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.

Two World-Famous Careers
Started in This Drug Store
Pharmacists Won Wide
Renown Under Names
Not Their Own
The picturesque careera of twr, men
whose work was to become known
throughout the world, give a double
distinction to the little drug store
in Oreensboro, N.
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

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.
