New Quetta Arising
On Old Ruins
MILITARY BASE MAY BE REBUILT
Bombay, Oct. 1. QUETTA is arising from the
ruins of the terrible earth- quake of May 31. Confidence is returning to the population, and business activity is racpidly re- viving.
Although the Western Com- mand headquarters have been moved to Karachi, this new activity removes all doubts as to the revival of the civil station.
"House full is the usual notice at the cinema, which has been reopened out of doors and with mal walls... The films help to re- lieve the long strain.
The municipality is building earthquake-proof asbestos struc- tures and is finding accommoda- tion for 40 shops for the sale of food and necessaries. Four hundred shopkeepers have already applied for premises.
Work of salvage may take as long us 12 months. In the last 20 daya Beven roads have been cleared and _33__shops... including the cloth market, have had their contents saved.
Cost £6,000,000
The rebuilding of Quetta, laid waste by the earthquake of May 31, with the loss of 30,000 lives, will probably coat about £6,000,- 000.
This is the estimate given here. But it is emphasised that an accu- rate figure cannot yet be given.
The Reconstruction Committee has now completed its report. It is believed that it recommends the rebuilding of the military base, with earthquake-proof buildings. The extra cost of making the buildings earthquake-proof will be offset by the use of lighter and cheaper materials.
Pending a Government decision on the question of rebuilding the town, a preliminary examination of the quantity of material re-, quired is now being made. It la intended, if the Government ap- proves, to begin work in April.
Further 'Quakes Unlikely In the official report on the dlønster issued by the India Office last month the view was expressed that further earthquakes in the Quetta region were unlikely "for a long time to. come." Experts consider that the earthquake has relieved the accumulated strains in the rocks of the area.
The clearance of the devas- tated city is making rapid pro- gress, and most of the roads are now. free of debris.

Artificial Lungs For 15 Days

Film producers are satisfied that grand opera can be produced in film form, and that the public has been prepared for it by auch plctures as "One Night of Love" and "On Wings of Song." There- fore leading producers have been seeking the film rights of nearly all operas in respect of which the copyright still exists, and money asked for the rights hus doubled and trebled almost over- night.
One popular French opera was for sale recently at £2,000. Now the amount demanded is £7,000. In some cases the price set on film rights has soared as high as £20,000.
"t Pagliacci
So far competition has been. keenest in respect of "I Pagliacci,' which is prized as one of the most valuable of operas in the eyes of film producers,
In this case London has been more enterprising than Hollywood, since the new British company. Capitol Films, has acquired the rights of "Pagliacci," in which Richard Tauber is to be starred.
The price paid for these rights has not been disclosed, but it is belloved to be approximately ̈£18,000

From Adelaide comes the story of another interesting surgical feat. A woman has had all the sympathetic nerves removed from her heart and is in better health than for years past. The surgeon, who reached her heart by operating from the neck. is the same one who removed a bullet from the heart of a man after the slug had passed through the liver.
