SUNSET / Sughroe Stromboli Again Gives Is- landers a Bad Scare. Rome.—Stromboll, the constantly metive volcano on a small Island in the Mediterranean at the toe of Italy, burst into more than usual activity a Few days ago causing fear among the residents of the island and the nearby mainland. The activity quickly sub sided to normal, relleving the terrors of the Inhabitants who know that Italy's volcanoes have a record for be- Ing bad actors when aroused. Vesu- wvius, in 79 B. C, buried Pompell and two other cities, and after more than L500 years relative Inactivity burst forth with tremendous violence in 1631 and wiped out 18,000 people. The conditions which exist in the neighborhood of these well-known vol- canoes are duplicated in hundreds of places throughout the world where volcanoes are located In areas so highly developed and densely popu- lated. Not All Volcanoes Have Cones There are probably several thousand active, or seml-active, volcanoes on the earth, but only about 400 are known and recorded. To the average person a volcano is a cone-shaped montain out of the peak of which is sue fire, steam, hot gases and molten rock. To the scientists who specialize in the study of volcanology this Is but one of the many phases of volcanic mctivity, To them the cone-shaped mountain is common only to certain types of volcanoes. The cone is some- thing that is built up by the volcano, WR — Lieut, Thomas J. Hamilton, the new head football coach of the who already squads, and some volcanoes do not bulld cones, Mauna Loa, In Hawall, covered a vast plain with its flow before bulld- ing its present crater, The Italian vol canoes also have cones of comparative ecent origin, Stromboll’'s cone has been bullt up within 2,000 years. It started out, as did Etna and Vesuvius, as an underwater volcano, The high. er a voleano builds its cone the hard. er it is for the lava to reach the vent, and then vents are developed at lower levels. Chain Around the Earth, Great chains of volcanoes stretch around the earth. The greatest chain is In the mountain range that exiends like a ring around the Pacific ocean, Other chains stretch across Asia and Europe. The volcanic islands of the Pacific, from Hawall, through the Philippines to New Zealand, mark sub-oceanic volcanic areas. What causes volcanoes to erupt is not known. In recent decades obsery- atories have been established to study them and much Information is being gathered, Their activity is due to internal heat of the earth. This heat is not the heat of the great internal core of the earth, because that heat is reached only at great depths, and volcanoes do not have thelr roots at greater depths than six to fifteen miles. The heat which causes volcanic activity Is believed to be due to chemical action and to the great pressure produced by occluded and chemically produced gases as reactions take place between rock substances Some forces of world-wide effective ness also may be involved. This is in. dicated by the frequent simultaneous activity of volcanoes or of earth quakes In widely separated parts of the world.

BARRETT By common consent prosperity will not be fully restored until we have a return of confl- dence, The col lapse of securities and the general de- cline of all eco- pomic values is at- tributable to the sudden reversal of a mental attitude; from confidence to distrust, from hope to fear. The es- tablishment of con- fidence is essential not only to the stability of the fi. . nancial markets, but also is a prime requisite for mak- ing permanent our civilization. If we remove confidence from business we have bankruptcy. The lack of confi dence In the security of a bank causes runs and the ultimate fallure of ‘the bank, If It is not strong enough to withstand the runs. Lack of confi dence in the integrity of nations cre- ates suspicion, and In some cases in- cites war, Nations which do not trust each other soon become enemies. The same principle holds true in domestic life, Remove confidence from the home and a condition Is created which may —— wnt Champion Callers During American Farm week at the World's fair in Chicago, the world's champion husband and hog callers were selected, and here they are Above is Mrs Charles Hayes of Alta, Il, whose husband can hear her me- lodious call of “"Charrrriieeee,” no mat- ter what corner of the farm he is working.

True and last ing friendship ean only be bulit up upon confidence. As confidence is es sential to the security of the family, #0 It is the mainstay of government. The absence of confidence in the gov ernment means revolution. One needs only to read of the revolutions in France and in Russia to be convinced of this point. * We are not surprised then to read, in almost every appeal for loyalty to our government that we should eulti- vate confidence. The restoration of confidence seems to be the main ob Jective, Just so! There Iz no other way to win back more prosperous days. When we speak of confidence, however, we seem to have in mind a return of trust in some vague and in- tangible thing like chattels, mort gages, or even money. Now let us ask in all candor how any person can have confidence In an Intangible ob- Jeet. We may have faith in the re actions of certain known laws which are bound to respond when we place them to the test, like fron which will invariably be attracted to the magnet. But confidence is quite another thing. It implies action in the field of human personality, The appeal which comes to us, If we understand it aright, Is for confidence In persons; in the Integrity and the woral value of promises and covenants, Confidence then is not a blind faith by which we trust a law, but a spiritual principle by which we trust one another. ©. Western Newspaper Makes Its Wearer Feel “Just Right” PATTERN 1502 ‘here's always one frock that Is the big it tin I 3 becon , it's “just right” you feel really stunning it Is with the model Here are lines an type HE intense heat of summer made many householders consider hav. ing awnings for windows which have been left unprotected hitherto. From the standpoint of economy, now is a good time to do this work since there are excellent opportunities to buy awnings, ready to put up, at decided reductions, and awning cloth very specially priced. By having the win- dows done now, the awnings will be ready for next year as soon as the heat of the sun and the glare becomes uncomfortably strong. It is a for. tunate replacement time—if you get advance styles, Awnings vot only reduce the tem- perature of rooms, and soften the light but they go far toward dressing up the outside of the house. There is a ten- dency in newest styles to have this ornamental element featured for thé inside of the rooms as well as the ex. terior of the house. To promote this, huge flowers, or flowers and foliage are painted on the under side of the awnings, Birds and butterflies lend themselves admirably to this decora- tion as they might actually be flying and fluttering about outside the win- dow. They are gay little creatures, both in color and character, and strike a8 happy note in decoration. It is well to remember this type of awning when taking advantage of late summertime buying. Fringes Featured. Another feature to hold In mind Is that fringe is the smartest Soish for valances,. White fringe is in high favor even though there may be no touch of white [a the awning cloth. The decided contrast accents the style. Or It may be that the awning cloth Is In one plain color and a geo: metrical design or just a broad line of white forma a border for the finished awning. The border may or may not be repeated about the valance. The fringe takes up the color harmony when It edges the awning. While white is the favorite color for fringe, other colored fringes are used, some- times matching some stripe or color in the cloth, and again being In marked | contrast, in which case the style of border or band of the fringe-color on a plain color of cloth is usually fol lowed, It is a good time now to replace worn awnings instead of walling for another year. If you follow the ad- | vance styles of this season, you will find the awnings in the height of fash. | fon next year. The awning problems | will all have been solved and the awn. ings ready to be put up when next summer comes, and you will have saved money by this out-of-season buy- ing. i © Bell Erndicate «WNT Barvice, Students Seek Famous | Author's Lost Writings | 8t.
