Marquesas Islands
Nearly Decinated

Honolulu, T. H., Nov. 14-(By
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. decreases in the
native population of the Maruuesas
ISLANDS, two-thousand miles south by
east of the Hawaiian archipelago,
have resulted from the ravages of
disease and the adoption of many
modern customs recently, according
to DR.. G. S. Handy, ethnologist of the
Bishop Museum here, who spent nine
months on the islands gathering data
on the origin of the Poiynesian race,
habits and customs of the natives,
and their ethnology and anthro-
pology.
Fifty years ago the Marquesas
Islanders probably numbered be-
tween $4,000 and 100000" DIR. Handy
said. To-day there are only about
1,SOO natives. with a scattering Of
Europeans. Smallpox decimated the
population in the northern portion of
the group, and pokoko. a particularly
swift and virulent form of tubercu-
losis. played havoc in the SOUTH"
He expressed the belief, however,
that the Marquesans would never
disappear but that the "fittest and
strongest small remainder. will be
able to resist disease. Sometimes
whole families had been taken off
with pokoko within a brief period, he
said.

A PASSBOoK AS A CHRISTMAS
GIFT

The savings banks throughout the
country are endeavoring to increase
their lists Of depositors. Now. while
one might suppose they would desist
during the holiday period when dol
lars are being raked and scraped with
which to buy Christmas gifts, 1t is
interesting to ind them turning the
occasion to the advantage Of the
cause.
They propose that bank passbooks
be given as presents instead of so
many things which person does not
need. They notice in later years a
disposition to give something of in
trinsic value in place of wholly friv-
olous or transitory gifts. In this way
a comparatively small bank deposit
would be appreciated and would be
the solution Of that frequently an
noying problem Of what kind Of a
present to make.

RAH, FOR coNY HIGH!

That two members of the senior

two principals for appointment next

Is cause for congratulation to all par

other. Richard Burr, ranked next. It
did not require vivid imagination to
detect note of exultation in the
voice Of Principal Quimby when an

1t is good to have these conspicu-
Gus opportunities for giving consid

they are doing. There are plenty of
opportunities for doing this but the
usual ones. more's the pity. do not
seem to impress us. We take it for
granted that our children are re-
ceiv;ng their due in the school room
unless the children complain. and If
they do we very likely form con-
customs which might not be support
ed by the facts because we are too
well, busy, though that isn't the word
to properly investigate actual con-
ditions. Perhaps this recognition Of
merit will serve to stimulate interest
in the ordinary school affairs. In

|DETROIT-WINDSOR
BRIDGE TO HAVE
LONGEST SPAN

Detroit, Mich, Dec. d-TidnS ioi
the new international suspension
bridge to connect Detroit and Wind
sor, Just announced, show that 1t
will have the longest single span In
the world, measuring 1,S02 feet. or
a inches longer than the great can
tilever at Quebec. OF double-deck
construction the new link between
Canada and the United States Will
accommodate street car, automobile
and pedestrian traffic on the upper
deck and passenger and freight
train service on the lower deck.
Barring unforeseen delays, actual
construction work will commence
next spring, and within four years
the upper deck should be ready for
service. Without interfering with
traffic on the highway deck 1t is
planned then to begin construction
of the lower deck, which should be
finished in two years more.
The bridge and it's approaches will
have a total weight of 1O7, 900 tons,
with eight cables carrying the huge
span. Six of these cables will be II
inches in diameter and two will be
IS inches thick; together they will
support a pull of 14G,000,C00 pounds.
Suspended from two towers each
rising $50 feet above the water, the
span will have a width of 81 feet for
the highway deck with two trolley
tracks, two sidewalks and two road
ways, while the lower deck will have
four railway tracks and q 20-foot
space for the public utilities equip
ment. Electric locomotives would be
used for traffic across the lower deck.
Completion of the bridge will
mean the end of the train ferries,
which for years have carried freight
and passenger trains across the De-
trolt river, even after the opening of
the Michigan Central tunnel
The bridge, which viii be built by
the Canadian Transit Company and
the American Transit Company, with
the approval of the Canadian and
United States Governments, will
span the river almost from the CEN
ter to the shore line of the two cities.
Construction is expected to begin
from the American side.
The promoting companies have
been authorized to issue $50. 900. 900
in securities for the project. 1t is
estimated that completion of the
highway or upper deck will cost ap-
proXimateiy $15,O0G,000. Purchase
OF shore space for the approaches is
under way.
Plans for the bridge were drawn
chiefly by Charles f. Fowler, of New
York. Associated with him in the
erection of the structure will be
