HXCEPT for the first three months
~ in periods of mourning, Grape is
used sparingly in mourning millinery.
1t has been replaced by the several
kinds of silk that are used for making
the exquisitely neat hats that are APP
proved for this special kind of head
wear.
Georgette and malines, with silk
nets, are to be counted among avail
able silks, besides the varieties
that are manufactured especially for
mourning wear. The last is the best
liked by designers when they are re-
quired to make tailored hats.
Very little trimming finds place on
these tailored hats, and such orna-
ments as are used, are oftenest made
of the same silk as the hat, or of
faille or grosgrain ribbon. Both in
making hats and trimmings, intricate
and perfect workmanship is at a pre-
MUM. Graceful shapes, conservative
in lines and size are the correct begin
ming for all mourning millinery The
group of three silk hats shown in the
picture above may be taken as cri
terions by which to measure up SINH
lar hats.
Each of these shapes has a brim that

velvets. as henna, sapphire and kings
blue, make up superb wraps in which
the brocade forms deep yoke and the
velvet a cape which is gathered to
the yoke. The satin cape which is
shown here is type that portrays the
favored lines of these wraps.
Any appropriate color may be chosen
for this remarkably well-designed gar
ment. 1t has deep fitted yoke sup
porting huge puff of satin, which is
substituted for the usual fur collar.
The lower part of the wrap is very full
and gathered onto the yoke. The lin
ing is not SO full and allows the bot
tom edge of the cape to be gathered
into a little fullness and turned I'M
der. Very wide black velvet ribbon
tackled to the base of the yoke and fin
ished with loop and ends at the
front, makes sparkling contrast with
the light satin and a wonderful finish
ing touch. Occasionally one sees cape
of black moire made with deep yoke
and the yoke ornamented with three
bands of narrow velvet ribbon. Black
satin capes are always dependable and
always worn.

THE loose-hanging ample capelike
i wraps, from plain capes to
draped dolmans that were worn in rich
furs and fabrics during the winter
months made strong appeal to wom-
en- who dress smartly They proved
very graceful and becoming and ex-
ceeded coats in elegance, even when
coats were made of the same mate
rails. They grew in popularity and it
followed that wraps for. wear at the
Southern resorts and for evening or
formal afternoon dress in the spring,
have been designed on the same lines.
At the resorts capes in both quiet
and lively colors and of many kinds of
materials are noticeable on women
who dress with distinction Some of
them refuse to dispense with fur in
collars or bands and one may see
capes of duvetyn in dark orchid or
purple tones with marten collars, or of
deep-rose color embroidered in gray
with gray squirrel collar. Satin in
heavy quality appears in turquoise, in
white and in black lined with a color,

was jumping about in astonishing fashion, The
thought Immediately popped into my mind that
static signals from some other planet We're prob
ably responsible This idea took such hold on
me that 1 made the definite suggestion that there
be established in the ore fields of Michigan sta
ton where scientific vigil might be kept, in the
hope that the great masses of ore in that region
would attract magnetic signals from interplanetary
space.
IF we are to accept the theory of Mr.. Marconi
that these signals are being sent out by inhabi-
tants of other planets, we must at once accept
with it the theory of their advanced development
Either they intellectual equals or our SUI
periors. 1t would be stupid for us to assume that
we have a corner all the intelligence in the
universe"
NSola Tesla, the famous Serbian inventor and
electrical expert says: "Nlarcons idea of COM
municating with the other planets is the greatest
and most fascinating problem confronting the
human Imagination today To insure success a
body of competent scientists should be organized
to study all possible plans and put into execution
the best. The matter should be directed probably
by astronomers with sufficient backing from men
with money and Imagination. Supposing that
there intelligent human beings on Mars sue
cess, is easily within the range of possibility In
March. 1907, stated in the Harvard Illustrated
Magazine that experiments looking to communica-
ton with other planets should be undertaken
"In 1899 built an electric plant in Colorado
and obtained activities of 1S,000OOO horsepower
In the course of my experiments I employed
receiver of virtually unlimited constituencies There
were no other wireless plants near, and at that
time no other wireless plants anywhere on this
earth of sufficient range to affect mine. One day
my ear caught what seemed to be regular signals
l knew that they could not have been produced
upon the earth The possibility that they came
from Mars occurred to me, but the pressure of
business affairs caused me to drop the experiment.
THE thing think, that should try to deyel-
op is a plan akin to picture transmission, by means
of which we could convey to the inhabitants of
Mars knowledge of earthly FORMS This would
enable up to exchange with them not only simple
primitive facts, but involved conceptions To talk
to Mars seems to me only matter of electric
power and perseverance,"
Frank Dyson, British astronomer royal, believes
we could get HertZian from other planets
Prof Edward Branley, Paris, inventor of the
coherer, is sceptical. Prof. Domenico Argentieri
Rome, says the supposed signals are worthy of
careful observation.
Prof. Albert Einstein, the Germant astronomer
and author of the theory Of "Relativity" that is
apparently upsetting all accepted doctrines, be-
ieves that Mars and other planets Inhabited
but if intelligent creatures are trying to commune
cate with the earth he should expect them to use

