The tower buildings of New York, which to the layman would seem the points of greatest danger in an earth- quake, are held by the experts to be the safest. It has been found in earthquakes of the past that where olid and squat buildings have been ken to pleces, tall chimneys near- have been left intact. The taller ictures seem to possess the ability > absorb the lateral movement of the ivunh without serious damage. Expert Visiting Here. Washington is being visited just now by Dr. Thomas Augustus Jaggar, jr., probably the most eminent vol- canologist of the world, who malkes his home at the volcano house in Hawall. the Government observatory in the He has visited all of the ke centers of the past quar- a century and has hurried his impatient feet to evers anic erup- tion of moment. He has studled in | Harvard, Munich and Heidelberg, has ! taught geology in Ilarvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technol- 2 has been assoclated with the zeologieal survey and established in { Hawall 2 volcano experiment station. | In short. Dr. Jaggar is considered just about the last word in volcanic and earthquake lore. Dr. Ja r believes the time is not far distant when earthquakes can be predicted with virtually the same pre- cision that astronomers can tell of the coming of comet. That is why he is a supporter of the geological school of thought which believes in the study of living processes of today rather than in the fossil records of the past. The present earth crust should be trought under innumerable nl-ier\n- ons so that new rock may in its relation to time. Astronomers | measuring the brief flight of a comet can calculate when it will reappear. Dr. Jaggar believes that by watching the eruptions and other livi zl» be forecast with more than a reason able degree of precision. Palisades Are Volcanic. Speaking of the Atlantic coastal re- in New as the of 1755 and 1797 Boston, as well tremors ©f 1888, Boston was a severe one. Just when the cycle will bring another shake in this section he could not say, but there is continental rock running north and south along the coast, which is considered fallow ground for tremors. This rock is known to geolo- gists as the Newark formation. The Palisades of the Hudson, famed for their beauty, are of volcanic origin. —— Creeron 614 12th St. N. W. Between F and G Sts.

The Board of Education, after pro- tracted debate on the part of the members present and Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent, yesterday afternoon voted approval of the ef- forts of Park View citizens to obtain an appropriation in the deficlency bill for an eight-room addition to the Park View School. The vote was three to two. It wus made plain that in voting the approval the board would take no active part in aiding the citizens. Charles I. Carusi champloned the cause of tha Park View residents. Mrs. W. T. Bannerman, chairman of the education committes of the Park View Citizens' Assoclation, was pres- ent, but did not maké a personal ap- peal. Mr. Carusi read a letter from Representative Funk, who pointed out that a former appropriation of $154,000 for the Park View addition had been voted by Congress, but turned back because the residents would not agree to a third story. Unusual Aspects of Case. After Dr. Ballou had made a state- ment, in which he declared he be- lieved the board would be taking an unwise step in voting approval to the Park -View project, inasmuch as he So are the famous East Rock at New Haven, the Hanging Hills in Lonnecti- cut and rocks In southeastérn Penn- vania. ‘The Hudson River runs in what is known as a fault line, and that is what makes it so straight. Dr. Jaggar called attention to the mysterious,sounds in the Connecticut r valley known as tho Moodus Noises, Moodus being the ancient name of what is now East Hadley, Conn. The reason that the coastal re- gions of the United States are subject to earthquakes is that there is no con- tinental rock running East and West. The shocks are felt, therefore, in a a north and south line. Favors “Tying” Walls. Dr. Jaggar feels that New York and other cities could be made virtually fous shake damage by a of the walls of the sky- It on steel frames. In most mains.

It is said that approximately 25 teachers are affected and will receive in the neighborhood of $10,000 back pay. While Mr. Carusl backed up the decislon of the controller general in this instance, he gave notice that he would not do so again and that here- after teachers desiring redress from rulings of th- roard must take their cases to the supreme Court of the District. Claims Law Misinterpreted. “I feel," Mr. Carusi said, “that the controller general has not interpreted the law correctly in this case. His function is purely a negative one and he has no right to rule that increases should be allowed.” Dr. Ballou gave notice that at the meeting of the board next Thursday, the reorganization meeting of the body, he likely will recommend that the Toner School, Twenty-fourth and F streets, be transferred from the white to the colored division. He pointed out that the enrollment in the Toner, Weightman and Grant Schools Is steadily decreasing, while the en- roliment in the colored schools of this neighborhood is increasing. and that it is not fair to let the colored schools be overcrowded while the white schools have vacant rooms. Dr. F. 1. A. Bennett gave notice that at the Thursday meeting he, as chairman of the rules committee, will propose an amendment to the rule provided for committees by the addi- tion of a provision for the committee of the whole. Informing the board of the resigna- tion of Mrs. Cecil Norton Broy, di- rector of the Community Center De- partment, Dr. Ballou paid her the fol- Why Worry Where to Go?
