The Volcano with its wonderful lake
of fire, its transcerdent picture OF
molten lava made a lasting impression
on the members Of the congressional
party. 1t is safe to say that having
seen Kilauea and Halemaumau at the
height OF their activity, the senators
and congressmen are in favor Of max
ing these wonders the property OF
the federal government, making ap-
propriations for their upkeep, for a
road connecting with Mauna Loa and
uniting both of Hawaii's greatest at
fractions in one link under govern
ment protection.
The whole party visited Kilauea a
week ago Sunday night. They wit
messed scene that beggars descrip-
tion1 Most of them for minutes stood
in speeches. awe at their first view
of Halemaumau as the molten lava
swirIed and boiled and spouted seem
ingly as if in contest with some I'M
derworld demon in an effort TO tear
loose the bonds that confined 1t
within its walled prison. Old timers
who have seen kilauea as many as so
times declared that the sight the con-
sressional party say equalled any OF
the spectacular exhibits Madam Pele
has ever staged.
To the congressman it was the most
bewildering sight they had ever seen.
They were simply astounded by the
terribleness of it. If they had seen
nothing else Kilauea was worth the
trip from the mainland was the con-
sensus of opinion. ..
Spectacular beyond description"
was Senator Poindexter's expression.
Senator PoindeXter could hardly De
weaned away from the crater. He
accompanied Governor Pinkham and
Senator Myers on the night trip, but
IL d. m. found him still there watching
the ever changing scene while the
governor and his fellow solon were in
bed eight miles away. And even as
the hour grew later the senator was
loath to leave. s...-... e
Its simply wonderful. / never had
any idea that it could be so wonder
fully impressive. 1t sayors of Hades
transported to earth
And then the senator said it would
be sacrilegious to allow private hands
ever to descrate such a wonder or to
commemorative it.
"Of course l am in favor of the
government keeping it up, he said in
answer to a question. such mag
nificent asset should never be under
any but federal protection. That's a
sight one would travel thousands Of
miles to see and if the people in the
states had any idea that there was
such wonderful sight in Hawaii they
would never rest content until they
aad seen it. Yes, j think Kilauea and
Mauna Loa should be government re-
serves and that road should link
The two together"
Senator Myers was even more pro-

Congress Isn't the Doctor;
You Must Figure ii Out and
We viii Help YOU

The land problems of Hawaii are up
to Hawaii itself for solution. This is
the view of Senator Myers Of Nom
tana, chairman of the senate commit
tee on public lands. Not that the SEN
ator is averse to extending helping
hand to Hawaii, but he thinks the
public-spirited, responsible citizens of
the territory who have the interest of
the islands at heart, should take the
initiative in working out a solution,
presenting feasible method for i'm
proYements and not let the burden
devolve on members of congress.
You can't expect cor gress to be the
doctor in this proposition. It's up to
you people right here in Hawaii to
figure out what you want, then come
to congress and we will take care OF
you.

waii had a land problem until a..

How Is This For
A Hot Climate?

The only Yankee Jumper" in cap
tivity! Not at Ben Hollinger's zoo,
either. 1t does not rank with the gnu
and ichthyosaurus, with the emu or
the dromedary, it does not live in
tropic climes. It is seldom found in
countries where the snow never falls,
and during the hot summer months
even in its native habitant, the north
ern sections of the United States, it
seeks cover 1t can then be generally
found in cool, dark cellars, hidden
away from the heat and humidity.
But when the first furry of snow
darkens the November skies the Yam
kee Jumper crawls forth from its sum
mer caverns and is seen IN huge
numbers, sporting across the snow.
and INDUCING IN its fayorite sport OF
sledding down hill
The secret is out! Those of you
who have lived in the north where the
girls and boys romp around in the
snow and skate and slide and sled,
viii recognize the Yankee Jumper.
The name may be unfamiliar. though,
as it is generally known as high
sled, with its curying runners grace
fully modelled in front.
And one has been found in Homo
lulu. Probably it is the only one in
captivity. 1t came to light at an auc.
ton held last week. If no one buys 1t,
why not send it to the museum
Surely good old fashioned Yankee
Jumper in the tropics is rare speci-

makes it plain that further consider

SENATOR GAINS
SHIP AS final
HORN IS BLOWN

IF it had not been for the courtesy
of. Southern Pacific and Matson Off
Gals Senator w. H. Thompson OF
Kansas would have been unable to
have made the trip to Hawaii with the
congressional party, according to
coast paper reports. These accounts
tell how he arrived in San Francisco
Just in time to board the Matsonia
andshow he was accused of bringing a
slushs fund with him. One of these
accounts was as follows:
with Senator W. H. Thompson Of
Missouri walking up the gangplank
Just before the last whistle blew, the
steamship Matsonia sailed for Homo
lulu yesterday with forty members of
congress on board, going to inspect
the island territory.
"Matson line officials we're prepared
to hold the big ship in the stream an
hour or more, If necessary. to await
Senator Thompson's arrival but,
through the influential agency of
Southern Pacific officials, the Kansas
city man arrived just in the nick of
time.
"As Senator Thompson. hopping a
perspiring, brow, climbed up the
gangplank, he was followed by steve
dores carrying several hundred thou
sand dollars, worth of gold bullion,
and, to all appearances. it all belonged
to him.

