Fancy dancing and interpretative
dancing and, in fact, dancing OF all
kinds holds the popular mind and all
the popular magazines devote pages
to descriptions of the steps being pre-
scented in various large cities. Ho-
nolulu is, as usual, keeping right
up to the minute and the beautiful
Zarastura ballet to be presented as
a large act in the June fantasy will
be one of the finest acts ever pre-
sented here. Mrs. T. l.. Bolton has
been untiring in her training and, no
doubt, her efforts will be appreciated
by al. .<.
To say that the ballet is being per-
formed by 20 or more of Honolulu's

women assures it's success immedi-
ately. -.
The story of Zarastura centers
around a beautiful Egyptian girl,

NEED TRUCKS TO
COLLECT RUBBER
Social Service Department Asks Use
of Machines and Help OF Boys
TO Gather Articles.

The social service department of the
Rock Island Woman's club will need
at least 100 automobiles and 200 boys
to assist in the collection of old rub
Der and paper next Saturday. There
are ever so many firms and business
houses that could give the use OF a
truck or machine for a certain part OF
the day Saturday and there are many
Boy Scouts who ought to be willing
to lend their help. Those having ma
chimes. or boys willing to help are
asked to call Miss Ella Goldman, Rock
Island 1855, or Miss Ruth West, Rock
Island 1908.
Miss Jeanette McFarquhar Of the
Lend a Hand club of Davenport last
evening told the gymnasium class of
800 girls Of the social service depart
ment, how rubber-paper day was con-
Quoted In Davenport week ago and
gave them many helpful hints and
suggestions as to how to conduct such
day in this city. The girls were en-
thusiastic and are working with all
their might to make Of the day a great
success.
All kinds of paper can be saved and
given to the collectors next Satur-
day: Newspapers, paper bags, Easter
bonnet boxes and bags, calendars, old
city directories, wall paper, envelopes,
candy boxes, florist boxes, window
cards, advertising booklets, old maps
suit boxes, old books. blotters, card
board, various kinds of blotters, cat
alogues, in fact everything made OF
! paper And in rubber articles there
are auto tires. bicycle tires, water
bottles, rubber heels, rubber gloves
garden hose, cork mats. coats, gossa-
mers, bathing caps, pencil erasers
carriage tires, tubing, betting, atom
izers, jar rubbers, overshoes, boots
doormats, washers, etc, etc.
The committee In charge will be
able by tomorrow to name the COM
mittees that have in charge each sec
ton of the city and of the manner in
which the articles will be collected
Rubber-paper day can be made grea'
success if the city at large will assist
in the undertaking. The attic and
basement must contain ever so many
things that the social service depart
ment could sell and realize a sum OF
money from for use in the equipment
of home for girls in the city.

CREEK POLICIES
Former Premier Attacks Action of His
Government in Riot at Meet
ing of Liberals.

Athens, April 1S.-The liberal morn
ing papers comment bitterly today on
the action of the police during the riot
ing yesterday, while the government
organs throw the blame on the liberals.
1t is announced that liberal meetings
will be resumed after Easter, the lib
eral party meanwhile taking action
against the police authorities for al
lowing, it is alleged, the presence at
their meetings of agents whose object
was to provoke riotous events.
Il beg you to bring the events of
yesterday and the earnest protest of
majority of Greeks TO the knowledge of
the American people, who have strug
gled for so long to establish free
speech as the fundamental right of free
peoples" said eX-Premier Venizelos to-
| day to the Associated Press.
Here in Greece we are confronted
| by the question whether we are to
have democracy presided over by a
king or whether at this hour in our
history we must accept the doctrine
of the divine right of kings.
| THE present government represents
! in no sense the majority of the Hell
lenic people We liberals, twice with
in a year, received the vote of the ma
! jority. At the last election, which was
nothing more than burlesque of the
free exercise of the right of suffrage,
we were not willing to participate in
a farcical Formally where, owing to
the mobilization, it would have been
possible, as indeed it was the govern
ment's intention, to keep the liberal
voters with the colOrs and not allow
them to cast their ballots while their
opponents would be given every facil-
ity to crush the liberal party by a
vote which could not have presented
more than a small minority of the
Greek people.
I'VE refused to take part in this sin
lister comedy. The present government
of Greece is, therefore, nowise repre-
sentative and we liberals have left us
only our right Of free speech and free
assemblage, guaranteed by the consti.
tuition as the sole means of taking
counsel among ourselves; of trying &c
enlighten the opinion of the country
and perhaps of exercising a pacific
pressure of the will of the majority
upon a government not representing
the majority
Now it is even sought to deny us
this. The meetings organized by the
liberal party were not even those free
and open ones to which we have every
right Our meetings were held in en-.
closed buildings. Those who came tc
them were invited, but the police
threw out our doorkeepers, put in their
own and let enter whOmsoever they
the police. wanted to be present al
our meetings.
at is a denial of every constitu-
tional liberty. You yourself have wit
messed with what patience We liberals

submitted for months to government

moment has come when the position Of
the highest functionary, which every
king of the Hellenes ought to occupy,
must so strictly be defined that it will
forever be impossible to raise again
the question of the divine right of
kings in Greece; it will forever be i'm
possible for any government hiding be-
hind the person of the sovereign to
arrogate to itself rights which reside
only in the whole Hellenic people.
Understand me- l am not talking
in any sense of the possibility of a re-
public in Greece. l insist only on our
rights-our constitutional rights-our
rights as free people which ourselves
we have gained by the force of arms
and which we have no intention to
abandon"

MAN DISCOVERED

Adam EkStrand, Davenport Carpenter,
Found Fatally Injured Sunday

PARTIALLY REGAINS HIS SENSES
But He Is Unable TO Explain How He

Adam Ekstrand, Davenport carpen-

the crew of bridge line car on the
draw of the government bridge Sun
day morning at l o'clock. died at 6
last night at Mercy hospital in that
city. Although Ekstrand partially re-

he came TO be injured or just what
happened to him.

injuries. The Davenport po-
lice at first believed that Ekstrand had
been slugged by yeggs, with robbery
as the motive, but the theory is now
that he was struck by pass
ing automobile or street car while
walking home across the bridge.
Ekstrand left his home early Satur-
day evening, stating that he was going
downtown 10 do some shopping. AL
though no one saw him on the Illinois
side. it is evident that he came to Rock
Island. Ekstrand had not been lying
on the bridge more than half an
hour when found. as a car had passed
at that time. His body was lying di-
rectly across the tracks and the motor
man just stopped his car in time to
prevent running over the man.
viii Remain Mysterys
He was rushed to the Davenport po-
lice station and after an examination
was taken to the hospital. He re
NAMED unconscious until shortly be
fore his death. Just how Ekstrand
came to he injured or whether there
was foul play connected with his case
will probably never be known. An in
quest will be conducted tomorrow
evening.
Ekstrand was married and leaves a
wife and six children. He was known
as a respected citizen and a man of
regular habits Ekstrand was a car
penter by trade and worked at the
Gordon & Van Tine company as cabinet
maker. Ekstrand lived at 935 Grand
avenue.

the only way to get this mixture was
to make it at home, which is mussy

can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as 1t does It so naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft

your hair, taking one small strand at
a time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, thick and glossy.
