Myrtles and the Healanis.
Yesterday the boys spent some time
around the Myrtle club house, while to-

Speaking of the coming of the Big

Hilo Tribune of last Friday says:
Only Seniors Here From Hilo
"'To aceustOm themselves to the
water for the aquatic events to take
place in Honolulu this month twelve
members of the Hilo Yacht Club will
leave for the capital city on the Mama

Local Crews Get Busy
With the enemy right in their midst
the Myrtlrs aud Healanis are getting
real busy. While the past week has
been only skirmish work, beginning to.
morrow the local rowing crews will get
into real deadly work to round them,
selves out for the grueling task ahead
of them.
There will be scenes of great activity
around the lighthouses on the water
front every afternoon Of this week. 1t
will be early to bed and early to rise,
for the old slogan applies here as well
as it does in other lines Of endeayor
and effort. liz.
The same air of mystery obtains
about the local lighthouses, and there is
much secrecy in regard to who will row
in the different races. The cat will be
let out of the bag in u day or so and
then rowing fans will be able to begin
making their calculations for Regatta
Day.

ANGUS M'PHEE WILL
REMAIN IN RACE GAME

There ism I much doing in horse rae
inE circles, these days; indeed ii is i'm
probable that there will be another
meeting in the Islands until next June
when the annual meeting Of the Ha
wall Polo and Racing Club will be held
That Angus McPhee, the Maui horse
man, intends staying with the game
is evidenced by his recent purchase fo'
$3.50 of "A yearIing colt by Frolic GU
Of Sumptuary. the dam of Sumere and
Gaiety The colt was purchased from
Col. A. W. Carter of the Parker Ranch
Frolic was purchased and brought to
the Islands by the late Prince David
but never raced here on account Of
breaking down, and has beeu Mt the
stud since. The yearling is an exceed
iHgly promising looking colt.
McPhee has owned number of
horses. including Athlone, Miss Offic
iOus, HPres and Mary Jay, and If the
latter rounds to her true form. and the
wearing comes up to expectations, the
popular cOlors of the Maui sportsman
should be borne to the fore at next
years racing carnivals.
John o 'ROurkc writes a friend here
that he is going to bring down -four
yearlings and six twO-year,Olds and dis.
pose of them at auction. The horse
are all untried but are by the beg
sires in California.
These animals, with the four recently
imported by C. H. Lucas, will put som
much needed new blood in the loea
racing game. The yearlings will be
classed as two-year.olds on the first
dav Of next January, and the two-year
Olds will, of course, race as three.year
ODDS after that date.

WHY DO AMERICAN BABIES DIE?

State Board of Health Bulletin.
Why do American babies die? has
been the great question that MISS
Julia c. Lathrop, chief Of the chill
dren's bureau at Washington, has been
irving to answer for the last live
wears. That she has discovered some
Of the fundamental causes and con-
litions largely responsible for Amer1-
cas- unenviable baby death record,
which is worse than England's, Scot
lands. Denmark's or Frances, but not
quite as bad as Germany's, is not
mere guess work, but is based on
number of exhaustive studies OF typ
ical American groups or communities
One of the principal groups studied
was the Industrial city Of JohnstoWn,
Pennsylvania, where men for the most
part were employed in steel naanufac-
ture. Another was Montclair, New
Jersey, rich and prosperous suburban
city, and the other was Manchester,
New Hampshire, textile manufac-
turing center where many mothers
were employed The baby deathrate
in Johnstown, which has foreign
population, the women of which do
not work in the industrial plants, was
1874 per 1000 That of Montclair, a
prosperous residential city, was "a
while the baby deathrate for Man
chester, where mothers worked in the
cotton mills, was 1913.
One Of the conditions found affect
ing the baby's life no little was the
bathtub. Houses with bathtubs had
baby deathrate Of 72, whereas those
without them had rate of 16t. The
J same thing was true Of houses into
| which water was piped and those in
to which it had to be carried by hand
oom-crowding was another factor
Babies died much oftener when sleep
| ing in room with more persons than
their parents than when with them
only, while the same thing is true OF
their sleeping in their own separate
beds. But by far the greatest fac.
tors found were hard work for moth.
ers, and illiteracy of mothers. It was
found that the extent to which moth
ers increased the family revenue, just
to that extent their babies died, anc
that babies Of illiterate mothers have
higher deathrates than those whose
mothers can" read and write,

A Vicious RumOr.

