W0RLD-F FAMOUS
VOLCANO SP0UTS
FOR SEC; DANIELS

HILO, Island of Hawaii 7. H., Aug.
22.-Kilauea, the worlds most active
and most accessible volcano, was to-
day viewed by Secretary of the Navy
Josephus Daniels, and officers of those
vessels of the Pacific fleet which
brought the cabinet member to Hawaii
The warships came here from Homo
lulu where Secretary Daniels dedicat-
ed the Pearl Harbor naval drydock.
Not the least interesting part of
today's excursion was the 3O-mile
auto drive from Hilo to the volcano.
Kileuea, is on the slope of Mauna
loa, mountain peak towering 1858
feet, at an elevation of nearly 1000
feet above the sea level. The main
crater is nearly eight miles in cir
conference and 600 feet deep, inclos-
ing an area cf $3.50 acres, a solidifi-
ed sea of lava which takes most fan
tastic shapes. In the center of this
vast sink in the mountain slope is
Halemaumau, or "the house of ever
lasting fire. great pit over 1000
feet in diameter where churns and
boils sea of liquid rock, with waves
and pillows of white-hot lava eternal
ly tearing at the confining walls.
The molten lava of the central fire
pit rises and falls at certain periods
OF. tie year. sometimes falling 600 feet
or more below the rim and at other
times rising until the fluid rock gushes
in great streams over the floor of the
main crater In recent weeks the vol
cano has been particularly active and
Secretary Daniels and his companions
found much to interest them.
Near the crater of Kileauea is a
sandy plain, covered with huge bould
ers vomited up in the eruption of
1890. 1t was here that the army of
King keoua of Kau was DESTROYED by
this eruption when on it's way to at
tack the forces of Kamehameha the
Great, who made himself the first
king of all the islands. This historic
plain was traversed by Mr.. Daniels
and his party on the way to the fire pit
of the volcano. In modern times no one
has lost his life at Kilauea.

 Somehow. l always feel sorry for the pretty little actresses who are Ion the road" far away from home and loved ones when Christmas comes around.
 Somehow there is something very pathetic about it all to me. because sChristmas without family. and loved ones. prattling babies and dear little angel faces peeping out on Christmas morn gathering about the Christmas tree and opening the stockings which old Santa Claus has filled to overflow ing. is not much of a Christmas
 But the inventive genius of the act or-the innate love of home and friends makes itself very evident at the Yuletide season. for these good people love just we doand so wherever they happen to be, there a little family altar in the shape of Christmas tree is constructed and there the "make-belieye" home is in stalled.
 At this particular little Christmas celebration on Christmas Eve, that l refer to. there was girl present whom I have had the pleasure of meet ing since she came to Birmingham 10 days ago where the big "Flo-Flo" com pany has been laying off"

 Miss Mason is a very unusual type, she has the blackest hair and the brownest- black eyes and olive skin that is almost Spanish in it's type; she is petite and quite the type of girl whom you'd never take for an actress: but then she hasn't been one for so very long.
 Miss Mason. when I called upon her several days ago. was busy arranging her apartment with all sorts of pho- tcgraphs of her loved ones and photo- graphs of members of the "F1o-F Flo" company for. as she explained to me she just had to have some little touch of home about her during Christmas

I had my Christmas in Texas and New orleans three weeks ago, though. and I shouldn't complain. for. my mother journeyed all the way from California to make me visit, but it seems only to make me home sick for her now"
 "California has been my home ever since I was a child, although, I was born in Virginia, my father being a native Virginian, a newspaper man, by the way; the editor and owner of the Roanoke. Va, morning paper for many many years"
 My association with the stage has been in opera q concert singer" Miss Mason continued "and Marcella Craft and Schumann-H Heink are respon- sible for whatever success I have achieved. Marcella Craft comes from my home town-Riverside, Cal.-and has been the greatest inspiration in
