there are so many organizations doing

In some states a strong effort Is be

THE
ON BRINK OF KILAUEA
TOURI8T TELLS OF A VISIT TO
FAMOUS VOLCANO.
Finds It Is Not Just Back of City Mall,
as He Had Supposed, but Is
Forced to Admit It Was
Worth Seeing.
I had always thought that Kilauea
the largest active volcano In the
world, was Just back of the city hall
In Honolulu, but when 1 got to Hono
lulu I found that a person has to get
on a boat and ride all day and nipht
to the Island where the volcano has
secreted ItBelf. Bays a writer In Les
lie's Weekly. Instead of having to
climb a towering cone with one ol
those alpenstocks they have in the
chocolate advertisements, all we had
to do was to sit still and be whirled
clar to the crater. The only cone in
sight was one with Ice cream Inside
It. On the way to the crater I tried
to give sharp, penetrating glances at
the rock formations so that when peo
ple asked me what kind of trees,
shrubs, and flowers grow along the
way, and how many eruptions there
bad been, I could tell them, but for the
life of me 1 couldn't look outside I
couldn't keep my eyes off the newly
married couple and tne man from Ber
lin, who kept his camera open with
the bulb dangling ready any moment
to snap something for his "My Trip.
Abroad." The newly piarrled couple
cared nothing for flowers or how many
disturbances there had been. He was
more Interested in knowing if she was
happy, and she In throes of keeping
his tie Etralght.
"Kilauea crater!" called the chauf
feur, as If announcing a station, while
I marveled at the luxury of going to
see a volcano. All around was a deep,
rich-looking, black mud c.ll tumbled up
as If an unBeen hand as big as a state
had squeezed It out between Us fin
gers In rich, black streams, then gone
on to a new toy. It looked as if we
were going to step Into 40 acres of
gumbo, but instead of being rich, first
bottom mud a few steps out showed
It hard volcanic rock.
Watching until the wind lifted we
would edge In to the crater rim and
peer over, down Into the heaving
depths. We could see nothing, when
suddenly the smoke would rise, and
down In the blackness of a million
nights would come a glimmering light,
wavering and feeling, like a man with
a lantern coming around the corner,
beams reaching out and fingering the
way. With numbers lending courage
the lanes of light would gather and
spring up In a flare, would come -tumbling
and rolling up the sides as if
the lava were seeking freedom while
the guarding smoke nodded.
The light would shoot and reach
blindly for a moment, to be suddenly
cut off. as it massive firemen were
coaling the world, shutting their doors
behind every shovelful. Behind all,
under all, came a snapping and a
snarling, not like the complaint of
waves, but like the charging of- a
caged lioness; a frenzied, trapped an
imal defiance. Just as silence was be
ginning to burden and one's heart
ached for the lioness, light for a thou
sand temples would leap and a growl
ing would come as if the creature
were climbing the very sides.
Standing on the brink and peering
down into the boiling bottom, one
trembles and fear lays bold of him
lest he go crashlnc, but when one
stands long with only a few Inches
for shelter a wild desire comes to
leap over. Only does the shout of a
companion bring one to a realization,
and then one turns guiltily away.
Militarism.
Whom the gods would destroy they
first endow with loaded weapons and
then fill their heads with foolish no
tions about defending their honor.
Life.
Had It All Mapped Out.
"You'll have some explaining to do
when you get home, won't you?" "No."
replied the member of congress. "I'm
not going to explain. I'm going to
let my constituents argue matters out
among themselves and then take the
'side that seems to have the most ad
'ocates." Washington Star.

