 DARING INTO SHADE
Hungarian Engineer Descends Into
 StromboIi's Bowels 930 Feet

MILAN, May 15.-An exploit which throws into the shade Professor Malladra's daring descents of the slumbering crater of Vesuvius has just been achieved by Hungarian engineer, Arpad Kirncr who has descended into Strnmboli to depth of 93O feet while the volcano was in a state of activity.
 The engineer is here en route for Paris, where he will publish scien- tific report of the expedition.
 By way of preparation for the des- cent Kirner donned a complete suit of asbestos. material with an asbes- tos mask and a metal helmet for protection against the rain of vol canic material. He was also pro- vided with an oxygen breathing ap- paratus. Upon him was installed a system of electric telegraph wires which ran through the rope used in the descent. By pressing a button in his waistband an electric lamp at the top end signalled to his com panies on the edge of the crater. He was four hours in the crater. and when finally hauled to safety was in a state of collapse.
 During the latter stage of the re- turn climb inside the crater his sup

CAMEL TRACKS

The big revolving ladder stunt which is to introduce Jim Parker and Bill Simpson aloft is In daliy operation at the Avenue theater, where the pair may be seen in ac- ton but as they are both bashful it is best to wait until the ladder is up and working at the Shrine Sirkus. Then, too, they might fall off and break their contracts, 1T they thought you were watching.
 Emil Gang says that he has had as much fun as anyone in this world. and that the only thing that would make him want to live his life over would be the desire to master the tango. He was inspired with this idea after trying to dance the Ar genuine creation at Douglas. There are times when no man can dance.

 Noble Billy Lount has decided to add a milk mans matinee to the Shrine Sirkus program. This musi- cal will be given about four o'clock in the morning so as to give the milk. and icemen a chance to attend. Those who have heard the noble play at that hour say that he excels on is sure to be one of the big things of the sirkus
 Some one asked Noble Lem Stall ings of Bisbee what a man leaning against a lamp post was doing. Well" drawled Lem, there was a time when I would have said he was drunk, but nowadays he might be learning new dance"
 Did you get that call'' of your committee man to come to the i Shrine office and help with your committee. Up-to- date there has been a good attendance at the office but there are whole lot who have
 not shown up as yet, and still when
 the circus is over they will want to claim part of the credit. The fact is you can't build the temple and sit ! down in your office and say: Let George do it." You can however | come up and help by suggesting lsome idea The circus is just two

Social and Reeertion.

The Ladies Circle of the First

lay" social and reception Friday
afternoon, at the residence of Mrs

T ENT is that season of the year
when it Is fashionable to be re-
ligious, because it gives one
such blessed opportunity to recover
from auction bridge losses or to re-
tire to hospital for an operation.
In the beginning, fashionable wo,n-
en- beat tom toms to call attention to
their sacrlflcial fires and in the end
only those are found kneeling In PEN

grimages of old that started out with
inspiring music and brave numbers
and that reached the Easter OF their

faithful left.
With Daysey Wayne Appleton,
Lent Is a vicarious atonement. in
true Lenten spirit she persuades 9TH
ers to make sacrifices, sustained by
the knowledge that self denial Is for
their best good, and that the saving
of others is more to be desired than
saving herself-a beautifully fashion
able creed.

Then she felt that the time had
come for personal endeavor, and with

she spends her days embroidering an
