The University of Maine will meet her deadliest rival, Bowdoln, In the annual games of the Boston Athletic Association in the Boston Arena. The policy of the B. A. this year ha been to cut down on the number of relay races and to book only what looks llks the best from tha point of rivalry and competition.

There la no outt about the rivalry In tha Malne-Bowdotn affair and alnce both team have been running in good form ln practice it looks like a close and Interesting race. Both team have their share of supporters ln Greater Boston, and the runners ere assured of cheering on all aides. The basketball team took Boston Colies sgaln ln a close gam at the Rangor Cltv Hmll. Though the' game was close ther la no doubt that the Maine basket toesers were superior to the maroon end gold five both In team work and Individual ability. Murphy and Mlnaben of the visitors ahowel up well, the former, giving a good demonstration of fbul shootfni; Cahill, Holmes and Berg went grea for Maine, and Newell and Horsman were steady player.

Tha relay race was won by Maine. psTolby entered alx men, aa did Bate, but Bowdoln was able to aend only one entrant due to the pressure of the mid-year examinations at ths Brunswick Institution.

Tonight theres going to bs another of thoes big parties at the Bijou Theatre, where everybody goes and has a good time, and lots of it Since Manager Stern began special feature nights to start the week theres been no such day as "blue Monday on the calendar. Tonight In addition to the Keith vaudeville stars on the regular bill, there will be a fine local feature In which Uve Bangor boys will appear, and It Is safe to say that the hit made by Kanes Jan band last week will be repeated. The regular bill embraces some features of unusual interest.

China Is one of the poorest producers of theatrical material In the world. The United States find Australia are thfi two greatest circus creating countries on the face of the earth, and. Europe leads in the production of vaudeville novelties. Therefore an announcement more or less extraordinary Is the coming of the Chung Hwa Three, Chinas only exponents of harmony and fun. The lure of fame, the glamour of the limelight, the lust of applause of the world, these are all time worn reasons for the starting of a stage career, but it has remained for the Chung Hwa Three to be "shot" into the theatrical world from the guns of the Chinese Revolution.

The revolution stopped money cumins from home, so the Chinese lads. E. A. Don sang, James Oh Chung and H. K.

Liang, had to go to work. They got places lh a San Francisco revue and did so well that vaudeville claimed them and hers they are at the Bijou. They re fine singers, their harmony being declared wonderful. In the dim days beyond recall there was an idea, since exploded that women did not possess a sense of Among those who helped to vanquish the thought are Bertlo Herron and Bennie Gaylord, who can get as many laughs to the minute as any comedian THEEARTHQUAKES Scientists Now Able to Locate and Forestall Eerths Reactions. WASHINGTON, Jan.

28 While man can never hope to harness the forces of nature to the extent of preventing, or even foretelling, earthquakes, It Is not impossible, says the Carnegie Institution of Washington, that scientists may be able to devise methods of forestalling their disastrous effects by the selection of safer locations for cities and by appropriate methods of construction. Earthquakes have occurred ever since the crust of the globe began to form. Indeed, the condition of un-stabillty Is the earth's normal one and man long has suffered In consequence. To say then that what mankind has characterized as a phenomenon which Is as sure and as inevitable as an eclipse of the sun, might be eluded finally, seems almost an Impossibility. Yet such thorough studies of the nature of quakes and their occurrence have been made In recent years that In future years, construction of great buildings, dams, and even cities, may be affected by recent discoveries in geology.

Earthquakes are a natural occurrence In certain regions where the mountains are alive, Carnegie officials declare. There are districts, like the Atlantic Coast, where the mountains are dead, but around the Pacific and In a great belt which reaches across Asia and the Mediterranean, the mountain, still are growing. In their growth large masses comprising many thousand cubic miles of rock are pressed against each othv. hut are held by friction until the strain becomes too great. Then they slip and what Is called an earthquake occurs.

This la the modern theory of earthquakes. It has been developed through prolonged studies and demonstrated by observations many minor quakes and of the lines along which they occur. The earthquake plane is often spoken vof as a fracture but It Is really not a break, a recent statement of the institution declares. It is the surface between great masses which never have been united, but which for ages have been slipping past each other; and where this plane comes to the surface of the earth there Is a line called an earthquake rift. The greatest of these rifts in the United State so far as known, extends along the coast ranges of California for a distance of six hundred miles.

