OLD TESTAMENT PAGEANT
 IN MASSACHUSETTS, HILLS

Heath, Mass. June 1.-The hills of this little western Massachusetts town said to be almost an exact counterpart of those which encircle the ancient vll- lage of Bethlehem in Palestine, have been selected as the setting for a pa geant of Old Testa tment times, which is to be staged this summer to raise funds for the starving children of for eign lands.
 The play will be the drama of Da- vid and the actors for the most part will be the country folk of the neigh boring farming communities, many of whom have strong dramatic instinct. Miss Flora White of this town is direct ing the production.
 The drama portraying some of the tragic events which had their origin in the mental disorder of King Saul is to be enacted in the outskirts of the deep wood bordering an open pasture The scene Is just outside the gates or Bthlehem near which Saul had pitched his tent and ncamped hi sarmy. The walls of Bethlehem and the pavilion of Saul are to be located on the eX- treme right of the natural amphithe- atre which form the stage. On the ex- treme left is the wilder country of the Phillstnes and the cave of Adullam to which David retreats when pur- sued by Saul.
 In the center of the amphitheatre is a lonesome pine which forms the rendezvous for Saul and Samuel when the prophet threatens him with the loss of his kingdom and again for David and Jonathan when the former is ban ished from Sauft Kingdom. Ii also represents the spot toward which the soIdiery and the town folk drift for gossip and to which Jonathan goes to practice his favorite pastime-archery. Here too David meets Michal the daughter of Saul before entering upon his outlawry and makes the solemn VOW. As the Lord liveth and my soul lfveth l will claim thee again
 How faithfully the vow was kept through the long years of punishment and pursuit and hard fighting is made clear when David is crowned king of Judah. for his first words as monarch were to the premier Abner, refusing to make league with him until he had brought him Michal who was given David to wed-Four States Press

DANCE IN NUDE AS PROTEST. Doukhobors, Barred Prem U. S. Stage Demonstrations in Vancouver

Vancouver, B. C., Dec. 2.-Three men from the Doukhobor, or Russian nonconformist settlement, near Nell son, British Columbia, discarded all their clothing in a waiting room at the Canadian Pacific railway station here yesterday and paced off a pro- testing war dance when they were refused admittance to the United States. They were later arrested by Vancouver police for disorderly con- duet.
 The United States immigration commissioner, Zurbrick, had ques- tioned them as to their fitness to pro- ceed on their journey to the state of Washington as prospective settlers He found their views coincided with t'le accepted definition of philosophi- cal anarchy and declined them the hospitality of his government.
 They are said to have threatened an undress parade in Vancouver by a large number of their fellow Douk- hobors in protest against their arrest.

CLOSE TExARKANA
 SCHOOLS DECEMBER 31
Arkansas Side District Unable to Raise Operating Expenses, It
 Is Said.

Texarkana. Dec. 2.-Because the city lacks funds with which to con- tinue operating them the Texarkana public schols, Arkansas side, will be closed December 31, according to a vote taken by the Board of Education.
 The resolution adopted by the school board recites that local banks have discounted so many public school warrants that they refuse to advance further funds for school purposes in advance of the city's tax income.
 Five schools, 50 teachers and about 1,200 pupils are affected by the school closing order.
 A prolonged campaign last October to get property owners voluntarily to pledge themselves for higher tax as- easements for school urposes failed by half the amount needed.

HAWAII FEARS BIG
 INFLUX OF LAPS
Labor Shortage in Islands Paves Way for Japan to Flood Uncle Sam's Rich Pacific Possessions With COolies
 -114,00O Japs There Now.
By Harold H. YOst. International News Service Stan CnrraSnnndant


 Honolulu, Dec. 3.-Can Japan under the little-known but much dis cussed terms of the almost mythical "gentleman's agreement with the United States, flood the Hawaiian Islands with coolie laborers now that an avowed labor shortage exists in Hawaii?
 The answer, according to authentic ally-reported statements of those high in diplomatic and state councils at Washington, is-yes.
 Will Japan take advantage of the situation to thus strengthen her al- ready strong foothold in Hawaii?
 Consul General Yada, Japan's of flcial representative in Hawaii, says no, and says it emphatically. And Mir. Yada is man who, from long train ing in the Japanese diplomatic service, when speaking on delicate interna- tional subjects.
 Yada Gives Reasons.
 The delicacy of the present situa- tion and the desire of his government to avoid complicating things by any act liable to misconstruction by our own or other Governments, are given by Consul General Yada as the req sons for his emphatic negative.
 Despite these assurances, which, in their final analysis, are totally unof- ficial, it is generally concided that the gravity of the situation in the terri tory can scarcelly be overestimated. With ll4,000 Japanese in total pop ulation of less than 100000. with a cb nE l.I waiian sugar plantations affording Japan not only welcome outlet for some of her surplus population, but affording her an equally welcome op- portunity to tighten her grasp on a group of islands the possession of which she has long coveted, talk of disarmament without something more definite than "gentlemen's agree ments" as guarantee against further Japanese immigration, is looked upon with open disfavor by all interests in Hawaii.
 Would. Bar Jap Laborer.
 At present the sentiment in Hawaii. the entire Territory, favors strongly the importation of outside labor of any race whatsoever, other than Jap
 
 creasing control of the islands com merce and industries by the sons of Nippon. White laborers would be pre- ferred by island people, but repeated tests have proven them unfit for tropical field labor Porto Ricans and Philipinos are being tried but neither can be obtained in sufficiently large numbers. Chinese laborers are by many considered the ones most availa- ble and best suited for the work, but there the Chinese exclusion law inter venes at present.
 Unless a solution some solution is hit upon in the very near future it is generally conceded by those closely in touch with affairs, both To- cal and international, that not only will Hawaii face an industrial calam- ity, an event of trifling importance to the world, but the United States will face the loss at an early date of one of it's richest territories and it's strongest Pacific military and nagal outpost; that or an open break with Japan.
