Forum Editor.
OFFER TO VIVISECTlONlSTS.-
l have read With considerable inter
est the numerous articles for and
against the practice of vivisection
which have been printed in your val
liable paper recently.
Life is too short to enter into a
newspaper discussion of this matter
as to the merits of properly conduct
ed YiviseCtiOn.
In the last analysis, do claim that
the methods employed in the practice
Of vivisectiOn as practiced in the
medical schools and colleges of this
country are such that, if the facts
were known to the public, they would
tear down the buildings in which
such unspeakable CTuelties are per-
petTated.
It is a simple matter for the adYO-
Gates of vivisection to disprOve this.
Let them give free access to their
clinics. Let them, instead Of sur
rounding the places in which these
animals are operated on with every
precauton to prevent strangers from
entering, permit outsiders to have
free access to them and throw them
open to the public.
I hereby challenge the advocates
of vivisection in Chicago to allow
committee to be selected from among
the prominent citizens of this city
to visit the places in which the ami
mails used for viviseCtion purposes
are kept and to be allowed to come
to the so-caIled demonstrations Of
animal experimentation at any time
they may so desire. If these kind
hearted gentlemen who sympathize
so keenIy with the sufferings of their
unfortunate victims are doing this
work for the cause of science as it
should be done they need not fear in

Failed to Make Good

Last Sunday afternoon the passers
by on the Koloa road saw crowd
gathered by the road side near the
Publ camp evidently intent on some
unusual interest. A closer exami-
nation revealed the fact that Jap
anese laborer, outfitted with a rope
and ladder was preparing to hang
himself to nearby telephone pole,
and was only waiting till he got a
big enough crowd to 60 ahead with
the show.
Various emotions were betrayed
by the onlookers; some. were very
such alarmed, while some were
moved only to mild indifference.
1t is said that the mans wife
was the least concerned of all per
haps she know that it was all
bluff; or perhaps her only fear was
that he wouldn't do it.
However that may be, he didn't.
The crowd melted away; he took
his rope and his ladder and went
home; but everything is still avail

A WANTON TRAGEDY
IN L|HUE CAMP

A most repreEensible tragedy
happened about 5 O'Clock Thursdsy
morning in the japanese Camp,
Lihue, when one Azuma Kagehiro,
a Hawaiian born japanese killed
his wife and then sought to end his
own life by taking a desc of ant poi
son. They occupied one half of a
double house, and his parents the
other half. Hearing sounds of dis
tress in the upper story the father
tried to get into the up stairs rooms
but found them locked. He finally
got help, procured Il ladder, aud eff
fected an entrance through the up
stairs window, when they found
Azuma's wife lying weltering in
pool of blood, her head having been
battered and mangled by repeated
blows of hammer. She was alone
with the baby, but Azuma was af-
terwards found in the kitchen
writhing from the effects of the
poison, which he had taken. They
were both taken to the hospital
where the woman died shortly after.
The man, though still alive at lat

Red Cross Activity
AT The Coast

Mrs. Wishard, who is just back
from the Coast, reports that We
aren't in it at all in the matter OF
Red Cross activity and War enthu-
siasm, along with the people at the
Coast. There, it isn't a matter OF
one day week, but all the time,
and everywhere, and under all cir
cumstances; ;-on the street, in the
cars, on the ferries, in the social
call, at meals, at public affairs, in
church, at concerts, everywhere
and always people are working on
Red Cross supplies. For a while
the university students kept at it
during recitations and lectures, but
finally the professors ruled it out
on account of the disturbing click
of the needles.
All the principal department
stores have regular Red Cross De-
partments, where whole section.
or a whole floor, is given up to Red
Cross interests. All necessary sup
plies are available there and a Red
Cross expert is in waiting, "a train
ed nurse or other representatives
to give instruction and assistance
to any who need it.
Any one who comes in may sit
down and do Red Cross work of
any one of the various kinds as long
as convenient, and t h e finished
work is taken care Of and forward
ed to the proper headquarters.
They are no longer making band
ages and the simpler things, but
now they are mostly working on
sets of outfit, consisting of sixteen
different articles, containing among
other things, two suits of pajamas,
cotton and wool, a sweater, nigh
tingale, night shirts, bath robe,
etc. These thing are all made up
into standard packages. ready to be
given out.
zone Of the most difficult things to
get made is wooden socks for the
aviation corps. They must be alb
+solutely smooth and free from lump
or crease or darn. Comparatively few
women these DAYS are able to knit
these socks and do it right; it is the
lost art of our grandmothers. The
handmade are much better than
the machine made: they last much
longer.

