A Tea Time EFFICIENCY.

We have more variety in our British
home guard duty than the full time sol
der gets. One foggy evening the sentry
on the wharfside below the bridge tele-
phoned for help. The corporal and patrol
who doubled out found they were to
extricate an old bargee who was hanging
head down--groaning weakly, but sense
less--between a barge and the river wall,
the barge chatting slowly with the rising
tide and cracking it's ribs. A night watch
man who supervised the rescue ex-
planned;
after I came ere tonight | card a
noise like somebody growing, and
says, That's somebody growning!' But
was 'avin' me tea. In abaht alf an abr,
when I'd done me tea, the growing was
still going on, so | goes to the sentry
and says, Sentry, there's somebody
End sure enough there
was. Guardian.

NOW DANIELS SAYS
KEEP ON KNITTING'
He and Secretary Baker Urge That Wom-
en- Make All the Comforts They
Possibly Can for Fight
ing Men.

Washington, Nov 27,-"Keep on knit
ting" say Secretary of War Baker and
Secretary of the Navy Daniels, In fact
the war council of the American Red
Cross requests that the widest publiei-
ty" be given to the expression by these
two officials of the appreciation of "all
the voluntary efforts that are being
made through the Red Cross to bring
comfort to our fighting men"
The statement declares that "Secre.
tary Baker and Secretary Daniels wish
the people of the country to know that
under no circumstances do they want to
our good women from knitting
or otherwise voluntarily providing
through the Red Cross comforts for our
soldiers and sailors"

of lofty land masses rivaling the Alps
in height and ruggedness."
Thousands of Feet of Rock Worn Away.
The great cap of everything rock into
which the GRANTEES were intruded has
since been largely removed by erosion,
so that the granite is now exposed at
many places. Some conception of the
age of these rocks may be gained from
the statement of the geological survey
that the present rate OF erosion in New
England is less than an inch in a thous-
and years. A good example of the rem
nant of this ancient Gaping can be seen
at the Waldoboro quarry in Maine The
presence of this great cover, which pre-
vented the rapid cooling of the magma
permitted the formation of the granite
Had the molten masses been forced to
the surface and exposed to the air they
would have cooled SO quickly that the
slow process of capitalization by which
granite is formed would have been ar
rested by the sudden passage of the
into the solid state, a change
that forms a dense glass similar to that
in the obsidian cliffs in Yellowstone park.
Instead, the molten masses, forced up
ward by great pressure against cap
ping of enormous weight, cooled and
slowly enough to permit the
capitalization of the liquid or
plastic matter, allowing the molecules of
he minerals to arrange themselves in the
crystalline form in which, as the mi
shows, they appear in granite.
The heat of this molten mass must have
been very great, as granite melts at a
temperature of 1000 degrees to $500
legrees F.

CONNECTICUT GRANITE.
Formations Are But Stumps of Lofty
Land Masses,

The United States geological survey
department of the interior, has published
a valuable report on 'The GRANTEES OF
Connecticut" copies of which can be had
on application. The magnitude of the
granite industry of New England lends
special interest and Importance to this
publication which describes not only
the geologic origin of the granite and
their distribution, but also the principal
features of the granite industry New
England granite in the form of statuary,
monuments. bridges, and buildings is
found in almost every part of the Unit
ed States and even in foreign countries.
In nearly all the eastern states, as well
as in cities as distant from New Eng
land as Vicksburg, Spokane, and San
Francisco, in Montreal, and in Cuba these
granite may be seen in statues or in
permanent structures.
Though the GRANTEES are by no means
the oldest rocks, they furnish by far the
hardest and most durable construction
stone, though they differ greatly in hard
mess among themselves. Some GRANTEES
crush under pressure of $4,000 pounds
to the square inch; others Withstand pres
sures exceeding 10000 pounds. The gran
ties are Of plutonic origin, resulting from
the cooling of molten rock matter--thei
magma which was forced upward from
the earth's interior. Before its intru-
sion this magma existed as fused mass
heavily charged with gases and there
fore under immense pressure. Injected
upward by this pressure through and
among the older rocks it was changed
from a fused liquid mass to plastic
paste, finally solidifying and combining at
some places with the older rocks and
at these places forming granite rocks
such as the gneisses.
Granite of Many Kinds and Color.
These profound disturbances in early
geologic time produced over much of
New England deposits of granite and
granite rock that is suitable for econom
ic uses, ranging from statue making to
road building. The rocks are of many
colors- black, white, red, purple, pink,
and yellow The authors of the bulle |
tin, T. Nelson Dale and Herbert e. Greg |
ory believe that when these GRANTEES !
were formed New England was noun
famous region that stood several thous |
and feet higher than the land of to-day. |
Professor Gregory says; 1--WE may be rea
sonably sure that mountains of folded !
strata once occupied Connecticut and
that the GRANTEES and gneisses and
schists which we see are but the stumps

CUTTING OUT MIDDLE WEST.
Farmer Getting 40 Per Cent of What
Consumer Pays for Bread.

