RELICS OF FATHER
DAMIEN LOST WHEN
L0UVAIN Is SACKED

Many of the, relics which were
priced by the late Father Damien dur
ing his life of service at Molokai have
been destroyed by the Germans in
their attack on Louvain, Belgium.
Word has been received by the Ha-
wall Promotion Committee from Bro
Their Dutton. executor of the estate,
that none of the relics will be recoy-
cred. -~...z. II. ..
Following out the request of Father
Damien, the relics were forwarded to
Louvain by Brother Dutton, and word
has just been received that the rel
les were destroyed when Louvain was
sacked by the Germans. Father Dami-
en- had loved the pretty city or Lou
vain and it was this city, surround
ed by works of art, that sheltered the
relics from fIolokai. s..
Brother Dutton in his letter men
toned that for more than 80 years he
had lived in the Molokai settlement
and in all those years has never
left the island. In that length OF time
he has paid but three visits to Kalau-
papa, six miles. away from his station
at Kalawao.

RELOCATION OF !.
TRACKS MAY BE
SETTLED TODAY

! To take up further discussion and
hear the report OF the road commit
tee on the difficulty over the relocation
of the tracks on Kalakaua avenue, the
board of supervisors is TO meet this
afternoon at 5o'clock. F.. :.
Just what Charles. Arnold. chairman
of the road committee, will have to re.
port and what stand will be taken by
the board is hard to say, but it is un-
derstood that the report of the com
mitee will clear away many misunder-
standings and greatly relieve the ten
sion which has developed as result
of several opinions offered as to what
the board can and cannot do. -.
One important matter that will prob
ably be taken up is the ordering of
reply sent TO the Rapid Transit
Company to its letter which said in
part that the company does not admit
your authority to order it to move its
tracks as it involves an unnecessary
expense, estimated at SIC 900 But in
this case the company is willing to
cooperate and will relocate its tracks
in the position indicated by you as
soon as reasonably practicable. T..
In reply the board will probably ask
the company to lay temporary tracks,
but whether the offer of $4,000 as half
the expenses will be made could not
be learned, but it is expected that it
will not. IT, =. ..'-. -. ~. e..

n THAT BOND ISSUE.

Up to date objections to the proposed municipal
bond issues have been voiced mostly by men who
speak not from any study particular knowledge
of the ctys finances, but from personal preference
and general belief. On the other hand, those most
strongly in favor of the bond issue who have
given the subject the deepest and most expert study
In addition, a number of the city's fnanciers who
are also active in public enterprise express Them
selves in favor OF the issue.
On the surface, the tax-rate increase appears to
many taxpayers "the easiest way" But Supervisor
Hatch and Supervisor Logan showed rather thor
ougbly how impossible it is to depend upon an in
crease in the tax-rate to carry out improvements
which are absolutely vital
Nothing is more simple than to condemn off hand
the bond proposal The people who do il are not
charged with the responsibility of financing these
public improvements. IL they were. there is small
question that they; too, would be in favor of the
bond issue.

Psychology Gets Its Bumps.

Psychology was handed a brand
new bump by the aldermen of New
York, who do not believe that the cops
of the city should be taught the sci
ence of the mind in order to detect
criminals. Recently the police COM
missioner appointed two doctors to
teach psychology to the uniformed
force. After qualifying, a cop was
supposed to be able to tell the condi-
tion of a mans mind by the way he lit a
cigar or cigarette, scratched his nose
or answered the simplest question.
The city fathers upper lips curled
when the request for the pay for the
psychology teachers was read at the
meeting. THE taxpayers don't want
psychologists made of cops" said the
president. They're paid to preserve
the peace and not to read mems minds
by outward actions. An intelligent
cop can come pretty near distinguish
ing between a sane man and one who
isn't" 1t looks as If the psycholo-

CALLING OUT OF VOGUE.
Cordial Old New Year Practice Has
Almost Entirely Died Out.

New Years day itself is celebrated
quietly nowadays. The old custom of
receiving calls that used to betn vogue
when our mothers We're y'Sng has
never been revived, and the size Of our
cities and the enormous proportions to
which even a quiet woman's visiting
list will grow with even the slightest
encouragement make it seem unlikely
that this cordial old practice will ever
again be in vogue.
Many people. however. send New
Year cards TO their friends. wishing
them health. happiness asi prosperity.
and young men. especially those who
have been the recipients of hospitality.
send their women friends a bunch of
roses. box of candy or new book.

plan is often adupie6 by men who wish
to pay small courtesies to their friends.

Weather indications have always
been watched on New Years eve and
the signs believed and acted upon In
good faith. Centuries ago our druid
ancestors observed New Years day by
wonderful religious and mystical cere-
monies. and the SaSons made OF 1t a
grand festival, with feasting and mer-
rymalIing and exchange of gifts. In
England the day has always been one
of gift making: tenants make presents
to their landlords. loyal subjects to
their sovereigns and friends exchange
souvenirs, as we do at Christmas.
The custom was brought to this coun-
try. and many of us can remember
when young men and maidens got up
early on the first day of the year and
went out in merry companies, from
door to door, bearing lively greetings
to the neighboring households.

The New Years festivities In China
are prolonged for two weeks. and
sometimes month. The time Is spent
in making visits. exchanging gifts and
feasting. According TO an ancient ira
dition In China the first day of the

the flesh of animals Is forbidden as
