SR WARNS CALIFORNIA OF MORE QUAKES | Prof. Jaggar, Seismic Expert, Sees Danger as Cities Grow in Size, (This is the second of a series of four articles on the volcano and carthquake researches of Prof. Thomas 4 sgar of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.) By CARROLIL BINDER, Correspoudence of The Star and the Chicago Daily News KILAUEA CRATER, rty-six earthquak lumities in the last 23 years have acted an annual toll of 30,000 lives and vearly property damages averag- ing half a billion dollars. Were one to reckon the havoc wrought by ty- phoons, flood: tidal waves having thelr ori, these violent earth disturbances figures for loss of dam: would be nd volc in the kes nic eruptions Mictions which the , these sta-' hty force: 50 100 miles tom of the earth and s those at Tokio nd half a bil or at and San fon of 500. y are yet to be staged by Mother Barth Cities Increase Menace. stead of diminishing In serious these carth movements work more and more havoc upon the race and upon property. Before man de cided to build large cities with tower- narrow streets and fire risks in earthquake lands, slent shift in the inner regions no great calamity in many Instances. It was a relatively simple matter to flee from the hut when the earth began to tremble and few were crushed by toppling structures. Few lands are exempt from earth- quakes and volcanic action, and the United States is not ameng these fortunate areas. 'Six of the eleven great disasters since 1900 were in American _territory, two were in Italian and three in Japanese. Vulcan struck with amazing rapidity and force In widely scattered regions. As civilizatlon reaches out its tentacles it reduces more and more the area where earthquakes may occur apart from mankind and thus does the earthquake toll Increase. The sea bottom has witnessed mighty convulsions among its mountalns and valleys which have been per- ceptible only to the denizens of the deep. Only sea birds and seals have been injured by the colossal earth- quakes, landslides, floods and volcanic outpourings which have taken place in Alaska, Kamchatka, -Antartica, Siberia and Patagonia. When man goes hunting for sealskins, gold or other treasure In those lands the earth begins to exact its toll. When hundreds of thousands or miilions of men congregate in Toklo, San Fran- cisco, Messina and other places with cherous habits, the casualties se appallingly. s the world is more and more closely knit together, Americans feel a disaster in Tokio almost as keenly as though it were within thelr own borders. But there is more than such a broad humanitarian base for American interests in the nature of these earth disturbances and i to resist them. Time for New Quake. Prof. Jaggar points out that in 1663, 1776, 1811, 1886 and 1906 great dis- turbances occurred in the St. Law- rence, the Mississippi, Boston Bay, the Carolina coast and the California coast. The average interval for these widely separated manifestations was 50 years. Writing in Scribner's last year, he said that “since 1898 we have had eight tremendous earthquak in Al , Californifa, Guatemala, Mexico, Costa Rica, Jamaica and Porto Rico, averaging four and a half years apart for the 26 years. It is about time for eastern America to demand seismic toll of life and property a n, for these twentieth century places hither- st and south. Chicago territory, Michigan and other sections of the Great Lakes territory seem to Prof. Jaggar to be resting on pretty solid earth, and in 1 danger than some other regions of the United States. The under- ground heat is apparently much less than that in California, but the de- gree of seismicity, or “earthquaki- nes: of the Chicago area can be de- termined only after extended investi gation and observation. The Pacific ( st area remains in the forefront of the earthquake re- gions. "Any one of the Pacific Coast citfes may get another big earth- quake,” says Prof. Jaggar. “After nine months of earthquakes in the Carolinas, Virginia, Ohio, New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Que- bee, Montana and California, it be- hoo those coast cities which have not yet experienced quakes to pre. pare for vielent disturbances. Those cities, such as San Francisco and Santa Barbara, which have had earthquakes are the least in need of precaution. The danger is far greater in such communities as Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles and ether cities which have not yet had disturbances.” (Copyright. 1925, by Chicago Daily News Co.)

Mary's River near the monument marking the landing place of Lord Calvert, Richard Pembroke, 15 years old, discovered a bed of fossllized sea worms, probably 25,000 years old, This~ indicates, according to Dr. Francis Child Nieholas, dean of the Maryland Academy of Sclences, that during a comparatively recent geologi- cal era southern Maryland was visited by an internal upheaval which nar- rowed Chesapeake Bay to its present confines, “The fossils,” sald Dr. Nicholas, “are located among the sands and clay of the miocene formations, as_indicated on the geological map of Maryland, and indicate that recently the embay- ments of the Chesspeake were much more extensive, and that not only sen- dimentation but also a period of ele- vation from interior pressure occured in Maryland.

Hays, director general of the Association of Motion Picture Pro- ducers and_Distributors, declared on his semi-annual trip to the Hollywood film plants. “The press books for the coming re- leases of pictures contain only three objectionable titles,” Mr. Hays stated. “The open-door policy of the pro- ducers and distributors has met with gratifying response all over the coun- try in the shape of letters of sugges- tion as to the improvement of motion pictures, Further suggestions from the public are solicited.” He concluded by praising the “sen- sible business administration” of the mation pieture industry at the present time, and predicted one of the most successful years in recent film history.

Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, August 15.—An : ator and two companions were hurt, one serlously, and thousands of bath- ers narrowly escaped Injury when an afrplane, disabled 808 feet above the Coney Island beach at 7 o'clock to- night, plunged, falling, thanks to the pilot’s dexterity, in the water at the edge of the bathing throng. The plane, with another, had just arrived from Curtiss Field and had hoemed back and forth a time or two above the upturned faces of bathers, the hum of the motors sending shiv- ers through those who watched. Sud- denly a gust of smoke escaped from the first plane. Something was seen to drop from the machine. The plane dipped and the crowd, seeing it com- ing swiftly down toward them like a hawk after chickens, scampered shrieking from the water and the beach. Reinhold Esslinger, 22, Hicksville, Long Island, an employe of the Cur- tiss Exhibition Co., was the aviator. Thomas Darling, 30, a photographer, and Jack Hickey, 21, a reporter, were the passengers People saw the propeller, then the landing gear fall. The plane kept veering oceanward as it approached the water. Then it plunged into the water 200 feet off shore and disap- peared from sight. Presently its wings floated. The three crippled men, grasping the sides of the cock- pit, put up their heads. Policemen rescued the men. An ambulance surgeon said Darling had suffered concussion of the brain and a possible fracture of the skull Esslinger was badly bruised on the abdomen. Hickey was hadly shaken up. The companion plane followed the first plane earthward, then seeing rescue was in progress, sailed away toward Curtiss Pleld. TAHITI CAUSED BOTHER BY FRANC FLUCTUATIONS Local Currency Goes on' Sympa- thetic Strike Every Time Value Goes Down. Correspondence of the Assoclated Press. PAPEETE, Tahiti, July 12.—The ingtability of the French franc has revived talk in Tahit! of establishing a local unit of value independent of the fluctuations of the franc. Opin- ion is expressed that as Tahiti is so remote from France, and is in the position of having a constant credit trade balance, the financial dificulties of the home country should not be allowed to unsettle values and dis- turb business in this colony. As a matter of fact, the money used in the colony is a local paper cyrrency issued by the Tahitl branch of the Bangue d’'Indo-Chine, but it fluctuates in sympathy with the franc. A settled form of money is the only thing necessary to usher in a period of great prosperity to the island. Both the vanilla and copra ylelds are increasing and are commanding good prices.
