CONSTRUCTED HARP IN CELL
Filipino, in Honolulu Jail Has Fash
Toned Musical Instrument That Is
~. Really Remarkable.


No musicsin all Honolulu can excel
the dulcet sounds whkh emanate from
harp played down amid the cells of
the city prison by denim-clad Fill
pinO prisoner, states the Pacific Com
mercial Adviser honolulu,
The Filipino's skill in manufacturing
the harp. is Il surprise, FOR the harp
was fashioned entirely in the prison
yard and gives forth as mellow tones
as any harp from the factories of
nationally known makers.
Kukui wood was used in the con-
struction of the instrument. The goose
neck is graceful and appropriately
carved, as all harps are. The hollow
tone-giving tube is Sllillfuliy fashioned.
Every afternoon and every night the
Filipino, who is trusty, brings out his
wonderful Nttle harp and plays and
plays and plays. He plays grand
operas and musical comedies and the
latest popular airs and the melodies
that have made Hawaii famous. His
audience is a mixture of prisoners, po-
Iicemen, detectives, patients at the
emergency hospital and military police.

AS WE eEoW OLD.

As we grow OLD how lovely seems the
earth; -
How gently sets the sun across st.e
fields we know;
With what a wistful glory comes the
birth
OF the dear spring. and with how soft
a glow
The fields grow green. and OH how ten
derby the rain
Waters the happy fields and brings the
buttercup again!
AS we grow old. how sweet the summers
are;
How sweet the sunshine on the golden
wheat. ~
The evening winds that through the
NAPLES stir,
The autumn's growing like an opal
sheet.
And the still snow that laps white hands
above
The sacred place where rests the dust
we love.
AS we grow old how gently die the fires.
OF all our once ambitions, of all our once
desires!

Asbestos MINING in China.

Asbestos is mined in SZechwan
province of China, from where it is
shipped to Chunglling at a cost of %
cents per 100 pounds. In the Shensi
province there is said to be a good
mine, and also one near Paotingfu,
hut the transportation is very poor.
Several asbestos mines are located in
the vicinity of Pellin; the fibers are
saidpto he very brittle and the prod
uct is used locally. Although. Tientsin
in recent years has developed an ex-
port trade in asbestos prepared from
the native product by Chinese CON
cern, China also imports considerable
quantities of asbestos articles, such
importations in 1918 being valued at
$14S,S37.

ASK FOR patience"
WITH SALVATION ARMY
Mrs. Andrews, in Letter to The
Star, Cites Purpose Of Ap-
peal for Funds.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Every passer-by in the uptown sec
ton Of Washington Is being way-laid
this week by some pretty creature in
blue paper bonnet, who shakes a
little Salvation Army barrel at him,
tugging the while at his heart-strings
as we'll as at his purse strings, until
he lifts his hat, smiles and "loosens
up" A few blocks further on, he runs
into another; as he hurries into his
bank to cash a check or make a de-
post. he perceives a stately matron
presiding in smiling silence over a
large Salvation Army barrel, her
handsome face and smart spring bon
net relieved against the background
Of a picard bearing the sig aaah;aat
women"
They are all over town. They catch
us everywhere. They were all over
France. and our sons caught them
everywhere. They are all over the
world. wherever there is sin and suf-
to their drive against the powers OF
evil. This we must bear in mind as
our patience wears out during the
ten-day appeal now on. We are
stopped every hour Of every day. for
ten days only, but the activity of the
Salvation Army goes on, year in. year
out in all places, at all times, under
all conditions.
Please be patient, dear public. We
are not receiving tags or buttons be-
cause he Salvation Army hopes that
every friendly face in a blue bonnet
will win from US a few pennies.
These small offerings mount ire
mendously and little all along the
line every day for ten days will keep
the Salvation Army's pot boiling a
long time. It Is harder for them to
ask than it is for US to give. They re-
lieve US of burdening our memories
and consciences with the details of
suffering. So let US fill the barrels, eat
the doughnuts, sing the hymns and
encourage the girls who have volun-
teered for this tedious task, during
these ten days.