"Among the many absurd and vic
ious rumors put into circulation these
days, probably through pro-German
influences, is one that the United
States proposes to confiscate money
on deposit in banks. The al absurdity
of the statement is obvious on its
face. These rumors are wholly with
out foundation and probably circulat-
ed for an evil purpose. The govern
ment has no power to confiscate the
money of depositors in banks"- From
statement Of Secretary McAdoo.

Of three Southern States is according
to letter received yesterday by Dr.
W. S. Rankin, Secretary Of the State
Board of Health, from Sam L. Rog-
ers, director of the Federal Census
Bureau.
The letter reads: cit gives me great
pleasure to inform you that North
Carolina measured we'll over 80 per
cent and has been admitted to the reg
istration area for births for the year
1917. A detailed report of the test
will be sent you shortly. "Our spec
ial agents have returned from North
Carolina and have nothing but glow
ing accounts to give Of the cordial
reception given them and of the ef-
ficiency of your registration system" !"
l
Board of Health, that North Carolina
is reporting all, or at least over 80
per cent, Of her births and that her
birth statistics as we'll as her death
statistics will be accepted by the Unit
ed States and foreign governments
For the past month two special agents
from the Federal Census Department
officially inspected the completeness OF
the birth reporting made to the vi
tai Statistics Department of the Board
and found that the State was not on
ly reporting far above the required
percentage, but that the work was
done most efficiently.
The other States that have preced.
ed North Carolina into the birth reg.
istration area are the six New Eng
land States, New York, Pennsylvania
Michigan, Minnesota, Virginia anl
Kentucky. The latter two were ad
mitted this year.

IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH

Everybody Expected to Improve His
Health tuberculosis Week-Only
the Run Down and Poor in Health
Have tuberculosis.
State Board of Health Bulletin.
The first week in December, from
the second to the ninth, is national
health-innroving week. It IS called
tuberculosis Week, and it means that
everybody must do everything possl-
BE to improve his health and prevent
tuberculosis during these days. 1t
is we'll known fact that people VINO
keep IN good health rarely have tu-
7,erculosis. On the other hand, per-
sons who allow themselves to run
down, to lose weight, to lose sleep
and become nervous, particularly II
they have colds and coughs which
they do not cure, but allow to run
on, are more tlian likely to contract
tuberculosis.
It is to learn to avoid just these
conditions, OF if you have them al
ready, to remedy them at once, that
called for tuberculosis Week as day
Of reckoning and taking account
Wednesday Of this week is set apart
especially for personal study in rela.
ton to this disease. It is requested
that every Individual take time and
before the week is over, know how
he stands in regard to this particu-
lar disease. A physical examination
that will discover wrong conditions
and defects which perhaps have been
causing you bad health already, and
which can perhaps easily be remedied
is the best way to set yourself right
You will certainly make no mistake
then whereas if you attempt to dag
nose your case, and to medicate your
self accordingly, you will have more
than fool for your doctor
A few particular conditions that
everybody should take note of during
tuberculosis Week are of the teeth
and gums and defects of the nose
which prevent easy breathing through
the nose, of the digestive system il
indigestion or constipation is present
of the heart and arteries by having
blood pressure test taken, and of the
kidneys by having urinalysis. Put
ting the teeth, gums, nose and throat
in order isthe least a person can de
and amounts probably to the mos
as it affects his health.

New Idea in Home Planning.

"Our architects are gradually learn
ing that after all is said and done the
thing worth while is to make a home
that is attractive, in which people will
want to live and to which they will
return with delight" So says Louis
c. Tiffany, founder Of the Tiffany
Studios, in the December issue of
Harper's Bazar.
Mr.. Tiffany, himself, has a very
beautiful estate at Cold Spring Har-
bor, New York, and from his descrip-
tion of it in this number of Harper's
Bazaar, you can gain quite a little val
liable information on how to beautify
and make attractive your home.
