Takes Back Some New Ideas About
VictuaIs, Having Learned to APP

Tastable T-Bone.

San Francisco.-Across the perilous
channel leading to Tari Tari, north
ernmOst of the equatorial Gilbert is
lands, the current averages 20 miles
in "a hours. But navigating 1t is sim
pie compared to crossing Market
street, this city, for Chief Tumbremaa,
eighty-five years old, POlynesian ruler
of the far-away isle.
Chief Tumbremaa is in San Fran
cisco getting his first glimpse of twen-
tleth century civilization, while nes-
tied in the foliage of a 100-foot high
royal palm on Tari Tari, hour by hour
and every day, there sits lookout,
watching for a sail.
But nary a sail. And IL there was,
it wouldn't do any good, because the
natives couldn't get out and the YES
sci couldn't get in. The only pilot
who knows the intricate waters of
Tart Tart is Chief Tumbremaa and
he isn't sure he wants to go back,
having tasted steam beer.
So He Came Along.
Tumbremaa came here unlimited
and without a passport on the steam
er Expansion, which he boarded to
pilot into his bailiwick. But the winds
went wrong after he had sent his roy
al flagship back to port under COM
mand of his prime minister. For six
weeks the Expansion tried to land,
but could not, so it gave up the at
tempt and came here, bringing along
the islands king.
From the waterfront the captain
of the Expansion took the chief In an
automobile TO the center Of the city,
and the hardy old fighting man trem-
bled with fear. Trolley cars terrified
him. He was escorted into an express
elevator OF a tall building and the lift
made the longest trip on record there
because His Royal Highness raised
the roof the equivalent Of two stories
with his shrieks.
Clad in Regal Dignity.
The chief boarded the Expansion In
his regal dignity and nothing else,
but when the vessel reached colder
weather he put on his first hablli-

WAR BOARD is LENDING AID
Assisting in Building Up National and
Home Guard Units.

Lansing-The war preparedness
board is lending aid and encourage
ment to three distinct forms OF patri-
otto endeavor, all of which are close
ly related. 1t is forming committees
to assist in recruiting National Guard
companies; other committees for the
building up of Home Guard companies,
and still a third series to encourage
college men and others with the neces-
sary education or experience to enroll
themselves in the officers reserve
training camps.
All three activities are meeting with
considerable success. Units OF the
National Guard at home stations have
reported a quickening of interest: re-
cruits are being sent daily to COM
panies of the Thirty-third Michigan
infantry on active service; and the
number of Home Guard companies is
mounting at the rate of five or six a
day.
The board will find instructors or
drillmasters for all colleges which de-
sire to introduce military drill.
1t will also undertake to order for
Home Guard and college companies
dummy guns, of the identical shape
and weight OF Springfield rifles, for
drilling purposes. Sporting rifles and
ammunition will be used for actual
guarding. These companies will drill
In the army infantry tactics so that
the prospective recruit who enlists
in Home Guard company or college
unit will be well advanced when he
takes on for active service.
In some cities of the state, among
them Owosso. an organization has
been perfected to encourage the bet
ter educated young men to do their
bit by going to officers training
camps.