It passes Just west of San Franclae to the east of Los Angeles, and disappears in the Gulf of -California. Along the San Andreas rift, as It is called, earth shocks have occurred at different times In different sections. South of that stretch for some 300 miles there has been no movement since 1S57 when a severe shock occurred, the mark of which may still be traced across the desert plains like an irrigation ditch. Still further south there have been several recent shocks, but none of great violence, although there Is evidence ol considerable activity In the section east and west of Los Angeles. For some years now, the Carnegie Institution has been deep In the Btudj of earthquakes, and only recently or committee in seismology, calling on the co-operation of many other scientists to aid In the research.

Its activities (lave resulted In the discovery of many faettf of practical importance to mankind In this connection. The cooperation of the United States Navy was obtained In making a depth measuring survey over a large area adjacent to the California coast, and while the survey was mads to find the trend of earthquake riffs. It ret suited in Important data for Marines and map mukers. Through the financial assistance of the Carnegie Foub-dation, of New York, Dr. Bailey Willis, seismologist of Stanford ynl-versity was sent by the Institution to Chile to study the effects of the recent earthquake there and survey, the aim being to arrive at the probable causes.

It might be asked what value to mankind will result from the expenditure of great sums for the study of a natural occurrence which. It Is admitted, can never be prevented and which may continue to exact Ita toll of human lives and property. In view of the fact that scientists can now locate the certain lines along which quakes have occurred and seem sure to occur again in future they are able to speak of lire earthquake rifts as they speak of live volcanoes. It Is known by the form of the volcano or by the occurrence of eruptions within historical time that It Is potentially or actually active, and much th same may be said of the earthquake rifts. There are lines of special danger on which no schoolhouse.

skyscraper or dam should be built. They should be avoided, as far as possible, by railroad lines, bridges, aqueducts and other public works, and yet It happens that they often run through valleys where such works are suggested by the conditions of the ground. As long as builders remain ignorant of their position they run the risk of Inviting destruction, It was added; but it Is not; difficult bv. proper study to locate these lines of danger on a map and to make the Information public for the benefit of engineers and others. Indeed, there Is now being published an earthquake rift map of the state of California, showing the lines of active rifts and also of faults that are supposed to be Inactive, as a result of the workfi carried on In co-operation with the Institution's advisory committee.

That Is how the engineers who laid out the new water supply line for San Francisco were able, to remove It from the former line which followed an active rift for miles, and locate It along a mountain range, ahers, If It moves at all, wilj move as a block and not become dislocated or destroyed. A special development In flre-flsht-Ing apparatus, shown and described In the August Issue of Popular Me-chainsrl Magaxlne, Is the Are engine with a detschsbls pumping; unit for use where the source of water supply ts a river or a lake. The gasoline engine pf the truck drives an elecxrlo generator, which supplies current to motors of which on la used for driving tb pum i i stands out prominently. The story deals with life In an average American family where a beautiful daughter, who knows she Is beautiful, tries to rule the family and nearly wrecka.it and sends father to prison In her longing for finery like other girls have. Advance reports from all sections of the country term this production a real matfTerplece of the screen.

The Park program includes, also, comedies and News features. Advt. who has ever trod the boards. The Misses Herron and Gaylord call themselves To Corking Girls. They offer a skit that has no beginning and not much of an entjlng.

It Is Just good banter, a few songs but it contains more fun that the best comedy ever written by the most famous author. Some dare devil has always gone forward to contribute a new sensation to a public thoroughly calloused to deeds of daring. Not so years ago If a man walked across the street on a rope stretched from the tops of two buildings, the publln stood with open mouths in amazement. When this ceased to thrill, a new form of dare devil came to light the form of a parachute Jumper, a man who would go two or three thousand feet In the air In a balloon and then drop to the ground In a parachute. About the time this sort of thing was losing ita novelty, the aeroplane and the movies came Into existence.

Then sensational feats began to pyramid, but just as the public thought It was sensation proof, along came Johnny Reynolds. Johnny Is a human fly. He has climbed steeples and promenaded the fronts of tall buildings all over the country, and he will do some tall clfcnblirg at the Bijou. Betty Donn Is known as the girl with the velvet volce.v Velvet Is soil and smooth and lustrous and beautiful. So Is Mlta Donns voice.

Miss Donn doesnt claim to be a prlma donna, although her vocal range Is of that quality. She is the possessor of a fine voles and uses that voice to sing lilting, likable songs. Of course, her voice Is the Important factor but second In Importance Is Miss Donns appearance and personality, Clark, Payton Elliott are singing add dancing comedians, and L. A.

But either a little bird whispered to the federal and sheriffs enforcement squad or the latter sus-ptcioned what might happen, for the Crossman place was given the once over late Saturday night by a prohibition agent and a deputy sheriff who discovered two gallons of alcohol therein. Crossman was arrested and Jailed, but managed to secure ball.
