Socialist Farm a Fizzle

Ukelele Taken to Hawaii
By Portuguese Immigrants

Although the ukelele now in use is
somewhat smaller than the first instru-
ment, and the present name is pure
Hawaiian, its origin is European, hav-
ing been brought to Hawaii by Portu-
guese immigrants. Literally interpret
ed, it means dancing hea," and was so
named by the natives from the fact
that the fingers sweep quickly and
lightly over all the strings practically
at the same time.
A totally different instrument, both
in character and purpose is the gourd
drum used by the Buddhist priest to
call the faithful to prayer AID medita-
ton. This drum is used by the priests
through India not only to call the wor-
shippers together, but as an accompani-
ment to the chanted prayers Of the
Buddhist faith.

CHICAGO, Dec. Radical propa-

prominent workers emphasized this
view.

that it has among the whites" said
Hill. There are papers and maya
