DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 31.-on the
morning after our arrival at Lake Ia
hoe we visited the Indians around the
lake and saw them weaving baskets,
ETC., and priced some of them. They
were from $3.50 to SO each.
There are numerous tents and ho-
tells on all sides of the lake. They
are up-to-date in every way, with mu.
sic and singing during dinner, and
dancing after dinner, or from s to IL
O'Clock in the evening. And there is
fishing for those who care to fish. One
gentleman left the hotel about 6 a. m.
and returned at 10 q. m. with a nice
string of spotted trout. H. T..
The Grove hotel, where we stopped,
is 5000 feet elevation, and it was
pretty cold. The Tallae hotel is about
a quarter Of a mile away from the
Grove. It is much larger, and mod
ern in every way. Nearly everyone
dresses In evening clothes for dinner,
and of course, there is dancing every
night. The hotel has electric lights
and makes its own ice. 1t has pool
and billiard tables free for its pa
irons. 49, :=.-... :: .. g..
The next or second day after ar
irving at Lake Tahoe we automobiled
to the farther side of the lake. There
are several large hotels on that side.
As we were passing garage there
vas a policeman dressed in uniform
blue suit, brass buttons, cap and all,
standing by the side of the road with
his hand up-and the stop" sign was
out, and Mr.. Lewis stopped his car.
He then saw that it was a dummy,
but it was so real that it would fool
almost anyone. 1t was put up by the
owner of the garage to stop automo-
bilists who might be in need of gaso-
line. -.:-.....
Met BY Band
On this trip we met the members
of a brass band. mostly young boys
from Oakland, Cal, on tour, and
that night they gave a concert at the
Tallac hotel, and everyone around
turned out, for they certainly played
fine music. 49,. 49,. .
While at the lake one of our party
wanted her picture taken with an In
dian boy, but it's grandmother OBJ
jected to the boy having his picture
taken. We learned that the Indians
are very superstitious along that line:
that some years ago a child died
shortly after having its picture TAX

Battling Of the Clouds
Seen By Local Man On Maui
E. A. Berndt Views Many Wonderful Sights on Recent Trip
Says Island Possesses Tourist Attractions Which Should
Be Developed Hotel Slopes of the Great
Crater of Haeakaa Among Other Things

That Maui possesses tourist attrac
tions, which are almost unknown
but which could be developed to great
commercial advantage is the belief Of
E. A. Berndt, chairman of the promo
ton committee, who recently made
an extensive trip to that island.
The battling of the Clouds" which
was made famous by Jack London and
the "brocken," a complete rainbow
are two of the unusual natural phe
nomena which were witnessed by
Mr.. Berndt These, he believes, are
sights which alone would be worth
a trip to that island.
See Hawaii first" says Mr.. Berndt
Il have always been strong for Maui
but since this trip l am bubbling
over with enthusiastically possibilf
ties for tourist development are with
out limit.
A real wharf at the Lahaina end
for steamers to tie up to, a belt road
connecting Nahiku and Kailua, no.
tel on the slopes of Haleakala, and
a better realization PLUS plenty of en-
thusiastic effort and desire to market
the commodities will make the Valley
Island one of the strongest attractions
of Hawaii" declared Mr.. Berndt.
Enthusiastically telling of his trip
Mr.. Berndt said:
After the usual visit to old La
haina and Waikiki we passed through
Kahului, Paia, Makawao and then
made for the higher attitudes of Hale

undertaking. The five-mile walk into

men claim grows only in two other
places in the world.
HaIeakaIas Climate
On the slopes of Haleakala almost
any climate can be had ranging from
that of the languid, semi-tropical to
that of the brisk temperate. In the
midst of summer even at IdIewild the
thermometer dropped to "a in the
early morning, going to IS by noon.

culpable of great dereliction because
of their Indifference to the possibili-
ties of hotel in the beautiful Olinda

MOTORISTS URGED
TO SAVE CHICKENS
(By 3. W. TWYMAN)
General Manager Interstate Motor
Company.

During this time of national conser
walton, it is we'll to consider the little
things. It may seem comical on the
face of it to call motorists attention
to one phase Of conservation that every
automobile owner can participate in
but considered from serious stand
, point, this hint or advice is Of par
amount Importance.
Roughly estimated there are over
three million cars in daily use in this
country. Nearly every one of these
cars covers some part of a country
road during each touring season.
In the past there has been much
said by the farmer about the destruc.
ton Of chickens that occurs each year,
and the average remarks of the far,
mer have been anything but compli-
mentary.
1t would be impossible to gather
statistics on the totak number OF
chickens that give up their lives each
year because some motorists are care
less, but for the sake of argument,
suppose one-fifth Of the cars in this
,untry, or 100000, we're responsible
for the death of as many good live
barnyard fowls. This may be high
rate but it will serve to bring out
the point.
Now good chickens are retailing on
an average of IS cents per pound, and
If each of the chickens killed only
weighed one pound, the total value Of
the chickens destroyed would be
$4,000.
A little figuring along this line win
go to show that it is the duty of every
motorist to be as careful on the road
as possible. OF course the motorist is
not wholly to blame, as the farmer
must do his duty by obeying the law
and keep his chickens off the high.
ways. But at the same time the hen
is a peculiar animal. and most farmers
are having about all they can do to
properly harvest and solve the bigger
issues of farm work
If you are driving in the country
remember that you can do your bit"
by making it point to slow down, or
stop if necessary, in order to avoid
spelling for the market so-Ae good,
business-like hen. who not only has a
high face value, but right now is
very important adjunct to our military
scheme of things.

wall will be jolted out of her rut and
this expansion may confidently be
looked for.
The Sunrise
I'VE next turned our attention to
the viewing of a sunrise and sunset
from the top. Much has been said
about this glorious sight but it must
be witnessed under favorable condi-
tons to be really impressive. The
wealth of color, the cloud effect is
beyond words and repays any one
handsomely for all the inconvenience
endured. On an overcast day the con-
trast is the grander particularly when
the trade winds watt freshly over
head which condition emphasizes the
incessant battling of the Clouds first
discovered and made world-famous by
our idolized Jack London
AS long as air currents and mist
exist the battling will continue. Now,
the East bank with its fieeting mass
urged on by the swiftly moving north
east trade winds will rush at the
West bank in warlike madness only
to be hurled in fragments, heartlessly
torn assunder leaving but little i'm
press Of its great effort. Now, the
defending West bank daring outside
Of it's entrenched position makes at
tack on the cumulus vapor, steeling
itself to withstand the speed with
which the intruding enemy hurIs itself
against it. This interesting battle
royal has waged for ages without a.
decision and one can watch by the
hour this fierce combat.

From the strength and thorough

mans and the surrounding glacis and

A young lieutenant with number
of comrades effected an entrance
through ruined houses OF the fortified
village and drove out the German de

What object the Germans could have
had in destroying this relic remains a
mystery. as the castle was useless in
modern warfare. Cardinal Mazarin, dur

to demolsh IL when the castle served as
rallying point for feudalists. Its
