HILO PLATOON
CAN'T Be FORMED
Especial s.ar-Buus.,n Correspondence


HILO, Sept. 24.-Although the
whole hearted enthusiasm displayed
in the formation of local Japanese
platoon, to be attached to the national
guard, has not entirely fizzled out, 1t
has to a great extent. Such was the
information disclosed yesterday by
f. Arakawa, organizer of this move
ment.
Arakawa said that of the 40 young
men who had siGnified their inten-
ton of joining a local military body,
only 30 attended the medical exam
Iination. and of this number failed
to pass, leaving the force Il strong.
1t being impossible to have a sepa-
rate platoon without, at least, mem.
bership of forty, the idea had to be
abandoned. and of those who passed
the medical examination eleven have
joined DR.. A. T. Rolls medical corps
while the balance went IN with the
regular national guard unit.
Despite this somewhat unsatisfac-
tory state Of affairs, Arakawa is still
determined to form separate pla-
toon. He is canvassing among the
young japanese of the community for
additional men to join up. and should
he succeed, complete Japanese pla.
toon will be formed at later date

FIRELESS WATER HEATER
INVENTED BY JAPANESE

A "fireless" water heater is a novel
invention recently perfected by S.
karasuda, a storekeeper at Kappa,
Kauai, after two years of hard effort
to revolutionize the Japanese baths
with a perfect water heater which
needs little fuel and expense to pro-
Guce the hot water. He is going to
secure patent for his invention from
the United States government.
According to the announcement
made by the Japanese inventor as
published in the Nippu Jill yesterday,
his invention is so perfect that the
suns days do the work of the fuel
in producing the hot water, just as
the sun heater does, yet it differs en-
tirely from the sun heater. When
the day is cloudy, he added, a quart
of kerosene oil, as fuel, will easily
produce 20 gallons of the hot water
in his unique invention.
The Japanese are noted for their
hot water baths which they take
every day on returning from their
work or before retiring. In almost
all of the plantations are baths con-

OF crime TO wake lovers up and
OPen their eyes to what their be-

cruelty which is the favorite indoor
sport of most families. and when one
hears mothers criticizing their daugh-
ter-in-law TO their sons, and their
son-inlaw to their daughters, one
wonders that they never realize that

them and making them see those TO

OF all the pink chiffon Of romance
which had made them beautiful and
desirable.
And still more curious Is it that
married people do not walk softly IN
the domestic life for fear of waking
UP their husbands and wives. For
we'll they know that all martial hap

being mesmerized. None OF US have

M'KINLEY HIGH
CROWDED; MANY
TURNED AWAY

With every bit of room taken, and
every seat and desk filled with pupils,
Mckinley High school is facing a sit
uation which is unprecedented. The
school has total enrolment of over
500 students gathered from all parts
OF the territory. M. M. Scott, princi-
pal. said this afternoon that although
the institution was crowded to over
flowing, the teachers we're able to
handle the students without much
trouble.
Mr.. Scott explained the unusual con-
ditions, and pointed out how he was
seeking to remedy the trouble. 1t ap-
pears that any pupil who receives a
diploma or certificate from an eighth
grade in any grammar school in the
territory is entitled to enter McKin.
lev High school, and in this way hun
dreds of pupils whose legal residence
is on one of the other islands, seek
to enter the local institution. Because
of the unusual number of pupils who
attempted to enter the high school
this term, Mr.. Scott f'Irned away a
great number of young people from
Hawaii, Maui and Kauai. He notified
them that they would have to enter
the local institutions of the same rank
in their own districts. A high school
is now being erected on Kauai.
At present, however, while the high
school is crowded to capacity, the pu-
pills are receiving just as good atten-
ton as they would under ordinary con-
ditions. In fact, stated Mr.. Scott, the
large number in attendance makes
more competition and the pupils must
work harder. --.--

works the cure. The illustration
shows a girl, such as have recent

would never be we'll again, since q
nesvy weight had fallen on her
stomach and hips when she was
seventeen years old, and she became
partially paralyzed. However, she
cured herself, and this was the way
she did It. She laid perfectly Fat
on her back and grew very quiet,
then she began to take deep
breaths, with her mind directed to
this drawing in life's oxygen, till
her even and deep breathing made
the whole body tingle with warm
blood. Next, she would place her
hands on the afflicted parts of her
body Gust to further her theories of
building her own healthy and then,
by so concentrating her mind on
her weakened parts, she would
affirm to herself, This pure, life

