ECHOES

Comments and Slams
Made in Fun

Among the most enthrafling
things that ever has struck the gen.
tie scientist is to learn from Mr..
Brammer that Mahlon Walk and
Dick Holcomb at the Y. Bible class
banquets can eat 5 dishes of dried
beef.
Furthermore that Mahlon always
puts an ample supply Of bread in
his pockets.
Also Parrot Groves can swallow
twelve inches Of fairy" sticks in
one gulp.
Another thing that seems too
good to hear is that Kenneth Whit

it and ran into the yard.

she said, what yo' all doin' wifi

Peter didn't move and just then
someone was heard on the stairs,
and back ran Aunt Dinah to her
ironing.
1t was the little girl coming back
to see that everything was done for
the day, and off came the coat from
Peter in hurry, and into the box
it was put with the other furs.
Then the ironed clothes were put
away in the bureau drawers and all
the work was finished, and as Mrs.
Dollington was tired out and SO
was Aunt Dinah, all were put in
their beds, even Peter, for there
were two rooms right under the at
tic for the servants.
Marjory and Roy had been dress
ed in the morning before the clean
ing began and sent to school at the
other side of the room, with their
books under their arms, and no one
had given them thought when all
the others were put in bed Even
Father Dollington had gone to the
other side of the room to his office
and he had not been thought of.
When the playroom was quiet,
Mrs. Dollington slipped out of bed
and looked out of the bedroom win

And in few minutes in came

there, and she never knew that
Aunt Dinah really locked out for
the Dollington family better than
anyone else, but all old aunties do

do.

tress.
A little fur coat was taken in the
yard and given good shaking, and
a little muff and a cunning fur hat
with stick upon the side.
Mrs. Dollington was very proud
of her furs, for no acquaintance of
hers had such furs as she possess
ed.
Then Aunt Oman took fur-lined
coat of Mr.. Dollington and hung it
on the line, and Peter was told he
must beat it.

satisfaction of the little girl who
was playing clean house that morn

Peter gave the coat a beat or two
with his stick and then he put it
on, for he had many times looked
with envy on his master as he went
out dressed in his handsome fur
lined coat. Having put on the coat
Peter sat down and leaned against
the side of the house and went to
sleep.

dren's winter coats, for they each
had nice warm coat, and Marjory
had a velvet bonnet, while Roy
wore a velvet cap.
All these were put away in a lit
tie box with tiny bits of camphor
tucked around them and put in the
attic, for right under the roof was
a place for boxes and little pals,
and even a box for the winter drap-
cries.

THE poLL,NoToN FAMILY
Part ~


It was very busy day In the
Dollington house. Aunt Dinah was
to wash and iron, and her mistress
was to look over the clothes and
see that they were put away nicely,
for the summer was coming and
their summer clothes must be TAX
en- out and the winter ones put
away.
Aunt Dinah put out the clothes
line. There was a hook on one
corner of the house to fasten it and
two posts which could be put in the
floor-I mean the ground-which
held the line nicely in place and
made plenty of room for Aunt Din
all to hang her clothes.
Peter was Gu the other side of
the house with stick in his hand
and rug on the grass, looking ev-
cry minute as if he intended to beat
the rug and make the dust fly.
Aunt Dinah looked at him to see
that he vas not near enough to get
her clothes covered with dust, and
then she went into her tubs.
Two tubs were built in her kitch-
en-, and into these Dinah put the
little white pieces she had to wash
and then out on the line she hung
them with tiny little clothes pins,
and the wind blowing in through
the window made them sway just
like real clothes on a real clothes
line in the yard.
Then Dinah cleaned up her kitch-
en-; she put on clean apron and

REASON AND TRAFFIC LAW

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: 1t may be taken without ques
tion that 80 per cent of those who own
and drive automobiles have no desire
to violate the traffic laws; that they
try to protect others as we'll as them
selves in the use of the streets, and il
may be taken as fact that there is
10 per cent of the drivers of automo
biles that have no respect for traffic
laws or any other laws or for the
rights and safety of others.
That the 80 must be subject tC
great inconvenience and danger frcs,l
the 10 seems to be a fact also. Not
one of the 80 object to such traffic
laws as will punish the reckless dFiv
er who exercises no care for the
rights and safety of others, but the
80 do feel that there should be some
discretion used in dealing with this
question.
For instance, a we'll known, law
abiding citizen is out in his car in the
evening and the tail light of his car
suddenly goes out. If he tries to
drive to the nearest garage to get a
new light he will be arrested; if he
leaves his car without the light and
tries to get to garage on foot to get
a new light he will be arrested for
leaving his car without lights; he is
in fact, between the devil and the
deep sea.
Now this is something that might
happen at any time to any person. If
this unfortunate citizen is a person
who has not been known as a reck'
less law breaking driver, why not for
the first offense stop the car, tell the
man or woman that the car was not
lighted according to law, take the
name of the party, the date and tell
them to get to a garage or get home
by the most direct way and sin no
more? Should the same party be
caught in this fix the second time go
for them the same as at present for
the first offense.
Again, if the public are to have re-
spect for the traffic law. do not pull
persons in and subject them to a fine
for using their auto or motorcycle in
the same condition as the officers
who make arrests use their cars. This
gets most anyone's goat. Again, if an
officer whose duty it is to see the

How many in this far off corner of the world appre-
ciate the full extent of that undertaking?
Never in the history of the world did any nation
have such gigantic task that which this govern
