ton geologists and scientists. ac.
cordinG to Dr.. T. A. Jaeger, Volcan-
ologist Of the Geological Society
who has just returned from trlr
to the Pacific coast and Washington
to resume his post at the Hawaiian
Volcano Observatory at kilauea.
The prediction Of volcanic disturb
ances or their intensity. in the opin-
ion Of Dr.. Jaggar. is only small
part Of the problem and the part
least likely Of immediate solution.
He holds that, despite the advance
of scientific knowledge concerning
the causes Of movements Of the
earth. forecasts as yet can prove of
little value. He points out that, on
statistical data collected over "A large
number Of years. an earthquake on
the middle Pacific coast of the
United States could be predicted for
1851 on the basis Of the San Fran
cisco catastrophe Of 1906: but the
scientists would consider themselves
extremely accurate if the range Of
date predicted fell within ten-year
period on either side Of the year
mentioned.
Moreover. such prediction, to be Of
value. would not only have to be more
exact from the point Of view of time,
but would have to indicate definite
ly the place Of the impending dis
aster and its intensity. DR.. Jaggar
stresses the fact that series Of
small earthquakes might occur at
the place and time designated. yet
the prediction would fail Of its pur-
pose as a warning to the popula-
tions affected, for a series Of minor
upheavals might be fear-inspiring
and yet do little damage, while a
large earthquake could wipe out a
city.
The Southern California coas is ter
restially Of the nature Of an earth
quake area. 1t is Of a geological
formation similar to various other
areas where earthquakes and trcm-
ors have done immense damage. How
can the danger Of damage by fu-
ture disturbance on the Pacific
coast be mnimized? This S the hard
question that the scientist in con-
junction with various public bodies.
have set themselves to answer.
Warns Agains Higher Buildings
DR.. Jaggar took a picture of the
Los Angeles metropolitan area from
Mount Wilson. This showed the
extreme concentration Of people and
property within small area. The
god Of the mountains would find all
he wished to destroy squeezed into
a small area. The recent earth
quake tremors throughout the At
lantic coast also awakened the pub
lie to the danger that the great cit
les there faced. DR.. Jaggar stressed
the fact that the Economic -Engin-
eering Foundation, a group Of men
interested in preparing for national
emergencies, has given particular
attention to the menace to life and

turning 1t into pond. And nothing
Peter could say caused her to change
her opinion in the least. Finally he
gave up trying. You see, little Mrs.
Peter is not unlike great many

and set in her ways.
One day as Peter made his way
through the swamp toward the new
dam he made q discovery. 1t seem

TO another tussock he noticed that
there was water standing in between
and 1t hadn't been hat way the last
time he was over there. He couldn' I
recall that there had been a hard
rain, so he couldn't understand that
wetness Then. when he was almost

, running through between the sticks
! Of which the dam was being built,
and over the top, for it was stIll very
low, but it wasn't running off fast
enough to keep it from creeping
back and back slowly. Those beavers
were working with might and main

through. Peter was looking at the

didn't quite understand just what
was going on. You see, it was diff
cult TO believe that just piling sticks
and brush and mud across the
Laughing Brook would actually
!
make a pond. and that the farther
that dam was carried each side of
the Laughing Brook the bigger that
pond would be. In fact, he couldn't
understand at all why Paddy ana his
family kept building that dam farth-
er and farther away from the Laugh
ing Brook, making 1t longer and
longer. II wasn't until Paddy show
ed him how the water above that
dam was creeping farther and farth-

that he began to understand,
Quite suddenly and Unexpectedly
a feeling OF sadness swept over
Peter. Something he had known all
his life was being changed right be-
fore his eyes. Yes, sir, that very
thing was happening. Pretty soon he
would no longer be able TO run about
in that swamp. Next year Long
