase of 70,709 gallons.
Taxes remitted by distributors for
November aggregated $39,373.72 under
the 1919 law, and $40,045.57 under the
law of 1921. The total amount of
taxes collected on sales of motor ve
hicle fuels from February 25, 1919,
when the original tax law became ef
fective, up to and including the month
of November, 1921, aggregated $1,741,
864.63. Refunds of taxes paid under the-
1921 law, which are authorized when
the motor vehicle fuels are purchased
and used for purposes other than the
operation of motor vehicles on the
public highways, amounted to $15,
500.92, between March 1 and Decem
ber 27 of this year, or slightly less
than 3 per cent of the total tax col
lected under this law.
Claims for refunds must be based
upon oath of the claimant that the
motor vehicle fuels were used for an
exempted purpose, and must be filed
witn tne secretary of state within 90
days from the purchase or invoice.

Bank Clearings and Bankruptices
Prominent among the instruments- by which the
business world measures commercial conditions, are the
figures of bank clearings and bankruptcies. Bank clear-
ings might be called the thermometer of business, regis-
tering its periods of warm enthusiasm, also as some
might say, its times of cold feet. And bankruptcies are
the barometer, a storm signal recording the presence of 1
industrial and economic tempests.
Bank clearings for 1 92 1 were 25 per cent below
those of 1 920. But no such decline in business occurred,
since the prices of merchandise and raw materials must
have averaged at least 20 per cent lower in 1921 than in
1 920. It would seem as if the actual volume of business f
done could not have fallen more than five per cent. f
Furthermore, it is noticed that bank clearings do not I
usually record business changes until after they happen,
since so many of the payments for goods are not made
until a considerable time after the goods are completed.
Consequently the large revival in business occurring in
the latter half of 1 92 1 has not fully shown itself in these f
figures. f
Bankruptcies for 1 92 1 were not as large as in 1 9 1 5,
though exceeding all other years. The total liabilities
for 1 92 1 were a little more than twice those of 1915. But
since transactions during 1 92 1 were measured in greatly
enlarged prices ,this increase in total liabilities is not re- I
markable. 1915 was a year above the average, as the f
country was getting a lot of war business from Europe 1
then.
The business world has cause for satisfaction that
no worse results followed the big price decline of 1 920
and 1 921 . If the extent and suddenness of that fall had 1
been predicted. The fact that the country has got along
as well as it has in the face of this shock, shows that con-
ditions are essentially sound, and gives reason to expect
a large measure of prosperity in 1 922.

FEDERAL MEAT INSPECTION
PROTECTS EVERY CONSUMER
Every day as the millions of con
sumers over the country sit down to
their breakfast, dinner, or supper they
receive' a direct benefit from the work
of the large force of Government in
spectors who see to it that all the
meat products leave the packing
plants without any taint of disease
clinging to them. These inspectors are
on duty in 839 packing and meat-preparing
plants, and perform a service
that in the aggregate is enormous,
the total number of animals examined
during the last year, both before and
after slaughter, totaling more than 62,
000,000. This was 4.7 per cent less
than the preceding year, but 5.6 per
cent more than the average for the 14
years since the work of Foderal meat
inspectron of the United States De
partment of Agriculture was etarted.
The total number of animals or car
casses condemned as unfit for food
was 191,533 and the number of parts
of carcasses 671,504. In addition the
carcasses of 62,836 animals found dead
or dying were disposed of in other
ways than for food. A list of 50 di
seases and conditions from actinomy
cosis to tuberculosis were responsible
for these big losses. Tuberculosis

TRIPE LYONNAISE. .
Cut up half a pound of cold boiled
tripe into neat squares. Put two ounces
of butter and a tablespoonful of chop
ped onion in a frying pan, fry to a
delicate brown; add to the tripe a
teaspoonful of chopped parsley and a
little strong vinegar, salt and cayenne;
stir the pan to prevent burning. Cover
the bottom of a platter with tomato

serve.
TO CLARIFY BE1SF DRIPPINGS
Drippings accumulated from differ
ent cooked meats of beef or veal can
be clarified by putting it into a basin
and slicing into It a raw potato, allow
ing it to boil long enough for the po- (
tato to brown, which causes all impur-'
ities to disappear. Remove from the
fire, and when cool drain it off from ,
the sediment that settles at the bot
torn. Turn it into basins or small jars
and set it in a cool place for future
use. When mixed with an equal .
amount of butter it answers the same j
purpose as clear butter for frying and
basting any meats except game and
poultry. j
Mutton drippings impart an unpleas-1
ant flavor to anything cooked outside
of its kind.

of 64,830 swine, 427,465 parts of hog
carcasses, 33,328 cattle, and 51,182
parts of cattle carcesses. Hog cholera
and pneumonia were responsible for a
larg number of swine condemntions,
and the later also caused the loss for
food of a lot of beef. Pneumonia seems
also to be one of the worst enemies of
sheep that are shipped to market. In
numbers of carcasses and parts con

come next, then sheep, calves, and
goats in the order named . In addition
to the above inspections, all meats and

While the Federal meat Inspectors
are looking out for diseased animals
in the pens and on the killing floors
at the big central markets, other de
partment men are exerting them
selves to find ways and means for re
ducing the loss from disease, and from
year to year the toll becomes less.
Some day in the future we may expect
to find some of the worst of these
pleagues wiped off the list, and that
will mean more food for an increasing
population.

