Many Girls Who Work Spoil the
Business World for All of their Sex.
Having had our little laugh, we
fell into silence and then into melan-
choly which dragged until Daddy
exclaimed:

Daddy drew chair close to US so
that our talk couldn't possibly dis

Daddy Lorimer glowed bit as if
rather proud of an original idea!
Just why, Mr.. Lorimer?" Quite
unmoved by Daddy's unique bunch,
Martha spoke in her soft low profess
sional tone, while l who fly to arms
for any cause involving the well-be-
ing of my sex cried out:
"You never could be such a
wretch, Daddyw

"Iu tell you, Marie. I'VE a

"Oh la! la You're going to save
the poor things from themselves by
sacrificing the girls! Nothing new

But neither Martha nor Daddy

the tomb and never wear a glass,
while others call on Bauschandlomb,
and then are blind as brass. Some
have the giants size and height, and
need no gun for help, while others
invoke dynamite, and then but run

Grecian gods, resembling movie stars,
while others made of coarser clods,
are uglified by scars. Some steer
their boats from legal shoals and new

When windows have to washed in
wintertime, add some alcohol to the
water and there will be no difficult
ty about freezing. A measuring
cup, one-half pint, of alcohol to a
quart of water is a good proportion
to use. And cold water is easier on
ones hands than warm.
Choose a sunny day and follow the
sun around the house as much as pos
sible for the window washing. A
chamois skin makes the task short
and cleans the glass beautifully,

rolls, caramel custard, tea.
DINNER - Roast pork, potatoes
baked with meat, apple sauce, mash
ed turnips. French endive with

My Own Recipes.
All light colored meats should be
cooked very "well done" Pork espe-
cially must be thoroughly roasted to
be digestible. Thirty minutes per
pound is usually required for roast
ing loin roast of pork.
l cup of beef tongue, cooked.
IL cup cold boiled potatoes
(diced.)
IA cup sour apples.
1-3 cup cooked beets.
1-3 cup cooked carrots.
l tablespoon minced parsley.
French dressing.
Head lettuce.
The tongue and apples should be
cut in smaller pieces than the vege-
tables. Wash and dry tie leaves of
head of lettuce. Line a salad
bowl with the outer leaves and mix
the heart with the salad. Mix the
ingredients with a highly seasoned
French dressing and serve from the

colored fruits of various sizes. Keep
the heads we'll opened in order that
the best air circulation may be OBJ
tanned, and so that the tree and IT'S
fruits may receive the full benetlt
of the sunlight for pericidal action
and for coloring purposes. Further
more, if the tree is we'll opened and
thinned cut during the pruning sea
son much more thorough JOB OF
spraying can be done after the tree
comes in foliage.
Start the clean up work lmmed-
lately, and take advantage of the
first dry weather to burn adjoining
wood and waste lands. This viii be
one of the greatest steps in our eff
forts to handle the curculio in the
next peach crop. The committees
are uregd to get this work started as
soon as possible in the various dis
tricts.
Attention is again called to the
fact that it is very advisable to re-
move the soil from the base of the
trees if paradichlorObenzene has been
used for the peach borer. This soil
should be replaced several days aft
ter its removal. The gas that is
generated from this chemical is
about five times heavier than air, and
the soil should be removed from the
base of the trees for several days
from four to six weeks after the
chemical was applied to allow any
gas which has collected in the soil
to escape. This is recommended as
an added precaution against tree in
jury.

WHEN the mummled peach is pull
w ed off during the winter and de-
stroyed only half of the brown rot
source of infection is destroyed.
Where this mummy is attached to the
tree-twig, there is usually to be
found a small canker which is just
as capable of carrying the brown rot
infection over winter as the mummy
itself. This canker seldom causes
any serious injury to the limb as in
most cases the canker dies out in
one year and heals over, however, it
serves to carry the disease over win
ter to infect the fruit the following
season. These small cankers can US
ually be found by cutting away the
outside bark where the mummy was
attached.
This canker sourc OF brown rot in
lection should be kept in mind dur
ing the pruning operations, and with
pair of hand clippers remove the
twigs containing mummies and de-
stroy both mummies and such twigs
Immediately by burning. In this
way both sources of brown rot infec-
ton will be eliminated. Attention
should also be given to any mummies
on the ground under trees to see that
they are also destroyed, as these
mummies are able to infect fruit af-
ter they are several years old.
Do not forget the advantages of
a well opened center. Orchardists
must not lose sight of the fact that
a hundred well colored peaches of a
uniform size will net greater returns

