CAUSE Of QUAKE
IN CALIFORNIA
EXPLAINED
Scientist BIames "San Andreas
Fault" Also for Catas-
trophe Of 1906.
By PROF. RALPH ARNOLD,
Chairman Of the Southern Californi
Branch of the SeismO illogical
Society of America.

(Copyrisht. 1928, by Cosmopolitan
News Service.)
PASADENA, Cal, July 24.-The
earthquake which was felt with con
siderable severity in San Bernar'
dino, Los Angeles. and vicinity Sun
day night was due to the same
cause which shook San Francisco
in 1906 and brought on the fire
which destroyed the city. I refer
to the San Andreas fault" or
drift"
San Bernardino felt the earth
quake with greater force than any
other city because it is built right
over the San Andreas drift. This
drift starts at Point Arenas and
continues out under the ocean.
Very often we see evidence Of
earthquakes off our coast, which
are not felt on the land. These
uuakes affect the tides.
The San Andreas fault is broken
up as it comes southwark. Various
fingers of the fault are. under
such places as Ell Centre, San
Jacinto and other Southern Califor-
mia cities.
An earthquake means the stratas
of the San Andreas fault are ad-
iusting themselves. In this specific
instance the shock felt in Los An
geles and vicinity was due to the
movement of the earth as result
of the earthquake at San Bernar-
dino. I can explain this more
clearly by saying that effect is
comparable to a rock being tossed
into a pool of water. l expect to
learn that the shock was felt at
least sixty miles east of San Ber-
nardino as we'll as in Los Angeles,
sixty miles west.
We are working out a plan 70
establish three seismograph stations
in Southern California and, with
these completed, we will be able to
locate to the minutest inch the ap-
proach of every quake.
With these stations established it
would be possible, we firmly BE-
lieve, to know in advance when a
big earthquake shock is due. We
can tell that now to some extent,
for the minor quakes usually cease
just before a big one comes.
Science knows of no way to pre-
vent earthquakes. this one shock
alone having generated more horse
power than mankind has developed.
The best we can do is to know
when they are coming and, in the
sections where they are prevalent,
build to resist the shocks. Any
we'll built house or building will do
this, houses or buildings either of
wood, reinforced concrete, or other
material.

Woman Sues Doctor
for Saving Life at
Cost of Maternity

PARIS, July 24.-Mme. Leon
Ter preferred death to inability
to become a mother. She was
taken to a hospital to undergo
a minor operation and the
surgeon discovered she was SUI
fering from a cancer.
The doctor performed the
more serious operation, which,
while it saved her life, deprived
her of all hopes of motherhood.
81 would rather die than go
through life without children"
said Nine. Leonier, filing suit
for $4,000 francs. "The doctor
should have arrested the minor
operation, brought me out Of
the anaesthetic and consulted
me concerning the other opera
ton. l would never have given
my consent"
The Paris courts decided
against Nine. Leonier.

How much gum do you imagine he
would have sold?
You're right-very little.
Mr.. VIM. Wrigley, Jr., has sold his

He has individualized his gum! For
the flavor lasts pretty well in all gum,

Wrigley's to the public mind.
Gum has been taken as an example
because nothing is more common

MIR. DUNKLEY TO PRESENT
 RECITAL OF COMPOSITIONS

Ferdinand Dunkley is planning to present a recital of his compositions as a benefit for the Mcdowell Co1orly at Peterborough, N. IT., on De- scember II at Cable Hall Consider able Interest has been evidenced in the hearing of some of the work MT. Dunkley did in the summer while a member of the colony, and he has decided that no better way could be devised than by devoting the gross proceeds of the recital to the conoly. Admission will be by contribution of $1, which will pay.for membership for one year in the Birmingham chapter Of the Mcdowell Colony league. Members of the Mcdowell club (which includes membership in the league) will not be called upon to pay anything for admission to the recital.
 It is a custom cf the workers of the colony to give benefits for its support, reading their poetry. acting their plays and performing their music and some of these affairs often ne. several hundred dollars. So MT. Dunkley says that he feels he is not too presumptious In pre- 1enting some of his compositioni in his he ie city for this purpose. Several prominent localsartists will assist him on this occasion, whose names will be.s an nounced 1at~r.

DIR. EDMONDs URGES
 PEACE AMONG NATIONS


 In an exquisitely worded plea for international friendliness as basis for world peace, pr. Henry NJ. Ed monds of the Independent Presby- terian church held the minds and hearts of the members of the League of Women Voters in rapt attention at the meeting last Tuesday after noon at the Tutwiler hotel. He stated that no peace or machinery of peace could be permanent without the vir- tue and feeling of friendship, and without the realization that we are all brothers, regardless of caste or color, and children of one Father. His audience was delighted with his masterly address and expressed their gratitude in vote of thanks at the close of the meeting.
 Officers for the new year were also elected at this time.
 Mrs. J. M. Hankins, president, and Mrs. w. D. Colby, treasurer, were honored by reelection, both hayfng g been proven during year of hard service. The new first vice president Mrs. Palmer Daugette, was the head of the very successful membership drive just concluded by the league. while the second vice president Mrs. Dora c. Fell, was 8 pioneer in the suffrage days and is considered most capable. Miss Marjorie Adler third vice president, was on the executive board two years ago and Is esteemed a fine worker as Is Mrs. Prestley Touln1in, the new secretary who did yeoman service during the anti convict lease campaign last summer Mrs. Neil Wallace, who will be public ity secretary, is also pioneer In political work for women, and is very widely and favorably known. 2 The choice of the nominating committed is being generally praised, and the prevailing sentiment Is that the league has secured a worthy and able set of officers for the coming year, The present board holds over until the second Tuesday in January, when the new officials are installed
 In. accepting the nomination, Mrs. Hankins gave an outline of the achievements of the year, such as the poll tax and registration cam paigns, the housewives exhibit the citizenship essay contest, the cam paign against the lease system, the membership drive, and so on, and stated her hope to increase the work and influence of the league during the next year. She expressed her gratitude to all the officers and com mittee chairmen who had so splendid- ly supported her, and bespoke the help of all the members in the months to come.
 Mrs. Grefenkamp. retiring secre- tsry, paid a warm tribute to the work of Mrs. Hankins and to her fine sweet, unselfish, spirit.
 Mrs. Fisk made an appeal that the standard of the league should always be kept high and stainless, and its motives broad and unselfish, looking always to the raising of political ideals.
