> arrived at Big Bear and our cabin 'we were met with the news that j Loe Angeles was on fire, .Long | Beach in ruins and hundreds kill ’ | ed. This was coming over the I radio. I tried to call Esther by iphone but never got thru until 10 ,I a. tn. next morning and she re-! , , ported all O. K. and no property | damage. At any rate the contiii 1 ous radio reports spoiled our fun . and we started back the next ' afternoon. We found everyone O. K. but still nervous. We got in on a good one about three hours after we got back but it did no damage. ■ A quake, certainly gives you a ’ funny feeling and when I feel one coming I feel like talking to it like one would to a fractious horse . with the hit in his mouth and altout to run away. Something like this: “Whoa boy! Take it ’ easy! Steady there! Hold every- ’ thing! Nice girl! Atta boy! Whew!" and by that time it is J over. However in that length of time anything can happen Ratch ’ Blackburn was leaning against the , front of a bank building when the > big shock hit and it shook him to

his knees. The firewall fell out] on the side of building but not a| brick fell in front where Ratch ■ ■was. He said it wasn't his time. | The town of Compton (about twice as big as Decatur) hasn't a i store operating in the business district. Every store ruined. Brothler how it does shake 'em down.! Long Beach is called the cupitol of lowa because there were about 75,000 lowans there. They claim 40,000 of them have gone back to lowa and their cyclones. The quake was on a Friday evening at 6 o’clock. 1 wrote Uncle Mat Sunday afternoon and sent it air-mail Monday and he should have had it Wednesday morning. I thought once of sending a wire that we were all O. K. but it struck me as being rather silly sending a wire every time some little thing happens out here. Furthermore, I knew you were getting the radio news and the percentage killed out of two million people affected waf z rather a small thing. I also took it for granted that you would consider no news as good news and if any of us had been killed you would have known about it. Anyway you ! couldn't get. within two blocks of : any telegraph office and they ■ were not taking wires over the phono. Consequently, we sat here I and shook it out among ourselves. I We aro still having what they call settling shakes but they are very light and do no damage except to keep ones nerves on edge. Dan Beery says he don’t know which is tlie worst, being blown away or shook to pieces. He was >in a chair during the big quake and couldn’t get up to run out. i We have heard a lot of funny experiences and in away 1 guess we were lucky in being out of it. 1 just noticed today that my barbecue stank in the back yard lias

pulled away from the. building | and is leaning toward Fishers. It I still works so 1 guess no damage i done. I wish you could find some reason for making a trip out here this summer. Am getting anxious to see someone from the old home town. In fact it is working on me to the extent that sometime this year I am going to suddenly hop a rattler and come back for a couple of weeks. Would like to

INFLATION MAY brini; test of ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) , sippi and Patman of Texas, are preparing to oppose the change of rules. President Roosevelt is- represented as being against “printing press" money but favoring controlled expansion by issuance of bonds for public works. This, in tile opinion of many members, does not go far enough to raise prices and stimulate purchasing power. Some men like Senator Cotlzens, Repn., Mich , a business man. feel that additional currency must be provided. ’ Advocates of a bond issue say that it could be used to build bridges, hospitals, sewerage systems. and replace slums. Others says this will help but will not go far enough. They point to the fact ' that the debt structure of the na- ' tion was built up on the basis of • a national* earning power of about 185,000,000,000 (B) a year. That ■ was in 1929 and individuals, cor- • porations real estate farms and . dwellings were loaded with as heavy a debt as could be carried i at boom peak levels. 1 Now the national income is less - than half of Ihe 1929 figure. Even ■ assuming a speeding up of business activity, the present level of prices ! would not produce the earnings to • support the boom (Title debt struc- ■ ture.
