 My earlier experience with Kat mai's boiling lake and subsequent study have led me to believe the ice-cold lake disappears in winter.
 That is why I am starting off at this time of the year. I am al- most sure that when I get to the top of Mt Katmai and peer down into the crater I shall not see that peculiar phenomenon, the boiling lake of Katnlai but the way to find cut is to go there.

MONT GOMERY'S
 PLAY WILL END ITS RUN TONIGHT
Homicide Squad Previews
 at l O'Clock Tonight Shows Tomorrow

"The Man in Possession" star ring Robert Montgomery and Irene Purcell, will be shown at the Capi- tol theatre for the last times to- night.
 The Homicide Squad" featuring Leo Carrillo, Noah Beery and Mary Brian, will be previewed at 1 o'clock tonight and will headline the new program to be shown at regular performances tomorrow night.
 In The Man In Possession, , Montgomery and Miss Purcell enact their roles with remarkable artis- try.
 Others In Notable Cast
 Others in the imposing cast are c. Aubrey Smith of Bachelor Fa- ther" fame; Beryl Mercer, distin- guiShed character actress who play ed in "The Public Enemy" Gegin- aid Owen, who recently starred on the stage in "Candlelight" Alan Mowbray, who last played in "To- pazeH on the stage; Maude Bourne, Forester Harvey and Yorke Sher- wood, noted British players.
 The locale of the story is in England and Montgomery plays the part of the young ne'er- -do-well who becomes a sneriff's deputy, serving attachment writs.
 Impersonates A Butler ! His duty takes him into the home of ravishing widow and he is persuaded to impersonate butt Ter to spare, her the humiliation of having an attachment guard in her house during an important dinner party. T-lere are many hilarious highlights, climaxed in the busting of the widows suitors and ad- mirers Of course the butler wins the lady fair, amid gay circum- stances.
 The dialogue is Sprightly and effervescent and the story moves smartly with sophisticated motivation. It is charmingly set in an English cottage and the costumes and backgrounds are es- pecially worthy of comment.
 Suspense and Fast Action
 'The Homicide Squad" is filled with suspense and fast action, and tells highly dramatic story.
 The picture deals with the con- flict between police and gangsters in a graet city, and gives a re- markedly interesting exposition of the methods of the modern police force. A gangster leader kills the son of police officer when the young man worms his way into the gang by false pretenses, and is about to expose the criminals to his superior officers.
 Cramrned With Excitement
 This brings about an intensive
 warfare which is crammed with and involves police cleanup" of the entire under world, in which the authorities are aided by a quick-witted girl.
 The situations of the story are full of interest, and give series of intimate views of the halints of the underworld Speakeasies, cheap dance halls and dives supply the setting that is rich in, local color. There are also many interesting scenes laid in police headquarters. where the homicide squad carries on it's work of combating the criminal element.

Drinking Women
On the Increase, Parole Commissioner Says

Before prohibition few drank and those who did came
principally the weathies classes Among the poor
stigma attached to the drinking woman.
man could drink anything in moderation without criticism
woman could hardly beer light wine without being
severely criticized. ... -.
Bernard Fagan York State parole commissioner whose
work brings him into with much of the seamy side of
e now says that under prohibition drinking hard liquor has
become widespread among of the poorer classes
According to Mr. Pagan:
"One uuOuld be blind to that the present
moral trend is dOrOnHard and upward, and that
the increasing prevalence of crime and the. lou
morals is due to prohibition.
"In the tenements there is drinking among
UUOn1en than eUer before"
One of the greatest claims made for prohibition by its hackers
was it would benefit the poor by preventing them from
wasting money drink and enabling them to spend for
necessities uxuries.
However those who want to drink still do and there is
abundant evidence Mr. Pagan points out that the number
IS increasing At the time the price of drinks has
up and the quality has gone down.
Thus the net result of the reform which to
FOR poor have been the direct opposite of what it's
sponsors predicted
That is true of most of the things predicted for it, the
country knows to its cost.

group, that is dissatisfied
with the nomination made
it is the mass, easily nine
tenths. How they would re-
joice if the bar of precedent
were down for a group OF
candidates to contest for the
nomination! There is not an
intelligent politician among
them who would not feel that
the possibility of a contest
would enormously enhance
the possibilities of victory.
But there is the bar; and

TT is not very compliment
1tary to the intelligence
of the Democratic party
that the Republican press
halls the possibility of a
contest for the presidential
nomination as a harbinger
of victory for the dis
credited Hoover Administra-
ton. If the claims of the
Democracy on public con-
fidence rest merely on per-
sonalities, and if principles
and programs have no ef-
feet, the party is in a bad
way and really has but little
excuse for being.
Above the shouting and
the turmoil just now we
think we can hear from the
millions of the rank and
file a note of protest over
the disposition of too many
Democrat leaders to stake
the fate of the party on
persons. . ....
By every rule of common
sense, we assume that the
public will pass on the fit
ness of the Democracy for
power on the manner in
which it conducts itself IN
matters of public policy dur
ing the next few months.
With every indication of
victory in November, it is
inevitable that a number of
men will aspire to the presl-
dentiar nomination. There
may be a spirited fight In
the convention-we do not
know. But if the party
takes its stand four-square
on policies and principles
that appeal to a sorely dis
tressed people, any good
man nominated can be
elected unless Democrats,
running true to form in re-
cent years, cling to their
preference for fighting each
other in the midst Of the
battle instead of turning
their guns on the common
enemy.

