Besides, the President does not think he can spare the time in Washington to put on boots and other riding regalia and then go some distance to sta- bles.

By the Associated Press. NAPLES, Italy. July 30.—In the throes of its most violent eruption in 12 years. Mount Vesuvius this morning hurled hundreds of tons of incandescent fragments far into the air, while a buge stream of lave crept over;the edge of the crater into “The Valley of Hell” towards the Bay of Naples. Although Prof. Alessandro Mal- ladra, head of the observatory. de- clared that there was no imminent danger, the population of the towns of Torre Annunziata and Torre del Greco and residents of the region lying below the valley began to make preparations for a quick flight to Naples shovid the column of lava continue its downward course to their homes. The low point at which the lava is finding exit from the crater is covered already by the hardened flow of Nov. 3, 1926. but the extent and force of the present flow of flaming material has not been equaled since Jan. 2, 1916. All night long there were violent explosions, accompanied by the hurling of burning fragments from the crater which continued at a rate of several every minute. A column of pink flame-flacked smoke, rising to a bank of ominous clouds, was outlined against the blackness of the sky.
