MYSTERIOUS BURNING
may Be FOUL MURDER

What appears TO be a case Of muir.
der was discovered when japanese,
Kono, rushed down from the mauka
homestead portion Of Papaikou plan
tation, Island Of Hawaii, and told a
wild story Of his roommate being
burned 10 DEATH
"A party Of Japanese reached the
camp but found no sign Of burning
house. They, however, upon entering
the house, that Kono indicated, were
Mortified to find the body Of another
Japanese, Naito, lying on the floor.
The back Of the mani head was
smashed In, he was covered with blood
and the lower part Of his back and
legs were charred from burning. The
body had, evidently, at one time. rest
ed on a mattress that was in another
room. The mattress was half burnt
and had blood ON IL also.
The man who had given the alarm
declared that he had never touched
Naito, end that when he ran for assis.
lance the man was not injured in any
way beyond being burned.
Kono's story was not thought much

The fact that Kopo,s clothing was

The AFFAIR IS looked upon in some
quarters. A. the result OF a drunken
spree, The inah Who, was killed was
very old and weak. One OF his eyes
had been blinded some years ago. He,
and the man Who Is supposed to have
murdered him, resided together in a
house that is located on the home
stead where the two men worked.
The police theory is that Kono had
been drinking and that some trouble
arose between the two men. A row
began and Kono struck his friend on
the back Of the head with a hoe, cane
knife or some other implement. He
then is thought to have made an eff
fort to burn down the house 50 as to

USES FOR OLD LINEN.
How Frsnehwomen Use the Tops Of
Old Evening Gloves

How Frsnehwomen Use the Tops Of
Old Evening Gloves.
Never throw away old linen In any
shape or form. Cotton sheets and pill
lowcases when old and worn are soft
and splendid for bandages and other
siekroom needs. No new bandage
ever equals old bed or table linen for
such purposes, as they viii tell you at
any hospital, but it is understood 1t
must be steriliZed before being used
Housekeepers are apt to overlook
this use for old linen unless there is
really sickness present In the house,
but a store OF such pieces laid away
VIII never come amiss even IL they are
only used for ironing boards and for
wrapping up bundles in the storeroom,
for In a contagious disease old sheets
must be hung over the dOOrways to the
sickroom and kept wet with disinfect-
ant When the weather Is hot wet
sheets hung about the room will cool
the air.
The linen should have been washed
clean without starch, and the hands
that roll it should be very clean. For
an open wound sterilized gauze VIII be
a necessity, but clean linen may be
used to protect the bandages under
meath. At the hospitals the old linen
50 utilized Is baked In the regular oven
to sterilize # before using.
When the bandages are rolled they
should be placed in a clean covered
receptacle until needed A glass jar
or a covered box win do for the pur-
pose The width OF the bandages de-
ponds upon their use. About one inch
Is wide enough for a finger, and from
that the widths vary. For an abdom-
inaI bandage six or eight inches may
not be too wide
The tops Of old evening gloves have
their use too. An appeal recently came
from Paris for them, to be seved to-
gether as interlinings In vests for sol
diers In winter trenches. Hundreds OF
poor women are kept employed making
these winter comforts

A Potato Race.

Children of all ages except the baby
enjoy greatly a potato race. Two rows
Of potatoes are laid along the ground
for a distance Of a hundred feet or so,
about five feet apart. A basket or pail
is placed at the end OF the row from
which the contestants start. Two per-
sons begin together, each having
spoon, and they must pick up the pota-
toes, one at a time, on the spoon with
out touching IL with the hand, and
carry 1t safely and drop it in the bas-
ket. One may select the potatoes in any
order one pleases, but must make a
separate trip for each potato. Some
times they ding the potatoes from
distance, but IL it falls short 1t must be
picked up and placed in the basket
Whoever gets his potatoes in first Is
the winner of these two; then two 9TH
ers enter the contest. After all the
company have had their turn the win
ners are pitted against each other until
there is only one remaining, who Is
pronounced the champion.
