NEWS BRIEFS
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, July 7.-The United
States has one automobile in opera-
tion for each five of its citizens, the
automobile division of the department
of commerce announced today, bas-
ing its figures on a recent survey.
It was estimated that 95 per cent
of all the automobiles operating in the
world are of American origin, though
a considerable portion of them were
assembled in foreign branches of Ame-
rican factories.
HILO, Hawaii, July 7.-The huge
Kilauea volcano, slumbering for ages,
awoke today and poured streams of
lava from its crater. Halemaumau,
4,000 feet above the earth trembled as
the giant roused to activity.
Native Hawaians cast berries and
other offerings into the fire to appease
Psle, goddess of the volcano.
Warning of the impending eruptionj
was registered by the seismograph at
the observatory* at the crater rim
which recorded four slight tremors of
the earth in the two hours preceding
last midnight.

The story is of James Fraser, a de-
scendent of the Revolutionary Frasers
of Drums, now somewhat low in the
social scale of Southern life, but dis-
tinctly not a cracker nor a poor white.
His family live decently in the back-
woods of North Carolina with full
pride in their noble ancestry. , James,
the eighteen-year-old hero of the
novel, falls in love with Colonel Pre-'
vost's daughter, but his sense of in-
feriority, even though he knows he is
not truly inferior, makes him so sensi-
tive to supposed slights that he needs

by the Colonel's son. Here he sees
Stewart, of whom he is constantly be-
coming more enamored, and she prom-]
ises to answer his letters if he writes

The minor characters, negroes, so
