But it was ' Hobson's Choice' with me. There was so much unemploy- ment I was forced to get somewhere. So I am still here weathering the storms of the last two winters, and I can honestly say I have never felt the slightest pain from my old complaints, since I started two years ago to tape liruschen Salts.

Then, slowly withdrawing the letter, she went to the window and flung it open. A tiny breeze was enough to brace her courage and steel her resolve: • She laughed aloud. "Wally do anything rash?

"I'11 pay itim 1l1oe what tete pearls are worth, and that goes for the diamonds, too." Site had brought both, Jinn could post the cheque from the boat, Site arrived at the station ahead of time, despite the storm which now was &lowing in full fury. They would probably have a rough pas- sage. Site didn't care; Heaven knows she'd had calmness enough— and tomorrow she'd be in Paris. She mane upon her trunks, the new ones she had bought and sent oil ahead, Tim's were :tear by. "These your trunks, ma'am?" A Porter was inquiring. "Why—er, yes." Her voice was queer. ' Where was Jim?

A man's worst enemy is often right under his own ltat, Austrian Professor Hopes To Forecast Earthquakes Pecs, Hungary — Professor Martin Hauko, who predicted and placed the Java earthquake, hopes 00 be able to wal'n of quakes in. time to save whole lloputatlotts. The Java earthquake, for example, came on January 21. Professor Hanko ltad+predicted a quake between the 19t11 and 21st in the region of the western extension of the Pacific, probably Japan or the East Indian Archipelago. According to Professor Hanko's calculations, earthquakes should 0c• cur periodically and with an astou- isiting exactitude in the different parts of the world. He has ,estab fished a record of foretelling a good many within a margin of only one or two days. To test the correctness of his eye - tent he worked back to the greatest earthquakes of history and found tltat the historical data coincided with the rksuits of his system of cal- culation. Professor Hanko is sixty-two years old and has been for the beet part of his career professor at tate former Naval :Acadenty of Hungary in Fiume, where he had taught physics and mathematics. Since 1907 11e• has devoted himself M seismologic, oceanographic, mete- orological and navigational studies and is the author of several books 0)1 these subjects.
