VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS
CAN BE PREDICTED,
SAYS PROF. JAGGAR
HILO, Island of Hawaii, May 1 (by
Associated Press).—Predictions of vol
canic eruptions have been brought
within the realm of practical things,
white predictions of earthquakes and
a consequent great saving of human
life are within the range of possibility
in the near future, according to Dr.
Thomas A. Jaggar, Jr., director of the
Kilauea volcano observatory, near
here, who has just left for a tour of
New Zealnad and other South Pacific
islands.
Co-ordination of the work of
volcano and seismological observator
ies throughout the Pacific and fur
ther development of the system, to
gether with a study of the relation of
volcanic and earthquake activities in
the Pacific, are the main objects of
Dr. Jaggar’s tour.
Determination of tides in the rise
and fall of lava, similar to the tides
of the sea, is one of the achievements
of Dr. Jaggar at the Kilauea observa
torf*'
The volcanologist said before his de
parture that valuable observatory work
was being done in Japan, and that in
terest in New Zealand was increasing
More stations, better co-ordination of
work and extension of observations
are necessary, said the doctor, to ob
tain the complete data required for
exact determination of laws governing
volcanic and earthquake activities.

STUDENT PREACHERS
WILL DO MISSIONARY
WORK AMONG CAMPS
--
BUTTE, Mont., May 1 (by Associ
ated Press).—Theological students of
the United States are to be given an
opportunity to “try their hand” on
loggers and lumbermen of the Pacific
Norhtwest during the coming summer,
according to information received here
by B. V. Edworthy, field secretary for
Montana of the Inter-church World
Movement, from L. C. Fry, in charge
of the survey of special groups for the
movement.
A recent visit by Mr. Fry to lumber
camps of Washington, Oregon, North
ern California, Montana and Idaho de
veloped the need of religious workers
there, he said, and he arranged to
place a number of student preachers
for the summer months.
The relationship of the preachers
and the woodsmen would be more that
of fellow workers than ministers and
laymen, Mr. Fry stated, and opportuni
ties would be afforded for social serv
ice work as well as religious.
