BRAVE DEATH T0 PICTURE VOLCANO
AirpIane Photographs Of Fire Pit Are Taken By U. s.
 Army Pilots

HILO, Island of Hawaii, Dec. 1b.-- (By Associated Press.)-Airplane photographs of the fire-pt of an active volcano were taken recently by United States army pilots, who sue cessfully performed this daring feat over Kilauea, the largest continu- ously active volcano in the world.
 A group of four planes did the work. In a sudden descent directly over the inner creater they went down to within few hundred feet of the roaring inferno of lava within the encircling walls.
 Heavily buffeted by the up-rush of super-heated air and gas fumes aris- ing from the pit, the aviators drove their planes straight ahead, while the daring photographers leaning far outboard, took series of rapid fire photographs of the tumultuous mol ten lava directly beneath them, ae- cording to witnesses of the feat A series of unusually graphic views was taken.
 Those who participated in the flight were Lieutenants J. M. Me Culloch, w. N. Armis and Ned Schramm; Captain R. C. Hoyt, com munication officer; R. c. Wriston photographer, and three enlisted men,

GONE IS GREENWICH VILLAGE:
 LATIN QUARTER DISAPPEARS
Broadway, Brooklyn, Bronx And Prohibition Have Dis banded Famous Artists Colony

NEW YORK, Dee 15.-(By Asso- ciated Press.)-Greenwich Village the Greenwich Village which was a remnant of old New York, which was a link with the Old World where the customs, manners and liberties of an easier going civilization pro- vided haven for refugees from the hustle and hustle of modern America has gone. w
 New York has been robbed of it's Latin quarter, its artists colony has been disbanded by Broadway, Brook lyn, and the Bronx aided by prohibit tion and a housing crisis. The on- slaught was begun during the war when the rest of the country poured into the village. young and old thirst ing for lives of art and liberty, and Il has today overcome the last barriers. Gone are the villagers, and with them the spaghetti 'meccas," the "chip-in" sketch classes, and the open house" studios that only a short time ago made the locality famous.
 Time was when painters, play wrights, writers, musicians and artists of no particular profession foregath cred in the headquarters which have now disappeared. The rule was work hard and play hard. There were those who seemed not to work at all- But that was no ones business. If the idler was wit if he loved the beauty the workers tried to create. he was received with open arms. But the in- terloper, the seeker after atmosphere, was quickly frozen out and sent pack ing.
 Many Remain Tn Paris.
 The war sent many of the villagers to foreign fields; many never came back. Most of those who served in France returned there after the war. having found that Paris offered what ! I, xri11 bod achieved the upper rungs of the lad ders of their dreams Still others merely disappeared. All are gone from the old haunts.
 In place of the cheap studios and flats hewn out of buildings hoary with age, apartment houses as splen- did and as expensive as those of Park avenue have progressively reared their 10 or 15 stories from Fourteenth street down to Eighth and hundreds of picturesque old houses have been renovated into sim- liar apartments to contribute to the real estate agents paradise.

 The younger generation is in charge in the tea rooms. The flapper and her mate, the collegiate (who is more often a clerk), dance and drink and bask in the knowledge that they arc emancipated.
 In the striking contrast are the serious minded men and women, young and middle aged, who have | h vii To fn among the artists.

NEED SKILLED woRKMEN

If all the Italians in France should leave the country, building construction would stop. according to Gaston Vidal under secretary for technical education. His assertion was made in an address inaugural ing a furriers apprentice school here, during which he emphasized the necessity of more such institutions, to develop recruits among the younger generation for the useful trades and to supply the shortage of skilled French workmen. The prosperity in France, he said. makes it too easy for boys and young men to get soft jobs" so there is less incentive to learn the arduous trades.
 The furriers' school is a type of in = stitution being established through out France by the municipal Cham Der of Commerce, aided by gove-l- ment subsidies. The aim is to train French boys so as to develop at least enough competent foremen to replace the foreign workers. The ap- prentices trained in these schools are paid a sliding scale of wages during their training and are guaranteed jobs when they finish the course

