KILAUEA Have you ever heard that name before? It isn't one that we see often. Kilauea.is the largest active vocano in the world. It is near Hilo, Hawaii. On July 7, the huge vocano awoke and poured streams of lava from its crater, Halemaumau, 4,000 feet above the earth, which trembled as the giant aroused to activity. An earthquake at Hilo, thirty miles from the volcano, awoke a few residents about three o'clock in the morning and they gazed upon a beautiful and awe-inspiring sight.

Four huge fountains of fire 125 feet high were spouting upon the lofty slopes, and from the fire pit ran three rivers of lava, forming a blazing lake of rock 1,000 feet across. The main crater of the volcano is-eight miles around and 600 feet in depth. The lava in the pit was estimated to be from fifty to seventy-five feet in depth. To us, science, 'has a satisfactory explanation of this phenomenon but to the native Hawaiians, the Goddess Pele is angry, and she is spreading- destruction because of the neglect of her worshippers. In years gone by not so very long ago a human sacrifice was thought to be the only act which would appease the fierce goddess.

Young Hawaiians were selected and cast into the boiling laya as sacrifice to Pele. We who live so securely in our modern world begin to imagine that our world is all the earth until some story such as this coes from a corner of which, we have hardly' thought. This time the natives of the island did not c.ast a human sacrifice into the fiery pit of the volcano butthey cast berries and other offerings into the crater to appease Pele. So their attitude is not They do not dare the greater offering but they give what they can to soothe the angry one.

One day I was sold, to the United States Arm or the use of carrying mall. I was ThrlsUncd, 'The Spirit of St Louis," I was given a nice clean cut, brave pilot, a real American, named Charles A.

Proclaims "Public Safety" Period In an mttart to CUt down the hu man tnii taken bv automobile acci dents, Governor Smith proclaimed the three weeks 18 an Public Safety Period and an nounced that during this time automobile owners may nave imw inanect iton of their cars. The State Department of Motor Vehicles headed by Commissioners Charles A. Harnett has mapped out a safety campaign in conjunction with service stations and garages 'throughout the State. The car owner may drive Into any garage and ask for a safety Inspection. Brakes, horns, lights, steering mechanism and mirrors will be ex amined without any charge.

Defects In -suoh- apparatus are responsible for an Important proportion or automobile accidents according to sta tistics gathered by Comirilssloner Harnett, Pointing out that careful and fre Inspection would eliminate many accidents the governor said: i "I earnestly urge that all owners of motor vehicles avail themselves of this opportunity of free inspec tlon of such vehicles and the ellm inattion of all defects. "I respectfully commend to the teachers in our schools the impor tance of stressing the significance of this safety movement, and I fur ther recommend the subject ot pub' lie safety as an appropriate theme for clergymen and public speakers during.Publlc Safety Period, to the end that greater success will attend the effort to reduce our accident hazard."

Joe didn't like the cheap picture of "The Father of Our Country" which hung over his teacher's desk and he decided to remedy matters." From sales of ice cream after school, hours he saved $85, and upon his own initiative commissioned an artist-to copy the original Stuart portrait of Washington in the Art Institute. It is extraordinary for a boy or girl to show such appreciation of art. We wish there were more like Joe in the United States.
