MAGNIFICENT SPECTACLE
BY KILAUEA VOLCANO
As Molten Lava Cut Into the Forest
Trees Were Set on Fire and
Burned to Their Bases

Hilo, Island of Hawaii. Feb. Xii
auea volcano, which during the closing
months of 1919 produced an eruption
surprising anything of its kind in re-
cent years, opened 1920 with another
magnificent spectacle which had not
been paralleled since 1868.
On Dec. %, lava from Kilauea forced
its way up through the floor of the
kau desert, six miles distant from the
firepit of the crater and by New Years
day observers were watching flow Of
molten lava, six miles long and 100
yards wide, travelling southwark
through the forest of ohia trees at a
rate of three miles per day. An inner
channel of the flow was making as high
speed as II miles an hour at the source,
and yelling from springs II feet across
As the molten lava cut into the for
est the trees were set afire, many OF
them being quickly burned through at
their bases and carried along upright in
the flow like ranks of giant torches.
The location of kilauea's most re-
cent outbreak is along the rift line of
1868. left by the terrific earthquakes
which rocked the Island of Hawaii in
that wear. The rift, clearly defined,
runs from the southern rim OF Hale
maumau. the "house of fire." or firepit
of Kilauea, through the south wall OF
the main crater and thence to the sea,
20 miles away, in series of wide, par
allel crevasses. The new flow, how
ever. has not made its appearance
along the rift at point closer to the
frepit than six miles, where it has
welled up through the thickly lava
coated desert floor of kau
From the rift line many molten foun-
tains could be seen spouting 30 feet in
the air. Heavy fumes were emanatlng
from the earth along the entire line OF
the rift.
kilaueas latest outbreak is the cul-
mination of long period OF tremen-
dous activity, caused say the volcano
observers, by underground pressure of
lava which was not relieved by the re-
cent discharges from the crater proper.
As the desert flow increased, the lava
level in Halemaumau continued 70
sink. until volcanologists prophesied
that the pit might be drained.

CHAMPION WAR GARDEN DIRECTOR
TO WRITE FOR THE TIMES RECORDER
HOW TO GROW FOOD IN YOUR OWN BACK YARD

Champion war garden director of
America-this title was won by W.
F. Fechner, of Dallas, Tex
That's why he has been employed
to write series of stories for the
Times-Recorder readers on How to
Grow Food in Your Back Yard" If
followed, the directions given by
Fechner will demonstrate to the
backyard gardeners of Americas how
he induced the people of Dallas to
raise more than 100000 worth of
food annually during the war.
Employed by the County Council
of Defense in 1918, Fechner gave
Dallas its first dose of community
garden instruction. The result was
that more than $4,000 gardens were
planted in back yards and on vacant
lots in Dallas that year. All these
were registered with the County
Council of Defense. When the next
eight largest cities of Texas reported
the gardens registered with their
county councils of defense it was
found that Dallas had one more war
garden than all of them combined.
Fechner's career as public garden
was continued last sum-
mer with the backing of the city gov
eminent. He is practical gardner,
tree doctor and landscape gardener.
His great success as war garden direc-
tor was due to his ability to get news
paper publicity.
At night he wrote articles on gar
dening, answered questions for pub
LEGATION and answered others over
the phone. All day long he demon
5trated from one school house to an
other and from one community gath
ering to another. And somehow,
with the help Of his wife and daugh-
Ter, he managed to plant, cultivate
and harvest the largest crop of gar
len produce secured from an equal |
sized tract of ground. His own dem
)nstration garden was the wonder Of |
al those who saw it.
Fechner never wrote about gar.
Lining theory. 1t was the practice |
If this means of bringing down the |
ugh cost of living that he wrote on