(Continued from page 1)
The record flight by a player recov
ering a forward pass, thrown by his
own team, was performed by H. W.
Miller of Pittsburgh, who ran seventy
yards through the Dickinson eleven.
The record flight toy a player Inter
cepting an opponent's forward pass
goes to Denton II. Sparks of Chicago,
who captured one of Purdue's forward
passes and ran elghty-flvo yards with
it for a touchdown.
Runs from recoverd fumbles, very
properly, were fewer In number In
1914 than In previous seasons, Indicat
ing an improvement upon the part of
players in holding the ball, and an
Improvement In tactics which pro
vides for safeguarding a fumble upon
every play. The longest and the most
spectacular run of this class was the
ninety-five yard dash of T. J. Coolidge
of Harvard against Yale.
Equal In glory with a ninety-yard
run through an entire team of op
ponents is a goal from the field from
the fifty-yard line. Prior to the pres
ent year only four men have accom
plished this feat by a drop-kick. The
names of these great kickers are
Alexander Moffat of Princeton, J. V.
Cowling of Harvard, J. E. Duffy of
Michigan and P. J. O'Dea of Wiscon
sin. So rare is the feat that fifteen
years have come and gone 6ince the
last goal from the fifty-yard line, or
beyond, was kicked by a drop-kick.
To this roll of heroes now must be
added two names, an unprecedented
occurrence at the close of a single
season. They are T. S. Cusack of
New York University, who sent the
ball skinning half the distance of the
field, over Rennseler's cross-bar, and
H. L. Cofall of Notre Dame, who
duplicated the performance against
Carlisle. But Cusac attracts .our at
tention in another way. He is an
Irishman and formerly . a member of
the Blackrock College team of Dublin.
In Ireland he was chosen three years
In succession as a member of the All
Eastern team of the Island, and for
seven years in succession was elected
a member of the All-Ireland team and
played in the International series
against England, Scotland and Wales.
An amasing feature of the season of
1914 was the large number of goals
from the field, and their astonishing
distances. Rare indeed was the game
in which a Bcore of this character was
not accomplished. In some games the
scoring on both sides was wholly by
goals from the field. In 1913 only
four goals from the field either by
drop or from placement were kicked
from the forty-yard line or beyond.
The past season, however, presents
twenty-three goals of this class, and
ten of these were from the forty-five-yard
line or better.
It is splitting a football hair per
haps to. Bay that only a single yard
separates the longest goal from drop
kick from the longest goal from place
ment, but such is the fact, for L.
Bingham of the University of Denver
kicked a goal from placement from
the forty-nine-yard marks, against
Wyoming. Second in the art are Mar
vin Pierce of Miami, who kicked a
goal from the forty-seven-yard mark,
against Mt. Union, and J. J. Dowlde
of ML St. Marys, who duplicated the
feat against Washington.
The foremost field goal man in the
United States in point of number of
goals kicked during the season was
W. Q. Cahall of Lehigh with a record
of ten goals for the season, all from
drop-kicks. Second was L. L. Lamb
of Pennsylvania State with six goals,
all from placement
To V. H. Halligan of Nebraska goes
the honor of having kicked the most
goals in one game, three, against Iowa
The prem:er punting honor brings
us to two players, each with a differ
ent claim to first place. Eals of Wil
liams, in the game against Wesleyan,
sent one punt a distance of seventy
five yards and maintained an average
throughout the 'game of fifty-three
yards. Le Gore of Yale, however,
made his longest punt againsi vow,
sixty-seven yards, but against Prince
ton, with a total of eleven punts;
amassed the enormous punting aver
age of fifty-five yards.
In' the east, M. D. Flelug of Wash
ington and Jefferson carries off the
honor for having kicked the most
goals following touchdowns, thirty
nine out of fifty-three attempts. Shar
ing with him first place is Lloyd Diet
zer of Mt. Union, who was given thirty-seven
opportunities to negotiate the
cross-bar during the season and suc
cessfully kicked the entire thirty
seven. Next to these men are Parks
of Tufts with twenty-eight and Pud
rlth of Dartmouth with twenty-seven.
The greatest point scorer and touch
down maker -of the year was E. N.
Mayer of Virginia, who made nineteen
