featuring and industrial concerns in the north and east is adding to the num- Der constantly.
 LABOR COMING
 Tt IS predicted that within a few weeks there will be plenty of labor. both skilled and unskilled. available and marked increase in efficiency is anticipated during the next few months"
 The recent reductions by cement and plaster manufacturers is another item which is causing increased activity in building lines.
 In the opinion of manufacturers and Wholesalers in touch with the situation throughout the country, the fact that no building can take place in the north during the winter months makes thi. the ideal time for the launching of a construction programme in the south which will relieve the housing situa- tion.
 GLUTTED MARKET
 The favorable weather enables inc south to take advantage of a elutted lumber and building material market now before the north, east and west enter the field in the spring and create an apnormal demand which Is expected to be followed by higher prices.
 birmingham real estate men report marked increase in the demand for building lots and they declare that inc prices, which have not materially 'ad . vanced during the past four or five years, will doubtless take a big iumn by spring when thousands of families which now have no home purchase lots and begin the erection of dwell ings.

mass meetings.

This is the substance of the report made by the special committee na,n'd by the special convention of the Ala bama State Federation of Labor to wait on General Steiner and ascertain di- rectly from him his exact position as to the military situation now and in the future.
 Upon hearing the report and. after some slight comment the conven jon adopted the report and a resolution of the committee accompanying it. his resolution is to the effect that the ex- ecutive committee of the fedora .i on employ counsel to investigate the or ders of General Steiner and ascertain if they are in violation of the laws of the state.
 7 R. Kennamer and Van Bit.ner spoke at some length on the matter of the statements that had been made to the effect that they had agreed to the Steiner orders. Both denied that ary- such thing had been dreamed of by them. MT. Kennamer said he Tad promised cooperation with the ,nili- tary to maintain law and order, but that he had never compromised his stand as to mass meetings

Many mills, due to the necessity of turning some of their stock into cash, are selling lumber at less than the cost of production, mills which can afford to do so are shutting down and others are curtailing sheir output by running only a few days each week.
 Wholesale lumber dealers and manu- lecturers declare that, due to this cur tailment, the bottom of the market has about been reached and that the present low prices on lumber will result in 2 building boom which will soon use up the surplus stocks.

 conditions, there will be little build inx activity in the north during the

 ax soon as spring weather arrives.
 Due to the unprecedented housing
 conditions, lumber men predict that
 when this building boom starts, all
 the output of all the mills in the
 country will be unable to meet the

 Another fact which is expected to greatly encourage building in the south during the next six months is the re- turn of thousands of negro workmer and laborers from the north. This egress of the negroes has already started and the reduction in the work ing forces of practically all large manu-

ated in the Sacramento Valley at the southern end of the Cascade Range Lassen stands between the Sierra Ne vada and the Klamath Mountains.
 Long before Government recogni- ton of Lassen Peak, the Geological survey had been watching its activi- ties. and it was partly due to this that it was decided to set aside this area with its volcano forest, streams stocked with fish, hot springs and mud lakes. Little by little auto parties, while touring the parks of the Pacific Coast have been attracted to the vol cano area, and it will be only a short time before Lassen Peak will become as well known as Mt. Rainier and
 Mt. Shasta. In fact. it is the real center of an area on the Pacific Coast, which is girdled for most of its length by mountains and volcanoes.
 J. S. Dil1er. Geologist, has been watching this peak for thirty odd
 years. He finds that with every erup- ton the crater en1arges and it is now estimated to be four hundred feet
 long and one hundred feet wide with 1 a depth of one hundred feet. This is i quite a change from the early eigh-
 ties when geoIogists discovered nc heat on the summit. The first erup-
 ton brought heat and the crater and since then there have occurred dis | turbauces on several occasions all ot ] which have tGen noted in detail by

When disturbances have occurred these officers report that stones are hurled great distances, dust and sulphurous gases are carried a long way and the residents of Sacra- mento Valley, forty miles away, have been able to see the lights.

 Whatever the future may hold for Lassen Volcano National Park, sight seers now are advised to approach with caution, and on the windward side as any eruptions that have so far taken place have come suddenly and with little warning. Certainly we have-especia1l when it acts unruly in this park a remarkably interest Ing region which may occasionally prepare an exhibit and which is a good preparation for those sightseers who are bent on embarking on the Pacific to visit the still larger volcano park in Hawaii, which was established the same year. from lands on the is- lands of Hawaii and Maui.

He is called the Wisest One, being a sort of head-devil. and wears mask that looks like the head of an alligator. The mask, with great jaws, fits over the mans own head, and Is carved out of wood, with a sort of wig of cedar-bark to represent hair.
 As might be supposed. the cannibal ceremonial is weird and unpleasant to an extreme. There is much aboriginal jazz-music to accompany dancing. the latter being pantomimic largely of ] man-hunting and the killing and cook ing of the victim.
