MATTER OF HUMAN NATURE
Really There Is Much Similarity Be-
tween Conventions Of Women
and of Men.

Everybody notices the discord In a
woman's convention. Some men even
smile a superior smile. They never
stop to think that the women are do
ing just about what the men do I'M
der similar circumstances.
A woman's convention isn't so diff
ferent. If it were it wouldn't attract
attention. II the women ran a con-
vention in a strictly feminine way
people would probably find it natural.
It's the simple fact that it's very much
the same that attracts the notice.
There's lot Of wrangling in a won
ans convention-much of it apparent,
ly over immaterial matters. There's
a deal of personality-often an unnec-
essary lot. There's frequently a plain
lack of a definite decision OF ever of
really fruitful discussion on any par
ticular subject. Neg

conventions. Whoever doesn't think
they are not found it's because the
meeting is a merely cut and dried
affair. Personality, irrelevance, vic
lent discussions, sulking in tents-you
will find them all.
There's a great deal of human ma
ture in women, after all. Even in
convention they just can't help from
acting about as men act under SINH
circumstances.-Chicag Herald.

visited the Hawaiian islands they were
most particularly impressed with the
similarity of the native legends to the
Old Testament history Of the Bible.
They were for time inclined to ac-
count. this peculiar fact to the visits
to the islands at some previous time
of representatives Of some of the Eu-
ropean races, but upon closer associa-
ton with the natives andpa a more thor
ough understanding of their customs
and language it became apparent that
they were absolutely free from Euro
pean influence. Another strange fact
which appeared and one that. seeming
ly entirely precluded European influ-
ence was that the New Testament his
tory of the Bible was conspicuous only
by its absence from the native lore.
This was and is now taken as certain
evidence that no Europeans had visit
ed the islands, for had they done SO it
is readily apparent that the New Tes-
lament history must have been para
mount in their teachings.
One of the Lost Tribes?
Possibly the most plausible theory
as to the descent of the Hawaiians and
the other branches Of the Polynesian
race is that they originally sprang
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1914-12-24

from some of the lost tribes of Israel,
who in some unaccountable manner
reached the shores of the great west
ern ocean in their migrations and pop
ulated certain of it's islands.
In support of this theory, which
gradually is coming to be accepted
among scholars, are numerous ancient
legends which have been handed down
by word of mouth for centuries. OF
these not the least interesting is the
legend having to do with the creation
In the beginning Kane, Ku and Lono,
Sunlight, Substance and Sound. consti-
tuted a triad named Ku-Kaua-Kahi rec
ognized as the Supreme Unity.
These gods existed, as expressed by
the Hawaiians, from the time of night,
darkness and chaos, which latter they
dissipated by an act of their will. The
heavens, numbering three In all, we're
next created, and after them the earth,
which was used by them as a footstool.
Next in the order of events they Gre
ated the sun and, following this, the
moon and stars and a number of spir.
its and angels to act as their servants.
Then man was made by the gods from
red and white earth and clay and their
spittle. The clay was brought from
the ends of the earth by Lono. When
the earthen form of man was complet-
ed, the triad breathed into his nose
and he became a living being. Last of
all, woman was created from one OF
the ribs Of the man while he slept. and
upon awaking he took her as his wife,
the two becoming the parents of the
present race.

Eggs Have Great NutrItlve Value.

Eggs give one of the purest forms
of albumen, or proteid, and, conse-
quently, they have great nutritiVe
value. To be easily digested, they
should be beaten up so as to separate
the particles of the egg, because the
stomach juices cannot easily penetrate
the viscid mass of the egg, or should
be boiled SO as to be easily broken up.
When athletes are training for a con
test they use a diet that consists, in
great part, of rare meat, because this
gives them strength without fat. So
If we wish children to be strong, we
must use as an important part of their
diet some form Of animal food; milk
and meat soups for the very young
ones, or eggs and fresh meats for
those older.

