HONOLULU, I UP I The science of predicting volcanic eruptions has become so accurate that Dr. Thomas A. dagger. Jr., volcanologist with the United States park service in Hawaii, has been called to the West Indies to ascertain when the next eruption may take place on the island of Montserrat. The trip, investigation and prediction is being made at the request of the Hoyal Society of London. Dr. Jaggar expects to complete his work by late summer. For more than a year earth tremors have alarmed the people of Montserrat and the Hoyal Society of London sent Dr. Jaggar to survey the scene and to recommend any precautions that might be taken for the safety of the population. It happened that the invitation came at an opportune time, for Dr. Jaggar declares he is certain the volcanoes of the Hawaiian group will remain quiet for the next two years. His
qualifications for making such a statement are attested by his previous uncanny accuracy in forecasting eruptions. Hawaii's latest display of volcanic activity started Nov. 21. 19.15, and ended March 15 of this year. During the period, lava flowed from the side of Mauna Loa in the national park until early in January, after which the activities consisted of smoke pouring from the mountain's crater. Almost two years earlier. Dr dagger had predict'd this eruption. Not only did he fix the time, but he set the point where the lava would burst from the side of the mountain and the lirection it would take. As activity started and continued. it bore out the truth of the scientist's prediction in fud detail. The latest volcanic disturbance also testified the volcanologist’s farsightedness. On March 26. 19.14. he stated in a public i I dress that when activity started and lava began to rumble and tumble down the mountainside "our aviators and bombers will rejoice at tin opportunity to show their prowess.” At that time, nobody knew what the scientist had in mind. Yet, when lava threatened to dam up the
water supply 60 miles from the city of Hilo. Dr. Jaggar suggested to the U. S. army in Hawaii that planes be sent to drop bombs upon the lava, thus diverting it to a section where it could do no damage. His suggestion was carried out. Tons of high explosives were dropped on the river of lava near its source. Three days later the lava ceaseil to flow. It was the first time a volcano had been made bombing objective. It was only because of the faith which Dr. Jagger has in his own science and predictions that he accepted the invitation of the Hoyal | Society to leave his post and underj take the Montserrat investigation. "Since I am sure the volcanoes in Hawaii National Park will be in- | active for the next year or two, 1 I feel it is safe to leave my post long enough to accept the inv.'ation to study the problem of the West Inj dies.” he said. t The scientist bases h't predicJ lions upon the duration of past j flows, the intervals between flows during the past century and a mathematical table showing an 11-year cycle between major eruptions.

< liateau Gene Autry, the singing cowboy, Is starred in "Cornin’ Round The Mountain," at the Chateau tonight and Saturday. In what is said to be Autry's best picture, he is cast as a pony express rider who is ambushed by plotting ranch hands and an important package of currency stolen. Gene goes to the rancho of a pretty Spanish ranch owner, played by Ann Ruthford, in his hunt for clues. He finds them there, and frinds with them adventure and romance.
Voncastle "Tile Cowboy and the Kid,” with Ruck Jones and Billy Burrud, heads the bill at the Voncastle Saturday. The story which was also written by
Buck Jrnes, contains more comedy than the average western picture. "Human Cargo,” with Claire Trevor and Brian Doniovy, is the picture tonight.

CHAPTER VII "tlELLO — General Hospital.” * * Hetty waa seated before the phone in the Winslow living room, while Jackie, the inevitable drink in bis hand, was pacing up and down nearby. "This ia Miss Winslow again. I’m calling about Bobby Sanborn. lias Doctor MacLaren finished operating? He has? Let me speak to him, please! ” There was a slight pause, then: “Hello — Doctor MacLaren? How did it come out?” As she listened to the answer the color slovly drained out of her face. Jackie gulped his drink and hurried to her side. Just as she hung up the
receiver.
"Well — what happened?” her brother demanded as Betty rose w ithout a word and started to stumble out of the room. “Bobby died on the operating table,” she answered without looking at him. “That means an
‘‘Why—how nurvelous!" Betty’s face became rail ant “I’m going to call him up right now and tell him how wonderful he is.” “I wouldn’t do that if I were you,” cried Jackie almost in a panic, as he stepped betwa-cn her and the phone. “Why not?” She looked up at him, startled and alarmed. “Well—as a matter of fact—" Jackie was thiMuiig fast "He told me to warn you about that—not to call him up or anything. . . . You never can tell wlmn somebody might be listening in— and it wouldn’t look so good.” “Oh! Of course.” She smiled softly to hersel' then her eyes tilled with tears. ‘’Oh.

