still STOPPING over low, for the July
Bug was so tiny.
And just as Uncle Wiggily stoop-

Kilauea Ready to
Spout Fireworks
By United Press Leased Wire

HILO, T. H., July Fire has
suddenly appeared In Halemaumau
pit of Kilauea, famous Lake of
Fire on the slopes of the vol
cano Mauna Loa, and the long
overdue rise Of the glowing lava is
expected.
Red lava was expected to flow
into the great open crater when
Mauna Loa erupted more than a
year ago and sent cataract of
lava down to the sea. After a few
rumglings in Kilauea, the main
lava flow subsidized and the thous-
ands of tourists, were disappointed.
The first indication of any ac-
tivity occurred a week ago when
earth cracks, some of them 1900
feet long, appeared near the rim
of the crater.
R. NJ. Wilson, volcanologist in
charge during the absence of DR..
Thomas \. Jaeger, recently warned
observers not to lingcr over long
