MAYOR lane Will
STAGE HAWAIIAN
TABLEAU At BALL
City Head Plans to Present
Scenes of Early Days in
Honor of New Year

AS a special attraction for the big
New Year ball which Mayor Lane is
to give on the last night of the year,
the mayor is now planning a Hawai-.
| ian pageant or tableau to be staged
some time near midnight on the
green alongside Bishop street.
New Years was always great day
for the old Hawaiians," says the
mayor, "and the thought occurred to
me that II would be fine plan to
celebrate the coming of 1916 with
something that will bark back to the
old days. II should be pleasing to
residents here as well as to tourists" "
Mrs. Rosalie Blaisdell and Mrs.
Manuel Refs, both of whom had an
active part in planning the success
ful pageant given last year at the
,Punahou campus during the Carnival,
have been asked to work out the
plans. I T.: ....
y" 'Makahiki hou'-the new year
it was called by the old Hawaiians,' .
ksays the mayor 'In the old days the
king would go out to sea in his double
ea1oe before daybreak, coming back
to shore just at sunrise Of the new
year,
s"As he set foot once again on the
beach he was met with shower OF
swords from four or five of his warri-
ors, ,sbut would face the missiles, par
ryiRH them aside with his arms much
to the. delight and wonder of the
poppIAce.
"TRis was a sign that he was be-
ginning the year with strength and
skill, continues the mayor, "and
was thS opening of the general cele-
bratioBt which followed through the
day, ap4 often for a week after
wards. "'1
Much 6f the quaintness of old Ha-
waii is gone forever, and the mayor
is one shat believes relics of it
should bespreserved. 1t is because of
this feeliH8 that he has decided to ask
for a takieau of old-time Hawaiian
life on New Years Eve.

THIN FOLKS WHO
WOULD BE FAT
Increase In Weight Ten Pounds or
More.
n PhYslcian's Advlce.

A Physicians Advice.
'I'd certainly give most anything
to be able to fat up few pounds and
stay that way" declares every exces-
sively thin man or woman. Such
result Is not impossible, despite past
failures. Thin people are victims Of
mal-nutrition, q condition which pre-
vents the fatty elements OF food from
being taken up by the blood as they
are when the powers OF nutrition are
normal. Instead of getting into the
blood, all the fat and flesh producing
elements stay in the intestines until
they pass from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to
produce a healthy normal, amount of
fat the nutritiye processes must be
artificially supplied with the power
which nature has denied them. This
can best be accomplished by eating
~Sargoi tablet with every meal. Sar-
gol Is a scientific combination of six
CT the best Strengthening, fat-pro-
ducing elements known to the medical
profession. Taken with meals, II
mikes with the food and turns the
sugars and starches into rich, ripe
nourishment for the tissues and blood
and its rapid effect is remarkable. Re-
ported gains Of from ten to twe0ty.
five pounds in a single month are by
no means infrequent. Yet its action
is perfectly natural and absolutely
harmless. ,@~ n
caution:-While Sargol has produc.
ed remarkable results in the treat
ment Of nervous Indigestion and gen.
eral stomach disorders, it should not,
owing to its remarkable flesh produc.
Ing effect, be used by those who are
not willing to increase their weight
ten pounds or more. >". -. T."

MERELY A COINCIDENCE.

DR.. Constantin Dumba, then ambassa-
dor of Austria- Hungary to the United
States, on Aug. goth last wrote to the
Austro- Hungarian minister for foreign
affairs as follows:
I'VE can disorganize and hold up, il
not entirely prevent, the manufacture
OF munitions in Bethlehem and the Mid
die West, which is of great importance
and amply outweighs the expenditure of
the money involved"
That was on Aug. goth. Nine days
later, on Aug. 29th, an explosion wreck
ed the powder plant of the American
Glazing Mill at Acton, Pa. an explosion
with two deaths occurred in the Du Point
Powder Mills near Wilmington, Del, ar
attempt was made to wreck train car.
rying guncotton from the Aetna Powder
Works near Gary. Ind; and the shrap.
mel plant of the E. J. Codd Compay in
Baltimo ore was damaged by fire. Two
days later still, on Aug. 31st, the shell
plant of the MalIeable Iron Works at
St. Charles, ILL.,, was damaged by fire
and train carrying dynamite from the
Du Pont de Nemours works at Pinole,
Cal, was wrecked with loss of two lives.
Such incidents continued. On Sept.
4th guncotton bomb was found in the
Driggs-Seabury ordn- nee plant at Shar-
on, Pa. On Oct. 9Th an explosion &C.
Cured with loss of four lives in the
Aetna Powder Plant at Emporium, Pa.
On Oct. 18th an explosion occurred in
the Du Pont de Nemours Powder Works
at Pompton Lakes, N. ]. Oct. 18th saw
the burning, at Seattle, WASH, of a
great warehouse filled with munitions
for Russia, with loss of $500, 600. Nov.
10th was marked with the burning of
Machine Shop No. of the Bethlehem
Steel Company, at Bethlehem, Pa, con-
tanning 300 guns destined for the Allied
Powers, with losses approximating ST.
600, 900. and the burning of the pattern
house of the Eddystone plant of the
Baldwin Locomotive Works near Ches-
ter, Pa. The next day. Nov. 18th, saw
the burning of steel rope mill of John
A. Roebling's Sons at Trenton, N. j..
and the damaging by fire of the mum.
tons plant of the Thomas P. Sicily Bolt
Company, in Philadelphia.
In every case but one the cause of the
disaster was either unknown or obvi-
ously malicious. In every one of the
unknown" cases there were suspicious
circumstances, strongly indicating NAL
ice. In the one exception, an innocent
cause was assigned, but without the
slightest proof, while circumst ances
strongly suggested motives for making
such an assignment without regard for
facts.
1t may be that this prompt and per-
sistent following of Dumba's sugges-
ton with overt acts for its fulflment has
been mere coincidence, and that every
one of the disasters or threatened disas-
tiers since his utterance would have oc-
Cured just the same if he had never
contemplated interference with legiti-
mate American industries. 1t may also
be that the moon is made of green
cheese. Boston Transcript.

