turn to normal conditions at no dis
tant date.
"The past few years have not been
without some compensating benefits
through the knowledge we have gain

much more to be desired than an un-
justifiably large return"
The Occidental has no outstanding
debts excepting current monthly bills,
he pointed out, explaining that "Our
stock outstanding is u sole liabili-
ty, and our total assets are directly
back of u stock"

THE FAR-EASTERN DANGER.

As far America is concerned, the greatest danger in the Far East is not the actual possibility of conflict there, but the inclination among Amer jeans to talk in terms of certain war involving us The danger is one of psychology, not one ot fact. It must be admitted, of course that Japan ana Russia are far from cordial and have several grave divergences of interest which may some time lead to trouble It must be admitted also that American policy is squarely opposed to the expansion oi Japanese imperialism in Asia. Yet these facts do not combine to form picture of imminent danger.
 Japan has many excellent reasons for avoiding war with Russia, particularly the need for muster ing all her strength to corral Asatic markets for her export trade She has cause for war against the United States, and there is dispute between friction at least for a good many years to come. Russia likewise has nothing to gain and much to lose by war. Neither is there any basis for the repeated rmors that America and Russia have reach ed an understanding" equivalent to a joint policy against Japan
 The Russo-Japanese friction, while based on cer- tain actual differences, is largely the result of irresponsible gestures of animosty in Tokyo and Moscow. It is important that should not allow ourselves in the United States to fall into the same psyehoogg of fear and thereby increase the possi- bilty of conflict. We need firm and clear policy in the Far East but it does not need to be the source of serious friction with Japan and eer7 tainy doe not require the courting of Russia for it's effective application.

for just that purpose. The apparatus, known as stress recorder, is designed by A. c. Rupe, Re- search Associate in Seismology in the Engineering Department
 Previously engineers had to observe the sway ing of a building model and then, by mathematics, calculate the stresses on the various members. The new apparatus gives the final answer directly. The instrument, weighing only ounce or two, is a system of mirrors, lenses and prsms that writes the stresses of a model structure photographic paper with pencil-like point of light. At the same time intervals of time recorded on the paper by a flashing electric spark operated by tuning fork
 A model, if built according to the correct model laws will react to artificial earthquake in exactly the way a large structure would react to natural earthquake only smaller scale If the scale is chosen properly it is quite possible to build model of ten-story structure having a total height of only four five feet and total weight of perhaps 100 pounds. Such model be put "shak- ing table," which produces artificial earthquake and the results will immediately reveal than months of careful figuring could. The model auto matcaly solves the problem and in that sense is a special type of calculating machine which gives the answers to equations complex to be beyond human calculations. The answer is given by the model in the form of vibrations caused by the earth quake, and these the engineer in the laboratory.

TESTING EARTHQUAKE STRAINS.

Loss of life in the recent earthquake centering in Northwestern India has been estimated all the way from 15,o00 to 50000 dead.

 Reports of ruined temples and other structures probably explain the great loss of life and emphasize the need for study of the best way to construct buildings to withstand earthquake forces. In a country like the United States having generally high structures the problem has great significance

What Wines in the White House Cellar?
(New York Herald Tribune0


 The decision to only wine and beer in the White House, while already dsapproved by Bishop Cannon, and probably unwelcome to the distillers, will be accepted by most Americans with equanlmlty and curiosity. American vintages are to have the preference it is said. This is altogether appropriate But the curious-and ignorant-cannot help won dering which American wines to be so honored. California, as the home of well known wines and Roosevelt Republicans, will not be neglected. The excellent vintages of New York, as the Presidents home State, and of New Jersey should be given quotas But what of the other States?
 As a matter of fact if the occupants of the White House discover and popularze good Am erican wines they will be furthering the cause of civilized dining as well bringing fame and for tune to local vntners Among the curses of the late Prohibition experiment. is the fact that generation has grown up in this country which knows not wine. Many of the elders, who drank in the days before Vostead have lost touch with their favorite native wines. But those who still know what they enjoyed in the old days fear that the wines now on sale are not what they would have been had there been no noble experiment. Good American wines must exist. But they are too little known. Tt remains for enterprising American winemakers Ito tickle the publics palate.

