Smoking Ciaders of Present
Will Yield Good Harvest in
Years to Come

Washington, Nov. 24.-(AP)-
Mount Etna is q benefactor as well
40 = destroyer.
The great volcano which has been
pouring death and destruction over
the surrounding countryside does
good Is it works evil, the National
Geographic society says.
BY eruptions, Etna fertilizes the
fields. If there were no Etna, there
probably would be no Sicily. If
there were not lava flows, the slopes
Of Europe's greatest volcano would
become an abandoned desert.
Few Sicilian peasants, however,
would admit that = tongue of
smoking lava cinder that spreads
over his field, brushes his orchard,
smashes his home and destroys his
village is a gift Of heaven.
Dynamite to Plant
When it has cooled, the jagged
bed Of frozen rock looks even less
like fertilizer. But the grcat-grend-
con Of the peasant wiped cut by
Etna's fury probably will plant and
reap q harvest on that volcanic flow
when it has weathered.
Farmers on Etna's slopes, now
blast holes in old lava beds and in
the pits plant almond, chestnut,
lemon and olive trees which thrive
vigorously on the disintegrating
volcanic rock. The best wine of
Sicily, It is said, comes from vinc-
yards on the flanks Of Etna.
Country Is Wealthy
No better proof Of the mountains
power to spread prosperity, the
Geographic society says, exists than
the necklace cf towns that encircles
the 1879 foot peak Catania,
Acireale, Giarre, Linguaglossa,
Rardaxzo, Bronte, Aderno, Palermo,
Misterbianco and others. The horn
Of plenty has poured products 50
generously into the villages that a
railroad, the Circumet- ca, has been
built to carry the surplus to the
seaport Of Catania.
Travellers find q trip on this TO-
mile railroad the best way to see
Etna. The train slides through or

CHURCH PRAYS
BY TELEPATHY
Lighted Candle and Swinging
Pendulum Used by New
Religious Group

Binghamton, N. Y, Nov. "a (AP)
"A religious group that teaches the
use of telepathy for broadcasting
prayer with view to effecting heal
ing has established itself here.
Leading opponents Of the prin-
ciples of the group here are w. Lath-
r0p Meaker and his secretary, Miss
Evelyn Smith. Public notice was
attracted to the group by the inser-
ton of this advertisement in news
paper:
Listen in-10 a. ma telepathic
experiment. Silent Prayer Circle. -
The equipment used in the rites Of
the group is simple, consisting only
Of lighted candle and swinging
pendulum. Meaker thus describes
their use:
my suggestion in this regard
would require that such a pendulum,
made from whatever materials may
be best suited to the environment,
be placed between the worshiper and
the candle.
at may be either clock-like de-
vice, kept swinging by mechanical
means which would keep it contin-
ually swinging through the flame
arc, or simply q suspended weight
which Is given fresh impulse from
time to time by an attachment, in
which case the rate Of swinging will,
Of course, remain constant, although
the length Of the arc will gradually
diminish after each fresh impulse.
I'm using the device in regular
service the pendulum should be kept
swinging constantly. Care should
be taken, however, not to make any
strained effort to adapt the service
to its rhythm"
It was further explained that 81
lent prayer was broadcast mentally
by the leaders Of the cult every
morning at 10 o'clock and that by
tuning in at this time it was hoped
those in need Of healing would re-
ceive much benefit.

FLOOD, FARM
BILLS PREPARED
FOR COOLIDGE:
Congress BUSHES Work on
Two Measures to Send
to President.
BY THOMAS i. GTOKES
United Press Special Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April 30.--Con-
gress this week will ,repare two
measures-flood control and farm
relief-for presentation to President
Coolidge, who has criticised both of
them.
8 Leaders expect his veto of the
McNary- Haugen farm aid measure
but hope the flood bill as it comes
from the conference which began
today will be sufficiently acceptable
to receive the Presidents signature.
Speed Final Action
Final congressional action is eX-
pected this week on the Jones' Reid
flood bill. The ten conferees Of
House and Senate will seek to adj
just differences as early as possible.
Their work must be confirmed by
both bodies before the measure can
be sent to the White House.
Final action on the farm relief
bill is doubtful Several hours of
debate are left in the House. The
measure should be passed by the
middle or last part of the week,
as it is the plan to have night
sessions to speed up consideration.
The bill will then have to go to
conference to adjust differences be-
tween the Haugen measure of the
House and the McNary bill APP
proved by the Senate a few weeks
ago.
Presidential politics has been in
jected into debate on both the
farm and flood measures.
See Effect on Hoover
The charge has been made sew
eral times that the main purpose
in pressing the McNary- Haugen
legislation again in face of the
Presidents open and continued dis
approval, is to make political capital
for the LoWden and Dawes move
mentS among the farmers, and at
the same time to enlbarrasS the can
didacy of Secretary of Commerce
Hoover, who opposes the McNary-
Haugen bill.
Political observers also have spec
ulated upon the effect flood bill
veto might have upon the Hoover.
candidacy, Since Hoover won con-
sierabIe favor last spring by his
relief work in the flood stricken
areas
