PARTIES PONDER PREDICTION OF

6-TICKET RACE By BYROK PRIOR

(Chief of Bureau, tit* Press WsahtagatMi)

However skeptical map b* their remarks for publication, practical politicians have found much food for thought in the prediction of Senator James Hamilton Lewis that six presidential tickets map play significant parts in th* campaign of 1938.

Senator Lewis Is an old-timer at the game of politics. He ha* had many and varied experiences at watching the fall of ths cards, and the break of the play. His sugges­tions sometimes are tinged with that exotic originality which la so much apart of his Individuality, yet they never fall to be interest­ing.

The Senator says he would not b* surprised If there war* two Democratic tickets and two Re­publican tickets In the field: and he expects considerable prominence to attach also to the Socialist and the Prohibition tickets.

Such a situation might appear at first glance the dream of someone who had eaten too much Christmas candy. Yet, by one method of rea­soning It is possible to conclude that, if anything. Senator Lewis may have understated the

SPECIAL SATURDAY NIGHT DINNER

%mmm***»***mmma*»+mmm*mm*mmmm***mm

Some 90 couples danced beneath a canopy of fringed white to the strains of music by Eddie William­son and his Parisians orchestra last evening at the Y. W. C. A. gym­nasium for the home coming prom, sponsored by the Hl-Y organization of the Cortland High School. The affair which was given for mem­bers and alumni and their guests was held from 9 until 1, and marked one of the closing social events of the Holiday season.

A color scheme of white was utilized for the decorations which wer* the work of the committee, assisted by members of the organi­sation The entire side walls were covered with narrow strips of white crepe paper, while a false celling was formed of similar strips looped over wires hung closely together, the effect simulating snow. At one end of the gymnasium was hung a huge Hi-T banner, I feet by 10 feet, a red background with white letters. This was made by Mrs. A. R. Learn. Mrs. N. H. Marsted and Miss Barbara l earn .

Around the orchestra seats small evergreen trees and branches had been set, touches of red making ad­ditional color. The large* celling lights had been covered with blue paper which softened the colors and made a hary effect. A novel innovation waa the snow Btorm fea­ture which was held Just before the Intermission at 11. Multitudinous bits of white tissue had been cut info snow flakes, which were float­ed over the heads of the crowd by the use of electric fans. •

The programs for th* dances were of white Imitation kid. let­tered and tied In red. Beside the list of dances the committee me«m-bera and natrons and patronesses wer* nsm*d.

A feature of the evening was the presentation of Hl-Y pine to Prof. Edward G. Nellls and Fred Wilson, leaders of the organisa­tion. This presentation Was made by William Brewer, president of th* -club, in recognition of their services In the development of m-T. y

"American Primers,'* recently published by the University of Chi­cago Press Is ons of the most In­teresting recent ventures In pamph­let publication.

They are intended to meet the need for simple, readable, authentic Information and discussion of cur­rent issues In economics, politics and sociology.

Nine subjects dealing with such important American problems as crime, jobs, money, strikes, for­eign relations, youth in the de­pression, etc., are In the series all of which are now avallabls for circulation.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Knapp of River Street have Just received an interesting letter from their son, Francis Knapp, who is In ths navy. This latter was written on his re­turn from a trip through Hawaii.

He had Just returned from Hllo, when he wrote the letter and it explains in detail the trip which took them to visit the live volcsn-oss. Commenting on the trip, Francis said that be was not sure how long It would take for him to recuperate from the trip which was pretty difficult because of the scratches, etc., received from the chunks of hard lava through which they wsrs obliged to walk.

Ths exploration party started from the ship at Hllo at about 11 at night In two Dodge buses with eight persons in each bus. To get to ths volcano, they had to cross the Parker Ranch, which is the largest in the world and the one that Will Rogers visited when he was In that section last year. In crossing the Parker Ranch, they had to open and close II gates. After they had passed through the last gate, they had te leave the buses and go on on foot, * The- walk was most dlsastrous*to

vhoes and clothing. It took about eight hours to reach the destination from where they left the buses to go on toot to the summit of Mauna Loa and then they were unable to see the volcano nearer than nine miles away. They walked through old lava flows, which had grown up to grass and was very hard.

He says in his letter, "After a half hour's walk over this old lava flow, we earn* to a wall that was built up of lava by hand to sep­arate the Parker Ranch and the Government Reservation, and here the going really got hard. If you can Imagine a field that is solid with small boulders then when stepped on are liable to roll over on top of yon, or cause you to fall In a deep pit, I guess that is ths best wsy to explain the whole thing as It was. When we started from the buses we could see the lava flowing down the mountain aids, la what looked like an enormous river of glowing red. Every once in a while It would disappear and then ap­pear again further down the moun­tain side. We started off to get s s close to It Is possible. In the dark it was hard to see our way through the fields of old hard lava and there were many skinned shins. We couldn't get very close to the volcano because of the beat and hot lava. The heat did feci good, however, as It was rather chilly.

"It was interesting to watch the stream of hot lava as It poured over aad through the cold lava and Into the cracks. This sight of the red, hot lava as it poured from the volcano down the mountain side, will always remain with me, snd I shall try someday to really get to th* orater, because that one glimpse jf It gave me the will and longing to go back. The lava was bubbling up as * kittle of wa­ter would boll on the stove, only It was thicker and reminded me of hot metal being poured out of a melting pot."
