The sky over Hawaii glows
red by night, and by day
plumes of smoke and steam
rise to the blue. And all the
while Thomas Augustus Jaggar
is having the time of his life.
For DR.. Jaggar follows a quaint
and curious profession. His
job is to study the temperar
ment of the most tempera-
mental thing in the world, an
active volcano. He works for
our Uncle Sam in the capacity
of volcanologist, and his pres
ent job is to find out what is
ailing that old devil, Mauna
Loa, one Of the twin VOLCANOES
of the Hawaiian Islands.
Whenever mountain blows
its head off in any part Of the
world, Thomas Augustus Jaggar
leaps from train and boat,
sometimes forgetting his bag
gage. In fact, he is able quite
frequently to issue warnings Of
just about when the explosion
will take place.
Ample Warning
Bad as he is, Mauna Loa is
very deliberate and systematic
about it, not like one Of those
crazy japanese volcanoes which
let go without the slightest
warning, overwhelming thou
sands of lives in a moment.
When his disposition begins to
get the better of him, Mauna
Loa begins to sput and sputter.
Smoke rises higher and higher,
and grows denSer and denser.
Then the earth rendS apart and
the lava comes boiling up, to go
creeping down to sea. But al
ways very deliberately, so that
people have plenty of warning
and ample time to get their
property as well as themselves
out of harms way.
Nobody on the island of
Hawaii really seems afraid of
old Mauna Loa, which is 10000
feet high, or as tall as Pixies
Peak, nearly. There are villages
close by. The Government of
the United States (for the vol
canoes are part of the Hawaiian
National Park, and therefore
under Uncle Sans care) main
tains a tourist hotel almost on
the rim of Kilauea.
One of the amazing news
events of the times is little Para
guay's sweeping victory over Bo-
livia down in the mysterious
jungleland of Ell Gran Chaco.
Out-numbered and out-gunned,
but with their backs to the wall,
the stout-hearted ParaguayanS,
battling in swampS, capture
nine whole regiments Of Boliv-
ians and deal a frightful blow
to the bigger, richer country.
There must be something as
indeStr1lctible in nations, how

Think how men have been

How they're been forced to
consider other people. Not
just their own families, their
own neighbors, but people

Think how you'd laugh at
someone who insisted on living

without a phone, car, news

doing things in the old, clumsy

Time is the ally of all Amer
leans who believe that the ira
ditional foreign policy be-
queathed to them by George
Washington in the Farewell Ad-
dress is the best chart by which
to navigate the American Ship
of State.
Less than a year ago the
Roosevelt Administration and
the Democratic leadership Of
the Senate were attempting to
take the United States into the
League of Nations through the
back door Of the League Court.
Efforts Abandoned
Now comes Senator Robinson
of Arkansas, majority leader Of
the Senate, with the welcome
assurance, following a confer
ence with the President, that
all efforts to ratify the League
protocols, now before the Sen
ate, have, for the time being at
least, been abandoned.
The reason given by the SEN
atOr for this decision is that
"tlie situation in Europe Is 50
complex that this is not the
OppOrtune time to proceed with
the resolutions relating to the
World Court"
This would seem to be an eX.
traordinary line of reasoning on
the part of those senators who
originally advocated American
membership in the League and
have continued to press for
American membership in the
League Court.
It was because Of the COM
plexity Of the European situa-
tion following the great war
that President Wilson urged the
United States to go into the
League and into the League
Court.
And this the United States
probably would have done had
not the Senate insisted upon
taking ample time to examine
the covenant-which is the con-
Stitution of the League-and to
debate it's every article until the
American people were thorough
ly informed in regard to what
American entrance into the
League would mean for this
country.
In the light of the informa-
ton which the great debate In
the Senate on the league cove
nant assembled and distributed
throughout the household Of
the nation, public sentiment
became aroused and then 1t
organized in support of the
anti-league Senators-much less
than a third Of the members
of the Senate to begin with.
Finally those Senators were
able to muster enough votes to
prevent the ratification of the
Treaty of Versailles, which in
cluded the league covenant.
Had t not been for the time
at the disposal Of the Senate

Perhaps this explains why
Big Business is where it is
today. Not that it is a sign
of retarded development to read
the comics, for almost every
one has a favorite character
in some funny section whose
career is a matter of consider
