Rural Free Delivery
BY RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON, d. C, March 25.-Sen-
ator Bankhead, of Alabama. is making
speech this afternoon in support of his
provement of public highways i'm certain
counties over which there are rural mail
deliveries. His bill provides that the
county and state shall appropriate two
thirds of the necessary money. the other
third to be expended from the federal
appropriation. The secretary of agricul-
tUre and postmaster general are to select
the roads on which the money is to be
expended. The scheme is purely expert
mental in character. says Senator Bank
head. who thinks the bill will be passed.
Senator Bankhead thinks the bill, IL
enacted, would result in permanent re-
forms in road administration and methods
Of construction and maintenance. as well
as i'm a certain mileage of improved
road
THE execution of the objects and pur-
poses of this BILL" said Senator Bank
head, should naturally fall to the de-
partment of agriculture, and, to render II
more effective, the cooperation of the
postoffice department is also provided
for. The office of public roads in the de-
partment of agriculture already has al
effective organization and a corps OF
trained highway engineers. who will be
able to carry out this work. BY utiliz-
ing the office of public roads, the instru-
ment for carrying out the provisions OF
this bill for the creation of a new bu-
reau will be avoided. and the costly eX-
penditure and unavoidable delay incl
dent to forming new organizations and
new lines of work will be eliminated.
I'm fact, this bill is TO ascertain the
!. extent of the broadening of the scope OF
the office OF public roads. and will in
crease it's usefulness along conservative
lines. with the added advantage of the
great benefit contemplated to the rura
delivery service"

MOUNT AETNA DISTRICT
IS DEVASTATED BY LAVA

CATANIA, March 25.-An Official re-
port upon volcanic disturbances in the
Mount Aetna district, made public today,
confirms the gravity of the situation.
but holds out hope that the worst is
over. The craters that may be proper
ly described as new, appear to be only
four in number These have opened at
the foot of Mount Castellazzo. four miles
in the air line from the summit or
Mount Aetna.
One of the four fresh craters is at a
spot called Tasca Albanelli. and though
not throwing out much lava, is the
noisiest of the four. The loud detona-
tons are largely responsible for terror
izing the population miles around. A
second crater, 600 feet higher, in place
known as Volta Sangirolamo and 1000
feet above the sea. is the most active of
the openings, emitting the greatest flood
of incandescent matter. AT Tasca Arena
is a third break, also very active. and
nearby is the fourth, showing a less Sc
riouS eruption.
DEATH AND RUIN
The four streams pouring out from
these craters have united at the foot
Of Mount Castellazzo, and formed great
river of lava that is bringing death
and desolation into the invaded districts.
Plants, trees, whole vineyards and Or
chards have been destroyed by the con-
Stunning flood This morning the lava
river had extended nine miles from the
source N
Even in this city there was little sleep
for anyone last night. The greatest
anxiety was felt for friends and rela-
tives and for property interests in the
threatened district.
In the path of the advancing flood the
people by thousands had abandoned their
homes by daylight this morning. The
roar of Mount Aetna continued without
interruption today and rain of cfnders
fell for miles distant. Several houses
have been destroyed and it is feared
If the flow does not cease soon the flood
will enter Borrelo.
PATHETIC SIGHT PRESENTED.
Caravans ofNpeasants carrying all their
transportable possessions are moving to
places OF safety and present pathetic
sight AT many homes this molten
mass has filled the cisterns and caused
destructive explosions.
During the last IS hours the emission
of lava, it is estimated, has amounted TO
ID 100000 cubic yards.
Professor Ricco. director of the Mount
Aetna observatory, advanced toe far into
the disturbed zone today and was caught
in a storm of cinders and was forced to
flee for his life.
Troops have been ordered out and valun-
teers from neighboring villages come to
aid the distressed. ..t.-

chase an old copy of the Koran, and
then he returned to his hotel. Shortly
after his arrival. Wally Bey, Moham-

of the Koran in Arabic, Illuminated in

serted because of the coloners interest in
the literature of Mohammedanism. Roose-
welt cordially thanked the hey and asked
the age of the books. which he was told
was at least two centuries.

asked numerous questions on various
subjects of local and international i'm

the Egyptian situation.
