Be Held By Local
Dealer, April e

Lloyd E. Ramsden has announced
that he will hold "open house" on
Friday. April 23, tomorrow, and has
invited all past, present and prospec-
tive bicycle riders to their store. The
occasion is the observance of the 25th
anniversary of the Dayton bicycle for
which this local dealer has the
agency.
1t is part of nationwide celebra-
tion which will be held in the stores of
Dayton dealers throughout the coun-
try.
A number Of special features have
been arranged for the day and there
Will be something of interest for every
one. Free souvenirs will be given to
the first so boys and girls who visit
the store.
Mr.. Ramsden says that it is inter-
esting to compare the bicycles of today
with the crude affairs of 25 years ago
ana which cost twice as much money
as the modern bicycle. The Dayton
factory he says, has made more than
a million bicycles and is now building
them at the rate of one a minute.
A complete line of these BICYCLES
will be on display for this special
occasion.

Hilo, Island of Hawaii, I. H.-Many

led fathoms deep by the tremendous
lava flows from Kilauea volcano. 32
miles from here, which began speetac-
ular eruptions during the latter part
of October, 1919, and are still con-
tinuing.
Several large rivers of lava are in
action amid burning vegetation, giving
off a pungent iron foundry odor,
with waves of intense heat
Two species of lava are visible in
all directions pahoehoe. or smooth
lava and a-a the rought variety. At
one point great heap Of the latter is
advancing majestically towards the
sea at the rate of a hundred feet an
hour.
Throughout the length of the vari
Gus flows are continuous SUGGESTIONS
of underground explosions, due to the
violent escape of air confined in the
deep caverns.
Halemaumau, the pit of fire in Ki-
lauea's crater, is spectacular to a de-
gree. Hundreds of fountains of mol.
ten lava are playing at depth of 200
feet below the rim of the pit.

him. He went to bed somewhat early
because he said he had more work
