THROUGHOUT SOUTH

Newspaper Publishers Association
Becomes Optimistic.
[ey The Assoelated Pressl

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Feb. Ia
Steadily improving business conditions
In the south are indicated, in the
opinion OF Walter G. Johnston, Of
Chattanooga, Tenn, secretary treas-
urer of the Southern Newspaper Pub
fishers association, in the replies to a
recent QUESTIONABLE which he sent to
the $50, odd, members of the associa-
tion.
II found" said Mr.. Johnston. who
left here tonight for Chattanooga,
that in almost every case the circu-
lation of the newspapers is growing
steadily and that the advertising was
from 20 to SO per cent better for the
past January than for January, 1921.
This is a mighty good indication
that business is returning. If it were a
few isolated cases it might not mean
so much but the fact that both the
circulation and the advertising are in
creasing as general rule throughout
the south, seems to me to be mighty
good indication of business improve
ment generally"
Mr.. Johnston announced that a
meeting of the executive committee of
the Southern Newspaper Publishers
association will be held in Chatta-
nooga, February 81. when the time and
place for the next annual convention
will be fixed.

WILL DRILL INTO
HAWAIIAN VOLCANO
Operation Will BE Undertaken to De-
termine Heat and Steam of XII
lauea, Still Active.

HONOLULU. T. H.. Feb. fs.--Exten-
sive drillings into the great active vol-
cano Of Kilauea, on the island of Ha-
wall, will be undertaken during 1922
in an endeavor to determine the heat
OF the volcano, the quantity of steam
underneath, the mineral constituents
and the solution Of other related
questions. Professor r. A. Jaggar, Jr,
government volcanologist at Hawaii,
announced here today.
A fund OF $4,000 has been raised TO
defray the expense of the experiments
$4,000 having been contributed by
John Brooks Henderson, scientist of
Washington, ID. G., and the remainder
having been given by Hilo and Homo
lulu business men.
"The places of most interest are
where the ground is hot from recent
or ancient volcanic activity" Prof.
Jaggar said in explaining the pro-
posed drillings. .Borings will be un-
dertaken at the sulphur banks. at
several places in the bottom of Kill
auea crater, and in the region or re-
cent lava flows. at Kau desert. 1t is
aimed to penetrate the surface where
the lava flows are of known date so
rs W what cHdnEeS Oh lenlpeFa-
ture underground have taken place
with the passage of time. This Is the
most important scientific and practi-
cal problem involved in the borings-
how hot is the volcano and what are
the steam and water conditions under
an active volcano?
THE practical side of the knowledge
of underground temperature which the
behring's will give depends on what is
learned as TO chemical activity which
maintains the high temperature in
such a boring after the ground is
opened TO air. If high temperatures are
maintained so, possibly at red heat
FOR years II would be possible TO utilize
the heat for power"
kilauea now is unusually quiet but
a livening up in March at the equinox
is expected, Prof Jagar said. He said
he based this prediction on statistics
of former activities. Ten years ago
me volcano was in the same condition
as now, he said Then there was a lava
rising In September and one in March.
I'VE had the rise last September and
believe ii likely that 1t will re-occur
In March," he said.
