tion are as famous in their respective
roles as is Marie Horgan. The pro-
duction of Little Women" also brings
to this city folks fully as prominent
in the theatrical world and among the
highest salaried folks on he stage
today
Little Women
The house in which Louisa NJ. Al
colt was reared in Concord, Massa-
chusetts, was recently purchased by
the municipality and glass frame
has been built around a portion Of a
window sill where 10" who was real
~ the Louisa Alcott herself, had writ
zen her name years and years ago.
Such is the esteem in which the writer
Of the sweet and wholesome American
play Of home life is held.
1t took Jessie Bonstecle eight years
to secure the consent of the Alcott
family to dramatize Little Women.
Everything about the book was nat
urally hallowed to the Alcotts. Aunt
Louisa's masterpiece was more than a
financial heritage to them. 1t was a
legacy and shared with family tradi-
tions and memories too sacred to be
presented to the public. But Miss
Bonsteele's family convinced them that
the spirit in which she wished t. pro-
duce the play was one of entire rev.
ercnce. In presenting this play to the
chautauqua patrons the spirit of pur-
ity and wholesomeness which per-
meate the story will be in no wise les
sened.
There are ID people presenting this
drama, including nearly all who scored
such a tremendous success in its pro-
duction in New York last winter. The
first three acts show the Marsh sitting
room. an exact reproduction of the
Alcott sitting room in Concord, where
the story of Little Women" was real
ly lived and where a part Of the book
was written. The fourth act is in the
apple orchard at Plumfeld in harvest
time, a veritable golden harvest home,
when all the love stories are finished.
The Alcott family has preserved many
of the costumes and properties which
are used in the production, even to
JOS russet boots, which, according to

She weighs 23O pounds and if the
opera had been written for her it could
not be more fitting. Miss Horgan is
a globe-trotter and is one Of the best
known contralto light opera singers in
the country.
She made her debut when she was
10 years old, and in this same part Of

HOW TO DISTINGUISH POISONOUS
MUSHROOMS
Edible Varieties May Be Easily Iden-
tilted By Remembering Certain
Characteristics

Every season there are a few cases
of mushroom poisoning. In some in
stances the individual is only made
sick, while in other cases the results
are fatal.
1t is difficult to lay down any hard
and fast rules that can be used to dis
tinguish between edible and poisonous
mushrooms. In some cases a species
that may be harmless for one individ-
ual may cause serious digestive dis
turbances in another. There is, how
ever, one group of mushrooms that is
deadly poisonous. This is the group
Of Amanitas. There are number of
species of Amanita, all Of which are
deadly poisonous and several, at least,
of which occur in Colorado. The dead
ly Amanitas have white gills, a ring
about the stem just beneath the cap,
and a cup or scales at the base of the
stem.
Do not place any reliance in the
many popular and traditional tests of
poisonous or edible qualities These
tests are entirely worthless. The dis
coloration of a silver spoon; sinking
in water; or brilliant coloration-are
no indication Of either poisonous or
edible qualities. Furthermore, the no
tion that poisonous mushrooms can
be rendered harmless by boiling in
water and then washing thoroughly
in cold water is erroneous.
One can easily become familiar with
a few edible kinds of mushrooms.
There are many of these sprinGing up
in our lawns, door-yards and along
fences. One may feel absolutely safe
in using all those mushrooms hav-
ing black gills which dissolve with
age into an inky mass. These, of
course, must be eaten before turning
black, but usually several stages Of
ripening will be found in the same
clump or group Of individuals, so that
Identification can be made. Among
these black gill species are the "shag-
gy mane," with more or less bell
shaped, creamy-white cap which be-
comes shaggy, and the "inky-cap,"
growing in dense clusters. These two
are both common in lawns, gardens,
etc, from spring TO autumn and are
among the best Of our edible forms.
All Of the puff-balls are edible, and
excellent if eaten when the flesh is
white and solid.
Mushrooms are sometimes soon at
tackled by worms, and in gathering
those which have perhaps stood long
er than the others it is well to break
off the caps and note whether the
worms have worked their way up
through the stalk into the cap.
The deadly mushrooms are those
which possess the following three
characteristics: % white gills; (2)
ring on the stem just beneath the
cap; and (3) a cup or scales at the
base of the stem.-W. W. Robbins,

Collins, Colo.

CHAUTAUQUA OPENS JULY IA
Lamar Will Have Bigger and Better
Chautauqua Program Than Ever
Before

Hip, Hip, hurrah! This is cheer
year" fer chautauqua in Lamar. Their
are two important reasons. The II.
c. Of L. hasn't struck chautauqua.
While everything else from ca.dy and
calico and cheese and corn cultivaVors
have advanced in price, the chautau
qua season ticket remains 5he same.
That's one reason. The other is that
this is Patriotic year and patriotism
will be the wa.chword on the Ho;Eer
chautauqua system.
Charles f. Horner has a great pur-
pose and motive in every chautauqua
program and the best talent is always
occurred to represent each phace Of tho
different portions of = program vlzch
must be perfectly balanced when COM
pleted. This year there has been q
large shore of the program devoted to
pure fun. There has been a liberal
sprinkling Of messages of inspiration
and encouragement. The thrcnd of
instruction and education runs through
the entire network. Humor is provid-
ed in each and every program. Music
of the heart and home is given as well
as music which stimulates love for
the pure and classical. There is wit.
There is logic. There is food for
thought. There is practical pla for
community development and better
ment. There is a world Of joy, hap
piness, fun and frolic. There is tho
opportunity of meeting and greeting
friends and neighbors. Above all,
there is a drama of heart interest end
an opera Of great magnitude with its
varied appeal.
Patriotism Predominant
Predominant this year will be the
message of patriotism. There arc
patriotic songs which will be sung by
the audience. Flags will be displayed
in profusion. Patriotism will be every
where. Not too conspicuous, of course
but enough to properly bala-ce n
great program and to keep America
and its patriotic principles in the
foreground at time of critical mo-

