What's This? HiIo
Bringing Mystery
For Solution Here

IUST what is contained in a
mystery box" which is 20 be
- brought here by the delegates
Of the civic convention from Hilo
X a subject Of much discussion.
4 Iollce guard for the box when
1t arrives in Honolulu has already
been requested OF Sheriff Chas.
Rose. and it is understood that
on the VOYAGE here il IS TO be
closely guarded by the Illo dele
gates
l.. W. de vis-Norton, represen
tive Of Hilo in Honolulu, indig-
nantlv denied this morning that
the guarding OF the box was
part OF some hoax stunt which
the Hiloites intend to put over on
Honolulu friends. No. it is
matter OF extreme importance, but
/ am not at liberty to divulge the
contents of that box" said Mr..
Norton this morning when he vas
questioned.
1T is 1nost essential that the
box he guarded for ii it were
stolen it would result in a grave
disaster" he said. He explains
that the mystery Of the mystery
box will no longer be a mystery
after the AID Club show.
Surmises are being made by
former Hilo residents that the
Crescent City people have dis
covered the ink which has been
causing the eight months drought
in the second wettest city in the
world and that they are bringing
it to Honolulu for advice from the
Civic convention as to the best
way to exterminate the pest.

ton of sake from Japan will also be
prohibited.
1T is perfectly plain that, under the
law, no distilled spirits may be i'm
ported into the United States" he
adds. THE Star-Bulletin's message
raises the question as to whether the
liquor is a brew or whether it is dis
stilled. Of course, local officials might
be mistaken in CHASING 1t as a brew"
As far as announcements have been
made by the local customs house, no
ban on the importation of sake has
yet been put into effect, although
samshu, a liquor manufactured in
China, may not be imported any more.
The internal revenue office reports
that, for the purpose of collecting
revenue, it has classed sake as VIM.
In the opinion of the federal food COM
missioner's office, sake is a brewed
liquor, and distillation does not form
a part Of the manufacturing process.
Breweries Must Suspend
With sake classed as a distilled
liquor, it means that sake breweries
in Hawaii will have to suspend opera.
ton, and that hereafter no more sake
may be imported from Japan. The
ruling will practically wipe the islands
dry of the Japanese liquor.
Federal officials have advanced the
theory that the importation of rice
from Japan for the local manufacture
of sake, would interfere in no way
with the food supply of the United
States. 1t has been pointed out that
no Hawaiian-grown rice is used in
the manufacture of sake as the local
product has been found to be practi-
cally useless for this purpose.
J. F. Child, assistant executive Of.
ficer of the food commission, smiled
this morning when informed of the
text of the message to the Star.Bul.
letin
Il told you So" he said.
Mr.. Child expressed the opinion
some time ago that the manufacture
of sake in the United States undoubt.
eddy would be barred.

During the past week rumor has
been current about ST. Johns College

higher salaries, often three times as
much, in the service Of the Govern

MAY BE CLUB-F00TED RACE
Humanity Said to Be Tending Toward
a Condition by No Means to
Be Desired.

That the human race is slowly
evolving toward a condition of club
footedness is suggested by DIR. Truman
Able of Washington in the Medical
Record. Doctor Able points to the
horses hoof and its evolution from the
five-toed foot of the prehistoric horses,
by the dropping of one toe after an
other and the consolidation of the
bones from the knee down.
"When we look at the human skele-
ton and compare the bone of the tibla
and fibula and the digits beyond each
of them," he continues, 'it does not
take much imagination to see suggest
ed in the slender fibula and the dimin-
utive little toes an early stage in the
reduction process, which If carried
further would lead to a diminution of
the number of toes on mans foot"
And he closes his article with these
words: ''We come thus to the sug-
gestion of club-foot as tendency to-
ward the dropping of the post-axial
digit group of the lower limb. And
this dropping of a digit group would
seem to be due to restricted develop
ment in the central nervous system
a factor that has been at work since
before the days of the five-toed horse"

"A Stone to His Memory

That there is bound to be ambiguity
in the terms of a will is almost as well
known among lawyers of this city as
is the way to the Hall of Records In
Chambers street, where the wills are
probated. But the queer kinks which
some individuals with more guile than
conscience put into the aforesaid tes-
taments furnish fresh entertainment
every day for the profession.
Recently it was the executor of a
small estate who entered the office of
a lawyer to get an opinion. His
friend had died without close kin, he
said, and had made him executor. In
the terms OF the will there had been
provision made for a monument to be
erected for the dead man at cost
not to exceed $500.
That's what I wanted to see you
about" confded the client. "You see,
the win provided for q stone to his
memory I've already gotten the stone
and l want TO see If you think the
whole things legal"
And turning his right hand over
upon the table the executor flashed be-
fore the eyes of the lawyer the stone
in question: beautiful $500 blue
white diamond.-New York Herald.

GREAT LAND is ARGENTINA
People and Resources Will Place 1t
In the Front Rank Of South Amer
lean Republics.

The great landowners come to
Roenos Aires and spend their money
upon the glittering boulevards, and
this makes the city an abnormal one,
and in a sense a false guide to the
characteristics of the people and the
country, says writer in the Christian
Herald. Argentina, however, is slow
ly, but surely gathering to herself,
out of the polyglot nations of Europe,
which compose her, spirit and in
dividuality of her own as free and
unique as is the air of her boundless
prairies. AT present she resembles
more truly the Old World than does
the United States, which has had
much longer time to develop to par
ticular civilization all her own; yet
you can hardly insult an Argentine
more readily than to suggest Buenos
Aires as merely copy or tinseled i'm
itation Of a European capital. He
sees in it his own expression, and
although he win tell you that to
know the country correctly the North
American must read the history of
the United States 80 years ago, he is
nevertheless deeply confident that
Argentina has a future quite differ
ent from either the United States or
a European nation, or any other South
American state. The longer one re-
mains in the country, the more surely
he will be inclined to agree with the
inhabltant of this great land, where
are being gathered forces of popula,
ton in an agricultural area nearly
half as big as the United States, pos
sessing resources in many senses more
uniform and prolific than are to be
found in any other one commonwealth
on the face of the earth.
