BRIGADE PUTS
OUT THREATENING FIRE

Serious consequences threatened by
a fire which was started in Kahului
last Saturday morning and a contrast
given between what can be done when
water is ~obtainable by comparison of
the results of the fire about three
weeks ago when the water was turn
ed off.
Some Japanese were burning rub
bish back of the store of Maui Dry
Goods and Grocery store in Kahului
and the blaze extended to some dry
cocoanut fronds lying on the ground
and from them to a shack. The blaze
was too far from a hydrant to be
reached by a hose but a bucket
brigade was quickly formed and the
fire speedily extinguished before any
serious damage was done.

of a reporter. The story affords a
consistent view of the working Of a
newspaper office, the title "Deadline

which copy must be on the desk of

follows the adventures of a young So

1.-THE Street Called Straight
THE Street Called Straight is
taken from the book of the same
name by Basil King. 1t is generally
conceded to be the best work OF an
author who abs produced an unbroken'
line of successes. Revisiting the
scenes of his birthplace, Peter Dave
nant, a self-made millionaire, is in
vited to dinner. at the house of an old
friend, Henry Guion. Davenant meets
once again Olivia Guion, with whom
he had once been in love. He learns
that she is to marry Col. Rupert Ash

Ashley arrives in America to marry
Olivia. Though he knows that the
financial scandal in connection with
his brides family will injure his
chance of advancement in the British
service, he stands by olivia and offers
to make good the money that Daven-

family. Olivia refuses to accept the
aid because of the sacrifice it would
involve on the part of Ashley. Unable
to accept her iance's offer and I'M

Tn a t
Faith Healer"

An unusual theme was selected by
William Vaughan Moody when he
wrote the story of THE Faith Healer
in that the plot is laid along distinct
ly religious lines. Following the death
of the author. Mrs. Moody, in coopera-
ton with z. Wall Convington, prepar-
ed the scenario which has been screen
ed by George Melford, producer of
THE Sea WOLF, Every Woman" and
Behold My Wife"
The story deals with a young shep-
herd of the southwest who leaves his
" part of the country and goes
forth to heal the sick. At the hour of
his greatest triumph he falls in love
with a girl. At the same time his
spiritual powers begin to wane Fol
lowing a series of dramatic incidents
he realizes that God does not deny
spiritual love to mankind and instant
ly his power to heal is restored.
"GiIded Lily"
No matter how brilliant it may be
painted, a lily still remains a lily.
That, in a few words, is the theme of
"The Gilded Lily, starring Mae Muir
ray. The Genes of the picture are
laid in New York with the gay night
life reflected from an even more in
innate angle thar in Miss Murray's
previous success, "On With the
Dance" Miss Murray plays the part
of Lillian Drake, hostess of the Cafe
Royal, a rich private club. In spite
of the life of pleasure which she leads
her heart is hungry for love and a
quiet home away from the lights of
the city. She is wooed by n of the
denizens of the "Great White Way"
and by a country boy whose eyes are
dazzled by his first view of New
York's night life. One loves the gilt
and tinsel of the dancing girl; the
other loves the real woman and the
conflict between them is of absorbing
power and b%rilliancy.
Tom Mix
AS a rather slow-witted c~owpuncher
on whose ranch oil is Unexpectedly
found, Tom Mix in "a Rough Riding
Romance" carries the story across in
typical Mix style. The action is rapid
and entertaining and although the
action verges on melodramatic
comedy at times, it is fresh and anus
ing. The story deals with his at
tempts to rescue a princess of a my
thical kingdom, who is in control of
some courtiers who are conspiring to
marry her to the wrong man in order
to fulfill their own political ambitions.
Mix's efforts in behalf of the princess
lead him into several thrilling situa-
tions, including the lassoing of a
speeding railroad train and later a
climb on horseback up a fire escape.

HEALING THE SCARS OF WAR.

