EAR QUAKES
Southern Californians Suffer
"Terrible Fright."
PORTLAND WOMAN WRITES
Major Snjdcr Appeals to People to
Keep Quiet About Temblors,
feajs Report.
With people Bleeping out of doors,
fearing earthquakes It is only rlht
that everyone should know "the ter
rible fright" that residents of Los
Angeles endured during the recent
earthquakes, according to a former
Portland woman who has written to
a friend here. She says the mayor
of Los Angeles nuked the public not
to write about the temblor, but she
believes people should be warned.
In her letter, which she began
July 21, Fhe says:
"I have had some thrills in this
earthquake that I hope I shall never
have to experience again, and last
Friday we had three in one day and
they are just like explosions. I am
not exaggerating but when the last
one came (we had one at 10:15 A. M-,
another at 1:10 and one at 1:30) it
almost paralyzed me with fright.
Keally, I thought I would die on the
spot, and it left me, as well as others,
so nervous for about a week that at
the slightest sound we would jump
or be terribly frightened.
Vfrwd on Karthqoake.
Believe me. 1 can tell anyo.ii I1
they want to know about earth
quakes, and the company I am with
has offices in one of the best build
ings in Los Angeles, and 1 thought
the whole thing was caving in toward
the center. It is a large office block
and shook like a toy rattler."
She completed her letter July 26
and at that time wrote:
"We have had a few more 'quakes
Fince 1 started this letter, and this
A. M. at 4:15. Los Angeles had a 'hum
dinger.' We felt it at our home in
the suburbs and were awakened by
it, as all the windows rattled and in
Lob Angeles they said it was like
' a cannon exploding. You haven't any
idea the terrible noise these quakes
make, roaring and rumbling just like
distant thunder, then coming nearer.
it roars and ends with a sharp crack,
and shakes everything for miles
around.
"I am sorry to have to say all this,
because we were so pleased with our
move here, because it is so lovely and
one can live out" of doors so much
and the'fiowers and other sights are
so attractive, but it spoils ail the
beauty here for me and mine by these
horrible earthquakes.
Angeleann Badly frightened,
"Those having large and small in
terests here laugh it away, but just
the same they don't like it either,
and Los Angeles and vicinity has
had a pretty bad fright for the past
tiix weeks.
"Many tourists rushed away again
and are trying to get out as fast as
they can. The merchants and resi
dents feel badly about it and the
mayor has asked the gcinral public
not to write to their friends and
relatives about it, but I say it is right
to let others know, and 1 will tell
my friends so that they may be
spared the terrible fright that we
endured.
"I will tell you this, if I hadn't had
any one here I would have gone out
on the first train. Now I will give
you a chance to tell about the storm.
"We read about it and the natives here

to Portland.'
Yes, 1 said, a Portland storm any
day to Los Angeles earthquakes.

rious pest and caused much annoy
ance. Kear is expressed by officials of the
department of agriculture that the
insect will spread to farming regions
and cause much annoyance.
A much smaller colony, which, how
ever, has increased rapidly, was re
ported from Seattle in 1915. Other
reports of the occurrence of the ear
wig in the United States appear to
have originated from one or two
cases in which isolated specimens
were captured on imported plants.
Officials who have investigated the
earwig situation in Portland are un
able to ascertain if the insect came
to Portland through imported plants
or if, by chance, it came from Seattle.
Investigation reveals that the ear
wig was first noted in Walnut park
three years ago, and that it has in
creased in number each suceeding
year.
It is believed that a concerted fight
against the pest at this time will
completely eradicate the earwig from
Portland, and it is admitted that If
such a fight is not waged at this
time, there is extreme danger that
the pest will invest other sections of
the city and make It almost impos
sible to destroy them.

Life in a war-time prison in Con
stantinople holds no pleasures for
those so unfortunate as to be incar
cerated, according; to Rev. W. S. Nel
son, Presbyterian missionary from
Tripoli. Syria, who is in -the city for
a week or more. Rev. Mr. Nelaon
knows, for he passed three and a half
months there when the 'l'uraa ar
rested him as a spy suspect.
The missionary speaks today at
Mizpah Presbyterian church and will
go on to California next Friday. He
has lived for the past 32 years in
Syria, being: stationed 50 miles north
of Beirut. With C. A. Dana of Mon
tana, he had been doing relief work
during: the war and was accused of
beuig an allied spy. The two men
were taken to Constantinople and
lodged on the second floor of the jail
there. Down in the basement were
the criminals, and their chains could
be heard clanking: and often the sound
of the bastinado when the men became
fractious.
Many of the prisoners on the sec-
one floor, said lev. Nelson, were
British aviators. Rations were im
possible, as the bread wac gritty and
black and often full of straw. I used
to refuse my share, but later took
the food and passed it to the guards,
who soon became friendly. They were
simple fellows who had no more use
for Turkey than the allies. A soldier
was detailed to bring us cooked food
from the market at our own expense.
This was costly, largely because of
the depreciation in value of Turkish
currency."
Rev. Mr. Nelson was in Constanti
nople when the armistice' was signed
and the fleet came in. "It was queer,"
he said, "to see a conquered people
rejoicing over their humiliation, and
displaying a victorious foreign flag."
'"The people were desperately dis
appointed because America did no.
help Syria; they would have welcomed
this country as a director of its af
fairs. Conditions are now very much
mixed up on account of the uncertain
political outlook, the high cost of
living and the lack of employment.
Syrians do not yet know whether
France, Great Britain or Arabia is
to be their guardian."
Mr, Nelson left Constantinople in
191S and went back to Syria to work
for the Red Cross. He will return to
Syria next December. He is much
enthused over the work of the near
east relief committee and says the
solution of the feeding problem has
largely been reached through Ameri

