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
present numerical inferiority Of those
who 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 is based on conditions
in the schools. The American and
European children in the schools, not
including Portuguese and Porto Ri
cans, number 1906. 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 945.
Among references in the report to
social conditions in Hawaii, are the
following:
There are many marriages between
Hawaiian women and white men and
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.

increasing and the rate of decrease Of
the pure Hawaiian seems to be Z

THE VALUE OF BIRDS
CATS THEIR WORST ENEMIES

Thousands Of Species Created for Our
senefit-Types Of Bliss and Sym.
bols Of Liberty-Greeks Called
Them Lords Of the Air-our Imagi-
nation Gives Their Wings to Angels.
Some 10000 species of birds have been
created for mans benefit. Carbon
would propagate disease without yul-
lures and ravens; owls, buzzards and
other hawks prey upon noisome rodents
and venomous reptiles; but of all
tribes the insectivores are the most
numerous, their services the most val
liable. Vermin would destroy the
grain in the West. the cotton in the
South and the fruit wherever it grows
II birds were not near to defend them
until they ripen. Examinations made
by scientists of the digestive organs of
many varieties of birds have demon
strated that they chiefly feed upon in
sects; they also show the kind of in
sects that each species prefers. Their
subtle senses are directed by almost
human intelligence, and they are apt to
select of all the food within their
reach what is best adapted for them and
for their offspring. and what would in
lure by its presence If they did not de-
stroy It,
Aside from the debt of gratitude we
owe for their usefulness. birds claim
our affection by the charm of their
presence. They are types of joyful bliss
and symbols of absolute liberty. Where
the color of their plumage Is added to
the harmony Of their voices and the
grace Of their motion, they will turn
barren wilderness into perfect para
disc. Many heart would sink were
songsters not nigh with sweet melody
to raise It. The ancient Greeks called
birds lords of the air." Syrians built
affairs for their worship; Romans had
such an exalted opinion of their sagac-
ity that they augured the fortune of
distant lepions by the manner of their
flight. Birds graceful wings were APP
piled to the shoulders of favorite gods.
and we continue to borrow them for the
angels of our own imagination, but we
lay no obstacles in the way Of divers
enemies that prosecute them.
The fiercest of them all, the domestic
cat. we permit in our garden and Or
chard to prowl and to make the artless
bird his prey before he has time to fly.
Instead of checking we countenance
the enormous natural increase OF cats.
until 1t is estimated that 100000 of
them annually kill some 20,00O,00O of
birds. A license fee is exacted for
keeping n watchful dog; why should

VAS EllNE.

Everybody knows the great value OF this
remedy In tho household, but everybody
does not know that the limitations of IL,
which some second class druggists dishon-
orably palm OF 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 "Vasc-
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
