sides on Second avenue, is to spend
the winter in Europe, doing research
work in history. Mr. Byrne is as
sistant professor of history at the
University of wisconsin.
During his absence in Europe Prof.
Byrns home in Madison will be oc-
cupied by the family of Harry S.
Manchester. The Daily Cardinal has
the following story on Prof. Byrne's
trip to Europe.
| had heard that one of our history
professors was going to Europe next
summer to take some pictures OF some
musty old manuscripts in dingy
place in Genoa, Italy. 'Just the sort
of thing" I thought, dingy cell only
to bring back some more reasons for
lecturing, and perhaps an excuse for
"a book.
And one day | met Prof. Eugene H.
Byrne on the street, and asked him
about it. His face lighted in min
ute, and when I told him my suspic-
ions, he burst out laughing. "You see
I'm the one that's going to take the
photographs he explained. 1t was a
body blow, but it stuck with until he
told me all about it.
We walked through the rain to his
home in Lakelawn place, and when ne
had seated me before a crate ire

into details, speaking in an animated
tone, and explaining things with en-

only door was in the northeast corner
of the room and was badly warped,

width. The girls had just got up the
ladder with the only candle when the
old door began to rattle. John and
I could seel a black object about a
foot long sticking through the crack
and swaying back and forth in a
frightful manner. We expected the
old wooden latch would break instant

Slate Found Nearby
A few rods above the old house on

slate pencils and ornaments.

100000 Children In
Schools of the United
States iii Nourished

NEW YORK, Nov. 13-(Associated
Press Mail)-The National Tubercu-
losis Association reported today that
more than 100000 school children
in the United States were suffering
from malnutrition.
To correct this, the association
o on will put into effect an unique
plan for instructing these children in
correct health habits. The plan has
been developed with the aid of DR..
w. r. P. Emerson of Boston, nutri-
ton expert.
Each child will be required through
his teacher and parents to submit a
card indicating daily performance of
II health chores. The cards read:
| was weighed this week on the
day checked (x.)
Besides a good breakfast and the
noon and evening meals. | ate mid
morning and afternoon lunches, as
directed.
l ate only wholesome food today,
including vegetables, fruit, and at
least a pint of milk, as directed; and
tried always to eat and drink slowly.
| drank four classes of water, some
before each meal and drank no tea,
coffee, nor any injurious drinks.
| vas in bed last night ten or more
hours, as directed, windows open
| rested lying down not less than
% minutes both this forenoon and
this afternoon.

ercising for the time and in the way
directed.
| washed my hands before each
meal today.
| brushed my teeth thoroughly af-
ter breakfast and after the evening
meal.
took a full bath on each of the
days of the week that is checked. (x)
BY doing these chores for five to
fifteen weeks, the child becomes a
squire, knight or knight baronet and
is entitled to wear the insignia of
the Modern Health Crusade. When
he gains normal weight, he may earn
advanced honors, by performing
standard Modern Health Crusade
chores and be admitted to the Health
Round Table through physical fitness
tests.

Paia and Puunene to
Furnish Football In
Waikiki Next Sunday

Football is not pau with the COM
ing and going of the Marines Sunday
will see the Puunene "Rainbows''
lock horns with the Paia "Maroons'
at Waikiki field while the Blues
rest and recuperate from the "hor-
rors de combat'they were subjected to
by the Marines squad on Sunday.
Now that the "leathernecked" eleven
has satisfied itself by taking Maui's
best squads into camp and returned
TO their home at Pearl Harbor, foot
ball (%speaking in terms of tigures)
should return to normally.
Coming back to the topic of Sun
days game rumors say that Paia in
tends to run up a worse score on
Puunene than the Marines did on the
Blues, and reports from the H. C.
& S'ville tribe are that 10 men of
their H. are from Missouri and

Two game bu. Judging from the ap-
pearance captain Coleman's men
made against the Honolulu aggrega-
ton Thanksgiving day they should be
able to play every week and still play
a good game against either Puunene
or the champions.
The following Sunday will bring
the "Maroons" into action with Wal
luku again and the East Maui boys
have sworn revenge against the
team hat nosed them out of the
championship by so small a score.
This game will be played at Lahaina,

that day the Blues and "Maroons''
will wind up the season for this fam
IL sport that has been so C
fully introduced on Maui.

hold but was unable to withstand the
terrific drives made upon it by the
Pearl Harbor squad. Morris, Yak Man,
Char, Baldwin and Murray time and
again threw themselves against the
moving wall presented by the Marines
and many times single handed broke
up plays in the shadow of the goal
posts which would otherwise probably
have amassed an even greater cor
for the Marines.

Ban on Missionaries
Cause of Arguments

SYDNEY, New South Wales, Nov.
2S-(Associated Press Mail)-Heated
protests have been voiced by church
organizations against a decision for
bidding missionaries to settle in a
reserved section in Central Australia
which has been set apart for abort
gines, while persons who have visited
the region contend, that the influence
of civilization if introduced would
mean the end of the aboriginal tribe,
we ought to let these aborigines
go on living in the Stone Age, just as
their ancestors did, and let them live
according to their own lights and
keep their beliefs and customs" said
Captain White, who returned recent
" from the area. "if missionaries or
any other white persons settle among
them, the natives will assuredly
perish, as have the natives in other
parts of the country"
Some of these aborginies had never
seen a white man until Captain
Whites visit, he said. Cannibalism
is. in certain cases, the normal and
accepted custom and the weird, wild
ceremonies and corroborees, which
have disappeared elsewhere or be-
conn atrophied and meaningless, are
retained, he stated.
The primitive savages manage to
live fairly well "in a hungry and a
thirsty land" he said. Once his
camel went without water for twenty
days, thus saving Captain Whites
life. There has been no appreciable
rain in the section for 9 years, he
said.
