the cake.

ice away, freeing the big birds,
which flapped away, one by one,
as they were released.

HILO, Hawaii —(#)— The river
of rambling, flame-spitting lava,
which army aviators bombed Fri

Tuesday to devise measures for
protecting the water source.
Much pleased with the general
condition, Dr. Thomas A, Jagger,

of the flow could be attributed to
the army’s 20-bomb attack—an ac
