A. Jaggar. the scientist, who for quar-

eruptionS as a fireman responds TO an
alarm, has left Washington TO lead the
Society's expedition to the Mount Pavioi
sector of the Alaskan Peninsula and
Aleutian Island volcanic chain.
President Gilbert GroSvenor and the
research committee of the Geographic
Society went over the final plans for
the expedition with DR.. Jaggar last
week before the latter'S departure. BY
intensive study of this longest battery
of craters in the world it is hoped to
devise WAYS of predicting volcanic erup-
tons and earthquake shocks and thus
save millions of dollars worth Of prop
erty and thousands Of lives.
More Congestion.
DR.. Jaggar is not an alarmist. Like
other leading scientists who have de-
voted intensive study to these disturb
ances, he believed there are no more
EARTHQUAKES now than there have been
