NOT WHAT THEY SEEM.
Knife Handles Made of Milk and
straw Hats Of Paper.

The white handles of those table knives
you bought recently are not made Of
ivory, but of "A composition consisting
largely of sour milk. The deception Is per-
fectly honest. for the price you paid
would not have bought genuine handles
of any more aluable substance than bone,
and the composition looks better and
cleaner, and is more pleasant to use.
The keys of your piano are probably
made from this same milk stone" and
why should you grumble? They will
keep their color better than ivory, and
you will have the satisfaction of knowing
that your grand or your cottage piano
has not required the slaughter Of an ele-
plant in its manufacture.
Then, again, your summer hat, par
ticularly if you are a lady. may not have
a particle of straw in Its composition. II
you bought it at bargain prices, 1t is prob
ably made of strips OF thick paper, dyed
the right shade of yellow.
The imitation will collapse with a
shower, but the best straw also would
lose It's luster under these conditions, and
the deception enabled the manufactured
to meet your needs 10 regard to price.

The President has it in his power to strange their infamous
scheme by putting the treasury surplus Immediately within the
reach of the manufacturers of the country, so far a the law
will permit. If he understood the exact situation in the various
industrial communities of the country it is safe to say that he
would not hesitate for a moment He has but to make inquiry
of those who keep in touch with the great manufacturing centres
of the country to learn how acute the money shortage has
become. Firms and companies having assets worth from FIVE to
ten times the amount of their liabilities have found it next to
impossible to borrow the necessary funds to keep their plants
going. and the stoppage of az few of them would be likely to
produce that scary feeling which is the forerunner of a panic.
Releasing Treasury funds Immediately would save the day beyond
the possibility of failure and destroy the plot of the "rich
maefactors"

KeynOtes.
Do you near the merry Ginning
That is gladdening the air,
AS Il mockingbirds were climbing
Through the timber everywhere?
There is melody Astounding
Through the forest ard the plain,
For most everywhere they's sounding
Keynotes for the big campaign.
Still increasing, trembling lightly,
Comes the music that we prize.
Sometimes they make the discord slightly
Though they often harmonic.
And a gaiety astounding
Seems to course through every vein
AS we listen while they's sounding
Keynotes for the big campaign.

If Wall Street only were concerned it would be right and
proper for the Administration to refuse the slightest aid. The
there have done their best to create a panic.
Taking advantage of the financial stnngency prevalent every
where, they have PUT on the screws here to accentuate condi-
ditons with the deliberate intention Of closing factories and
mills and thus bringing about widespread distress in the hope
of starting a popular c1anior> against Roosevelt. Those fnan-
ciers and manipuiators realize that the masses of the people are be-
hind the President in his crusade for honesty and square-deaing
in corporate management and they planned a panic as the only
sure means of bringing the people to their senses" They feel
quite certain that id1eness and empty dinners would quickly
dissipate the popular enthusiasm for Roosevelt.

Prospect
Of Extra
Session
LEGISLATURE HAS WORK pref
TY WE'LL IN HAND AND SEEMS
NO REASON FOR EXTRA SESSION

The indications seem to be now that
there will be no extra session of the
Legislature. Governor Carter intimat-
ed some time ago that there might be
occasion for him to call a special ses-
sion of the legislature to take up mat
ters pertaining to immigration. But
there now seems to be no occasion for
such session. The various appropria-
ton measures are well in hand and as
there is a disposition on the part Of
the members Of both branches Of the
legislature to cooperate with the pre-
siding officers to expedite business, it
is almost certain that the work of the
legislature will be completed within
the remaining ten days and a half.
Tomorrow is the fifty-6rst day and the
legislature passes under the control Of
the Governor, as he can then exercise
the pocket veto on any measure dis
tasteful to him.
The pocket veto time dates from to-
morrow This fact was the cause for
the prompt action OF the Senate this
morning rushing the municipal bill
through to the Governor. The measure
viii have to be returned either approx
ed or vetoed by the last day OF the
session, and this will give the support
ers of the measure time in which to
rush 1t through over his veto. The sup
porters of the Municipal bill feel GER
tain that they have ample strength to
override the Governors veto on the
mRa SIRE.

HARBOR
CLAIMS
ANOTHER
VICTIM

The dead body of William White was
found floating in the harbor at $3.50
o'clock this morning by Peter Baron.
White was a carpenter, over 90 years
of age, resident of the Popular House
on upper Fort street, bachelor with
out relatives here, Mason and mem
Der of the Scottish Thistle Club. He
was not a drinking man, had no
enemies and none of his many friends
will listen to any suggestion of possible
suicide. He was latterly ILL., but was
always in good spirits
1t is believed that the death-trap of
the unlighted and unguarded water
front has, through accident, claimed
another victim.
White was seen at the Popular House
at o'clock last night. 1t is believed
that he we'll into the water twenty-five
minutes later, for his VilNer Elgin
watch of which he frequently boosted
as a good time-keeper stopped at 1921
probably stopping as soon as the water
entered the by no means water-tight
case.
The body was founu at the end of
the Channel wharf, floating.
White may have fallen in at that
end of the harbor, or he may have
fallen in from some other wharf and
the body may easily have been washed
by the current Of the Nuuanu stream
to where 1t was found, Whites GUS
tom was to take evening strolls along
the front though generally i'm company.
Peter Baron lives not far from where
the body was found, Not long after
O'Clock last night he heard splash
and a dog parked. He thought no
more of the incidents until he dis
covered the remains this morning.
On the person of deceased were found
the watch mentioned; a gold chain a
keystone fob bearing on one side a
Masonic emblem and on the other the
following: william White, William
M. Egan Chap 1926. Chicago H.; a
pocket diary OF 1905 with the dates

tic songs and poems printed in the