ance cost, the repair bill, is seldom encountered. The Paige,
despite its beauty, is built to withstand the toughest sort OF
usage and will perform satisfactorily under any condition.
The Newton Automobile Exchange, Ltd, of Honolulu,
a firm whose integrity is unquestoned, stands soidly behind
every Paige put on the market. Andrews B. Corcoran, sales
manager of the Company, will personally bring two Paige
Speedster models to Maui Saturday in order that the motorists
of the Valley Isle may have an opportunity to become intimate
w acquainted with the "Most Beautiful Car in America"
These cars will only be available for a limited time and
will undoubtedly be sold almost Immediately upon their ar

and place your order at once.
Mr.. Corcoran will also take orders for Paige five and
seven passenger cars for delivery in a few days.

The Paige motor represents the sun total of current
engineering knowledge. 1t is strictly a modern achievement
"a product of the combined genius of two Continents and
the most efficient power plant in the world.
The beauty of the Paige is apparent at the first glance.
Individuality is the keynote of the design of all models, yet
nothing freakish or revolutionary is embodied, the dictates of
conservative artistic tastes alone have been followed.
Economy of operation is always an important considera-
ton and the owner of the Paige is assured of excellent re-
suits in this respect. Not only is the consumption of gasoline,

interest of cooperation 1t was de-
cided that Or. Durrer was TO have
charge of all inspections regarding
cleanliness and purity of the milk
supply, while DR.. Lloyd was to see
that the dairymen were placed in
position to comply with the require
ments Of the board OF health.
1t was agreed that the price should
not be precipitately lowered because
of the harmful effect such action
might have in driving some dairy
men out of business. At the same
time, it was agreed that the price Of
milk would soon be on the downward
trend along with other articles.

MENTAL SCIENTISTS WILL
START STUDY AGAIN

The mental science class has decid-
ed that it will begin ali over again.
This action was taken at the regular
meeting after the usual discussion.
The reason for the action is because
many of the class have not grasped
the meaning Of the lessons nor prac-
.ticed the exercises given in the study
course.
The first lesson will be taken up a.
gain next Sunday at six o'clock, and
everyone is urged to be present.
Some colonists have confused mem
tai science with Christian science when
there is absolutely no comparison. The
study of mental science is based upon
the education of the sub-conscious
mind SO that our thoughts may build
us into better colonists. 1t teaches that
power is within rather than without.
Much good is anticipated by those
who have determined to study the les
sons and practice the exercises.

THANKSGIVING DAY ENDS
WITH MASQUERADE DANCE

The Colony's Thanksgiving dance
was one Of the merriest and hilarious
affairs of the year.
After a Thanksgiving dinner Of more
than ordinary quality and quantity,
the evening dance came as a fine cap
per for a most delightful day.
Shortly after noon the dinner bell
rang and an assembly Of happy, jovial
folk gathered to do justice to Mrs. Oh
sens fine feast. Turkey was not on
the program, but the cooks had secur-
ed fine Colony-grown pig and roast
ed him to perfection and made dress
ing to tickle the palate and gravy to
appease the dressing and pickles and
tomatoes and sweet potatoes and Irish
mashed and pies and salads and
oranges an everything.
In the afternoon Comrade Fred Wa
tiers set fire to some rubbish, which
spread to grass fire, and a call for
help came when the bell rang and the
big whistle blew. A crowd Of fire
lighters were soon on the job and the
danger overcome. One of the houses
caught fire, but was soon extinguish-
led. The girls and boys have been
trained to fight grass fires, for they
did well with their wet sacks.
In the evening the lights were SWITCH
ed on to nicely cleaned and waxed
floor, and soon the masked dancers
began to arrive. All kinds and condi-
.hons of masquerades were evident.
and much ingenuity was shown in the
variety of the costumes. There were
nuns and gold dust twins in pairs, pa
per ladies, clowns, Indians. pretty
school girls. bakers, officers, and
ghosts, as we'll as the usual ladies who
were men and the men who were la
dies. A grand march was the signal
for unmasking. and much merriment
was the result.
The orchestra was especially enter
tanning land even poor dancers were
caught in the beautiful rythm Of the
music and swung around in graceful
style.
1t was voted that the affair was a
big success. and already th,s stakes are
down for a repetition on New Years
