British Premier and Daugh
ter Now Well on Way
Toward America
ABOARD THE S. S. BEREN
GARtA, Sepr. 2S (AP) This
vessel tonight was fairly started
upon its voyage to New York with
the important mission of hearing
Prime Minister Ramsay MacDon
ald of Great Britain to personal
conferences which he experts to
cement the pre win; understand-
Ins between the two nations on
naval and oilier matters.
Ilia voyaeo actually began ear
ly today at Southampton where
with hli daughter Ishbel and
members of his official party he
boarded the liner last night. A
short call wa3 made at Cherbourg
for other passengers and at 4:00
p.m.. the trans-Atlantic voyage
irai begun in a brilliant sunshine
w iich eem"d to augur well.
The voyage of the "peace ship"
lo the French port was certainly
a Pacific one with the sea as
emottth as the surfar-e of a shel
tered lake in a dead calm the Mac
Donald party was naturally the
renter of attraction with the
whole ship giving itself over to
t!ie job of following every move
ment of the prime minister and
his daughter.
Mr. MacDonald himself loomed
largest in the picture and drew a
st jrm of cheers from the crowd
that thronged the pier-end at
Southampton as the Cunarder
made a somewhat belated depart
ure shortly after 9:00 a.m.. the
early fog had then lifted enough
to permit her commander to see
his way out into Southampton wa
ter. At that the huge vessel with
her d-ep draught almost lost out
with the ebbing tide and churned
mud more than once while making
her war slowly out of the solent
to deeper waters. Another half
hour and she would have been
tied up In port until afternoon,
awaiting the next tide.
The brisht jtunshine favored the
voyasers and delighted a busy
group of photographers who took
pit :tne after picture of the pre
mier and other members of his
party. They were especially fa
vored while crossing the channel
twhen a special boat drill was or
ganized for the MacDonalds, who
donned life preservers with the
crowd of others t the boat sta
tions and submitted with smiling
composure to an epidemic of cam
era shots.
Mr. MacDonald was the idol of
the pas.engers before he started,
lie fore Cherbourg was reached
his daughter had captured a sim
ilar place for herself by her sim
plicity, naturalness and undeni
able sincerity.
For two hours daring the raorn

Karlier in the day she bad worn
a red leather coat to keep off the
chill of the fog while patrolling
the decks and waving farewells
override before the . departure.
Sh.? went hatless throughout and
her strong rather serious face was
often I!t with a most engaging
smile which sometimes broke into
a generous laugh.
Americans among the passen
gers freely predicted that their
countrymen would take to "her.
They said that she scarcely ' ap
peared as the daughter of the
head of the British government
and shortly to be a distinguished
guest at the White House. They
found her perfectly unassuming
and natural.

Professor Kohler Tells
Of Interesting Jaunt to
England and Continent
Dr. Henry C. Kohler, professor
of English literature at Willam
ette university, does not hurry to
make sweeping statements of im
pressions received on his Tisit to
England and the Continent this
past summer. "Europeans chide
us for our commenting broadly on
their lives after a week's Tisit
with them," he observes, "but, on
the other hand, some of them
visit New York City and then go
home and write a book about the
United States." And with this
observation the score seems to be
evened.
Dr. Kohler did not travel with
any organized touring group, for
he preferred to pick his own itin
erary and see things in whatever
manner seemed most convenient.
By way of explanation he said, "I
wanted to come in contact with
people and their ways of living;
when once you make these con
tacts you see the sources of liter
ature and art."
Kohler Impressed by
Knglish Way of Living

ity of domesticity which made a
forceful impression on the Wil
lamette professor. This quality,

