WILL FURNISH THE MONEY.
Senator Martin, Chairman Of the Sen
ate Appropriations Committee
Declares Congress is Ready.

Washington, April 29.-"President
Wilson has but to say the word, and
we will furnish him with any amount
of money he may desire for the sue
cessful prosecution of war;" declared
Senator Martin, OF Virginia, chairman
of the Senate Appropriations Com
Inlittees. He added that he spoke the
min&s of the leaders Of the majority
in both Houses on that point.
"There will be no limit upon the
war funds available if the United
States be driven to restore civil order
in Mexico by force Of anrE.
GAS yet I have had no intimation
from the President that any appro-
priation will be nee:ed," continued the
chairman. "Until it shall become evil
dent that money will be required to
conduct military operations nothing
will be done here in regard to rails
ing money for such an emergency.
"But that does not mean that we
are not ready for any call that may
come. If President Wilson should tell
US that he wanted hundreds Of mil
lions before tomorrow we would vote
them today"
Senator Martain refused to discuss
the means that would be employed to
finance a military campaign, should
the need arise at this crisis.

GROWTH.

A few years ago the "movies -
were a freak sideshow feature. Now
they represent a settled business of
tremendous proportions, representing
an investment close to 5000, 900 900, EN-,
ploying many factories and several
hundred thousand people, appealing di-
rectly to millions of men and women
and children in all part of the world.
They are a factor in foreign as well as
domestic business. We are now eu
porting film at the rate of more than
sixteen million feet per month, and our
imports aggregate about four and a
half million monthly. The United
States produces - per cent Of the
world s output of motion picture film.
The manufacturing end of the industry
is a great big industry in itself Then
there is the distributing industry, and
the theatrical branch of the business.
The growth in 10 years from a freak
toy to an enormous world business is
phenomenal.

An Insectless Town.

Greensboro, n. c., boasts that it is
the only city in the United States
which has neither flies nor mosquitoes
1t began the work of banishing flies
by strictly enforced ordinance, pro
viding heavy penalties against any
citizen permitting stable or other
refuse to remain on his premises more
than one week. That cleared out the
flies, and then the city turned It's at
tention to preventing the breeding Of
mosquitoes. After each rainstorm, and
before mosquitoes can propagate, the

This plan has worked so wen that
mosquitoes are said to have no chance
for their lives in Greensboro.

INDOOR WORKER AND HEALTH.

The somewhat frequent indispositions to
which President Wilson is subject are
noted with regret and some uneasiness.
He has been more or less upset several
times during the past eight months. So
slight an exposure as lower temperature
encountered in an automobile ride has
Just laid him up for a day or two.
The Presidents experiences are very
like those that most men of sedentarv
habits have to meet. 1t is true that a
president has to encounter an extraordi-
nary nervous strain. Yet the physical
conditions of his work, like ventilation.
etc, must be exceptionally favorable.
Most men give slight attention to meas
Wes OF health preservation. They would
not hesitate to work extra hours a dav if
they saw some addition to their income
in it. But ten minutes a day for simple
gymnastics that might greatly increase
their working capacity are impossible.
If it pays Mr.. Wilson, with the ire
mendous pressure on his time, to give a
half-hour or more a day to a physical cul-
ture trainer, surely it would pay the ordi-
nary man to devote a little time daily to
physical exercise.
Few people today are good walkers.
Country people take pride in their horses
or motor cars. They often look down on
people who enjoy tramping, as to be
pitied for their inability to own horse
flesh. City people usually look at a mile
walk as prohibitive. \ whole tribe OF
lawn mowers and gardeners springs up in
any large town, to do the work formerly
done by hOuseholders
Probably the hours President Wilson
has spent golfng have been more effective
than all that his trainer has been able tC
do. Not every one can join a golf club Oh
enter gymnasium classes. But every on,
can walk or take simple calisthenics MOI
is it necessary to buy handsome system
of painted chest weights either

REGARDS LASSEN PEAK AS
A TREACHEROUS MENACE.
Government Geologist Suspicious of Its
Recent Volcanic Activity.