@NERvE" MATCHED HIS Play
Golfers Remarkable Luck Almost
Equaled the Remark With Which
He Followed II.

A member OF the Washington
American league team, who had al
ways pretended TO regard golf as q
game for old men and crippled wom-
en-, was persuaded to try his luck at
the sport. Almost the whole club
went to the first tee to see him drive
on.
What have l got to do, caddie?"
he asked of the boy who went with
him.
You drive off from here" said the
caddie. pointing to the tee, "and
you're to put the ball in that little
hole with the flag flying above it.
I'll go on and mark your ball"
The caddie did SO, and the ball
player, with proper elaboration. drove
off. By an extraordinary stroke of
luck he drove a beautiful ball, which
landed just on the edge of the green.
and slowly trickled down into the
hole. The caddie, wild with excite
ment, came dashing back, shouting:
you're down in one-the balls in the
hole!"
Well" said the novice, nonchalant-
ly, I'm glad of that. At first / was
afraid l might have missed it."

Substantial Breakfast.

Substantial breakfasts are cham
pioned by a book published recently
entitled Food and Flavor" The
author is not an approver Of the mo
breakfast" idea that prevails among a
certain number of persons. He con-
trasts favorably the solid English
breakfast, on which Canadian break
fasts are modelled, with the light early
meal that is customarily partaken Of
on the continent.
Breakfast, the very word" he says,
suggests a great service Britannia
has done the ~gastronemic world.
Nothing could be more irrational for
normal persons than the continental
habit of eating only bread and butter
for breakfast and then having a sec
ond heavier breakfast at eleven or
twelve o'clock to interrupt the morn
ing's work in its full tide. Far bet
ter, both economically and hygienical-
ly is the English way of having a sub.
stantial breakfast and then nothing
more till lunch time, the best hour for
which is one o'clock. A healthy person
ought to have a good appetite in the
morning, after a nights rest, and
crafty it."

go to proclaim them as originally hav-
ing descended from a highly cultured
and civilized stock, but, strange to re-
late, just what that original stock was
or from what portion of the world it
migrated many centuries ago has
never been accurately decided by stu
dents, and through some freak Of
chance not one of the hundreds Of an
cient Hawaiian legends which have
been handed down through the gen
erations alludes to the part of the
world from which these people came.
May Be of Caucasian Descent.
Physically, the Hawaiian typifies his
race in being of a prepossessing APP
pearance, tall, symmetrically built and
handsome in both form and feature.
His color varies from dark brown to
almost white, while his features in
many cases show a European cast, a
fact which has given rise to the theory
that he is undoubtedly Of Caucasian
descent. This theory, although for
many years secuted by students, grad
ually has come to be generally accept
ed, and although there are many who
maintain that it is without foundation,
the majority of scholars uphold 1t.
Outside Of the racial characteris-
tics displayed, strength is lent to the
theory through the study Of the my
thoIogy, folklore and primitive poetry
of the Hawaiians and other Polynesian
branches. All these are found to be
rich in cosmogonic tales and ancestor
myths, primitive epics and hero stories
being particularly abundant.

theater over at Berkeley for one or

~2OM what source did the Poly
nesian race originally spring?
This is a question which has
vexed the minds of learned stu
dents Of the origin of races and
one which has never been satisfactor-
lily answered, says Stuart B. Dunbar in
the San Francisco Chronicle. The
Polynesian race in the accepted n
OF the word is that race Of people
which inhabits the Tonga, Samoan,
Ellice, Cook, Society, Marquesas and
Hawaiian islands. In former times,
however, all brown skinned peoples Of
the islands Of the Pacific were errone-
ously included in the classification, de-
spite the fact that their physical and
mental characteristics differ radically
from the inhabitants of the islands
mentioned.
The Hawaiians, that branch of the
Polynesian race with which we Of the
United States are most vitality CON
cerned, and which can be taken as
typical representatives Of the race,

tive peoples of the world. Appear
