Science Writer) WASHINGTON, D. C,, Oct. 21.— Uncle Sam is planning to hook up | a sort of “speedometer” to sbme of | his earthquakes in an effort to| learn just how they shake down | buildings. The hundreds of persons who | died in the Managua earthquakci by the quake itself, | of course, but by buildings that collapsed upon them or in fires | started by the collapse of build- | ings. | Damage from earthquakes in cit- ies may be greatly reduced if the| government’s studies succeed. By learning just how earthquake fore- | es operate engineers hope to be| able to design buildings that will| resist them. The earthquake “speedometer” will be a specially designed instru- | ment called an accelerometer. It | is expected to measure the rate at| speeded up at the time of an earth-| quake. | This will reveal how earthquakes exert strain on buildings and may | help engineers design structures| that can resist the strain without | adding too much to the expense of | construction. Accelerometers will be placed at| points where earthquakes are be- lieved most likely to occur. Captain Nicholas H. Heck of the Coast and Geodetic survey is in Califor- nia arranging to place some of the| instruments there. | Earthquakes wreck some build- ings by making them “snap the whip.” An earthquake may swing the ground northward, carrying a building with it. The northward g is tr to the bottom of the building than the top, seismologists say. The top | of the building is still swinging to ward the north' when the bottom of the building has started to swing back toward the south. These oposite forces may strain the building so much that it col- just as a speeding auto- mobile skids or overturns when the brakes are applied to suddenly. The more rigidly a building is con- structed the less danger there is of collapse, it is believed. The acceierometers will work much like seismographs, the deli- cate machines that register carth- quakes at a distance. Seismographs are so delicate, however, that near- by earthquakes disrupt their mech- anism before they can register the quake movements. meters will be strong enough to register movements of quakes at the points where they occur. Essentially a seismograph con- sists of a large suspended weight attached to which is a mirror that reflects a beam of light on a re- strip of photographic pa- per. During an earthquake the weight tends to stand still, while the ground moves under it, moving the strip of paper from side to side under the spot of light. The wavy lines registered on the paper shows the severity of the quake. The accelerometer will work on a similar principle. It will go into action automatically when an earthquake centers in different | The accelero- | parts of the United States “map” the action of quakes when they take place.

INTANGIBLES TAX TO BE REFUNDED SALEM, Ore., Oct. 21.—The state of Oregon is faced with the prob- lem of refunding $894,000 in taxes plus interest, collected under the 1929 intangible tax, following refus- al of the United States Supreme Court to take jurisdiction over Oregon’s intangible tax suit. The contention of the plaintiffs in the suit, that the tax caused un- reasonable discrimination between individuals and carporations, was upheld by the Ofegon Supreme Court in an opinion which declared the act unconstitutional. The state appealed to the United States Su- and strength the new copper alloy | could not be evolved for hardening reme Court.
