DRAMA At BIJOU

masterpiece, The Barrier" one OF
that novelist's most popular and
strongest contributions to the literary
world Of the twentieth century, will
be portrayed on the screen at the
Bijou theater opening tonight. 1t is
fascinating theme, teeming with the
vivid life of the frozen north, where
might, combined with a quick trigger,
give to the fittest the right to survive.
Honolulans who saw THE Spoilers"
at the Bijou some two months ago will
recall with interest the strength, the
virile descriptive powers and the
wonderfully human touch that Rex
Beach injects into his works.
The Barrier" is the tale Of two
powerful men, enemies for over a
score of years dating back to an in
cident in the states that robbed one
of the principals of the story Of the
love of a good woman and gave her
into the hands of wicked rival. The

In time the old.time rival comes
upon the lair in the gold stampede
and each recognizes the other; the
villain seeking his opportunity to put
his enemy out of the way and steal
his gold claim. Here the law in the
person of Uncle Sans soldiers enters
on the scene and the love story begins.
The doughty captain, however, Is
mindful of his southern ancestry and
is torn with conflicting emotions as to

"The spoilers'' proved that Beach
knows how to stage a real, stand.up
and knock down fight. In 'The Bar

is even more accentuated.

HIGH VALUE OF GOOD ROADS
Estimated Cost of $500, ooo, 900 to Get
Surplus Farm Products to Mar
ket or to Railroad.

After careful inquiry it has beef
found that the average haul OF the
American farmer in getting his prod
uct to market or TO the nearest ship
ping station is - miles, and the aver
age cost of hauling over the common
country roads is % cents a ton per
mile, or 50 a ton for a 12-mile haul.
An estimate places the total tons
hauled at 3OO.OOOOO0 a year. On the
estimate OF 50 q ton for II miles this
would make the total cost 'of getting
the surplus products OF the farm to
the local market or to the railroad no
less than $500, 900, O00-a figure greater
than the operating expenses Of all the
railroads Of the United States. If any
thing could make an argument for
good wagon roads this statement sure
ly may.

ROAD

Country to Profit in Future From
Highways Built as Necessity Of
Warfare and Defense

It IS the general opinion OF motor
lists arriving in Washington from all
parts OF the country that the war
with Germany is acting as a sharp
prod to speed up road building.
Whatever the war costs the nation
In dollars and lives, It will result in
the building OF thousands OF miles OF
disable roads in all sections, for these
highways are now rated as one of the
necessities Of warfare and defense,
says Washington Star.
Possibilities Of an invasion are re-
mote, but now that it has been decid-
ed to send an expeditionary force
abroad, it is certain that other thou
sands will follow. hence the mobiliza-
ton Of troops on the SeabOard is some
thing not to be overlooked.
Railroads are up to their ears in
other work and have shown their lack
OF equipment to meet ordinary de-
mands of period of fast growth and
an attendant increase of consumption.

Here on the East, where the troops
will be massed before sailing. good
roads are considered as Of vital inter
est to the nation just as the raising
of vegetables in fields and yards which
heretofore have produced nothing.
Throughout the Atlantic area the
road builders are hard at it. and, in
spite of the urgency Of the calls for
men for other purposes, help is being
enlisted in the cause.
An immense amount of road building
work is being done in the South, and
In the Central West thousands of miles

His respect for Masterman's abili-
ties increased tenfOld.
He had begun spying upon the cap
tain. He broke into his house while
he was away and read his papers, with
out, however, learning anything of use
to him. Incidentally, he stole gold
presentation watch, a Chinese vase OF
the Ming dynasty, and a pair of lapis-
laZui earrings which had belonged to
Mastermans wife.
When MacBeard heard the first ru-
mOrs to the effect that Masterman's
ship had been wrecked. and that all
on board had persisted, he planned TO
fit out u secret expedition to go to the
scene of the disaster and see what was
to be discovered. Then he had seen
the captain in the dining room of the
club.
He had been thrown off his guard
by Masterman's unexpected return,
had followed him and Donald to the
door of the card room, and had heard
the greater part of the story. He had
! been unable to restrain his eagerneSS.
and had been detected spying.
/ Baked in his scheme to get posses
lowed Donald to the house in Balti-
more. There he had assaulted him
and taken the papers from him. He
had had no intention of killing Dom
aid, whom he despised heartily. Once
the secret, in which he now firmly be-
lieved, was in his possession, there
would come no reckoning for the as
sault. He saw his way to immediate
rulership over the world.
To do MacBeard justice, he had been
scared away, not by fear of the mon
ster, but by the realization that Mas
terman'S terrific story was true. After
Donald had left the house MacBeard
crept back. He discovered the mon
ster upon the floor, where it had pre-
cipitated itself in its death agony. it
had been disrupted by the internal
pressure, under q normal atmosphere.
He made a quick examination of 1t,
sat down in the kitchen, and spent the
remainder of the night porting over
Masterman's papers. In these he
learned much that was essential to his
success
He read that the creature in the
tank was a young one, which had not
yet acquired the power of resistance
| to an ordinary atmosphere. Nature
was still in process of modifying her
creation, and, as is always the case,
the young retained the atavistic dis
abilities, just as the young of 1atfsh
swim like other fishes and have one
eye on either side of the head. The
notifications in the physiological
structure come with maturity.
The adult monsters, MacBeard
learned, had already acquired the abiI-
| ity to exist for an indefinite period
upon the surface of the sea. While
the young had giils, these became mod
flied into a species of lung, capable of
breathing both above and under wa
ter. This was a new adaptation of ma
ture. MacBeard hurried back to the
dead monster, and found the lung al
ready partly formed. That satisfied
him that Masterman was an accurate
observer.

LIVE STOCK DEMAND

Save all the heifer calves and plan

being depleted of its live stock?
Keep your pigs growing. They
should weigh 200 pounds at six
months of age and they are worth S16
q hundred now. Ten good pigs are
worth $500.
Give your hogs all the alfalfa or
clover they will eat winter and sum-
mer. Give them skim milk, whey,
some grain, or anything else you have
but be sure to give them all they can
eat
Keep the calves growing. Give them
some grain, separate from milk, and
all the good hay they can eat. Veal
is now worth 10 cents pound. A good
veal is worth $35.
Feed the lambs we'll They are worth
$50 apiece and wool is worth from soc
to zoe a pound.
Feed the cows well. Keep them
milking. You may dislike to see them
eat so much, but please give them all
they can eat all the time. The price
of milk, butter and cheese is going out
OF sight. Butter fat may be worth 81
q pound before long.
Feed and handle the mares so that
you will save all the colts next spring.

fra MacBeard was one OF those rare
men who are recognized by their con-
Temperatures as master minds. To the
public he was unknown. but among
the learned he was mentioned in the
same breath with Faraday, Sir Isaac
Newton and Layoisier. Hatfield of the
March Hares' club had once honored
him by publicly comparing him with
james |.
He had discovered the secret of cold
light. and had received a fortune from
one of the largest electrical companies

Danger of Sleeves and Ties.

Although time and again workmen
have been warned regarding the dam
ger of loose clothing when working
around machinery, it appears that
many of them persist in ignoring the
danger. AS result 9S6 workmen were
killed in the United States by being
drawn into the wheels of machinery or
thrown to death when parts OF their
clothing became caught in rotating
members Loose sleeves and neckties
are prolific sources of danger, and
should not be tolerated for a single
moment by the careful worker.-Scj-
