TAKING MOVIES OF VOLCANO.
Party of Scientists Are in Southwestern
Corner of Alaska.

Juneau, Alaska, Aug 22.-Volcano
peaks in the far southwestern corner of
Alaska are in eruption this summer evil
IDENTIFY for the benefit Of party of sci
entists sent by the National Geographic
society to study Mount Katmai, the
greatest Of Alaska's smoking mountains,
and its Valley OF Ten Thousand
Smokes"
Persons who have returned recently
from the volcanic country TO the west
ward said Shishaldin peak, on Unimak
island, in the Aleutian chain, was in
eruption recently They also reported
it was believed Mount Bavloff on the
southwestern Alaskan mainland, also
had spouted as the snow about the sum
init was coal black,
When the party OF scientists left An
ehorage, Alaska, on their way to the
Katmai country, they said they be-
lieved there was little likelihood OF an
eruption this summer and declared they
were certain there was absolutely no
danger attached to the investigation.
Katmai's last big elbow off" was in
June, 1912.
The party Of 20 scientists is headed
by Professor Robert A. Griggs of the
University Of Ohio and some are from
Carnegie institute. They are planning
to make observations of the botanical,
biological and geological effects of the
1912 eruption.
Tn 1918 Professor Griggs headed a
- -. "A
turned with the announcement that the
crater was the largest on the globe and
that near katmai lay great valley
whose floor was dotted with thousands
Of mouths vomiting gray vapory gas
and smoke. This valley, Professor Griggs
named "The Valley Of Ten Thousand
Smokes" Instead of ten thousand, it is
said there are literally millions of smok-
ing vents,
Congress recently set aside "The Val
ley of Ten Thousand Smokes" as ma.
tional property and it is believed that
some day it will be a second Yellow
stone geyscr field. Steaming springs,
it is said, will eventually take the place
Of the present smoking vents.
Professor Griggs and his party ex.
pect to remain in the Katmai district
until the middle of September. Until
they return nothing probably will be
heard from them as there is no direct
means of communication. Mrs, Griggs
and her children accompanied the pro
fessor to Kodiak, an island near Katmsi,
and win remain there during the sum-
mer, waiting for him to return.
Moving pictures of the smoking noun
tain and valley are to be brought back
by the party.

DIFFICULT MOTOR TRIP.
Two Ford Machines Went Completely
Through Smugglers' Notch.

Two automobiles made the trip com
pletely through Smugglers' notch from
Stowe to Jeffersonville last week, and
the fact is thus related in the Water
bury Record:
Zone day last week an automobile
party, including Mr.. and Mrs. +. R.
Linke and children of Springfield, Mass,
Mr.. and Mrs. Ira Knapp and two sons,
Locke and Ward, Miss Mabel Kenyon,
niece of Mrs. Knapp, and grandson,
Merle Marshall, all of Waterbury, took
an automobile trip to Smugglers' Notch
and instead Of coming back the same
road by which they went, kept on and
started down the other side of the noun
tain, on an old disused road which leads
to Jacksonville, which no one has ever
before attempted to travel in an automo-
bile, even in its best condition.
"The party travelled in two autos,
Ford touring car and a Ford runabout.
The first place reached going down Dead
Horse hill was lumber camp, where
the men expressed great surprise at see
ing a party come down over the noun
tain, and especially in automobiles. Pro-
ceeding still further down the noun
tain, on account Of faulty brakes, it was
necessary to use three pieces of timber
to draw the front end of the machines
and obstacles presented themselves at
every turn. There were huge boulders
and rocks in the way and the grass at
times was as high as the machines
Bridges across the brooks had rotted
away, and the trail presented the APP
pearance Of a washed out brook bed A
ravine bordered on one side OF the trail
flor it was more trail than a road
and many other difficulties hindered the
party. 1t is certain that no machine
could ever attempt to ascend the trail,
inasmueh as it is almost impossible to
60 down the mountain, even with a Ford
"The descent was made safely, how
ever, and after having a few repairs
made at Jeffersonyille, the party re-
turned to Waterbury. Mr.. Lnke rec

ing climbing the Alps or the Rockies,
and gives warning that brakes must be
in best of condition before this feat is
attempted. Numerous other trips were
made last week in the cars and also sew
eral climbing expeditions, such as Mount
Mansfield and Cancels Hump. Mr.. and
Mrs. Linke and children, who have been
the guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Ira Knapp
during their weeks stay here, left Mon
day on the return trip to their home in
Springfield, which will be by the way
of the White mountains, going later to
the Maine coast and then to Boston,
camping on the way. II is needless to
say that they have enjoyed their vaca-
tion here"

ITALIAN HOUSEWIVES
HARD TIMES SHOPPING
To Get Piece of Meat Generally Takes
Two Hours, to Obtain a Loaf of Bread
One Hour, and Other Prod
ucts in Proportion.

