miles in circumference, 1ncloslng an area of some 2,650 acres, the floor being made of hardened lava, partly smooth and partly rough, and oIten wrought into all sorts of grotesque shapes. Steam and sulphur are pour ing out from many places.
 Crater Within Crater
 But within this great crater, a It- tie southwest of the middle, there IS another one, something over 1000 feet in diameter, filled with the boil ing lava This is called IIalemaumau, 'sThe House of Everlasting Fire" Af- ter lunch we drive thither, a ride of seven miles still in our automo bile, passing on the way Kilaueaik1 and Keanakakoi, two extinct craters Cor which there are many hereabouts,) splendid natural amphitheaters W1th smooth, brown lava floors and yer dure growing up the sides. When at last we descend to the great crater, cross it and reach the rim of the smaller one within and look over the edges of that a scene is presented which surpasses relief or description. I think nobody can quite form an idea of it who hasn't seen it. With many of the wonders of nature, Mia gara, for example, or the Grand Can yon. I have heard people say: Well this is great-it is tremendous. but it it not quite as great as I expected" I certainly did not feel like that, in looking for the first time on this ter rible sight, visible and boiling hell right at my feet.
 The wall of this inside crater is generally 500 feet deep. It was that deep last May. But the lava has been gradually rising since that time till the fiery lake is now less than 100 feet below the rim, and 1t is rising still, though higher now than it has been for many years. In the middle of this lake is lack, rough, irregu- ,lar-shaped promontory which looks

Senate Adopts Klett
 Sunday Sport Bill

Hartford. May 3.-A Sunday sport bill introduced by Senator Klett on the day that Gov. Holconsb vetoed the liberal Sunday bill was adopted by the senate this afternoon. This would permit amateur sports of all kinds on Sunday anywhere in the state. Objec- tion had been made by church organ izations to the wording of this bill but Senator Klett offered an amendment which in effect would prohibit the charging of any admission fee or of taking up of any collection from spec tators at any of the games. The measure has gone to the hczee, where It is believed the sentiment will be favorable to it.

like an island. The top of it is now about as high as the rim of the era ter. But the proprietor of the Vol cano House ( Greek who rejoices in the combined glory of the names of Demosthenes and Lycurgus) tells me that few months ago this island was 500 feet lower than it is today, that it has gradually been pushed up by the molten mass below.
 would not like to be near when it topples over like an iceberg, which it may do soon if the lava keeps on r1s- ing. Around this island and against the circular walls of the crater the fiery flood rages and seethes, sweep ing generally toward the left( while. I was watching it) as it circles with in this tremendous cauldron. Now there are no actual flames such as you see when house burns down or forest is consumed. It is not like that at all. But if you have stood near the door of a blast furnace and seen the molten metal run out and gradually become black from contact with the air and then more white and red metal follow, you can form a bet ter idea of this molten lake.
 Gorgeous Fire Display
 Yet that comparison is inadequate you would have to multiply the fur mace thousands of times and then you would not see half the things go- ing on in this crater. The lava that floats around is dark with fringes of bright red. Then from the midst of it leaps up a great fountain of bright liquid fire and scatters in all direc- tions, sending it's gleaming spray thir- ty or forty feet high, then another fountain rises, and then a third; then the fountains egin to move, approach ing the rim of the crater and dash against it like waves of the ocean, and you hear roar like the reakers on rocky each; then there is quiet for a few seconds, then all breaks

 Under the auspices of the Home Gardens committee, plowmen and teams were put to work to blow and harrow the soil which will be taken over by the American Boy Scouts and titled. They will be fully guided in their operations by Arthur Reeve and David Traurig, agricultural students. who arrived today from the Connecti- cut Agricultural college at Storrs. Other plots of ground will be sim- ilarly cultivated, but the Home Gar. dens committee have far less available ground than needed for the number oi hands they have pledged to work in Bridgeport The public is therefore requested to donate such lands as are available for this purpose

MIGMAM-REMARKABLE PICTURE

The Wigwam today is showing for
the last time Motherhood a very re-
markable picture. It presents the ef-
fects of war which are not COM
monty thought Of. It shows that war
is no respecter OF persons, whether
Young, old or women It shows men
transformed from good, respectable
citizens and loving fathers into fiends.
Interpolated into the picture are
scenes of real war. These scenes were
taken in France. They show immense
bodies of troops, the loading and fir
ing of the massive guns, towns IN
ruins. towns with the buildings shat
tered and the soldiers and citizens
dead in the street, great strings OF
cars filled with the wounded, and
other scenes of equal interest.
Motherhood" is a preachment for
preparedness, for invasiOns could not
occur if the defending forces were
strong enough.
Marjorie RaInbeau has the leading
role in Motherhood" She is not a
socalled Broadway star, but a real
one, as she is playing in Cheating
Chaters" on Broadway at the present
time. Her picture work is done in
the daytime when she has no stage
performances

featured in RAILROAD Raiders" This

gagement.-Adv-
