ROME, June 23.—The eruption of Mount Etna has entered an erratic stage, with alternating periods of in- crease and decrease in its activity. The flow of lava toward Linguag- lossa is continuing, but has slowed down to so great a degree that at the present rate it would be weeks before the town proper was reached. The visits of King Victor Em- manuel and Premier gether with that of T burn Child, the American dor, did much toward heartening the vopulation of the threatened areas and a feeling of greater confidence is reported fro mthe district now that the worst of the eruption appears to be over.

Dhotographs of the eruption.” “There has been no loss of life,” the statement, “and only a few houses and cultivated flelds through ihe lava flowed have been destroyed At Castiglione the station alone was destroyed and_raflway communcation interrupted. Thouch at Linguaglossa some houses were burned and the town may still be threatened. The lava stream is more than a mlie away. Heartened by Visits. “The Italian government has de- cided to suppress any further exagger- ation. Tt ix expected that the lava flow from Mount Etna will continue, as the voleano is now at its period of sreatest activity, but happily the lav: advance is slow. _“The king's and Premier Mussolini’s visits to the stricken area not only in- dicate an act of friendship to the Sieilian people. but are proof of the sovernment's willingness to carry out its duty in this part of the country where the population is calm and cor fident.” Pope Pius has sent 25,000 lire more 1o the Bishop of Acireale for relief work.

The prosecutors, recalling the long list of women tried for murder and acqutted in Chicago. had declared the Jurers, in a verdiet of acquittal, would virtually license “flaxen haired, bleached biondes and unfaithful wives to shoot down their husbands when- ever they have a mind to. The jury retired for deljberations vesterday afternoon. An effort was made by the state to show that McGinnis was killed be- cause he discovered unfaithfulness on the part of his wife.
