NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-There is q
movie actress who lives In a square
OF tumbledown houses out, of the
current of traffic down town. She
has an apartment that she has fixed
up to suit her bizarre taste. 1t is
the nocturnal rendezvous for a rath-
er gay set that drifts In after the
theater.
There is the constant rattle of
poker chips, the clink of glasses and
clouds of cigarette smoke. The
apartment Is filled to suffocation'
with bric-a-brac. antiques and uss-
less junk. Carved ivory elephants
and imitation scorpions hang from
chandeliers. The walls are paneled
with Russian batik and Hindoo
draperics.
Stuffed snake skins are entwined
about mirrors and there was a little
white fuzzy dog that refused to
come out from under a window
seat and one could not blame II.
Books are piled about in. endless
profusion-poems by Service, pellum
editions of old masters and the
later effusions of Marie Corelli and
Harold Bell Wright.

and silver kimono who salaams and
shuffles about in sandals. There is

The injured calf was examined
and IL was reported that there was
big bruise on it that appeared to
have been made recently, that might
have been made by a brick.
That clinched the case against
Mamie. although she denied that she
ever threw any bricks at all.
The court sentenced her TO thirty
days and then put her on probation
with a warning to keep out OF

MAkAWELl PLANTATION
OPENS NEW CLUB HOUSE

Makaweli Plantations new club
house, located at Camp 2 was opened
last Tuesday evening with a big pro
gram of vaudeville acts and movies.
Ernest All Nee made the big hit OF
the evening as Jumbo" from the
South Sea Islands. He sure kept them
all laughing. Following the program
Mr.. Damkroger explained the regulat
ions of the new club house, which was
interpreted by Rev. Kamide and Mr.
Campos into Japanese and the Illocano
dialect.
The club house was just recently
constructed by the plantation and is
very well adapted to serve it's purpose
The building is 42x30 with screened
opening three feet wide under the
caves, with the numerous windows, al
lows plenty of light and air.
The building is equipped with two
pool tables, counter for the sale OF
smokes and soda water. table games
library, reading and writing tables and
a phonograph. 1t will be open and
under supervision every evening and

enthusiastic about their new club
house.

THE FARM LOAN BOARD

W. c. Avery, secretary of the Farm
Loan Board, came over Friday and re-
turns this evening. During this time
he has made a pretty thorough round
of the homestead interests of the Is
land and reports, with satisfaction a
great deal Of activity and much sub
stantial development. The homesteads
all have a very prosperous appearance
and very promising outlook.
There are some As loans out to
Kauai homesteaders, aggregating$70,-
900. The limit, under the Farm Loan
Act, is $3,000 which the secretary
declares is not nearly enough. That
crop for an average sized hamestead,
yet it ties up the security so that it
cannot be used as collateral for out
side loans. The limit should be at
least $4,000
The loans are not in the form Of
cash turned over to the homesteader
to use as he wishes, perhaps very un-
wisely, but his bills, for approved ex.
penditures, are paid on his account
One of the most valuable benefits
of the Farm Loan enterprise, is the
very helpful advice and guidance
which the inexperienced homesteader
receives at the hands of the Loan
Board.

TWO TEACHERS GET LOST
ON MlLOlIi EScuEp

What might easily have been a
tragic misadventure occurred one dav
last week at Kokee. Two lady teach
ers, unfamiliar with the country un-
dertook to make the trip to the Kala-
lau pail without a guide. The got
detailed instructions in regard to the
trail, which they understood was
quite clear and easy to find. They
set out about nine in the morning ex.
pecting to be back early in the after
noon When nightfall came and there
were no signs of them their friends
became anxious, and finally came to
&. A. Rice and E. A Knudsen for ad-
vice and assistance.
They Immediately set forth in search
of them, and finding no sign of them
at the Kaialau pail, returned and
scrutinized the Milolii trail, which
they found the ladies had taken by
mistake. Following them in the dark
ness, by tracing their tracks here and
there in the soft places, with the aid
OF lantern long way down the
Milolii trail, they finally found them
huddled up and hopeless, over little
flickering fire.
They were much overcome with
hunger, thirst and exhaustion. The
meagre little handful of chocolate and
dates they were holding against long
campaign. Needless to say they were
Historically happy to be rescued.
Their stalwart rescuers, taking each
lady on his saddle, Sir Galahad-wise,
brought them safely back to camp
about two o'clock, am.
1t is very fortunate that these two
kamaainas were available for the en-
terprise-no ordinary tenderfoot would
have been equal to it.

kOLOA NOTES

Mr.. Greenly has recently come to
koloa to take charge of the welfare
work of the plantation. Mrs. Greenly
is with him, and they will form a well
come addition to the growing social
community of Koloa
Mrs. Belts gave a very delightful
little picnic outing to a few of her
friends on Sunday afternoon at Laval
beach.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cropp gave a very de-
licious poi luncheon at their home at
koloa Sunday afternoon. The men
folk went dove shooting in the morn
ing and were rewarded for their siren
uous and successful endeavors by the
good things of the lunch. There were
eighteen guests all told-partly from
koloa, and partly from Lihue.
A grand social was given at the
home of DR.. and Mrs. Waterhouse for
the enjoyment of the young people of
Koloa, last Thursday evening. BY
seven pm. many faces showed up, and
by eight all were present Many jolly
games were played and the house rang
with merry laughter till eleven-thirty.
A social gathering of that kind is not
very common in Koloa and it gives
the young people chance to get ac-
quainted. At the same time it provid-
es a wholesome entertainment and
breaks the monotony of country life.
Everyone enjoyed the evening and was
grateful to the generous host and
hostess.

Jean Searight, California girl and a
former Palo Alto teacher, and for
twenty months secretary to Colonel
r. B. Teusler, commander in chief
of the Red Cross in Russia, arrived
home yesterday on the steamer Nile

heroism under fire during a battle

is the sister of S. Harvey Searight,
prominent automobile man of Oak

Aided 1000 Refugees
During her services in Russia Miss
Searight travelled all over the coun-
try. She aided 1000 refugees to es-
cape from the Ural mountains to
Vladivostok, when threatened by the
Bolsheviki. There they were placed
on board a Japanese freighter, the
Yomei Maru which is now coming to
this port with her cargo of human
freight bound for Petrograd. Prac-
tically all of those on board are
minor children, according to Miss
Searight, may of them being chill
dren of the Russian nobility.
"The transportation Of the little
children was fraught with danger
during the long journey from the
mountains. to the seaboard, said Miss
Searight. The travellers had to be
transported over snow-covered plains
of bleak Siberia to the vessel that
would carry them home. Miss Sea-
right accompanied and supervised the
care of the children until Valdivos-
tok was reached.

There are all right now, but if

The little children were sick, without
proper clothing, and hungry. We
managed somehow to reach the yes
sci, but it was terrible ordeal for
those little ones.
Miss Searight, as soon as she ar
rived here reported to the offices Of
the Red Cross to be relieved from
further service. She will stay forthe
present at the home Of her brother
