Some people have a very strange and
altogether dishonest way of determin-

deduct taxes. house rent and living
expenses. and then 1.-THE tho balance;
and. 1t often happens that. after all
these rake-offs. there is very little
loft to tithe. Such a method is GER

bring 1.-The whole tithe" into the store

honestly with God in this matter. Our

Brady Made and it is so very import ant because it tells the true story of the Russian revolution and the fall of the Romanoffs. The production is re- markedly effective scenically. Neither time nor money has been spared to get the best possible results and in the construction of one street which appears in several of the scenes over $10,000 was expended. Rasputin's dra- matic rise to the point where he be- came the real power behind the Rus sian throne, his hypnotic power over women and his abuse of this power, his attempts to make Russia enter upon separate peace with Germany and his final startling death are told in thrilling interesting manner in this great production. Interpreting the picture is supreme cast headed by the following notable stars: Montagu
 Love, June Elvidge, Arthur Ashley, Julia Dean, Irving Cummings and Hur-
 bert Wilke.

 In "Madcap iMadge' Olive Thomas appears as Madge Flower the daugh- ter Of wealthy broker. she is a. wholesome, mischievous girl who gets expelled from young ladies' fin ishing school so she can join her mother and elder sister at Palm Beach.

 Those appearing in the support of Miss Thomas are Charles Gum, Dor cas Matthews, Jack Livingston, J. Barney Sherry and others. The pro duction was directed by Raymond w. West.

A PRESENT OF BLOOD.

Hot Springs, Oct. 19.-Solomon Le- vine, a soldier from the Army and Navy hospital here, tonight gave his blood that life might be spared to William Faust, an entire stranger to him. This morning the story was printed that William Faust, peanut vendor, was at the Leon Levy hos- pital, suffererer from disease which had wasted his blood so that it would be impossible to save his life unless there could be transfused into his body a pint or more of the blood of some healthy young man. A dozen volunteers from the Army and Navy hospital offered. Tests were made until Levine was reached. The blood of the others had been "unfriendly."

 her. George Wallace and d drunken
 German are drawn into the fight and
 the German knocks George down.
 Robert has been watching the scene,
 and his sense of justice is at last awakened. He vanquishes the Ger

 he goes to enlist in the service for
 which he has won his first fight. Robert comes home on brief leave
 of absence prior to sailing for ] France. Smiling through her tears the young wife bids him farewell,
 guarding a precious secret She did l not tell him because he wil! need all his courage at the front. Margaret Wallace has made her sacrifice for her country. She is determined that her family shall not contain one stacker.

This year, that all the Septenbe Der
races were 20 be open ines.
Captain Pepin sail that in his eyes
the committee was bound by the ar
engagements made to meet only half
my expenses. He was not able to re-
main for the remainder of the meet
ing.
Mrs. Leo took exception to some
statements attributed to. me in the
local papers. replied that my
statements were according to fact,
that if they had been controverted or
misunderstood l was very sorry, but
disclaimed responsibility.
Mr.. Andrews said he understood
from a signed article of mine in a
San Francisco paper that l was COM
ing to Honolulu anyway, whether /
was wanted or not. explained that
nv statement was to the effect that
7 was coming ANYWAY. regardless OF
Mr. Rawlins' statements that I would
rot be allowed to swim, as / De-
ieyed thu he was either speaking
WI. out authority, Or at least ill-ad-
visedly. ,
further went on to explain how
7 happened to come to the ISLANDS.
Not having heard from the offleE Is
here, and the date of the meet ap
nroaching near, l went to the president
of the Olympic Club and told him that
there was a, big meet to DE held IN
Honolulu; THAI wanted to go; that |
had not heard from the officials yet,
hut that | had been assured that the
neople of Honolulu wanted to see me
swim again, and that there was very
likely some good reason for my not
being invited which woult come 10
light | said was quite sure that my
exnenses would be taken care OF, as
was usual, but merely wanted an as
surance that l would go, so | could
train with that in view. He told me
to 90 ahead, that the club was oehlnd
me. 1t was a report of this talk Whlch
Mr.. Rawlins read and which le' MIN
to think it would not be necessary to
paw my expenses, or even invite me.
He told ME in his office here that 1t
was a business proposition; that If he
could get me to swim for nothing or
for half expenses, of course he would.
T replied that | did not think such
action fair.
The War Cloud
Mr. Rawlins then complained of the
unfair treatment he had received in
the papers. saying that false impress
sions had been caused to Grise from
my statements. l said | would surely
try and correct such impressions when
the cause for them ceased to exist;
when l received fair treatment would
see that he got the same. Ills reply
was that he would not bargain.
At yesterdays meeting he brougHt
This up, in a l-graudiloquent MAJ
ner he declared ne would not be
bought, yet five minutes Iater when
the committee decided to stand my ex-
penses, he made the stat .ment that
now he thought 1t was up to me to
straighten things out for him.
Mrs Leo one Of the ladies nroeerf

said that If was a gentleman would
lift the stigma which had been cast
upon the Association. / said that il
was my intention to pr sent both sides
as fairly as possible. In few minutes
Mrs. Leo made a motion that someone
Of the committee be appointed to see
the papers and give them true report
of the meeting. Mr. Jackson objected
to this as diseourteous to ne.
Mr.. Andrews said that IN view of the
fact that he had wired Mr.. Rawlfns
in San Francisco to bring me, and that
it was his intention that my expenses
should be paid, he could Sc no reason
why they should not be. Mr.. Soper
concurred. Mr.. Jackson put the mo.
tion, which was seconded by Miss
Stacker, and carried. Mr.. RawIins
then said that he wanted it under.
stood that he was at no time against
paying my expenses. -.
He further went on to say that he
wanted the whole mess cleaned I'D, so
that when anyone went back to the
states there would not be a fuss raised
there. So this Is my attempt to clean
the thing up satisfactorily. The main
point now is for all to wor!; together
to make the swimming meet a real
success.

Games on Sunday.
At the meeting last evening it wa!
announced that the Pirates woult
play the 25th Infantry at SchofielC
on Sunday, providing that this ar
rangement was satisfactory to Man
ager Carr and the All-Stars. The 25tt
Infantry had a series scheduled witt
the Stars, but inasmuch as Henry Chill
lingworth is unable to play, and the
fact that peace has been restored
Lang Akana said this morning tia
the Stars would be willing to give Ut
this game. II this arrangement is sat
isfactory to Manager Carr of the 18th

Of the league series.
The 1st-32nd will meet Fort RugeI
at Moiliili Field on Sunday in the
first game of the series, providing the
arrangement Is made with Manager
Carr. The Chinese win lay off. this
Sunday. The Pacific League will con

1t might. be said that If these ag
gregations can get together and give
the fans the best baseball possible
without haggling. the reorgan
lied Oahu-Service League will make >
big success. This is the one important
point to be taken into consideration
and if followed out, prospects appear
unusually bright for the future of the
national pastime.
