Mystery of Migrrtici's Slumps Hun. tired Experts Who Are in Quest of Polynesian Data. Honolulu, f, li.—If eertalti varieties n! snails in the Hawaiian islands could talk, tell when -e they started their migrations ami how they traveled from ime island to uimther in tlie Paeilie, the World would he dose to the solution of Ha* origin of the Polynesian rue,', aeeordieg to scientists attending the Paii-Pueiltc Seientitie congress in Session fere. Upward -if a htmdivd of the mosi noted exjii rls of most of the eoltlitries bordering tlie Paeilie o can have disettssed the possible origin of the Polynesians during 1 he sessions, and on one |io 111 tin y all agree—they don't know yet where ;I.e Polynesians ori1 glnattsl. Having failed to pry any Information out of the snail, the seientists Igrned to tile common or garden varl- | ety of chieken. Tiiis useful hlrtl is believed to have been domestic;.tod by the Polyin-intis about Hsst I!, r. According to seientllle o'aia the chicken ronehod Egypt about "tsi It. C. It Is believed to have originated in southern Asia, but how did it get to Polynesia? A not In r iniposse. p.egonia seeds and those of about "iki other plants found in the Hawaiian group furnished a little more Information ihan either the snail or the Chicken, according to the seientists. Ocean currents are said to have brought ilicin here. HipisiorlaI currents flowing across 1 'enirnl America front the Atlantic are believed to have forced the Pacific currents westward, carrying driftwood tied seeds. The proei s S of transportation and germination appears to have been fairly lengthy, since if is estimated Hint perhaps .me seed arrived front the American eoniineni and bore fruit within the period of a million years. Grasshoppers furnished their utiola to tlie discussion which terminated about where it had begun in the known facts that tlie Polynesian race came out of Hie nut Mown and. being a rapidly dying race, is fast passing to the am hal ted shore where It was
born.

Treasury Department is Spending Million Do'lars to Encourage Saving. WANTS PEOPLE TO INVEST Carrying cn Crmpaign for the Sale of Thrift Stamps. W.tr Saving Stamps and Saving Certificates — School Rooms Organized. Washington.— Pnele Sam Is spending .’<1 .POO,oon this rear, through Hip J savings division of tlie treasury deI partnieiit, in an effort to encourage
t thrift.
| The expenditure of SI.000,000 compares with an ejypendlllire Inst year of • approximately S4,000,0(g). and the *tatT • of einplovei-* w hich comprises a force ^ in Washington and 1111 organization In r every federal reserve district cotn- ; pares with the great force inherited from the war. Advocates Opening of Bank Accounts. The savings division carries on the campaign for the sale of Thrift stamps. War Savings stamps and saving certificates, hut these sales are merely a side line to the general effort. for Just as much sne-s Is being put upon the opening of savings accounts In the banks as upon the sale of stamps. Through the subsidiary organizations just as much effort is being made to have the housewife keep a budget as there is effort t<» propagandize the homes in the Interest of government securities. In the period from December 1. 1917, to January 1, 1919, Hie sale of government securities, exclusive or. Liberty and Victory bonds, reached more than M.nou.Oi>0.000. |n 1919 the sales dropped to $i:H.2.”.O.OS7.S-l. In the tir«t six months of this year the sales dropped to .»2fi.9S5.S-i” But the report of the six months of the year is no indication of what the final report wll! lie, according to O. C. Lester of the savings division, who says the people do not save as much during the summer months as at other
times.
School Rooms Are Organized. When the government first Initiated Its drive for thrift and asked the assistance of the people, the savings division was organized and the request ■nade for other organizations to co-op-erate with It. A drive was made to interest the school organizations. Hie organizations of women, the clubs and industrial concerns and others. But the effort was not entirely successful and the policy has been reversed. The government is now'say ing to till these organizations that it is ready to cooperate with them and success is being had. Thousands of school cnoms are now organized and in many cities and stales courses in thrift are being made a regular part of the curriculum. Industrial concerns have also organized their chibs. Women are teaching the necessity of the budget in the home, l-'rati rntil organizations have Joined In and the entire groundwork for the savings campuign lias heen laid.

Increase cf More Than 500 Per Cent Since 1914—America Is Now in Second Place. Loudon.—According to Lloyd’s Register m Shipping for 192H-21 Just issued. the seagoing tonnage of the United States apart from Great Lakes shipping, has increased since 1914 by over 51 n 1 per cent and now stands at 12,40tl.009 tons. Thus the United Stales eotnes second only to the Uniled Kin doni which lias 1S.111.900
tons.
Japan, which in 1914 took sixth place, is now third, with 2.9‘.H1.H00 tons, closely followed hy I'rnnce with 2,9(i.’5,000 tons. Including sailing ships, hut excluding tonnage on the Great Lakes, Hie United States now owns 24 per cent of the world's tonnage as against 4.7 per cent six years agm, tlie Register state*. The figures shown for the formerly belligerent countries include a considerable amount of enemy tonnage provisionally allocated to those countries. Germany, which In 1914 occupied, after the United Kingdom, the first position with over .'.(ttm.iMlo tons of shipping, now only owns 419,090
tons.
The steam tonnage owned hy the principal maritime countries In June, 1920. totalled 58,905.000, an increase of S,501,000 tons as compared with June, 1914; but it is computed that the world's net loss fn shipping through the war, taking into account Hie suspension in normal shipbuilding activities, amounts to 8,510,000 tons. There is a reduction in sailing tonnage since pre-war days of 014.000 tons, a much smaller decrease than In any previous six year period and doubtless accounted for, says the Register, by the shortage of other tonnage having given new life to the construction of sailing vessels. The United States. Hu' only country which litis increased sailing tonnage since 1914, now owns over 48 tier cent of the world's sailing tonnage.

As a result of his “test” he is now minus the better part of his left hand. Finegold asked the person w ho brought in Hie gun to sell if it were loaded. The owner said he wasn’t sure. "I can soon tell," said Finegold. and he did. The secondhand dealer placed his left hand over the muzzle and pulled the trigger with the other. It was loaded.