with irregular folds and wings of silk

PROSPERITY OF HAWAII

The 1920 crop of Hawaiian sugar,
at present prices will probably ex-
ceed 100 million dollars in cash value.
While the profits on the same will be
very much reduced by the increased
cost of production, there will be a
counterbalancing advantage that viii!
count for something, in the fact that
all of our sugar will go to the Crockett
refinery in California, and we will
thus be saved the expense and delay
of sending a considerable portion to
the distant East. This saving will
amount to $40 or s12 ton. This
change is due to the increase of de
mand on the Coast, and the falling
off of the Philippine supply diverted
in other directions.
In this, our day of phenominal pros
perity, we need to make hay while
the sun shines, and beware OF en-
travagance and wildcat investments.

ground Expert is to spend the week
of February Sth on Kauai. He comes
at the invitation of the Department
Of Education, will visit the schools of
the island, and, so far as time allows,
the plantations, in the study he is to
make of local rural conditions and
needs in the recreational line In
every district the people as we'll as

PROMISES WELL
FOR AHUK|N|

A. II. Hobart, making soundings
and borings at Ahukini, has finished
his work and returned to Honolulu.
lie put down literally hundreds of
test holes in the bottom of the harbor,
over an area of 1000 square feet, or
roughly, 25 acres, with view to de-
termining the character of the mater
ial there. These borings went down
to about 60 feet below the surface
of the water, and 80 or 40 feet be-
low the bottom, and have pretty we'll
established the fact that this bottom
consists of soft coral and sand, which
can easily be dredged.
There are, however, two or three
small areas, projecting islands of aa,
or broken rock, that run up into the
coral bed. These, however, are of
such small area that they will not
seriously handicap the dredging.
There is every probability, on the
basis of this thorough examination,
that the harbor enterprise will be
undertaken and pushed to an early
finish.
This preliminary work has been
done by the Hawaiian Dredging Co.,
of which w. F. Dillingham; is the re-
sponsible head.

Kapaa Notes


Many of the new Wailua homestead
ers are already on their lots, prepar-
ing their lands for early cultivation,
due to the new law enacted by the
last legislature, which requires sue
cessful applicants to occupy their
holdings within 80 days.
Mr.. c. B. Hudson, expert tractor
man of the Schuman Carriage Co.,
is here showing E. Liu, one of the
new homesteaders, all the fine points
connected with the successful oper-
alton of a Cleveland tractor.
A rather stiff wind, which followed
the storm last week, blew the roof
off the stable of the local blacksmith
shop, but did no further damage.
Miss X. F. Chong is the proud
possessor of brand new Dodge
touring car, which was delivered on
Saturday. Miss Chong, although
resident of Kapaa, is a member of
the teaching staff of the Hanamaulu
school.
Mr.. John Martins and Miss Kina
Kolae, both of Kapaa, were married
last week by Rev. Kaauwai. The
ceremony was private one, no guests
being invited.
Mr.. Isaac Kaiu, Kapaa homesteader
had new Essex car delivered to him
last week with which he is burning
up the roads, trying to convince his
friends that his new car is all that
it is claimed for it.
Plans for the formation of soccer
league, with four teams, are being
prepared. The baseball diamond has
been measured and marked with the
necessary lines and the goal posts
are already up. 1t is expected that
the first game will be played in about
two weeks.
Information from reliable sources
indicate that the Nawiliwili Garage,
Limited, is looking for suitable
site preparatory to the establishment
of branch here. A thoroughly
modern repair shop, with full line
of accessories ought to be a success
here.

