How Ship Captain Discovered Prop
critics OF What Are Known a.
the Barking sanda"

Fifteen miles from waimea, Kauai.
where Captain Cook first landed on
Hawaiian soil, are u line Of windswept
sand hills called the Barking sands
when dry. the wind on the sands
makes them rustic like silk +: TO stamp
On them brings forth different ca
dences; while to slide down them
produces sounds like a dog barking
For many years the problem Of this
phenomenon remained unsolved until
the captain Of u sailing vessel. one
day. used the sand for ballast. Sail
Ing out to sea. his ship became un-
manageable against the wind. On ex-
animation. the captain found that his
ballast had greatly reduced In weight.
Further examination revealed the
presence OF minute cavities In the sand
grsnules
The captain had fiIied his ships hold
with water soaked sand. when the
moisture eyaporated, nothing was left
but the hollow grains which were too
light for ballast.
The injection and election Of air
into and out Of the cavities are sup
posed to produce the curious soundA

RECREATION IN THE HOME

People should plan for entertain
ment in the home as regularly an'
faithfully as they plan for dinner OF
steep at night. In every home q
certain time should be set aside foi
/ play and recreation.
The hour after supper Is perhaps
the best time to do this, but what
ever the hour IL should be kept a.
free from other duties as possible
IL should be time for family talk,
singing. games, music and laughter.
TIE constant grind Of daily duties
will eventually bring wrinkles and
de- ection, and will drive away the in
clination to indulge in wholesome fun
and laughter. In other words, it has
tens old age. Fun and laughter in
at undance are as essential to joy and
happiness as are food and clothing,
and provision should always be made
fer them.
Young parents should take time to
plan something for the play hour. and
as soon as their children are old
enough to assist in making plans they
should be given the opportunity. As
the family grows older all should
have a part in this. II is just as
important for a child to know how
to make home life happy as il is to
make a living; and the only way he
can learn is by doing. The time tn
ken from other duties for planning
the play hour will always be well
spent
What should go into the plans for
this glad hour of the day?
I. Family singing. A lot Of peo-
pie don't sing because they know
almost nothing to sing, and they
don't know because their parents
didHt sing with them and teach
them There are numerous songs
available which everyone should
know. "Old Kentucky Home" "Ol1
Black joe" Swanee River" Garry
Nc Back to Old virginny," "Ameri-
ca" Annie Laurie" "Star Spangled
Banner" and hundreds Of others, in.
religious songs and old bal
lads, and negro melodies. Much at.
tention should be devoted to singing
not only for the sake of singing but
also to teach children what and how
to sing.

The heaviest production Of butter
for the entire country so far the

the past week. Production from now
on should show a gradual decrease,
governed by the pasturage condi-
tons. On account of good demand
for current use and storage purposes,
the market has worked slightly high.
er.
Production Of eggs is normal fcr
this season of the year. The consum-
ing demand is not as heavy as prev
iously, and the amount going to
storage is about normal. Prices
have shown some decline.
On account Of demand being for
fine stock, best prices are being paid
Vt eggs from northern sections.
The movement Of live hens con-
tinues heavy for this time of year
and all markets are on a lower level.
Spring chickens are moving in lar
ger quantities and prices are wor-
king lower, which is usual for this
season.

HOME DEPARTMENT


2. Plays and games. II Is just as
necessary for child to play as IL Is
for him to sleep. II children cannot
have plenty Of entertainment In the
home they will finally seek II else
where. When fathers and mothers
begin making IL a part Of their
DAVIS business TO play more with their
children home will have a new mean
ing and a new attraction for them.
8 Storytelling. There are hun
drcds Of fine, wholesome stories suit
able for telling ut the Preside for
the entertainment Of the entire fam
lily. Every man and boy Of the
countryside knows quite well the
character Of stories that men COM
monty tell when they get together.
The more vulgar the story the more
popular il is with many. An excel
lent way, and the only effective way.
to drive out the evil stories is to
overcome them with good ones.
4. Instrumental music. Every
child should learn how to play some
kind Of musical instrument, and
should be glad to add his bit to the
music in the home. Nothing adds
more to the joy Of the home and the
friends who call than good instrument
tel music. II child has opportunity
ard means to take music lessons he
should do so; but IL these are lacking
he should learn how to play anyway.
In many homes instrumental music
Is thought to belong To girls only;
bat the boys need to share this also.
The common instruments are: organ,
piano, violin, banjo. guitar. mando-
lin, harp. flute fife. cornet. One may
be able to entertain friends and make
good music for the home on any one
Of these instruments even without
expensive lessons.
Too much time cannot be devoted
TO recreation in the home. One o.
these days a lot Of parents will wake
up to find that the chief reason why
young folks leave home early is be-
cause there is almost nothing there
to attract them. When parents see
to il that home is the place not mere
~ for eating aud sleeping and wor-
king but also for having plenty of
music, laughter and good times the
young folks will be quite willing to
and be contented.
