DR AGEAR STARTS 1| ALASKABXPEDTON Method of Predicting Quakes| Is Subject of Geographic Society Project. After conferring with officials of the | National Geographic Society, Dr. Thomas A. Jaggar, the scientist, who for a quar- ter of ascentury has rushed to volcanic | eruptions as a fireman responds to an | alarm, has left Washington to lead the , society’s expedition to the Mount Paviof sector of the Alaskan Peninsula and Aleutian Island voleanic chain. President Gilbert Grosvenor and the | research committee of the Geographic Society went over the final plans for the expedition with Dr. Jaggar last week before the latter's departure. By | intensive study of this longest battery of craters in the world it is hoped to devise ways of predicting volcanic erup- tions and earthquake shocks and thus gave millions of dollars’ worth of prop- erty and thousands of lives. ! More Congestion. Dr. Jaggar is not an alarmist. Like | other leading scientists who have de- voted intensive study to these disturb- ances, he believed there are nmo more earthquakes now than there have been in the past, but that more people are living in congested area where these | disturbances occur. | Dr. Jaggar will safl from Bellingham, | Wash.. and the expedition will go| ashore at Squaw Harbor, Unga Island, | which will be the base of this Summer’s | explorations. Opposite Unga Island. on the taper. Inz end of the Alaskan Peninsula, is Mount Pavlof, the “Mount Vesuvius” of the Alaska-Aleutian chain. Southwest of Paviof is the towering Mount Dut- ton peak. piercing the clouds at neariy | 8.000 feet, named only last Summer after being explored by Dr. Jaggar Back of Paviof are the so-called Pin- | facke Mountains, with their snowy sky | line, and :reas abounding in hot springs. | A hot crater also has been reported. But | this region is unmapped. It will be ex- | plored. { Few Americans realize that in the | huge arc of volcanoes between North America’s loftiest peak, Mount McKin- Jey, out to Attu, farthest flung of the Aleutians, lies the greatest volcanic chain, one of the most amazing scenic wonderlands. and the greatest geologi~ cal area of its kind in the world. ; 45 Volcanoes. | There are at least 45 active vol canoes in the chain. Within 600 mile: ©of the Aleutian coast line there are some 150 harbors, unmapped and un-| c This Summer's work will make only | @ beginning of the exploration, and the mapping of interior and coasts, the lat- ter work, perhaps, being the most es- sential of all because, until it is done, no commercial vessel or passenger ship dare navigate in these waters. ‘The expedition also will make observ- ations of the people in the region; the north shore Eskimos and the south shore Aleuts, who, with the Scandina- vian fishermen and trappers, and the employes of American canneries, make up the sparse ation of the island pa‘hway, which once was the great mi- gration route of Russian adventurers, who made their way across bleak Si-| beria and then pushed onward into | North America in quest of new fur ‘worlds to conquer. | P A T “CRUSADE WITH CHRIST.” | | jam—Rotte Karlsruhe—Bremerhaven .

By the Associated Press LINDSAY, Calif, April 9.—Rescued | 2,000 feet high, where darkness had trapped her and her girl companion | Miss Edna May Wilbur, daughter of Secretary of the Navy Curtis D. Wilbur, was _home here today none the worse for her thrilling experience. Miss Wilbur went to the park with a party of friends. She and Miss Ona E. Ring attempted late Saturday to de- scend the snow-covered trail from Glacier Point to the floor of the val- ley. Caught by darkness, they lost the trail and presently found themselves on the narrow ledge, whence they feared to attempt further progress. With a biting mountain wind tugging at their clothing, the girls huddled against the face of the cliff and called for help. Tourists in the valley, 2,000 feet below, heard their cries and noti- fied the forest rangers. Five men reached the girls shortly before midnight, and after strenuous efforts, succeeded in hauling them up to the trail with ropes. Once back on the trail, they were guided down to safety and left for home after resting. Both ums are schoul teachers here.
