GUILD DINNER A SUCCESS

DOUGLAS, Nov. 19.-Rev Canon Butcher, the president, and mem bers of the St. Luke's Guild, desire to express their appreciation of the kind patronage extended to them on Saturday last, on the occasion of their annual sale and supper
 To say that the event was huge success, is merely to state the case in the mildest possible manner. To the various friends who so gener- ously contributed chicken, potatoes, pies, relishes. coffee, sugar. peas, carrots, cream and butter and bread, the Guild offers warmest thanks. Many sent gifts entirely unsolicited, and the attendance was so large that some people had to be sent away empty. This is to be very much regretted, but it only serves to prove how generous, kindly sym pathetic and patient the people of Douglas and Treadwell can be- The candy booth brought in the sum of $1880. the sale of goods so far has netted over $500O and the supper over $50
 With this money the St. Luke's Guild cares for the cleaning of the church, part of the clerical stipend, contribution to missions, and various other expenditures which cannot be cared for in any other way. The Guild is not social organization, xlx- 1t.,, .nt, I-
 Never has the cooperation and loyalty of the Island people been more shown, nor has it ever been more kindly appreciated. To all we say Thank you"

VENICE IS ONE OF
 MOST HISTORIC SPOTS
 IN THE WHOLE WORLD

Venice, one of the most historic ened by the Huns, owes it's origin to early Hun barbarians. It was founded by refugees and fisherfolk who sought as an asylum from the Huns the isolated shadows and mud banks of the lagoons, and it's real birthday dates from the year of 425. Though many of the ~priceless art treasures have been removed to Rome, according to press dispatches, it is impossible to remove architec tural masterpieces represented in many of the famous buildings. One can well believe, as indicated in the dispatches, that Italians will not make a determined defense within the walls of the city itself, for fear of damage from crashing shells to treasures of history and art. Nor mally Venice has a civilian popula- tion of nearly 100000 Among the numerous buildings famed in his tory is that of the Church of St Mark, which is unique among the buildings of the world for its un- paralleled richness of material and decoration. Under a former law every merchant trading to the East was compelled to bring back some thing for the adornment of the fame. In addition to art treasures, Venice has become an important which no doubt is an additional in centive for the Huns to try and occupy the place.

This letter" declared ]. F. Child,
assistant executive officers, to repre-
sentative of the Star-Bulletin, rs our
reply to your question: What is the
food commission doing?' - .-". g.
The letter to Mr.. Hoover asks no
favors and makes but few suggestions,
yet there are intimations here and
there as to how the national food adj
ministration could help the local com.
mission. #... -... >
Suggests Fuef Oil Centred
In the first place, the letter ex.
presses the fear that Hawaii is soon
to face a fuel oil shortage, matter
which has already been drawn to the
attention of Mr.. Hoover by Delegate
Kuhio. A considerable portion of the
sugar produced in Hawaii is depend.
ent on water pumped by fuel oil, says
the letter, and that many of the large
public utility concerns are also de.
pendent on this fuel. A failure of this
oil supply, the letter adds, would
shortly paralyze Hawaii's industries.
The food commission has no specific
power over oil, gasoline, etc, the let
ter continues, and intimates that
some sort of control should be placed
over the local situation. IT,. :
The letter to Mr.. Hoover follows:
Dear Sir:--Our letters to you of
