SUN SPOTS, QUAKES, ARE IN AFFINITY SAYS ASSOCIATE OF R1CARD Dr, Porta, Santa , Clara Uni ; versity Said to HSv'e Pre dicted All Recents QuakesT 1 nitrd Prs I.eael Wlrr.) Rants Clara, Cal., Keb. 28. That every earthquake for months past has been predicted for weeks or months In advance by Dr. Albert Porta, Father Rlcard's association at Santa Clara university.

Between earthquakes and sun spots, it Is the Santa Clara observer's opinion, a direct connection exists. According to their theory, when the revolving; sun brings a spot within a tuadrtlatoral 70 degrees square on the side of the sun facing the earth, there ts a danger period which increases as the spot nenrs the solar axis, and when it crosses the axis there invar iably Is an earthquake. The quake's location, if Dr. I'orta Is correct, depends on the spot's posi tion on the sun. In his weather forecast for March. It was learned that Father Ttlcard sees only four storm dates: March 1 and 2: 7; 10 and 11, and 17. The detailed report Is to he published tomorrow. Karthquakcs Recorded. Washington, Feb. 2X.

W. SAYS Former Portland Physician Addresses the Commercial Club,, There Is no such thing as a self made man," declared Dr. Woods Hutch inson in addressing the membership of the Commercial club at luncheon today. "He was born that way, that is vigorous and healthy." The 'state ment was received with a wave of ap plause that indicated hearty approval. Dr. Hutchinson is In Portland today ei route to California to iflll lecture engagements. Nine years ago he lived in Portland ar a practicing physician, but now he makes New York his head quarters and writes magazine articles In the Interest of the improvement of mankindr This evening he will Kg guest of honor at a dinner at the Port land given by a number of members of the medical profession, ' intimate friends of his. Eug-enics Gets Bap. Dr. Hutchinson indicated in his talk today that while the science of eu genics may be of importance, all chil dren arcj born alike, with a very small exception, :uch as from 2 to i per cent, who are borne by degener ates. These oil belong to one class, l e contended, and can be graced back to a mere handful of tramps and chicken thieves. Had they been elimU uated from society in tvisej days, there would have bc-'n none today. j "The pedigrees of the . people of a community are pretty much the same," he explained. "The theory of breed ing lower animals do not apply to man, for man is far too high to bo bred on such standards., besides, we breed the lower animals to; our advan tage, and not necessarily J to the ad vantage of the animal. For Instance, I do not think the high bred hog finds is'advantageous to carry 250 pounds of extra fat, but it Is of advantage to the butcher. "Poverty." Dr. Hutchinson continued, "Is due largely to disease, and disease of the jrrown people may ht traced as developments of trivial diseases dur ing childhood." Moat Tots Born normal. He contended that the great major ity of children are born normal and if properly fed, housed and cared for will grow into strong, healthy men and women. The more abundantly growing children are fed, the greater will be the working returns of" the community in which they live. Employers, he pointed out. are begin ning to discover this and they no longer see how little they can get men to work for but instead devote atten tion to see how well they can afford to pay them. Therefore, he said, 'it is up to any community to make the coming genera tion what it wishes to make it. Even in the slums, he said, children are born normal and among them as many gen iuses as among the upper strata of society. C. C. Chapman announced at the luncheon t hat on Monday j F.
