English dealers in antiques overran
the Baltic states after they first freed
themselves Of the Bolshevik regime
and picked up much Of the valuable

now offer fewer rare pieces than the,

Besides the war loot. the shops carry
an amazing lot Of second hand wares

convert them into money. Luxuries
went first but now furs fur coats and
all sorts of wearing apparel are being

monthly review. The price decline

The decline was reported most
marked in agricultural products, tex

products, while coal. petroleum. gaso-
line, paper, brick and cement remained
largely unaffected. some reductions

Hawaii and Haleakala
Arouse Much Interest

Haleakala, in connection with 9TH
Nei, is coming in for some very at
tractive publicity from Gilbert H.
Grosvenor, president Of the National
Geographic Society, in the course of
his lectures as is shown by clippings
received by Worth o. Aiken, one
from the Toronto, Canada, Star Week.
ly and another from the Washington,
d. G. Evening Star.
In the Toronto Star about two
columns of the front page was given
over to Mr. Grosvenor and to expert
ences of his and of Mrs. Grosvenor,
who climbed Mauna Loa with her
husbands while in the Islands. His
lecture was illustrated by colored
Photographic slides, stereopticon
views and moving pictures. He told
of Kilauea and Mauna Loa on Hawaii
and Haleakala, and the ditch trail and
some of the out of the way trips he
took on Maui, described the varied
races and their mingling, the re-
sources of the Islands and their in
dustry, especially sugar and pine can
ming, particularly impressing his
audience when he told of one cannery
turning out 100000 cans in a single
day.
The Washington Star quotes his
remarks of the crater of Haleakala be-
ing large enough to contain the whole
of the Island of Manhattan, old New
York City proper, and of leaves Of
plants as large as man.
The absence of bill-boards in the
Islands won especial praise from him.
In recent letter from Mr.. Gros-
venor, Mr.. Aiken says no additional
information as to the date of the Ha-
waii edition of the Modern Geograp-
hic Magazine was given.

Course of BevinS in
Thompson Matter Now
Under Investigation

AS an outcome of the petition oil
Isaac Wallace for writ of mandamus
directed to E. r. Bevins, County at
torney, Judge L. L. Burr of the cir
cult court has announced that he
would send a copy of the reply in the
proceedings to the chief justice of
the supreme court calling his atten-
ton to certain paragraph specifical-
ly. He SO stated in a decision which
he handed down covering points of
law in connection with the reply of
the petitioner.
Going through the reply section by
section and finds paragraph 1, irrelev-
ant and immaterial. Paragraph 2 he
considers proper if the return was
proper as an excuse to an excuse is
proper. Paragraph and 4 are order
ed stricken.
Continuing, the court said: There
is another matter the court will take
up: In view made of the reply made
in paragraph 8 of the return to the
reply, those matters having been
placed in the records of this court,
and the allegations amounting, in fact
to so many accusations against the
respondent herein, the court feels
they cannot well be passed unnoticed:
If the allegations in the reply are true
some action should be taken against
the respondent herein if not true the
respondent herein should be exonerat-
ed; but as the chief justice of the
supreme court of the Territory Of
Hawaii in his report to the legisla-
ture now in session (under the head
ing Legislation Suggested0 has ask
ed that the power to deal with prac-
titioners, and to pass upon the com
potency and propriety of such prac-
titioners to practice, should be vested
solely with the supreme court; and
as the Legislature now in session
following out such suggestion-has
enacted Act so which makes the su-
preme court the sole power to pass
upon matters pertaining to the COM
potency and propriety of practitioners
at law, l will refer this matter to the
chief justice by sending copy of the
reply to him, his attention being call
ed especially to paragraph thereof"

the reply to the chief Justice of the
Supreme Court County Attorney Bev-
ins replied taht he had not the slight
est objection to a full and thorough
investigation by the court or any 9th

that nothing could be found in his Con
duct in the whole of the affair men
toned in the reply that cou.d be said

PSychical Research
Society Seems Sure

Call for meeting of those inter-
ested in the formation OF Phychical
Research Society to be held on Tues
day afternoon, May 10, will be issued
during the coming week. Numbers
of replies have been received to the
letters sent out and following the an
nouncement in last weeks Maui
News. 1t is now expected that DR..
James H. M. Le-Apsley will be over
from Honolulu for a meeting to be
held the first Tuesday in June.
Some changes in the original plans
have been made necessary by let
ter received from DR.. Le-Apsley Mrs.
j. M. Dowsett, secretary of the Ha-
waiian Psychical Research Society,
had said that DR.. Le-Apsley would
probably be able to arrange to spend
the summer on Maui. Instead of that
he will make trips from Honolulu
over and writes that he will make
such trips at least once month. He
has suggested that Tuesday evenings
be selected for meetings as that would
enable him to leave Honolulu on Mon
days and be at home again by Thurs
day mornings, not interfering with his
work and that of the society in Ho-
nolulu.
Thus far more than 20 have signi
fled desire for the formation of
society and replies are still coming
in. Those who desire to be notified
of the preliminary meetings should
communicate at once with DR.. Joseph
Y. Ting or Joseph H. Gray.

