HILO, Sept. From the Keamoku
prison camp four men have recently
escaped. One of them is the man
who stole Captain Mosher's automo
bile some time ago. He was looked
upon as such bad egg that he was

any kind of man and prevent him
from escaping for any length of time.
This particular criminal had been
heard to declare that it would be easy
to get rid Of the heavy steel beet
and that he would escape.
Then three Filipinos, all from the
Honolulu prison, tired of road work
and decided to escape. They there

THE PEssLE IN THE SHOE
BY DOROTHY DIX
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman
Writer

Woman writes me that she Is
~ married to a man who is a model
~ of all virtues-who is good and
kind, moral and .pright, sober and
industrious and eet tempered-but
that she is perfectly miserable and
has become a nervous wreck because
he does all the little things that CRATE
upon her.
She is very neat and tidy and
orderly and he throws things around
the house and drops cigar ashes on
the floor and scatters newspapers as
he goes.
She is very particular about her
clothes and takes good care of them.
He will wear his only pair OF silk
.sox to work, and she has to watch
him like a hawk to see that he changes
his shirt and collar every day and has
a fresh handkerchief in his pocket.
She cherishes her furniture and her
household belongings as the apple Of
her eye, and he scratches the piano
and muses. the sofa cushions and
spots the table cloth.
And when she tells him about what
high crimes and misdemeanOrs he is
committing this aggravating husband
doesn't even answer her back. He
inst smiles and says that people with
a don't-worry disposition like his live
to be 80. And his wife says that
it's all killing her, and what shall she
do? -......

HAWAII MUSIC
MAKES Strong
HIT ON COAST

A striking example of how Ha'
waiian music and the hula has taken
in the Northwest is shown in the
following news story from The Nampa
Qdaho) Record, which tells CT the
coming of "Kuloha's HawaEans'.
The music lovers of this city are
assured the treat of the season in
the way of a Hawaiian music night.
It is very timely event as the coun-
try has suddenly gone mad over Ha-
waiian music. The hula hula dance
is seen and the languoroU5 wang of
the ukulele is heard in all the out
of-door parks and on the veranGas
Of the big summer hotels. Even
Broadway has heard the call of the
seductive island music, and all the
important musical comedies coming
out this season from New York have
Hawaiian numbers, so the Unique the
alter feels that it is giving its pat
rons that which is up to the minute in
real native Hawaiian show.
'Kuloha's Hawaiians, six in number,
come perhaps with better indorse-
ment than any HaWaiians that nave
played heretofore. They have played
at all the larger fairs. sucn as Panama
Pacific, San Diego and in larger cities
of the country. In Portland, recently,
the Morning Oregonian had the fol-
lowing to say about Kuloha's Ha-
waiians:

THERE WAS A STUNNING GIRL at O
fashionable cafe in town the other
night. She entered the restaurant,
quite conscious that all eyes were on
her, and quite unf1urried by the evil
dent admiration. She came to a
table directly ahead Of ours, sat
down and slid of her cloak. She
was dressed quite decollete, in a
gown as pretty as herself. Presently,
as the room was warm and as the
cloak had brushed most OF the
powder from her back, noticed the
one flaw in this pearl Of loneliness.
Her back needed washing! -.
Now know she would be Mortified
if she read this-but it's true. She
had neglected washing her back for
years, without knowing it, OF course,
until the pores between her shout
der blades had widened and clogged,
and finally become downright BACK
heads. And that's common enough
condition of many women.
a OF course, it's pretty hard to
reach the back between the shoulder
blades, it's like that one button on
your waist that you never could
fasten. And in bathing, you are apt
to slosh the wash-cloth around your
shoulders, and trust that soapy
water will take off all dirt Even in
rubbing dry with a towel, the Shout
ders are naturally forced out a bit
by the very movement, and the back
at this part dries itself from the air.
Get a bath brush with a long
handle, they sell from SO cents to
$3.50, soap it, and scrub your back
more carefully than your face. In
a few months you'll have reduced
those coarse pores to their natural
invisibility. When you are facing
a person you know, your expression
and conversation will distract atten-
tion from any small defect, but when
it's only your back they have to look
at! And the test Of cleanliness is
not how clean the cleanest part of
you is, but how clean the most soiled
one is. Sounds complex-but isn't
It so?