School Buildings
An Inspection Would Reassure

The development of structural defects in the Wilson TeacneS
College fortunately discovered before the condition

Since this the third public school building in which defectS
have been found this year. would be reassung the public
generally the Commissioners would order thorough survey
Of all schools in the city
There does be for undue alarm at the
condition of the buildings but vigorous action by the Comm
ners would greatly relieve very natural anxiety which may
arise in the minds of parents.
The Commissioners public every possible hazard
eliminated from school buildings.
It fair say that far humanity possible the greatest
care has been exercised design and construction of the
cty's schools
But many of them old and in their antquated materials
there may dangers which could not be uncovered except by
q complete and thorough examination
In the Wilson College case develops that the building
constructed the bed of stream and the settling of the
foundation piles has caused the structure to sag.
This probably unusual condition possibly so

But parents sending their children to school will feel
comfortable and will District officials survey made at

Qualifications of the
Relief Chief"

Some Senators announce
they will vote no relief for
the starving women and
children, in any form, until
President Hoover and his
"relief chief, Walter Gif.
ford, advise that it is need
ed"
We may dismiss President
Hoover at once-he is
against doing anything for
the jobless.
Since these Senators are
waiting to be advised by Mr..
Clifford, let us take a look
at the qualifications of the
"relief chief" according to
his own confessions before
the committee.
Senator Costigan - Do
you know what the relief
needs are in the smaller
cities which have no COM
munity chest organization?'
"Mr. Gifford-'No.'
Senator Costigan - DO
you know what the relief
needs are in the rural dis
tricts Of the United states?'
"Mr. Gifford-'No.'
Senator Costigan - DO
committee has not assembled
information of that sort?'
"Mr. Gifford-'That is
correct.
Senator Costigan-'Y Your
you from any source &C
quire information which
would enable you specifi-
cally to advise us how many
people of the United States
are on the verge of star
vation?'
"Mr. Gifford-'I have no
such information"
And Senators are going to
wait until Mr.. Clifford, out
of the wealth of his knowl-
edge, tells them when to
step in to stop starvation!

Nothing Disturbing
About a. Contest

Thomas jefferson was
elected in 1900 because the
electoral vote of New York
was cast for him.
At that time, Aaron Burr
assumed the leadership Of
the Democracy in New York.
He was a consummate politi-
clan and a wise leader. He
started out with the deter
mination to eliminate per-
sonal considerations and to
concentrate on victory.
In the organization of his
forces, he held many con-
ferences at his home at Rich
mond Hill. At each confer
ence he made a preliminary
announcement, that no, one
present should inject a per-
sonal note. or introduce a
controversial topic relating
to individuals. He made it
plain that anyone who vlo-
lated the rule would be asked
to leave the conference.
No one left the confer
ence, for no one violated the
order; and the result was a
unified party-and victory.
It seems probable now that
there will be a contest over
nominations, and there is
nothing disturbing about
that. For a hundred years
we have had such contests in
almost all conventions. Only
twice in a hundred years did
the party lose because Of the

self; something inside himself.
He began to have secret de-
sires which he did not openly
proclaim. He began to make
secret experiments which he did
not let the world see. He began
to permit himself certain fur
tive indulgences-to sneak out
on himself

symbolic story of what went on

Two Ways to End
The Hoarding

The portion of the public
which is not boarding money
will follow with curiosity, as
we'll as sympathy, the means
devised by the Presidents
antihoarding commission to
coax the money from hiding.
1t seems that committees
are to be formed in every
community to make a house
toulouse canvass to persuade
the hoarders to put their
money in circulation.
There are just two ways
to end the hoarding-one is
to restore confidence, which
is not likely to come until
business begins to thrive,
and the other is to make
business pick up by putting
men to work for wages
through the floating of a
prosperity loan.
Col. Frank Knox, head of
the committee, a very able
man, has just told us some
thing Of the nature of our
trouble:
1--WE are suffering from a
national headache, the re-
suit of too much eye strain,
watching what is going on
in Europe. We cannot cor
rect conditions in Europe.
We can correct them at
home"
If Colonel Knox can i'm
press this idea upon the Ad-
ministration at Washington,
which is suffering abnor-
mally from this eye strain,
he will be entitled to the
civic crown.
Senator Watson predicts
that none of the measures
for the relief of the unem-
ployed and the starving
Americans will be passed.
Relief measures have been
adopted-for the relief Of
bankers, railroads, and in
dustries. But none for the
relief of the 100000 job
less and the 25,0OO,OOO who
face the bread-and- butter
problem on which life de-

animal self was restless. 1t

DR.. Jekyll had discovered
way by which it could have
its fling. He could let his
other self go free-eScape
through that little secret back
door of his self-indulgence into
the darkness and the wildness
which it craved.
Surely there was no harm IN
that. Nobody need know. And
what a relief it would be,

Just to run amuck for a little
while. Only a little white

back. He had no intention OF
permanently leaving the life
which he loved best of all

himself out for an occasional
spree; but he could always
come back whenever he pleased.
His Vain Excuses
So he thought-excusing to
himself his secret monstroSity.

HE COULN'T GET BACK. HE
HAD LOST THE KEY! AND
THE MONSTER SELF, WHICH
