QUAKE ‘FREAKS' ARE DESCRIBED TO GEOLOGISTS Tricks Played With Rivers, Lakes Related by IJ. S. Surveyor. P„\i Science Service WASHINGTON, April 29.—Strange tricks that earthquakes play with rivers, lakes and subterranean waters of the earth were described to the American Geophysical Union at its m**etin here recently by Captain N. H. Heck of the U. S. Coast and Deodetic Survey. Earthquakes often cause fountains of water or liquid mud to spurt from the ground. Captain Heck said. They sometimes change the course of subterranean streams, or the quantity of water flowing in them. In the earthquake that occurred in New' York State in 1929, the Attica reservoir filled, although there had been no rain, while in a region not far distant the wells went dry. New Lakes Formed Earthquakes often cause strange behavior by rivers and other bodies of surface water. The famous New Madrid quake in the lower Mississippi valley over a century ago caused the great stream to flow backwards for a time, and the disturbance was followed by the formation of several entirely new' lakes that still are in existence. Earthquakes may dam up streams to form lakes, or they may break down natural dams and release floods or mud flows. Some of the most disastrous effects of recent earthquakes in interior China were due to the jarring loose of masses of watersoaked fine earth, causing terrific landslides. Urges Wave Studies Water, in its turn, has effects on earthquakes. Some of the strangest and to scientists the most puzzling, of earthquake phenomena are the so-called gravity waves of earthquakes, w r aves that travel visibly along the surface at express train speeds, though theey are very much slower at that than the waves that are felt, but are too swift to be seen. These gravity w r aves are much affected in their intensity and velocity by the amount of water held by the soil through w'hich they move. Captain Heck recommended a thorough study of the rate of wave travel through water-soaked earth as a problem promising both theoretical and practical results in the science of earthquakes. SHOES ARE RETURNED TO NEEDY TWIN GIRLS Story in Times Results in Motorist Finding Missing Property. Six-year-old twin daughters of a needy family are happy today with pew shoes which were returned to them after having been lost Thursday. Herman Cox. 313 Hanson avenue, found the shoes on the running board of his automobile, and read in The Times Friday about their loss.

In a letter to The Times, the twins’ mother, who has nine other children, explained the loss. With part of $2 her husband earned cleaning wall paper, she purchased the shoes, but they were returned because the size w r as too large. Twin sons, 10, took them back. On the way home, the boys stopped to try on new' shoes provided for them by the school board, seating themselves on the running board of Cox’s car which was parked in front of a garage he and his brother operate at 718 West Washington street.

LABOR FIGHTS RAILROAD BILL Union Chiefs Fear Economies Proposed by Roosevelt to Cost Many Jobs. BY MARSHALL M’NEIL Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, April 29.-ri-Or-ganized railway labor, backed by thirty or more votes in the senate, is fighting to have President Roosevelt’s railroad bill rewritten when it reached Capitol Hill, if not before. The proposed legislation, submitted to the White House by Secretary of Commerce Daniel C. Roper some days ago, may be sent to congress either today or next week. Its chief purpose is to effect railway economies, by the elimination of wasteful services and practices, consolidations, pooling arrangements and financial reorganizations where necessary. A railway co-ordination is to be appointed to handle these affairs for the government, in co-operation with the carriers. The co-ordinator's orders would be review-able by the interstate commerce commission, and w-ould not be subject to the anti-trust laws. This emergency plan, intended to operate for a year, may be extended by the President if the emergency exists after twelve months. Labor’s opposition, voiced through George M. Harrison, acting chairman of the railway labor executive association, was emphatic. “We see no justification for drastic reductions of essential transportation service in order that unearned interest may be paid on idle capital. “Communities deprived of adequate and competitive rail transportation will be depressed further. Thousands of railway workers will be added to the bread lines. Economic recovery will be retarded by this further deflation of business and labor. “If we have reached the end of railroad competition we have arrived at the necessity for immediate, complete and direct public control.” FARM BILL FACED WITH LONG DELAY Conference Action Necessary, House Leaders Say. Btj United Press WASHINGTON, April 29. —House leaders agreed Friday that the administration farm relief bill, now pending in the senate, must be sent to conference before house action.

His first bite of the season and about to get away because he, Calvert, was yards away. Spring fever was forgotten. Calvert leaped into the creek. The fish ran away with the line. Calvert chased. .
