MIDSUMMER SOCIAL
A GREAT SUCCESS

The Midsummer Social given last
night in the Y. NJ. C. A. hail was even
greater success than those who had
planned it had anticipated. The seat
ing capacity of the big auditorium was
taxed to the utmost to accommodate
the guests, who one and all entered
into the spirit of the occasion, making
it social in all that the word implies.
The early part of the evening was
devoted to the excellent program ar
ranged the various numbers of which,
more especially those of an athletic
nature, very heartily applauded. AT
the conclusion of the program refresh
ments were served and the affair re-
solved itself into a mutual entertaIn-
free to take a part and make ac-
quaintances.
The formal program of the evening
was:
Solo-Stanley Livingston.
Pyramid Building-By the Diamond
Head Athletic Club.
Solo-R c. Brown
Incandescent Club Swinging-By T.
c. Anterior.

"Put me in my little cell,
Rock me off to sleep"

That is the way the big performance
Livingston next month is to start and
after the start it is the same way until
the finish. Fun? Why there will be
more laughs to the minutes than ever
public. A thousand minute-why
there will be SO many that you won't
have time for two smiles during the
entire evening. 1t will be one grand
rises until it goes down with the last
man out.
The first half of the show is to be
something new for the public to en-
joy. The scene is laid in Oahu prison
where although there are bars all
around there is never a schooner in
sight-Hasty Howland's is to be the
Warden and it is said that he can do
it right. He says that restraining men
is nothing compared with restraining
water in the Nuuanu Valley.
1t is said that he will try and explain
why he couldn't get his clearance pa
pers for China Bob has a secret too
he goes around laughing all of the
time at some joke which he says he
will spring on the public when the
proper time comes. He says that it is
new and he ought to know for he has
all of the old ones nailed.
Then there will be Jimmie Dougherty
with little song that is all his own.
1t may have something to do with the
ladies but Jimmie won't tell.
Who ever knew of Guy not having
his share of the joke cracking? He will
be into every move that is made. 1t
is impossible to keep Guy still for even
six minutes. He says he has a griev-
ance to tell to the adoring public and
he swears that he will tell it. It is
rumored that it has something to do
with politics.
The chorus will be there with fifty
trained voices to help out the singers
when their voices get weak. 1t will
be one grand medley of music and
laughs during the entire evening. With
Welsh, Walter Doyle, Hugo Herzer,
and a score of others the evening is
bound to be a success.
The second half of the performance
will be in the nature of high class
vaudeville. Everything is to be right
up to the notch.
The performance will take place on
Thursday and Saturday evenings, Au-
gust 9 and IL. The box Office will open
August 6, at Wall. Nichols Co.

Little Prince OIaf's Land.

The story of the Sunbeam Island,
which an English lady, Miss Ada Mus
grove, has presented to the little
Crown Prince Olaf of Norway. is one
of curious interest.
Sunbeam Island, or Forth Bras,
as it is now going to be called, is
about 10000 square yards in size,
and is situated in the lovely Godo
Sound, a famous summer resort three
hours sail from Bergen. About fif-
teen years ago Mr.. John Musgrove,
an Englishman, spent the summer at
Godo Sound and bought the island,
which was then a complete wilder
ness. He imported new turf mould
and worked hard until the island
had a wood of about $4,000 trees.
He also built a comfortable roomy
house and a small water works. The;
garden of the house is beautifully ar
ranged with small ponds and green's
Mr.. Musgrove lived with rela-
tive on this fairy island, the views
from which are so impressive and ro-
mantle, until a few years ago, when
he presented the property to Miss
Ada Musgrove. Miss Musgrove wrote
to Queen Maud and asked her per-
mission to give the island to her son,
and on their Majesties' visit to Ber-
gen the necessary documents, as well
as a series of pictures of the island
photographed by Miss Musgrove her.

What the World Eats.

Alexander Filippini, the author OF
"The International Cook Book" who
made a trip around the world to
get the new dishes described in it,
recently made some interesting obser-
vations on the hotels and markets of
different countries. Among other
things he said
in London | found marked inn
pTovement in the hotels and restau-
rants. Swiss and French chefs are
employed, but the American cook can
still learn from the English the trick
of cooking meats on a spit or grill
before the patrons eyes. In France
and Switzerland found the very best
and freshest foundations in the way
of meats and vegetables. In Switzer-
kets are exquisite, every article
daintlly cleansed and tied with the
national colors. These markets put
to shame the vegetable stands of New
York, heavy with the sweepings of
nearby halls and the street, while
the vegetables themselves are kept
by night in unventilated cellars. This
destroys the SAVIOR Of fruit and vege.
tables. In Germany found many fine
dishes, but too rich for the American
taste. In Russia the fish trade is par
ticularly pleasing, and in many cafes
large tanks are stocked with fish, the
patrons choosing from the live stock"

The Rabbit in Politics.

