IF you would like TO a volcanic eruption, make
Il note visit California in 1880. Lassen Peak,
the last active volcanic peak in the United States,
excluding Alaska and Hawaii is likely to let again

This prediction is made by Arthur Holmes. park
ranger of the United States National Park Service,
upon the basis statistical studies of volcanoes car

Ogy at the Imperial University of Tokyo DR.. Omori
found that many of the volcanoes around the rim of
the Pacific became active approximately every 100
years with periods of less violent action at the half
period or siXty-fifth year.
r. H Finch, who is the resident volcanoogist of
the United States Geological Survey at Lassen Peak,
points out that Kilauea Volcano IN Hawaii has been
found definitely to follow this 130year and 65-year
cycle.
Lsssen Peak located in northern California in
LasSen Volcanic National Park. erupted last in the
years from 1914 to 1917 the eruptions reaching their
greatest violence IN 1915 Mr. Holmes arrives at 1880
for the next eruption by adding IS years to 1915.
TWO ma jor eruptions of LaSSen Peak took place
LIN 1915 devastating large area on the north side
of the peak. In MAY. 1915. molten lava weled up in
the vent and filled the crater. As result, LasSen
Peak is comparatively fat-topped today
There were dozens of smaller eruptions after
Nav 1915 but their intensity continually diminished
and the last one took place in 1917
While the peak is inactive today there remain
plenty of indications of volcanic possibility. Around
the base of the peak there six containing
boiling pools of various colored acid waters There
are many cracks and vents from which live steam
escapes with intimidatng roar There also
geyser-hke fountains of boiling water and steam.

There are also reports of miners encountering hot

RENTS
liked 10 PER CENT
Move Toward Sterilization,
Rental Men Say.

Apartment rents throughout this
city have been increased approx
mately 10 per cent during the last
six weeks, four large real estate
operators revealed today.
Although unwilling to have their
firms quoted, these men told The
indianapolis Times that the move
was toward sterilization of the
apartment business and was an at
tempt to bring the rentals to a
figure approximating that of jan
uary, 1884.
One operator in a form letter to
his tenants wrote: During the
past year, the increase in commodity
prices has been 1919 per cent; since
the first of the year, go per cent.
Our minimum estimate of these in
creased costs is roughly 5 cents a
day an apartment
The movement was begun at the
earliest in October and has widened
so that it now includes almost all
the larger operators.

Foodstuff is produced in small
quantity in the Saar and prices

are almost certain to rise, and
German wages, on which future
pay in the Saar will be based, are
low.
Under the Leagues administra-
ton during the past Is years, the
Saar has been fairly prosperous.
Political and religious liberty has
been pretty complete. Return to
Germany means unquestioned
obedience to the death to Nazi

Should the repurchased Saar
mines find the export of coal no
longer possible, at least a so per

virtually inevitable. In short,
Saarlanders will come to feel the
same pinch other Germans now
suffer. And that may make

XXTASHINGTON, Jan. 15-Information comes TO
w hand from New Orleans and Baton Rouge
which seems to bear Senator Huey P. Longs re-
cent patriotic fight against the Standard Oil Co.
In the latest Of his special sessions of the
Legislature, Huey passed law imposing heavy
tax on oil refined in Louisiana. The oil company
threatened TO quit operations and move out of the
state, disemploying large number of men, At this
point, the senior Senator agreed to compromise.

WHEREBY the TAX IS 10 become sort
of tariff on oil produced elsewhere.
Louisiana oil is to enjoy a strong
preference under the revised tax
and it were captious. indeed, to OBJ
ject to an act which will have the
effect of promoting oil production
in Louisiana's own fields.
However, there are still some
captiouS souls in Louisiana.
One of them is a former stu
dent of journalism of Louisiana
State University who was dismissed
a few weeks ago for resisting the
dictator's censorship.
One reason for Huey's insistence
that the Standard use more Loui-
siana oil is because his gang will be
through their oil holdings in the st
Journalist reports. 1T will be an a
of JOY for Huey because the Stant
enemy, will have to use oil from WI
profiting."

Your Health
BY DR.. MORRIS FIsHBEIN.

BECAUSE Of the many types of joint infamma-
- tons and the varying severity of symptoms in
different cases, many forms OF treatment have been
developed both to bring about relief from the symp-
toms and, in many instances, to effect a cure.
1t has been we'll established by many years of
experience that the person with a rheumatic or
arthrltc condition passes through periods in which
ne worse and in which he is better and that he is
likely to credit each period of improvement to the
latest treatment followed.
For this reason quacks and charatans are likely
to exploit the rheumatic individual particularly.
Since it has been shown that infammations of
the joints frequently associated with infections
IN teeth and tonsis persons who suffer from chronic
lnHammatlons of the joints should have such in
tectlons attended to as soon possible.
IN some instances difficulties of digestion and an
Il accumulation of food in the bowel seem to be a
factor, and the condition of the stomach and in
testinal tract should be carefully surveyed in
connection with any Inflammation of a rheumatic
character.
When such persons become fatigued the condi-
ton is likely TO be worse. AS these conditions de-
veop there are tendencies toward Gripping because
of fixing of the joints in certain positions.
Such GRIPPING may be prevented if competent
attention is given early to the condition by quail
fed physician Such specialist will arrange to pro-
tect the joint by holding the tissues in proper posi-
ton through use of plaster of paris casts splints
braces
TN general relief may be obtained through applica-
l. ton of heat by of lniments, lotions. and
baths by devices which pull the tissues so that the
swelling does not bring about pain and by direct
application of various healing measures.
1t must be realized first, however that the gen.
eral care of person with chronic Inflammation
OF the joints is of utmost Importance. To obtain
such care it may be necessary put the patient in
a hospital or institution where he will be under
definite medical control
If the. person is depressed by his condition. a
cheerful environment and an optimistic attitude in
those around him may mean great deal in obtain
ing suitable cooperation in treatment and eventual
success.
