ACTIVE VOLCANO
IN SAN SAL vADOR

SAN SALVADOR, Republic of San
Salvador, Sept 1-(Correspondence
OF the Associated Press THE San Sal
yador which burst into violent erup-
ton on the night of June last, still
continues to hurl into air at intervals
O, from half minute to a minute,
quantities Of red-hot stones. These
missions are accompanied by tremend-
Gus explosions, like the firing together
OF a hundred pieces of heavy artillery.
Smaller stones glowing with heat are
thrown 5000 feet in the air and larger
ones 1900 to 1900 feet.
In the great eruption Of June Z,
when scores OF persons were killed or
injured vast quantities of burning lava
poured from vents in the sides of the
ancient volcano, spreading over the
valleys of Ell Pinar and Las Chintos.
These fields CT fire now mostly have
cooled.
A lake which occupied the old crater
was undisturbed by the first eruption
but, a few days later, it BEGAN to
throw off steam For twenty-five days
it continued to boil from subter-
ranean heat and when, at the end OF
that period the water of the lake had
evaporated, it was possible to observe
that a new crater had been formed
within the mouth of the cid enc
It is from this new crater that erup-
tions now lake place at regular inter
vale. The spectacle is awe-inspiring
Millions Of tons Of burning stones have
been thrown out On the dry bedrock
where they continue to glow. Never
theless it is possible to go within few
hundred yards OF the old crater with
out danger and some men even have
lowered themselves into the old crater
with ropes.
Excursions to the volcano from all
parts of the country are popular as a
railroad runs from San Saliador to
Santa Tecla, eight miles from the vol
cano. The remainder of the Journey
is made on horseback.

yourself in good health can not rest
wholly upon your officers. Just as in
civil life, you are expected to use a
reasonable amount of good sense in
looking after yourself You will do
this partly because it adds to your
own comfort and safety. You will take
care of yourself, also, because it is a
duty that every soldier owes to the
country.
You will have plenty of fresh air
exercise and good food which are after
all the chief essentials of good health
it should be a comparatively easy
thing for you to look after the smaller
things.

SALOONS TO Be OPEN
ON ELECTION DAY
Prosecuting Attorney Rules Sal
oons May Remain Open on
Special Election Day.

At a conference between Prescott
ing Attorney Caruthers, City Attorney
Balm and City Counselor Knehans yes
terday, it was decided to permit the
saloons to remain open on the day Of
the special school election, next Tues
day. The statutes leave it to the dis
cretion of the excise commissioner or
in the cities, that have no such official,
to the prosecuting attorney Of the
county to decide whether saloons may
be open on special election days.
The three officials arrived at the con-
clusion that inasmuch as the issue to
be voted on was not of great impOr-
lance. the saloons should be allowed
to do business on that day.
The election will be held for the
purpose of having the voters decide
whether the School Board may levy an
additional 10 cents tax upon the gener-
al revenue of the city. This additional
tax is asked to enable the School
Board to pay off bonds that are rest
ing on several schools and to make
some improvements that have been
found to be necessary.
Aside from this, the members of
the School Board state the special tax
will permit them to purchase a lot adj
joining the Broadway School and per-
nit the city 20 widen Themis street as
has been proposed by the City Coun-
selor.

Promotions In Business.

In the American Magazine Thomas
q. Wilson, the Chicago packer. says:
IL often ask a man why he Is doing
q thing a certain way. IL he tells me
that be does II that way because It has
always been done Just like that I am
inclined to be somewhat dubious about
his ability. Not infreQuently the fact
that custom has been In force for thirty
years Is sufficient proof that 1t Is wrong.
We should be constantly on the lookout
for better ways of doing things. Any
business not showing constant advance
ment usually deteriorates. Individual
positions are no exceptions.
"One Of the great foes to a good or
ganization Is the practice of promoting
BY seniority alone. John Smith Is moved
into vacancy because he has been In
the department longer than some other
fellow. This plan permits an inferior
man to block the way of a good man.
There should be no rules about promo
ton which can In any way hamper the
selection Of the best man for a place.
In fact, do not like to have too many
rules about anything. Rules tend to
make people follow custom without
knowing why and without using much
initiative"

during his lifetime the chances are
that he will do 1t at the age Of twenty

The general supposition is that men
have attained the highest development
Of their mental and physical powers at

be able to distinguish between right
and wrong and to realize the conse-
quences liable to follow the indulgence
Of either.

many social and pleasant hours were
passed In my home and In his rooms at
the Ebbit House, where he lived dur
ing his whole congressional career. He
was at all times genial and no matter
what he had to DO, either for his con-
stituents or for his friends, he was
ever the same patient, courteous and
self sacrificing gentleman. In due
course of time he was elected governor
Of Ohio. I telegraphed him, "Thane
Of Cawdor. king that shall be-" to
which he promptly replied, "Thanks.
but not yet."-Simon Wolf In Ameri-
