HAWAIPS GREAT EXPERIMENT MAY
 BE SUCCESSFUL

Honolulu, T. H., duly 1s-Hawaii's great human experiment-coloniza ton of lands on the island of Molo- kai by Hawaiians and part Hawaiians in an endeavor to rehabilitate the dying race-has every chance of suc- cess, in the opinion of Dr. Elwood Mead, dean of the college of agri- culture of the University of California and head of the California state land development board, expressed after Dr. Mead had made survey of the lands available.
 Dr. Mead was brought to Hawaii by the Holmes commission, which is charged with carrying on the project under the Congressional act provid- ing for the experiment, in order that of his advice and experience gained from colonization projects in Ca1ifor- mia.
 Dr. Mead's main criticism of the plans of the commission was that the land allotted to each sett1er-20 acres would be too large, as it has been ascertained in California that fam fly without capital resources could not cultivate successfully more than from three to II acres of irrigated land Governor Wallace R. Harrington, ex-ofTicio chairman of the Homes commission, pointed out that the re- mobilization law provides a minimum of 20 acres of each homeSteader and that an amendment by Congress would be necessary before farms of lesser area could be allotted.
 The commission announced that three families will be placed on the lands in August and four more lots would be ready for occupancy in September. A total of P lots will comprise the first rehabilitation set tIemen and the remainder are ex- pected to be occupied before the end of the year.

PARENTS ARE CAUSE OF POOR MORALS IS
 REF0RMER'S CLAIM
Policewoman Attributes Fall of Many Girls to Lack of Parental Teach ing.

St. Louis, July 1S.-Lack of par for the degrading state into which the morals of the young girls and boys of today are slipping.
 Taking sides with Dr Wilbur F. Crafts, superintendent of the Inter national Reform Bureau, on the sub ject, Mrs Theresa Baldwin, police woman, comes forward to ask:
 Where is a girls mother all the while her daughter is attending dance halls where she must associate with immoral minds of both SeXeS?"
 A school for delinquent parents is suggested by Mrs. Baldwin, who has made a study of the dance hall situ- ation along with several other police women in this city. She has to say on this subject:
 At a public dance to which several policewomen were sent, conduct was such as to justify the most shocking statements on the subject. You'd think we'd be pretty much hardened to anything, but the behavior and conversation of those young people was So shocking that we could hardly make up our minds to stay and see it through
 Young girls-mere children crave excitement, and the automibile supplies it in the most attractive form. and staying out all hours and the child is brought in by the mother when the damage is done. One little girl of II was found last week the victim of an automobile drinking es- capade."

WANT CAMBRIDGE
 TO UNLOCK DOORS
 AND ADMIT WOMEN

London, July 1s.-Oxford Univer- sity now admits women freely to it's degrees and to university member ship, but Cambridge still locks its doors against them. Naturally the women don't feel a bit grateful for such glimpses. They want the doors unlocked.
 The women from the Cambridge colleges of Newnham and Girton have demanded admission to degrees and university membership on the same terms as men. Not long ago some 2,6O0 of them signed a petition to this effect The reply given by the uni versity was polite, but unsatisfactory.
 Within the last two years Cam bridge has voted and countervoted on various proposals to admit women. The only proposal which it has ac- tually carrfed-and to this practical effect has not yet been given-is that women who are qualified for degree status may obtain titles of degrees, ,' but not real degrees.
 In making this ha1f-hearted offer Cambridge is proposing to treat wo- men just as it formerly treated Jews and Nonconformists. whom also it tried to satisfy with titular degree until Parliament stepped In and com pel1ed the university to abolish its discrfnainations of creed.
 Now women want Parliament to intervene and compel Cambridge to

