Most Important Happen
ings of the World
Told in Brief.
the EARTHQUAKE.

Reports from the earthquake-strick
en- district of southern Italy and Sicily
Indicate that about 100000 persons
perished in the appalling disaster. In
Messina and Reggie alone the dead
number 10000. Another severe shock
completed the destruction of Messina
and it was feared killed more persons.
The survivors were reported to be suf.
sering terribly for food, clothing and
surgical attendance. The king and
queen personally aided the victims. 1t
was feared many Americans persisted
as there were 80 in one Messina hotel
The report of the death of Consul
Cheney and his wife was confirmed
The American Red Cross society voted
$4,000 TO the relief fund, J. Pierpont
Morgan sent $4,000 and the king OF
Italy gave $4,000,
Wireless reports from the Strait OF
Messina, received at Rome, stated that
the Lipari islands, group of vol.
canic islands in the Mediterranean,
near the coast of Sicily, have disap-
peared. The total population of the
group numbers $4,000 and must In
evitably have persisted. The Italian
government, aided by other nations,
devoted its efforts to relieving the
starving, suffering survivors of the
earthquake. No definite word of the
fate of Americans was received. The
United States supply ship Celtic sailed
from New York with cargo of food
and supplies for the Italians that had
been destined for the Atlantic fleet.
Large sums of money were collected
and forwarded by the Red Cross asso-
citation.
Good progress was made with rellef
work in southern Italy and Sicily,
many soldiers and sailors being util'
.zed, and hundreds Of refugees being
taken to Naples and other cities. The
report of the destruction of the Ii.
pari islands was unfounded. Two
more earthquake shocks were felt at
Messina. The king and queen were
tireless in the work of aiding the suf-
fering. American contributions were
steadily and rapidly growing Taor-
nina, where there were many Ameri
cans, was uninjured.

Restore Land From Sewage.

Wesley Green, secretary Of the
State Horticultural association, is
advocating complete change in the
system of disposing of the sewage of
great cities. He claims it is an eco
nomic crime to turn the sewage into
the streams and lakes of the coun-
try, not to mention possible diseases
from the contamination of the waters.
He believes and will advocate meals
of turning this sewage back to the
lands, in some system by which the
annual waste may be stopped, and
the land of the country restored. This
system has been tried in a small
way at the state hospital for tuber.
culosis at Iowa City, where large
tract of land has been underlaid with
tile. The sewage from the hospital
is conveyed to the tile and seeps
through it to the surface The meth
cd, while in the experimental stage
only, has proved a great advantage,
and the plant may be increased to
cover larger acreage.
