 HAWAII

Honolulu. T. H., Dec. 7-Complete eEterm1nauon of the silversword one Of the rarest plants in existence. is threatened through depredations of tourists and ''souvenir hunters" who uproot and carry specimens away.
 The silversword plant which is found in quantities only in the great crater of Haleakala, on the Isla nd Of Maui, consists of a clump of point ed, sword-shaped leaves of the colCl and luster of dull or frosted silver, fro which at certain seasons of the year Towering stalk grows, attafnin g height of from two to three feet and bearing flowers of a deep red shade. The plant grows on the sides Of old volcanic cones, in soil consisting only of volcanic oinders and is found at lov-~r attitudes than 7,r~l feet, the mean elevation of the floor of Haleakala crater. The plant Is also found occasionally in the Him. layas and on the side of Mauna Kea, on the Island of Hawaii.
 Steps are now being taken by the National Park Service to put stop to the removal of the silversword from Haleakala, the crater being now part of Hawaii National Park, and in this way it is hoped to save the plant from eXterrninatiOn,

"One of the schemes operated by these crooks Is to obtain the number of the charge account of one of our wealthy customers. They select some
 sticles and give the saleseirl the
 number of this account, telling her to send the goods home. But after the
 transaction s concluded they change
 their mind and decide that they will carry the goods, which are wrapped
 up and given to them without sus-

 ''They obtain the numbers of these

 will pass the number of the account

SKULL FOUND TO RESEMBLE APE MAN

London. Dec. 7---Scientists say the Darwinian theory that Africa may have been the original home of the human race received partial corrob- oration from the discovery just made in northern Rhodesia of a fOssilized skull which gives a new orientation to the eatrly history of primitive man.
 The skull. which is complete save for the lower jaw. resembles that of the ape man (pithecanthropus erec- tus) discovered in Java in 1892, which has been regarded 9 S the most primitive human skull, known until now. The Java skull, however, lack ed a face. In this respect. the Rho- desian fossil reveals a type curiously similar to what is known as the Gibraltar skull.
 Moreover, a collar bone. leg bone and part of a hip hone believed to be- long to the skull have also been un- earthed, and these may enable ana ton'sts to reconstruct the main parts of the whole Rhodesian skeleton. The scene of the discovery was the "Rcna Cave of the Broken Hill mine, already famous for the beauty of its sta1aotites and sta7agmites and for the remarkable fact that the line of which they were oriEinally com posed have bean lar-e'y relaced by phosphates of zinc and lead It was the comm ercial value of these 1 form ations that led to the transfor- 4trangest mines ever worked.

New York Dec. 7-Shoplifters are already making the rounds of the big departm lent stores here in order to get the lay of the land' in prepara- cion for the annual harvest req aped by the Hght-fingered gentry during the shopping rush of the holiday season.
 Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of articles are lost annually in this city to shopIfters of both sexes, despite the fact both men and women detectives keep a keen lookout to pre- vent the depTe ia(iOns of these crooks. Ingenious method of the best pri- vate detective agencies in the c-ty which were called in 60 aid in appCe- hending shoplifters have failed to ma ceria1ly reduce the huge amount of loot that annually disappears from the O'g stores. For each trap set to en- VI ash them the wits of these clever thieves contrive a way to circunlvert ~he sIeUths.

 '@They are 8 wise bunch, and they put 1t over on us no matter how hard we watch them" explained the store- detective in one prominent establish rrent.
