Accurate Prediction of Quakes Possible Through Use of Seismogranh
Dr. Bailey Willis, cited as being the author of the book on earthquakes or earthquakes to large number of geology students in the chemistry lecture room yesterday at 4:50 p.m. Mr. Willis gave a lecture in his speech and showed as well the many places he had visited in his
During his speech Doctor Willis related many interesting experiences of his, to show different viewpoints in regard to earthquakes.
"Earthquakes are incidental happenings as a result of a long process, and not something of supernatural power," stated Doctor Willis.
His opening remarks dealt with the beliefs of early people in regard to earth tremors. He illustrated the Tibbels phenomena and went on to explain how different men went farther and farther in their investigation of earthquakes, and predict earthquake, and take preventative measures against loss of life and property. The earth is very elastic," declared Doches. In his next strain breaks, energy too great for measurement is released. These elastic rebounds are the quakes which are produced.
Using the Chilean and Californian earthquakes as examples, the speaker showed how an earthquake acted and the different types of tremors. Also he cited the various centers of earth movement as evidence of the number of incidents in regard to them.
The principle of the schmigraph which is an instrument that measure and locate earthquakes, was also explained by Doctor Wills.
"Do not be surprised if an earthquake occurs here in Kansas, as one may come at any time, although it is hard to predict. Those most affected by quakes, while tall buildings of light construction are subject to the least damage. Strongly built walls will guard against propensity to collapse of a quake," said Doctor Willis.
"It iteps no more to build a house rotected against the tremors than to make a dam," he said. "Oncrete and not hollow tile and the structure will be secure, he went on."
He concluded by telling of his personal experiences with earthquake, Doctor Willis has been in three of them. He told how they frightened people.

Hell Week Activities May Possibly Cost Life, Police Chief Warns
Some Prowler Might Be Shot by Roused House-Owners
"My idea of the situation is that some fraternity pledge is going to pay with his life for Hell Week," said Brent Johnson, a junior in a talk before the Editorial II class, in which he had responded to an invitation from the class to discuss sexual misconduct.
on Suspicion
"We receive a call from some part of town that there is a prowler and in most cases the owner of the house will take a shot at him if he has a gun. When we arrive at the house, we see him and he happens to run when we well at him, what would you expect us to do? We do not know him as a student; all we know is that he is a prowler and is attempting to escape from us. Unlikelyably, he shoots badly. Some night some one is going to be shot," he said.
Last year 35 organizations sent representatives to a meeting held at police headquarters. The deparses of the police department and country were thoroughly explained by the chief and Frank M. Dawson, men's student adviser. The representatives agreed to keep their accociation with own property, but this was not done.
Week, the police received a number of calls about prowlers, but made no arrests. The next morning Chief John told him that University students had been seen the night before doing things probably connected with Hell Week, remembering the agreement made last year, told the Chief that it would be best to take such students to the hospital. The next evening 31 pledges were taken to the station and detained until 8 o'clock the next morning when they were fired against the men and their names were merely turned over to the men's student adviser who then gave them the pledges. When asked how Hell Week could still be retained by the fraternities, Chief John said: "I believe that the only safe way to keep the custom is to allow the fraternity's own property. Also
"The people here expect too much (from us for the number of men which we have) to fail," John. "We should have at least 20 men to really police the city, at 12 per man."
The chief then answered some questions from the class relative to the general police situation in Lawrence, where two men were injured, eight of whom are available in the day and only four at night. The city is patrolled at night by the four policemen, riding in two cars owned by the officers. It can be easily seen that the force is entirely inadequate really to patrol the city. When several calls come in at the same time or near each other the police are on alert and take the most urgent one first.

Inability to Agree Threatens Failure of Havana Meet
Sub-Committee Deadlocker on Preamble for Union and Codification of Laws
Havana, Cuba, Feb. 19—Many delegates today believed that failure of the Pan-American Union sub-committee was unable for a Pan-American Union convention and the deadlock in the international law over states rights had jeopardized seriously the success of the sixth Pan-American converse
These two points are the principal topics of the agenda of the conference, it was pointed out, although United States delegates said failure to sign a code of international law would not mean failure of the conference.
The project of placing the Pan American Union on a convention basis was virtually in the discard today. The chief delegate of Argentina imbued the proposal with the power to any convention or resolution his proposal for economic co-operation must be included in the preamble. This is opposed by the sub-committee, and it appeared that the Argentine representative would not retreat from the project.
The sub-committee on public international law was reported still deadlocked today over the Mauritian report that they had reportedly important part of intervention.
