Slides show- ing various types of buildings, both com- ' mercial and residential, were projected as fllustrations of Mr. Brown’s address. Japan's Example Pointed. Following Mr, Brown's conclusion, Al- exander McAdie, chairman of the East- ern section officers and chairman of the morning meeting, sounded the Oriental ~warning for the Western States of the United States. He de- clared that the earthquake which rent San Francisco in 1906 is likely to occur Prompt_servi T ice for out-of-town customers. de 3 R (W’on\, THESE LOW PRICES ARE ALSO EFFECTIVE AT OUR ALEXANDRIA STORE, 727 KING STREET at top enables you to move the SAVINGS Important Values on Popular Drug Needs!

Freeman, one of the out- standing seismologists in construction fields, followed Mr. Brown with a paper on the need of seismological data ior structural engineers. Mr. Freeman de- plored the lack of accurate data on ithe motion of the earth during quakes and the existence in the scientific world of a seismograph capable of measuring earth tremors at the scene of the dis- turbance durng the height of the up- heaval, He announced that he is asking the United States Bureau of Standards to develop a seismograph, less sensitive than the instrument now used, which could be manufactured cheaply, maintained without close supervision and remain in operation throughout an earthquake, even though set up in the center of the disturbed area. Such an instrument, he said, might be constructed to operate through a series of reflectors and light beams and could very easily lack the extreme mag- nifying power of present seismographs. Such instruments, he declared, should be set up in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Boston in - sumicient numbers to ' guarantee a reasonably accurate average measurement during any disturbances which may come in the future. He advocated no less than ten and con- siderably more if possible for each of the California cities, suggesting that they be set up on the upper stories of buildings and in the basements in vari- ous parts of the two communities. ‘The lack of acceleration measure- ment, Mr. Freeman said, is an extreme handicap to practicing structural en- gineers and to students. The vast ma- Jority of engineering text books, he said, fail even 10 mention earthquakes, so that many men are graduated from college without even rudimentary knowledge of the one great force of nature which they have reason to fear most in their work. Quake Dangers Overcome. Despite the terrific power of earth- quakes and the damage to life and limb which they have wrought, Mr. Freeman said it has been proved that earth- quake danger can be overcome, that its force is measurable and that it is not irresistible. This, he said, is fur- ther incentive for the development of measuring and recording instruments now non-existent. The fact that com- paratively large buildings in the very center of earthquake-devastated areas both in this country and in Japan remained standing is adequate testi- mony, he sald, to the possibility of de- —_— [& Nationally Known Remedies Priced at a Savings 60c Californie 15¢ $1.15 Dare's Menihar Papeaio, o 1. 000 $1.50 Eskay's $1.29 Neurophosphates 79¢c s T - Purity Products at Money-Saving Prices! 25¢ Carter's Liule Liver Pills............
