Predicting Weather
From Earthquakes
nv cLARENCE DUBosE


Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
TOKYO ,CBy Mail to United Press)
The more you learn about earth
ouakes' the less you know about 'em.
For instance, / met u man not
long ago, who told me he had
scheme for using earthquakes as
basis for weather forecasting. Tell
MIN the hour of the earthquake ana
he'll tell you what sort of weather
litll be tomorrow.
Since there is an average of four
EARTHQUAKES a day in Japan-al-
Though most of em are flivvers-and
since there is also an abundance OF
weather hereabouts, it occurred to
me that his idea offered tremendous
possibilities. begged him to tell
me the secret and he consented.
However, he was very careful about
it. He said he would write 1t out
for me, very clearly and precisely
so il would be perfectly lucid and
simple and understandable, He said
he would make it SO plain that even
Il child conld take an. earthquake,
so to speak, and lout-predict the gov
ernment weather bureaus.
He sent me the letter. I've lost a
good deal of sleep over it. The
more l read that letter the more l.
well, anyway, here it is exactly as
the expert sent it to me.i Read 1t
and maybe you'll know weather to
carry an umbrella tomorrow.
Dear Sir-You will please ex-
cuse me for my delay to submit to
your examination the summary Of
my thesis on The Effect of an
Earthquake on the Elements 1t is
as follows:
TRANSLATED in modern timetable.
Both for A. NJ. and p. NJ. s and 4,
rain. 2 and s, drought Cor fine). 10
and 12, wind.
People in olden times were satis-
fled with very rough measures. They
will, however, make no objection to
your prescribing further details as
best suit your pleasure.
What if it quaked at exactly 3,
5, Z, 8 or II, you may ask. To such
questions let it be answered on the
authority of the sesmologica1 chro-
nology. that it has never once pleas
ed the earthquake to shake SO pune
tually in the interests of an easier
calculation. 1t has always been Ell
ther before or after it, so you may
be able to pronounce your forecast
according to the comparative dist
|ance to the prescribed points of time
behind or ahead of it. Consequently
this much has practically sufficed in
spite of theoretical defects. Hoping
this will satisfy you, am, yours
truly. (Signed)."

There may be another wal almost

That's what General Giichi Tanaka,
former Minister of War was quoted as
saving in an interyiey published in the
Nichi Nichi, one OF the foremost
Japanese newspapers.
Tanaka is generally regarded here
as leader Of the militarists, since the
death of Field Marshal Prince Yama-
gaia. However, the militarists were
weakened greatly by Yamagata' $
death. and there is opposition TO the
militarists now by men who did not
dare undertake that fight while Va
magata lived.
Tanaka is firmly against the pres
ent effort TO reduce the japanese
regular army.

there would De no more war in the

favor OF army reduction-in fact. un-
der such conditions. I would want 20

PUPILS ENROLL 100
PER CENT IN RED
CROSS ROLL CALL
First Week of Campaign
Comes to Successful End.
Booths Close But Work
Will Continue

Miss May Hansis reported to Red
Cross headquarters Saturday that she
had enrolled the pupils in the city
schools practically 100 per cent in the
roll call and that by Thanksgiving
she would have perfect score in all
schools. The junior pupils are en-
rolled up on the payment of % cents
or for services rendered. They are
given buttons with the initials II S"
which means | serve instead OF
the regulation Red Cross buttons.
The roll call will continue through
the coming week. with luncheon club
teams following up their solicitation
in the office buildings. Most of the
tenants of the buildings have been
seen and enrolled, but due to absence
from the city some are yet to be seen.
This work will be completed by
Thanksgiving Day.
The first week of the roll call cam
paign has been satisfactory in the
matter of membership enrolment and
1t is believed by those in charge that
by the end of the week the jefferson
County chapter will have the largest
membership ever attained. The peo-
county have responded generously
to appeals of the workers and re-
ceipts are accordingly well above the
average OF previous years.
Chairman Bowron, Vice Chairman
Andrews, and Mrs. Thomas ID. Parke,
chairman of the women's committee,
urge all chairmen to send in their
reports at the earliest possible mo-
ment so that stock can be taken ef
the work done SO far. Only few
of the plants have been heard from
and some of the workers in the city
have not yet handed in their re-
ports.
Mrs. Thomas d. Parke, chairman OF
the women's committee, who has
given her etnire time to the campai gn
during the week. is especially anx-
ious that all women committees max e
complete reports the early part OF
the week The women in charge or
the booths have been very success
full, some of the committees exceed
ing former years in receipts by most
substantial sums.
With the close of the week. the
booths were discontinued, Episcopal
women and nurses presiding over
them Saturday. So far as this feature
of the work is concerned the results
are very satisfactory to the cam
paign managers and the women VINO
gave their time to it have been
thanked by the local Red Cross Of
ficials and campaign managers.
The teachers in the city schools
will be canvassed for membership
this week, this work having been
postponed until the closing week of
the various schools Monday morning
and the teachers requested to enroll
themselves in the Red Cross.
