HAWAIIAN OUTLOOK.
Proportion Of Americans and Euro
peans Decreasing.

Governor Dole of the territory of
Hawaii expresses the opinion in his
annual report that unless there should
be larger immigration Of American
settlers than now seems probable, the
nEresent numerical inferiority of those
'hWho may be classed as belonging to
the Teutonic race. as compared with
the Hawaiian, Portuguese, japanese
come still greater inferiority as COM
pared with the then American citizens
of the Hawaiian, Portuguese, Japanese
and Chinese races"
This opinion il based on conditions
in the schools. The American and
European children in the schools, not
including Portuguese and Porto Ri
cans, number 1,505, an increase of only
eighteen over the previous year. while
the Hawaiian, Portuguese. Japanese
and Chinese children in the schools
numbered 1929, an increase Of GAS.
Among references in the report to
social conditions in Hawaii, are the
following:
There are many marriages between
Hawaiian women and white men and
a few between Hawaiian women and
Cinnamon. The offspring of both clas-
ses of marriages are an improvement,
as a rule, on the pure Hawaiian, in
business enterprise.
"The Portuguese generally inter-
marry among themselves. The same
is true with the Japanese.
"The part Hawaiiars as a class are
increasing and the rate of decrease of
the pure Hawaiian seems to be a
diminishing one."

and from the same class. The two
young men then went into business
together and determined to become
captains of industry, but fate in the
shape Of the Chicago climate deter
mined otherwise, so Harley went
West to purer air. and Ned remained
behind to flirt with fortune.
Thanksgiving had always been their
particular day; they never missed
one; it was their red letter day,

Fate again interfered as we shall see

hand and gripping his friends in

Ned performed his part of the

to use tea or coffee. Finally l de-

very soon its beneficial effects con-

"My husband had been drinking cof-

his nerves terribly. l persuaded him
to shift to Postum and it was easy to
get him to make the change for the
Postum is so delicious. 1t certainly
worked wonders for him.
I'VE soon learned that Postum does
not eXhilarate or depress and does
not stimulate, but steadily and hon
estly strengthens the nerves and the

our entire family have now used Pos
tum for eight years with completely
satisfying results as shown in our

noticed rather unexpected improve

XASELINE.

Everybody knows the great value Of this
remedy in tho household, but everybody
does not know that the limitations of it,
which some second class druggists dishon-
orably palm off on their customers, have
little or no value. What should be under
stood by the public is, that it is not nero
question Of comparative value between
"Vaseline" and the limitations, but that tho
limitations do not effect the wonderful heal
ing results of the world renowned 'Vase-
line," and that they are not the same thing
nor made in the same way. Besides this,
many of the limitations are harmful, irri-
tant and not safe to use, while true Vase
line is perfectly harmless.
Perfect safety therefore lies in buying

and they accordingly took the train
they expected would carry them to
Chicago. Arriving at Omaha, Smith
pere was confronted with an annoy
ance in the form Of clean-limbed,
athletic young man who boarded the
train, and seemed inclined to take
possession OF Marina as his own prop
erty. What was agg:avating was the
fact that Marina not only did not OBJ
iect to the attentions Of the stranger,
but encouraged them.
The cause of this attraction between
the fresh young man and Marina was
this: About a year previous, the
young girl was visiting some friends
in the city of Denver, and being unac
customed to the hurry and hustle OF
that bounding city. got in the way of
one of the Stout street "electrics,"

vigorous youth hurled himself directly
at her, and gathering her up in his
arms, t>e impetus of his rush carry
ing both out of danger in the nick Of
tine.
She had often thought of the young
man, who was entirely unknown to
her, and who disappeared before she
could express her gratitude, and his
face was impressed upon her mind,
nerhaps upon her heart, for she some
times fancied that while carrying her
to safety, he had squeezed her just
a trifle mere than wa. customary
without a previous introduction. But
as he had saved her life. she could
not censure him for that, moreover
it afforded her pleasant sensation
whenever she thought of it. She had
not seen him since his brave act, but
he was ever in her thoughts. being
romanticallv inclined at her age. She
happened to be thinking of him when
he entered the car, and the recogni-
ton was mutual. and from their earn
est talk, she all bushes and he all
smiles, it looked squally for the
SmithJones agreement.
Smith did not interfere, because he
did not know what he ought to do, so
he waited hoping something would
occur to cause a diversion. By wait
ing long enough something generally
does happen. though not always in
the way expected, and in the present
case there happened an event which
brought the destiDies of all concerned
to a sudden focus
The Smith family were scattered
about the car, all but the young man
and Marina. They were close enough
together. but the father watched thea
out of the corners of his eyes, re-
solved to put a stop to it should they
go SO far as to hold hands.
Suddenly. without the slightest
warming. and when the car was run
