Johnson igf South | Dakota, declared last night at the an- nual banquet and ladies’ night of the | District of Columbia Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, held in the Mayflower Hotel. The speaker stressed the importance of the work being done by the various patriotic societies and the wide influence they can exert so long as they limit themselves strictly to the objects for which they were formed He added that, had the great number of patriotic societies of today existed ir 1916, we might either have kept out of the World War altogether, or gone into it with an Army and Navy twice as large as was the case, insuring a quick triumph. President Robert C. Tracy presided and introduced representatives of other organizations who présented greetings Yhese included Miss Helen Hdirman, State Tegent, District of Columbia Daughters of the American Revolution; Mrs. Noble New- rt Potts, president of the National | triotic Council; Mrs. Samuel Shaw Arentz, president of the National So- | elety of the Children of the American | Revolution; Mrs. David D.

NAPLES, Italy, January 21.—An- clent Vesuvius presented a new problem to scientists today after fresh growlings and_explosions last night The problem 1s, Why has Vesuvius' light gone out? No one was hurt by last night's dem- onstration, which consisted of a light | earthquake shock and loud explosive noises and rumblings underground. As soon as the explosions ceased the crater, which always has been aglow at night by internal fires, had become cold dark, and remained that way. Scien- tists today began an investigation to determine why An observatory, a military police bar- racks, a convent, a railroad and a hotel on the volcano’s side “danced,” reports | said, during the disturbance, but re- mained upright.

Blanton, Democrat, of Texas | ‘The House had previously trimmed | $177,000 from the budget estimates for the Bicentennial Commission. | Representative Blanton reminded his colleagues that Representative Bloom had “very ably defended an item in this deficiency bill on the floor of the House against all assaults. This went to the | Senate,” he explained, “and they did| a very unusual thing, something I have never known them to do before—they reduced the amount of this appropria- | tion.” As the House murwhnxmmgxy} supported Mr. Bloom, the Texan asked Chairman Byrns of the House Appro- priations Committee what the attitude of-the House conferees would be Chairman Byrns replied that “the at- titude of the conferees would be to sustain the action of the House in| appropriating the $250,000, I can assure | you” He said “that the conferees will ¢do all they can to sustain what they believe to be the sentiment of the House | with reference to this and all other!
