TALES FROM BIG CITIES

Native Hawaiians Rapidly Making Good

HONOLULU— When the American congress, as the result of the efforts of the Hawaiian territorial delegate, Prince Jonah Kubio Kalanianaole, enacted the Hawaiian homes bill for the purpose of rehabilitating the vanishing Hawaiian race, its success depended far more upon the response It received from the people it was intended to benefit than upon the efforts of Ith promoters. Prince Kalanianaole, descendant of the Kajakaua dynasty and life-long laborer for good of his people, never entertained any doubt of their enthusiastic co-operation in his plan for their rehabilitation; but others believed that the labor Involved In the proposal, the intensive farming necessary to Its proper development, would not appeal sufficiently to the Hawaiians. Today, scarcely two years after the rehabilitation plan began its practical functioning. Its success is assured even beyond the hopes of its most enthusiastic promoters. The Hawaiian people have justified the confident hopes of their friends among the Caucasian and forever silenced the accusation sometimes leveled at them of being indolent, by laboring on the lands al-

Unde Sam’s War on Predatory Beasts

DENVER, COLO.—In Colorado it Is estimated that damage total.tng more than $200,000 to live stock alone Is Incurred annually through onslaughts on herds by wolves, bear, mountain Hons, coyotes and other predatory beasts. But trained government hunters, put Into the field by the predatory animal control division of the United States biological survey and the state board of live stock commissioners, are reducing this damage rapidly. Eighteen of these hunters working In Colorado have killed 3,000 predatory beasts during the last year, according to statistics made public by Stanley P. Young of the federal survey. The killing power of these animals varies, so that 27 Hons caused damage estimated at $40,500, while a total of 2.961 coyotes, bobcats and lynx killed stock valued at $148,050. The government estimates the damaging power of the various classes of predatory animals as follows: Predatory (distinguished from game) bears and wolves, $2,000 a head; coyotes, bobcats and lynx, ssd a head, and Hons, $1,500 a head. Os the 3.000 beasts trapped, poisoned or shot by

♦Reenter the Old-Time Family Doctor

GHICAGO.— Has It ever occurred to you that the general practitioner In medicine is no longer in our -midst? Anyway, he Isn’t and America’s need for the oldtime family doctor—the doctor who could treat anything from earache to fits—has won the attention of Northwestern university. Definite action was taken after President Walter Dill Scott bad read a survey made on this need to the members of the university’s board of trustees. The survey, which substantiated what Chicago medical leaders ‘have been saying in a general way for several years, was made by two of the most noted men in the field of medicine In the country and two educators representing the Evanston institution. The four were: Dr. Charles H. Mayo, •me of the beads of the famous clinic st Rochester, Minn.; Dr. E. P. Lyon, dean of the school pf medicine of the University of Minnesota; Prof. Raymond A. Kent, dean of the college of liberal arts, and Prof. Horace Secrist, teacher ot economics at Northwestern. Summarized, the report of these

Albany Cut-Off Benefits Rail Service

ALBANY, N. Y.—Business and Industry of the Middle West will henceforth be able to effect a saving of from three to seven days in the forwarding of freight shipments between Chicago and the North Atlantic seaboard. The completion and the throwing into service by the New York Oentral lines of a mammoth construction and improvement project, under way for the last two years, involving an expenditure of more than $25,006,000 and utilizing the entire labor throughout that period of 2JXX> men. will directly benefit shippers In Chicago, Elkhart. Cleveland. Detroit and territory adjacent to the Niagara frontier. This project involved: Construction of a double-track connecting railroad. 28 miles long, 12 miles south ot Albany, which eliminate* a series ot “bottle-neck” condition*. The main line extends from Feura Bush, on the West Shore railroad. to Stuyvesant, on the Hudson division of the New York Central, with branches to Ravenna. <m the west bank

Racing Men Build a Kentucky Church

T BXINGTON, KY.—Lexington Is I to have a church built mostly L- through contributioms ot turfmen over the country. It all cornea about through the Rev. Thomas Lever Settle, rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd. Protestant Episcopal, having supported the turf interests last winter tfelien a bill was about to be put through the Kentucky legislature to prohibit betting at race tracks. > Bev. Mr. Settle made addresses in behalf of the continuance of betting in Kentucky by the pari-mutuel system, basing bis arguments on the fact that bookmaking and bookmakers are a greater evil than the pari-mutuels. fie cited instances of his own witnessing in his native England and it was through his influence to a large degree that the bill was killed and horse raring on Kentucky tracks continues with betting through machines. Rev. Mr. Settle's church building now is sroaD. but situated tn a fitshhmable When became Kpport of thej

