PAGE TWO LIST OF THEORIES Readjustments Along Fault Planes North of City Is Deemed Most Likely Cause . of Continued Temblors By LFA'KItETTE S. ROPER Mining Engineer and Geologist (Written for United Press) HELENA, Mont. (UP) Speculation on the source and cause of earth quakes necessarily must vary wltb the data available on the geology of any section affected. ' In the Helena region but a small area has been studied and the ge ology mapped. This area does not embrace that section north of the Helena quadrangle which presents the most nrobable source or tne ioca earthquakes, assuming the disturb ances are due to readjustments aUng fault planes. A second possible source of rt.sturb an ces, one of deep-seated, niagmatlc origin, may lie In the renewal of long dormant volcanic actlvl-les of the geologically most recent period tlfat of the Tertiary rhyo'.lte laval flows and the daclte and '-.ndeslte dines, in point of geologic time, this period Is comparatively recent, and It Is suggested that the current earth qi i ukes are of this latter origin. We may confidently speculate on the souro of the shocks as one of readjustments along major fault planes, two of which are partly map. ped n the United States geological surveys of the region. Faults Mapped The accepted theory Is that, fault planes along which the rocks have been disrupted, one side thrusts up, the other down, relatively! along the Missouri river representing thousands of feet of dislocation, stresses exist at all times, cumulate until a point Is reached at which reslstenco gives away and areas of large mass move. These are followed by minor readjustments with their succeeding, generally milder, shocks. Some abnormal development may be sufficient to pull the trigger start ing the movement throughout the adjacent region, ' Initiated In one fault, the rocks along the walls of the other faults would be affected by the first shocTta, resulting In the dual, severe shocks and alno unusual suc cessions of minor shocks following each. Serious effects are not due to this or that section being "more severely hit" by the quake, but to the ground upon which such sections of the city, or Isolated buildings, have been erected. Found alio u Helps Thus, the wost side of Helena, built on bedrock, and business sections In which foundations were carried to bedrock, were not so seriously af footed as the area enst of Dry Gulch, up the slopes south of Lenox and Sixth Ward Valloy which are built on the beaches and stratified vol canic ash (hardpan), with Inter be ti ded water-filled Band and gravel of the "lake bottom. Those deposits am plify the vlgratlons set up at depths In the hard bedrock, as the upper stories of tall buildings are more af fected than the ground floors. Three Forks, built on the water-filled gravel beds of the river bottom deposits, was more seriously affected during the 1938 qunke been use of its founda tion. With the major adjustments ef fected by removal of the pentup strotutes In the rock formations, as suming the fault readjustment the ory, H Is reasonable to assume that a long quiescent period will follow, generations passing before a recur rence of the present distressing ex-. perienees.

O., where they once worked as young pharma cists. What Is tlU more unusual, each of these men William Sidney porter and Luns ford Richardson was to win the friendship of mil- O. Henry lions under a nr.me not his own. The first, William Sidney Porter, left the drug store counter at Greens boro to lead a colorful life of ad venture and to make himself under the pen name "O. Henry" America's greatest writer of short stories. He was followed at the drug coun ter by Lunsford Richardson who was to carve out a career of success which proved one of the notable ro mances of modern business. The story of these two men and the little Greensboro drug store has especial Interest for local people right now. Families In this vicinity are receiving, direct from areensboro. trial packages of colds-control aids 1 bearing the name "Vicks," which ; Lunsford Richardson made as world-, famous In his way as William Sidney ! Porter made the name "O. Henry." "O. Henry Apothecary" The Gay Nineties were Just around ! the corner when Will Porter started working in his uncle's drug storo. He was a reticent youth, but he had extraordinary skill as a cartoonist. Hather than ask customers their names, he drew their pictures. His uncle, always recognizing the like nesses, cl'targcu their purchases on the account books. Before long. Will's kindly wit and personal magnetism, together with his skill aa a chess player, made Dr. Porter's drug store tha social center of the town the only "club" the young people had. Many of the sketches he wrote about those frequenting the store have been preserved as mementoes of the days before the personality of Will Porter was submerged In that of "O. Henry," During bis five years of prescrip tion filling, he learned to know peo ple, and developed that deep and hu man understanding of character that gave his stories the magic touch of life. Because of these years, O. Henry Is called the "master pharmacist of Joy and pain" In what Is perhaps the best description of him ever written a short poem by Christopher Mor ley entitled "O. Henry Apothecary." When O. Henry left Dr. Porter's drug store for his career of travel and adventure, his place was taken by Lunsford Richardson, who was to make almost as romantle an achieve ment In the field of business. Although Lunsford Richardson like O. Henry simply started "be hind the counter" at the old Dr. Porter drug store, he was later to own this business and actively man ago It for 17 years. Unlike O. Henry, he had rocetved a thorough education in chemistry and pharmacy. He loved his profession, and studied It long hours after his store was closed. It was only natural that he should have gone on to success In the field of pharmacy. The Romance of a Business As Lunsford Richardson carefully compounded prescriptions for his customers, he loomed their problems as only a retail druggist can. He established there a sense of service to humanity in trou ble that was the guiding principle of his career. He know, by actual daily contact with people, the needs that those pre scriptions were de L. Richardion signed to fill. It Is small wonder that as the years passed, his skill as a pharma cist and chemist should have been embodied in simple, time-tested formulas that gradually extended nls fame beyond his friends and neigh bors. Soon through the mountains of western North Carolina were being MEDFORD MAIL The little Greensboro, N. C, drug store in which O. Henry held hie first job and Lunsjord Richardson started a career which was to become one of the romantic achievements of modern business. distributed the first blue jars of Vlcks VapoRub a preparation that has since become known throughout the world as the leading home treat ment for the common cold. Instead of giving his own name to this pro duct, he had given It the name "Vlcks" an old family name, short er and easier to remember than "Richardson." And so the name Vlcks was carried around the world, not only by this product, but also by the others which were later to share Its fame. Lunsford Richardson lived to see the ethics and skill of his years as a druggist expand Into a business whose products are now sold in drug stores throughout this country and In 68 foreign nations. His two sons now manage the Vlcks business. Un der their stewardship, Vlcks technical staff has developed not only new products specialized formulas for different types and Btages of colds but also a comprehensive plan for better control of colds. The success of the business started by Lunsford Richardson is Indicated by the simple fact that use of Vlcks products has steadily grown, until now over 43 million packages are used yearly In this country alone. How did this happen? It was in much the same way that O. Henry became known as a master of ro mance even in far nations of the earth. Good words spoken from friend to friend helped to win world-wide acceptance of the colds-control Idea pioneered by Lunsford Richardson. TO AID MILLIONS LONDON.
