were called to attention.

AUTONOMY WOULD
BE BAD FOR NATIVES

The native Hawaiians don't know a
good thing when they have it. They
are going to petition congress to re-
store the islands their former ind.-
pendence.
The funny thing about the decision is
that the natives have more home rule
| now than they have had since the
native dynasty was deposed by revo-
luton. Under the Independent govern
ment that existed between that time
and annexation the native didn't count
very much or very often in govern
mental affairs. The English-speakin
people of the islands, English and
American, ran things to suit them
selves. Annexation. by enfranchising
the natives, gave them more power as
body than they had under the Dole
government and more power as in
dividuals than they had under their
queen. But taste of popular sover-
eighty has made their heads swim.
They now fooishly ask for a severance
of the relation that has given them
such unwonted power in their own
land. They do not seem to realize that
II independence We're restored to Ha-
wall tomorrow, the natives would be
kicked out of power the day after by
the people of the dominant race.
Independence Is a good thing, but the
United States is not in the business of
creating independent states for the
benefit OF oligarchies in Hawaii or of
dictators in the Philippines.
Hawaii is in no sense nation. The
are only third of the pop
ulation or less. The clannsh Japanese
and Chinese have no Hawaiian patriot
ism. The dominant people OF the ISL
ands are warmly attached to the
American connection. The native Ha-
wailans will save themselves a good
ieal of trouble during the remaining
years of their decrease and degenern-
ion II they will stop finding fault with
he only form of government possible
or them In which they will have any !

thoroughly at home in his lecture.

The Average Man.

The factor which is overlooked by
those who fear the ascendency of any
quixotic notion is the existence of the
average man. This individual is not a
striking personality, but he holds the
balance of power Before any extrava-
CANT idea can establish itself it must
convert the average man. He is very
susceptible and takes suggestion so
readily that it seems to prophesy the
complete overthrow of the existing or
der of things. But was ever a CONVEX
sion absolute? The best theologians
say. no. A great deal of the old Adam
is always left over. When the average
man takes up with quixotic notion,
only so much Of it Is practically
wrought out as he is able to compre-
bend. The old Adam of common sense
continually asserts itself. The natural
corrective Of quiXotism is Sancho Pan
zaism. The solemn knight, with his
head full of visionary plans, is follow
ed by squire who is as faithful as
his nature will permit. Sancho has no
theories and makes no demands on the
world He leaves that sort of thing to
his master. He has the fatalism which
belongs to ignorant good nature and
the tolerance which is found in easy
going persons who have neither ideals
nor nerves. He has no illusions, though
he has all the credulity of ignorance

supposed, at Orchard Wyndhams, the
family seat in Somersetshire, and was
buried in vault beneath the Church
Of st. Decuman's, near Watchet The
sexton went down into the vault at
night, opened the coffin and endeav-

Lady Catherine awoke from her trance,

behind in the vault when he fed in
terror. A few months afterward she
presented her husband with twins, one

How to Prevent Group.

1t will be good news to mothers of
small children to learn. that Group can
be prevented. The first sign of Group
is hoarseness. "A day or two before
the attack the child becomes hoarse.
This is soon followed by q peculiar
rough cough. Give Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy freely as soon as the
child becomes hoarse, or even after
the rough cough appears, and 1T will
dispel all symptoms of Group. In this
way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by many
thousands of mothers and has never
been known to fail. 1t is, in fact, the
only remedy that can always be de-
pended upon and that is pleasant and
safe to take. For sale by Nick Dof-

Mr.. Firth. Portrait Of Dickens.

1t was early in the fifties that John
Forster asked me to paint portrait Of
Dickens for him. l gladly consented
and was about to propose a day for the
fsss sitting when Forster stopped me
by mentioning what he called most
unfortunate propensity which Dickens
had developed-he was actually grow
ing mustache! "'Tis just fancy Of
the moment" said Forster, land we
must wait till the craze has passed
away" A very few months convinced
us that the mustache, so far from pass
ing away, was rapidly growing into
what threatened to be formidable
beard. so, unless one-half Of the face
was to be lost to us, no more time
should be lost. My idea was to paint
him in his working clothes, but when
found that he always wore light
bright blue silk coat with big red cuffs
every morning when he took pen in
hand l demonstrated so successfully
that after little hesitation he con-
sented to wear the black jacket in
which he now appears at South Ken
sington.-W. T. Firth, r. A.. in King,

Audubon and His Hair.

Audubon, the great naturalist, early
in his career Wore his hair very long.
He wrote i'll his diary one day: 81
wear my hair as long as usual I be-
lieve it does as much for me as my
paintings" However, in 1927 his
friends succeeded in persuading him
to get his hair cut according to the pre-
vailing fashion. On March 10 of that
year he wrote in his diary: ''This day
my hair sacrificed and the will of God
usurped by the wishes of man. AS the
barber clipped my locks rapidly it re-
minded me of the horrible times Of
the French revolution when the same
operation was performed upon al! the
victims murdered by the guillotine. My
heart sank low" Further to express
his grief the margin of the page on
which this entry was made he painted
black about three-quarters of an inch
deep all around.

Cast Iron

By altering the rate Of cooling the
strength of ion can be greatly changed,
and the test bars are often run sepa-
rately from the casting and cooled
quicker, so that they usually have
greater strength, sometimes more than
twice as much. Separately cast test
bars are always stronger than those
cast on the castings itself, and Of the
latter the one nearest the heaviest part
of the casting is always the weakest.
The remedy, as above indicated, is
simple when the false witness has
once been pointed out.

An Apt Headline.

An English weekly, speaking Of head
lines, tells of an excellent one which
appeared over story of the Pigott
forgery. In that case one Of the de-
vices by which Sir Charles Russell
brought the unfortunate forger to bay
was by getting him to write the word
'hesitancy." In the forged letter the
word was misspelled "hesitency." The
day the flight of Pigott was announced
an editor suggested the headline, "The
Man Who 'Hesitetes' Is Lost" and it
was so excellent that it was immedi.
ately put in type.
