NAs told to International News service)
LONG BEACH, Cal, March IL
'(I.N.SO.-At first there was a
terrific rumbling and swaying,
closely followed by an ominous
and at the same time a thunder
struck silence.
Then began the screaming and
the panic stricken rushed for the
doors.
I knew at once what was hap
pening. I knew the best thing
was to remain inside and just
take a chance that the place
would hold together.
Rainstorm of Brick
But my wife and my boys ran
out. I followed, trying to bring
them back inside the building.
just as we emerged, a veritable
rainstorm of brick began.
saw my wife drag our young
lest boy to the sidewalk and cover
mis- body with her own-God bless
her!
She was not hit by falling brick
but injured her leg later.
AS she lay over Harold's body,
y brick landed squarely on my
head, knocking me to the pave
ment in a daze.
Many others were either writh-
iing in pain on the walk or were
Just lying there still.
Water Everywhere
At the Seaside Hospital, where
Il was taken for treatment, the
scene was frightful. Part Of the
building collapsed. The water
pipes broke and water was every
where.
It was too crowded there for
me to get treatment, but later,
as I sat weakly on a curb, a pri-
.vate physician drove up and
stitched my scalp. It was badly
torn,
Everywhere were people, many
of them injured themselves, aid
ing those who were more seri"
OuSly injured.
Later was forced to hire
truck to bring my family to Los
Angeles for more thorough treat
ment.
Many of the roads north Of
Long Beach were impossible.
Quake damage was made worse
by streams of oil liberated from
nearby oil tanks and dump holes.

differently at the time, and the problem
now is beyond solution.
In the headquarters building of the
National Geographic Society, Sixteenth
street, are two American flags, exhibited
side by side and united by the single
bond of each having been to the literal
ends of the earth One was flown over
the North Pole April 8, 1925, the other
over the South Pole November 20, 1890
The flier In each case was Rear Ad-
miral Richard E. Byrd.
The Geographic Society also has the
Stars and Stripes carried by the
Citroen- -Haardt party on the first mo-
tor expedition across Asia. Still an
other valued banner in the institution
care is its own flag Of blue, brown and
green, representing sky, earth and sea,
the masthead ensign of the Macmillan
flagship Peary in the Far North in 1925
One of the largest United States flags
extant hangs in the covered inner court
Of the Post Office Department Building,
Pennsylvania avenue. It was made of
the finest wool, was completed in 1920
and cost $500. A total of 70 feet
inches long, it is 81 feet wide. The
field measures 28x20 feet. Each star is
80 inches across and each stripe 11-13
feet. Its proportions are supposed to
be exactly right. Around it hang the
flags Of each of the 48 States and the
flags of those territories which have
banners of their own
A still larger flag was seen in Wash
ington June 8, 1929, when 200 sailors
and marines bore to the Capitol a copy
of the Stars and Stripes which mea-
sured 165 feet by 80 feet and weighed
GAO pounds. But the giant Of all Amer
ican flags is one which is reported to
have been made in Denver and which,
when shown in New York City, was
found to be large enough to completely
enWrap the Flatiron Building.
An exceedingly beautiful gallery of
flags is to be seen at the Pan American
Union Building. Seventeenth street,
which the national colors of Argentina,
Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa
Rico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecua-
dor, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras,
Mexico. Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay,
Peru, Salvador, Uruguay, Venezuela and
the United States are hung around the
entrance lobby and hall.
In the Bethlehem Chapel Washing
ton Cathedral, there is the flag car
ried by the 1st Division of American
troops when they marched through
London in the Summer of 1917. Also,
over the tomb of President Wilson.
there are the Presidents flags presented
to him on his inaugurations in 1918 and
1917.
