DR. JAGGAR STARTS ALASKA EXPEDITION Method of Predicting Quakes Is Subject of Geographic Society Project. After conferring with officials of the National Geographic Society. Dr. Thomas A. Jaguar, the scientist, who for a quar ter of a,century has rushed to volcanic eruptions as a fireman responds to an alarm, has left Washington to lead the society’s expedition to the Mount Pavlof sector of the Alaskan Peninsula and Aleutian Island volcanic chain. President Gilbert Grosvenor and the research committee of the Geographic Society went over the final plans for the expedition with Dr, Jaggar last week before the latters departure. By intensive studv of this longest battery of craters in the world it is hoped to devise wavs of predicting volcanic erup tions and earthquake shocks and thus save millions of dollars' worth of prop erty and thousands of lives. More Congestion. Dr. Jaggar is not an alarmist. Like other leading scientists who have de voted intensive study to these disturb ances, he believed there are no more earthquakes now 7 than there have been In the past., but that more people are living in congested area where these disturbances occur. Dr. Jaggar will sail from Bellingham. Wash., and the expedition will go ashore at Squaw Harbor. Unga Island, which will be the base of tliis Summer’s explorations. Opposite Unga Island, on he taper ing end of the Alaskan Peninsula, is Mount Pavlof. the “Mount Vesuvius" of the AlasKa-Aleutian chain. Southwest of Pavlof is the towering Mount Dut ton peak, piercing the clouds at nearly 8.000 feet, named only last Summer ffter being explored by Dr. Jaggar Back of Pavlof are the so-called Pin ftacle Mountains, with their snowy sky line. and rreas abounding in hot springs, j A hot crater also has been reported But this region is unmapped. It will be ex plored. Few Americans realise that in the huge are of volcanoes between North America's loftiest peak. Mount McKin ley. out to Attu. farthest flung of the Aleutians, lies the greatest volcanic chain, one of the most amazing scenic wonderlands, and the greatest geologi cal area of its kind in the world. 45 Volcanoes. There are at least 45 active vol canoes in the chain. Within 600 miles j of the Aleutian coast line there are some 150 harbors, unmapped and un charted. This Summer's work will make only a beginning of the exploration, and the mapping of interior and coasts, the lat ter work, perhaps, being the most es sential of all because, until it is done, no commercial vessel or passenger ship dare navigate in these waters. The expedition also will make observ ations of the people in the region: the north shore Eskimos and the south ahore Aleuts, who, with the Scandina vian fishermen and trappers, and the employes of American canneries, make tip the sparse population of the island pa’.h way, which once was the great mi gration route of Russian adventurers, who made their way across bleak Si beria and then pushed onward into j North America In quest of new fur j worlds to conquer. “CRUSADE WITH CHRIST.” Plans for inauguration of a “crusade with Christ” will be outlined, and the ! possibility of bringing the International * Christian Endeavor convention here in 1931 will be discusaed at a meeting of j the presidents of local Christian En- ! deavor Societies in the Y. M. C. A. to night. The presidents will be guests of the executive board of the Washington Christian Endeavor Union. The “crusade with Christ” is to be a national movement carried out in ac cordance with resolutions adopted at the recent Christian Endeavor conven tion here.

April 9.—Rescued by forest rangers from a narrow ledge 2,000 feet high, where darkness had lrapped her and her girl companion during a trip through Yosemlte Valley. Miss Edna May Wilbur, daughter of Secretary of the Navy Curtis D. Wilbur, was home here today none the worse for her thrilling experience. Miss Wilbur went to the park with a party of friends. Site and Miss Ona E. Ring attempted late Saunday to de scend the snow-covered trail from Glacier Point to the floor of the val ley. Caught by darkness, they lost the trail and presently found themselves on the narrow' ledge, whence they feared to attempt further progress. With a biting mountain wind tugging at their clothing, the girls huddled against the face of the cliff and called for help. Tourists in the valley. 2.000 feet below-, heard their cries and noti fied the forest rangers. Five men reached the girls shortly before midnight, and after strenuous efforts, succeeded in hauling them up to the trail with ropes. Once back on the trail, they were guided down to safety and left for home after resting. Both girls are school teachers here. OBSERVE GREEK FREEDOM.
