Cattain, Sielay, Nov. 10—(UP)
The advancing lava stream from Mount Eulen reached the bridge near Mancall at 2 a.m., today, increasing speed and volume as fresh rock has added to the destructive torrent.
Stream Is Increasing in Size and Volume Hourly
The advanced stream is now made up of two of the currents which have been altered by a fast sedimentation into a new territory. In two hours today this main stream advanced 60 feet, after having increased in depth and speed hourly during the night.
Already the eruptions from this
Lava Eruption Continues
great mountain of fire have caused damage estimated to be over $10 million in this damage will be increased if the wile stream of lava continues to pour down on the mountain.
Only two persons have been killed because the great vector gave warning to unassessed the former treasures of lava and forced to evacuate their homes in the powerful little villages which lie at the bottom of the mountain side.
All of the villages are deserted.
Some have been damaged. Marshall has been destroyed, only a few building remaining standing in ruins with debris still falling on the city destroying it as it was destroyed some 300 years ago.

Neighbors by Edith Umdenstock
Ours is a small community where quarrels spring up from some very trivial cause or none at all and sometimes persist for years. There are several quarrells in progress at the present time which seem to be more serious than others, but it is seldom that anyone inquires into their origin and much less often that it occurs to anyone that they might ever end. However, I had never even suspected that the Winter's and the Evens' were not on the friendly terms. They had lived across the country and if not intimate had certainly not been hostile.
One afternoon I was quitting with Mrs. Winter when she said something that gave me my first notion anything was wrong between them and the Evans'. I expressed my surprise.
Mrs. Winter is a thin, energetic little women. I have never seen anyone who could do as much in a day as she. She was abrupt and final in her speech: "the kid."
I plan to imagine, and explain,
"Maybe it is the Klan" I remarked tentatively.
"It's the klan," she said with precision.
"I don't Klan," she said. "How is that? You don't belong to KLAN."
"No," she snapped, "I don't, and that ain't all." I began to think I had not been very tactful but, in fact, I was too much for her.
"Oh, so it is because the Evans' are Klassenen and you do not sympathetic with the Klan." I offered.
"No, I don't belong to the Klan, but Mr. Evans told me that I should believe like him." I thought I could detect someone's tenure; her voice for any woman who could permit herself to take unquestioned the beliefs of her husband.
Lawrence, Kansas. November 11. 1928
Knowing Mrs. Evans's kindly disposition I ventured a word in her favor.
"No, I guess I don't. Why, some of the best friends I got are Catholics, and I don't care who they are."
"That's strange," I said sympathetically. "What do you think is the matter?"
"But I do not suppose that Mrs. Evans has any grudge against the Catholics as individuals," I said. "It is all a matter of this Catholic control that they talk so much about."
"Dont tell me it i cant the individual," she said with conviction. "I know them K, K's. They think they know them."
I wondered in just what fashion Mrs. Winter night the Klan intended to "give after the individual."
But she continued, "Yes, sir, she isn't any use for the Catholics anytime. I know it. One day she was over here and we was a chattin' often as just please as one could want when Mrs. O'Donnell come. Mrs. O'Donnell is Catholic, you know. Mrs. Evans, she was in her church and then she didn't say anything more. Pretty soon he got up and said, 'Well, I guess I better be goin', and she walked out o' this house and straight home. Well, I just thought to myself, 'Mrs. O'Donnel is a whole lot better friend of mine than Mrs. Evans who doesn't like it she just don't have to, that's all.' And we haven't spoke to each other to this day."
It was several weeks afterwards that I was sitting on Mrs. Evans' front porch one evening. Ed had come down to see Mr. Evans about some hogs and I had come along. Mrs. Evans was a very quiet woman of something past middle age. She gave the impression of always being tired. She moved in a deliberate manner and spoke slowly and low. She smiled rather faintly yet sweetly. Her husband might be a Klassenan of more or less radicalism, yet she knew he was a gentleman with an attitude of which Mrs. Winter had accused her. We were chatting of matters of neighborhood interest when Mrs. Evans missingly remarked:
"I just wonder what's the matter with Mrs. Winter. We never were very thick, she and I. Oh, we used to talk across the road about our gardens and chickens, like most neighbors do. And we used to borrow little things back and forth sometimes. Oh, sometimes we used to go to see each other when there was something special, like the time we put poison on the rats and I went over to tell Mrs. Winter to keep her dog tied. Times like that we used to step and talk along about one thing and another. Then all at once she quit coming and another. She won't even speak when we met."
SONG FOR AN AUTUMN DAY
The wind's begun to whistle, as it does when days get cold. It the leaves have just begun to turn to red and brown and gold. The autumn smoker' has begun to trail. The sky's not quite so blue. And just this morning, all the lawns Shone white with frozen dew.

