been kidnaped1 was generally known.
An effort to find the sender of this

tW prill Bbte Metal War,
Quake Probably Caused
By Readjustment Within
Earth Declares Savant
Accurate Knowledge of Ground Movement
Obtained With Special Instruments
Recently Installed in South
By F. B. COLT ON, Ainodatcd Press Science Writer.
WASHINGTON, Ma, ia.P) The California earthquake tuu flven sel
entlfU an opportunity they wers waltlnr for to rain knowledge In the
future that may prevent Just such damages and Iom of life as has oc
curred In west ooast cities.
The first accurate knowledge of
how the ground moves at a spot
whet an earthquake la taking place
Is believed to have been recorded by
Frlday'a earthquake on special
cording machines recently installed
for that purpose in California by the
coast and geodetlo survey.
. The machines were arranged so that
an earthquake shock would start them
working automatically recording on
moving strips of paper the move
ments of the ground beneath. Knowl
edge of these movements. It is be
lieved, will be useful In constructing
buildings that will resist earth shock
The machines, designed to be
shaken Into action when an earth
quake starts, are of two types the
aocelerometer, Which measures the
distance end speed of the earth's
sway from side to elds.
The California quake probably was
due to readjustments within the
earth, accompanying the process of
mountain -building that Is taking
place on the west coast, said Father
Ft W. 6ohon, seismologist of George
town university. Quakes are believ
ed to result from the audden release
of tension that has been gradually
built up over a long period deep in
the earth, Just as the gradual bend
ing of a etlck of wood finally brings
it to the breaking point,
Such readjustments usually occur
In regions where there are high
mountains and ocean deeps adjacent
to each other, he explained. Just
what happens deep In the earth la
not definltly known, but one theory
Is that Increasing weight of sedi
ments washed down from mountain
ranges into ocean deeps cause pres
sure that pushes up the nearby
mountains as wleght of the sediment
Is removed from them.
The west ooast Is In an earthquake
belt shown on a map recently com
piled by Captain 1ST. H. Heck of the
coast and geodetlo survey. The belt
follows the Andes of South America,
encircles the Caribbean sea, and fol
lowing the American west coast, the
Alaskan ooast and down the Asiatic
ooast in the region of Japan and the
Philippines.
Father 6ohon said the California
earthquake was not as strong as
either the quake that destroyed Tokyo
or that which devastated Managua,
but did relatively heavy damage be
cause It occurred In a populous re
gion.

BOLGER STRESSES
NEED OF FAITH
Repeating the words of President
Roosevelt, "The only thing we have
to fear la fear Itself," W. fl. Bolger
president of the Medford Chamber of
Commerce, opened an address at the
noon luncheon of the Ki wants club
at the Hotel Medford today, urging
all couthern Oregonlans to school
themselves In confidence and "all
will go well."
"The United States has gone
through five wars and ten panics and
has come out of all wiser and health
ier," Mr. Bolger reminded hla audi
ence. "we are now living in a elck
nation. But It will not always be
so."
It Is the duty of the Chamber of
Commerce, the sneaker polntod out,
to sponsor a program restoring con
fidence In the people. The Chamber
of . Commerce has always worked for
the progress, protection and promo
tion of Medford and Jackson county,
and will contlnu eto do so.
A partial outline of the activities
anticipated for this year waa given
by Mr. Bolger, who emphasized . the
need for continued and further co
operation with the farming Interests
of the valley.
We must do something for the
farmer," he stated. "It Is the man
on the farm who deserves our aup
port. He Is the one who butters our
bread." Tours to the various oranges
and community clubs, Mr. Bolger de
scribed as the most worthwhile proj
ects of the chamber.
"It is time to take off the wreck
ing crew. Time to put on the con
struction crew," he added in refer
ence to conditions in Jackson county.
".Service clubs are the main arteries
through which the Chamber of Com
merce can function In this program."
Much to be accompUihed through
a "palnt-up and clean-up" campaign
to stimulate real estate sales was
cited by Mr. Bolger. He also stressed
the need for favorable publicity, tn
traducing the Medford region to
other sections. He referred to the
gold-panning contest held Saturdday,
as a fine opportunity for accomplish
ing aucn publicity.
In closing, the Chamber of Com
merce president invited the Klwan
ians to Join the tour to the Central
Point Grange next Frldav evening.
Rev. W. J. Howell of the Presby
terian ohurch, a guest at today's
mncneon, entertained the olub with
several clever stories, and urged all
to give more time and attention to
the ohurch, which is seeking the es
tablishment of higher moral stand
ards in the community, along with
higher Ideals and harmony.
Date for the Joint meeting with
cne Asniand Klwanis club was an
nounced as March 33 by Olen Arns
plger. who stated that the committee
was unable to obtain the Talent Com
munity house for the date previously
scheduled.