In report to the United States
geological survey Geologist J. S. Dill
Ter writes of the Lassen peak eruption.
Lassen peak is the southern end of the
Cascade range. 1t stands between the
Sierra Nevada on the southeast and
the klamath mountains on the north
west. Its lavas erupted in past ages
reach the Sacramento valley on the
one side and on the other form a part
of the vast volcanic field, one of the
greatest in the world, that stretches
far across California, Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho to the Yellowstone
National park. OF all portions of the
Cascade range Lassen peak still re
tains the largest remnant of its once
vigorous volcanic energy.
with successive eruptions," says
Mr. Diller, 1.-The new crater is enlarg-
ing. June 20, when Mr.. B. f. Loomis
and | visited it, it was 400 feet long
and 100 feet wide with a depth of not
over 100 feet.
mo definite molten products have
been found in connection with the re
| elected dust, as far as can be judged
from an examination with small
| pocket lens, is disintegrated or pulver-
| lied dacite, perhaps in part decom-
| posed. The quartz and apparently also
the CLASSY feldspar are bright, but the
| hornblende, augite and mica are. of
course, not so abundant in the dacite
and are less evident. An examination
with a photographic microscope CON
firms the conclusion that the dust is
the product of the pulverizing action of
the explosive gases on the rocks
through which they are escaping and
not the result of the explosive expan-
sion of gases in a liquid lava.
THAT heat has recently arisen in the
core of Lassen peak is evident from
the fact that, whereas it was once
cold, now it is hot and steaming.
When E. E. Hayden and l were on the
mountain in July, 1888, and slid down
the 1000 foot snow bank into Hat
creek on our way to Yellow butte
there was no sign of heat in the sum
NIT of Lassen peak. The rocky sum
NIT of the peak, struck by many thun-
derbolts during storms and superficial
ly fused here and there by the light
ming to fulgurite, is still as it was then
and the little lake is there as in 1888
but the heat and the crater are new
Mr.. Rushing tells me that these new
features appeared with the first erup
ton. But the fact that the other hot
places about the mountain are not ye
perceptibly hotter indicates that tn,
rise of temperature is local and does
; not, at least as yet, affect the mountain
mass. Time alone can tell what Las
sen is going to do

WOMAN A REBEL COLONEL.
She Has Been In Thirty two Fights
and Twice Been Wounded.

Official announcement has been made
that Sonora Ramonas Il. Flores has

tionalists and attached to the brigade

took his place, remained loyal during
the Orozco revolution and when the
Madero administration was destroyed
became a Constitutionalist
She has taken part in thirty-two bat
ties and ENGAGEMENTS and has twice
been wounded. She comes from the
state of Sinaloa, where her children
reside with her mother. She is known

Nature with all her infinite ingenuity

owner of the face, this is relatively an
unimportant matter, but to the owner

the slightest physical force in the

hundreds e millions of times more in

In proportion to her population and

making a creditable record in the mat
ter of improved highways. She has
several excellent state boulevards, to
say nothing of her cross sections. This

natives do not as yet fully understand
the meaning of this and tourists from
outside the state are still more at sea.
But being interpreted to the traveller,
a blue band means that he is on the
west side road; a green one is the desig-
nation of the Merrimac Valley road; a
red one the east side highway, and so
forth, each color being bordered with

give this plan publicity and then tour

Martin Brown as Newspaper Owner

(Barre Times.)
\ great deal of significance may be
attached to the fact that Martin A.
Brown, the Democratic chief adviser as
to distribution of official preferment in
Vermont, has purchased the weekly
newspaper called the Deerfield Valley
Times and printed at Wilmington IN
southern Vermont, where the new own,
er makes his Vermont home; and
again perhaps Mr.. Brown simply sees
good business opportunity and
promptly 9rasps it. You may draw your
own conclusions regarding the purchase
However, considerable bias to the line
of reasoning over the purpose of the
purchase is lent by the general under
standing that the newspaper field about
Wilmington is not so fertile as to give
promise Of great returns, although it
may be a fairly good field of operation
as Vermont country newspaperdom
does. But suffice it to say that Mr..
Brown now has an undoubted organ for
the dissemination OF his political
claims-something which all politicians
cannot afford to have, much as they
would perhaps enjoy it.

Candidate Prouty's Attitude.



Candidate Prouty makes his attitude
pretty clear in letter printed in this
issue. In the main his views arc
those of the liberal man who thinks
for himself. There are many who will
not agree with him in favor of
national prohibition even while it is
apparently coming within a very few
years in this country. He favors the
referendum, but halks at the initiative
and is a supporter of short term cleo
tions or appointments for judges in
stead of a recall-on this issue advo-
eating precisely what The Banner has
been urging for several years. He is
behind the times in favoring employers
liability instead Of workmen : compen-
sation as the latter is much better for
both workingman and employer. On the
tariff his answer Is a little indefinite
and incomplete, but Of course it is i'm
possible to cover a great question like
the tariff in a paragraph. In the mat
ter of railroad and corporation control
Mr.. Prouty is on familiar ground and
his views are thoroughly sound. The
voters should read this letter from Mr.
Prouty as it is evidently the platform
on which he is candidate for the sen
ate this year.

Or from tree to tree they'd fit,
And the bugs came Tipping, Hopping

All the world enjoyed a playtime
Dancing to a tango tune
And they say the waves are dancing
Meath the summer skies so blue.

AS they turn and glide anew.
With a strange. fantastic notion
/ avert my dazzled gaze
AS / find the very ocean
Falling for the tango craze.
