Brothers OF vesuvius
Recent eruption of mud volcanoes
in the edge of Mexico near the
southern California line as reported
from Ell Centre, California, has in
troduced these little brothers of
Vesuvius'' to some persons for the
first time, and may have left the
impression that this portion of the
country is subject to major volcanic
outbreaks. A bulletin issued from
the Washington, d. c., headquar-
tiers of the National Geographic So
ciety explains just what mud vol
canoes are and tells something of
their wide distribution around the
world.
THE term volcano is in a way &
MISSIONER for these little mounds of
boiling mud-a fact that is recog-
nized sometimes by calling them
mud ~geysers'," says the bulletin.

size, bear to true volcanoes the rela-

Like geysers. mud volcanoes are
usually found in regions that have
been subject to true volcanic action
within recent geologic times. But
this is not always true: and recent

sers, water gathers in assures. a
portion of whose walls are no.,
steam forms after a time and the
column of water is expelled. In the
case of mud volcanoes, a much
smaller quantity of water Is in
volved. 1t is usually turned COM
pletely into steam which forces its
way through fine material and
forms hot mud. In typical mud
volcanoes the soft mud is forced out
with little violence through the top
of a small mound and flows down
yer the sides. Occasionally, how
ever, a heavy column of mud traps

MUD volcanoes are much more

places in which geysers exist in ap-

Asia they occur at Baku, on islands

RESPECT FOR THE LAW

Judeing from the tone of the baccalaureate sermons
delivered to the graduating classes of the various colleges
yesterday the sentiment among college presidents is unanl-
nous that this American republic is facing one OF the great
crises in its history. 1t is a question, in the words of
Abraham Lincoln, whether this nation "of the people, by
the people and for the people shall not perish from the
EARTH"
This crisis is brought about. through the prevailing dis
respect for the law. Civilization cannot exist without law.
Personal liberty in its true sense has not existed since the
cave man ceased carrying out his will by striking over the
head with a club any man weaker than he who dared to dis
agree with him. Modern society is founded on law and
whether we like it or not we have got to obey the law or

WASHINGTON, June 16.-The
suggestion of Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon that the American rail-
roads need a holiday during which,
for a period of fiv ear Or more.
they would be practically free of
government regulation. has provok-
ed renewed discussion of the whole
question of railroad operation.
The swing of the pendulum toward
a consideration of relaxed railroad
regulation is believed to mark one of
the cycles of development peculiarly
characteristic of American progress.
A curious coincidence is that Glen
Plumb, the author of the Plumb
Plan, constituting the farthest swing
of the pendulum in the direction of
radicalism, is reported to be on his
death bed, following a prolonged ILL
ness. Mr.. Plumb's health is reported
to be SO impaired that, even though
he might GOV from his present
illness, he could not take up the
leadership of transportation reform
again. His absence from this field
would remove n of the strongest
opponents to relaxed railroad regu-
lation in the country.
Mr.. Mellon based his suggestions
for a railroad holiday on the theory
that LAlC NdiIltlo NOuAu "Olh Jul "

railroads We're permitted to operate
independently. they would. through
the force of competition, reduce
rates to a point where the public
would derive much benefit. The sec
rotary points out that in the days
before regulation, rates for trans
portation of freight and passenger
fares were much lower than now
and that the history of railroad rate
regulation in the United States has
been a history of progressively in
creasing rates.
Mr.. MELONS suggestion has been
received with much interest, and it
seems likely that a whole new crop

Some members of the Interstate

commission, in recen opinions in

aa..atrnent in the price of milk and whereas some milk
dealers reduced the price of milk, others raised the price a
cent or two. This was claimed to be on orders from the
association to make the price of milk uniform.
Milk dealers are reluctant to tell much about their al
fairs fearing the power Of the wholesalers who seem to have

txo instances where a retail dealer has refused to join the

railroad stockholders also are large
stockholders in companies which
furnish supplies to the railroads. 1t
is alleged that the directors or
stockholders of a railroad will COM
NIT that company to pay excessively
high prices for supplies purchased
from their supply companies with
the result that the railroad property
is kept impoverished while the sup
ply company, which is not subject
to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission or any other regulation,
makes huge profits. This is but one
of such charges against private man
agement made by those who favor
more regulation or complete govern
ment ownership.

