A new seismograph Of the Gautizn
horizontal type. one Of the rarest In
existence, is soon to be installed at
Georgetown University as an addition
to the five understanding machines
that comprise the equipment OF the
chronological observatory.
With the installation Of the new
machine. the Georgetown observatory
will be the only one on this side of the
Atlantic to be equipped with two OF
the famous Galitizin type. Rev. Fran
els A Tondorf, s. j., worldwide au-
thority on earthquakes, who is direc'
tor in charge of the Georgetown seis-
mographs, is negotiating for the new
machine. ....
In recent years Father Tondorf has
given to the world first news OF many
earthquakes, and the recording Of the
Toxic quake on the machines at
Georgetown was the first intimauon
that the American press received OF
that disaster. A year ago Father
Tondorf acquired Galitizin seismo-
graph of the vertical type. which was
brought over from England and In
stalled in q cave built especially for
that purpose. Its acquisition placed
the Georgetown observatory at a dis
tiflct advantage over any other in the
United States.
Friction Nearly Eliminated.
Special features OF the Galitizln ma
chine are magnetic registration and
photographic recording whereby the
element of friction in other types or
machines is almost eliminated. Ac-
cordingly, the Galitizin machine Will
permit the recording Of many more OF
the earths distant vibrations and per-
NIT a more accurate Interpretation.
With an additional machine OF the
horizontal type, the check can be
made even more accurate by methods
of comparison.
The installation of the new ma
chine, Father Tondorf believes, Will
prove of great value to American
scientists.

While there are many excellent in
stitutions devoted to medical investi-
cations, Father Coyle said that
there Is not single organization
whose purpose is a determined co.
operative attack on the problem OF
disease and health, where intense
chemical and physical research goes

CALIPATRIA NOT
DOWNCAST, GOING
AHEAD WITH WORK

Reports !from Calipatria a4visc
that the youngest city in the val
ley, is displaying all the pep and
agility of youth in returning to
normalcy. following the windstorm
of Tuesday night which caused up
wards of 100000 damages to pro
perty i'll the city and resulted in
the death of one person.
The few people who were injured
are reported to be able to return
to their homes.
Squads of men have been kept
busy yesterday and today removing
the debris east about by the storm
and preparing to rebuild the struc-
lures which were destroyed or dam
aged by the storm. Despite the dis
aster, business was reported unusu-
ally good in Calipatria, the news of
the storm having attracted visitors
from all parts of the valley to Cali
patria and the sightseers spent no
small sum of money in the town as
they wandered about looking over
the wrecked homes and buildings.
"Calipatria is ready for busi-
ness said Mayor jerry Farmer,

FRENCH MINISTER
SEEMS .JUBILANT
OVER DEBT TERMS

LONDON. Aug. %. - French FL
nance Minister CaillauX went back
to Paris today apparently lubilant
at the torms of the tentative debt
settlement he had achieved in his
conferences with British Chancellor
of the Exchequcr Winston Churchill.
These terms, which in effect put
IN to America the question of Civ
ing France lenient treatment on her
United States debt, would be sub
nitted to special meeting of the
French cabinet. That France will
accept is deemed certain.
Any dissatisfaction in France over
the arrangement to pay for 62 years
an anuunity of about $S2, 100000
will probably be allayed by the fact
that Caillaux received indications
in the city London S Wall street
that he could obtain British
credits to tide the Bank of France
over its momentary financial trou-
blCs.
