delivery to "some scholar of Hawaii

home, and relating the fact that he had
his meat cooked before eating it, and
asking for a description of simple, ma

Scores of similar stories might be told,
all emphasizing the fact that many
Americans have little knowledge of this
American territory 1000 miles out in
the tropical Pacific.
1t is apparent that misleading con-
ception of Hawaii has been drawn by
many from popular songs and light liter.

approximately $4,000, has more than
5000 automobiles, excellent street car
service, electric lights, automatic tele-
phone, country clubs, golf links and oil

While it is true that many dusky
beauties take daily dips at Waikiki
beach, they wear msde-in- America bath

the fox trot instead of the hula, and
spend their spare hours playing golf at
the country clubs or driving their cars
over the scenic roads of Oahu instead
of stunning ukuleles beneath palm
trees for the entertainment of white
beaehcombers and tourists.
Hawaii is in the tropics and 1000 miles
from San Francisco but is a very Amer

only movement known here could be in

that statehood should be sought.

FORTUNES MADE IN VAR
MAKE ANTIQUES JUMP
All England Is Being Searched for Treas
ures Of All Kinds Which Find Ready
Sale at Prices Heretofore Only
Paid BY Foreigners.

London, June IA Correspondence of
the Associated Press The enormous
fortunes made in England during the
war are responsible for record breaking
prices which sellers of antiques of every
kind are realizing in London auction
rooms in the opinion of men who have
long been close to the trade The whole
country is being searched for treasures
of all kinds which find ready sale at
prices which hitherto have only been
paid by foreigners
A mysterious portrait which recently
appeared in one auction room and was
said by someone to have been by Franz
Halls quickly brought 100000, although
its authenticity has even now not been
established. Reynolds portrait which
TO the present had not attracted much
attention was easily sold for $4,000, and
pictures by much lesser lights brought
phenomenal prices
Artistic furniture is in even more de-
mand. Six Chippendale Gothic chairs
recently sold at a country sale for So, 1875,
in spite of the fact that modern artists
are copying this particular design with
marked success and only the trained ex.
pert can detect the difference. AT an
other country sale two Chippendale Ia
bles brought 81 900 and a Chippendale
cabinet S6,250.
Sheraton furniture is not so popular,
excellent tables going as low as 500.
An old harpsichord in William and
Mary case sold for $500, and grand
fathers clock gave its fortunate owner
5000 in spite of the fact that the clock
had probably ceased to tick more than q
hundred years ago.
Illuminated manuscripts also are in
demand, and as in the case of furniture.
record prices are being obtained. Let
ters Of David Garrick, and few by his
wife, to noted persons Of their time,
caused spirited bidding, but were with
drawn and will be offered again.
Efforts to trace the purchasers of some
of the choicest offerings have revealed
the presence in the market of persons
who never before paid any attention to
antiques. Many of them are persons
who accumulated large fortunes during
the war, and now that they have ac-
quired fine houses have set out, with the
aid Of experts, to give them the ancient
touch required by good taste.

MANY TRY 40 IMPOSE
ON BRITISH GOVERNMENT
Soldiers in British Army Claim American
Citizenship and Demand Repatria-
ton at Expense of the British.

Winchester, England June IA GORE
spondence of the Associated Pressl -
American and British authorities dele
gated to examine the thousands of SOL
diers in the British army who claim to
repatriation to the United States are
having a difficult job. Many Of them
are adventurous individuals who have
roamed the globe and now want to go
TO America at the expense of the British
government.
Up to date the British government has
received more than 10000 applications
for repatriation for those who say they
have a right to be sent to the United
States. About 5000 have been certified,
hundreds have been rejected and the APP
plcations keep coming.
The British government agreed when
the United States entered the war to
send home after the war any American
citizens who joined the British army
! and also any citizen of allied nationality
who had previously established a resi-
dence in the United States. The author
tiles are not having much trouble with
the first category but the latter one is
bringing on no end of complications.
A board of military and civil officers
which examined men collected at the
camp here formerly used as a rest camp
by American troops had so many diff
culties that the aid of Lieutenant A.
Kane and later a representative of the
limited States consul generals Office in
London, was requested
| Lieutenant Kane was selected because
of his knowledge of many cities in the
| United States and his general acquain-
lance with conditions norvh, south, east
and west. A favorite city selected by
the would be repatriates as their home
town" is Detroit. The street number
| tallies, their statement that they are
one of the thousands employed in the
motor car industry cannot be disputed
and they know some of the principal
streets. But one question finishes them.
What is the principal park in De-
troit 2"
| They do not know Belle Isle and they
do not get to the United States.
! Lieutenant Kane has stock of such
questions concerning most OF the cities
/ of the country and if they can be cor
rectly answered it is reasonable to sup
pose that the soldier has a just claim
and he is passed.
| While there are many such cases they
are in the minority. Most of those who
apply are men who wanted to get into
/ the fight as quickly as they could and
calculated they had better opportunity
with the British than to wait until the
first American expeditionary force came
overseas. These men are being given
every available facility to go home.

Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.
A Few Kind Words.

Every man is perfectly aware of
this elementary fact about women
and he uses it when he goes a-court-
ing. Then he tunes his harp and sings
the song of his lady loves PROJECTIONS,
and his own devotion, and he keeps
up theserenades until she harkens to
him and marries him, believing, poor,
deluded thing, that she is in for a
continuous performance of adulatlon
for the balance of her life
Otherwise there would be no we'd
ding. No girl wants a husband so
badly that she would marry man
who told her just once that he loved
her and never mentioned the matter
again. Nor would any maiden ac-
company youth to the altar if he
was forever reminding her of her
shortcomings, and never even made a
casual reference to her charms.
Soft talk and compliments are the
bait with which a man goes fishing
for a wife. yet when he has caught
her he kicks over the bait can. Which
explains why so many wives wriggle
off the hook, or else degenerate into
poor, flabby. floppy matrimonial fish
| that are not attractive enough to
keep,a man interested in them.
Men excuse themselves for never
praising their wives, or telling their
wives that they love them, by saying
that a woman ought to have enough
sense to take some things for granted.
For Heavens sake. did they not tell
their wives, thirty years ago, that
they loved them, and didn't they
marry 'em to prove it, and haven't
they worked like dray horses to sup
port 'em ever since? What more
proof of deathless devotion can any
sane woman want than thatl Isn't
working your own fingers to the bone
to give your wife luxuries a lot bet
ter test of love than holding her
hand?
All true. Nobody can deny it. And
yet a woman must have the continu-
Gus assurance of love to be able to
believe that it is still alive, just as
she must look at her baby hundred
times day to see that it is still
breathing. Nor has she the calm
philosophy that will enable her to de-
duce that as long as her husband isn't
knocking her personal appearance, or
raging over the bills that he is filled
with admiration of her beauty and
good management.
Words count more than actions with
women. They believe that a man loves
them so long as he tells them so, and
they doubt his love when he is silent.
They are happy when a man praises
and they grow discouraged when he
gobbles, down the food that they have
spent hours preparing for him, with
out a word of comment, or when he
merely mumbles m-m-m when they
have executed some mastery economy.
Men forget that husbands praise
OF blame. or his silence. makes sue
cess or failure for their wives, and
| that between the vibrant, sentient,
articulate love that assures a woman
every day it is still as fresh and vital
as it was in the days of courtship. and

| that it is alive, there is the difference
between heaven and hell for a
woman.

america can find lesson in the
sad experience of the British railways
during the war. Before the British
government took over the railways
they were entirely solvent. Today
they are being run at loss estimated
at $3.50 600 every day. knowing that
their services were indispensable. Brit
ish railway employees compelled the
government to increase their wages
more than 100 per cent, completely
swallowing up all net earnings. The
government did not see fit to increase
freight rates correspondingly. The
Consequence is that British taxpayers
are being called upon to pay for the
upkeep of transportation facilities.
The government originally agreed to
retain the roads for two years after
the ending OF the war. but the outlook
now is that the roads will not go back
to their private owners. says Forbes
Magazine. since any attempt in this
direction would bring about financial
chaos.

There appears to be great fear in
certain quarters that in joining a
league of nations America may sur
render some of her rights and sacri-
flee a part of her independence. There
is no reason why she should do any
thing of the sort. There is no country
in the world so little in need of a
league of nations as ours. There is no
nation better prepared to take care of
itself than is the United States. If
the European nations desire to re-

Testimony given by Miss Ethel M.
Smith. of the Washington branch of
the National Womens Trades-Union
league at the recent hearing of the
case of the women street car conduc-
tors of Cleveland before the national
war labor board at Westinghouse
which a decision was rendered favor
able to the women-threw interesting
lfght on the greater hardships, as COM
pared with street car work, of the jobs
typically considered women's work,
such as mattresses, scrub women and
laundry workers. Miss Smiths testi-
rnony cited occupations usually consid-
cred suitable for women which involve
immeasurably greater physical hard
ship and often much more protracted
hours than the street car work. She
stated that a waitress walks ten miles
in q ten hour day and carries 1900
pounds of food and dishes in that time
that laundry workers are subject to
dangerous extremes of temperature
and must handle heavy machinery;
and that the work of scrub women is
much more laborious than a conduc-
tors job on the street cars. q.
