For Today
Dern's Successor to
Push Chiefs Ideas
BY TALBOT LAKE

IT WAS no great surprise to the
L nation when President Roose-
velt appointed Harry H. Woodring
to the Office of Secretary of War.
in the place of Secretary Dern who
died recently. Mr.. Woodring was
Assistant Secretary. and had taken
over Mr.. Dern's duties during his
fatal illness.
He is young for the job-still in
his fortieS-and is a veteran of the
World War. He is former Cover
nor of Kansas. Until 1928 he was a
banker. a profession he left to go
into politics. He became governor
in 1880, but was defeated for re-
election by Governor Landon. In
1888 President Roosevelt appoint
ed him Assistant Secretary Of War.
He came to Washington the
most eligible and desirable bache-
lor to be seen for miles. His soli-
tary life soon came to an end the
same year he arrived, 1888. when
he met and married Miss Helen
Coolidge, daughter of Senator
Coolidge of Massachusetts. In a
short time he became the father of
a boy. Marcus. and a girl. Melissa.
He was born in Elk City. Kan
saS, in 1890. the son of a Kentucky
veteran Of the Union Army. He
went into the banking business at
the age of sixteen. Finance first
knew him as an errand boy and a
janitor. Next year he kept the
books. two years later he was as
siStant cashier. Meanwhile he also
managed to attend Elk City High
School and Lebanon University.
He entered the war as plain
enlisted man and emerged as a
second lieutenant. After the war
was over he went back to banking
and rose rapidly until he went into
public life in 1928. when he sold
out all his interests.
Mr.. Woodring intends to con-
tinue the policies of his predeceS-
Sor. He says:
IF may do anything to further
found an adequate national de-
fenSe in the interest of peace for
our nation I shall feel repaid tor
every effort"

Years Mean Little

After all, does it matter how
many birthdays one has celebrat-
ed, or been careful not to cele-
brate? There are old souls. young
people who are old in their teens.
and there are life'S Peter Pans who
are sometimes a joy and some
times awful boreS.
Those who are unduly curious
about the ages of their friends are
always in a position to gratlfy
their curiosity. There are so many
ways of checking up on state
mcntS, and so many ways of tell
ing about how old a person actu-
ally is. One of the acid tests is in
"hrstS.' Their first play or picture
or the first popular song they re-
member.
There is always the tell-tale
date of their graduation from COL
lege, or something that cries out
the approximate date of their
birth. But why bother about il?
My dear Mrs. Martin: l wish
you could tell me just how to go
about handling the question OF

girls and 1 am sorry to sey that

MOST young girls are attractive.

conscious effort on their part. But
1t takes q lot of work and intelli-

That many of you have failed is
attested to by the pile of tragic
letters from women past thirty

with similar problems have wanted

Some Of you have discovered

institute. All its scientists would not be con-
centrated at the headquarters in Hawaii. They
would remain in all parts of the world as con-
sutant specialists. Connected with other institu-
tions of science and research, they would be
ready for call when needed
"A staff of engineers, physicists, geologlsts
and business economists must be organized for
the branches of the work. 1t might we'll be mod
eled after the Rockefeller Institute of Medical
Research and Its work in prevention Of loss OF
human life would be similar objective. 1t
would undertake only work that Is not dupli-
Gated by any other organization"
The endowment of such an institute, DR.. Jag
gar estimates would require about $3,0000O0
This compared to the property loss alone
of 5000, 100000 in year would be small as
to offer the possibility of a profitable invest
ment.
That volcanic power can be turned to human
benefit is illustrated by the experience of the
city of Larderello and other Tuscan towns near
Florence, Italy. Here Prince Ginori CONT to
whom goes the credit for the work, has tapped
the earth and released sufficient steam to oper-
ate factories and trolley cars. Numerous diff
culties have been encountered, particularly
because of the high content of sulphur, carbon
dioxide and borax in the steam but these are

miles distant was turned to darkness. The SOUND
of the blast was heard 5000 miles and record
ina instruments measured the passing OF the air
waves circling the earth three-and-a-half times!
Tidal waves reached Cape Horn, 1918 miles
across the Pacific, and said to have been
recorded in the English Channel, 1000 miles
from the source of the disturbance. Thirty-six
thousand persons died.
But generally the volcano serves rather as a
signal hill from which the warnings of earth
uuales and tidal waves are flashed than as
menace in itself. And it is that fact that mas
suggested to DR.. Jaggar in Hawaii the means
of bringing the safety of Kilauea to less for
tunate regions
From his 20 years of study of terrestrial
activity study given added impetus by recent
disasters DIR. Jaggar foresees the establishment
of bureau for forecastng volcanic eruptions

crater in the Hawaii National Park, one OF the
greatest tourist attractions in all America-he
has spent 20 years in studying the problem and
bases his statements on his judgment derived
from those experiences
DR. JAGGARS home volcano at Kiauea
u is one of the few that have been courteous
in the treatment of humans in recent centuries.
Like Lassen, though more spectacularly, 1t
seems to prefer to bask in the goodwill of NOR
tails. 1t has even permitted motor road to be
built to it's brink, and at times stages pyro-
technic display apparently for the special bene-
fit of the thousands that always rush to its rim
on such occasions, a display that has been rated
as more inspiring than any sight on earth
Not always was even Kilauea lady-lke in
her behavior, however. Legends record the
death of a small lrmy there once, early in his
tory, and one man, disobeying warnings, was
killed as late as 1924, by falling rock. But it
was an unnecessary tragedy, regretably. For
the observatory, then now, with its scientific
instruments can foretell with surprising accu-
racy not only the period but the strength of
forthcoming activity, and watchers may in per-
feet safety advance to a prescribed point to
watch the display
No. it is not Kilauea that worries the Fire
Scientist It is the crater in Java, or Formosa,
or Italy-or any of the three-score others here
and there throughout the world where provi-
sions have not been made for accurately watch
ing the trend of "pressures" and "tilts."
Dr. Jaggar proposes solution. He points out
that there are SO volcanoes on the face of the
earth that have been active in the last 100
years About these center eruptions, earth
auakes and tidal waves. Most recent of these
disturbances was that of Formosa where earth
uuakes on April 21 1885, reported to have
killed 2793 and injured $4,000 more Sixteen
thousand dwellings and 10000 other structures
were demolished Airplane observers brought
back word the devastation extended over 1000
square miles. Yet the Formosa disaster was
minor one!
1t. Comdr. j. H. Peters of the U. S. Coast
and Geodetic Survey, after studying the seismo-
graph record at the University of Hawaii, COM
mented the Formosa temblor WAS of no more
intensity than many others occurring through
out the world at frequent intervals"

space such as this were it not for the cur