Children'S Homes Are
Growing Probability
For Maui Unfortunate

instead of single childrens home
Maui will have two, one for the
smaller boys and the girls and one
for the larger boys, those cf scEool
age, according to the latesi plans as
given out by Father Justin The home
for girls and the little boys that are
under school age will be at Makawao
and that for the larger boys will he
in Wailuku, near st. Anthony's school,
which they will attend. Both institu-
tions will be in charge of Catholic
sisters as was contemplated in the
plans which were abandoned. These
tentative arrangements were made by
Father Justin during his visit 10 llo-
noluIu and since his return.
Though the children's homes will
be Catholic institutions and conducted
by the Catholic Church they will not
be dependent solely upon cnur IN ,,!p
pct but will receive contributions ioi
thcii support from those OF oiher de-
VACCINATIONS who recognize he need
FOL and worth of such hoiacs. Some
such support has already been lI cmis
ed and further support in the way of
dohai1ons and subscriptions VII be
Weic, med. Father Justin and the
others who are fostering the pi.ui are
beins assured of cooperation from
vaiious sources.
IN legard to the conduct Of the
boys school, it is now considered
likely that it will be conducted much
among the same lines as it Father
our school on Hawaii, an institution
the worth of which is recognized in
all parts of the Islands and which
fills most important place for the
Big Island.
On Maui those who are at all fami-
liar with welfare work recognize the
growing need for an orphanage or
home and numbers of them are strong
in their advocacy of the new plans.

School Lunch Fund Is
Still Below the Need

Appeal for funds with which to con-
tinue supplying school lunches to un-
dernourished children, as published
in last weeks Maui News, has met
with an encouraging response. 1t is
only the beginning, however, and
considerable more money is needed
for the continuation of the work
through May and June is assured
There is no question about the inn
portance of the work, say the school
nurses; many of the school children
are in sore need of good, nourishing
food, and are not able to pay for it
themselves. The teachers and nurses
are spending considerable time and
trouble in this school lunch program.
Without funds the work will have to
be dropped at the end of this month
and the children will suffer for it, but
if the people of Maui will step for
ward and contribute enough TO keep
this work going until the end OF the
term, 800 for May and June each
respectively. it is expected that the
legislature will then have appropriat-
ed sufficient funds to continue the
work through the next two years.
Money should be sent and checks
made payable to C. S. Childs, Alex
ander House Settlement, Waikiki.

New Hours Named For
Garden Irrigation by
The Water Department

Upper WailuRu is again suffering
water shortage morning and evenings
and again has it become evident that
the mains serving the town are in
adequate to furnish pressure since
they empty into the clear and newer
pipes that supply Kahului. Until
such time as larger mains can be
installed it is necessary to take steps
to relieve the situation otherwise as
far as may be. For that reason the
management of the water department
has made changes in the hours whe
irrigating is permitted.
Notices have been printed for dis
tribution among water users OF Wal
luku and Kahului and the same no
tice is being published in this issue
of Maui News. The hours for irriga-
tion are to be $3.50 to 1890 in the
morning and 6 to in the evening.
1t is hoped in that way to have a
sufficient force of water to supply US
ers with their morning and evening
needs. Unless economy is practiced
in the use for irrigation purposes at
such times great inconvenience re-
suits to many.
This morning at half past six at
the corner OF Main and High streets
there was not sufficient force to raise
stream ten feet. The same condi-
tion prevailed between five and half
past six on Wednesday and Thursday
evenings. Under those circumstances
those who live above the ground floor
were out of luck unless they had
drawn water in advance for dental
cleansing and lavation purposes. 1t
was provoking to hear the sound Of
water running on the ground outside
and TO face trickleless faucet inside,
In case of fire such a condition is
alarming. Should roof take fire any
where in upper Wailuku under such
circumstances there could be no i'm
mediate steps taken to eXtinguish it
except with ladder and bucket bri-
gade.

Roosevelt Hymn
o lover of the things God made!
Hill, valley, mountain plain:
The lightning from the darkened
cloud,
The storm burst with it's rain;
Seeker of wilds and jungled wood,
Tall trees and rivers swift;
The wide expanses of the West
The Rockies high uplift!
Lover of beasts which roam abroad
The wildcats piercing cry;
The lions roar in his own haunts
Where sombre shadows lie;
Bold, rugged shadows lie;
Bold, rugged, brave, fearful of none,
Yet WIN listening ear
For song of some shy, happy bird
That he might chance to hear!
Visioned to find the mysteries
Which many eyes see not;
Sermons in stones, books in the
brooks
Wehre God his word hath wrought;
A willing soul for every call
Ffbm earth's remotest place,
Whether to climb the mountains
height
Or meet God face to face!
Lover of man, his comrade, friend,
What'er his race or creed;
Sincere and loyal, kind and true,
At hand in every need;
Human in touch, God-like in SOUL
Clean, wholesome, just and good,
Type of the great American
Made in Gods rare Manhood!
Roosevelt is now the name of the
place formerly called "Pukoo."