The work of the committee, he be
lieves, will continue through 10 or 11
years because the orphans must be

William J. Prcndcrgast Jr. Gets
Credit for Pulling Lad From
Water at Milwaukie.
Two lives saved from possible
drowning during the past month is
the record of William J. Prendergast
Jr., 14-year-old son of w. J. Trender
gast, 335 Killl-.igsworth avenue, whose
latest, exploit was the rescue of his
12-year-old sister, Elizabeth, from the
tide at Newport. Or., last Friday.
The first was at a picnic at Milwau
kie July 2, when the lad saved a com
panion from drowning as he was go
ing down for the last time. Owing
to the fact that the rescued boy's
mother was ill at the time nothing
was said of the heroic deed.
At Newport Friday, Billy, with his
mother, small' sister and brother was
waving good-bye to the father, who
was returning to Portland on the
boat, when the small girl slipped from
the dock Into the outrushlng tide.
Without hesitating, Billy, clothes
and all, dived in after her and after
strenuous struggle with the swift-
running tide brought her to the dock
piling, where helping hands brought
them to safety.
The bDV, whose hobby is Boy Scout
work, has made quite a study of res
cue work and is at home in the water.
After pulling hi companion from the
water at Milwaukie he carefully laid
the boy out and immediately applied
first aid restoration methods.
ASTORIA MILK REDUCED
Material Redaction in Prices to Go
Into Effect Today.
ASTORIA. Or., July 31 (Special.)
A new schedule effective tomorrow
of milk, prices will be a material re
duction from the rates now charged.
Under a new schedule the retail price
for milk by the month will be $3.50
quart, a reduction from 4. 75, while
the price for pints will be ?2.
This step is understood to have
been a plan inaugurated by the dairy
men's league to encourage the greater
use of milk. The dairymen have cut
the price to the dealers and the deal
ers, in turn, have reduced their per
centage of profit thus giving the con
sumers the benerit or the double cut.
How long the new rates will be in
effect is not announced, but they will
probably continue until the winter
feeding of stock begins.

SANITARIUM IS PLANNED
Eastern Man Visits Eugene tr Se-
lect Good Site.
EUGENE, Or., July 31. (Special.)
A large sanitarium for tubercular pa
tients may be located in Eugene in
the near future, according to D. N.
McFarland of Boston, Mass., who has
been in Eugene for a few days and
is reported to have secured an option
on the Braes, a large tract of land
in the hills southwest of the city. The
owners of the tract neither confirm
nor deny the report of the option.
Mr. McFarland says that a group
of philanthropists in the east sent
him to Oregon to select a site for a
sanitarium, this state being chosen
owing to its low death rate.
It is said the government has al
ready promised its support to the
enterprise by sending 2000 tubercular
soldiers for treatment when the sani
tarium is built.
Mr. Evans, to whom the national
bank charter has been granted, prob
ably will be cashier of the new insti
tution, but it will not be made public
for a few weeks who the other officers
will be.
Sherwood already has one bank, of
which institution Mr. Evans at one
time was cashier. He sold out his
interests four years ago and moved to
Portland, where he engaged in the
insurance business. He established
the Tigard bank in 1919.
"There has been a demand here for
a national bank," said Mr. Evans in
telling of his plans. -"This section of
the valley has grown so rapidly that
a national bank is a necessity. Some
of the most prominent business men
of this section will be officers and
directors of the new institution. Sher
wood is one of the progressive little
towns of the state and does a big
ousiness in onions, potatoes and other
necessities of life during the year."

IT is astonishing how much sickness
and disease come from decayed
teeth and diseased gums 1 Competent
medical authorities assert that a ma
jority of human diseases can be
traced directly or indirectly to mouth
infection. It is a general practice of
physicians nowadays to send their
patients to an experienced dentist to
see if the teeth are in bad shape.
Good teeth are necessary to good
health, but you cannot have good
teeth unless you occasionally visit a
good dentist and have them cared
for. Practically nobody's teeth are so perfect that they do
not need professional attention now and then.
You are invited to have your teeth examined free by
Registered Dentists using the E. R. Parker System. It
ought to be worth a good deal to you to get the advice of
these experienced men. If you are not in good health,
the trouble may all come from your teeth, and you should
lose no time in finding it out.