From Oregon City to the
Mysterious East
By E. E,
KOBE, Japan, Dec. 24. (Special
Correspondence). Nineteen hours out
of Yokohama we pass quarantine at
Kobe, one of the principal industrial
centers of Nippon, and a near neigh
bor to Okasa, where manufacturing
thrives. . It is nearly dark when we
go ashore, but two hours before din
ner is used to do some last minute
shopping. This is our first experience
in a rickshaw, and we trundle off the
long pier and up Main street, stopping
here and ther. Finally, we conclude
to walk. The little brown fellows jog
along patienUy. My driver halts
suddenly, explaining that he "needs
more wind in his wheel." He means
one of his tires is deflated. There
are no "free air" signs about, but a
bicycle pump does the business.
XMAS CHEER SPREAD
After dinner the children enjoy a
Christmas tree in the social hall. It
is all there, colored electric lights,
tinsel and everything. Later they
hang up stockings from a towel rack
and go to bed. Madame declines an
invitation to a party, but I join the
captain and the purser and we drive
swiftly to the residential district and
are hospitably received by the Amer
ican colony gathered there. Six boys
from home have a house, dubbed
"Stagger Inn." Were it not for the
native construction of the house, it
would be easy to imagine ourselves at
home. I meet Mr. and Mrs. Hayes.
The former is interested in the mill
ing business in the Orient and knows
Joe Ganong like a brother. He wants
to know about Dr. and Mrs. Hugh 1
Mount, who are his friends. This is j
going to be some party, I find. About j
2 a. m., I ride back to the ship and
go to bed. Next morning I learn that

LEAVE FOR SHANGHAI
Christmas morning. We leave at
noon for Shanghai, so we take rick
shaws and go about the city for an
hour, buy postal cards and absorb a
little atmosphere of Kobe. Many
members of the colony come down to
wave us good-by from the dock. We
pick up five cabin passengers here
for Chinese ports and are on our way,
with 48 hours at sea ahead of us. Dur
ing the afternoon we glide by the
islands along the Inland sea. We are
headed south in the bright sunshine
on an even keel.
All of the Brodie family are vac
cinated today. Smallpox is reported
in Shanghai, and Manila has hoisted
the quarantine flag against that port.
This means that unless we are vac
cinated we shall stay on board at
Shanghai, which is not pleasing. So
all of the passengers are scratched,
hoping fervently that it will not take.
Christmas dinner is very elaborate,
and at the finish in comes a plum
pudding shooting flames. Such fuel
is easily obtainable in this longitude.
SHANGHAI, China, Dec. 29.
(Special Correspondence.) Two days
and two nights in the Paris of the
East Shanghai.
An Asiatic city with hordes of cool
ies about the streets beggars, ped
dlars, tumblers, vendors of everything
under the sun, motors, dimunitive car
riages, rickshaws, the Bund, the famos
Nanking Road, along Bubbling Well,
a mass of color and hurrying humani
ty, carrying a population of more than
a million.
We arirved Tuesday noon, steaming
majestically up the two rivers to the
China Merchants Central wharf. For
miles we were surrounded with yell
ing Chinese in junks and smaller crafe,
long poles with basket nets at one
end, eager for such refuse as the ship
might disgorge. The dignity or Amer
ican ports fades, the din and clamor
is not to be found in our harbors.
There is a fascination about it all, dif
ficult to describe, but enchanting to
see and hear.
SHANGHAI CLUB VISITED
As is usual in the Orient everybody
strolls into the leading hotel during
the afternoon, for tea and for 57 kinds
of refreshment. In Shanghai it is the
Astor House, with a comfortable
lounge, the inevitable tea dansant.
For the men there is the Shanghai
club, a note-worthy institution, where
I had tea with the American Consul
General. Later we walked over to the
American club, where the latest game,
Mah-jongg, has seized the popular
fancy. It has even more followers
than has the Million dollar cocktail
or the McCarty.
The Consul-General entertained us
at tiffin and placed a touring car at
our disposal. We were driven about
the international city, through the
French concession and around the na
tive quarter, where hundreds of
graves are scattered about Small
boys, shouting "foreign devils" follow
the car, but the Chinese chaffeur is
without nerves he takes no notice.
Madame is attracted to the silk shops
which are famous.
LEAVE FOR HONG KONG
On the day our departure, sailing
at noon, we are again taken for a
drive. Shanghai bears some resemb
lence to New York, in that shops are
grouped as to the character of their
wares. My watch crystal is broken.
The first shop I enter does not have
the size. No matter, the one next
door fixes me up for 50 cents Mex.
We visit a greenhouse and find some
flowers for our charming hostess, wife
of the Consul-General, drive back to