The HYPNoTIsM OF LOVE
BY DOROTHY DIX
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman
Writer

\ MAN has just been sent to the
~ Penitentiary to serve a stiff term
- because lie ADVERTISED that he
would teach people how to hypnotic
the objects OF their affections. so hat
they might win whomsOever they de-
sreu as mates or bring back any rec
reant lover to the fold.
The government held that this was
a fraudulent advertisement made with
intent TO deceive. and calculated TO
separate the lOvelOrn from their coin
without giving them even a run for
their money.
Perhaps SO. Perhaps no other
human being can teach a man or
woman how to weave potent and
compelling spells about the desired
one, but, as a matter of fact, what is
love except hypnotism? Only tie
curious part of it is that in love we
do not hypnotic the party of the
other part. We are victims of self
hypnotism.
None of us falls in love with an.
other for what the individual really
is. We are enamoured OF what we
imagine him or her to be.
Every youth and maiden who is in
love will deny this. Edwin will tell
you that he has made the most minute
study Of Angelina's character, and
that the reason he thinks that she is
an angel is because he has seen her
wings-that he knows her to be a
paragon Of virtue, model of anna
bility, pattern of domesticity, and
altogether perfect.
Angelina will assure you that it is
impossible that she could be de-
Ceived in Edwin because she knowS
from her own observation that he
is the wisest, bravest, strongest, mob
lest, most generous man in the world.
If you should tell Edwin, as we
who are Edwin's mothers and sisters
and female cousins sometimes ara
rash enough to do, that Angelina is an
exceedingly commonplace young
woman, with a raspy temper and a
prediction for coming down to break
fast in a slouchy wrapper and curl
papers, and that she is accustomed to
lie on a lounge and eat chocolate
creams and read novels while her
mother does the housework, he would
not believe a word of it and would
set it down to malicious envy and
spite.
Nor could Angelina be induced to
give credit to the statement that her
Edwin's employer and fellow clerks
regard him as a mere ordinary youth
who is considerable Of a bore, and
who will never rise above being d
floor walker in dry goo1s store.
and that among themselves they
laugh at him for being a tin horn"
sport.
Now Edwin has not consciously
tried to deceive Angelina or to make
her think that he is something that
he is not. He has not purposely posed
before her as a hero of romance and
assumed qualities that lie did not
possess in orde.' to win her young
affections.
Neither is Angelina deep, design
ing adventures who has affected
charms that do not belong 10 her by
right, to win Edwin's heart
The deception is from within, net
from without. The nan and woman

So long as Angelina hangs with
awe on every word that Edwin utters
and so long as she see in him roman

on worshipping him as the one perfect
man and congratulating herself upon
her luck in getting him.
Thoro in life in fine DlpaS

Analyze it and the finest picture be,
comes a daub of paint the best play
is nothing but men and women mouth
ing among canvas trees and houses;
the gold of lily becomes mere insect

Love is like this. Tear from it the
halo of ramance; take self deception
away from it, and the thing that rs
left is so poor, so mean and tawdry,
so marred by faults and blemisnes
that we wonder that it could have at

This is why married people should
never let themselves discuss the
faults and idiosyncrasies of their hUs-
bands and wives with anyone, or even
permit themselves to indulge in the
fascinating amusements of viviseCtion
the characters and appearance of the
partners of their bosoms.
The minute Mr. Smith begins to
question in his mind whether his
Maria's nose is really straight or a
little lop sided. and to wonder
if her artless conversation is the
naivete of extreme youth or merely
the lack of brains, that minute Mr..
Smith begins to come out from under
the trance of love into which he has
put himself, and his salvation lies In
his making another pass or two before
his eyes and sinking back again into
a state of romantic dreams.
And if this is true OF men it IS
doubly true of women. A woman's
happiness depends upon her recltlng
