LASSE|N VOLCANO IS
UNDER OBSERVATION
Dangerous Peaks Activity Forms
Basis For Scientific Study by
Geological Survey

Washington, D. c., June 15.-Mt.
Lassen, California, whose violent
eruption of May 19 places it in the
first rank of volcanoes now danger
ously active, has become the subject
of an informal cooperative study by
the geological survey and the forest
service. At the request of the sur
vey, a telegram has been sent from
Washington instructing the officers of
the Lassen national forest, in which
the peak stands, to continue obser-
vations of the volcanoes activity and
keep a record to be used as basis for
a scientific investigation by j. S. Diller,
a government geologist, who is eX-
pected at LaSsen early in July.
The observations are being made by
forest rangers at the scene and from
a fire lookout tower on Brokeoff
Mountain, few miles north of the
crater, where the forest service last
year kept watch on the numerous
eruptions which occurred from May
to September.
Cloudburst Started 1t
It is not known whether a cloud
burst started the last eruption by
precipitating rain down upon the
molten lava in the crater or whether
melting of the snow on the peak,
with consequent flowing of water into
the crater, caused the accumulation
of steam WHICH blew river of mud
out of the mountain. Mr.. Diller, who
made a study of the volcano last year,
said that he inclined toward the
melted snow theory, adding that the
bright glow reported as appearing on
the clouds of smoke and steam over
the crater is a reflection of the red
hot matter uncovered by the eruption,
indicating that the volcano is in a
more or less dangerous mood.
The river of mud which was shot
out of the north side of the crater and
down Hat Creek has damaged gov
ernment and private property. says a
wire to the forest service from San
Francisco, destroying bridges which
were necessary to permit the entrance
of livestock that are grazed on the
forest range during the summer. Some
10000 cattle and $4,000 sheep are
grazed on the Lassen forest every
year.
Mt. Lassen is regarded as excep-
tionally interesting from a scientific
viewpoint, according to the geological
survey, inasmuch as ii is the only
active volcano in the United States
proper, is very accessible to observ-
ers, and appears to be full of danger
Gus possibilities. There is much that
is not known about volcanoes, and
Lassen is expected by geologists to
furnish a considerable addition to ex-
listing information on the subject.

Enrolment of Every
AbIe-bOdied Man Urged
By Associated Press

New York, June 15.--An executive
session of the delegates to the Peace
and Preparation Conference was call
ed for this afternoon when it was ex-
pected that recommendation would
be submitted.
The purpose of the conference,
which should be taken for adequate
defense and, IL necessary to urge upon
the President of the United States the
need of calling a special session of
Congress.
One of the suggestions before the
delegates was contained in the report
of the military committee of the Ma
tional Security League. This commit
tee proposed the enrolment and mil
itary instruction of every able bodied
man in the United States between the
ages of IS and'45, and the enactment
of national and state laws to put the
plan in operation.

MRS. JOHN JACOB ASTOR
Little John Jacob Astor, posthumous
son of John Jacob Astor, who went
down on the Titanic leaving a fortune
of about S70,000,000, most of which
went to his son Vincent by his first
wife, cannot live on $4,000 a wear,
according to his mother, the second
Mrs. Astor.
She has just filed a statement in the
surrogate court, New York, in which
the statement is made that that sum,
which he now enjoys. is not sufficient.
After giving the date of her ap-
pointment as November 13, 1912, the
widow says she received no money
from the sons estate until December
81, 1913. and that the setting of his
allowance at 100000 year took place
on August S, 1914.
4 The, necessary expenditures since
the birth of the infant to December 81,
1914 she reports, for professional
services rendered the said infant by
physicians and lawyers, and for my
bond as general guardian. all paid by
me, have been upward of $4,000
From an examination of the ac-
counts of various merchants and others
with whom l have dealt I find that
there has been expended for clothing.

infant since the date of his birth to

SELECTING THE TROUT HOOK

Many anglers advise a small hook
for big fish on the theory that the
bend is better filled and more firmly
imbedded.
And it is an equally plausible theory
that big flies attract big fish.
The trout see them better. especial
ly after their eyesight has been dim
med by months of living in deep, dark
water When a light, leisurely fly is
floating down toward the water, the
smaller trout near the surface are
watching for 1t like a fullback for
punted ball A big hook attracts the
big fish in deeper water and the small
fry scatter. In fact, the fighting quail
tiles of trout are often magnified by
light rods and fine-spun tackle

A DREAM CARTOON

The following letter from San Jose,
Cal, was received recently by the edi-
tor OF Cartoons Magazine:
The writer Is a dreamer alright, al
right and my dreams suggest numer-
Gus cartoons. For example, I dreamed
the other night that I was standing on
A steep hillside gazing into a stream of
blood which made the angels weep and
on a hill above the rill in even plain
view saw the form of Kaiser Bill and
he was looking too. His face was
blanched, his eyes bloodshot His bosom
heaved sigh, as he stood on the noun
tain top, tear stood in each eve Mine
Got what have done. he cried. as he
gazed on the stream. Is all this blood
charged to my pride. or is this Just a
dream. Later he fell face downward
into the sream of blood"
