It was the first earthquake in the history of Kansas. And it wasn't even recorded, because the seismograph at the Univer sity of Kansas was out of paper. The explanation for the earth quake was that the vast under ground Nemha mountain range, extending from Nebraska to Oklahoma, shifted itself four inches from one end to the oth er, generating the earth tremors. Area Got Off Easy Actually the Midwest and Southwest got off easy as a re sult, said the Rev. Joseph Dow ney, seismologist at Regis col lege at Denver, Colo. He estimated that the epicen ter of the quake probably was north of Oklahoma City. It was a "seven intensity" earthquake, Downey said, violent enough to have done serious damage if its epicenter had been in a city. The only casualty reported was a Tulsa, Okla., woman who was hurt when plaster fell on her head as the shocks cor menced with a "rumble like thunder."

YouTl both like the hushed and restful silence of this superbly able traveler. bu11 like the harmonious beauty of its interior, and the deep and luxurious softness of its seats.
