-~ 30 -STROMBOLILIGHTS P MEDITERRANEAN Geographic Bulletin Tells of . Volcano Which Is Again Terrifying Inhabitants. The constantly active volcano, Strom- boli, on Stromboll Island, in the Medi- terranean, seems to be redoubling its efforts lately, and the 3,000 terrified in- habitants are holding themselves in readiness to flee at almost any moment should the danger from the molten rocks and sulphurous gases issuing from the crater threaten thelr lives and their homes, dispatches state. “The circular cone of the volcano ‘which forms the island of Stromboli and the six other islets of the Lipari group comprise a connecting link between Vesuvius, on the mainland of Italy, and Etna, on Sicily. _The volcanic wrath of these three mighty mountains is par- tially responsible for the terrific earth shudderings at Messina and in other parts of Sicily and Italy,” says a bulle- tin of the National Geographic Society. Vulvan's Forge of the Ancients. “The situation of the Lipari group on a map suggests the idea that they are the stars which Sicily saw from a ter- rific blow in_cosmic times on the tip of her_nose, inflicted by the wrathful boot of Italy. Stromboli is living up to this figurative excuse for her existence by keeping her fires burning night and day and throwing lurid light on the Italian and Sicilian horizon. “On this mountain, which rises about 3,000 feet above sea level and about 6,000 above the floor of the sea, ac- cording to_the ancients, was one of the forges of Vulcan, on which he hammered out the scepter of Jove and the shields and spears of the gods. On its precipi- tous slopes Aeolus, the god of the winds. in company with his six sons and six daughters, was supposed to have held his revels and in the cavernous sides of the mountain to have confined the lasts. “In" medieval times tle belching |. crater of Stromboll was believed to be | the entrance to purgatory. “About a thousand feet from the|' top of Stromboli there is an opening from which steam constantly issues|; and hangs in a smoky-looking cloud about the mountain. Ordinarily it is possible to climb up to the opening | and look over upon the black floor, through the cracks of which smoke issues and the red-tot lava hisses, boils and sputters, the ‘cooking’ of the earth’s interior resembling more than anything else the boiling of a large pot of mush. As the huge bub- bles burst. lava is thrown high in the air. Sometimes the fire of the eartl quickens, as it has been doing recently, and then the hissing of the steam may be heard many miles out at sea and the lava boils over the side of the cone. E Flashes Like Lighthouses. “Stromboli, unlike the volcanoes that experience intense paroxysms of activity followed by long periods of repose, offers one of the best examples of the continuously active volcane. Standing alone in the sea, it is visi- ble for almost a hundred miles, its ever-lighted fires tinting the coluds and tre sky with a rosy glow, which —dainty, tempting Adams -Chiclets—candy- i coated with real, old fashioned peppermint.

Alexander Howat Says, “You May Produce Self Out of Job.” KANSAS CITY, Mo., August 2.—De- claring that the present period of de- pression is due to the fact that work- men have “produced too much,” and that for this reason employers are re- quiring their workmen to “take a rest,” Alexander H. Howat, president of the Kansas Miners' Union, advised the laborers not to “produce too much or you may produce yourself out of a job,” in a speech here before an au- dience of laborers. Howat spoke at the request of la- bor union leaders. PAINT - TODA And you won't have to ‘“‘replace’ tomor- Tow. ~ Good paint well applied, PROTECTS!
