Island of Hawaii, T. H„ July 9.— (LP)—The eruption of Kilauea today was becoming in­ creasingly spectacular. Where earlier in the day three steaming rivers of lava were flow­ ing into the mile wide pit of Halemaumau, there are now only two. The great cone of belching fire dividing two of the rivers collapsed, merging them into one wide stream of lava. As the wails of rock crumpled and were swallowed up in the "Lake of Fire," two additional fountains spouted into action, belching steaming lava 300 feet high. The crater is filling rapidly, in­ creasing the danger of avalan­ ches. The flow of lava Into the big pit increased appreciably fol­ lowing several early morning ex­ plosions.

July ».— (IP) — Aaron Sapiro's mlllton-dollar libel suit against Henry Ford will be settled out of court, according to William H. Gallagher. The terms of the settlement will be announced within a week, the Jewish farm cooperative or­ ganizer's lawyer said today. The suit will be settled because of the billionaire's disavowal of the anti-Jewtsh policy of his mag­ azine, the Dearborn Independent. Gallagher said Sapiro had sued Ford for vindication. Instead of money, and that Ford's repudia­ tion of the Independent's attacks on Sapiro practically had ended the case. Unable to secure sufficient co­ operation, arouse active interest or get support from flower grow­ ers in the community, members of the Ashland Floral Society de­ cided at a recent meeting to per­ manently disband, according to Mgs. Lewis Jacks, who was presi­ dent of the society. This organisation was discon­ tinued with much regret by the members who have done much toward developing an interest in the development of flowers in this city. A flower show held at the Ashland hotel this spring, was one of the successful enter­ prises of recent months.
