LULL IN SOCIAL EVENTS ALWAYS
FOLLOWS GAIETY OF HOLIDAYS

its features, the million dollar baby
show already announced.
February Busy
February, if it follows the pre-
cedent set by many years, will see
many parties as hostesses begin to
realize that it won't be SO long
before the weather turns warm.
February also has the advantage
OF being a perfect month for en-
PERTAINING since Washington's birth
day, Lincoln's birthday, Valentines
day provide many ideas for at
tractive decorations.
This year, with an extra day in
February due to leap year, ii is
safe to prophesy that there will be
a number of parties featuring the
leap year motif.
Junior Ten Thousand club mem
berS are already preparing for
their spring dance, set for Satur-
day. Feb. is.
Membes of the Methodist church
have reserved Friday, Feb. as a
day for their use, planning big
affair details of which are to be
announced later.
Girl Reserves have taken advan-
tage of Februarys extra day to
hold an annual conference on the
twenty ninth, girls from all parts
of the valley assembling.
Events i'm April
Events have been scheduled as
far in advance as April. April
Fools day has been set aside by
the Ten Thousand club for an in
door track meet which Mrs. A. B.
Hanson will direct and which
promises to be a most hilarious
affair. Those who witnessed Mrs.
Hanson's program for the closing
meeting of the club last year will
realize that she will undoubtedly
make the utmost of all possibilities
inherent in April Fools day.
Junior Ten Thousand club mem
bers will hold their final dance of
the season on April 4, completing
their series of three dances.
With these definite events plan
ned. it is safe to assume that there
will be Palo Verde festival, a
Charity ball sponsored by the Elks,
the annual Firemen's ball, the an
nual Masonic celebration on Wash
jngton's birthday, numerous benefit
bridge parties and dances, a num-
Der of weddings, many recitals as
the end of school approaches, and
all the festivities attendant upon
graduation.
After school closes the summer
lull will start as one by one fam
lilies leave the valley for the long
vacation.

FIERY FLOW
OF VOLCANO

HILO, T. H., Jan. U.p)-Madame
Pele. volcano goddess, answered rev.
erent tribute paid her today by ma
tive Hawaiians when Mauna Loa

than a month has been extremely

believed the eruption was nearing
an end.
While island authorities took
emergency precautions in the face
of an advancing flow of molten
rock nearing Hilo, the natives feted
Madame Pele in a traditional New
Years day ceremony, by which
they hoped to sooth the goddess.
They have long regarded activity
within the mountains seething pit
a good omen, especially on the first
day of the year.
On the claters rim they left
red ohelo berries, okolehao NATIVE
liquor, gin, articles of clothing and
other mentos.
Meanwhile officials planned q
large scale counter offensive to
halt the steaming, molten mass OF
liquid rock which has been creep
ing toward Hilo and the Waikiki
river, chief source of watec supply
for more than three weeks.

POLI'S

Starting today, Polls will show a double-feature program that will be acclaimed by all who see it as one of the best ever seen in this city.
 Jean Harlow's newest starring vehicle, "suzy" in which the popu- far actress is supported by Franch0t Tone and Cary Grant, aS the first feature, tells an eleCtrifying story of c beautiful American chorus girl stranded in London at the outbreak of the World War and caught in the web of war-time espionage.
 Jean w befriended by q young inventor and before they fairly know it they're in love. They marry and on their wedding day the bride- groom is shot. The circumStances are such that every shred of cvi- denCe points to tho bride aS the guilty one. T'erirfled---BtrickGn with grief--shc runs away to hide in Paris
 Franchot Tone and Cary Grant portray the husbands, and the role Miss Harlow plays is different from any of her previous ones, and one she personally requested.
 The singing of "Did I Remember" the seasons outstanding Bong.hit but Jean is one of the many high lights of this picture. Don't miss "Buzy."
 "I,ogong" is the co-fcature, but this fact does not detract from its greatness, because playing aS c sin- gl0 feature on Broadway during its premiere showing it established 6 record of l4 consecutive weeks.
 "Legong" is Q fascinating story of the beautiful South Sea Islands and was photographed entirely in technicolor. The cast is comprised of natives of the beautiful Isle Of Bali (thc land Of d00na- -0oonO uB- ing native music throughout.
 Native dances, in native costumes, are depicted and the "Dance of the Virgins" from which the picture gets its title is both exciting and n glamorouB spectacle to watch.
 Next Wednesday evening, aS add- cd attraction to the weekly Vaude- vile presentation the Miss Water- bury" contest will be held on the stage. Some young lady will be chosen to represent Waterbury in this Miss Connecticut contest.

Hollywood, Aug. 1.-The average movie star doesn't know 6 ballroom jib from martingale, but many of them go nautical during the hot spell and take their social events down to the sea in yachts.
 All they need to know, anyway are such terms as fore, aft, Star- board, port and sherry. Hired skip. pers and crews take care of the de- tails. Most details, anyway, except the singing of chantoyS. Gene Fowler and Colo Porter are tho chantcy -laurcates of Hollywood. Not always nautical, but--buoy, oh buoyl --plenty salty.
 Most of the sailing is done be- tween the mainland and Catalina Island, 22 miles away. But Q few motion picture people had boats in the recent race to Honolulu. Lee Tracy sailed his auxiliary schooner, Adore, which incidentally has the most powerful radio equipment of ell privately owned vessels in the Pacific.
 Director Fay darnett and his yacht are now in China seas, where he's photographing backgrounds for Q future picture. 0arnett didn't sail it over, though.