Rome, Aug. 20 Correspondence of the
Associated Pressl Seven hours of each
day of the Italian housekeeper must be
devoted to buying food. The problems of
the ordinary American housekeeper pale
into insignifcance even with their trou-
blesome servants, when compared to the
Italian. Domestic servants strikes in
Italy are chronic.
The recent upheaval in Italian eco
Monies when the government ordered
prices Of foodstuffs and clothing reduced
80 per cent has begun its reaction, and
the factor affected most is the house
keeper She must start to market at
o'clock in the morning, and is forced to
hurry from one store to another. To oh
tain piece of meat usually takes two
hours, to obtain bread about an hour,
eggs two hours, vegetables one hour and
half, and canned goods about an hour
The housekeeper's day starts by plac-
ing herself at the back OF a long line of
waiting customers. The line sometimes
extends for a half block, guarded by
armed carbineers. When the buyer Is
permitted to enter the store, she finds in
side scramble for all sorts Of eommodi.
ties. Guards are stationed there to pre-
vent any mischief Ii she obtains what
she wants, abe is lucky.
She treads over the streets a whole
morning searching for the things for
lunch and then, in the afternoon, must
start on the hunt again for food If she
is looking for butter, she is usually dis
appointed, for there is little to be had
She may obtain meat, bat is usually
thankful to go away with can of
American bully beef
1t often happens that her family must
miss meal, but that is usually over
looked 1t is too evident on every hand.
Housekeepers sometimes watch car
of produce unloaded at the railroad sta
ton and follow the motor trucks to the
store where the produce will Be sold.
When carload Of eggs arrived the 9th
er day women chung to the trucks carry
ing the eggs TO stores while others ran
alongside At the stores the clerks stood
in doorways and handed out the eggs,
three only to customer Some custom
ers reached over others heads with their
hats, while others pushed aside the weak

Servants take their rest days by telling
the housekeeper they are going for day
or two. They come back when it suits
them. The days of those perfect Italian
servants" as Americans used TO call
them. have passed away, and house
keeper is lucky to have a servant at all

WORKING PEOPLE OFFENDERS
Because, Says St Louis Meat Dealer,
They Pay Such Big Prices.

Washington, d. G., Aug. 23-People
ought to be satisfied with present food
prices, there isn't any profteering in
the retail meat and grocery business,
and consumers want to pay high prices,
Thomas Dunn, st. Louis meat dealer
told the Senate agriculture committee
yesterday at the hearing on legislation
to control the packing industry.
''The working people are the worst
offenders, he said They absolutely
won't have anything but the finest and
best. The only good this investigation
can do sto make these people think,
can do is to make these people think,
of their heads"
The five big packers are not mon
opolizing anything, or "robbing any
thing, or "robbing anybody, and need
ed no regulations, Dunn said.

THE NORWICH PILGRIMAGE.
Plans Laid by University Centennial
Committee for Oct. 10.

