1TALY'S DISASTER
GREATEST OF KIND.
ESTIMATES OF DEAD AND IN
JURED RUN AS HIGH AS
FROM 80, 900 to 100000.

Rome, January 15:-From 25,OOO
to $4,000 still remains the unofficial
estimate of casualties in the earth
quake that rocked Southern and
Central Italy early Wednesday morn
ing.
The amount of damage cannot be
determined from the meagre de-
scriptions of the catastrophe that
have reached Rome over hampered
lines of communication. Such details
as have come through leave no doub.
that nearly one hundred towns and
villages have been utterly demollsh-
ed or rartly wrecked ard that the
loss of life was great. Thousands OF
persons now have lain for nearly
three days beneath crumbled build
ings throughout the earthquake
zone. Some are dead while others
still are living. Many have been re-
moved from the wreckage and
brought to Rome hospitals for treat
ment or are being cared for in their
home towns in temporary structures
presided over by physicians. and
nurses rushed from the Capital and
other cities in Italy.
MESSINA ECLIPSED.
William Marconi, who returned
here today from Avezzano on board
the train with King Victor Emman-
uel, said words could not describe
the horrors he had witnessed. The
town had been wholly levelled, he
said, and residents that escaped
death were destitute.
King Victor Emmanuel told me, y
said MIR Marconi, that he had visit
ed the scenes Of all earthquake dis
asters in Italy since he was child,
but this surpassed all, including
Messina." The King said survivors
of Avezzano were only between two
and three per cent of its population,
while in Messina one-third escaped.
Describing the damage in Avez-
zano Mr. Marconi said:
Avezzano has ceased to exist. In
Messina some buildings give one the
impression that they are still intact,
their facades having survived the
shock. Not so with Avezzano. No
wall there remains erect. 1t SEEM
ed as though the town had been
ground to powder by some gigantic
machine"

Venters, January 1S:-The holi-
days are over and we are back at
work again. Everyone seems to have
been benefited by the rest. We re-
gret very much that our music
teacher, Mrs A D Jones, has been un-
able to be with us since the holidays
on account of her illness. We are
very glad to say that she is improv-
ing. Mrs Beth Waddell Eaddy, a
former teacher in our school, is TAX
ing her place.
Times are right lively and many
little features of amusement were
given for the homecoming benefit
of the college girls and hoys. Mrs
A D Jones entertained one evening
at rook and other games. Delight
full music was rendered, and fruit
and other refreshments were served.
Miss Christine Newell entertained
one evening in honor of Miss Gladys
Poston and Mr. DeLeon Poston. Car
rom and rook were the principal
games, but not the total amusement,
for little heart candy was passed
around and after the boys found the
hearts that matched theirs they en-
tered into an old-time candy pull
ing" .affording much amusement for
everyone. Those participating in the
evenings enjoyment were: Misses
Gladys Poston, Cornelia Cockfeld,
Bertha Ard, Elizabeth Cannon, Bessie
and Eadimae Huggins, Hennie and
Christine Newell and Messrs Emer-
son and Fairy Ard, Otis and Ned
Huggins, Davis Newell, Cole Cannon
and Butterfield Newell.
The following boys and girls have
returned to their respective colleges:

LIGHT PROTECTS NEW YORK
Beams That Can Be Projected for One
Hundred Miles in Use on
I-ortifications.

Throwing searchlight beams 100
miles is now being accomplished at
the navy yard in New York. 1t IS
not known that there are more pow
erful searchlights in existence, un-
less they have been recently placed
in service in warfare in Europe. 1t
is understood that if the tests of this
new lamp satisfy the government Of
fcials it will replace those now in
use on the battleships and in coast
defense work.
The lamp is equipped With a a.
inch reflector, and during recent
tests measurements have indicated
total generation of 450,OO0,000
candle power, at distance of about
two miles. The light used in the
navy at present, equipped with a a.
inch reflector, produces only 60,O0O,-
900 candle power. 1t is calculated
that this lamp, with a 6O-inch' re-
fector, will give 1OO,OOO,OOO candle
power at distance of two miles.
The carbons are slightly more than
one-half inch in diameter and are
made with core of metal. They are
kept cool and prevented from vapor-
izing by the action of the intense
heat, by jet Of gas playing against
the ends of the carbons.

vassed the proposition from every angle, and
reached the conclusion that here was an op-
portunity to develop the idea on a great, big,
broad basis. The results speak for them
selves.

I ing sum of $7OO.C the proceeds of the saw
ings of the 10000 members of the Christmas
Saving Club of the bank, of which have the
honor to be president.
Our plan is simple one. and forms an at.
tractive method of arranging for the next
years Christmas gifts, or for the payment of
taxes, or to reduce mortgage note. 1t is sur
prising how small sum paid in weekly grows
in volume.
"A club member arranges to pay certain
specified sum, ranging from Soc. to $1,000 each
week for period of so weeks, at the expira-
ton of which a check for the entire amount
with interest will be mailed to him. In case
the depositor suspends payments entirely be-
fore the end of the year. he loses the interest
payment. but, of course. receives his entire
principal back at the end of the period speci-
feo. If deposits lapse for several weeks, the
depositor may make up for this by bringing
his account up to date and by depositing in adj
vance for as many weeks as payments were
allowed to lapse.
The result of systematic inquiry shows that
the majority of members joining have never
before had a bank account. and it is great
satisfaction to the bank officials to know that
they are promoting the habit of saving and
thrift.
Think of what it means to the business of
community like Boston to have one institution
like ours release to circulation among the peo-
pie on one day the great sum of three-quar-
tiers of million dollars in the hands of 10000
potential purchasers of merchandise? That's
what my Thrift Club means to Boston. Mer-
chants last year told us that the increase in
business Immediately traceabe to the matur-
ity of our Christmas Saving Club was ire

will number $4,000 and look for the distribu-
ton next December of nearly $4,000, O0O."
