from Lingu Glosa thus described the
first symptoms Of the eruption:
Suddenly" continued the nara
tor. "the door of an inferno opened
from the side of the volcano, and a
new yawning, burning chasm began
throwing out fiery torrents of in
candescent lava. 1t seemed to us the
end of the world"
This afternoon the main body OF
lava was half a mile from LingtIa-
glo5sa. having been broken into var
ious rivu!ets by the outstanding spur
OF the mountain on which the people
had erected statue of their patron
saint. This spur checked the adj
vance of the lava and thus some hope
is entertained that Linguaglossa will
be Vet saved.
The new crater is vaster than that
formed by the last eruption in 1919:
the ashes and cinders were so
abundant that they were carried by
the wind as far as Messina and

THE HUMAN SIDE OF BANKING
Ever Hear
Of This?

Ever hear of any one putting away few dollars
month into a Savings Account and having his
or her life insured automatically for ST. 600 or
without any extra cost?
That's just what many hundreds of people are
doing here at Mt. Vernon Savings Bank, under our
Insured Savings Plan, which we have worked out
in conjunction with the Continental Assurance Co.
Here's how it works: Suppose Mr.. John Jones
is accepted under the plan, and he deposits several
dollars month to his account, period of
years We will say he has seven or eight hundred
dollars to his credit in the bank and he dies. His
family will not only get the seven eight hundred
dollars but ST 900 or more in addition depending
on how great his monthly savings have been.
This is wonderful plan, and one you should
know about, because it is not only systematic
way of saving, but real protection for your family
as well.

The truth of the hold-up of Joseph
Cross and his wife, of Bowers Beach,
in an automobile between Dover and
their home recently, came to light
Thursday when Sheppard Gardner, a
Milton youth, nephew of Dr. Frank
Gardner OF SMYRNA, owned to having
been the unintentionai cause of the
excitement and a search by the State
police that took in the entire State.
Gardner was on his way home from
Wilmington when he discovered that
valse had fallen out. Afraid he
would miss anyone who had picked it
up if he started back, young Gardner
evolved the dangerous procedure of
pulling his car across the highway
and stopping everyone who came
along to inquire if they had found his
valise. Cross naturally supposed it
was a highwayman when the youth
and his companion came out of the
darkness to ask about the valiSe, and
made his escape. Friday the boy,
son of a Milton High School prOfes-
sor, became frightened over the search
that was being made, and explained
matters.

A town in Michigan has found that
it has enough "blue laws" to stalk a
state for thousand years. Recently
a woman's club supported by long
haired men, decided that a certain
public dance hall should be forbidden
to operate on Sunday. They went to
the prosecuting attorney and request
ed that he close the dance hall.
The prosecutor raked among the
musty law books and found this ex-
tract from the ancient Michigan stat
utes, that presumably has never beer
repealed:
mo person shall keep open his
warehouse, workhouse, shop, or shall
do any manner of labor, business
work, or be present at any dancing
or at any public diversion, or enter
tainment, or take any part in any
sport, game or play on the first day Of
the week" under penalty of fine o.
$40.
The prosecutor, probably liberal
decided to enforce the entire statute

President Harding and Ex-President
Woodrow Wilson agree that America
must have a revival of religion
Heavens! Does that mean more re-

The churches tell us that they are
having revival. They are adding
more members daily; they are rails
ing more money for missions than
ever; they are paying higher salaries
to clergymen, and they are controll-
ing politics in the interest of reform
movements. Isn't that enough?
Perhaps. But all this indicates
only that the church has become a
power socially, politically and com
mercially. 1t doesn't necessarily mean
anything else.
