VESUWUS INCREASES
EXPLOSIVE ACTIVITY;
Lava FLOW lessons
Tremendous earrages Of Rocks
and Ashes lombard Walls
OF Boiling Crater

Naples, Italy, June 6.-Op-Ex-
plosive activity in the eruptive cone
Of Mount Vesuvius increased today
with tremendous barrages Of rocks
and ashes bombardinR the walls Of
the great crater. There was q slight
subslding in the flow Of lava how.
yer
An official bulletin from the
vesuvius observatory said further
1anger probably would be avoided,
yet it concluded:
But the life Of VOLCANOES is SO
mysterious that one cannot Judge
the outcome from the appearance Of
the moment"
Villagers around the southern and
eastern base of the volcano ere
panic-stricken as they deserted their
homes, the ruins OF Pompeii, de-
stroyed ~ centuries before, always
mute testimony Of what Vesuvlus
could do.
Trudging behind their two
wheeled carts which carried house,
hold effects and all their worldly
possessions, they prayed they might
be delivered from 1.-The wrath Of
Vesuvius," and sang hymns Of trust
and faith in providence.
Lava from a flow first started to.
ward Campitello woods but some
how changed its course and entered
the village itself.
The lava oozed around the dwell
ings, smoke poured from windows
and then the walls bulged like the
skin of q baked potato. AS the walls
crumpled the houses disappeared in
the river of fiery liquid rock. Speed
OF the flow was asserted by obser-
vors to be at times as high as 1900
feet an hour.
The pillars of smoke from the
cone have cast a pail over the entire
area, giving it much the appearance
Of a dire prophetic twilight.
A brief telephoned communique
from the Vesuvian observatory said
that the lava flow had temporarily
halted in the neighborhood Of
Terzigno. The inhabitants of the
region attributed the cessation to
the Intervention Of st. Gennaro,
patron Of Naples.

Luck Charm. I"

Belief Of human beings in good luck.
whatever that may be, continues to get
them into trouble. Recently In this
city two gypsy women persuaded q
housewife, met in a grocery store, that
1t would be well for her If she permitted
them to deposit a charm" In her
pocketbook.
Later when she opened the money
container she discovered that such
charms" work one way only. Report
ing the loss of IS to the police, she
said she at first supposed that she was
to profit from the good luck the
strangers invoked.
1t would seem that desire for personal
gain Is at the bottom Of most such
mulctings. Yet no doubt the strange
inability of the average person to say
mo" TO the average voluble stranger
plays q part, too.
Long before modern business had
developed the science of salesmanship
which depends so largely upon the gift
Of CAB, the members of Romany Rye
had evolved their own little art Of talk
ing strangers into doing something they
wanted them to do.
Scarcely a month goes by in a large
city but some gullible person is re-
lieved OF hard-earned cash by so-called
confidence men. The confidence Of the
victim Is gained. The strange fear oil
saying no" is bolstered by the secret
desire for personal gain.
The tendency of others is to laugh
at all such accounts, and to wonder how
any one could be 50 foolish, but the
sad fact Ii that many such would be
the first to succumb to the lure Of the
mysterious when 1t is presented by q
persuasive talker.
Beware the stranger who promises &c
do something for you out Of a cleal
sky! The chances are that he wants
to help himself at your expense.

Many Vital Issues Must Be Cleared Up
If Great Naval Conference Succeeds

inch guns, which by its speed can es-
cape from capital ships and by its
armament beat any 8-inch-gun cruiser.
Germany Is building three more of
these. Will any other power desire to
construct similar types? How can this
desire be conciliated with the new
treaty and what hypothetical ratios
should be established.
Submarine Issue.
What about the burning issue Of sub
marines? Great Britain considers them
disloyal weapons and wants to prohibit
them. France and Italy contend they
are the poor mans weapon against the
rich man and only disloyal when dis
loyalty used. Japan tends to agree on
this point with France and Italy. The
the British contention, but without
much conviction. If submarines are
not abolished, shall they be diverted
into two categories, as Great Britain
wishes, those Of the larger type to be
capable of long sea voyage, and those
of smaller capacity merely for coast de-
tense? Shall both categories be limited,
or only the larger? In what ratios?
Shall the conference consider hydro
are believed by experts to be at least as
destructive OF capital ships as sub
marines. American tests revealed the
possibility of accurate bombing from q
relatively safe height-10,000 feet.
Planes can also FIRE torpedoeS consider
able distances by swooping and can
pursue fleets into bases. But If naval
air forces are considered, how can these
be practically distinguished from other
air forces?
In connection with ratios, italy in
sists on complete parity with France
in all classes Of ships, just as the
United States insists on complete parity
with Great Britain. The Anglo-Amer-
lean parity has been practically reached,
but the Franco-Italian compromise still
remains to be found, for France thus
far vigorously resistS the italian claim.
1t is from this point of view that the
Franco Italian separate negotiations,
which are now about to begin, are par
ticularly interesting. If France and
italy cannot agree, the whole confer
ence Is jeopardized. Moreover. If
France and italy agree on too high q
tonnage figure, Great Britain may be
Obliged to request revision OF the
Anglo-American compromise tonnage
figures.
Finally. II the conference fails owing
to the Franco-Italian problems, can
some sort of three-power agreement Of
Japan. United States and Great Britain
be submitted?
1t win be readily seen from the fore
going list that those confronting the
task Of preparing the conference and
negotiating the new treaty Of London
are facing numbers Of very serious OBJ
stacles.

