The Pulitzer prize for novelty in window trimming should go to the Kansas drugstore proprietor who purchased as an antique an old sofa from a home where

seven

daughters had been reared and courted. He took it apart and put in his window all the articles found in this way. They were 47 hairpins, 3 mustache combs, 46 buttons, 13 needles, 8 cigarettes, 5 photographs, 217 pins, 6 pocket-knives, 15 poker chips, 34 lumps of chewing-gum, 9 quill toothpicks, 4 buttonhooks, several grains of coffee, and a vial of headache tablets. By putting a card in the window that told the story this ingenious druggist attracted crowds that blocked the sidewalks.

Daily newspapers throughout the country are facing what seems to be an unsolvable problem. If they list each day in the radio programs the names of all the features (Happiness Candy Boys, Shinola Merrymakers, Ipana Troubadours, Silvertown Chord Orchestra, etc.), they are giving free advertising to these concerns. However, if they do not print the full descriptive program their readers are in constant complaint.

MORE WISDOM

("The teeth should not be brushed across or up and down both ways, as is usually done."-Another health hint, from a lecture this week in London.)

My child, if you would shine to-day,
Attend with care to what I say.

The modern rule for health and bliss
May briefly be described as this:
Whatever you have ever done
Assume that it is wrong, my son;
Whatever you have done before
You must not do it any more.
Don't brush your teeth across or down,
Or up; it makes the expert frown.
(To keep them fit as any fiddle,
Brush back and part them in the middle.)
Rich foods internal ills provoke;
Lunch lightly off some well-boiled coke.

Avoid the soap-and-water trick;
Just scrub yourself with powdered brick.
An upright posture strains the head;
Try walking on the hands instead.
When influenza reappears
Try breathing deeply through the ears.
Thus every day and every way
Give modern methods fuller play.

Try writing letters with your toes
And hearing through your eyes and nose.
But, more important far than that,
Oh, keep on talking through your hat!
-Lucio, in the "Manchester Guardian."

HE story is going the rounds to the effect that a certain automobile owner installed a new-fangled carbureter that was guaranteed to save twenty per cent in gas. He then bought special spark plugs that were guaranteed to save twenty per cent of the same precious fluid, and an intake superheater that was guaranteed to save another twenty per cent. He next put in a patented rear axle with a guaranty of a twenty per cent saving, and retired with

a

new brand of tires that promised a twenty per cent saving in gas consumption. Finally, he drained his crank case and refilled it with a new oil guaranteed to increase his mileage twenty per cent. Now, with a fuel economy of one hundred and twenty per cent, the owner has to stop every hundred miles and bail out the gas tank to keep it from running over.

"Our Board of Education insists upon the right to bar Civil Liberties speakers from the public schools and Mr. Norman Thomas is not allowed to broadcast his views at WEAF or WMCA.

An old maid who lived in a London suburb was shocked at the language used by the men repairing the telephone wires near her house.

She wrote to the company about it, and the foreman was asked to report.

Lord Aberdeen, in his book "Tell Me Another," has a story about a celebrated lawyer named Curran. During the proceedings of a court on circuit in the country on a summer day the windows were wide open. While Curran was addressing the court a donkey in an adjoining field brayed loudly. The judge, interrupting, said: "Excuse me, Mr. Curran, one at a time, please." Curran bowed acquiescence, then proceeded with his address. Later, when the judge was delivering his charge to the jury, the donkey brayed again; on which Curran arose, and said: "I'm sorry, your Honor, but there

seems to be such an echo that I can scarcely make out what you are saying."

"Good-by," said the little boy, "and I have had a very good time, thank you." "You don't say so!" replies his host playfully.

Hawaii's Only President

G

UNS were booming in one of the greatest harbors of the world. They were American naval guns. The day was July 4, 1894. Thus saluted, a new republic was ushered into the world. The dusky dethroned Queen wrote later in her memoirs, "Hawaii's Story," that America's Independence Day was chosen to institute the new Government "in order to have some guns fired at its adoption." The only President of that Republic died in Honolulu on June 9, 1926.

To many mature American voters the time when Hawaii was an independent sovereign nation seems long ago. Hawaii is now so firmly a part of the United States that the story of its kings and queens, of its revolutions, and of its successive Constitutions seems like quaint ancient history. Yet Sanford Ballard Dole, who was living until this month, was not a young man when he was President, for he had passed his fiftieth year.

To him as much as to any one else the people of the United States owe their Territory in the Pacific. No nation was ever more reluctant to assume new responsibility than the United States was to annex what was then commonly known as the Sandwich Islands. Peopled by a kindly race, governed by a despotism tempered with an easy-going good nature, these islands became a meeting-place for migration from both East and West. The old opéra bouffe monarchy proved quite unequal to the new conditions. It was the descendants of the early missionaries who brought about changes in the government that at first kept the monarchy nominally intact. Queen Liliuokalani, the last of the line of monarchs, having been forced to accept a Constitution that deprived her of the power she craved, fatuously tried to restore the despotism of an earlier day which, however it might have served the artless semi-savage people of a simpler era, had become corrupt and debased. Under Mr. Dole a Provisional Government was set up. The Queen complained that this was done under interference by American forces, landed to protect American lives and property. With the best of intentions but without his cus

June 23, 1926

tomary good judgment, President Cleveland, advised by the commissioner he had sent to the islands, James H. Blount, called upon Provisional President Dole to restore the Government to the deposed Queen. Mr. Dole respectfully but firmly declined. The fact is the United States had no right either in law or by

conquest to interfere with the internal affairs of Hawaii. This President Cleveland virtually acknowledged later. Of course during the Cleveland Administration there was no possibility of carrying out a policy of annexation; but with the accession of McKinley to the Presidency the question of annexation was revived. During all this period President Dole was active in developing sentiment for that policy. Finally, during the war with Spain, a treaty was ratified and in August, 1898, the Hawaiian Islands came under the American flag.

Mr. Dole's conduct during all this time was such as to entitle him to respect and honor from Americans as well as from the people of Hawaii. In his earlier years he was a member of the Hawaiian Legislature under the monarchy, and at the outbreak of the revolution which led to the establishment of the Provisional Government he was a judge of the islands' Supreme Court. When Hawaii became American territory, Mr. Dole was appointed by President McKinley its first Governor. His place in the history of the western expansion of the United States is firmly established.

Plenty of Tongue but No Teeth
THE

HE Volstead Law has been in the dentist's chair for several months past, but has not one tooth more or one tooth less. Part of the members of the clinic, with a bent for specialization in extraction, are for leaving it toothless and have tugged and pulled, valiantly if vainly. Others have tinkered up a set of new teeth to be inserted in the gaps, but not one has gone in or has any prospect of going in. In short, the wets have accomplished nothing toward weakening the law and the drys have accomplished exactly the same toward strengthening it.

The Goff Bill, commonly characterized as a measure to put more teeth into the Volstead Law, appears to have been definitely side-tracked by the Senate so far as this session is concerned. The Judiciary Committee of the House reported it favorably, after striking out some of the sharpest incisors, notably the provisions for search of homes on evidence of possession of alcoholic drink for sale, seizure of vessels beyond the
