routing plan which will make our serv-
ice speedier and more convenient.
1--WE have been participating for sew
eral years in investigations leading to
the design of quieter, faster and more
attractive street cars. When the design
is perfected and such cars are available,
it Is our expectation to purchase them
If our financial condition permits"
Riley E. Elgen. acting chairman OF
the Public Utilities Commission, said to-
day that the benefits to the riding pub
lie from the merger far exceed the dol
lars and cents it will save by not having
to buy transfers between the two rail
systems.
1T is a fact" he said, "that there
are at present many people who must
pay two fares to get where they want
to go. How many they are, we do not
know, but we know that the number Is
substantial. From now on, nobody will
have to pay more than one fare for q
single journey.
Il expect the new system. especially
in conjunction with the two weekly
passes, to set up entirely new riding
habits. to make transportation by mass
carriers more popular, cheaper and
more useful" ..

STARTLING VAR FRONT SHIFTED
TOT AFTER AVENUE VICTORY

He must have heard few, however,
as the gay facades Of midtown F street
were dark with the birds, especially on
the north side between Twelfth and
Fourteenth streets.
Today Mr.. Lanham sent a representa-
tive to the managers Of F street stores
and theaterS, to ask consent for mem
bers of the Districts starting chaser
corps to mount to their roofs. These
men, Mr.. Lanham said, will be equipped
with ropes with which to dangle old
telephone books and swing them along
the lodges of the new starting rooSts.
Mr.. Lanham has new theory In
view of his recent success. IF you
wake up the starlings several times
each night, and get them mad" he
said hopefully, they will seek another
lodging place I think"
At any rate, he is going to give it q
try. If the starlings forsake the basi-
ness for the residential sections Of their
chosen Capital, then Mr.. Lanham may
have another problem on his hands
Starlings, naturalists say, wake early in
the morning. and in . highly audible

Stockton Boon of Agriculture
Department "Awakened'
by Own Picture.

Stockton Harry Boon, So, Department
of Agriculture auditor, who was an
amnesia victim for six weeks until he
found himself" when a magazine
published his picture, was released yes
terday by Pasadena. Calf, police in
custody of his brother. Maj. Ben Boon
U. S. M, of San Diego, according to
an Associated Press dispatch.
Missing from his home at 2l21 II
street here for month and a half
Mr.. Boon walked into a Pasadena police
station last Monday. He was wearing
ill-fitting duck trousers. a wool shirt
and a hat with a Washington label in
IL. He was without funds.
Name Given as Poor Devil"
Asked his name, he wrote down
Poor Devil" the Associated Press story
relates. He explained a truck driver
had given him a ride and dollar,
remarking you poor devil"
Not another thing could he remember
about himself, but he quoted agricul-
tural statistics like a Government re-
port. He told the policemen how much
cotton sundry States produced in recent
yCoA ., SAiC SOA4oAtfoil VI lifC WA1Cdt SAOH
in every county in Kansas, and the
answers to innumerable other crop
questions.
As to his family or his home, he could
only say, I'm just poor devil"
Discovers Own Picture.
Looking through a stack of old
magazines yesterday, however, he saw
something which made him tremble all
over. 1t was a picture of Stockton
Harry Boon at his desk in Washington,
working on crop statistics. Recognizing
himself, he at once remembered his
wife in Washington, who had been
searching increasingly for him, but
found no clue until The Star told her
yesterday of his appearance in Cali
fornia; recalled that he had a brother
in San Diego, but could not explain
how he came to Pasadena.
Mrs. Boon learned during her search
that just before his disappearance her
husband had drawn his salary and
some savings from q bank and later
purchased clothes at q downtown store.
He could not remember yesterday what
became of his clothes or his money,
Mrs Boon said he had been working
night and day for months before his
disappearance, and that he was Of a
nervous temperament.

n VIDENCE that the desolate
l. waste of the Alaskan penin-
sula is the cradle of North
IL Americas tempests and that
there is a world volcanic cycle
of recurrent eruptions every II or IS
years was presented here today by Rev.
Bernard R. Hubbard, Jesuit geologist
of Santa Clara University. just back
from an adventurous Summer in the
North.
During the Summer he few back and
forth across the 2,000-mile eXparse of
barren mountain and smoke-shrouded
valley. his plane tossed like a dead leaf
by 1O0-mile- -an-hour gales literally ex-
ploding into the atmosphere from vol
cano- studded desolation below.
This region, little explored by Scient-
lists, is as if made to order for the
creation of tempests, Father Hubbard
said. Here the warm japanese cur
rent and the cold Arctic current are
separated by the narrow belt of high,
newborn mountains, which tend to
heat the air above them from the great
fires burning in their interiors. Warm
and cold air sheets are brought in close
contact. The result is a number of
rapidly condenSing centers, which are
all that is needed for the birth OF
tempests. The great gales. he said, are
like coiled springs tossed upward
with explosive energy and spreading
Southeastward until they bring storms
over the continent.
Basic Volcano Formula.
Years of research on the Alaskan
peninsula have convinced Father Hub
bard that volcanic eruptions occur in
cycles roughly approximating the IL
year sunspot' cycle which is also be-
lieved to play a prominent part in
earthquakes and in weather phenomena.
1t is all tied up together, Father Hub
bard said, although years of research
may be required to determine the
exact formula or the exact mechanism
involved
The variations in the radiations of
the sun, he said. cause pulsations of the
atmosphere. These presumably lead to
earth shocks. And a volcano. he said,
is like an enormous test tube filled with
explosive gases In a chemical labora-
tory. The explosion is set off by little
shaking.
Father Hubbard this Summer pre-
dicted the eruption of the Aniakchak
volcano in about the center Of the
peninsula, which before had been quies-
cent for a century, but which suddenly
exploded with one of the greatest erup-
tions of modern times. He was conf
dent from the periodicity calculations,
he says, that there would be an ex-
plosion somewhere in the center of the
peninsula, but within a range of 1000
miles, he picked Aniakchak by a series
of fortunate deductions. 1t came on
schedule, shooting flames 1000 feet into
the air and dust and ashes through the

Gen. johnson said he had received
the promise that Loft, Inc, would pay
the full 27-cent minimum hourly wage
required. Affidavits by mattresses had
stated that they received 14l2 cents an
hour
The question of counting in tips
now is being hotly debated in the re-
vision of the restaurant code. Guth
has announced he intends to sign and
abide by this code when it is approved.
Although this was not the first Blue
Eagle restored to an employer who had
had it taken away for violation, it
was the first time that Gen. johnson
acted directly without referring the
question back to the local compliance
board for settlement.
In his protests to President Roosevelt
and Gen. johnson, Guth charged the
Blue Eagle was taken the day after a
petition for an exception was denied by
the N. R. A. and before the concern
had a chance to comply with the de-
cision.
Calls Removal Tragic"
He said the removal action was a
tragic mistake" and would do the
concern irreparable harm. unless recti-
fled Immediately with statement from
Gen. johnson to the press.
The administrations side of the case
was that with the first petition for an
exception, filed October %, Charles G.
Guth, jr.. local manager, promised to
abide by the decision, whatever it might
be, but that when he filed another SIM
liar petition, November 28, he admitted
the minimum wage required had not
been paid.