VISITING DAY AT CAMP BEAUREGARD Boys Have Social Time Sunday Various Companies Now
 Located.

Camp Beauregard, La, Nov, 6.-Sun- day afternoon was visiting time with the Arkansas boys. The "old-tim- ers,' who have been here whole month, mingled with the new arrivals and successfully met machine-gun attack of positions regarding the camp and it's advantages. The Field hospital, now part of the l14th Sani- tary Train, with Major Scott ill com mand, is encamped close to the shut tle-train station near the center of things They have the Louisiana Field hospital for neighbo"s. The Ann bulance Corps is we'll lated lit tie farther up the road. The recep- tion of their new motor ambulances helped to make easier the discomforts of making camp after an all-night ride.
 The Ammunition Train, commended { by Lieutenant Colonel Carruth, is To- cated in wind-protected hole just below the site to be occupied by the 142nd Field Artillery and about two miles from the other Arkansas units. With a battalion O. ex-cavalry from Mississippi this composes the Hath Ammunition train. The First Ark ansas is next-door neighbors to the 154th and received most of the call CTS Sunday afternoon. All the troops made the trip in good shape and are glad to be able to get down to real preparation for active service.

 The 18th Mumps. Division, Company I. Hist Machine Gun Battalion, has settled down for an indefinite stay in .hc woods and has fixed up a tennis court and basket ball ground. Each new case of humps means 14 days longer in exile and as they are break ing out one at a time about 10 days apart, and there are only 20 left who haven't had their turn, it looks like couple of months longer stay. Aside from the fact that they cant go to town. they are enjoying themselves however, and occupy their time with drills and athle tics.
 For verdi weeks two schools have been in session in the 154th, one in small arms firing and the other in l bayonet work taught by specially trained officers.

The Coming of a
 GREAT ENGINE
H Nlakes Eigh P6zver Out 0f L02v Grade Ga5

A new manifold, termed "The Rams horn, has been constructed of simple pip ing. It Is on the exterior of the engine. It Is a manifold of easy curves SO that there are no sharp corners for the raw gas to lodge against and be pushed into the cylinders.
 The next development was to give the pas the proper amount of heat after 1t came from the carburetor.
 What Is termed hot plate" is built in at the top of the throat of the carburetor so that the gas coming straight up from the car buretor hits the ''hot plate', the dimensions tifically, and then passes around the easy state of mixture and at the proper tempera- ture to each of the cylinders.
 The case of this Chalmers engine has been proved.
 1. On August 1 and ?, Joe Dawson drove Chalmers equipped with this same engine 1898 miles in "A hours-faster and farther than anyone ever before had travelled on land, sea or air.
 If there's flaw in pattern, or part, . solid day of bitter, brutal speed will find it.
 2. There are over 1000 Chalmers containing this engine now in use. They check up past all expectations.
 Therefore, the Maxwell Motor Com pany, which has leased The Chalmers Motor Company, has put its o. K. on this engine, and accordingly on the Chalmers car.
 90 per cent of any automobile Is the engine; and no car can be bit better than its engine.
 So you are safe in writing your check for Chalmers.

HERE AND THERE IN ARKANSAS

 ing for repairs the nature of it's cargo was discovered. What seemed to be a gasoline tank at the rear of the calr sprang a leak and it leaked whiskey
 instead of gasoline. In addition to this tank, along the leit side of he car was a, copper tank which held about 10 gallons of whiskcy. Under
 the rear seat of the car there was five gallon tank full of whiskey. The supposed gasoline tank in the rear leld 20 gallons. There were two large cans enca ed in wood in the car and these held about 15 gallons each. The men in charge or the car, who gave Memphis a their home, were arrested and fined The whiskey was confisca- ted.

Men who drive cars are face to face with condition that becomes more and more serious each day.
 That condition Is the constantly de- clining grade of gasoline.
 Nearly every engineer has said goodby forever to high-grade gas.
 For the moment, and possibly for all time, multi-cylinders, counter balanced crankshafts, and little tricks with valves give way in engineers discussions to the gas problem.
 Every alert engineer is bending his utmost to make ''one drop of gas now do the work of two'.
 Just as great situations produce great men, so out of this condition has come great engine.
 It Is a Chalmers.
 It makes high power out of low grade gas.
 Compared with other engines of the same size or whereabouts, it shows: . More boqver More rapid acceleration Greater economy Greater lengh Fife
 Greater smoothness
 And CD ama&ing ability 10 5tart quickly on Q cold day, and 10 aOdrn, nb qUtthont delay. The Chalmers engine is simple one. That Is one reason why it Is SO good.
 In many engines of the moment the gas passes on its way from the carburetor to the cylinder through tunnel, which runs all the way through the engine block. Before the gas gets, to the cylinder it is forced to turn many sharp angles and does not become completely mixed with the air. This results Tn raw gas running into not only one but all the cylinders, particularly when the car is cold, and especially when running for the first five or ten miles.
 In the case of the Chalmers engine this type of intake manifold has been com pletely eliminated.