defense lawyer, who shrugged and shook his head. The sergeant testified grimly that he had arrested Betty four times for speeding within the last two mouth*. “Very interesting." purred lit* questioner. “Do you recall accurately any of the speeds at which Miss Winslow was travelling when you stopped her." “Once she was going eighty five; another time seventy-two.” “On the occasion when you sto> ped this young lady what did her attitude seem to be?” “At first she tried to laugh it off, then she got sore." "Sergeant Sanborn.” the prosecutor begun in a changed voice. “You had a son. didn't you?” “I object!" Anderson shouted as he leaped to his feet "The question is immaterial and Irrelevant and put only to prejudice
"That means an indictment for manslaughter.” Jackie gasped. “I’m going down to talk to Lieutenant Knox Maybe we can straighten this out yet."
indictment for
manslaughter,” gasped Jackie. "Oh, Lord!” He turned back to the cocktail shaker, then thought better of IL “Listen. Sis.” he stammered. “I'm going down to talk with Lieutenant Knox. Maybe we can straighten this out y«L" He tried to look re-assur-ing but his hands were shaking as he poured another drink. That afternoon, while the newsboys were shrieking "Betty Winslow Held on Manslaughter Charge,” Jackie returned home, apparently in the best of humors. "Well — It's all over and done with.” be announced proudly. "1 saw your friend, Mr. Knox.” "What happened?" His sister gripped his arm tensely. “Everything's okay!” Jackie’s broad grin seemed a trifle forced and tinnaturni but she did not notice
that
"You—you told him—?” She could hardly believe her ears. “Y’ou mean about how I was driving the car—instead of you?” be inquired brightly. "Well no— I didn’t tell him that." Then, as he saw hope on Betty’s face slowly dying, he rushed on almost gaily. "Don't got me wrong. Sis 1 was all set to be noble and tell everything but I didn’t have to. lie’s got It all tixed for you already." "Fixed?" Slie stared incredulously. “How could he?" “Listen.” Jackie was vague but knowing. "A guy like that has a lot of angles to work on we don't know anything about. I don't know what he's got up bis sleeve, but you can bet one thing: when he gets on that witness stand, the whole case ngai ist you is going to fall to pieces.”
“Sure!” said her brother uncomfortably as he ame over and patted her shoulder. A moment later she was sobbing in his arms. Her face buried against his coat she could not see his half-ashamed, half-fur-tive expression, as he muttered with forced cheerfulness: “Don’t cry. Sis— Everything’s going to be all right.”
It seemed that all of Ilaverstock had crowded itito the courtroom to attend the manslaughter trial of “Mr. Winslow s daughter." The first hours of the case were commonplace enough as photographs of skid marks and the wrecked cars as well as diagrams and charts, were Introduced as evldence. The examination and cross-exami-nation of Dodie Sloan then provided a bit of relaxation for the tense audience. “Your evidence is strangely contradictory, Mrs. Sloan.” the exasperated district attorney said at last. ‘‘You admit that you saw Miss Winslow’s car pass you on the road. . . .” “Did I say that?” exclaimed Dodie innocently. “Y’es, Mrs. Sloan, you did,” the D. A. answered ironically. "Yet at the same time you say you were thinking of something else. Now Just what were you thinking about, Mrs. Sloan?” "It had nothing to do with this case.” Dodie tossed her head tartly. “That will be all," growled the discomfited prosecutor. “Sergeant Sanborn,” he called the next witness. As the burly cop strode toward the stand. Betty winced aud looked appealingly at Audarson, her
the |ury “ "Objection sus tained.” ruled the Judge. "Clerk, strike the question off the rec-
ord.”
“That will be all. Sergeant Sanborn." said the District Attorney as be noted with satisfaction tbo effect which this Interchange bad had on the Jury. "Sergeant Maloney. will you take
the stand?”
After being duly sworn, Maloney testified about the braketesting incident. When direct exa m t n a t 1 o n had been complet-
ed, Anderson rose to his full height of six feet three and began a rapidfire cross-examination. "Sergeant Maloney," he snapped, "in making a brake test you lirst mount the running board of the car. Y'ou then order the driver to start the motor. You watch the speedometer until the car has reached the speed of thirty miles an hour and then order the driver to stop. Is this
correct?” "Yes, sir.”
“The driver Is then supposed to Jam on the brakes as hard as poseible and the result of the test Is Judged by the distance the car travels after this has been done?” "That’s right.” “In other words, the results of the test depend considerably upon the co-operation of the driver, don't
they?”
“I don’t quite get you. sir.” "If the driver did not press down the brakes as forcefully as possible, the car might travel a considerable distance—without the brakes necessarily being defective; is that pos-
sible.
Well . . . Yes. sir.” Maloney was bewildered. "Now you have testified that Miss Winslow did not seem willing to cooperate in making the test, and that you kept your eyes on the speed ometer until the car reached thirty miles an hour. In that case you could not be sure whether she was applying full pressure on the brake
pedal."
"Well ... I... No. sir, I couldn’t,"
admitted Maloney.
“That will be all." smiled Anderson who had scored his biggest
point.
Lieut. James Knox, please take the stand.” ths prosecutor requested. (2 e is eonttnu»<U
