a black plain of some four square miles in area, within which is the pit of Halemaumau. about 2000 feet in diam eter, recently empty to depth of 1000 feet, but now nearly level to its mouth the life of the volcano could hardly be discerned. but today the pit is a roaring, boiling. swirling lake of fire of many acres in extent and at night the glow from the her hot lava can be seen all over the island and far out at sea- Tho fiery lake Is filled with spouting fountains that shoot the uiquid rock hundreds of feet into tho air. The rim of the pit is constantly crumbling. eaten away at its base by the surging tide of fire and tum bling with deafening crashes into the molten mass.
 Reports from TIilo record the peril ous feat of Prof. T. A. Jaggar, Jr., di- rector of the Volcano observatory, In venturing out on the hot. barely solid flied edge of the lava for more than 100 yards to plunge his instruments into the lake of fire for the purpose of ascertaining It's temperature. He was successful and he and his assistants escaped in safety only short time be- fore the spot on which they had stood was engulfed and became itself a part of the boiling flood.
 The temperature of the lake is more than 2000 degrees Fahrenheit, accord ing to the results obtained by Profes- sor Jaggar The temperature was found by thrusting into the molten lava lengths of pipe screwed together, into the end of which had been fitted six Seeger cones, conicalp Jugs of fusible clay designed to melt at vary Ing temperatures.
 To reach the living lava. Professor Jaggar and his assistants had to scramble down 60 feet over the rim of the pit. holding on to the knife edged crags that had been thrown up by the volcano's activity. One of the party fell when near the bottom. but fortu- nate1y regained his feet in time to prevent rolling into a Assure where he would have been consumed in an instant.
 ProIessor Jaggar. who is connected with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has spent five years at kilauea, observing the phenomena of the volcano for scientific purposes He takes daily, almost hourly observa- tions. makes chemical analyses of the lava, the gases arising from the pit
  and Is endeavoring to deduce from his studies general rules from which to predict volcanic activity and its influ- ences.
 The city of Honolulu, the capital of the group, on the Island of Oahu, Is about 180 miles distant from Kilauea volcano, but there is a population of nearly 5o,o0o persons on the Island of Hawaii. where thel volcano is situated. kilauea Is only one of five volcanic mountains on the island. and though not as high as Mauna Loa (Great Mauntain) on the south, which rises 10 a height of 1S,675 feet. making it the nlghest volcano in the world, it Is far mare active than the hirhar mountain. According to an account of the natives. violent eruption of Xii lauea occurred in 17Ss, and lesser eruptions as recently as 1907, but con lined to the pit of Halemaumau.

As she left I pondered over what she said and it began to dawn upon my stupid brain that clothes have real influence upon traffic regulations, among the many other influences they have and then I went into one of the exclusive shops.
 Fashions" I explained, "as I glanced about at the marvellous decorations all in readiness for Fashion Week.
 Bring out our best models" said the urbane head of the department.
 Models were brought out, lovely, loose, sloppy looking things. with big loopy pockets at either side and apron effects-anyone could grasp that-and suddenly feeling that I must show some intelligence and become a part of the conversation I said wilIy-n -nilly:
 "ls that gown or a crime?"
 Then the nice head of the depart ment explained the possibilities of its being very serviceable dress and I thanked him and passed on to an- other fashionable shop where I was shown some wonderful frocks, one of
 
 which reached to the wrists and the aforesaid loop pockets and I was told that taupe marabout was worn with it which flared as high upward as downward.
 What design" thought I to my self with Sherlock Holmes cunning, flor shoplifting."
 Out in the open again and here I was thinking-thinking hard over Fashion Week and Dame Fashions de- creeN when suddenly it occurred to me that fashions are frightfully wearing on the brain; take the novels one reads. for instance; why don't the the illustrators show them? And why, oh! why, isn't there a bureau for dressing the ladies in fiction?
 Don't you recall the way Theodore Dreiser describes his heroine's cos tune at her bridal dinner in that naughty but nice book of his, "The Genius?"
 Angela had designed Mir. Dreiser notes, "a number of dresses for her trousseau and tonight she looked ex- ceptionally pretty in a dress of black silk with neckpiece and half sleeves of mother of pearl silk, set off with decoration of seed pearls and black beads in set designs"
 I might have thought more things if just here I hadn't met a fashion able modiste who smilingly said:
 T know what you are out for. Style story? Did I guess right?"