Nature is making such rapid progress
in healing the scars of war in France
that, outside of towns where ruins are
still standing, it will soon be impos-
sible to discover the famous front line
Of four years of war without close ex-
animation.
1t has become evident that the aban-
doned project of maintaining intact
as it existed at the close of histilities
the line from Newport, in Belgium
to Belfort, as a lesson to future gener-
ations, could not have been carried
out excepting at enormous expense.
Forests that were supposed to have
been annihilated have shown remark
able recovery. Positions that were up
heaved repeatedly util the subsoil
covered the surface almost completely,
giving every appearance of hopeless
aridity, have been slowly covered by
vegetation.
Even the famous height along which
runs the Chemin des Danes (the La
dies Way, is covered with thick her
bage, that remains green in spite of
the drouth. In order to preserve certain
famous war scenes, such as the bayo-
net trench at Verdun, it was neces-
sary To erect a shelter and protect the
trench from the slow but sure work
OF nature in order to preserve it as it
was. during the great battle.

COURSE FOR MATRIMONY

The Chicago judge who urges that
boys and girls be trained in the high
school for successful married life"
domestic relations, with all it's dis
heartening, disillusioning disclosures.
He doubtless could lay out course
of study that would prevent many a
foolish marriage and guard against
many an unfortunate ending to what
should be happy marriages.
But if you were outlining course
of study for young people to pursue
for a successful married life,' what
would you stress as the most impor-
tant? Should girls be taught to choose
the right kind of men," and should
boys be taught to choose the fright
kind of women?" And what would
your definition be Of the right kind"
and how would you teach boy or
girl to select the right kind?"
Some parents stress the money value
of men. Some girls are out on a
hunt for husbands tht can pay their
bills. Must money be an important
consideration for successful married
Iife?"
1t lis a genuinely big question-too
sensible a question for the average
person to discuss without turning it,
into a so-called joke, even though the
tragedies of marriages of today are all
about us, showing pit:ful, spoiled lives
of people who are capable of appre-
ciating the best of life.
But is that Chicago judge on the
right track?. Can young people be
taught to know and to seek congeni-
ality, absolute trust and unselfish love
by a formal course of study?-Miami

SHADE TREES FOR THE HIGH
wAN

The growing sentiment for beautify-
Ing the improved highways of the
country by planting of shade trees,
shrubbery and hedges along both sides
of the roadway is in some instances
crystallizing into action.
The State Highway Department of
Pennsylvania has begun planting a
large number Of American elms and
sugar naples along the state high
way between Gettysburg and Harris
burg. The work is being done under
the direction of the State Forestry
Department.
State Highway Commissioners Sadler
says it is the aim of the department
eventually to beautify all the main
highway routes in Pennsylvania
through the intelligent planting of
shade trees. A plan has been worked
out with the aid of the forestry de-
partment whereby /. comprehensive
system Of planting trees along state
highways will be taken up. The high
way commissioner having designated
the highway to be planted, the COM
missioner of forestry will inspect the
highway, recommend the species to be
planted and will give in detail the
planting operations, such as distance.
care Of stock, size and depth of holes,
setting of the trees, fertilizers, stalk
ing trees, planting crew, necessary
tools, approximate time required and
other details. State foresters will di-
rect the operations and inspect the
trees from time to time.
In order to make a success of work
such as this-it is necessary, according
to Pennsylvania officials to obtain the
hearty cooperation of the adjacent
land owners and securing their per-
mission to remove undesirable trees
along the highways if these are four
inches or more lin diameter at two
feet above the ground. 1t is also
necessary to obtain the cooperation of
companies operating overhead service
lines.

in the state. Those owning their en-
tire farms numbered 32,507, while part
owners numbered 1892. In 1910 there
were 1892 tenants in the state.
Five per cent of the land in Florida
is under cultivation. The other nine
ty-five per cent is either lying idle
or undeveloped.
There is nothing remarkable about
the agricultural expansion in Florida
for the past ten years, although it
has been substantial; but the next
ten years will tell an entirely differ
ent tale. More than ever before in it's
history the agricultural possibilities of
the state are being realized and taken
advantage of; the program of devel-
opment is being extended and the
general outlook is exceedingly bright
No practical reason can be advanced

FAMINE IN RUSSIA.

