FRISCO FIRE BRINGS
THE TRIUMPH OF AUTO
Biz Machines Saved Large Part
of Burning City; Chauf-
feurS Heroes.

The Olds Motor works have received
a very interesting letter from their San
Francisco representatives, In which
they give graphic account of the
terrible calamity.
Their buildings were not materially
damaged by the shocks. and the great
fire which ragged several days was
stopped within 100 feet of their garage.
Every Oldsmobile they had was pressed
into service, and they give the following
account OF the important part taken
by automobiles in the relief work
THE police and Government officials
have taken all our automobiles (old
and ncw) and placed them In the hos
pital and other service, also conhscated
parts, tires gasoline, oil. etc. We are
very glad, however, to be able TO rem
der this service TO aid the suffering
Want to say to you here that without
the use OF automobiles the suffering In
San Francisco would be ten-fold and
the loss probably much greater. Every
available machine has been working
night and day, and the chauffeurs and
owners OF the automobiles have done
some Of the most heroic work of any
class of men who have had anything TO
do with the terrible catastrophe. Many
of the boys have had practically no
sleep since the hour OF the Garth
quake
The magnificent work done by the
autos is further commented on by the
San Francisco Chronicle 1t says;
THAT the automobile played an all
but indispensable part In the saving or

Upheavals of Other Times.

The disaster at San Francisco is diff
ferent from the so-called earthquake"
which once overwhelmed Charleston, S.
c., for example. The Charleston dis
aster was merely q subsistence Of the
earth, due to a great cave beneath
and curiously enough the same wires
which brought the story of san Fran
cisco's disaster brought also news Of
the discovery of the Charleston cave.
But the generally accepted theory of
the ordinary earthquake now is that 1t
is due to no general upheaval of the
earth's crust, but rather TO wave mo-
tion communicated through strata to
the surface above. 1t Is possible that
the earthquake at San Francisco did
not raise the earths crust high enough
to be seen by any observer who might
have been able TO stand. say, a few
hundred feet away on some immune
point,-Boston Advertiser.