MISSING A|RP[ANE
is FOUND WRECKED
Pan-American Liner Had
Nine Passengers in
r. Andes Crash.
BY the Associated Press.

MENDOZA, Argentina, March 22-
One OF the greatest mysteries of the
air was solved today when searchers
found the wreck Of the Pan-American
Airways' liner San Jose, lost 20
months ago in a flight over the Andes
They found the bodies Of the nine
occupants Of the plane, two of them
United States citizens, preserved
under a heavy blanket of snow.
Seven of the bodies were said to
be in good condition, but the other
two were headless.
The plane was found crumpled in
the Argentine mountains, four miles
south of Puente del Inca
Its disappearance caused a dogged,
widespread search.
For days after it was lost on a
fight between Santiago, Chile, and
Buenos Aires other planes cruised
pack and forth over the regular route,
in constant radio communication with
Mendoza and Santiago.
Carried Six Passengers.
Other expeditions we're sent out on
foot, through snow-covered mountain
passes. in an effort to determine the
fate Of the flyers
The ship carried six passengers and
three crew members
The passengers were:
F. E. Camus, division traffic man.
ager of the airline; J. c. Sabate, o. S.
Pezet. E. E. Ratio. Pinkus Roszyld
| and F. L. America
The crew we're: Charles ]. Robinson,
pilot; C. w. Myers. radio operator, and
A. Woods, steward.
( The San Jose left Santiago at
$40 am July 16. 1882. Its RADIO was
1 last heard at TAO am. but an hour
I later. the plane was seen flying over
| the Argentine Andes near Las Cuevas
Argentina.
Not only was the flight in the mid
! ole Of the Chilean Argentine Winter
/ but the climate at the top of the
Andes is always bitter cold.
Despite the fact that a terrific
storm ragged on the days following the
San Jose's disappearance. as many as
u airplanes. some supplied by the
| Chilean army, went into the air
simultaneously in the determined
| search.
Expedition Is Sent.
Pilot Robinson left a wife and two
children in Chicago Radio Operator
Myers had parents. Mr. and Mrs. c.
w Myers. living in Canton. Ohio.
The plane was discovered by EN-
ployes of the Puente Del Inca Ohel
| who advised the Pan-American Air
ways that the plane was wrecked and
contained human bodies.
The airline Immediately organized
an expedition to the spot which is
near the Chilean border at the base
of Mount Aconcagua. $500 feet high
| and the loftiest in the Americas.

That was remarkable spontaneous
display of confidence in Mr.. Rocse-
velt's ability to work the situation out.
The Weirton announcement was
another example of perfect timing by
the Justice Department. After boot
ing the case around for months. ii
decided to act at the moment the de-
cision was most needed.
No one can prove it, but, of course
the department got its orders from
the White House.
Market Bill Is Real One.
This new stock market bill is the
real one.
1t will be enacted into law before
the end Of this session without much
more modification.
The best proof that it is fairly
good bill is the fact that both the
liberals and the Wall Streeters
are disappointed in it. One lib
erGl closely associated Nth its
preparation threw up his hands
after it 1sds announced and said
his Efforts in public service UeTe
ouer toreUer.
The Wall Street objections are
mostly noise also. The marketeers
helped boost stock prices in connec-
ton with the automobile decision the
very day the bill was announced.
Absurdities in the original have
been almost entirely eliminated in the
new measure, without sacrificing
strong control.
Margin Item Discussed.
One feature may cause trouble.
Wall Streeters say the high margin
requirement will encourage violent
fluctuations. They contend sincerely
that margin buying cushions the de-
clines and moderates the upswings.
