was done, she was told, to provide the
proper atmosphere. Miss Hunziken
said later that nothing was needed to
make the surroundings more myster-
ious.
Miss Hunzicker sat through the picture and calmly walked out at the finish to the disappointment of the ambulance driver, he wasn't needed. She received the $5, which is a "bankroll" these days of moratoriums. "It was the day I have ever earned because the showcased it was the spookiest one I have ever seen." Miss Hunzicker said. Who says the women can't "take" it?
The mystery picture began at midnight. For more than an hour she sat through a picture that was full of thrills and chills. The entire production was shown in technicolor and the plot was laid in the Wax Museum located nearby. Because it was a true story, Miss Huncker said, the more horrible, Miss Huncker said.

The Kansas Players will close their present season with a three night run of "Sauce for the Gander" in comedy by Mrs. Ruby Philips Bramwell, winner of the recent play-writing contest held by the Kansas Author's club.

The husband finally decides to re-rel, and finds that the question, "What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander?" is pretty much a lie, for instead of being sauce for this particular gander, he merely gets into a jam.
Phyllis Swarner and George Callahan have the roles of the married couple who gets into difficulties because of the play-writing proclivities of the wife
The entire cast of "Sauce for the Gander" is composed of actors and actresses who have had much experience. Allen Craffon, head of the department of speech, said yesterday.

Our Worries Are Over; There Is Little Chance of Earthquake Here, Says Moore
Commenting on the recent disaster in southern California, Professor Moore explained that California has numerous faults in its geological construction. "Southern California is in what we call a mobile belt," the professor said.
The territory in eastern Kansas and western Missouri has not been free of earth disturbances, but the trenches are well marked. According to information from the Arkansas geological survey covering all earthquakes in the Mississippi Valley region from 1811 to 1831, a number of events have occurred in this region.
That central Kansas is traversed by a faulty geological construction which is likely to result in mild earth tremors, was disclosed by the professor. The faulted construction arises from the fact that a ridge of buried granite mountains run from north to south under this region. These mountains,
"Aside from the serious quake at and around New Madrid, Mo., in 1911, and the Charleston, S. C. quake in 1905, there have been recorded only 130 earth disturbances since 1811." Professor Moore said.
called the Nemah mountains, were discovered by Professor Moore from data gathered from the sinking of oil wells.
"For 200 million years this condition has existed and resulted in the slight shifting of rocks on the earth's surface, and the continuation." "However, the break is so far below ground, that there is small chance that any serious tremor will develop." A common misconception concerning bakees was exploded by the geologist.
"The danger during an earthquake comes from the chance of being struck by falling stones from toppling buildings," the professor said. Out in open country, no matter how violent the tremors there is little danger. The terrible vision many persons have of the earthquake can be heard beneath their feet is practically impossible.
"Huge tidal waves, 15 to 20 feet high have been a terror to seacontant town struck by earthquakes, Professor Moore added. Although, such a wave did not occur in the California disaster, those who were fitted had reason for their uneasiness, as tidal waves are a form of earthquake of earthquakes. In fact the cause of wave is an earthquake under the sea. It is like hitting a pan of water with a hammer. The wave rolls in a wall engulfing the land."

Long Beach, Huntington and Compton Suffer Most Severe Losses
Los Angeles, March 11—UP)—New earth shocks visited disaster-streak Southern California tonight as a dozen towns and cities survived rallies of death and property damage caused by tempests. Almost descecited by its 140,000 people, the harbor city of Long Beach was patrolled by guards while rescue parties searched for the dead. More than 150 earthquakes, starting at 45 p.m. Friday, swept an area of 26,000 acres from Santa Barbara to Tijuana Mex. Hardly an hour passed without a crew already although they grew steadily aloft.
Los Angeles Dead Reach 136
In the Los Angeles metropolitan area that deadliest had reached 150 tonight and fatalities were mounting. Many older people, persons with heart attacks brought on by the shock. The injured exceeded 1,000 and property damage reached 10 million, possibly more.
Compton and Huntington headed the list of major losses. Long Beach sustained the full force of the terrific shock, and the seven severe quakes that followed in quick succession. The initial shock occurred at 5:40 P.M. the hourmaster of the Carnegie Seismological Laboratory at Pasadena told the United Press.
First Shock at 5:40 p. m. Friday
The initial shock in Long Beach was probed: Buildings did not crash to the streets at once, but kept up a swaying motion. As the tremblers kept up, a swaying motion set in which quickly brought down entire structures. Subways and National Guard bread lines were installed in all parts of Beach.
The city of Long Beach, with a population of 140,000, was hardest hit, and the death list grew匆忙 as authorities dug among the ruins of its buildings. Cautious search was necessary, since each new ternur sent debris flying from buildings already twisted by previous jolts.
Officials reported as many as 90 dead in Long Beach, but the moving of bodies from understaking parliars to a building made accurate checking difficult.
