That Americas will be well repre-

Day Stewart, of the Western Brigade.
These are Miss Ximenia Bond, the
daughter of DR.. B. F. Bond and Mrs

SCHOOL. MOURNS
JANITOR JACK
Old Jack Clark, Faithful High
School Servant, Is
Dead

Students. faculty and former stu.
dents of the Americas High school
are in mourning. For Jack Clark is
dead.
Jack was the faithful old negro
janitor, who had been in charge of
the high school building ever since
its erection. His family says he had
been in the service of the school fol
eleven years. Other citizens who
knew him well said his connection
with the school covered period of
20 to 25 years.
Whatever his length of service, he
was a widely loved old darby, of the
type fast disappearing. Always po-
lite and accommodating, he knew
every teacher and every pupil by
name, and his only ambition was
perfect service. That he succeeded
well those who came in daily contact
with him can testify.
Jack never missed a day from
school, so when he did net appear OF
the job Wednesday morning, it wat
occasion for remark and speculation
Then came the word that he was
sick at his home at 1872 Academy
street. At 4 80 o'clock this morning
he died. And when the high school
students learned of it they quickly
and with one accord arranged to buy
a big wreath of flowers to lay on his
ciffin at the funeral Sunday.
The funeral will be held from Big
Bethel negro church at l O'Clock, Of
which church he was deacon.
Jack Clark had lived in Americas
for As years. He was 70 years odl
or more. He leaves a wife, two sons,
two daughters, IA grand children ana
great grand children.

ORIGIN OF HkWAIlANS.
Question Is One Which Still Battles All
Scientists.

Whence came the ancient Hawaiians
and others of the Polynesian race, Is
query which baffled the members Of the
Pacific scientific congress when 1t was
in session here last August and which
is answered in part by Louis R. Sulli-
van, of the American museum Of natu-
raj history, New York. who has been
conducting Investigations here since
the close of the congress relates Hon
olulu dispatch.
Bodily, facial and cranial character
istics of the Polynesian, according to
Mr.. Sullivan's tables. show that he is
eleven parts Mongoloid, five parts Eu-
ropean, five parts Mongoloid- European,
and two parts Mongoloid- -Melanesian.
The seemingly unavoidable conclusion
is that the Hawaiian and his Polyne-
sian brothers originally came from
Asia.
The ancient Hawaiians were a race
of regal proportions the most COM
manding physically, Mr.. Sullivan be-
lieves the world has ever seen
There never has been any >aoubt
that the Hawaiian, Samoan, Tahitian,
Tongan and Maori are closely akin
Their legends, speech. customs and
build all testify to the relationship,
but hitherto their origin has been lost
in the mists Of the ages.
In order to reach o solution OF this
riddle, and before he felt he had es-
tablished the mongoloid- European
Melanesian theory, Mr.. Sullivan meas
ured the heads and bodies and noted
the characteristics Of 1000 natives OF
the Hawaiian Islands. This relation
ship makes the Hawaiian q cousin OF
the Chinese. Japanese and other Asia
tic races, including the Malays, as
we'll as a connection Of the. American
Indian and Eskimo. He also draws
some Of his blood from the continent
Of Europe and very little from the
original stock Of the Australian abori-
gine.
Through the agency OF the Bishop
Museum of Honolulu, which houses
one of the most complete, if not the
most complete ethologicoi collections
in existence the interesting search
is continuing. Hawaii and Samoa al
ready have been surveyed and farther
south scientific expeditions are pur-
suing the trail. When this data is as
complete as it can be made, it will be
tabulated and analyzed and the re-
suits published within year or so.
Meanwhile, the Polynesian is dying
fast: his race is passing out 1T high
speed and the investigations are be-
ing pushed with as little delay rs pos

therefore SO very stupid. The man,
too, is very stupid. He thinks that I,
Camilla, would help him desert this
child, who is to- have q baby"
A Dramatic Rescue.
Yet another member of the league
saw her chance to rush to the rescue
of her sex when shes came across a
young girl in the midst of heated
argument with a man in a corner of
subway station. Without the slight
est compunction, she listened to the
conversation and heard enough to
convince her that the girl was in SER
ious danger; So, approaching the
couple boldly, she asked the girl if she
could speak to her a minute. 80
Listen" she said, in some embar-
rassment,|4as she had mover rescued
anybody before, I wouldn't go with
s.irn, If was YOU. You can't trust
these New York guys. If you amt got
any place to go. you can come to our
club. It's all right. You can look 1t
up in the telephone book"
i .t"But how. will ] get rid of him?
asked the girl nervously.3
"Oh, just leave that to me-" said
the G. ST.. member. "Say," she ex-
claimed, walking up to the waiting
man, " beat it. This girls a friend of
mine and I'll tell her father if you
don't beat it-quick."
AT the club, the rescued damsel,
whose name was Grace told the direc-
tor that she was eighteen years old;
that she had met the man for the first
time that evening; that he had taken
her to a chop suey restaurant, and
then had asked her to go to dance
hall with him. But when they reach
ed the door of the so-called dance
hall, Grace had sense enough to per-
ceive that it was a hotel. So she had
turned and fled to the subway station,
where the man had followed and
argued with her. -. =
Grace, it seemed, was Philadelphia
girl, who had become rebellious of
parental discipline and had packed her
suitcase and left home few days be-
fore, after her family had retired for
the night. She arrived in New York
at 3.45 in the morning, and, calling a
taxicab, asked the driver to take her
to hotel. At a moving picture thea
ter the.:following day she met another
girl named Anna, who took her to
! dancing studio. " Here Grace had
danced with several strange men, and
had been instructed .by Anna in the
art of picking UP men who would take
her to the theater. Grace had tried it
for the first time the night she was
found by the G. S. L. member. When
Grace's father came. for her, after she
had been at the club several days, the
director was surprised to learn that she
was not eighteen years old, as she had
claimed, but only fourteen.
Thus, from the foregoing, it may be
seen that women are not an indiffer-
ent to the welfare of their sex as ,is
commonly supposed. AS gallantry
declines among men, it apparently
rises among women. For the. ideals
of these girls are the ideals Of the
medieval knight-to succor weakness,
and especially the damsel in distress.

".Why, Of course you are" the coin

Indeed it was the tin soldier, who

conscience Of the boy was touched
Mr.. Bloggs had something to say.
It was late III February and every
one was complaining Of the cold. Ever
the oldest inhabitants Of Bingvi!le
could not recall SO severe winter.
Many families were short of fuel. The
homes of the working folk were In
Sufficiently heated. Money In the bank
had given them sense Of security.
They could not believe that its magic
power would fail to bring them what
they needed. So they had been care
less of their allowance Of wood and
coal. There were days ~hen they
had none and could get none at the

dollars in rhe bank went ont into the
country ut night and stole rails of
the farmers fences. The homes o.

Prices at the stores mounted higher.
Most of the gardens had been, lying
idle. The farmers had Found 1t hard
to get help. Some Of the latter, IN
deed had decided that they could
make more by teaming at Mlllerton
than by tolllng in the fields. and with
less effort. They left the boys and
the women TO do what they could with
the crops. Naturally the latter were
small. So the local sources of supply
had little to offer and the, demand up
on the stores steadily Increased. Ger
tain of the merchants had been, in n
way, spoiled by prosperity. They were
rather Indifferent to complaints ami
demands. Many of the storekecpers,
lrritated, doubtless, by ovprw0rk, had
lost their former pollteness. There
were days when supplies failed 10 mr.
