Los Angeles Man Has
 Degree In Heavenly
 University, He Says

Los Angeles, Sept. 22.-Nocturnaf wanderings of his soul, while his body rests in sleep, have so advanced that Dr. Guy Bogart, local deliver in things ashrtal. according to his own statements, has been awarded a de- gree in a heavenly university"
 The university which conferred the honor on Bogart is said to be sit uated in AStraIia, one plane beyond AstraIand to which souls are SUD- posedly admitted aIter the finterrup- tiOn" known as death.
 At this fount of astral intelligence, Bogart declares, his spirit met and mingled freely with the teachers of those who are stil1 feeling their way, around in the first stage of their ex- perience.
 Explaining that love is the basic principle on which the school is con ducted BogaTt says that Doctor of Love- is the name of the degree be- slowed on him.
 Another amazing declaration was his assertion that the draft is resort ed to at times in AStraria to obtain sufficient teachers for the work re- quired in the first plane of hereafter life.
 It was explained on one of his as- tral trips, so he says, that during the world war the death rate was so in- creased that a dire shortage of in- structors for newly released souls was expert fenced. This shortage, he

Mail Order Buying
 Popular in St. Thomas

Charlotte Amalia, St. Thomas, V. l., Sept. 22.-St. ThOmianS have been bitten by the mail order bug. Pretty catalogues from American mail order and postal records indicate that goods amounting to $1,000 a day are de1iv- cred in St. Thomas alone by parcel post on c. O. D. basis.
 Merchants are indignant that their stores should be thus slighted, but give a. reason for their inability to compete in price with the mail order houses the fact that they are still loaded up with high price goods de- lfvered to them by American manu- lecturers and exporters as soon as shipping facilities were available after the war.
 Those who buy by mail say they are able to make considerable saving by buying in the United States, and they are becoming more and more fixed in the habit of ordering from catalogues. Mail order buying has be- come such a habit that 1t is said to be a. frequent occurrence for clerks working in the stores to buy by mail, rather than to purchase where they are employed.
 One merchant said it was not oniy the fact that a saving might be made but that mail order buyers liked to receive pleasantly worded acknow1- edgements of their orders, and other letters from the mail order houses. Many of the purchases are for small amounts on which the buyer twill send two or three dollars in ad- vance, hoping to have sufficient money to pay the balance when the c. O. b parcels arrive. When the shoes or hat or suit comes to hand and the balance of the money has not been earned, many of the parcels have tc be returned. and the prospective pur- chaser loses his initial payment.

Poli Review

Charlie Ahern, as the handsome male" band, and later as the grace full and beautiful Hawaiian dancer, Is the big hit on the fine vaudeville bill for this weekend at Polis theatre. Ahearn was never better than he is this year and to his already splendid act he has added many new and nov e1 numbers. He is assisted in his act by his two old pals, the Inidgets. and a few other funsters.
 Jane and Miller, splendid terpsi- chorean artists. rank very next to the 'headliner, in their act, Dance Steps of the Moment" Both young peo- pie are talented and neat dancers and execute many intricate steps with grace and ease. The costumes worn by Jane are especially attractive.
 Jewel and Rita are clever juvenile actors who can both sing and dance. The prevarications in the little skit, Come Out In the Kitchen cause much amusement and laughter. Sew eral fine violin solos are the saving features in the act, "A Village Nut,'' preented by Black and O'DonneIl.
 A big hit on this bill is the sp1en- did picture, ''The Jack-Knife Man" The picture contains a unique plot and proved that simply the presence of a little child may change the en- tire trend of the lives of many peo- pie. Fred Turner realistically en- acts the leading role, while Bobby Kelso, an attractive and talented child actor plays the role of Buddy"

HAWAIIkNS STUDY
 STATE MOTOR LAW

In an effort to bring about an inn provement in the motor vehicle laws of Hawaii, the board of governors of the Auton1 obi1e Club of Honolulu has begun a study of the laws of Con necticut and other states considered to be advanced in such Legislation.
 The Connecticut motor vehicle de- partment has been requested by the Honolulu organization to state whether automobiles are taxed here according to weight. factory price or horsepower; whether personal prop erty tax is assessed additionally by the state; whether Connecticut charges a fee for an operators H. cense; whether this state charges a fee for annual renewal of numDer plates, and information concerning the gasoline tax which was levied by the last session of the legislature.
 The system of determining motor vehicle registration fees by computa- ton of the total piston displacement has been in operation in Connecticut less than a year, having been adopted by the 1921 session of the legislature. As the members of next session of the legislature will not be elected until November, it Is impossible yet to gain an adequate idea of what changes in the motor vehicle laws. if any, will be proposed by them in January. Commissioner Robbins B. StOeckel made the statement at 6 recent New Haven meting that. if the motor ve- hicIe department made any recom- mendatfons fer changes in the fees, it would be for a down ward revision.

HIS DAY

He was gutter-dOg Hopelessly

great brown eyes looked out upon
the world, and dreading it, still held
I great hope in their luminous
depths. Sometime, perhaps, there
would come his day. Our gutter
dog slept at night in the filthy rub
bish heaps of narrow alleyways
Cringing from the morning light and
the host of enemies it brought, he
fought scraps to eat in fly-infested
garbage cans. Shooed. kicked, ston-
ed. cursed at thruout the day, he
again skunk into the alleyway at
night, tucked his tired head betwesn
his bruised thin forepaws, and slept.
Came there a day when hunger drove
him out into the surge and roar OF
city streets. Seeking the gutter, he

street there came the shrek of an
auto horn in raucous warning--a wo-
mans scream-"My babyi" Out of
the gutter spectre of dog has
leaped, stiffened momentarily, be-
come dynamic with action-has be-
come chief character in the grim
street-tragedy.

of triumph over death--relief--th the

body of the dying hero with compass

her lips. The little rescued girl
stood by. ashy-faced, fearful, gazing
also at her rescurer But there was
little need of tears. Our gutter dog
was happy at last. Hts great brown
eyes looked out upon the world

their luminous depths the fulfillment
of a great hope. His day had come,
