' THE
EARTHQUAKE WRECKS
TOWN IH COLOMBIA
InKabitanta Always at Mercy
' of Mountains.
- Washington, D. C Earthquakes
la the Andes are constantly serving
as reminders that man is at the
mercy of the mountains. ' The town
of Tuquerres, high among the peaks
of southern Colombia, recently was
"reminded" with such a shock that
it Was almost wiped out,
' ."Tuquerres lies on a populous
green plateau which serves as a
'landing 10,000 feet above sea level
on v the rocky staircase of the
Andes," says the National Geogra
phic society.
"Above it, black' peaks' lift per
petually snowy points into the raw
mists, of uninhabitable altitudes. In
the lowlands on either side of Co
lombia's mountain backbone, near
the crest of which Tuquerres is
cradled, jungle settlements steam
in tropical humidity. But Tuquer
res, . only about 90 miles north of
the Equator, is air-cooled by alti
tude, with temperate weather suit
able for grain and grazing. It
serves, in the leisurely way of In
dians in the Andes, as an unhur
ried, small-scale distributing center.
Religious Center.
"The town itself is a rather ex
tensive conglomeration of crudely
built houses; most of the 19,000 in
habitants are satisfied with roofs of
thatch over their heads. Markets
for produce from the rich grain
fields and gardens round about, a
few industrial projects such as the
fine tannery, and transient strings
of laden burros keep Tuquerres
mildly busy. It is also somewhat
of a religious and educational cen
ter, with several church schools and
a convent.
' "In thes precipitous Andes where
roads are so rare that old Spanish
trails are in many places unsur
passed, -Tuquerres is considered
doubly blessed in its location on
two main routes. One good mule
trail passes through from the larger
city of Pasto, forty miles north,
and winds over crag and precipice
to the frontier of Ecuador. The
other trail, down which foodstuffs
are dispatched to the grainless jun
gles of the coastal lowlands, de
scends the Andes westward toward
the Pacific coast.: Sections of both
routes have already been promoted
to the rank' of wagon road with
appropriate rejoicing. Railroads
approach Tuquerres from the north
and from the west, but they are still
far from surmounting the steep
mountain barriers.
"The town's green patch of fertile
plateau is surrounded by a volcanic
tangle of arid mountains, where
towering ridges crisscross in an in
tricate knot before spreading' three
main chains northward to separate
into a rough fleur-de-lis pattern.
Volcanoes may have built the site
of : Tuquerres, showering cinders
and pumice into, a deep gorge until
the valley became a tableland. In
support of this' theory, a casual
glance around the horizon reveals
active volcanoes looming so high
that they, wear their smoke plumes
in white caps of perpetual snow.
Rich Sulphur Deposits.
"Nearest of these mountains of
ice and flre is Azufral, a veritable
sulphur peak. Rich sulphur deposits
on its heights, 'medicinal and hot
springs at its foot attract the local
Indians ' for commerce and cures.
Less beneficent, however, are the
pervasive Wisps of sulphur fumes.

"In the precarious I peace df i its

PERQUIMANS WEEKLY. HERTFORD. N. C, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16,
URGE REMOVAL OF
59,000 FAMILIES
Believe , Drouth Area May Be
Affected for 20 Years.
Washington, D. C Migration of
59,000 families from the drouth
damaged farms of the great plains
was recommended in a population
survey of that area by Dr. C. W.
Thornthwaite, former university of
Oklahoma climatologist.
His study, published by the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, contended
that wind erosion had damaged 65
per cent of the plains region, ex
tending from the Canadian border
into the Texas panhandle.
A long range government pro
gram for. the return of millions of
acres of wheat land to its native
sod, he said, might be the only
means of checking the devastating
dust storms.
Observing that long dry spells
have been frequent in the history of
the plains, Thornthwaite predicted
that "the present drouth might be
prolonged for 20 or more years."
Evidence from tree rings, lake
levels, and other sources was cited
in the survey-to show that a 40 year
drouth began in 1825 and was in
terupted by only occasional wet
years.
The weather experts estimated
that a minimum of 12,610 families
should move out of Montana, the
state in which he reported the
greatest "surplus population." He
urged a migration of 12,200 families
from Texas and 7,360 from North
Dakota.
Heavy removals also were sug
gested for South Dakota, Nebraska,
Kansas, Oklahoma,- Wyoming, and
Colorado.
School census returns indicated,
he said, that 36,000 families have
left the great plains since 1930.
"The ideal situation in the great
plains," he said, "would be a vir
tually complete return to a grazing
economy where pasturing on the
range is supplemented by the rais
ing of feed and forage crops.
"This does not mean a re-establishment
of the great ranches and
the restoration of the cattle kings,
but rather an increase in the size
of farms to a point where cultiva
tion and grazing can both be con
trolled." Washington Statue Is

Philadelphia. George Washing
ton's head was saved. But it took
strenuous action by Giuseppe Don
ate, a prominent sculptor; to res
cue it.
Donato found a group of WPA
workmen busy sandpapering the
two-ton statue of Washington in the
city hall. He became furious, or
dering the men to stop. They did.
Donato tried to summon the art
jury to an emergency meeting.
When that failed he hastened to
Mayor Davis' office. The work was
halted.
Sandpapering is not good for
granite statues. Donato had ex
plained. Appointed by the mayor to
finish the job, he did not know
whether he would use acid or re
sculpturing. The statue, carved in
1869 by J, A. Bailey, was financed
by school children's pennies and for
