in MEMORIAM

S. J. Craig finished his work and
passed to his haven of rest February
10, 1919, after brief illness Of in
fluenza and pneumonia.
As it has pleased Almighty God to
take the soul of our departed broth
er, may he find mercy in the great
day when all men shall be judged ac-
cording to the deeds done in the
flesh.
Early in manhood, Brother S. j.
Craig was elected to membership in
Upton lodge No. 226, F. & A. NJ,
and was great lover of the prin-
ciples of Masonry, having filled with
credit various stations in the lodge
He was active in the work and faith
full in attendance.
A Christian, he-always made his
influence felt for the advancement Of
Christianity. As citizen his influ-
ence was felt for the betterment of
the community. He had a Jolly,
cheerful disposition; his whole life
was an inspiration to those who knew
him best. WI
Therefore he it resolved: First,
that while we bow in humble submis-
sion to the Masters will, we deeply
deplore his death, and feel that Tip
ton lodge and the entire community
as well, have sustained an irreparable
loss.
Second, that we extend to the be-
reaved family our sincere sympathy
IN this great loss.
Third, that a copy Of these resoIu-
ions be spread on the minutes of /
ne lodge and a copy be sent to the
'amily.

FIGHT ON DAYLIGHT
SAVINGS REPEAL MEASURE

Washington, June 8. q Representa-.
tive Mondell, the Republican floo,
leader, asked the House interstate
commerce committee today to repori
the bill repeating the daylight savings
act without recommendation. He SAID
since there was such a widespread
interest in daylight savings, hem-
bers were entitled to the privilege
of threshing the matter out f6r
themselves"
The request was opposed by mem
bers Of the committee, who declared
such action would be a "relinouish-
ment OF their delegated rights" Rep
resentative Webster, Republican. Of
Washington, declared the Republican
floor leader chad no right to make
such an unusual request"
Opponents of the daylight savings
act made another unsuccessful effort
today to include in the 1920 agricul-
tural appropriation bin an amend
ment providing for the repeal Of thc
act. Wy
Chairman Haugen, Of the agrieul-
Iural committee, introduced the
amendment but a point Of order was
raised against it by Representative
Ia Guardia, Republican, of New York

HARDEST KNOCK
". q. Supreme Court Decides I'm
portant "Bone Dry" Appeal
from West Va.

+ Washington, Jan. 1S-Statutes Of
"dry" States permitting persons to
import or personally bring in limited
amounts Of intoxicants FOR their own
use we're in effect nullified by the So
called Reed bone dry" amendment
enacted by Congress, the Supreme
Court held today in an opinion re-
versing the Federal Court for the
southern district of West Virginia.
Justice McReynolds, in dissenting
opinion in which Justice Clarke con-
CURED, held that the Reed amend
rnent was not al interstate commerce
regulatory measure, but direct med
ding with State affairs and as such
purely beyond the power OF the Fed
eral government.
The case came up on an appeal
of the government from the lower
court decision dismissing proceedings
brought against Dan Hill for carrying
a quart of liquor into West Virginia
for his personal use as permitted by
the State law. The trial court held
that such transportation did not come
within the meaning Of the Reed
amendment which it held was intend
ed to apply only to actual shipments
OF liquor. The Supreme Court re-
manded the case for retriaf.

THE PEARL DIVER
MASTER OF THE SEA,
Conqners the Shark in His Native
Element.

Papeete, Island of Tahiti, Dec. 10
-(Correspopdence of the Associted
Press.) = The Paumotu Islands =
sometimes called "gold mine" of the
Eastern Pacific-present a weird and
picturesque scent during the season
for pearl fishing. From August on
come the natives from the surround
ing islands to dive for pearls in the
calm waters of the lagoon thrown
open for the purpose. Within the mar
row strip of sand which surrounds
the fishing ground are huddled three
thousand or more, in mushroom
city, sheltered beneath corrugated
iron or thatched roof huts. 1t is
a motley company
There is the Paumotu diver, a
bronzed sea- god-who, with his an
cestors, have been for ages masters
of the deep and conquerors of the
shark in his own native element. He
! is the center of solicitude for the
buyer and trader. He is tie indis-
pensable object of the moving picture
man, who has hastily built his theatre
of corrugated iron, where he dispen'
ses amusement at metropolitan prices
1t is the diver who will spend his
earnings in the wheezy motor cal
which the owner operates along g
| half mile of hard beach. 1t is his
earnings which attract a host oi
others.
In his habits of spending his earn
ings the Paumotu diver is much like
the American prospector and minel
of the days of gold strikes and boom
mining camps. In the days OF his
prosperity nothing is too good fol
him. He buys the choicest of foods
and timed goods. He is proud of the
appearance of his women folk ant
lavishes on them silks, satins. laces
Chinese shawls, high-heeled shoes
picture hats and corsets, the last
recent discovery. ALI of the thing:
the trader thoughtfully has pro
yided.
Sunday is an Easter parade and
performance at the picture theatre
like an evening at the opera. In M
golden horseshoe in the world are
more observant or critical eyes, anc
woe betide the Paumotu belle who
fancies she can attend two Of these
functions clad in the same costume
without being subject to scornfu
comment.
! A good diver during the season
will bring up several tons Of shells
which recompense him well. The
diver takes no thought for the NOR
row. He and his wife bask in afflu
ence and enjoyment. He spends a:
fast as he earns. When December
comes and the fishing season is over
they return to their little stoill anc
the simple life, with nothing re
naming for his months of toll bu'
some soiled finery, the memory Of
a good time and the anticipation o.
a repetition Of their pleasures the
next year.
