Prof. G. D. Louderback, Noted
Scientist, Says Japan Was
Not Properly Protected.

By PROF. g. ID. LOUDEKBACn'

written for Cosmopolitan News
Servlce.)
BERKLEY, Cal, Sept. 5.-Japan
has suffered a great disaster, the
active cause of which lies In
great earthquake. The preliminary
accounts indicate that there has
been, very much destruction, espe-
cially to the capital city, Tokyo. :,
Japan has in it's history suffered
greatly from earthquakes and II
has been estimated that, during the
last three centuries, a destructive
shock has occurred on the average
OF once in every two ana nalA
years.
These major earthquakes arise
from sudden movements in the
earth's crust-the readjustment OF
the earth blocks by sudden slips
along fault lines. Such action
causes a mighty jar that is trans
mitted in all directions through the
crust and shakes all the structures
on the surface, the violence OF the
shaking decreasing with distance
from .the source.
Some of the Japanese earthquakes
start from breaks that cut the Sur.
face of the land and are made
visible by the displacement of the
ground on the one side with re"
spect to the other, either horizon
tally or vertically.
A noteworthy example was the
earthquake of October 49,. 1891.
when at Midori, rock, roads and
| fields on the two sides of the fault
were vertically separated so that
those on one side OF the line were
elevated eighteen feet above those
on the other side.
Some of the great earthquakes OF
Japan originate in the ocean deep
| that lies to the east of the islands
and that has shown continued
activity.
The earthquakes originating in
this deep, below the floor OF the
ocean, are especially likely to
cause loss of life, for they are
generally accompanied by tidal
| waves which, advancing on the
Japanese coast. overwhelm the
coastal villages and often destroy
thousands of the inhabitants.
The reports in the newspapers OF
a destructive tidal wave accom-
panying the earthquake would indi

1t will probably never be possible
for human beings to entirely pre-
vent damage from such y.atura
phenomena as earthquakes, volcanic
eruptions, great storms, floods
landslides, ETC., but much may be
done to minimize their destructive
effects. Leaving out the question
Of tidal waves, the chief damage
from earthquakes arises from thu
shaking Of the ground.
The destructive action has been
found to depend on. the severity
of the shaking, on the one hand
and on the location and type u
structure on the other. A prop
erly constructed building may h
strongly shaken with little or ne
damage, while a poorly constructed
building may suffer from q com
parative moderate shock.
Without discussing this subject
further, it may be said that the
principles of 'shake-proof" con
struction are known, and wisdom
would dictate a wider use Of these
principles. In city like Tokyo

FLIRTING WITH DEATH

Thousands are flirting with death,
taking a chance with poison liquor,
experimenting with wood alcohol,
placing their confidence in the forged
label on the bottle.
Chicago's health commissioner re-
ports that at least 1000 have died
from the effects of poison liquor. in
this country so far this year, and the
reading of reports in the press would
indicate that the estimate is under
rather than over the actual number.
He declares that analyses made in
Chicago's laboratory shows that eight
out of ten samples submitted for
analysis have been found poison Gus.
There is ingrained in human ma
ture, perhaps more noticeable in the
more enterprising. a disposition to
take a chance. Not all who drink of
this poison liquor are those whose
abnormal thirst drives them to do it..
1t is fair TO assume many through
weakness in yielding to invita- ton or
a desire to take a chance are led to
take the fatal drink.
But odds of eight to two are not
sporting proposition. One who
jumps from the top of building may
be saved by an awning but he is
crazy to take the chance. Faith in
the word of bootleggers and dispens-
ers OF so-called booze is an indication
of lack-wit.

(BOSton Transcript
Edward Stanwood, who is dead in

was a journalist of the sound old
type who kept the bond of union
clear, and strong between journalism
and litera ture. Inheriting the tradi

possessing the best traits of the
Puritan character, he was always
keenly conscious of the moral and
formative aspects of public, political,
civic life, and in a modest but intel
lectually forcible way he left his i'm

Guent contributions to the magazines
and newspapers and his tireless sta

their broad aspect, though never di-
rectly connected with practical

A WORTHY PROJECT

The proposal to raise by popular
subscription throughout the new
world funds for the erection Of a
huge lighthouse at Santo Domingo
City as a memorial to Columbus has
the aspect Of worthy project.
=. The proposal announces the pur-
pose of entombing the remains of
Columbus. or of a supposed Co.
lumbus, in this memorial The rec
ord of the burial of the body of Co.
lumbus at the Cathedral of Seville,
Spain, is the one generally accepted,
but some investigators, who appear
to have made thorough inquiry, as
scrt that the body taken to Spain
the like name, Colon. The record is
that Columbus died at Valladolid in
1906. that his body was removed to
Seville in 1913, then to Santo Do
mingo in 1886, then to the Cathe-
dral in Havana in 1896 and after the
Spanish American war to Seville.
Controversy over the identity of
the remains isn't essential to this
enterprise. This is the part of the
world which his adventurous spirit
and remarkable ability and charac-
ter revealed to the old world. Here
is an opportunity for the inhabitants
to make a conspicuous testimonial OF
their appreciation Of the dauntless
discoverer and in so doing will build
a testimonial to themselves.

ELECTRIC MILEAGE

The miles of single track opera ted
in 1922 aggregated 43,933.SS miles as
compared with 44,s0s.31 miles in 1917,
decrease of 2 percent, and 41,032 81
miles in 1912, an increase of IL per
cent for the 10 year period, reports
the Department of Commerce The
figures show decreases in track
mileage in 80 states and small in
creases in Is states and the District
of Columbia in 1922 as compared
with 1917. The most important loss
es of trackage occurred in Massachu-
sets (S66.31 miles, and Ohio (26O.27
miles).
The above affords some compre-
hension of the difficulties encounter
ed by those who are trying to main
tain transportation facilities of one
kind in competition with improved
facilities of new and other kind.
The trend from transportation over
a roadbed maintained by the trans
portation agency to that over a road
bed maintained by the public has
teen swift since the application of
gasoline. 1t is likely to slow down
somewhat when the public wakes up
and insists that it shall pay its share
for the upkeep of the highways.
In the growing communities there
is now little cause to apprehend the
abandonment of the older methods.
Our railways will doubtless be needed
for many years and probably a part
shipped over the highways will even
tually go back to the steel rails.