dally enjoyment are the expres
sion of this trait. The English
gardens, closed In from the public
eye, have a personality and taste
expressed In their line, form, and
color. Even the ancient stone
walls seemed to have an ancestral
quality, and gave the feeling of
continuity of existence. "As. soon
as yon enter an English room or
garden you have a feeling bt many
years of use of the place, and
sense that it has had generations
of inhabitants."
Condition Extends
To British Countryside
The English countryside, even,
seems to have something of this
quality. Although the clumps of
trees and the hedgerows give evi
dence of much thoughtful care,
there is nothing artificial about
it. The English climate with its
mists and mild winter's aids in
making the vegetation similar to
that of Oregon, with the differ
ence that there is nothing rugged
to correspond to our fir and pine
trees. Beech and oak trees pre
dominate, and the landscape pre
sents a gentleness of contour.
Hills are rolling, and a large
meadow, with its little clumps of
trees, presents the appearance of
a natural golf course.
Ancient Manor System
Found Nearly Gone
The old manor system, estab
lished hundreds of years ago. Is
all but gone. However, some
large estates with several hundred
acres enclosed by ivy-covered
walls remain. The large manor
houses seem rather to have grown
out of the landscape than to have
been built. Long avenues of trees
and smaller hedgerows lead up to
the house, and one sees a natural
presentation of perspective.""
City dwellers and inhabitants
of smaller towns do not live "on
the street" to the extent " that
Americans do. A house presents
a very plain front to the street,
and the privacy of the Individual
is highly respected. A row of
American houses with tlje families
sitting on the porch would hardly
be understood across the water.
The family garden always seems
to be an extension ot the house,
and the family life is in the house
and the garden.
English People Lacking
As Ready Conversationalists
Dr. Kohler found the English
usually reticent about opening a
conversation, but usually willing
to continue it when once it was
started. They are intelligent
questioners, as a rule, and are bet
ter critics than Americans are be
cause they do not cease to inquire
so soon. "They may differ with
you in opinion, but they are al
ways willing for you to keep your
own opinion." The Germans
seemed to be more Interested in
arguing and debating, whereas
the English desired merely to dis
cuss a question.
The English, Belgians, Ger
mans. Sws and French had their
ested Dr. Kohler. But after see
ing them all his comment was,
"They are delightful people to

Church Marred by Cracks as
Foundations Rocked in
Severe Temblor
HILO, Hawaii. Sept 28 (AP)
An earthquake rocked the en
tire city of Hllo at 7:10 a. m.,
today, one of the main streets
was ripped-apart in two places.
The Catholic church which was
moved on its foundations, was
marred by many cracks.
The shock was similar In vlci
ousness to that which caused
$100,000 damage in the Kona
district on the western, or oppos
ite side of Hawaii island. It was
the first shock felt in Hilo of the
series of quakes that hare kept
the populace of Kona district
terror stricken since Monday
night.
Hilo is approximately 60 air
line miles from Kona district,
which has been shaken almost
continuously following the first
shock Monday night caused by
movements of lava within the
craters ot the volcanoes Manna
Loa. Kilauea and Hualalai.
The Tolcano observatory, near
Kilauea, reported that 50 earth
quakes in the past 24 hours were
recorded on the seismograph, in
such manner as to Indicate that
two columns of lava were rising
to the surface. General belief is
that the lava will make. Its ap
pearance from the craters of
Hualalai or Mauna Loa, as pre
dicted by Volcanologist Thomas
A. Jaggar.
Residents in the country to the
north of Hilo were moving their
river today In an attempt to get
away from the Pun Oo district,
where the quakes seem to be
concentrated. The district Is about
15 miles 'east of Hilo, and is
sparsely settled.
After a lull yesterday, a series
of shocks began at 10 o'clock last
night. With increasing Intensity,
they were felt over the entire
island of Hawaii, with the result
that residents' nerves were strain
ed almost to the breaking points.
More than 200 shocks hare
been felt by the terrorized popu
lace during the present seismic
disturbance. Professor Jaggar,
who has studied the volcanoes ot
Hawaii for many years, said that
such activity usually preceded an
eruption, and that the Hualalai,
Mauna Loa and Kilauea volcanoes
might erupt simultaneously any
time within a month, or the activ
ity might be confined to any one
of the three.
Hualalai, although dormant

Jaggar the most likely to burst

has discharged lava streams down
its slopes from the 13.C7S foot
peak, is twenty-two miles distant
from TJalalai by air line. Kilauea,

about twenty more miles distant
from Hualalai, on the farther

Filter Plant in
Salem Discussed
By O.-W. Co.
. i
J. R. Jahn, mechanical engi
neer of the Oregon Washington
Water Service company, and H.
F. Gray, designer, were called to
San Francisco a few days ago to
consult with officials of the Fed
eral Water Service company re
specting plans for the proposed
filter plant for Salem. Thomas
H. Wiggin, chief engineer of the
company was here from New York
several days last week going over
the local plans. He went to San
Francisco from here. In Califor
nia the engineers will study some
of the installations there to ob
tain the benefit of the experience
there so they may incorporate the
best ideas in the building of the
Salem plant.
Work is going ahead as rapidly
as possible toward completing
plans for the filter plant which is
designed to provide Salem with
an abundant supply of pure water.
An additional well is to be drilled
in North Salem to augment the
supply in that district. I