and Velasque as her models; that Callot has one idea-to keep down the width of her evening gowns; that she will con tinue to have one Of her side widths trail on the floor, following after the wearer like toy alligator drawn by a small Toy; that Jenny will have novel attach ments of various trimmings (we fashion writers know what that means), and that all the French dressmakers will do their darndest to persuade our grandmothers and others down to sweet sixteen-though quite as fastidious-to wear skirts that touch the ankles, and that all these things will affect the American public, but We ktow that practical things are the things" must stop to consider whether 'it is nobler in the mind" to choose worn on certain occasions or to buy one of old favorites, dark navy blue tailor made that can be worn every where.
 Getting back into another fashionable section of the downtown region, I met the very slnartest looking young thing you ever beheld; at least I suppose she was smart, judging by her frock and coat and hat that went to her chin one way and shot Woolworth-lk the other; she was voluminous in spite of her long reach. I sroke at random not knowing whether I was addressing her going east or west.
 And what do you represent" I asked curiously. 1T am a fashion writer, you see, bent uron doing my level best for young 1917.'
 She whirlea visibly; she was going my way, it seemed.
 'I?" she queried. This gown of mine has a siken surface and woolen back; it is moisture proof sport coat that will not shrink and Is lined with printed black and white pussy-wllow taffetas and trimmed with triangular bone buttons; 1t represents Miss springtime of 1s17'
 How many yards round" I asked, land back again?"
 "I haven't the slightest idea," she smiled back. T should worry. It's what dame fashion decrees."
 She moved eastward and there she stopped. A big ditch in the street where men were working and traffic was stopped. greeted us and the sign said, Danger" that stared at us, but nothing daunted. she prowled on.
 'The cop will get you" I suggest ed kindly.
 He won't either" she snapped back. flor he can't tell whether I'm coming or going in these togs. so you see there are advantages after all in be- ing smartly gowned."

Honolulu, February 1.-(Correspon- dence of the Associated Press).-In- tense activity, greater than known heretofore to any Hawaiians now liv- ing, is manifest in Kilauea volcano, according to reports received here. Kilauea is the largest active crater in the world, eight miles in circumfer- ence. and is situated in the southeast erly part of the Island of Hawaii, the largest island of the group.
 The volcano, enclosed by a circular wall from 200 to 700 feet in height, is

The new hats one must admit in spite of their towering qualities are built within the law they can get in street car doors and bus entrances-keen ob servation that of mine, isn't it?-but that's the trick of covering fashion story; some of the hats I noted are sup ported by collars on which the base of the brain rests; did you ever see a pie ture taken with the head resting against iron prongs? Yes; I thought you had; well it's the same principle; the position is secure and art suffers nothing there by; there was one hat l saw which was a revelation of the hat builders plans and specifications as far as height and breadth were concerned; it had vertical airship wings that went on and on; the wings were defty swung to one side, and the ribbon trimmings rested on their oars, so to speak, it looked like 8 ship at half mast.
 It occurred to me that in many of the new headgear offerings lay great op- portunity for the common good; the com munity spirit indeed might easily be up- held and advanced by women; watch towers could be established in the highest peaks whereby traffic could be noticed and perhaps the lives of thousands might be saved.
 It is the human note in fashions aft CT all that makes them a personal issue to all of us; we speak lightly of them at times, but that, I know, is because we haven't understood.
 
 With this-may I call it a deduction? ambled into the neighborhood of one of our niftiest little streets, asking my self what new light the styles of 1917