some Of his favorites. OF the operas,
he is particularly fond Of Verdi and
Wagner.
O. Are there more telephones or
more automobiles in the United Statesf'
"A. w.
A. There are more automobiles than
telephones. Automobiles and trucks
totaled about 24,400,000 in 1928 and
telephones about 18,500,000. A tele-
phone serves more people than an auto
bile can. so it cannot be said that more
people use automobiles than telephones.
@. How should the salutation of Q

ton would be Mr.. President" If It u

fact that the fliterate classes constt.
tuted the main body Of those being pun
ished for crimes Of violence, while the
educated classes were more fully rep
resented by those serving time Tor
crimes against property.
Q. How much does it cost New York
City to keep its streets clear Of snow
and ice in the Winter timex. 8.
A. In the Winter Of 1925-2S it was
necessary to employ $4,000 men and
the expense amounted to $3.50, 231.6t.
@. If the moon is now getting far
ther from the earth, when will 1t re.
turn?-E. o. G.
A. The Naval Observatory says 1t -
stated by Jeffreys, who has made an
elaborate mathematical investigation Of
the subject, that the moon will begin
to return to the earth before 1t reaches
twice its present distance and will con-
tinue to approach until it comes so
near that It will be torn to pieces BY
the attraction of the earth. The frag-
ments will then form q ring around the
earth like that of Saturn. Russell,
without disputing this conclusion, adds
that the sun may have ceased to shine
before this exceedingly slow recession
and return Of the moon are completed.

Mr.. Macdonald Goes Home.

Prime Minister Macdonald has sailed
for home, embarking from Canada,
which was the scene Of his farewell
activities in North America Before an
other week is gone he will be back In
London and in the throes Of a parlia-
mentary session with which the fate
and fortunes of the British Labor party
! are Immediately and intimately in
volved.
The ensuing months are destined to
bring prompt indication of the staying
powers of the Macdonald government.
At present 1t is basking in the. high
favor Of a united country and OF a
more or less united House of Commons.
MIR. Snovdens Gibraltarian stand at
The Hague Preparations Conference and
Mr.. Macdonald'S accomplishments In
Wash ngton have ob!iterated British
party lines, as far as the Labor cabinets
foreign program is concerned.
1t is with respect to purely domestic
affairs that Labor's worries are about
to set In. Mr.. Macdonald will need all
the political acunen he and his asso-
ciates can muster to survive the period
of stress and storm which awaits them.
Reparations and naval limitation are
vital issues for Britain, but unemploy-
ment, still rife throughout John Bulls
tight little island, is paramount. 1t
still stalks specterlike throughout the
length and breadth of the kingdom.
None of these considerations dims
the luster of Mr. Macdonald's visit to
our own shores. 1t will CLEAN for all
time as bright page in British-Amer
lean history. Probably no description
of its object or of its effect Is more
accurate than to say that 1t created a
new state of mind. The responsible
rulers Of the two great English-speaking
realms came together, not to patch up
an alliance or a secret understanding,
as sovereign statesmen in unregenerate
international times were wont to do on
similar occasions. Prime Minister Mac
donald and President Hoover COM
muned to no such Anticipated purpose.
They met as modern heads Of states to
discuss modern questions in the modern
manner, devoid of intrigue, circumlocu-
ton or selfish aim.
AS time passes 1t will be revealed to
what practical ends the official leaders
Of the British and American peoples
put their heads together in Washington
this month. 30 much has undoubtedly
been achieved already: the peril Of q
serious clash Of views between the two
countries has bsen rendered unlikely to
the point of impossibility. That Is q
result Of the Macdonald visit almost
beyond the power of appraisement.
America bids the prime minister hail
and farewell. He came, he saw, he
conquered. We made the acquaintance
OF statesman Of transparent sincerity,
uncomfortable earnestness and COM
pelling charm. To watch him in action,
as many Of us in the East were priV-
legged to do, was to understand his
meteoric career in British politics. AS
long as Ramsay Macdonald adorns that
arena in the post of power, the cause
OF Anglo-American friendship, with
which is wrapped UP the peace of the
world, is in safe and sturdy hands.

roadway TO . maximum height Of four
stories above the street surface. That,
1t is believed, will prevent the dark
ening of the surface, at least in the
area proposed for the initial work, where
the buildings are only moderately high.
Just what could be done in this regard
in the canyon area of downtown New
York is a question.
Really little doubt may be felt on
the score Of this undertaking. The
situation In the big town is acute. The
traffic is growing and the streets cam
not be widened. To provide a second
story for vehicles would therefore seem
the most logical remedy. Perhaps in
time there will be a third story. Maybe
the Manhattan Of q couple Of centuries