"JEWEL JAG" OF
 FOUR YEARS OVER

Paris, July 1s-Europe's four year Jewel jag" is about over, and the Paris jewel trade forsees the passing of the crisis in the trade that resulted from the dumping of about a billion francs worth of stolen, confiscated and Leonard Rosentha1 the jewel expert employed to value the Hapsburg treasure, says the collapse in the precious stone market was prevented only by the wars creation of enough profiteers to absorb the oversupply.
 This flood of jewels, Rosentha1 says. came in three waves. The first was brought by fleeing Russian aris- tocratS who smuggled out family for tunes in their hair or sewn in the lin ings of their clothing. Sometimes valuable stones were swallowed to be were even embedded in the flesh. One Russian prince sold for 5,500.- 900 francs a group of emeralds his ancestors bought two centuries ago for 4SO,00o. One of the Czar's em- eralds was sold in Paris for 32 times its cost. A Russian duke congrat- ulated upon selling his jewels for 1o,- 0o0,oo0 replied. How can I live on 500,0O0 francs a year." His pre-war expenditures in Petrograd varied be- tween, 12,0Oo,000 and 15 100000 francs yearly.
 The second wave consisted of jew els valued at 3oo,o0o,0o0 to 100000 thir6 wave was the dispersion of the collections of king and kinglets. princes and dukes of Germany and Austria-Hungary. The Ha,psburg court furnished the treasure of 10 centuries and for this Emperor francs but took between 25,o0o,oO0 and 30,0O0,OO0.

DOCTOR STARTS GLAND FARM TO
 CURE SENILITY
Actual Transplantation of Glands Unnecessary To Restore Youth.
By THOMAS MORGAN International News Service Stah
 Correspondent

West Dennis, Mass, July 1S.-Cape Cod, the land of the Pilgrim fathers, now offers to the tourist and summer visitor in addition to it's antiques. his toric dwellings and picturesque na- tiVes the added attraction of a mod ern gland farm
 On a 25-acre farm here Dr. J. Leo Hanson, director of the Massachusetts Clinic for Diagnosis, who has long been specialist in glands, says he has established q fountain of youth Spanish explorers, who vainly search ed the Western hemisphere. Goats and guinea pigs in large numbers have been brought to the small animals in his automobile, is a familiar sight.
 Dr. Hanson differs radically with some of the best known specialists in gland treatment. He declares that in many cases surgical operations are unnecessary, and that youthful vigor may be restored without the actual transplanting of glands. He contends that the effect produced by new glands is not as lasting as that pro- duced by treating the old glands, if they are given attention in time Soon. he says, a person will have his. or her, for that matter, glands tuned up with little more concern than that attending the adjustment of the car buretor of the family flivver.
 Sixty per cent. of Massachusetts gland treatment. and even a. larger proportion Of the women, according to the doctor.
 Senility, he says, is a disease, just as much tuberculosis or cancer, and should be treated as such.
 pr. Hanson maintains that the glands transferred to Harold F.. Mo Cormick, millionaire Harvester mag nate of Chicago, did not constitute a sacrifice of his youth on the part of the man furnishing the glands. The glands were not taken in their en- tirety and the missing portion would be replaced by nature.
 A solution for ''manishnt>ss'' in women and "effeminism' in men is to be found in gland treatment. ac- cording to Dr. Hanson.

abolish it's discrimination against their sex. And signs are not lacking that Cambridge is beginning to see that it will not pay to keep the wo- men knocking at their doors much longer.
 A deputation consisting of several members of Parlia ment, the heads of Girton and Newnham colleges and other friends of the movement re- gently talked with MT. Fisher, Minis ter of Education. The Minister made it quite plain that he was on the side of the women and would do all he could to persuade Cambridge to open its doors to them Parliament also was undoubtedly on their side. Cam bridge was looking for a grant from the Exch eQuer, he said. but it was not liely Parliament would vote it while Cambridge continued to exclude wom- en. If Cambridge found that by keep ing women out the needed money also would be kept out she would prob ably quickly decide to let them in. It might not therefore become neces- sary to employ legislative pressure to force her to open her doors.

