pAN-PAc1rIc UNION PROPOSED

HONOLULU, T. H., June ga. P.)
A Pan-Pacific League of nations,
with Honolulu as the capital of the
league, as recently advocated by Pro-
fessor Walter B. Pitkin of Columbia
university, is a subject which has been
informally discussed between officials
OF the Pan-Pacific union, whose head
quarters are in Honolulu, and several
premiers of Pacific lands, according to
Alexander Hume Ford, secretary -di-
rector of the union.
Last year, said Secretary-Director
Ford, both Senator Henry c. Lodge
and Franklin X. Lane, then secretary
Of the interior, advocated a Pan-Pa-
cific league of nations.
1t has been suggested by some OF
the Pacific premiers who have passed
through Honolulu that the Pan-Pacific
union, of which all of them are Off
GERS, should take up the project of the
Pan-Pacific league and Mr.. Ford, who
recently left for the national capital
expects to confer on tentative plans
along this line with officials there.

the Sioux Nation ut that time. He was
76 years old at the time of his death

Indian uprising, when the Utes had
been rounded up and sent to the Chey-

them TO forget their grievance with

full lives.
| He was the last Indian, so fa" as is
known. to have continued to live with
two wives after the order prohibiting
polyEamy and further polygamous
marriages among the Indians was
made. Iron Tightening was called to
the Thunder Butte station when this
order was received and told he must
choose between the two women with
whom he was living.
If the commissioner has lived with
one woman" the chief replied in In
dian, "he will know how impossible 1t
is for Iron Tightening to separate
himself from two. Iron Tightening
laughs"
This speech won for him his case
and the two wives were retained. They
lived together in harmony, one doing

Romance in Origin
OF Supersdtions
BY H. I. KING.
Horse-Chestnuts.

When you carry horsc-chcstnut
in your pocket to cure or ward off
rheumatism it only shows that you
have not quite outgrown the tree
worship OF your ancestors. That
trees were the abode of supernatural
beings, if not gods themselves, was
belief common to all our European
progenitors, and the lingering rem
nants of it are frequently found i'll
modern superstitions. 1t existed in
such strength, even down to classi-
cal days, that ancient Jupiter of the
Roman capitol was nothing more
nor less than an oak tree
In those old days certain trees
were supposed to exert benihcent
influence upon certain diseases. Thus
the ash as a tree-god cured hernia
and its leaves were a specific against
the bite of serpents. In some parts
oi England today there is custom
of passing a child afflicted with con-
genital hernia through the growing
ash in expectation of a cure; and
there is New England superstition
that a snake will not crowl under all
ash tree.
The chestnut tree god apparently
specialized in rheumatism. for IT was
the true chestnut that was originally
carried as a rheumatic antidote and,
according to the American Fork-lore
society, that custom is still some
what general i'll the United States:
But in New England and the middle
vest the horse-chestnut is the thing;
probably because it is called chest
nut, looks like chestnut-esneclaliy
like the chestnut of southern Europe
and being larger than the true
chestnut (Castanea). ought to be a
more powerful appeal to the chest
nut tree god.