Sundays game at McBryde be-
tween the home team and Koloas
was fast and snappy. The McBryde
played clever fielding game and
combined with the masterful pitch
ing of Nobuto held the Koloas down
to one run and three hits. Nobuto
worked in big league style and had
the Koloas at his mercy. His BROTH
er Nobuichi, behind the bat caught
a good game. A. Perreira at first
was one of the bright spots of the
game. He fielded like veteran
and his one handed catch was a
treat. Takeuchi and Spalding also
PLAYED a stellar game at short and
second. Takeuchi knocked down a
liner from Almeidas bat which was
good for a hit. Dol, the heet-foot-
ed left fielder of the McBryde was
Johnny on spot as fly chaser. He
raced over to center in the third
inning and caught Waialeale fly,
and again in the seventh, he robbed
Andrade of his hit which looked
like sure homer. The rest of the
boys also played well and deserve
recognition. A.. Refs who was on
the firing line in the first inning
for the Koloa was yanked out in
one-third inning after hitting a man
walking one and making two wild
pitches. Mltsu came to the rescue
and pitched a good game but their
inability to hit the ball safely suffer-
ed defeat which meant much to
them. Score, McBryde 10, Koloa 1.

F|L|P|NOS ATTEMPT
TO K|DNAP WOMAN

On Tuesday night last, four Fill
pinos belonging to the Kapahi
homesteads, walked into the house
Of one Mariana, a Filipino, in Kea-
liza, and while two of them covered
Mariana with revolvers the other
two grabbed Mariano's wife and
carried her into waiting automo-
bile just outside the house. When
the two men who held the guns
turned to follow their companions,
Mariana made a rush at them. One
Of the gun men. Guam Gamboa by
name, turned and opened fire on
Mariana, hitting him in the thigh.
A crowd quickly gathered at the
sound of the shooting, and taking
in the situation, rushed the des-
peradoes, who, realizing their game
was up, released the woman, and
fed in the machine.
Juan Gamboa, who did the shoot
ing, and two of the other men came
to Lihue where they were later iden-
titled by officer Cobacha and placed
under arrest. The other man sur
rendered himself to the police at
Kealia.
The wounded man was taken to
the hospital at Kealia where it was
found that his wound was not of a
very serious nature.
Gamboa has been charged with
assault with a dangerous weapon
The other men will have to stand
trial on charge of attempted kid
mapping.

Don't Neglect to Report

In regard to the matter of vital
statistics, referred to in our last is
sue; 1T is imperative that births,
deaths and marriages be promptly
reported to the local agent of the
Board of Health, generally the Doc
tor. Failure to do so exposes the
negligent to the liability of legal
penalty. This report should be
made by those most nearly concern
ed-and should be made promptly.
We fancy that there is a good
deal of neglect in this matter es-
pecially in regard to births and a
mong the last intelligent classes,
mainly because of entire ignorance
of the requirement.

More TLan His Share

w. G. Roland surely gets more
than his share of auto mishaps.
A few week ago he was the victim
of disaster with his motorcycle
which deprived him of most of the
fingers of his left hand, and now
he has been run into by a Filipino
car and pretty badly banged up.
The accident happened near
Kilauea. The Filipino rounding
curve with too much speed on, and
monopollzing the most of the road,
there was no alternative left for
Roland and his motorcycle but
collision.
This again emphasized the neces-
sity for care in rounding curves,
and the importance of being on the
right side of the road.

The Community Nurse
And What She Finds

Miss Kuhlig the new district nurse
has been here long enough to begin
to become familiar with the condi-
tons, and to realize, in some meas
ure at least, the lines of most
necessary service to the community
on the part of trained nurse The
following is the outcome of an in
formal interview few days ago.
She finds that it will be, by all
means, the most feasible to work
out from the schools as the best
way to get hold of the children and
through them of the home. Also
through the children the coming
generation is being helped, in the
formative stage, rather than the
departing in fixed and unrecep-
tive stage.
She has been devoting her at
tention for the last few days to the
receiving room of the Lihue school,
down near the mill. Here, as a
sample, in a room of 70 children,
25 are seriously affected with ring
worm, a contagious disease, and
one with scabies, or itch, much
more serious contagious disease.
The prevalence of these diseases in
a crowded school means that the
whole lot of children are subject to
the infection.
Immediate measures are taken to
treat the disease, and to segregate
the children, generally by keep
ing them at home for few days,
until the danger Of infection has
passed away. The nurse accom-
panios the children to their homes
and naugurates the treatment and
explains the same to the mother.
Another crying evil that calls for
prompt attention in these schools
is the matter of unclean heads.
Some of them are fairly swarming
A few thorough treatments with
kerosene will generally cure the
trouble, but it needs to be followed
up for some time to make sure that
there will be no recurrence
Defective teeth is an almost uni
versal condition among the chill,
dren here. in the case of this par.
ticular lot of children, 70 of them,
practically every one of them has
defective teeth, many of them in
very bad shape. The children need
professional attention. To be sure
most of them are first teeth, but
decayed and defective first teeth,
mean defective second teeth and
mis-shapen mouths; a life inheri.
tance of defect and suffering.
The causes of these conditions
are perhaps unsuitable food, in
condensed milk nutrition in
infancy perhaps; but mainly it is
a matter of simple neglect. Many
of the children have never had q
thing done for them in the way ot
the care of the teeth. g,
The treatment, of course, should
involve the two lines of present
remedy, and preventive care fol
the future.
AS a rule Miss Kuhlig finds g
very ready spirit of cooperation or
the part of the parents as soon as
they realize that it is all in the in
terest of their children; of course il
requires some tact and some pa,
tience to convince them of this.