Washington, Nov. disqualification of
bread production by government super
vision extending from the wheat field to
the bakery, with a consequent elimina-
tion of boarding and speculation, makes
it possible for the farmer to receive forty
per cent of the price paid for the loaf
of bread, the food administration an
nounced yesterday, 1t was pointed out
that last year the farmers returns rep
resented less than twenty per cent of the
selling price of bread.
Federal control of production has had
a decidedly stabilizing influence on all
branches of the industry, with the result
according to the food experts, that a
marked decrease in bread prices has been
effected recently in many cities.

At THEL|BERTY

The Morosco picture, Big Timber,
in which the popular stars, Kathlyn
Williams and Wallace Reid, are fea-
tured, and which is the main attrac-
ton Of the present program at the
Liberty theater, will be shown for the
last time today.
Big Timber" is moving love story,
the scenes Of which are played in one
of the great California forests. The
story is an adaptation of the novel of
the same name by Bertrand Sinclair
and the theme has to do with the ex'
periences of a young society girl who
goes to live in a lumber camp, mar
ries, is stolen from her husband, and
after a series Of adventures returns to
him. The production has a distinctly
educational value in that not only are
the big trees of CALIFORNIA; great for.
ests shown, but also all the various in
teresting operations that enter into
numbering in the golden state are pic
tured. One scene shows a great for
est fire.
In addition to the feature picture the
current instalment of the serial, THE
Mystery of the Double" Cross" gives
new thrills. The weekly Pathe news
pictures also are part of the pro-
gram.

MOBILE
FACE AT HAWAII

Gladys Brockwell, the girl of a
thousand facial expressions, who haa
been seen in Honolulu before in Fox
productions. Is the star of the feature
picture en- the program at the Hawaii
theater which opens today. Miss
BrockTell has heretofore been seen
with William Farnum. having ap-
peared with him as leading woman In
a number OF successes. 1t was in the
course OF her early experiences as a
moving picture star that the range and
variety of emotions she was able to
express on her countenance won for
her the appeliation above given.
The new Fox picture in which Miss
Brockwell is starring alone Is Her
Temptation" which has won high
praise from critics in Eastern cities
in which the picture was first pre-
scented.
In answer to popular demand the

FIREMENBURNED
IN STIFF BLAZE

Six firemen. including Chief Charles
Thurston, were burned last evening
while fighting a stiff blaze in the
Union Bakery, located in the VOTERS
block on Union street. TIE alarm
was turned in shortly before s O'Clock
and the fire lasted for hair an hour.
The loss is estimated at $500, not
covered by insurance.
The injured men were treated at
the emergency hospital. with the ex'
cepti6n of Chief Thurs.on. who was
given first aid at fire headquarters.
The injured firemen are
Chief Charles Thurston, scalded
foot, confined to home.
Captain John Franco, severe burns
about face and hands.
Captain David Makai. severe burns
about face, arms and hands.
Driver George Pun, burns about face
shoulder and hands.
Hoseman Oscar Green, side Of face
scorched
Hoseman Zachary Naone, burned on
arms and hands.
The fire started in the rear of the
bakery furnace room. The proprietor
of the bakery. Anton STANCE, had been
in the habit Of using crude oil as fuel,
but last evening used kerosene. Fire
spurted from the furnace, and ignited
quantity of oil on the floor.
1t was impossible to use water on
the fire, and the chemicals went into
action. Apparatus from the Central
station, Palama and Makiki stations
responded.

Chief of Police T. o. Milton saw
the two men when they ahghted from

They alighted from the side of the

selling their goods from house to

hour and half Of canvassing. the
peddlers were arrested by Chief Mil

they were told that they must buy a
flfty dollar license if they wished to
continue their business. They begged
to be sent out of town on the next

and asserted that they had no money.
At this Chief Milton swore out the