sTEFs IN ACTION

The French suffrs gettes have sent their cohorts 10 the final assault upon Parliament capture the right to vote. The French advocates Of women's rights are a milder sort than their British sisters and their campaign has been gentler. but it is pursued with such perseverance that the fight for equality has had a con siderable effect. The proposal to give votes to women no longer is looked upon as a joke, and since the war has ceased to be the stock in trade of the cartoonists and humorous papers.
 One Of the telling arguments in favor of the women is the fact that. if they had not fed France through out the great war this country would probably now be paying money to Germany instead of struggling to collect separations from the reich. Most of the farming in France from 1914 to 1918 was done by women and girls. The members of Parliament are being asked to recognize that serv- ice by giving them voice in elect ing the nations representatives and the right to take part in making end executing the laws.
 The Chamber of Deputies already has been wen to the cause. It passed q bill eiNn.s votes to women in 1920. but the Senate allowed the measure to remain unacted upon until last year. when it was rejected by 9 big ma 5O"ie.-.

UMBRELLAS INADEQUATE 1I -I.s

Never did the skies weep over Paris as they have this fall and never were the women's umbrellas so insufficient as a protection against the wet. As carried or worn by the fashionable lady, these accessories at present have a spread about equal to the area of not too large dinner plate. The sticks, supposed to be in the Japanese style in some cases, have all the grace of line of a Frank furter sausage. They are made of ivory or it's imita tions
 The only possible explanation of the diminutiveness of the stylish um- brellas is entirely detached from the question of rain-it is that the wom- ems hats being smaller. a big um- brella is unnecessary. The men are ha1ling the new move with joy be cause the ferule end of the umbrella is so thick and obtuse that it is al most physically impossible for an absent mined woman to put -out/any- body's eye with it.

SHAH OF PERSIA
 BECOMES CROUCH.
Change Attributed To Diet, Which Has Reduced
 Weight

PARIS. Dec l5-(By Associated Press )-The shah of Persia is much less good humored during his pres ent visit to Paris than last year. His change of disposition is attributed to the system of severe dieting which has reduced his weight from 230 pounds to 175, making him look thin in comparison with his appearance here before.
 His Buddha-like expression of con- tentment has been replaced by. a nervous, restless look, and his in terest in world affairs now is de- scribed as going far beyond his former topics of conversation. He dis cusses high international politics with great earnestneSs.
 The other evening the shah sur veyed the boxing bout between Romero Rojas and Marcel Miles with a bored abandon and dour look which caused one ringside fan to say: The shah looks much fiercer as a light heavy than when he was the heaviest five foot heavyweight in the world"

It wasn't necessary, however, IL the
reports Of the family-RObinson by
name-can be verified. And it seems
they are in fair way to be. Two
weeks after they had installed them
selves in the old house, as the story
goes, one Of the Robinson children was
awakened by heavy footsteps in the
room and, looking up, saw an aged
man with flowing white beard coming
toward the pallet where she was sleep
ing with her mother. The child's
screams awakened Mrs. Robinson, who
says she saw the old man as plain as
could be-" When she arose straight
up in bed terrified the old man stood
still, and extended his arms, as If to
say, BE not afraid. come to do no
HARM" Then he pointed to stone
in the fireplace. So doing he vanished
into thin air.
Found the Gold.
Terrified beyond expression, Mrs.
Robinson kept to her bed the rest Of
the night, but next morning she hastily
summoned her husband, who had been
sleeping in an adjoining room. They
examined the stone to which the old
man pointed and found, after a little
prying, that 1t was loose. When they
finally got 1t out Of its place they
found behind 1t a small crevice in
which there was $567 in gold!

So confident were his relatives that

But when he wants for something,

He wants it good and strong;

And wanted all his life.
Some things we'd like to have We

That husbands really need.
One little boon we'd like to crave
Its absence often hurts

A Place to Keep Our Shirts.

For all our very own
We do not ask for any more,
I'VE long for that alone.

No wonder that we curse
We grab shirt. we get waist,
