EIGHT TOURISTS
HAVE CLOSE CALL
Terre Haute and Cairo Resi-
dents in Machines, Which
Collide Near Presumption.

Eight people. four residents of Terre
Haute, Ind, and four of Cairo, Ill, had
narrow escapes from death late yes
terday afternoon, when two automo-
biles collided on a dangerous Hill about
10 miles south of Rock Island, near the
picnic 81 ounds ut PreemptIon.
The Terre Haute machine was being
driven up the grade and Cairo car in
the opposite direction. Owing to a
curve in the road, the drivers were not
able to see each other from any great
distance apart.
AS the two cars came closer togeth-
er, a motorcyclist driving speedily on
his machine passed between the cars
causing a cloud of dust.
Not until both autos were almost up
OF each other did the drivers become
aware of their danger. Both acted
quickly and only the tenders of the
machines struck. On either side of the
road is a deep ditch and it was only
by quick work that serious injury or
death was avoided.

lied dacite perhaps in part decompos-
ed. The quartz and apparently also
the CLASSY feldpar 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 miscrope confirms
the conclusion that the dust is the pro
duct of the pulverizing action OF the
explosive gases on the rocks through
which they are escaping, and not the
result of the explosive expansion OF
gases in liquid lava.
THAT heat has recently risen IN the
core of Lassen Peak is evident from
the fact that whereas it was once cold
now it is hot and steaming. When Z.
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 summit of Lassen peak.
The rocky summit of the peak, struck
by many thunderboults during storms
and .superficially fused here and there
by the lightning to fulgerite, is stu 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 thal
these new features appeared with tne
first eruption. But the fact that otner
hot places about the mountains are not
yet perceptibly hotter indicates that
the rise of temperature is local ana
does not at least as yet affect inc
mountain mass. Time alone can zen
what Lassen is going to do. The voF
cano may subside to its former que
scence. But we must not forget tnat
it was only the top Of old Fesuvius
that was blown off to make Mount
Somma and the Vesuvius OF To-Day
Krakatoa blew up from the very pase
with tremendous effect. There seems
no good reason at present to fear
Krakatoan outbreak at Lassen peak
but the part of wisdom dictates q close
watch.

On the following day at a. m,
another eruption occurred and on June

smaller fragments accumulated about
the crater to a depth of several feet.
The dust and sulphurous gases carried
southwark by the wind were observed
at Mineral, the forestry station, and
the dust was noted five miles beyond.
Forest rangers who were in the neigh
borhood of the summit during The
eruption heard the rushing steam and
the falling rocks but report no rum

shocks, electrical phenomena or great
heat beyond that of steam. The dust
was practically cold when it fell.
Considerable volumes of water were
elected probably wholly in the form
of steam. The water condensing from
this steam washed gully in the snow
to the adjacent lakelet which occupies
what prior to this latest eruption had
long been regarded as the youngest
crater of the Lassen volcano. The
new crater is not quite over the throat
of the old but is a few hundred feet

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY REPORTS ON
LASSEN ERUPTION

In a report just forwarded to Wash
ington from the field, Geologist ]. S.
Diller suggests a connection between
the Lassen peak eruption and the San
Francisco 1915 exposition.
Mr.. DiIler was ordered to visit the
scene of volcanic eruption and his
detailed statement was made public by
the United States geological survey
yesterday. The geologist points out
that old Vulcan may be preparing an
American Vesuvius for the Panama
Pacific exposition. The Pacific ocean
is girdled by volcanoes and live ones
are common in the Central American
countries to which Panama belorZs.
Mr.. Diller reasons thus: so it is up
to Vulcan to prepare nearby exhibit
for the occasion, and he evidently sees
his duty and is rejuvenating the en-
ergy of Lassen peak as a kind of vol
canic moving picture.
Mount Rainier and Mount Shasta,
the beautiful cones so much in evil
dence to the traveller on the Pacific
coast north of San Francisco, are now
finding an up-to-date rival in Lassen
peak, which is plainly in view from
the railroad for many miles in the
Sacramento valley between Redding
and Red Bluff Lassen peak is the
southern end of the. Cascade range,
and it stands between the Sierra Ne
vada on the southeast and the klamath
mountains on the northwest. It's lavas
erupted in past ages reach the Sacra-
mento valley on the one side and on
the other form a part of the vast vol
canic field, one Of the greatest in the
world, that stretches far across Cali
fornia, Oregon, Washington and Idaho
to the Yellowstone National park.
"Of all portions of the Cascade
range Lassen peak still retains the
largest remnant of it's once vigorous
hot springs and Bumpass HeI On the
south as well as Hot Sprin/5 valley
and the boiling mud-lake Tartarus on
the southeast have long attracted the
attention not only of Californians but
to some extent of the tourists, to
whom the region is growing more ac-
cessiple every year. If to these al
ready esta blished attractions be added
a frequent occurrence of the recent
volcanic plays of Lassen peak the re-
gion will take high rank among ma
lures wonderlands.
But what is the nature of this new
activity of Lassen? Is 1t really vol
canic? Will it soon dwindle and be-
come wholly quiescent or on the other
hand is it the precursor of a more
profound eruption like that of Kraka-
toa? The excellent photographs that
have been taken of the outburst, espe-
cially those by C. F. Milford and the
series by B. F. Loomis of Viola, taken
from a point six miles northwest of
Lassen peak, leave little doubt in the
mind of any one familiar with vol
canic phenomena that the outburst is
essentially volcanic. These photo
graphs are strikingly similar to those
taken by Johnston-Lavis showing the
progress of an eruption in the Lioari
islands. whose volcanic character is
well known.

