JAPANESE PROFESSOR
 PREDICTS MORE QUAKES

HONOLULU, T. H., Sept 23 (by Associated Press) Large destructive earthquakes, like lightning, never strike twice in the same place, Doc tor F. Omori of the Tokio Imperial university declared here recently in an address before the Pan-Pacific Scien- tific congress. Dr. Omori is consid- cred the leading volcanologist and seismological authority of Japan.
 The Pacific ocean, according to Dr. Omori, is almost entirely surrounded by an earthquake zone and a great ring of volcanoes. The cause of the earthquakes, he said, lies in the in- stability of the earths crust. Many tremblors, he added, originate beneath the surfaces of the earth, many of them becoming so feeble by the time they reach the surface that only a seismograph records the sensation.
 Oscillations sent out by earthquakes and take three hours and twenty min travel at the rate of two miles a second utes to circle the globe, said the Doc tor.
 Tn conclusion the Tokio professor said he believed the earths volcanoes might become inactive but the earth quake would never stop

NOME EFL,YERS SET THE PACE
 FOR FUTURE

NEW YORK, Sept. 23 (by Associa- ted Press) )-Military and civilian aeronautical experts declare that the completion of the recent trip to Nome by the four army aviators was an epochal in it's military and commercial importance as Bleriot's first flight across the English channel since it opens Alaska to aeronautics.
 Reports state that the Alaskans are determined to bring about regular communication thruogh the air and now look to the government to foster the new project.
 As the result of the flight, it is said, an aerial route has been photographed and charted diagonally across the United States, Canada and Alaska, with tentative supply and air service sites
 The air board states that the follow ing has been accomplished by the flight:
 An effective aerial route to the Northwest corner of the American continent and Asia has been estab- lished. Inaccessible areas in Alaska which have never been mapped have been charted and photographed
 Usefulness of the airplanes as a means of transport, both for mail, pas sengers and freight has been demcn- strated. Necessity of landing fields, and service stations throughout the United States and it's territories has been shown.
 Durability of modern airplanes and motors has been proved and it has been learned that flying is safe, even over territory where transport by railroad, automobile, and wagon is considered extremely dangerous.
 The report of Captain St. Clair Street, who was in command of the expedition, states that the flyers con- sidered the route across the Eastern states, as having few landing fields and not ideal in any instance. The middle west and Canada, he said, as fas as Edmonton, was ideal
 'The expedition sighted innumer- able glaciers" said Captain Street, "and rain, low fog and clouds were prevalent. Yukon and Alaska are ex- tremely rough and partly forested and afford no natural landing places except on river bars, but the route from Wrangell to Nome is ideal for water planes"

SHORTAGE OF COAL IS FELT
 IN PORTUGAL.

LISBON, Sept 22 (by Associated Press).-A coal shortage is being keenly felt in Portugal owing to the prohibition of coal exportation from England and the absence of any good coal producing districts in this coun- try.
 All coal for industries was imported chiefly from Cardiff and Newcastle and since that has ceased and orders placed in the United States have been cancelled, the situation threatens to become serious and people are look ing forward with alarm to the coming winter. Abnormal conditions exist as a result, all restaurants, cafes and all places of amusement must close promptly at midnight and external Examinations are prohibited.
 There is but little coal produced in Portugal, which has been entirely de- pendent on imported coal. For dom- estic purposes charcoal is chiefly used dll OFeI IuG country III small carmen ware stoves specially made for it's use. Now, however, even that has disap- peared as the price of fuel rose to such an extent that the government was obliged to enforce fixed prices. In consequence, although there is plenty of charcoal farmers are not sending it to market, hoping to obtain ever in- creasing prices for wOod
 In the meantime all Portugal is suffering from utter absence of coal and people are obliged to buy wood when it is obtainable. Middleclass and poor people burn sawdust in small iron stoves expressly invented during the war for that purpose and also use impervious boxes lined with straw, that finish cooking the food after it is removed, boiling, from the stove. Many families unable to cook at home are having their meals at the restau- rants.

MIDWIVES RECEIVING
GREATER RECOGNITION

The passing of the midwife ordi-
nance at the meeting of the Board Of
Health Tuesday night will give the
midwives more recognition han they
have ever received before, but will
also insist upon carrying Of the
strict laws in regard to midwifery.
Since 1892, s46 midwives have
been licensed In New Jersey. Very
little cog~nizancs has been taken OF
these women as long as they report
ed the births. Since January 1, 1919,
10000 babies were born in this state
and $4,000 of which were attended
by midwives.
Many foreign born women are ac
customed to midwives and will not
accept other care. They are familiar
with the well trained. supervised
midwives of their homelands. In
America they must, ~perforce, often
accept the services Of unframed. In
employ a midwife not only because
her services are cheaper but she VIII
render services not offered by a doc
tor, sometimes acting as a house
keeper as well as a nurse.
New York City n Newark have
demonstrated that the trained mid
wife does not make such a bad show
inr II she is supervised and taught
to obey the law which forbids her TO
take other than normal cases. The
excellent re suits obtained in the two
cities mentioned have influenced the
State Department of Health to make
provisions for such supervision in
New Jersey.
The purpose of the supervision is
to protect the lives of the 10000
mothers and infants that are yearly
cared for by midwivos in this state.
This is done principally through in
struction in classes and a follow-up
system which brings the supervisors
Of midwifery in contact with the
methods employed by the various
midwives. The cooperation of the
midwives Is usually very cordial as
soon as they realize that The purpose
of supervision is to aid them give
better care to the mothers and ba-
bies.
The Jersey midwives have adopted
his motto: The safe midwife is
clean, trained, careful. She takes
only normal cases. She is supervised
by the State Department of Health.
