HAWAIIAN RACE
BEING REBORN
Infusion of Foreign Blood Rein
vigorates Inhabitants OF
the Island.
KOREANS REFUSE TO MIX
Analysis of 1859 Marriages in the
Islands Reveals Some Surprises
to Science-Japanese Not Most
Prolific Race on Island.

Honolulu, T. H.-The Hawaiian
general, has been regarded as dying
people, is being reborn and reinriS-
Grated by infusion of alien blood. ac-
cording to statistics just compiled b!
Louis II. Sullivan of the New York
Museum of Natural History now at
Honolulu.
Mr.. Sullivan has just completed
analysis of 1859 marriages in the
islands, selected at random, and his
findings in some cases have been sur
priSpS to science.
can men in the territory marry wom-
Ell of blood foreign to their own than
marry American or British women.
The japanese are not, rs has been
supposed, the most prolific race In the
islands, but are surpassed in this re-
gard by Portuguese, Porto Ricans,
part lIawaiians and Spanish. 81
American women, more than one in
every six living in the islands marry
UawaiianS, part -Hawaiians ana 9TH
ers of blood strange to their ancestry.
OF all the racial groups the Korean
women represent the only one when
refuses to mix blood, not single case
of Korean woman marrying a man
other than a Korean having been dis
covered
A New Racial Group.
As a whole, the tables indicate, the
part-lIawaiian group has tendency
to consolidate, rather than scatter,
since of CaucaSan-Hawaiian males
who marry, 32.7 per cent marry back
into the full-bIooded Hawaiian strain.
while only l3.S per cent take white
wives. and the remainder either In
breed among their own kind or marry
at large. or Aslatic-Hawaiian males,
l2G per cent marry back into the
Hawaiian strain, only l.3 into the
Asialir strain and Il negligible pro-
portion into the Caucasian strain.
The result, SO far as the Hawaiian
race is concerned, is said to be new
racial group, fecund to high degree,
still ahnolmally susceptible to civiliza-
tions diseases, but with much higher
resistant powers than the old lla-
waiian stock and visibly adding to its
numbers
While the women OF Korea lead all
other males and females of the islands
i'm marrying within their own race,
there are other groups which are
close second in this respect. Only Oh
of one per cent of Japanese women
contract out-marriageS, or unions with
men of other races, while or of one
per cent of japanese men so pick their
mates The percentage for the Chi
npse is per cent for the women and
H. per cent for the men; American,
l7.9 for the women and 51.7 for the
men; Portuguese, 32.3 women, 1870
men; Hawaiian, 40.5 women, 1913 men.
Pure Stock Dies Fast.
The pure Hawaiian death rate Is
the highest in the islands, 13.4S per
thousand annually, although the pure
Hawaiian birth rate is nearly twice as
high as American, British and other
whites.
Scientists recognize that suScepti-
bility to diseases of civilization is re-
Sponsible for the disappearance of the
pure Hawaiian race, but the figures
Just made public by Mr.. Sullivan are
the first to show that the intermar-
rage is rebuilding the old race into a
stronger, more hardy people.

MANS GUIDE TO FERTILITY
Black Soils Stand First and Are Fol-
lowed by Browns, Dark Grays
and YeIoWs.

Color has always been the practical
mans guide to soil fertility and the
scientific man finds it just as useful
after working out the reasons back
of it. In relative fertility black soils
stand first, followed in order by the
browns and dark grays, and these by
the yellows and light grays, the light
est of which are nearly white.

LAND AVAILABLE FOR
DRILLING FOR WATER

In reversing a ruling made by him
last October, the Secretary of the
Interior has held that lands, which are
unreserved, unappropriated. non-ini1,-
be susceptible of successful irrigation
from any known source Of water sup
ply at reasonable cost, they should be
designated as available for drilling for
subsurface waters under the provision
oil the Pittfnan reclamation act. The
October ruling denied an application of
Rose Mcmillan and Is others for per
mits to prospect for water under the
act in Ivanpah valley.
The earlier ruling was based upon
a report of the geological survey that
studies of ground-water conditions in
the central part of lvanpah valley,
where the land is located, including
data obtained by actual well--drilling
explorations. showed that, owing to
the depth to water. pumping for irri-
cation purposes was considered i'm
practicable and furthermore. that the
quantity OF water obainable was in
sufficient for ordinary irrigation pur-
poses, adding that it was his opinion
the region embracing the lands had
already been explored sufficiently to
demonstrate with a reasonable degree
of certainty that ground--water for
irrigation purposes could not be de-
veloped, at reasonable cost, a.ld that
therefore segregation would be use
less"
The case was appealed and on Jan
uary IL the ruling was called to the
attention di Senator Key Pittman and
he filed a brief with the secretary of
the interior protesting against the de-
cision on the gounds that it was con-
trary to the spirit of the act and
threatening in its effect the fullest de-
velopment under the act
Il respectfully call attention to the
fact" he stated i'll his argument, that
the act specifically describes the char
acter of land that is subject to the
permit If the director of the geo.
logical survey had reported that water
was known to exist under the surface
of he land and in quantities and under.
conditions that it was known that il
would produce at a profit agricultural

CURED under Section of the act.