lotted them with a seal and a determination comparable to the efforts of a New England farmer. And the result is that where yesterday stood thorny klawe forests, scrubby growths, rocks and stubble, today lie meadows of alfalfa, producing no fess than ten crops yearly; hay, at a ton to the acre; corn, watermelons, potatoes, tomatoes, muskmelons, and, indeed, almost any and every fruit and vegetable that can be grown in any land. From alfalfa alone the yield Is from S3OO to $350 an acre, and the ha, brings from S3O to $35 a ton. And the land on which both are • grown was valued at $1 an acre five years ago, and rented at 5 cents. Cattle, bogs and poultry are also being raised with equal success. The Island of Molokai was selected for the initial experiment because fewer obstacles seemed to stand in the way of success there; and the Honolulu market is near at band. But the rehabilitation act contemplates future settlements upon Hawaii and Maul also. Preparation of more land dh Molokai is goinr on rapidly, for already more than 100 families have applied for permission to join the new colony.

federal hunters during the year, 2,100 were coyotes, 250 were lynx, 611 bobcats and 27 were mountain lions. Os the remainder, there were 4 predatory bears and 8 wolves. “One of the most important phases of this work which has recently been developing with great strides,” Young said, “Is the work of this office In several national forests. We have entered Into an agreement with the„ forest service and with persons holding permits to graze sheep, to conduct a three-year campaign in the Holy Cross, Leadville, Uncompaghre and White River national forests, and eradicate coyotes and other carnivorous animals. As usual, the stat* board is rendering us valuable as sistance.” Many ranchers In Colorado cannot profitably raise poultry or young s|ock such as pigs and calves, for the simple reason that four-legged marauders are prevalent in many ranching districts. The government moves carefully when conducting a campaign against these beasts. Evidence of stock killing must be found before bears are hunted.

four men holds that for the last two or three decades the. trend in medical study has been toward specialization. Medical schools have turned out graduates learned in the diseases of the ear. nose and throat; men who diagnose stomach His and nothing else; doctors who devote their sole attention to the lungs or abdominal surgery. Everybody who today wins an M. D. turns, it seems, toward some special form of medicine. The restrit has, been, these noted students of the problem say, that in many parts of the country there are plenty of specialists, but a dearth of all-round doctors. This Is especially marked, it is said, in rural districts. So, as President Scott told the trustees, the time has come for medical schools to bring back the old-fash-ioned doctor. The trustees agreed. In making plans for McKlnlock Memorial campus, which is to be built on Lake Shore drive by Northwestern, care will be taken that conditions are suitable for the teaching of this sort of medical man.

Hila yard has been graded for a capacity of 11,000 cars. Engineers estimate that 8,800 freight cars, which now choke the Albany gateway daily, will henceforth be diverted 12 miles south, where they will cross the new high-level bridge and effect a saving of four and one-half miles. The movement to and from th* West, reachtag Albany via the New York Central lines, averages close to 4.400 cars a day, making the total B.BOC cars a day.

terests. as they construed It. his congregation. hitherto rather modest In size, began to increase, leading turfmen and society people forming a large part of the Increase. Then a movement was started to give Rev. Mr. Settle support by building a church of the size the turfmen felt he was entitled to. it wqs made plain that the plan was not to “repay” Rev. Mr. Settle for any efforts he may have made In behalf of racing, but to show that he could have a church commensurate with his ability. Subscriptions were made promptly in Lexington and later donations be gun to come to from other parts of tlie country. Eastern turfmen hav. been especially liberal. A colt wax sold at the Saratoga auctions, the pro ceeds being placed to the credit ol the “turfmen's church”; a handsonw sum was sent recentljr from New York [ Some idea of the success of the ; movement can be seen to the fact that i architects have drawn plans for » emt $1W»O and wrk i»j