The Thrift Campaign

j. Nj. Lydgate, chairman of the
Thrift Campaign, made a tour of
the schools of the Island last
week, beginning at Kekaha and
ending at Hanalei. Mr.. j. o.
Warner kindly rendered the same
service for the Lihue district and
KalaheO. Armed with taking
picture posters and a story that
fitted them, they met "A most en-
thusiastic and cordial reception
everywhere, and the seed so hap
PLY sown can hardly fail of fruit
age.
Some of the smaller schools
which do not often have the ad,
vantage of outside interest and
inspiration, especially appreciated
and enjoyed the occasion. There
should be more such campaigns
among these schools.

the purpose of electing officers
and outlining a program for the
ensuing year. The meeting was
well attended and very crafty

The appointment of committees
including the superintendent of
the Sunday School was the prin-
cipal business. Rev. and Mrs.

Men Needed
Most of All

Mr.. Lloyd r. Killam, territorial
secretary of the Y.M.C.A., made a
flying business visit to Kauai on
Friday and Saturday. Mr.. Kill
lam, who has just returned from
the mainland where he attended
the international convention of
the Young Mems Christian Assoc
iation recently held in Detroit, re-
ports that the convention reveal
ed unparalleled enthusiasm for
the peace time program of the
Y.M.C.A. Over 1900 delegates,
representing both laymen and
employed officers, attended the
convention. The most serious
obstacle ahead is the shortage of
men to occupy the field. Money
for buildings and equipment is
plentiful and forthcoming, but
there are not enough trained men.
Mr.. Killam also attended the
Students Volunteer convention at
Des Moines where there were more
than 5000 college students assem-
bled as volunteers for the mission
field. He had the pleasure also
of meeting Rev. Paul T. Kanemori,
the japanese evangelist, in New
York, Detroit and Des MOines.
1t will also interest the Kauai
friends of M. Watada, of Grove
Farm, to know that Mr.. Killam
found him getting on splendidly
in the college of agriculture, Uni
versity of Missouri, where Wat.
ada has already made many
friends, thanks to his ukulele and
his pleasing personality.

The Strike
Probabilities

The latest available information
in regard to the labor strike
makes IT highly improbable that
the actual strike-meaning any
prolonged cessation of. work
will take place on the outer is
lands. The policy of the strike
leaders seems to be to keep the
outer island labor forces at work,
to furnish funds for the striking
center on Oahu.
1t is also very doubtful if the
Filipinos will engage in the
strike, and if this condition holds
most of the plantations will be in
conf baratively Independent posi-
ton, at least for time.
Meantime the INDUSTRIOUS, WHO
haves not participated in the
strike, are to be taxed $5 or $40 a
month to provide the sinews of
war. This will soon become pret-
ty wearisOme.
Plantation men feel sanguine
that the outcome will not be seri-
Gus, and that the strike conditions
and the upset relations connected
Herewith will not last very long.
There is too much actual cream
coming to labor right now for
them to foregO it for something
probmematical in the future.

A fine ornamental shade tree that
would probably do well in these Is
lands and prove a valuable acquisition
is the Paulownia, which comes origi-
nally from China and Japan, but is
now spreading rapidly through Cal
ifornia and the South. 1t makes a
very rapid growth, and most beauti-
full large, violet flowers, in panicie
lunches at ends of twigs and branch
es. The leaves are sometimes 80
inches in diameter and are very
shapely and attractive.
1t grows easily, and bears large
quantities of small, winged seeds,
which insure its ready self-propaga-
ton. 1t ought to be a valuable tree
for us. Someone should try it.

First Hawaiian Hymn

When the Brig Thaddeus. bearing
the first band of missionaries from
New England to the Hawaiian Islands,
arrived off Kailua, Hawaii, in April
1920, Rev Asa Thurston and Rev.
Hiram Bingham climbed mast and
sang "The Head of the Church Tri-
umphant," the hymn used at their
ordination at Goshen. Connecticut, in
September, 1919, just before their de-
parture for the Islands.
This hymn has been Incorporated
in the music which will accompany
the pageant for the Centennial, written
by Miss Ethel Damon, of Honolulu, to
be presented in Honolulu in April,
during the centuary celebration of
the arrival of the missionaries.
This is said to be the first hymn
ever sung to the native Hawaiians,
and the first of of the efforts of the
missionaries to spread the gospel in
the Pacific. During the pageant
which is to be presented on the
slopes of Rocky Hill, above the Pun
ahou academy grounds, the same
hymn will be sung as the occasional
by all the schools and Hawaiian
choruses that can be grouped on that
place.