Marie Horgan as "Buttereup"
New York and Philadelphia folks
pack the theaters every night of
Marie Horgan's appearance in these
cities. The chautauqua has earned
for itself great credit in securing such
a wonderful player and singer to take
the part of Little Buttercup" in the
mammoth production of "Pinafore" to
be given at the local chautauqua this
season. The production of such play
with the same principals who took the
parts in TIC largest cities Of the coun'
trv is a distinct revelation in chautau'

are to be brought here with the SAINT

LITTLE WOMEN

That sweet, simple story, loved
and cherished by its countless read
ers, produced on the chautauqua plat
form in faultless manner. Many lives
have been helped and strengthened by
the book. The wonderful simplicity
and appealing charm are even mag
nifed by the stage production. If the

than this one beautiful play to our

income from the rentals. then turn
the fish markets at King street into

method of tax reduction from the

MAKE THE ROAD PLAN COMPREHENSIVE.

Hawaii demands, needs, must have good roads
and already bills are appearing in the Legislature
calling for large territorial appropriations.
An instance is the s400,OO0 appropriation asked
by Representative Lyman of Hawaii for a highway
from Hilo to the Volcano This is but one Of many
similar bills which the legislature must consider.
The StartRnlletin believes that public sentiment
in the islands generally will uphold 'sstateaid sys
fem for certain main roads which might be desig
mated as ssscenic highways. For Hawaii it must
Of course be the "territorial-aidv system, which
MEANS in brief that certain roads on the individual
islands to be paid for from the territorial funds
IT is recognized that highways such as that from
HilO to the Volcano. or from Kahului to Haleakala
are not merely island assets but are territorial as
sets Promotion work is binding the interests of
the separate islands into one hinge coramon interest
This principle was Endorsed by the 1916 Civic
Convention at Hilo, and the convention formally
asked the governor and the superintendent of public
works to draft out system Of territorial highways,
the emphasis being placed on the need for better
tourist roads
Now that requests for road appropriations are
coming to both houses in disconnected form, it is
timely to find out what has been done with the Civic

GOOD PICTURES VS.. BAD

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin.
S.r; After reading a few articles
Ia regard TO the hula dances. / wish
i 70 add few words in your valuable
/ paper about good pictures and bad
shows during the Carnival week. Many
people had criticized the hula dances
as being not decent, and / symrathize
with those who had sent in articles in
the local papers, and the article pub
hshed in the editorial page of the Star
Bulletin last evening entitled, The
fDegenerated Hula. was right. | have
seen many tourists turn their heads
aside with unhappy faces as the hula
dances at different places were Civ
en-. This showed that the hula dances
were not carried ont in proper way.
Most of the tourists and other visit
ors came here just for the Carnival.
Did they enjoy themselves at the hula
dances and the bad side-shows? No.
Did they enjoy themselves in the
beautiful parades and good pictures at
the University Club and the Pan-Paci-
fic rayiliGn? Yes. Were there any
letters written to the papers praising
the hula and the side-shows? No.
Were there any letters written to the
paper praising the good pictures or
the dioramas? Yes, indeed,
Now, have said enough concerning
the hula, but nothing on the side-shows
during the Carnival week at Aala
park and the place next to the Liberty
theater The shows given at Aala park
or Ioyland were most Indecent; III
fact, much worse than the lowest hula
dances. The shows, were those of
Stella Girls" under the management
Of z. X. Fernandez, representative
in the legislature OF Hawaii. The
shows next to the Liberty we're Just
little better than the former shows.
Thousands of people visited Joyland
during the Carniva. and the tent or
place which drew the largest crowd
was at the tent Of Stellass Girls. Were
they very anxious to pay their good
quarters to see such shows when the
women therein we're half-naked? They
go to the shows because they could
not help bat go in when the photo
grains which were hanging at the en-
trance tempted them. Most of the
tempted ones were minors or students
of local schools. When students go
to such shows. don't you think they
would bring into their minds dirty,
unpleasant and nasty pictures? Mr.
Fernandez, who brought the Stella
Girls over, made a big mistake and had
wronged the young people OF Honolu- !
III. | hope that in the future Carni- |
val shows of this sort will be cut out.
In speaking Of good pictures need
not say much. The paintings at the
University Club from the brush of Mr..
Best were splendid.s The huge dora
mas at the Pan-Payiiion without doubt
were the best seen here for many
moons. Being a student, this is my

q. S. AND WAR TRADE.


The cessation of war orders which gave such an
impetus to prosperity in the United States would
in any event have come ere long as result of the
growing independence Of the Allies in munition
manufacturing. Great Britain was already practi-
eaIy producing an her own munitions and partially
supplying her Allies; while only the other day a
British munition firm made bid for supplying this
government with shells for one of our own dread
noughts at figures much under American prices.
The amount Of this contract was not particularly
important. but the difference in prices was rather
significant in view of the necessity for increasing
our future export trade Less than half of the in
crease in exports during the last fiscal year was
due to munition orders which in the mass constifut
ed only about one-third of our total exports. The
establishment Of peace would reduce recent abnor-
NAL shipments of automobiles horses mules leather
copper ETC., but these losses would be partially off.
set BY increases in cotton petroleum steel products
for reconstruction purposes machinery and the like
What the net losses would be to her export trade,
therefore. It is impossible to estimate, though pres
ent disposition is considerably overestmate them
Our most serious difficulty in maintaining our ex-
port trade will be the high cost Of production in this
country compared with Europe.