Famine, resulting from crop failure
is far more feared by the communist
dictators of Russia than any develop
ment of capitalism that might come
from recent concessions toward free
trade. according to Speeches by Lenine
and other communist leaders, editorials
in the bolshevik official newspapers
and other information from Moscow
reaching the Baltic states.
Lenlne, writing for the Baku Com
munist, as reported by the official
bolshevik telegraph agency, Rosta, a
few days ago, said There is nothing
TO fear in the rist of small farming
and small industry. 1t cannot be dam
gerous to our big industry. Something
else is to be feared. In case of bad
harvest, there can be no diminishing
in the crisis of the working classes.
mot the growth of petty bourgeoisie
and capital is dangerous, but the state
of need and lack of foodstuffs that is
continuing too long. That Isl why the
proletariat becomes weak and cannot
stand against the elements of petty
bourgeoisie."
In this as in other articles widely dis
tributed throughout Russia in support
of the new economic, policy, Lenine
points out that by holding firmly to the
reins of big industry the dictatorship
OF the proletariat cannot always con-
troll any situation that might develop
with regard to smaller capitalistic adj
vancement.
In a speech before the All-Russian
Supply Conference, recently held at
Moscow, Lenine, as reported in the Of
fetal newspaper Pravda and Izvestia,
was extremely pessimistic about the
famine possibilities.
There has come to pass" he is re-
ported as saying, IAN unforeseen cir
cumstance, which now, in the second
year, subjects the country to extreme
hardships. Whether we are in for a
series of arid years, as has been
prophesied these two years. we do not
know. But it has become perfectly
which we will again, over large areas,
experience a failure of crops, and this
pictures in our minds the imminency
of great danger.
i will not now dwell on the extent
of the area affected by this calamity,
but the area is certainly very great. 1t
Is already quite clear that there will
be large arrears in the payment of tax
in kind in many districts; that in
many districts the population, apart
from this, will be doomed to unheard
of sufferings. and that the supply or
ganization& instead of obtaining in
those districts a surplus of products
for the maintenance Of the army, the
labor classes and the industry, will
have to support the starving popula-
ton
Further, Lenine pointed out that the
hardships entailed by the crop failures
win be aggravated by the fact that in

REVELATIONS
OF A WIFE
How Dieky Welcomed Mrs. purkee,s
sY ADELE GARRISON.

How Dicky Welcomed Mrs. Durkee's
Explanation.
The tabled head of Medusa could
not have had a much more paralyz-
ing effect upon the members of our
little dinner party at Broquin's than
did the entrance of the girl who woce
had just been talking, and which he
had said he had bought for me.
AT sight of the hat, the girl who
wore it and especially of the faces of
the two girls who accompanied her,
Edith and Leila Fairfax, my faith in
Dicky which I had just trembIingly
regained after the startling events OF
the afternoon, fled, and I sank back
into my chair, torn with jealous mis-
cry.
The story Dicky had just told, must
be an intricately threaded tissue of
falsehood and truth cunningly devised
to keep me from guessing the real
meaning of the scene / had witnessed
in the after noon at HambePs when
/ had seen him buying the forty dollar
blue hat l had previously coveted, and
an expensive suit for Edith Fairfax.
What a fool I had been to believe
his tale, evidently made up In a mo-
ment when he found out I had been
at Hambels, that Miss Fairfax was
going to pose for his Illustrations Of
novel and that the clothing ne had
bought, she was to wear for the draw
ings.
But why had he told so foolish a
tale? And why. IL he had bought the
hat for Edith Fairfax, was it gracing
the head of this other girl? The utter
sordidness of the whole episode re-
VOTED me, but mystified me as well
When 1 finally glanced toward Dicky
what was my amazement to find thai
his face held not the look of guilty
chagrin which I expected, but one of
angry mystification instead.
