IVesuvious Joins Etna
in Threat to Homes of
Thousands of Peasants

NAPLES, Nov. While Mount
Etna is still burning hurler OF
lava and the lands and villages on
the way to the sea resemble bat
tleground, Mount Vesuvius, only
200 miles to the north, is beginning
to bubble and sends fiery streams
into the air, threatening the homes
Of thousands of other peasants.
For several days Vesuvius has
been hurting lava from assures in
the main crater. Tourists and
scientists find the spectacle inter-
esting, but the peasants are filled
with anxiety.
While the flow of lava from Etna
has slowed down, due to its expan-
sion on the beach, observers are not
altogether sure that the volcano has
entirely gone to sleep"
Meanwhile 1000 peasants are
homeless. Their houses, containing
all their possessions, are complete
wrecks. Lava has destroyed the
fields, killed the livestock, and ii
may be several years before the
fields again produce.
Desolate peasants move about the
dangerous area, anxious to ap
preach the site of their former
homes and recover whatever they
can. But no one is admitted into
the district unless he has specia
pass from the officials, which is
hard to obtain.

British Wool Workers
Faced With New Drive
on Wage Standards

BRADFORD, England, Nov. 49,
A conference for the purpose of re-
ducing wages Of workers in the wool
mills here, is to take place shortly
under the auspices of the joint in
dustrial board.
At present only 40 per cent of the
workers are on full time. A week
ago, Rotary club speaker, review
ing the status of the industry, said
that competition abroad had seri-
ously affected the British textile in
dustry, and in order to save them
selves the mill-owners had only one
way out. That was to economic at
home in cutting the wages of the
workers.

A Tragedy at Albany.

Students OF political zoology should
not be too precipitate in finding an omen
of Ill fortune for the Democracy in the
death at Albany Of the infant donkey
that was presented to Gov. Smith by
the Democratic National Convention at
Houston. 1t does not follow that this
sad result of the shifting of the little
creature at the tender age of week
from Texas to New York signifies mis-
fortune for the party whose emblem it
represented. Nevertheless there is a GER
tain sinister suggestiveness In this trag-
edy at Albany In the first place the
location of the Democratic Convention
at Houston was striking departure
from the traditions of the party main

States, was the scene of the nomination

donkey was taken from the maternal

was changed by Geographic amendment

service as the symbol of the party, was
suddenly put into the same corral with

sentries Against Disease.

An excellent example Of medical pre-
paredness is furnished by the New York
Academy Of Medicine and the Health
Department of New York City In the
safeguards adopted this Summer against
possible epidemic Of poliomyelitis or
infantiie paralysis.
Thus far there have been no actual
cases Of this obscure and dreaded
nervous disease. DR. Simon Fiexner,
late of the Rockefeller Foundation, and
other authorities have issued warnings,
however that an outbreak Is about due.

eress OF Physicians and Surgeons In

ical board does not exonerate war gas
Neither does It find It as bad as 1t has
been painted. The report should prove
reasSuring to many American veterans
who suffered from this cause, but at
the same time 1t should serve as a
warning to them to take care of them
selves.
Among the preliminary conclusions
of the investigating board are the fol-
lowing:
That at ten years after casing there
are patients who show definite ana
tomical and clinical residual for which,
In some cases. there are no contributory
factors.
That the most common organic
residua are pulmonary. but that tuber-
culosis is not prominent residuurn.
The board found that chlorine gas,
when used alone, was less likely to leave
pathological after-affects than either
mustard or phosgene gas.
The rate OF tuberculosis is a little
higher among men who have been
saSsed than among men who have not.
Bat gaSSing is far from ticket to a
sanitarium.

though preventive treatment still re-
mains to be discovered. The infantile

early stages of the disease. Hence, with
more than a fifty per cent chance of an
outbreak this Summer. comes the inn
portance of taking time by the fore

The after-effect Of gas warfare on Its

Actual results, however, did not seem

and from its rosy accounts OF condi-

actually was blessing IN disguise.

little authentic information. The gas

EVERYDAY RELIGION
BY THE RIGHT REF. JAMES f. FREEMAN, D, d, Ill. D.,
Bishop of Washington

He restoreth my soul;
He leadeth me in the paths of right
eousness for His names sake"
In both OF these passages the init
mate relation that God bears to His
children is disclosed. His constant
guidance, His supervising and protect
ing care, His recognition of individual
valueS-all these are implied in these
glowing passages. There is nothing OF
an absentee Cod here suggested. In
our conceptions of God as the eternal
Father, we do not relate Him as init
mately and Immediately to the con-
Germs of our individual lives as we
should. Our relations with. Him are
impersonal, not personal. We think OF
God as the Creator and Ruler OF the
universe, whose large concerns preclude
consideration for us as individuals. Inc
Psalnnist cries out, When 1 consider
Thy heavens, the work OF Thy fingers
the moon and the stars which Thou
hast ordained: what Is man that Thou
art mindful of him?" He could not, as
he beheld the marvellous works OF ma
t,lre believe that God had concern fol
individual souls.
The whole emphasis of the ministry
of Jesus. His Interpretation OF the re-
lation of God to His children, was de-
signed to show not only His imnanence,
but His consideration for particulars
Only as we come to grasp the deep sig
nificance of His words do we realize IN
our lives the satisfaction and peace that
proceed from living faith in guiding
and protecting God. We may reason as
we will concerning God and His at
tributes: we may regard Him as "hrs'
cause" being so infinite and all pow
erful as to elude all our speculatlons
and conjectures concerning Him, but we
get no satisfaction out of such reason
ing II is only as we seek to under :
stand through Christ's Interpretation OF
Him that He comes within the range OIL
our thinking and understanding, and
within the needs and requirements oil
our common. everyday experience. Far
better the Good Shepherd who calls HIS
sheep by name than an abstraction that
is cold, incomprehensible and hlusiVe.
THE King of Love my Shepherd Is,
Whose goodness faileth never;
I nothing lack II / am His,
And He is mine forever"
