A GOOD WAY To
KILL BASEBALL
Fighting on Grounds Can Have
Little to Commend 1t
TO Public.

The exhibitions which have been re-
Gently made on the ball grounds Of
this city by Bill Hampton and Eddie
Fernandez viii do much TO spoil base
hall The stories Of throwing soda
water bottles at the umpires and Of
other rufianly conduct do not help the
game, either. IF the baseball diamonds
of this city are to be made into place
where any player or umpire may take
the law into his own hands in reply
70 a few joshing remarks, il would
be much better that they went out
Of existence.
II adds to the interest Of every game
TO have hard and bright coaching by
the spectators and also by the play
ers. Many things are said in this line
Of Jest which hurt at the time, but
for a player or umpire to lose his
head so far that he assaults anyone
on the grounds. shows that he has lit
tie selfcontrol or care for himself, es-
peciaIly when there are ladies on the
grounds.
This is by no means to be taken as
a defence for insults 10 which a player
or an umpire may be subjected. The
stopping Of this sort of thing is in
the hands of those in charge of the
grounds, but the ordinary joshing re-
marks, which are heard every day at
the ball games, are as good as the
game itself. and in some cases, as last
Saturday, even better.
A man who fights in a public place.
such as baseball grounds, must real
ize that he debases himself in doing
so. The man who insults another under
the same circumstances has debased
himself already.

CHANGE Of PLAN
FOR CRATER ROAD
May Follow Trail Around HiIo
Side Instead of kau
Side.

jack Atkinson 5 plan for an automo-
bile road down to Halemaumau, may
be considerably changed. Considera-
ton IS now being given 10 the proposed
changes.
As Atkinson planned it, the road was
10 leave the main road from the Vol
cano House TO Kau, at q point on the
kau side Of the crater Of KiIauea. and
continuing down on that side reach the
floor of the crater at a point almost
directly opposite where the present
trail into the crater from the Volcano
House reaches it.
The new plan Is to leave the main
Volcano road not far from the Volcano
House and following in general way
the trail TO Kilauea-iki, keeping on
the HiIo side Of the crater, around
Kilaueaiki, and makai OF the crater,
following the ancient HiIo-Kau trail
and entering the floor of the crater at
about the same point where atkinson
planned should be done, but from the
opposite direction.
1t is believed that a better grade
and q less difficult location viii be
found. Otherwise, about the only diff
ference will be that by Atkinson : plan
the new road will be located on Gov
eminent land and by the other plan
it viii be located on Bishop Estate
property.

the road could be built at comparatively

OLD CANNON CAN'T BE BROKEN.
Armament Of Old Craft Was Made to
last.

A good story is being told at the
Mare Island navy yard concerning q
San Francisco contractor who bought
all the old obsolete cannon which were
sold at the local yard some time ago.
The cannon we're all of the smooth
bore kind, and In order that they
might be easily handled for shipment
to the city all sorts of schemes were
tried to endeavor to break them with
dynamite and blasting powder, but
they were unsuccessful.
An electric drill machine was even
set up at the yards and the cannon
were drilled full of holes In order to
weaken them for breaking open with
wedges, but this was also unsuccess-
full. The cannon were then taken
away and the last heard of them they
were corralled in the hills near Point
Richmond, where an effort was being
made to break them open with dyna-
mite again.
The cannon which proved to be so
strong were among the armament of
the war craft which sailed the seas

products of the coast Of Labrador,
formed from the ice fields that had

come from further north in the vicin-

come from still further north, and

Customs That Now Seem Peculiar Had
Origin in Wisdom.
If you are patient enough to ferret
it out you will find that there is q rea-
son for every little idiosyncrasy we
have, for every queer thing we do.
Take, for example. the wearing of
widows caps. Why do widows cover
their heads with these curious little
arrangements of maline, crepe and
lace? 1t is custom handed down to
US from the Romans, who shaved their
heads when they mourned the loss of
dear one. This idea was all right
for men who did not mind appearing
without single spear of hair on their
heads, but of course 1t was most un-
attractive for women. No one, not
even a Roman matron, liked to be
seen bald-headed, so the women of
the Tiber devised little cap to hide
their badness, and thus the custom
has come down to us, even though
heads are no longer shaved as a sign
OF mourning.
The reason that bells are tolled for
the dead Is that years ago, when toll
ing was first established, the people
thought that the sound OF the bells
frightened away evil spirits who how
cred near the dead.
Why do men, and women, too, wear
bows on the left side of their hats?
The reason is simple enough. When
the head covering built upon the order
OF hats of to-day was first introduced
1t was ornamented with ribbon which
went around the crown and hung down
In two ends on the left side, reaching
below the shoulder These ends were
a sort Of anchor, or safety line, and
were put there expressly to be seized
when sudden gust OF wind threaten
ed to blow the hat away. The ribbons
were put on the left side because. as a
general thing, the left hand was more
apt to be free than the right. Eveutu-
ally these ribbons wero .knotted In
fetching bow with flowing ends, and
then they were cut of quite close to
the hat, so that they form very
small and stif bow knot.
1t is always the custom to throw old
shoes after a bride and this queer
custom came into vogue when parents
were in the habit CT using their. slip
pers to keep their girls obedient and
good. Now the slipper Il not really
intended for the bride. but for the
bridegroom, who is supposed to use
it for the same purpose the mother
and father of olden times did.