If there Is any rabbit blood in a
mans system, politics will cause 1t to
circulate. l know l would be Just as
big rabbit as any one else If were
a candidate. The man who is a rag
ing lion in the business world, who is
not even afraid of his wife, becomes
as meek and timid as a cottontail
when he is a candidate for office
There Is something in the political
germ that lets all the iron out of a
mans blood. That is one of the rea.
sons do not like politics.
Being a rabbit myself in all things,
can't help admiring the lion. You
read about lions in books, but in
everyday life they are ALFRED scarce
Here is funny thing about the rab>
bit. He thinks he is doing things
up about right and that people are
not onto him. Every rabbit has a
mark on him that can be seen two
miles. The fellows listen to his
story and then laugh behind his bach
about his being scared"
But somehow or other, about as
many rabbits land as lions. Now a
lot of rabbits are going to read this
and say, That's right" The rabbit
is also blind.-Osborne (Kan.)

Hudson Bay Company, and it has a
capacity Of thirty-five barrels a day.
It's flour product is chiefly used for

orIaln Of Ascot Races,

When did Ascot races begin? They
are mentioned in the first Racing
Calendar" published in 1927, and the
usual statement is that they were
founded by the Duke of Cumberland,
uncle of George III. But an entry in
the accounts Of the Master Of the
Horse in 1872 suggests that they were
founded by Queen Anne on Aug. 8,
I'LL. The truth, no doubt, is that
Ascot races, like many other august
institutions, gradually developed from
germ, so that it is difficult to say
when they really began. At any rate,
they were quite the sort Of thing that
enthusiast of the turf, Queen Anne,
would have founded. She was a thor
ough Stuart in this passion. 1t was
her great-grandfather James l., who
encouraged, If he did not establish,
horse racing in Scotland, and popular
lied it in England.-London Chronicle.

THE CRYING SHELLS OF cgYLoN,
The Sounds They Mako Like the
Notes Of an AeoIIan Harp.

Notes Of an AeolIan Harp.
Sir J. Emerson Tennent, having
heard a story about musical sounds
Issuing from the lake at Batticalea,
in Ceylon, paid a visit to the place,
The fishermen told him that the
sounds, which resembled the faint
sect nots of an Aeolan harp were
heard only at night and during the
dry season, were most distinct when
the moon was nearest the full and
proceeded, they believed, not from a
fish, but from a shell called the cry
ing she'll"
I'm the evening" says Tennent,
when the moon rose, took a boat
and accompanied the fishermen to
the spot, We rowed about 200 yards
northeast OF the jetty by the fort
gate; there was not breath of wind
or ripple except those caused by
the dip Of our oars. On coming to
the point mentioned | distinctly heard
the sounds in question, They came
up from the water like the gentle
thrills OF musical chord, or the faint
vibrations of a wlne-glass when its
rim is rubbed by moistened finger,
II was not one sustained note, but a
multitude of tiny sounds, each clear
and distinct in Itself; the sweetest
treble mingling with the lowest bass.
ION applying the ear to the wood
work of the boat the vibration was
greatly increased in volume. The
sounds varied considerably at differ
ent points as we moved across the
lake, as II the number OF the animals
from which they proceeded was great
est in particular spots, and occasion
allv we rnwad ont ~ hearing of them
altogether until on returning 10 the
original locality the sounds were at
once renewed. This fact seems to
indicate that the causes OF the
sounds, whatever they may be, are
stationary at several points, and this
agrees with the statement Of the ma
tives that they are produced by mol
lusca and not by fish.
"They came evidently and sensibly
from the depth OF the lake, and there
was nothing in the surrounding cir
cumstances to support the conjec-
ture that they could be the reverber-
alton of noises made by insects on
the shore conveyed along the sur
face of the wateg, for they were loud
est and most distinct at points where
the nature of the land and the inter-
vention of the fort and its buildings
forbade the possibility of this kind Of
conduction. chamber Journal.

Conquering the Colorado.

The first of the great American
rivers to be completely held in bond
age by a dam will be the Colorado.
The Lagura dam, twelve miles above
Yuma, Ariz., will be completed by
the Government in two years. 1t
will he 1890 feet long, and will be
secured at the ends in the mountains
which compress the Colorado at that
point into this narrow width. Ihe
dam will consist of three massive
concrete parallel walls, the spaces
filled with stones and the whole
width of the dam on top 244 feet.
This great barrier will weigh 100000
tons, and although it will not rest
upon rock, its weight will be such
that not even the Colorado will be
able to dislodge it. In To- water
the dam will back the river up and
afford irrigation for 100000 acres
Of rich bottom land, and in flood time
the Colorado will thunder over the
