HONOLULU, T. H., Feb. 1S.--(By
maiD-Actiyity in the fiery pit of
Halemaumau, volcano of Kilauae.
has drawn the attention of the peo-
pie to the possibilities OF another
serious eruption.
Careful study of the history of the
volcanoes OF Kilauae and Mauna
Loa by volcanolOgist T, A. Jaggar,
in charge of the Kilauae observatory,
has developed the fact that great
eruptions occur in cycles of ap-
proximately 1870 years, which may
affect several volcanoes at the same
time.
This 130-year period seems to be
definitely established, but there is
also secondary period Of accumu.
latlon and discharge of lava every
nine or ten years, alternating in
Kilauae and Mauna Loa, with a
marked rise of the lava column in
each volcano about very three years.
The present great rise OF the lava
In Kilauae is little ahead of
schedule. The year 1890 would be
the end of the 130year and 65-year
periods, but matter of two years
is considered close enough approx

irict southwest OF Tientsin are fac
Ing death by starvation and ex.
posure, according TO a report by the
North China Christian flood relief
committee Similar conditions on
smaller scale obtain in other parts
Of the flooded area
While the water has drained away
from the larger part OF the flooded
area, the Wen.An Hsien district still
forms lake some two thousand
square miles in extent, approximate
Iy triangular in shape, with Tientsin
at the apex. Here the water which
at Its height was twenty feet, still
reaches depth of fifteen feet.
The district is all below the level
Of the rivers which enclose it and
the water cannot drain off. but must
gradually disappear by evaporation
and percolation--a process which
at the best will probably require five
years.
In some OF the river bends there
have been accumulation OF ice which
have so checked the flow of the
water that It has broken out again
In fresh places and reflooded certain
areas destroying the winter wheat.
In one district the people had sown
wheat three times as the water
gradually drained off, and the third
time 1t took root, only to be finally
destroyed by these new winter
floods.
The suffering of destitute villagers
is described in a letter from Anpine
as follows:
The cold has cost many lives for
the people are largely without fuel
and In many cases have no winter
clothes One of the agents recruit

In one village that ten people had

TONOPAH WOMEN ARE
PREPARING FOR WORK

In the foreign countries at war
women have successfully taken the
places left vacant by the call of the
men to arms and there are few in
dustries In which the women are
not keeping up or increasing produc-
ton. In this country there has been
"a demand for women for clerical
positions never equaled. AS more
and more OF the men volunteer their
services for the army there will be
greater and greater demands for
women who can take their places in
the trades, offices and professions,
as well as In the factories and on
the farms.
Farseeing women are busily pre-
pairing themselves for the emerg-
ency and right here in Tonopah wom-
en- are taking advantage of the op-
portunities offered in the public
schools TO L~epare themselves for
real service. Nhree women have for
some time past been working every
day In the shop OF the manual
training department doing carpenter
and cabinet work that would make
many a man ashamed of himself.
Perhaps dozen more are taking
stenography, typewriting and book
keeping or some combination of
these subjects, either in private
classes in the evening or in the
regular high school classes during
the day. These women are wise in
their day.

Of city lots, the tenant was entitled to
growing crops as against the landlord

edge of the first tenancy. -

such a termination Of his lease shall
