WOMAN'S VICTORY PLEASES COOLIDGE Election of Mrs. J. J. Rogers to House Reflects G. 0. P. Strength. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. SWAMPSCOTT, Mass., July 2.— President Coolidge was very much pleased by the outcome of the speclal election in which Mrs. John Jacob gers was elected to succeed her late husband as Representative in Congress from the fifth Massachusetts district. No Democratic claim can be made that the President’s strength in his home State is waning or that there 18 u recklessness in the body politic which bodes ill for the Republican hold on Congress. It was a straight-out Republican victory, even though the vote cast was relatively small. Proportionately, however, Mrs. Rogers won by a larger vote than her husband ever did. Vote Sentimental. To a large extent the vote was sen- timental. It usually has turned out that way, irrespective of party,in the few cases in which a widow has suc- ceeded her husband to public_ office. But Mrs. Rogers made a good cam- paign. She didn't forget, for instance, to be photographed with the President on his arrival in Salem last week, and she has handled the issues of the cam- paigr—the tariff was paramount— with the skill of an experienced poli- ticlan. It is significant that conservative New England sent a woman to Con- gress at all, although this was much more noteworthy of comment when Mrs. Rogers won the Republican nomination. Massachusetts was not one of the States that clamored for woman suffrage; in fact on every occasion when a Vvote was taken near- ly every city in the State turned it down. But times have changed, and the precedent set up in other States has robbed the situation of its novelt Women have held public office wi out detriment to masculine intere: and Massachusetts is quite willing to take & chance on the level head of Mrs. John Jacob Rogers. ‘The Democratic nominee, of course, had something to do with Mrs. Rogers’ overwhelming victory. He was Eu- gene N. Foss, at one time in Congress himself, and also Governor of Masa- chusetts. Considered for Cabinet. President Wilson thought so much of him as to consider Mr. Foss a pos- sible member of his cabinet In 1913. It was the tariff viewpoint of Gov. Foss that brought him to Mr. Wil son’s attention. But a tariff reduc- tionist in New England is about as popular as a militarist in Kansas. And, besides, the recent expressions from Senator Butler and President Coolidge have solidified sentiment on the tariff in this section, so that the mere suggestion of tinkering with the tariff is enough to rally the Repub- licans to their traditional standard. The district itself is normally Re- publican, so political inferences are hard to draw from the result ‘There is joy nevertheless in the Coolidge camp that the election is over and from now on Senator Butler and his lieutenants in the Republican na- tlonal committee will give their atten- tion to the situation in Wisconsin and North Dakota.

BY DR. BAILEY WILLIS, President of the Seismological Society of America and Professor Emeritus of Geology, Leland Stanford University. (Prof. Willls, at the time of the earthquake. w: ng in the suburbs of Santa Barbara, where he was engaced in geological research. This is therefurs a first-person story by the man who is rated as America's foremost seismologist.) SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Jul The Santa Barbara earthquake a movement on a fault that runs along the Santa Ynez Range of moun- tains and passes through the Sheffleld reservoir. which held the city’s reserve wa- ter supply. The general direction of the movement of the earth along this fault was apparently south to north, as shown by the scar made by the trall of the cannon mounted on the platform near the post of fice bullding. This showed that it moved sixteen inches south. The DR. WILLIS. chimneys which were demolished on many houses otherwise uninjured were all thrown in all directions, ac- cording to the mechanical conditions surrounding them. In some cases they remained standing, although twisted as much as 30 degrees at the line of fracture. An inspection of the damage in Santa Barbara shows that the lessons of the San Francisco and Tokio earth- quakes could be applied here. I drove through the city within an hour after the shock and noted the buildings of various kinds—wood, frame, brick, re- inforced concrete, etc. Those that re- mained undamaged were well con- structed. Badly designed reinforced concrete failed, as shown by the dis- astrous collapse of the San Marcos office building, an edifice of four ries, in which one corner gave w Brick veneers which were ot tied to the frame fell out, as in the case of the California Hotel, where the floors remain standing, although stripped of walls on three sides. In general good design and honest workmanship stood, while incompetency and bad work- manship were exposed in all their miserabl s nakedness. Quake Not Unexpected. The earthquake was not unexpect- ed among selsmologists. During the last seven years we have had the San Jacinto, Inglewood, Elinore and San Bernardino shocks, each one result- ing from movement on one of the four great earthquake faults of south- ern California. The system of faults, which outlines the San Gabriel range, extends west through the Santa Paula_Valley and skirts the Santa Ynez Range, had not up to this time shown any evidence of disturbance. It was well known, nevertheless, that a strong pressure exerted against the mountain range from the south has caused it to move gradually, so that Gaviota Peak, a trlangulation point of the United States Coast and Geo- detic Survey, has been pushed north- ward 24 feet in 30 years.

To a certain extent their expecta- tions are now fulfilled, but fortunate- ly the Santa Barbara earthquake is much less severe and much less gen- eral in effect than some seismologists have feared it might be. There is now little reason to anticipate any severe shock in the immediate future. We shall experience the usual crop of after tremors, but they will grad- ually die away as the rocks return to their normal condition of elastic strain. Recording Stations. The expectations of seismologists in regard to the coming of the Santa Barbara shock were of general nature only because we have not yet estab- lished . the recording stations, which if set up throughout the coast region of California would enable us to for- see such occurances.. The Carnegie Institution of Washington is now en- gaged in establishing stations at Pasa- dena, Riverside, La Jolla and other points of southern California, where instriuments designed to record local tremors will be set up. All of the stations will operate in unison under the central control of the principal station at Pasadena and the records which they will yield will enable us to fix the focus of even the slightest tremors within 50 or 60 miles of the stations. As the records are continuous we shall know exactly where the earthquake strain is gather- ing and how it increases or diminishes from day to day or month to month. In the course of time a chain of stations of this character will no doubt be established fram San Diego to the Oregon line. But it will have to be done through the co-operation of the communities interested and will not be accomplished until public opin- ion is educated to an understanding of the advantage of knowing all that we can about earthquakes and the methods of protecting against their effects.