The Norwich university centennial
committee met last week at Strafford and
Norwich, the chief business being the
formulation of plans for the pilgrimage
to Norwich on Founders day, Oct. ID.
Various special committees to have
charge of the events of the week were
named at this meeting. During the ses-
sion visit was made to Old South bar
racks at Norwich, and to cemeteries at
Norwich and South STAFFORD, where are
buried the founder and many of the
early supporters of the institution. A
group of the interested citizens Of Nor
witch met with the committee at the
Newton inn to discuss plans, and assure
the co.. operation Of the community.
Among those present were Captain Hen
ry v. Partridge, Rev. F. J. Buttery, DIR.
Bowles and ladies representing various
church and civic federations.
The general plan for the day. is as fol-
lows; The party will leave Mortified
in the morning, the cadets under arms
and with full equipment Transporta-
ton is in charge of special committee
whose chairman is H. c. Fisher of Barre,
and it is hoped that sufficient automo-
bies will be available to carry the en-
tire party of cadets and guests, except
those cadets who will form the mounted
troops, which will start the afternoon be-
fore. The arrival at Norwich is planned
for noon, and lunch will be eaten inn
mediately, out of doors if weather per-
mits. This will be followed by parade
and review at / o'clock, and it is hoped
that many men of the old Norwich will
be present in the reviewing stand. After
the parade will come prayer and an
address of welcome, followed by an adj
dress on some subject to be announced.
Then the tablet to Captain Partridge will
be unveiled and an address on Captain
Alden Partridge, educator, viii be de-
livered.
A procession will then be formed and
will proceed to the cemetery, where the
graves of those connected with the early
history of the institution will be dedi-
Gated, brief tribute being spoken at
each grave. This ceremony will be con-
cluded with volley and the sounding OF
taps. Returning from the cemetery the
program at Norwich will end with even
ing parade and retreat on the old pa
rade ground.
At sometime during the day, probably
by detouring from the main line of trav.
Ell, on either the down trip or the re-
turn trip, a detachment of cadets, off
Gals ara guests will visit the cemetery
at South Strafford to decorate the grave
of Curtis s. Barrett, SO, donor of the
Barrett fund.
The tablet to Captain Partridge is to
be of bronze, located, if possible, on the
original parade, close to Main street. No
decision has been re1ched as yet regard
ing the material for the base, but ham
mered granite, native boulder, and a
composite OF materials from the ruins oil
the Old South barracks have been dis
cussed
The day will be Of interest to the sur.
vivors Of the old Norwich, and it is the
aim of the committee to make it an in.

PLAN TO DEVELOP TRADE
nv SOUTH AMERICA
Mississippi Valley Concerns Are Plan
ming to Send Representatives There
to Ascertain Business Condi-
lions and Possibilities.

Memphis, Tenn, Aug ga visit to
Latin American countries by Mississippi
valley concerns interested in taking adj
vantage Of new trade conditions since
the ending Of the war and to include rep
resentatives of Chicago, st. Louis, Mem
phis, Cincinnati, New Orleans and many
inland cities, is planned for this fall and
winter. Not less than 300 commercial,
financial and business establishments are
to be represented.
1t is proposed to make an extensive
trip to ascertain by personal observation
the business conditions and possibilities
in South America and how the Missis
sippi valley can best develop its trading
interests with the Latin states.
The movement was started by the New
Orleans Association of Commerce, which
already has delegated committee to
interest other similar organizations and
which also has taken up with the United
States shipping board the question Of OBJ
tanning a vessel for the trip.
1t is the intent to start about Nov. l,
on a tentative itinerary that will take
the delegation to Cuba, Jamaica, Santa
Domingo, dalLl, cities N venezuela, 10
lombia, Panama, Ecuador, Peru, Chile
and back through the Panama canal.
1t is quite certain from local informa-
tion, that Memphis and st. Louis will
be well represented and assurance has
been obtained that Chicago and Cincin-
natl will likewise send a number of rep
resentatives. The proposal is of especial
interest in the lower Mississippi valley
because of recent announcement and as
surance that river transportation is to be
much improved as far north as Memphis
and St. Louis and likewise because of
rapid development of livestock and agri-
cultural progress in the lower valley
country.

LABOR TOFRAME
CAPITOL PROGRAM

Important conferences on proposed
legislation affecting labor will be
held here this month and early in
May, preparatory to the extra ses-
sion Of Congress.
Arrangements are being made for
a meeting here the first week in May
at which the plan is for labor lead
ers OF prominence to go over their
program with q number Of members
of the Senate and House who are
sympathetic with some or all the
measures which the American Fed
Grafton of Labor is going to promote.
Moreover, on the return Of Presi-
dent Gompers, Of the American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor, there will be con-
ferences of an informal sort between
him and various Republican ana
Democratic leaders looking to the
furthering of the bills in which labor
is interested. Secretary Frank Nor
rison. of the American Federation OF
Labor. will also figure in these con-
ferences.
The program Of measures which
the American Federation of Labor
will seek to advance in the new Con-
gress was recently announced by Sec
retary Morrison. 1t is a far-reach-
ing one, but there will be strong sup
port for some features Of It,