Definite Constructive National Program for the Elimination of Waste By HERBERT HOOVER, U. 8. Secretary of Commerce. A DEFINITE constructive national program hasj>een developed for the elimination of waste in our economic system. The need is plain. The American standard of living is the product of high wage) to producers and low prices to consumers. The road to national progress lies in increasing real wages through proportionately lower prices. The one and only way is to improve methods and processes eliminating waste. f Just as several years ago we undertook nation-wide conservation of natural resources, so now we must undertake nation-wide elimination of waste. Regulations and laws are of but minor effect on these fundamental things. But by well directed economic forces, by co-operation, in the community, we can not only maintain American standards of living—we can raise them. * We have the highest ingenuity and efficiency in the operation of our industry and commerce of any nation in the world. Yet our economic machine is far from perfect. Wastes are legion. There are wastes which arise from widespread unemployment during depressions, and from speculation and overproduction in booms; wastes attributable to labor turnover and labor conflicts; wastes due to intermittent and seasonal produc- ( - tion, as in the coal and construction industries; vast wastes from strictures in commerce due to inadequate transportation, such as insufficient terminals; wastes caused by excessive variations in products; wastes in materials, arising from inefficient processes; wastes by fires; and wastes in human life. Against these and other wastes the department, acting always in cooperation with the industries, has for three years developed an increasingly definite program. As these manifold activities of the department are based upon co-operation with industry and commerce, none of them leads to paternalistic ends. Five Illinois Poets the Most Violently Discussed Singers in America By MATTIE F. SIMMONDS, Illinois Wesleyan University. Five Illinois poets are the most violently discussed poets in America. These are our greatest: Harriet Monroe, the critic friend, and publisher for new poets, a poet to give something of truth and beauty to the world; Edgar Lee Masters, the realistic portrayer of homely village life; Vachel Lindsay, the artist singer of beauty and dreams, the collector of the years gone by, the years ahead jand today into significant atmosphere; Carl Sandburg, the voice of the people, of industry and labor and poverty, of lonely beauty and strength in suffering and sordidness, and Lew Sarett, the soul of the wilderness and the Indian crying out to God. In Illinois we have the heart of the country —the heart of America. The very thought on which America was founded —freedom, independence, unquestioned means of God-worship, the wrestling of a home out of new land—all that is still fresh and vigorous in Illinois. And out of that stove of history, religion and romance, our poets are today carving a new beauty. They are not bound by anyone’s ideas of what is poetical propriety. Ten Years of Federal Reserve Banking System Proof of Its Worth By ANDREW W. MELLON, U. S. Secretary of Treasury. In the ten years in which the federal reserve system has been in existence it has rendered the nation services of inestimable value. During this period the country has come safely through a great war, with its inevitable expansions and contractions in credit and the consequent strain upon our financial structure. The ease with which this was accomplished was due, in large part, to the stabilizing influence exerted by the federal reserve system. * . •' The postwar situation demands greater financial efficiency than ever if America is to protect the interests of her own people and discharge her responsibilities as one of the great financial powers of the world. In the twelve regional bunks, under the responsible co-ordinating influence of the federal reservt! board, we have a strong baking system, administered solely in the public welfare and peculiarly suited to the needs of a great self-governing country, with varying conditions in different parts of its vast territory. Such a system is one of the nation’s greatest assets. The Tireless. Efforts of Astronomers to Learn Secrets of Mars By DR. ROBERT HOPKIN, Denver Preacher. As I consider the tireless efforts which astronomers recently have made to learn the secrets of the planet Mars, I find myself coming to the conclusion that there is at least one great compensation in not knowing enything more concerning our nearest neighbor in the solar system, and that is the compensation of wonder. As long as men wonder, they have within themselves the germ and the potency of discovery and conquest Ido not want to know all the secrets of the universe around me. I do not want to know all that life has in store for me, for then every atom of its zest would flee away. We all know that many of the mysteries of our fathers’ days are mysteries no more, but with' the solving of one mystery a hundred other mysteries arise in mints around us. There is more for man to wonder at now than at any time since he began to be. Among the things at which I daily wonder are life, consciousness, the soul and man’s ever-widening vision. Freedorh Demanded by Moderfi Young Women Probably Shortening Their Lives By DR. E. L FISK. Life Extension Institute. — Enjoyment <if the freedom so vigorously demanded by modern young women is probably shortening their lives. Statistics prove that women between the ages of seventeen and thirty-two are now retarding extension of the span of life. These younj; women do not show as good a health record as thei» brothers. They must study more carefully their habits of living and must avoid such injurious indulgences as cigarette smoking, late hours, and loss of sleep; must give attention to exercise, fresh air, and properly balanced diet. „ The overconfident, self-sufficient young person who thinks she can set up her own ideals and standards and disregard the fundamental ethics iof living should have this situation plainly laid before her—a warning that the price of this freedom may be higher than she cares to pay. The proof of the pudding is the eating, and according to the mortality statistics this freedom pudding does not eat well. ““— ■ . ’ Nicholas Tbyrieh, artist-explorer.—There is throughout Asia an unrest, a longing for a renaissance, an expectation that a Messiah is coming, a determination to throw off shackles and fetters imposed by more civilized portions of the. world, and this spirit of unrest has its origin in a spiritual development : ■ -- Commander J.
