work for the produce merchants.
Both city and county officers told
them they must not dump the garbage

HEARD AROUND
THE CORRIDORS
By THE EAVESDRCPPER
TO SEE ACTIVE VOLCANO
is ITALIAN TOURISTS DESIRE

A man who is in search of vol
cano and is willing to travel around
the world to find one is the unusual
visitor at the Alexandria hotel
He is Emmanuel Freedlander, a man
of means, scientist and volcano hun
ter of Naples Italy. He has come to
America with no other purpose in
view and he has time for nothing else.
He is a little man with a shaggy
beard and whiskers, a broad, intel
lectual forehead and intense deep-set
eyes. When he talks he shakes his
shaggy mat of hair and his words
come in short, quick sentences.
Since boyhood his chief friend has
been VesuVius, and on many occasions
he has helped Mattercia hold down the
lid of the old mountain His first stop
on this side of the water was at Mex
leo, where he looked over the ground
in the hope of discovering an eruption.
He gave up the attempt as useless de-
Gliding that Old Mexico may go undis-
turbed for generations to come.
From here he will go to Hawaii to
study the Mauna Loa volcano, which
he says is the largest in the world.
When he is not studying this busy lit
tie scientist is writing, and he does not
accept Interruptions kindly.

"A volcano is like a medical case:
each one has to be studied differently,
for each has its own peculiarities, and
as a doctor diagnoses the symptoms
of his patient so the scientist who is
interested in eruptions diagnoses the
conditions OF the volcanoes he
studies.

Are Helping Needy in Practical
Manner in Vicinity of
Utah Street

who have interested themselves in the
welfare of the poorer Mexicans in the
Utah street district are experimenting

clothing which has been collected by

nominal price-hats having been sold
from three cents up and shoes at five
cents pair.
The hospital will be located at 1853
Rio street. The lumber has been do
mated as has also the carpenter work,
and the plumbing will be done at cost.
A sewing machine has been presented
to the hospital, and about $40 raised
in cash for the project.
The largest room of the cottage, with
the ordinary conveniences of a sick
room, will be used as the hospital, while
the sewing room will be open to the
women of the district who wish to
avail themselves of the opportunity.
The district nurse will care for the
patients. The bath room will be open
to any one wishing to use 1t when the
hospital Is not In use, ana VIII be the

ing room and viii form a Spanish class.
1t is expected the hospital will be
completed about the middle of April
and the women OF the neighborhood
will be invited to inspect the building.
