. AUCKLAND, N. Z. — First a
hot lake, then a mass of red-hot
lava, the crater of Mount Ruape-
hu, 9,000 feet ihgh, in the center
of the North Island of New Zea-
land, now has developed into a
fine snow basin for skiers.
This crater lake, surrounded by
icy cliffs several hundred feet
high, had for years been one of
New Zealand’s foremost tourist
i attractions. Bluish-green in color,
it was cool enough for swimming
in some parts while in others it
was almost boiling. It gave off a
sulphurous vapor and at times
there were minor upheavals in
the lake. Otherwise the mountain
gave no sign of activity and it
was generally considered to be
decreasing into an extinct vol-
cano.
Last year, however, it burst in-
to violent activity, sending shots
thousands of feet into the air, and
hurling out from the crater bould-
ers as large as houses. The lake
disappeared and bnly masses of
lava were visible in the raging
inferno of the crater. A heavy
coating of volcanic ash covered
the mountain and made ski-ing
impossible.
This year activity has steadily
decreased and with the winter
sports season now in full swing
skiers have been flocking to the
| mountain. The floor of the old
lake covers some eight acres. It
[ is broken only by a volcanic vent
' in the center. This still shows
■ signs of minor activity. Water is
| t times thrown up to a height
1 of 30 feet.

• WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN was the greatest prohibitionist
in our history. . . . Today his statue stands in the nation's capital
not far from the Potomac river . . . But a malicious fate has let a
brewery (where today beer is made) rise behind the statue. If
you were to photograph the monument to the great prohibitionist,
from almost any angle, you would have the beer works as a back-

Two Favorite Stories of
Publisher John H. Perry
By AUSTINE CASSINI
Central Press Correspondent
• WASHINGTON—Rural press lord, John H. Perry, running after
his hat, blown off in the propwash at Washington airport, on the
way to his Kentucky plantation . . . Perry, the 65-year-old owner
of a nation-wide chain of country papers, is an old-line newspaper-
man, '.vho started business as a S•'■’ttie lawyer. ... He has dabbled
in politics and the press for so long that he has known top figures
in both fields. He enjoys telling about the night he was playing
backgammon with Harry Hopkins, who asked:
"What about a vice president to run with
F. D. R. ? He must be a mar. sure to carry an
• uncertain state ”
"How about Henry W'aJlaee ?" suggested Perry.
Harry gave him an are-yau-kidding look. "He
wouldn't gel. two votes in Iowa "
"Well,' Perry continued, “whai about Senator
Harry Truman from Missour. ""
Harry Hopkins thought a moment "Say," he
exclaimed, “I think that's an idea!"
Another of John Perry a favorite stories con-
cerns the time be mentioned Arthur Brisbane to
William Jennings Bryan who tossed a torrent of
epithets:
"That cur! That scoundrel! That etc!"
Perry looked shocked. "Why, that’s strange,"
he fibbed. "Just the other day I was talking to Brisbane and he said
what a wonderful fellow you were!"
“Oh, well, now, don't get me w-o-g " protested William Jennings
Bryan, completely changing his lune
"That is—er—uh—he's not a bad sort."
“That four-flushing old windbag!"
“Now, Arthur,” said Perry, and went through the same routine
of telling Brisbane what nice things William Jennings Bryan had
said about him. . . . Perry got a kick out of watching Brisbane’s
tone change. But more than a kick, he accomplished what ne
wanted—he brought the two famed enemies, William Jennings
Bryan and Arthur Brisbane, together as guest speakers at the same
banquet, where they chatted lovingly with one another.

senators and representatives were bounding out as free as kids on

horse, “Spice of Life." wins prizes in all shows around Washington)