FARM LABORERS
 NOW DRIVE THEIR
 OWN MOTOR CARS

 a story about California or some other times make a lot of money. But it isn't. It is taken from a report of the big profits made in Hampshire. Kent, Lincolnshire and a few other counties. of this old land by farmers who raise fruits and particularly strawberries. Such tales are not often heard in England. English farmers, as a. rule, take more delight in telling tales of woe than of well-being.
 Giving details of this agricultural prosperity, the reports says: 'In one case a man cut up a field of Is acres in acre plots and offered it to the laborers of the parish. He had arranged the payments to extend over ten years, but nine of the 5 purchas- CTS paid for it on the spot. Within four years all the rest paid up. One has sold fl, 900 worth of strawberries from his one acre plot.
 '1t Is not to strawberries alone that such men turn their attention. They make good profits out of plums, ap- pies. cherries, gooseberries and cur- rants.
 At the time of the great agricul- tural depression Gladstone suggested that farmers should grow fruit in received with scorn and derfsion by the old fashioned farmers. One man however, thought the experiment worth trying. He has retired with a large fortune. Hundreds of others are now following in his footsteps

GREAT BRITAIN
 IN DIRE PERIL

London, July 1S--Britain is declar- ed again to be in dire peril. She is described as in a dangerous state of unpreparedness against air attack. Experts contend that London could be laid in ruins from the air within A hours. Many facts and figures are given by various newspapers to
 Britainc and Londoners especially, are told they should be So badly scar
 ed they wouldn't sleep Soundly in their beds again until something was done to set matters right. But the stold BritisherS refuses to be scared for anybody or anything. He rejoices that is has temporarily stopped rain ing and that the last two days of the Ascot racing were gloriousIy fine.
 But there may be serious trouble brewing for the government over the state of the country's air defenses. Major-Genera1 Seely started the trou- ble-as trouble is often started here by asking a question in Parliament as to how the country was fixed for airplanes in case ofswar.
 The reply of Captain Guest, the air minister, was not exactly calcuN ted to make nervous people feel comfort able. He said that while the country
 in 1920 had 1S6 civil airplanes fit
 for war. it now had only S3 and these were of 2S different types. This year there are only Is machines actually flying in regular service.
 The Air League of the British Elm pire, which aims to do for the Air Force what the Navy League does for the Navy, saw in the turn affairs had taken a chance to do some ef- fective propaganda work. and issued a statement of which this is the gist The total strength of the Royal Air Force in these islands Is 12 squadrons, of which a percentage are skeleton forma tions

In The Theatres
DAWES. .

Constance Talmadge has as many roles as a female tmpersonator in her latest First National attraction, Polly of the Follies,'' at the Dave theatre. In the fast moving story the action carries the star from one phase of life to another with such rapidity that her different costumes almost resen1- b1e a composite of the worlds latest fashion models, with one exception.
 The exception is in the opening scenes which show Miss Ta1madge as a gingham gowned country girl. From that inauspicious opening she rapidly becomes star of amateur theatricals wearing the gowns of Broadway's latest creations with calm nonchal- ance. From the Broadway accoutre ments she drifts to a 1urid colored creation of silks and satins that mark society's standard in the fashionable benefit given for charity.
 With her introduction to MT. Flo Ztegfeld and his beauty chorus, Miss Talmadge reverts to the gorgeous cos tunes of Cleopatra, surfeited by fifty pounds of beads and a magnificent headpiece of jewels and ornaments The barbaric sp1endor of the costume is accentuated by the g1ittering arm bands and ankle bracelets.

 The weather sharps who do nothing but progn ost1cate day after day lead a placid life compared with the ardu- ous labors of the scientists connected with the Chronological Division.
 Each day the Weather Bureau is in- undated with queries, some good, some not so good, but all urgently request Ing replies These queries are shunt- ed to the CHmatologicaI Division. and then ensues a wrestling match which would make a heavyweight catch-as- catch-can bout resemble a playful tus- sic
