FLOW OF LAVA
PARTLY CHECKED

CANTANIA, Sicily. March 26--Dcaplts
the fact that the lava that Is being
belched from more than dozen craters
in Mount Etna. increased in amount
to-day. the progress Of the molten river
down the southern slope OF the noun
tain was not so rapid
The main stream Of lava is now SO
huge that its progress has been partial
~ checked through the inability Of the
spouting craters to feed the stream
fast enough. Then, too. the cooling
edges OF the lava stream serve as temp
orary barriers until fresh accumula-
tions OF lava avalanche themselves to
further limits.
II is impossible for anyone TO get
nearer than $50 feet 70 the lava stream
on account Of the intense heat
Believing that the check TO the pro-
gress Of he fiery flood has been in
answer TO their prayers and the scat
toring Of holy relics in the progress
OF the stream the people increased their
activities to-day and religious process

A MODERN ST. FRANCIS.
BY EDWIN A..NYB.

Some of the newspapers take occa-
sion to gibe at James Eads Howe and
his "hobo convention"
Howe is one of the remarkable men
Of this generation. He is the grandson
Of James Eads, the great engineer who
devised and built the Eads bridge at
st. Louis and the Mississippi river jet
ties.
James Eads Howe inherited the for
tune his famous grandfather won, a
fortune Of several millions.
He gave away every cent Of it.
Though he was comparatively poor
at the time Of his inheritance, he re-
fused TO touch any part of the money,
assigning it over to trustees for the
benefit Of humanity.
That was several years ago.
Meantime he works as a common la
borer, carrying his dinner bucket TO
and fro. associating constantly with
workingmen and seeking to aid them
in every way.
Once a year he calls a convention.
Some who attend are "hoboes," at
tracted by the free banquet which is a
part Of Howe's program. But many
others are self respecting men out OF
employment.
Howe's motto is, THE manless job
for the jobless man.
He is trying to induce the govern
ment TO establish employment agen.
cies in the large cities, after the man
ner Of Germany and France; also, in
so far as possible, to colonize poor fam
lilies on chsap lands.
who can deny the worthiness OF
such aims?
Like Tolstoy, who labored at the
peasants task in peasant garb that he
might teach and guide, so James Ead'
Howe lives the workingman's life
does the daily task of the common la
borer. that he may be in touch will
those he yearns to help.
He is a man Of culture, 10 modest
and there is about him no mark of thu
crank.
For years Mr.. Eads has lived up T.
his ideals.
It may not be your way of doin
things or mine, but it is ChrlstlikC
st. Francis threw his wealth on tn
altar of St. Peters and took upon hin
self the vow of poverty. James Fad
Howe has laid his fortune on the alta
Of humanity and lives life of poV
erty that he may help his toilln
brethren.
If all of US lived up to our ideals a
sincerely as this man. heaven woul

until a dozen or more students were taken

off and so were athletic and other events
which had been scheduled. s4
The disease gained such Roadway in the
institution that Chancellor Avery adopted
heroic methods to prevent 1t breaking up
the school. He issued an order for every
student to be vacclnated and for several
days physicians we're kept busy.
In the meantime those students in the

That less than 1000 graduates of Bryn

than half of the 81 100000 fund with which
they hope to endow their alma mater on
the twenty fifth anniversary of It's found
ing, next June, has been announced by the
Bryn Mawr Alumnae association.
Backed by husbands, brothers and friends
Of women's education throughout the coun-
try, the women have succeeded in match
ing, dollar for dollar, a conditional gift of
$3.50, 900 from the general educational board
and have substantially provided for wlpng
out the present $4,000 indebtedness OF the

months the 100000 endowment necessary
to perpetuats Bryn Mawr, without lowering
It's standards or increasing its tuition fees,
they are organizing systematic canvass

A special committee OF graduates has be-

and alumnae heads. the drafting of every
Bryn Mawr woman as an active agent to

such workers are now canvassing sections

Let us start with the average boy of 16,
and assume that he is worth to himself in
earning power 5000. This is his potential
capital-himself viewed only as an economic
proposition. At this point we will also as
sumo that he is as yet neither skilled in
any craft, nor shop-trained, nor has he
had the benefit of any trade school, or
even been in any school of technology, or
a college. Hence, four possibilities lie be-
! fore him. First to remain an unskilled
| laborer; second, to get a shop training;
third. to go to trade school; fourth, to
acquire a liberal education. Start four boys,
then. on the four lines and let us see what
influence and training of an equal sort
actually has as measured by money re-
turns. l. The Unskiled LRborer-On the
average he is earning 81 q week at the end
of his 18th year; So week year later,
and his advance continues, with regularity
to his 23d year when he Is worth as capt.
| tai to himself. $4,000 and he has a wage
earning capacity of SO a week. But there
he reaches the highest economic value of
unskllled labor, which will not significantly
! increase in value however many years he
| adds. '
! 2. The Shop Trained worker-Even his
narrower rule Of thumb training pays good
interest from the start. In six years he has
passed the unskilled laborer; by the time
he is "a, however, he has reached his maxi
mum; his potential capital is $4,000 and
his wage $15.20 a week This is the highest
point reached by the shop-worker.
! g. The Trade School Young Mantle
early broadening Of his work Immediately
brings better wages. Note on the diagram
that before he is IS he has forever distanced
the unskilled worker, Before he is 81 he
has also left the shop-worker behind him.
| When he lie "a he has an earning power of
S22 week. He reaches his highest valua-
| ton at 81 years and here he finds the high
est point in the trade school economic
horizon.
| l. The Technical and Literally Educated
Boy-FOr several years this young man
lags behind all three of the other classes.
| When he is 10 the unskilled laborer Is ahead
OF him. Not until he is 26 does he catch up
| with the shop-tralned boy or rise above
| the economic horizon of the trade school
| man. But what then? All three of his
competitors have already reached their
earning limit. Their horizons are fixed
but from that 18th year and its potential
capitalization Of s22, 900 the college trained
man shoots up in seven years more to an
earning capacity of $40 a week, and has
not as yet reached his full economic horl-
zon. A liberal education has added
potential capitalization OF $4,000 over all
competitors drom $4,000 TO $4,000. Educa-
| ton took him at the age OF 10 at 81 600, 1t
leaves him al 80 years at $4,000.
These facts are not the guesses Of an
| educational enthusiast. but are the logical
results of a careful scientific investigation
by one thoroughly competent to make it.
