source of an endless optimism in
the person Of Mrs. Penfield. played
by that fine actress, Mary Carr, in
its original form 1.-The Custard
Cup" was one of the most success
full books. of recent years. The
screen version retains all of the de-
lightful humor and kindly outlook
on life of the printed work and has
enlarged upon the dramatic mo-
tives to such an extent thatsit con-
tains several 'thrilers" of the best
grade. The entire episode of the
steamboat explosion is presented in
the most realistic manner, and a
touch of novelty is given to the res
cue scenes by the introduction of a
hydroplane. The incident showing
the flying machine rushing toward
the burning boat and coming to a
sudden halt in the midst of the men
and women in the water will take
rank with the greatest sensations
of the screen.
Another strong argument in favor
Of the entertaining qualities of the
picture is its fidelity to human ma
ture in the character drawing, and
the breezy and hopeful spirit that
radiates from Mrs. Penfeld and the
happy trio of youngsters that she
has saved from the streets.
Directed by Herbert Brenon. the
production is marked by thorough
ness in every detail. Next to Mrs
Carr. the leading members of the
cast are Peggy Shaw. Myrtle Bonil-
las, Miriam BatUsta, Leslie Leigh

Would Build Road
To Biggest Dead Volcano

Honolulu. April 2-(By MaiD-
Haleakala, the Hawaiian House Of
the Sun" on the island of Maui. and
the largest dormant volcanic crater
in the world, would be more accessi-
Bile to residents and tourists under
the terms of a bill now being con-
sidered by the territorial legislature.
The bill would appropriate $4,000
for the construction of a road from
Makawao to the summit Of the crater.
At present the crest is reached after
25-mile automobile ride from Wal
luku to Olinda. where the road ends.
From Olinda the ride is by horseback.
The distance to the crater from
Olinda is only eight miles. but it is
50 precipitous and arduous that the
trained mountain ponies require three
hours and half to travel the eight
miles over stretches of lava.
At the summit. citizens of Maui
haveSerected a concrete rest house,
with sleeping and eating accommoda-
tons for twenty persons. perched on
the very edge of the crater. The
number Of visitors to Haleakala has
increased appreciably since this
building supplanted cave that was
the only shelter provided previously.
The Construction of the proposed road
is expected to result in further in
crease in the number of visitors, as
the terrors of the eight mile horse
back ride have deferred many per-
sons from making the trip.
Haleakala towers 10,032 feet above
sea-level and the crater contains 10
square miles. The circumference of
the rim is 20 miles and the crater is
seven miles lonC by two miles wide.
The walls Of the huge bowl are al
most vertical and drop for about half
a mile from the crater rim. Cinder
cones rising ip' the crater appear as
anthiils from the summit, but they
are approximately 700 feet high from
the bottom of the bowl.

No flock of hens of any size are

naturally stop laying earlier than
others. An analysis of the results of
the demonstrations shows that ap-
proximately one third of the hens
stop laying early and they should
be removed from the flock and sold,
thereby saving cost of feeding. The
saving of single months feeding of
the 1884 hens removed last year in

00u COMPANY FOR QUAKER
neactIsns TO Voice Of Man Of Peace
Said to BE Same ~ Those Of
General Hlndenbufu. Il

An interesting story reaches us from
q Quaker source about tha discovery
Of German professor Of phonetics who
II engaged In collecting and analyzing
phonographic records Of the voice OF
speakers Of every country and Ian
guage. During the war he not only got
records from allies and war prisoners
Of nearly every country under the sun
but also carefully tabulated the voice
reactions of the most famous Of hl:
own countrymen, s.
Recently he begged a well-knowr
English Quaker, who was on visit
to Berlin In connection with inteua
tional peace work, to allow record Of
his voice to be made. This was Mr.. G
Heath, the late secretary Of the Ma.
tional Peace council, and now secretary
Of the Friends Council for Interna.
tional Service. He gave brief address
on the peace principles Of Quakerism
into the Photographic receiver. while
the professor eagerly watched the ma
chimes delicate Indicator, which re-
corded all the lights and shades Of the
speakers voice.
At the conclusion Of the test the pro
fessor pronounced that the verdict OF
the machine was that the reactions to
the Quaker's voice were exactly the
same as those to General Hindenburg's.
