residents today repaired minor dam
age resulting from an earthquake
while scientists kept a close watch
for possible eruptions of numerous
active volcanoes on Hawaii, south
ernmost island of the mid-Paciflc
group.
Possibility that Mauna Loa, one
Of three great volcanoes on that
island. might have originated the
temblor, was expressed by Comdr.
J. H. Peters Of the Coast Geodetic
Survey
Peters expressed belief the epicen-
ter of the quake, which began at
1905 pm. Saturday (3:55 am. Sum-
day. E. s. T.>, and lasted two minutes,
was around Hawaii Island. Assis-
tant Volcanologist Hugh Waesche
said II the quake originated there
it probably was from Mauna Loa,
though he declared earth tremors of
the type felt did not forecast an
eruption
The earthquake cracked plaster,
tumbled crockery from shelves and
frightened island residents, but no
casualties were reported.
DR.. Thomas A. Jaggar, volcanolo-
gist, said at Hilo, Hawaii, the earth
quake's center was near Molokai or
Lanai Islands. approximately $50
miles north of the active volcanoes
on Hawaii Island.
Delayed reports from the island Of
Maui said there had been no COM
munication with Hama, Eastern
Maui, since the quake. Telephone
lines were down and highways i'm
passable because of wide cracks.
DR.. Jaggar warned that unless q
safe building program" is adopted
at once. earthquake tragedies as in
tense as those that have swept Mes
sina, Italy; Toxic, San Francisco
and other great centers would strike
the Hawaiian Islands.
Though damage was slight, Peters
said it was the worst earthquake

GREETINGS !!j BASEBALL


Baseballs to the right Of me, base
balls to the left Of me, baseballs
all around. Get the idea7 The point
that am trying to bring to your
attention is that the 1888 baseball
season was officially opened last
week.
From now on whenever you see two
or more men gathered in little
huddle by all means approach them
nth your guard up, one hand over
your nose and the other arm protect
ing the eyes because, if you walk in
carelessly you are apt to get hit
in the mush wi tn q sizzling ground
err or get konked on the noggins with
a fat loui sville s1ugger. Impending
wars, Budgets and other national
issues have been discarded while
more interesting issues are debated.
Whether the Chicago Cubs got hooked
when they shelled out 1876 200 potat-
oes and three ball players to the
St. Louis Cards for the great Dizzy
Dean? Will the addition Of Dean mean
the pennant for the cards7 Should
DiMaggio have accepted the measly
$25 900 he alleged1y signed for?
Are the Yankees on the skids? Will
Rudy York hit 60 home-runs? These
are a few Of the many questions that
have the boys all a-twitter and Will :
get plenty Of answere pro and con
for the next several months.
The United States takes it's
baseball seriously. Wat would we
do without it? We must look up

BALTIMORE, Dec. "a perma :
nent steel guard rail may be erected
along the center of the Washing
ton Baltimore boulevard
State Roads Commission sources
disclosed today the plan was under
consideration as a means of keep
ing the motorists on the right side
of the road"
They said similar guard rail con-
structed on an 8OO-fOot section of
the new Gov. Ritchie highway from
Baltimore to Annapolis had been
successful in preventing motorists
from crossing highway lanes and
colliding with 0ncoming automobiles.
Chief Engineer Nathan L. Smith
said the 3-foot rail ON the Richie
highway was experimental only in
the sense that engineers wished to
test it's efficacy with a view to future
installation elsewhere.
ITS been our observation that
most of the head-on accidents on
the Washington Baltimore boule-
ward are caused by drivers who cross
over the center line. A guard rail
down the middle of the road would
save many lives" he said.
Mr.. Smith conceded possible dan
ger of the rail to motorists forced
into 1t by sudden swerves OF other
cars, but added he felt the menace
OF the rail would result In more care
