ZOO GIRLS NARROWED

HILO, Island of Hawaii, It. H.-By
on a tropical isle
1000 miles OF more from home, and
camping on the brink of the crater
of Kilauea, one of the worlds greatest
active volcanoes. 200 girls. most OF
them pretty and all of them charm
ing, are spending a vacation of two
months in a manless Eden.
This is not a scenario; it's a des-
cription of Hawaii's summer camp for
homeless and homesick school teach
ers.
A few weeks ago some 500 women
school teachers of Hawaii hear the
sad news that they could not get back
to the states for their summer vaca-
ton, the army transports being book
ed full with army officers and SOL
diers and the passenger lines being
sold out for months ahead, war serv-
ice having taken many of the Paci-
fic's finest steamers to the Atlantic.
When the teachers predicament be-
came known l. A. Thurston. Honolulu
newspaper publisher, suggested the
idea of a summer camp for teachers
at Kilauea, where the great elevation
and cool climate would give the young
women a pleasant change from the
rather depressing summer heat of the
Hawaiian lowlands. The co-opera-
ton of the department of public edu-
cation, the Y. NJ. c. A. and the army
was enlisted, the military camp at the
volcano being obtained for the accom-
of the teachers and such Y.

Kathleen, Kitty and Kate.

Kathleen, Kitty and Kate are

they spring from Katherine and are
really only translations, diminu-

popular of feminine names. No
name is more universal than Kath-
crime and her various derivatives,
partly from beauty of sound and
partly from association.
The graceful Kathleen originated
in Ireland, after Katherine had be-
come established in England. It
is an adaptation of the old Ossianic
Cathlin, meaning the beam Of the

Of the stars.
Kitty and Kate are old English

The Years Review.

With this issue The Argus presents Its an
ments and progress for Rock Island and vicin-
ity. On the whole the showing is distinctly
creditable one, though combination OF
causes has held material gains down below
the records of number Of past years. High
costs, labor scarcity and other handicaps have
cut in on the improvement totals both public
and private, but the work done has been Of a
permanent nature. Makeshifts to stretch the
purchasing power Of the dollar In this respect
have been discouraged and the growth that
has taken place was Of lasting sort.
= Rock Island, of course, has shared with 9th
or centers the difficulties arising from prevail
ing cost standards, scarcity Of fuel and mate
rials for manufacture and impaired transpor-
tation facilities. Owing to favorable loca-
ton and other advantages. however, 1t has
come through the season relatively better of
In these respects than the majority Of Ameri-
can cities 1t has met and grappled with its
own peculiar reconstruction problems and has
right to feel that it has made real progress
in dealing with them.
A year ago It was freely predicted that this
locality would lose heavily Though the stop
ping Of war manufacturing, important con-
tracts having been placed here. Many ex-
pected that most, II not all Of the thousands
who had removed to the quad-city community
from other places would return to their homes,
that there would be many empty houses and
considerable unemployment. Happily these
fears were all without foundation. The growth
Of the community experienced during the war
turned out to be permanent Though a good
many new houses have been completed and
occupied since the first Of the year the demand
for living quarters is as great as ever. Fac
tories quickly turned to peace work and in
stead of a surplus Of labor there was scarcity.
which has persisted up to the present time
and promises to continue indefinitely.
For the coming year the outlook is dis
tinctly favorable A number Of important con-
struction enterprises are planned and there
will be, from all Indications a decided picking
up in public improvement work. Among other
things, the community has strong hope of be-
ing connected for the first time with nation

cago. Some tangible benent is expected to
result from permanent solution of the ques-
ton Of railroad control in which this locality
feels special interest The outlook is also
bright for waterway development on a more
advanced scale than for several years.
The four cities, Rock Island, Moline, East
Moline and Davenport are working in closer
harmony than ever before. Many indications
point to further development of the COM
munity spirit. That of itself has been one of
the really worth while accomplishments Of
the old year and the gathering Of its fruits al
ready has started.
On the whole Rock Island finds much In the
last year to inspire confidence in its future.

CHRISTMAS MEMORJEs

There's a tang Of Joy and frolic Ii
the keen and frosty air and the
happy Christmas spirit makes the
whole world glad and fair, and it
sends my thoughts a-roaming down
the road Of long ago to a little home
that nestled mid the hills Of DRIFT
ing snow. There was love and
there was laughter round the IRE
lights ruddy blaze, there was cheer
and there was music, there were
tales Of other days, and I had no
dream or longing for the big world
great and wide: for the world could
hold no glory like the blessed
Christmastide. When l looked at
dear old. Daddy, smiles like sun
shine on his face, there was moth
ing worth the asking for beyond
that chimney place; and when
Mother told the story Of the Babe
Of Bethlehem, life was like the
brightest jewel IN . priceless dia-
dem. There's q feel Of Christmas
sladness, In the tingling afr today,
and the world has left -its cares be-
hind and thrown its grisfs away:
and my memory goes roaming to
the old HOMES CHEEKY glow, shining
out across the valley, down the
road Of long ago.

Catching Them Young.

A lad who INDUCES in cigarets
or = pipe while attending high
school is q pretty dangerous per-
son for real boys and girls to be

No man who understands the
drug action Of tobacco will deny
that it produces certain character

young, immature individuals. One
effect is a stunting in growth when
the tobacco habit is acquired at a
tender age. Another well known
effect of tobacco is impairment Of
mental acuity, SO that the smart

that in many years he had noticed
that no smoker had ever attained

There is zone direction in which
it is too obvious that the tobacco
smoking youth is rather precocious
and that is in the matter of sevual
life. 1t is for this reason that say
