VIM We Ought to Be Lazy---SOmetimes

and recuperates. What a tremendous differ
ence between the rush of development in Spring
and the restful Incidence of Winter!
"She has not a lazy bone in her body, says
the farmer of his wife. True; every bit OF re-
cuperative power in her has been exhausted.
She has no Springtme of radiance; no WINTER
period for storing up useful energy. She Is
worn out before her time because she had no
opportunities to be lazy. And the working girl
is no better OFF She should have her days
of Iaziness for the sake of the future race.
The boy or girl accused of being lazy at
times is only demonstrating the ancestral sense
of storing energy. Give the socalled lazy boy
something to do in which he is interested-then
watch him work He rushes ahead vigorously,
accomplishing his task When it is finished he
becomes lazy for a while until another task IS
taken up.
This is a natural state and only when he
outgrows,or rather, submerges it, does he cease
to have lazy periods. This means a loss Of
energy in time. Drive him from one task TO
another: push. rush him on the same daily,
weekly labor without periods of laZiness or
play, and we get that deplorable, sad youth
who grows 10 be a dissatisfied, useless or
broken man.
Laziness is as necessary for the health as
work, but as in all things il must be properly
controlled and the reason for its being a part
of mans life understood.

absorbed nearly all the students of
the Middle Ages.
He shut himself in his castle of
Machecoul. admitting only a few re-
pulsive retainers to his confidence
Among these the leaders were two
men named Henriet and Potion, and
woman known as La Meffraie.'
Gradually terrible stories began to
spread through the thinly settled
countryside concerning the lord of
this great castle Daughters of
peasants and even of citizens of the
towns left their homes and were

tie
The Baron de Retz was vivisecting
these victims in the great inner hall
of his castle. Walls eight feet thick
protected him from intrusion, and
prevented the cries of his victims
from reaching the outside world.
Surprise has been expressed that
the story teller should have made
Bluebeard a murderer of his wives.
when the historical monster, Baron
de Retz, did not find his victims
among them. The difficulty is now
cleared up for it appears that De
Retz vivisected at least one woman
who expected to be his wife. This
victim was his young kinswoman
and ward. Isabelle de Craon. who
doubtless went 10 the castle unsus-
pectingly on account Of their rela-

forgotten female attendants whose
blood and bones helped to fatten the
charnel house.

ancient yellow parchment, in which
he keeps a lengthy record Of his ex-
periments in medieval Latin In
one place i'm his diary he writes:

A SEARCH of the archives of the
"A castle of Nantes has revealed
4 n some astonishing new facts
concerning the career of GILES de
Retz. or de Rails, one OF the most
amazing and dreadful figures in all
history.
GILES de Retz is believed to have
been the original of "Bluebeard.
the famous old French story by
Perrault. In the story he is described
as a monster who has murdered six
wives and has just taken a seventh.
He gives her the key of a room in
his castle and says That is the one
room which you must on no account
enter"
OF course, she enters and there
she sees the heads of her six muir
dered predecessors. By great good
luck she escapes from the castle.
The Baron de Retz, who served as
the original of this story, was exc
cuted at Nantes in l44O for the hor-
ribIe murder of many children, but
he had also killed a number OF
women, although they were not ms
wives.
The new discoveries indicate that
De Retz was really a pioneer OF

would have required an army to take
it by force.
The Baron de Retz records the
fact that he is beginning to find
children more interesting as sub
iects of experiments than women.
He speaks of the large numbers
brought in by his confederates and
later complains that they are be-
coming scarce.
II is calculated that de Retz de-
stroyed 513 human victims by vivi-
section during the nine years i'm
which he was engaged in his scien-
tific researches. Scores of bones,
mostly those of children, have been
discovered beneath the castle OF

Solder King seems to be on the

FOR MAYOR And
MDUFFIE

At q special meeting of the super
visors, called for o'clock yesterday
afternoon, the first one, three hours
previous, being adjourned for lack
or a quorum, recommendations were
approved whereby the purchase Of
two automobiles. one for the mayor
and the other for the detective de-
partment, were authorized. as well as
the purchase of two fiye-ton auto
trucks for street work
In recommending the purchase of
the latter the road department stated
that II IL at this time renting q
mules day, one-third of the re-
CURED number Of live stock needed.
The rental cost of the mules was
given as s425 a. month. The COM
mittee, in it's report, stated that II
had come to the conclusion that In
the long run the city and county
would save money by purchasing the
two trucks, thus doing away with the
need Of much OF the live stock now
required.
The car now used by the mayor
and supervisors will be for
emergency service for the different
departments. A 1918 Cadillac, cost
ing s2225, is to be bought from the
Won Hamm- Young Company to take
its place. The detective department
WIN get a new Chalmers car.

