Mrs. Matilda L. Allen of New York
City has found her husband, Lieut..

from his home since last September.
The wife located him at st. Elizabeth's

since that time. The wife says her
husband left for q visit to his former
home at Newport News, Va, and
while passing through Washington
was taken into custody and commit
ted to the hospital as of unsound

These facts she learned only yester
day when she received a letter from
the hospital authorities, it was stated.
She had inquired of the Navy Depart
ment, she stated, and was given her
husbands address a S Newport News,
when in fact he was at the hospital.
Mrs. Allen says she has not had

whether Mr.. Fenning knew her hus-
band to be married.

Whether Congress will be asked to
appropriate at this session the $4,000
authorized for the purchase is now
being considered by the Budget Blu
reau. Should it ask for the appro-

it was said in the second deficiency
bill now pending in the Senate.

mended that the collection be pur-
chased without requiring O. II. Old

made from time to time, the coilec-

been offered by dealers as much as

DIR. JACCAR HOLDS ATLANTIC
SEABOARD SUBJECT TO QUAKES
F a m ous Volcanologist
Saws Lower Manhattan
Is Now Unsafe.
Declares Skyscrapers and
Sideways are Best
Places i'm Disaster.

NV York City is not nearly so I'M
mune from earthquake peril as it
seems to think, but it could be made
safe-which it isn't. The same condl-
ton, or theory, applies to all the AZ
lantic Coast from Nova Scotia to the
CarolinaS. New York is considered
first because of the vast billions OF
wealth represented i'll its downtown
district. A real disaster there. by
quake or fire. would not only shock
but financially disarrange the entire
world.
The tower buildings of New York,
which to the layman would seem the
points of greatest danger in an earth
quake, are held by the experts to be
the safest. 1t has been found in
earthquakes of the past that where
solid and squat buildings have been
shaken to pieces, tall chimneys near
by have been left intact. The taller
structures seem to possess the ability
10 absorb the lateral movement of the
earth without serious damage.
Expert Visiting Here.
Washington is being visited Just
now by DR.. Thomas Augustus Jaggar.
jr., probably the most eminent vol
canologist of the world, who makes
his homo at the volcano house in
Hawaii. DIR. Jaggar is in charge of
the Government observatory in the
islands. He has visited all Of the
earthquake centers of the past quar-
ter of n century and has hurried his
impatient feet to every volcanic erup-
ton of moment. He has studied In
Harvard, Munich and Heidelberg. has
taught geology in Harvard and
Massachusetts Institute OF Technol-
ogy. has been associated with the
geological survey and established in
Hawaii Q volcano experiment station.
In short. DIR. Jaggar is considered
just about the last word in volcanic
and earthquake lore.
DR.. Jaggar believes the time is not
far distant when earthquakes can be
predicted with virtually the same pre-
cision that astronomers can tell of the
coming Of a comet. That is why he
is a supporter of the geological school
of thought which believes in the study
of living processes of today rather
than in the fossil records of the past.
The present earth crust should be
brought under innumerable observa-
tons so that new rock may be studied
in its relation to time. Astronomers
measuring the brief flight of a comet
can calculate when 1t VIII reappear.
DR. Jaggar believes that by watching
the eruptions and other living proc
esses of today earthquake cycles may
be forecast with more than reason
able degree OF precision.
Palisades Are Volcanic.
Speaking OF the Atlantic coastal re-
gion, DR.. Jaggar recalled the 'quakes
of 1T55 and 1897 in New York and
Boston, as well as the Charleston
tremors oS 1886. The 1855 shake in
Boston was a severe one. Just when
the cycle will bring another shake in
this section he could not say, but
there is continental rock running
north and south along the coast.
which is considered fallow ground for
tremors. This rock is known to geolo-
eists as the Newark formation. The
Palisades of the Hudson, famed for
their beauty, are of volcanic origin.
