MODERN ADVANCEMENT &IS DIMMING SOUTH SEA ROMANCE, ADVENTURE HONOLULU, T. H.. Dec. 15. The glamour, romance, and adventure of the South Seas are disappearing before the spread of modern methods of industry, education and living, accordins to J. F. G. Stokes, ethnologist, attached to the Eishop museum hem, who has returned from a two year tour of the Austral islands in connection with the museum's endeavor to establish the origin of the Polynesian race. Even Rapa, the Pindot Island which has become famous as a place where the men were fed by women and lolled around listlessly on a stretch of coral strand under the shade-giving palm trees is beginning to show the marks
of civilization, despite the fact that
the ratio of inhabitants continues to
approximate four women to one man. Stokes said. There are only 23 taxpayers men between the ages of 21 and 60 on tho island. The rest of the 236 inhabitants are women, young boys and old men. Women Do Work. "All the work except the fishing is done by the women, who are comely, strudy, exceedingly tall, muscular and hospitable," Stokes said.- "The women who first drew attention to Rapa through stories that the women fed the men, apparently visited the island during a festival, when the women fed the men 'in fun. The women, ' however, do perform all agricultural work. "Despite the heavy ratio of women
to men, 'no man has more than one official wife.' The women are none too willing to marry the men of Rapa, as they become little more than slaves, vonce tt-.ey are married. They have no ('hold or control over their husbands, - and i? they attempt to enjoy the same privileges as their husbands they axe liable to receive a severe beating.
"The inhabitants of Rapa are ex
tremely hospitable to Mhite man."

The Child Who "Tells Stories" When a child comes home and tells about seeing a "big lion and a bear" in the neighbor's backyard, it is a mistake to punish him for lying. He has an imagination which should "be guided in the right direction. Say to him, "So you saw a make-believe lion, did you?" Distinguish betwen fact and fancy, but do not stunt the fancy.

With the help of the Budget Bureau, with the cooperation of Congress, with the aid of continual prodding from the White House, the United States Government seems at last to be in a happy way financially. When the newspaper editors read the message President Harding submitted to Congress along with the budget for the next fiscal year, even the Democrats promptly sat down and wrote cheerful, happy, and congratulatory editorials. For they learned that this prodigal Government of ours has in three years cut down its spendin gs from a six-billion-dollar to a three-billion-dollar basis; that it is going to spend half a billion dollars less in the next fiscal year than in the present; that the expected $600,000,000 deficit for 1923 has already been cut down by half and, since it is only December, may very well be wiped out altogether by the end of the year on June 30; and finally, that the official Budget Bureau estimates for the fiscal year ending in 1924, indicate a substantial surplus of $180,969,125. You will read in THE LITERARY DIGEST this week. December 16th, how the reduction in government expenses has been effected, what activities have been curtailed, and what the probable effects upon the tax-payer may be.
