Papier-Mache Ship of Desert
Disappears: May Have Gone

Here is a mystery worthy of the
skill of all Sherlock Holmeses in
Honolulu
Where is the papier-mache Gamer
belonging to Aloha Temple?
1t disappeared mysteriously a few
hours after it was used in the big
shrine parade last Saturday afternoon
and has evidently followed in the
footsteps of its ''side-kick," the shrine
elephant. which also disappeared after
it was used in carnival parade in
February. ~. -"
Edgar S. Barry, property clerk OF
Aloha. is using all his deductiye pow.
ers to fathom the mystery, but down
to a late hour today had not Succeed
ed in tracing the ship of the desert
further than to the doors of the Fort
street skating rink, where the parade
wound up. Firemen at the fire sta
ton say they saw the camel go into
the rink. 1t apparently vanished into
thin air after getting there, however.
Two Portuguese stevedores were the
motive power of the animal They
say they are in 1.-THE dark, too.
Fred Harrison returned everything
to me, down to a package of safety
pins, except the camel" says Barry.
1T cost Aloha Temple $3.50, having
come here year ago from Germany,
with the elephant, on January q, 1915.
First the elephant disappeared in the
carnival parade this February, and
now the camel has gone. Guess he
has followed the elephant up into the

PLAN TO BOOST
WAIAHOLE FIND
Secretary Taylor Viii Visit
New Beauty Spot; Scenery
Claimed Unsurpassed

Now that Mayor Lane and the
board of supervisors. with Capt. A,
Amman of the Great Northern and
many others are boosting for a tourist
road to the Waiahole tunnel, the Ha-
waii Promotion Committee will pay a
visit to the scene to make plans for
placing this section on the map" said
Albert p Taylor, secretary of the
committee, today. :....s.
According to Mr. Taylor, everyone
who has visited this section has been
charmed with the scenic possibilities,
and, according to Captain Amman, the
thing which impressed him most was
the beautiful natural scenery and the
fragrance of the blossoms there.
Engineer Jorgen Jorgensen states
that the road bed could be used for
foundation fer an auto highway,
which would bring tourists to the
newly-discoyered beauty spot With
the flowers, the trees and burial
caves, the tourists would find much
to please. them. Mr. Taylor says he
intends to pay visit to this section
as soon as possible and Judge of the
opportunities for sightseeing.
One of the plans already suggested
is to have tea house on the spot
and arrangements made to include
this section in the around-the-island
trips. 1t will open up a new opportu-
nifty for sightseeing and should be
boosted along" said Mr.. Taylor in
conclusion. ",."

THEATRICAL OFFERINGS
BLANCHE rings
WORK ISENPERT

While to all intents and purposes
"The Yankee Girl" now showing at
the Liberty, represents Blanche Rings
film debut, the spectacular Oliver
Morosco production being the first
adequate exploitation upon the screen
of her extraordinary gifts, the cele-
brated comedieane and singer is NO
stranger to the silent drama. Blanche
Ring made her first screen appear
ance some seasons ago in Elimination
of a Lew Fie.G's burlesque of Wilt
am Vaughan Moody's THE Great Di-
vide" under the name of "The Great
Decide" which was a feature in the
big New York musical review, About
Town"
The burletta had a distinguished
cast, in addition to Blanche Ring
there being Lew Fields, the late Pete
Daley, Edna Wallace Hopper, now
a war nurse in France; Lawrence
Grossmith and George Beban Yer.
non Castle played a small part.
Blanche Rings work in Margaret
Anglin's role was SO impressive that
many took it seriously and declared
she was Margaret Anglin herself.
The expert manner in which Miss
Ring handles the fine comedy in The
Yankee Girl, especially in the love
scenes with Forrest Stanley and In
the champagne scene with Herbert
Standing, makes her early success
in films easy to understand.

WOMAN WOULD-BE
SUICIDE SAVED
BY Wild ride

To save the life of Mrs. Charlotte
Howell, who had taken ant poison.
the police ambulance made wild
drive last night. II was successful in
the race with death.
Mrs. Howell is the wife of Chief
Machinist's Mate NJ w Howell. T..
S. N. stationed on the u. S. s. Alert
at Pearl Harbor. She was divorced
before marrying him. Having saved
up $3.50 towards the first payment he
intended to make on runabout auto
that would take him from his home
near School and Nuuanu streets, hack
and forth to his ship at Pearl Harbor,
Howell turned this amount over to
his wife for safe keeping.
About this time Mrs Howell's first
husband came to her pleading for as
sistance to enable him to leave for
the mainland, where he felt there
were better prospect in store for. him.
Mrs. Howell used the largest part OF
the $3.50 to assist him, according to
the story told the police. 49,
When Howell returned home and
asked for the money a scene was ere
ated, the outcome of.which was the
Se.hAhS VI PoAooHs q dudHttt3 VI uCoeh-
to-ants paste, by Mrs. Howell. The
ambulance rushed Mrs. Howell to the
emergency hospital. where the stom-
ach pump was used with good results.
En- route to the hospital the ainbu-
lance had very narrow escape from
serious collision. The escape was
so narrow that the ambulance has no
rear right door now.
This is the second time Mrs. How
ell has been in the emergency hospital
for attempted suicide. but the first
time, which occurred about three
weeks ago, turned out to be only
bluff. There was no bluff in this in.

and grips Theda Bara is certainly
destined to become one Of the great

story of throbbing emotion so skilful-
