Those who have the funeral in
charge have made a study of the old
customs for such occasions and no ef-
fort is to be spared in this last tribute
of all the people to the dead queen. -
In this connection it is interesting
to note the customs of old time for
royal funerals and the organizations
that took part in the procession AL
ways the procession followed the same
route, out of the palace grounds to
King street, along King to Nuuanu
and up Nuuanu to the mausoleum.

90, 1891, that announced the death OF
King Kalakaua and the taking over OF

A SLOW RELIEF JOB.

The one thousand or more American citi-
xens whose dangerous situation at Beirut was
commented upon the other day are still
stranded at that uncomfortable point at the
mercy of the Turkish hospitality. Their fate.
In the event of break between the United
States and Turkey, is not pleasant subject
for speculation
At Alexandria are the United States cruiser
Des MONIES and the naval collier Caesar, car
rying supplies for the Syrans and Armenians-
The supplies were destined to Jaffa, and the
expectation was that the American ships
would proceed at once to Beirut to pick up the
American refugees. The long delay at Alex
andria is not officially explained, but it is sus-
pected that Germany and Turkey are respon-
sible, Germany refusing to guarantee safety
from mines and submarines in the Medlter
ranean, Turkey Withholding guarantee o.
safety for the ships while in Turkish waters.
In the meantime communication with Beiru.
is difficult, and thousand Americans are
waiting They have no chance to complain
Remembering the failure of the government +
protect American citizens in Mexico, doubles:
they are badly frightened.

TAKING DANGEROUS CHANCES.

During the winter death claims heavy
toll of needless automobiles at railroad cross
ings The use of autos In winter time is be-
coming more general. The danger of accidents
at crossings is increased in the winter when
drivers have their ears bundled up and side
curtains down OF course it is expected that
under such conditions more care viii be eSer-
cised in approaching railroad tracks. Unfor-
tunately such is not the case In many instances.
Since the advent of the auto crossing accidents
have increased by leaps and bounds, and it
is not surprising to learn that of the thirty
five people killed and 1oS injured at railroad
crossings in Iowa, in 1916, a little over sixty
per cent. were occupants of automobiles.
In Iowa, at the present time, one person ont
of each eleven owns automobile. This &C
centuates the menace of the rail crossing acct
dent Have we in our midst new disease that
might be termed Crossing Maniac Mr..
Chauffeur. here is question for you: Is it
consistent, or half way safe, to trust to the
much admired ''burst of speed'' to take you
over the crossing ahead of fast moving
train7 You have eyes and ears that will save
YOU if you will only use them. You have a
brain to direct your movements. You have
sometimes acted against its cautonarv prompt
ings. The fact that you have so far escaped
cannot safely be relied upon for future like re-
suits. If your auto had brains it could save
itself.
The reckless man who takes a sporting
chance of beating the train over, the crossing
is not the only offender. There is another
candidate for destruction. and we viii call him
'.Mr. Needless In describing him we would
not picture a dull fellow. He is dull only in
spots-in places. perhaps would be better. and
the particular place where we will view him is
at the railroad crossing. There he seems
oblivious to danger. But if you form the opin-
ion that he doesn t value his life that is where
YOU make a mistake. Really and truly. this
man sits down alone. at times, and wonders
whether to him. perchance, win be granted the
boon of long life and happy old age. And he