AN ABSURD LAW.

1t is getting to be almost INSIDE
meanor to possess an American flag in
Massachuset s; and Boston, with memo
ries of Paul Revere and Bunker Hill and
Lexington and Concord, is the chief ex-
ponent of a most absurd law. 1t is
ruled that the use of the American flag as
any part of the illustrated front cover of
a magazine is a debasement of the flag
to purposes of advertising. Even a
glass paper weight, devoid of a single
word, cannot be sold or given away, if it
contains the flag.
During the past few months three ex-
celent magazines, of national reputa-
ton, were barred from circulation in
Boston, under penalty of heavy fines
and what was the "offense?" On one a
group of aged women were portrayed in
the diabolical act of sewing an Ameri-
can flag; in another Fourth-of-July
girl had two small American flags in her
hair; and the third showed the flag with
patriotic quotations from the President
of the United States printed below.
In each instance the flag was used in a
dignifed manner. What more impress
sive than the bent form of white-haired
motherhood fashioning with trembling
fingers the stars and stripes? What
more beautiful than young woman
hood, with all the charm Of grace and
beauty, espousing the flag which has
given more to daughters and mothers
than any other flag on earth? What
more appropriate than that the momen-
tous words of the commander of the
Army and Navy should find expression
beneath Old Glory, to honor and protect
which he has taken his solemn oath.
At heart we are sound, but in our de-
sire to avoid the sembance of devotion
to royalty we have gone to the other eX-
| IRENE.
For fear of appearing sentimental, we
reluctantly arise when the national an
them is played; we see its folds break
! from the peak with covered heads and
faint applause. Must we have another
scourge of shot and shell to teach US the
lesson of its worth?
What we need in this great melting
pot of nations is not less American flag
but more of it. Let it fly from every
schoolhouse, in every State; let it I'M
furl when our courts of law convene; let
its folds drape our pulpits; give it p
place in every shop. and Office and home.
Let our girls wear it in their hair, and
our boys wear it on their breast. Let it
not be the emblem of holiday but let it
find its response from the first words Of
first-born all the way through life, and
with his last breath let him praise it's
grandeur and bequeath its trust to chill
dren's children. H. Windsor, in the
December number of Popular Mechanics
Magazine.

Doefsh Danger to Humans.
OF late years the dogfish have come
into our harbors in great numbers. They
are great menace to the thousands of
bathers along our coast. They will at
tack person in the water and bite them
to death. Several instances can be cited
to prove this statement to be correct.
A few years ago two brothers started
in dory cunning; they landed on half
tide on an island on the Maine coast.
The brothers landed the dory, the tide
came up and the dory went adrift. There
was no way of getting her and it was
only question of the tide coming and
covering the ledge several feet. The
only thing to do was for one of the
brothers to remove his clothing and start
out to swim for the dory. He did this
and before he had gone great ways he
called to his brother, who had remained
on the ledge, and said, 'The dogfish are
killing me; l can't last long, goodby,"
and he sank beneath the waves.
During the last season, near Nc
Kown's shore. Boothbay Harbor, young
lady attempted to swim short distance
from the shore and before she had gore
far the dogfsh had surrounded her and
she gave an alarm which brought to her
rescue a boat. She was able to ward off
the dogfsh until the boat arrived and
rescued her.