You have spread—
A never fading color
Over the shaded canvas
Of my Youth.
You have woven
a never tearing thread
Over the tangled network
Of my thought.
You have composed
A never wearying song
Upon the untuned keys
Of my heart.
Ob, you must be a painter.
A weaver,
And a composer, too;
And
Unfading,
Untearing,
Unwearying
Is my Love for you.

SONNET
For five swift years I've kindled my young love
for the bright flame of your warm heart's devotion
Only the fire that cleanses may behove
My heart to pay for any such emotion.
And now I feel the warmth of your caress
Like bettysweet upon a rain-bladed bough.
Like a wilderness in offered on your silver altars now
I've watched the rain through many a lambent

"It might be, but I don't think so," she repiled. "There isn't any reason why they can't that I know of. They just don't want to. They've got a lot of them. They're are really on the side of the Catholics, I guess."
"But the thing that really hurt me," continued Mrs. Evans somewhat weary, "was when mother died. She didn’t even come near. But the day of her death, she had to go back to front window and there they stood and watched everything that went on over here. I wondered what folks that came thought of me having neighbors like that. If they were that curious, why would they not question? They could have seen a whole lot better."
A Letter to Mars
by John Wales
Some time ago I made the acquaintance of Jarmar Wak. He is a student of anthropology at the University of Mars and at present is visiting our planet and trying to understand its physical appearance and can pass for one of us quite easily. I am respecting his confidence and am not revealing the name he has adopted for this world. He refuses to disclose his means of transference and communication between the two planets.
The epistle enclosed is the first of a series of letters which he sends regularly to his friend Professor Schlutterz. Since sending it he has learned our language and has transmitted it for my benefit. He sends these reports and has promised to translate the matter into English so that he gets time to do so. His first letter follows:
To thee, oh master, strength, knowledge, and glory. Oh master, hall! Ooh friend, I salute thee! I am in the world of the faithless even as you have been before me. So watch them and look into their faces, seeking to learn their thoughts. Daily I become more familiar with them and daily I long for the home-land. I speak not the language and have no friends to talk to, nor do I call on in my distress. Oh master, I am sad.
I have sought first, my master, their religion, for have you not said, "As is the nation's religion, so is the nation's life?" Lo, it is a land of many religions. It is not a land with one god as our wise men have taught us. They worship many gods. Although I cannot understand what they say, I can see which gods they put forth the most effort to please.
There is one god whom they worship quite actively. Morning and evening they go through their queer form of worship. When alone, just before retiring at night and again in the morning they stop while partly dressed to perform the ceremony which they superstitiously expect to ward off bad luck of some sort. During the day some gather in large groups to uniform ceremonial dress they go through their immersion in the honor of the great god. It is when they are in these large groups that the ceremony is most impressive
The men are all dressed in a uniform of white while the women wear black and white. Often I have watched the men as they lift aloft their arms, rise on their toes and sigh deeply as though in adoration of their god. They are not, however, in deep thought as a glimpse of their faces clearly shows. They move with grace as if they fall to the floor and balance by their arms to saudah thus deeply. Following this they enact many other strenuous feats. In one of these movements they stand erect, lift their arms above their heads then down to their breasts, out in front, back to their breasts and down to their sides. They do this again and again. As they do it they beat their breasts with their fists while their leader chants. Finally they lift aloft their arms above their heads and bending only at the waist they bow down to the floor. Then they rejoice again they bow in humble submission. Once, twice, thrice, and thrice again they bow before the great god.
There is another religion in which they worship in great crowds and with priests. The priests are attired in dirty garments. They are divided in two parties each party wearing a different color. They wear a shiny dress and take part in the incantation with shouts and songs as directed by their leaders. I have called it an incantation and if I have surmised alright it is an invocation to the rain god. If such it, it is very effective for it nearly always produces the priests is size and strength. They are a group set aside and looked up to by the rest of the people. When not in their priestly garb they wear sweaters of distinctive color and label that they may not be known and admired by the lesser persons. From the way in which the priests are respected it can be assumed that the god himself is sincerely worshipped.
These are the more important religions. I take them to be religions because they produce no material wealth and because of the zealous way in which they worship, they are considered minor deities. One of the least important gods they