MARRIAGE FAILURES.
Two Crises in Welded Life That Are
Mainly Responsible.

"O STISCS III "6OGeQ Lire nag are
Mainly Responsible.
That there should be such involved
discussion and so many amazingly
contradictory theories about the cause
of the failure of marriage is surpris-
ing.
The plain fact is that marriage is
always the end OF romance and the
beginning of history. This is so true
that Homer tells us the women of an
cient Greece reckoned their ages not
from the birth date, but from the we'd
ding day. A good many husbands in
this goth century are a good deal more
certain about the number OF years
their wives have lived since marriage
than about the summers and winters
they had numbered before they be-
came wives.
Failure to recognize the difference
between romance and history causes
failure of marriage. Romance is all
play; h!-tory is a serious business.
Courtship is pie; marriage is potatoes.
The comedown from pie to potatoes
sometimes overstrains matters serious
ly. But If this crisis is safely passed
another awaits.
Love is the spice of life, but friend.
ship is the nourishing food without
which life, except 10 unusual individ-
uals. becomes a burden. The marriage
which is all spice and no food soon
gives one or frequently both of the
partieD thereto acute indigestion.
When the ecstatic emotions of the
honeymoon have fled. marriage must
find some other subsistence or 1t can
not thrive And the only satisfying
food is observation-disclosures Maya
zine.

AGAINST LAVISH USE OF SOAP
Medical Authority Points Out Danger
to the Skin When Cleansing Agent
Is Too Freely Employed.

That many dangers cling to alkaline
soaps is emphasized editorially by the
London Lancet, in which attention Is
called to the large proportion OF min
eral ash and alkali in dearer toilet
soaps. When these soaps, after being
dissolved in water, touch the skin, an
excessive secretion of the acid sebum
and sweat follows, and the protective
outer layer of the skin, the epithelium,
is partially dissolved. This means in
tense irritation, which is apt to lead to
skin complications.
In the cheaper soaps the cottonseed
oil and rancid fats used are RESPONSE
Bile for considerable irritation. Castor
oil soap is found least irritating, but 1t
dissolves rather too freely and is apt
to become rancid. Cocoanut oil soap
is decidedly irritating and palm OIL
soap is less so, while tallow soap liz
least irritating Of all.
DR.. Frederick Gardiner. accepted as
an authority on this subject, holds that
many bad effects come from these
soaps made chiefly Of cheaper fats and
cottonseed and cocoanut oils. Former,
ly tallow and olive oil were most used
and the skin did not suffer
The natural conclusion is that as
little soap as possible should be used
on the skin and that this should be
least alkaline in quality. 1t should al
ways be well rinsed off, so as to per
nit the least possible irritation.

FEEDING TEST AT
KANSAS STATION
Found That Colts That Had No
Oats Are in Better Condition
Than Others With Grain.

Strong, healthy draft horses can be
produced without oats. After more
than nine months, in feeding test at
the Kansas station, colts that have
had no oats are in better condition
than those which ate this feed, and
have made a little better gain. The
saving in cost of feed is 20 per cent.
The colts have been fed the same sort
of roughage-alfalfa, corn fodder and
pasture.
One lot has been fed oats every
day and the other has had combina-
ton ration, 70 per cent. corn, 25 per
cent. bran and five per cent. oil meal.
One pound of this mixture contains
the same digestive elements as one
pound of oats. Also, from the stand
point Of energy value, the two feeds
are equal, pound for pound The test
shows a farmer can better afford to
feed the mixed ration, with corn at IS
cents bushel, bran at $50 a ton, oil
meal at $40 ton, than oats at so
cents a bushel.

| it's course, and if she has been prop
| erly cared for there will be little
trouble. When the lamb comes re-
move the membrane from it's nose and
see that it sucks at once. Never al
low a eve to become separated from
her lamb, because there is likely to
be difficulty in having her claim 1t
again.
When a lamb is day or two old
it can be placed with it's mother with
the rest of the ewes and lambs and
the, breeding place used for other
ewes.
Examine the ewes udder carefully
and If she seems to have no milk DO
not be discouraged at once. Let the
lamb suck and she will probably
bring her to her milk in a few hours.
On the other hand, if the udder con-
tains too much milk, more than one
lamb can bring, allow an older lamb
to suck the udder dry. This is very
important and should never be neg
lected.
If the eve does not have sufficient
milk for the first few days feed the
lamb on cows milk, diluted about
one-fourth. A little sugar added will
make it more palatable and very often
the lamb will thrive from the very
start
The ewes should not be fed heavily
on grain food Immediately after tbs
lambs are dropped. 1t Is better to
give them light bran mash for
day or two.
In the case Of twins, the mother
should be fed all she can eat of the
most nutritious milk-giving food.
If the lambs do not thrive it is bet
ter to take one of them away ana
place them with more vigorous give.
This is not always easy to be accom-
plished. but sometimes it can be done.
If no mother can be found to take
it, it will have to be separated from
the rest of the lambs and fed on
cows milk. This is some trouble OF
course, but it always pays.
Cribs should be provided for the
lambs when two weeks old, so that
they can eat by themselves. They
should be taught to eat little ground
oats early and should be given little
clover hay at which to nibble all the
time. See that they have plenty OF
fresh water and exercise.
They should be fed all they can
eat from the minute they can nibble
grain until thew are sent to the mar
ket.
Good lambs cannot be produced
without heavy feeding. OF course,
care must be taken to keep their
bowels in good condition and every
thing that suggests itself to the intel
ligent feeder must be done.
Examine the lambs carefully and IL
they show any signs of ticks they
should be dipped thoroughly. 1t does
not pay to waste good food to fat
ten ticks.
