RUTH HAS NOT LOST
 PRESTIGE IN CUBA, SAY GIANT OWNERS

New York. December 25.-Much interest has been evidenced over the United States in the invasion of Cuba by Babe Ruth. Press reports from the tour of the mighty smgger have been meagre and vague and just what he has been n alter of speculation, John McGraw and Charles Stoneham. just back from Cuba, have some interesting things to say about the matter.
 Stoneham and McGraw claim that. Babe Ruth has not lost any prestige on ac- count of any ability to hit home runs while touring Cuba. The magnates say that baseball fans in Cuba are just as wild, if not wilder, about the champion circuit swatter than the bugs of this country. They follow him about the streets, they say. calling him "Baabee," ;" the English word Babe" evidently prov ing too much for their Latin tongues
 "Babe isn't playing ball just now, or wasn't when MT, Stoneham and I left Cuba His original contract had expired and he refused to sign a new one at reduced rates He received sl,0G0 a game for a series of exhibitions at Havana and S1, 5G0 each for the two games he played at Santiago and wouldn't accept a cut to s5Oo per game.
 ~tI don't believe he knows himself just when he will return to the states. When I saw him last he was considering a proposition that would entail a trip to the City of Mexico, but whether to play baseball or to act in the movies l do not know"

)E TO MEET MGOVERN HERE
STATE SPORTSMEN'S ASSOCIATIONS ARE
 NECESSARY, CARNEY
By PETER P. CARNEY Editor National Sports Syndicate

Through organization we get r.- suits.
 And for that reason alone there every state qualified to represent those who enjoy shooting in it's various forms, trapping, fishing, etc, and so that the results may be even better there should be d local association.
 Every one who fishes, hunts, traps in the fish and game laws of his stats and when we are all interested ws will have good associations and even better laws than we have today. Every one can do his share by affi- Hating with A local organization and then having the local body join the state association.
 No matter how enthusiastic indi- viduals may be in their efforts for the better protection of fish and game. they can accomplish little without or ganization, for in mum bers lies the strength to accomplish much of bene- fit to every one who desires to retain the opportunities for continued sport in the field and on the waters. We owe it to ourselves to make these state associations worthy. When new laws are desired it takes concerted action to put them over. We know only too well that lawmakers as a rule pay only attention to a mass of voters. ITS POSSIBILITIES An organized body of true sports , men can do more to prevent illegal fishing and hunting than is commonly believed. Real sportsmen will not violate the laws nor will they permit others to do it. Working together through the association, this can be accomplished:
 Game can be restored.
 Fish can be brought back in old time abundance
 Stream pollution can he abated Forest fires can be checked.
 Clean sportsmanship can be made popular
 Good legislation can be enacted.
 The game hog can be checked.
 Sportsmanship can be brought into high repute.

THE AGE OF MAN

Scientists and artists have been
working together to give us a picture,
as reliable as possible, of the earliest
man who lived upon our globe In
several museums we may now study
statues or heads carefully reconstruct
ed from the evidence discovered. The
most interesting pictures, however, are
made by constructing actual scenes
in the caves or on the planes they
once inhabited, and placing lifelike
figures in them surrounded by the
crude implements used in hunting and
housekeeping. The age of man is, of
course, disputed, and varies widely ac-
cording to the different estimates.
The so-called Neolithic man whose
relics have been found in many parts
of the world was probably 10000
years old perhaps much older. Many
of the relics are believed by scientists
to be 100000 years old, while some
scientists place the earliest man OF
whom we have any record as far back
as 100000 years. One way to measure
their age is TO calculate by our lnowl-
edge Of geology how long it required
to form the strata which cover the
relics of the early man.-Boys' Life

transporting passengers to and from

1t is possible that the dining room
of the Maui Hotel may later be closed,
but this has not yet been definitely
decided upon and will probably be de-

Arrest For Robbery
.SpOiIS Wedding Plan
Porto RiCan Who Burglarized Two
Stores Tripped Up By Sale OF
Stolen Saddle-COnfeSSeS Plan
ned To Wed Tomorrow

In the arrest on Wednesday of this
week OF Ramon Crespo, Porto RiCan,
The mystery of the recent burglaries
Of the Camp / and the Hamakuapolo
stores has been cleared up. Incident
ally some $50 worth of stolen goods
was recovered.
incidentally also Crespo's arrest will
neCessitate the postponement of his
marriage, which was scheduled to
come off tomorrow night. With the
proceeds of his burglaries he had
been fitting up quite cozy nest at
Kokomo for his anticipated bride the
police say.
The Camp l robbery occurred on
January 90 and that of the Hamakua-
poko Store on February 90. In the
first instance entrance was effected by
cutting a hole through a door with a
brace and bit, several boards being
thus cut off making an opening large
enough to enter. At the Hamakuapo-
ko Store the robber crawled under the
building and bored his way through
the floor. In each instance he got
away with $40 or $50 worth of mis-
cellaneous merchandise.
Crespo's downfall came about
through his theft of a saddle from an
Okinawa living at Camp 8. He lSter
sold the saddle to another Okinawa in
Kokomo where it was later recognized
and claimed by its rightful owner re-
sulting in Crespo's arrest. Following
up a hunch which Sheriff Crowell got
from the arrest, Crespo's house was
searched, with result that the rest of
the stolen property was brought to
light The accused man confessed to
the police.
He was formerly an employee of
the Paia plantation, living at Kaheka,
but was discharged some time ago
since which time he has been living
in Kokomo.