Will AID Fight

eff every man, woman and child in
Honolulu, no matter of what nation
ality, attends the two moving picture
shows to be given in the opera house
next Monday and Tuesday nights, the
ambition of the board of health will
be no more than fulfilled" said Pres
ident Pratt of that body this morning.
'"rhe films that the board has Sc
cured from the national associations
fighting the great white plague are
the latest that have been made and
are as graphic as ingenuity can make
them, appealing without nauseating.
The exhibitions form an enlarged
Ihase of the campaign the board has
been carrying on in conjunction with
the Anti-Tuberculosis league and
will be the most ambitious yet com
menced in the territory. The films
will probably be shown in the local
theatres after the public exhibit, and
will then be sent to every plantation
camp and village in Hawaii, with in
terpreters to explain their meaning.
ITO the average person, however,
they will need very little explanation.
If the actual work of the national as
sociations with all the conditions they
fight could be reduced 20 stage size
and put on at the opera house no
more graphic picture could be OBJ
tanned of what tuberculosis means to
the country than is shown by these
fiction pictures" ~ ~" II ..

performance while that of Tuesday

TRAGEDY OF
CANDY And
OF GARBAGE

The singular adventures Of a garb-
age can and the tragedy or a candy
cart were reviewed last night, in all
their doleful details, by the health
committee of the board of supervis-
ors. How the garbage can, complas-
cent of disposition, suffered ups and
downs and sudden disappearances,
and how at last ten dollars worth OF
the door of the candy cart was smash
ed by collector of refuse were told
to members of the committee by re-
representatives. of the Quong Chong|
Lung Company.
Damages were asked, in the sum of
ten dollars, for the broken door, and,
incidentally, out of the garbage can
discussion came the suggestion from
Or. james Wayson, city and county
physician, that an ordinance be pass
ed fixing the size and kind of hgarb-
age containers to be used in the CITY,
The suggestion met with the immedi-
ate approval of the board, so 1t Is ex-
pected that an ordinances will be in
PRODUCED soon covering the sugges-
ton of the physician.
The story of the strange adven-
lures of the garbage can and the
broken door of the candy cart we're
first told to the supervisors in a let.
ter from the Chinese firm, and later
referred to the committee which
acted on it last night. After consid-
cradle argument, and some oratory.
which escaped with gaseous ease
from Supervisor Wolter, who summed
up the rights of the claimants
the injustice of an unjust act, 1t was
agreed that the candy door should
be repaired without expense to the
vendor. and that individual case Of
the garbage can should go, as IT'S con-
tents have gone so many times
which is to say, by the boards.

they will not be prosecuted. The men
stole bed clothing from the box cars
of the company which had been pro-

Isaac Burns searched their homes
and found the blankets. De Gianni
said he bought the articles and re-
fused to admit his guilt until his
pardner had confessed. He said he
bought the blankets on Main street
but did not know the number of the

to take him to the store where he
claimed he had secured them. The

Railroad News
TO ASK MORE WAGES
Richmond Div. Employees
Signing Petition.

The conductors and trainmen on the
Richmond Division of the p. c. c. and
ST. l.. road are circulating a petition
for more wages, it was reported today
The petition is in the form of vote
and most of the employees are signing
it, it is said. According to railroad en-
pIOyes the vote will not result in a
strike if refused by the railroad Off
cials
The local officials of the road stated
that they were unaware that the petit
tion was being circulated. No state
ments were made by the representa-
tives of the company as to the action
which might be taken by the company
in this matter.
1t has always been contended by en-
ployes on lines of. the railroads east
of Chicago that the employees of rail
roads west OF Chicago were receiving
higher wages.
