HAWAII NATIVE RACE WAY
 TO EXTINCTION

HONOLULU, Sept. 10 (by Associ- ated Press) ).-Hawaii's native race will be extinct in 75 years if the ratio of births and deaths set by the off, cial figures for the fiscal year 1919- 20 is maintained This is indicated by the report of Dr. F. B. Trotter, president of the territorial board of health which shows that during the year the death of pure -blooded Ha- waiians totaled 1909, while there were 676 births.
 There are approximately 25,000 pure blooded Hawaiians living on the Ha- waiian islands, according to esti- mates. Reports for past years show decreases in their numbers
 In marked contrast with the evi- dence that the Hawaiians are mem- bers of a dying race" are the vital statistics dealing with those who rep resent mixtures of Hawaiian with Caucasian and Asiatic blood.
 Of the Caucasian-Hawaiians, 249 died during the fiscal year, while there were 699 births in that section of the territory's population. The Asiatic-Hawaiian strain-principall Chinese Hawaiian recorded 103 deaths and 491 births.
 The natural increase in the Japan csc population of the territory during the year was 3,366. During the year there were 1868 births and 1,597 deaths among the Japanese.

ROMANTIC COMEDY IS
 BILLED FOR TONIGHT

Bryant Washburn and Wanda Haw- ley are the stars in a rapid fire and drama, "The Gypsy Trail'' booked to- night at the Empress. The picture has everything that an ideal love story should comprise-the appeal of young love, of the woodland road the gypsy strain, and the romantic lure. The action is rapid, light and breezy, and humorous situations natural and un- forced, and the play, as whole, ranks as high class entertainment
 A Pathe News and an education film complete the program.

CAMPS IN INTERIOR
 REPORT BIG YIELD

The Panama Valley placer mining district will produce S1,600,000 ill gold this season, according to preliminary estimates made by Volney Richmond, general manager for the Northern Commercial Company, who has just completed his annual tour of interior Alaska Mr. Richmond estimates the total of gold production for interior Alaska this year at S2,985,000 and the Dawson district total at $1,500,000.
 The production in practically every camp has been curtailed to some ex- tent by lack of rainfall, creating a water which delayed seriously sluicing operations. MT. Richmond says that some of the camps have almost been Tolovana, during the summer, had only II days of sluicing, that being in May.

CHAPTER XVII

IL was late afternoon before Gle
land got his luggage unpAcked and
himself settled In the Hotel
Rocha mbeau. where he had been
driven from the steamer and had
taken rooms.
The French cuisine, the French
Prietor and personnel. the French
cafe in front. all helped to make
his homecoming a little less lonely
and strange. Sunlight fell on the
quaint yellow brick facade and old
fashioned wrought iron railings.
and made his musty rooms and tar
. nished furniture and hangings al
most cheerful.
He had not telephoned to Ste
phanie He had nothing to say to
her over the wire. From the mo-
ment he crossed the gang plank the
growing resentment had turned to
a curious. impotent sort OF anger
which excited him and stined any
other emotion.
She had not known that he was
coming back. He had made no re-
sponse to her cablegram. She could
not dream that he had landed; that
he was within a stones throw OF
her lodgings.
Place for Self-erpression.
The whole thing. too. seemed un-
real to him-to find himself here In
New York again amid It's clamor,
It's dinginess, its sham architecture
and Grass ugliness back again In
New York-and everything in his
life 80 utterly changed!-no home
the Eightieth street house still
closed and wired. and the old SER
wants gone or dead; and the city
empty OF interest and lonely as a
wilderness to him since his fathers
death-and now Steve gone! Moth
ing, now, to hold him here-for the
ties of friends and clubs had loos-
ened during his years abroad. and
his mind and spirit had become
formed In other molds.
Yet here he knew he must do his
work IL ever he was to do any.
Here was the place for the native
born--here his workshop where he
must use and fashion all that he
had witnesses and learned OF life
during the golden hours through
! which he sauntered under the love-
>ly skies OF an older civilization.
Here was the place and nov was
the time for self-expression. for ere

tation of the life and manners OF

His pretty countess had said 70
him once:
"Only what you have seen. what
you have lived and seen others live:
only what you detect from the clear
minded, cool, emotionless analysis
of your own people, is worth the
telling. Only this carries convtc-
tion. And. when told with all the
cunning simplicity and skill OF an
artist, IL carries with IL that au-
thority which leaves an impression
indelible! Go back to your own

to write worth reading"
Thinking of these things, he lock-
ed his door on rooms now more

the street.

A primrose sunset light filled the
street; the almost forgotten specific
odor OF New York invaded his men,

ent from that of any other city.
For every city in the world has its
own odor-not always perfume.

NeW England
Dinners
BY Loretto g. Lynch,

~NE Of the institutions Of New
England is the Boiled New
~ England Dinner. This dinner
is Initiated, but often one would not
recognize II.
The New Englander is particular
about the cut of corned beef used.
Many suppose that any cut will do.
But to have a New England cut one
must insist upon getting the fancy
brisket," known by the "selvage'
on the lower side and the absence
of bones. 1t requires longer cook
ing than other cuts, for 1t Is close
and fine grained.
To properly cook corned beef.
rinse the meat with cold water and
tie or skewer into shape. Put 1t
over the fire, covered with colo
water. Heat slowly to the boiling
point. After boiling five minutes
remove the scum and let simmer
gently until tender. From five to
eight hours will be required. This.
of course, will depend upon the
weight of the meat.
Avoid Rapid Boiling.
To boil 1t quickly or attempt to
hasten the cooking will only tough
en- the meat In this respect. let me
say that the fireless cooker is ideal.
One cannot hurry the fireless, and.
considering that the cooking process
takes so long. it is more economical
to resort to the fireless.
But the New England dinner con-
sists of more than corned beer.
With II Is served little corned
pork. This may be cooked in the
same pot or another pot in the
same manner as the corned beef.
Cabbage also is served with the
corned beef. To prepare this, cut
the cabbage into quarters; then
soak in cold salted water for half
an hour to bring to light the tiny,
almost invisible insects that cling
to the inner leaves. Make ready
potful Of boiling water. Plunge the
cabbage leaves into it. Boil uncov-
cred until the center part OF the
cabbage Is tender.
The water may be salted toward
the end Of the cooking. Sailing the
water at the beginning OF the cook
ing tends to tougher the fiber of the
cabbage. This Is true of most
vegetables. The odor OF the cap-
bage Is much less noticeable II the
pot Is left uncovered. This seems
strange, but 1t Is fact.
Cooked in Meat Stock.
After the corned beef Is removed
arrange to keep 1t warm until the
pared potatoes and yellow turnips
are cooked in the water in when
the meat has been cooked. The idea
of cooking the cabbage In sepa-
rate pot is to make 1t more easy OF
digestion. It seems 70 interfere
with some digestions II 1t Is cooked
with the meat In any case, avoid
overlooking cabbage. Twenty min
utes to half an hour Is sufficient.
In serving the New England an
ner have the plates warm. BE sure
your carving knife Is sharp.
serving consists Of a slice or two OF
corned beef, a slice Of corned pork,
some cabbage, piece OF yellow
turnip, and a potato.
Pickles and pickled beets usually
are found on the table.
A dinner OF the kind will call for
a light dessert. Baked apples or
apple SAUCE, with stewed raisins or
fresh sugared fruit, are all suit
able for topping of the boiled
New England dinner.
