Honolulu Newsboy In Glass By Himself
By Associated Press

Honolulu, T. H. August 20.-The newsboy of Honolulu stands alone. in his class. That he sells newspapers is the only characteristic he has ill common with his brother of the con tinent United States.
 He may be American, English, Scotch, Irish, Hawaiian. Spanish, Portuguese. Filipino, Chinese Japa- nese or Korean, or combination of any two, three or even four.of these nadonalities. but no matter what his blood, his method never varies
 If he knows the news contained in the paper he sells, he never tells it. No raucous shouts of Triple mur- der in St. Louis," Big flood in Col orado," Prince assasslnated," or the like ever are heard on Honolulu's streets. The newsboy here has pa per to sell and he sells it; you take your own chance on the news if contains.
 Barefoot, clad in a hat or cap d shirt and a pair of trousers. he haunts the street cars and he tours the corners. No one boy has any one stand. He may offer you paper on downtown street intersection n and half an hour later try to sell you another at Waikiki beach. a couple Of miles from the business district.
 He is persistent to the verge of being a public nuisance, but he al most invariably smiles-and he cer- tainly sells his papers.

 England Protesting
By Associated Press

London, August 20.-A letter pro- testing against the proposed Amer ican import tax upon motion picture films as "prohibitive and detrimental to the international exchange of ideas of. life" appeared in recent issue of the London Times signed by 16 British film producers who ap- pended their signatures to the letter as members of the British Producers Committee of the Incorporated Asso- citation of Kinematograph manufac- turers.
 The letter declared that if British manufacturers are to be entirely de- barred from introducing scenes of English life to the people of Amer ica there can be no option but to prevent the practically free importa- tion of American films into this country"
 The letter notes that the 30 per cent ad valorem duty is based upon the cost of production of similar work in the United States. asserting at the same time that the cost of the production is admittedly about five times as heavy there as in England. The writers say that about S5 per cent of the films shown on British screens are of American origin.

PRESS CONGRESS
 ID SEE MANY OLD
 SIGHTS IN HAWAII
By Associated Press

Hilo, Island of Hawaii, T. H., August 20.--Delegates io the Press Congress of the World, which will meet in Honolulu next October, and will visit this island at the conclu- sion of their business sessions, will be shown the spot where 40 years ago. flow of lava from Mauna loa volcano, which threatened to destroy this city, was stopped in it's path as princess of the royal line faced the oncoming river of fire and prayed that Hilo might be spared.
 Mot only will the visitors see the spot where the 10-months flow of lava finally stopped as Princess Ruth faced the molten river alone, but they will hear from the lips of men who saw the incident the story of Hilo's escape.
 For more than 300 days, according to eye witnesses, the lava had been pouring steadily from the side of the mountain, when suddenly the stream of fire changed it's course and bore down on the city of Hilo. The ef- forts of the white men failed to stop the approach of disaster, so Hawai- ians took the matter into their own hands.
 Royal Hawaiian blood was said to bear weight with Pele, goddess of the volcano, so Princess Ruth at Hono- lulu was appealed to. She answered the call and as she gazed towards the mountains with her coterie of fol- lowers behind her. she could see the track of destruction extending up ward. mile after mile, while at it's forefront, almost on the edge of tn. city, trees were burning and great columns of smoke were ascending.
 platform had been built in the path of the flow and, as Princess Ruth mounted it's steps, sacrifices of pigs and chickens were offered the angry goddess of the valcano. The princess. on her knees, appealed to pele to spare lHilo. And the flow stopped
 Plainly visible against the foot of this hill today is to be seen the face of the lava flood, as it piled up and hardened in 1881 when the Princess Ruth came to the rescue of her people.