Mel Coogan, one of the many aspir- ants to Benny Leonard's crown, is making a great comeback. He has been one of the country's good light weights for number of years, but he was poorly handled for long time and lacked the initiative to go out and get 'em of his own. Now, however, he has gotten fresh start and he'll be heard from. Mel doesn't believe Benny Leonard will ever box again at the lightweight limit and he wants to have something to say when the new lightweight champion is picked. Coogan can make 133 pounds. He is legitimate lightweight through and through.

]MISKE DESIRES BATTLE WITH
 DEMPSEY

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-After several weeks of intensive training Billy Miske has rounded into perfect physical condition and he is hot on the trail of Champion Jack Dempsey for another match.
 The St Paul heavyweight declares he must still be considered serious contender for premier pugilistic hon. ors on his fight in St. Paul, when he defeated Bill Brennan of Chicago in a hard fought ten rounds. Brennan is the bucko who made so much trouble for Dempsey in their en- counter in New York City a year ago. Dempsey flattened Bill for the count, but only after tough en- counter Any fighter who can beat Brennan must be taken seriously, Miske figures.
 In addition to beating Brennan, Miske in the past few months has knocked out Farmer Lodge. 235- pnunder, and Tommy Mccarthy, and whipped Jack Renault and Lee An derson Miske beat Anderson In every round of ten-round tilt in Portland battering the negro almost to a pulp.
 Miske already has fought Dempsey three times. Their first bout ended in a ten-round draw in St. Paul in May, 1918 They met next in six round scrap in Philadelphia in Mo- vember, 1918 Opinions of newspaper men at the ringside varied on the outcome Some gave the decision to Dempsey, others awarded the honors to Miske, and still others declared 1t draw
 Miske then fought Dempsey at Benton Harbor. Mich, on Labor day, 1920. He was stopped after taking a bombardment of punches from the champion that no man could stand up under.
 Miske is still young man. He is only twenty seven and he believes that there are many good fights left in his sturdy physique
 He weighs 196 pounds after train ing for several weeks and looks as fit as a race horse.

THORPE E STILL SUPERMAN OF
 FOOTBALL

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Two scoffers of professional football were discuss ing Jim Thorpe at the Polo Grounds, where Thorpe's team of former college stars was toying with Charley Brick ley's Giants. It was early in the first quarter, the field was muddy and Joe Guyon was carrying the ball most of the time for the Tigers.
 "Jim ain't there any more" said one of the critics. "You know he's up around forty, and at that age a man is too brittle to play footballl as col lege boys play it. He's losing his speed, too. And do you notice how he slows up when they tackle him, when he is playing defensive back?"
 "I guess the old boy is done," he marked the other "I'll admit he can kick football yet, but he can't break through that line any more. Foot ball is a game for men in their early twenties. You can't see Charley Brickley in there, do you? He's too smart for that"
 Possibly little bird carried this con- versation to Thorpe. A few mnutes later the ball was snapped back to the big Indian and he started on a jour- ney around the opposing left end.
 This play deceived even Jim's team mates, for he came around that end alone He either lost his interference or decided to furnish it himself, and so the play was unscreened as Thorpe headed directly for the south field stand. He not only got off to fast start, but held his footing with amaz- ing ease when he changed pace and direction.
 Lacking good interference Thorpe was at first compelled to retreat as the opposing end men came through after him. But when he started to sprint he ran away from these tack lers in few seconds. He carried them back and then ran clear around them, coming up near the side line to head for his gain.
 At point about where the ball was put in play Thorpe encountered the secondary defense. He plunged right into group of five or six Brickley huskies, all intent on tackling him.
 The way Jeems went through those boys carried us back to the day when he raced up and down the plains of West Point with cadet tacklers cling ing to him, but not impeding his prog ress. That was some ten years ago, and if Thorpe has since forgotten any thing about gaining thorugh a broken field he recalled it last Saturday. It was broken field, indeed, after he finished with it.
 The first tackler to dive at Thorpe was strong-armed and spilled in mud puddle. The second fared worse. Thorpe's shoulder encountered the tacller's chest and knocked him flat on his back A third man grabbed the Indian around the legs and slipped off By this time they had slowed Jim up, but they hadn't stopped him. He still had trick or two.
 By revolving his body Thorpe shook off one or two tacklers who had now fastened themselves to him All the time he was making progress toward the enemy's goal. At last he stumbled just as two more of Brickley's players loomed in front of him. As he fell he rolled over and advanced the ball a little farther. He was down, and sev- eral of his opponents were out And after going back ten yards to start his run he had gained about ten yards from where the ball was put into scrimmage
