HEARING IS POSTPONED
Court Considers Plea to Change
Petition in Insurance
Commissioner Case,

Hearing on the mandamus proceed
ing by which DR.. Lewis A. Griffith
seeks to be restored to the position of
District insurance commissioner was
postponed yesterday pending decision
by Justice tHitz of the District Supreme
Court on an application Of w. Gwynn
Gardiner, former District Commits
sioner, for leave to file an amended
petition. The court took the question
of the amendment under advisement.
The amendment sought to be in
corporated refers to alleged CONVEX
sations between Commissioner Ru-
dolph and DR.. Griffith and a statement
by Senator France of Maryland after
his talk with the president of the
board of District Commissioners
Counsel for DR.. Griffith seeks to Off
set the claim made in the answer of the
Commissioners that they considered
the incumbent inefficient and that
the new legislation called for a better
equipped man. The Commissioners
also denied that 1t was political in
fluence that caused a change in the
Office.
Griffith wants the record to show
that Commissioner Rudolph told him
d fellows on the hill have been

Christian had written from the White
House for the appointment" Senator
France is alleged to have said the
Commissioner informed him that the
matter had been fixed and it is too
late to change It"

"My mother told me to always keep

Sammy Jay nodded his head. "Of

he. And the young who heed the
advice of their elders are wise. But

Sammy Jay Gives Mis-
Chiev0uS Advice.
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.
Alas. More often than il should,
Desire makes advice seem good.
Afnfhar Nature

Sammy Jay is blue-coated imp of
mischief Yes, sir, he is just this.
He is never happier than when he Is
plotting mischief So when he dis
covered that the young Fox who had
started out to make his own way in
the Great World really didn't know
what a rooster was he couldn't let
the opportunity for mischief pass.
When he could stop laughing at the
idea of any Fox not knowing what a
rooster was he few down a little
nearer to the young Fox.
Excuse me, Master Fox" said he.
Excuse me for laughing at you. !
don't blame you for being angry. l
shouldn't have laughed at you. 1t
struck me as funny that any Fox
should ask what a rooster is. But
of course shouldn't have expected
a young Fox to know what a rooster
is if he has never tasted-I mean
seen-one."
At this seeming slip of Sammy S
tongue the young Fox pricked up his
ears. DO you mean that roosters
are good to eat:" he demanded.
"I've never tasted one said
Sammy, 80 l cannot say. But I've
always understood that among Foxes
they are considered the finest eating
in all the Great World"
Just then the young rooster over
in Farmer Browns henyard crowed
again. The young Fox listened
eagerly. Il wish said he. that
that rooster would come over here
that l might see him."
Il don't think he will" said Sammy

A DUSTY car full of travel
~ stained persons drew up be-
~ fore.a dusty yellow house. All
about the house the grass was
grown knee high and the hedge was
unclpped. Merriam Lindsay gazed at
it, quite startled that any little
house could look SO abandoned and
neglected just because it had been
left to it's own devices for month.
But the twins didn't see the dust
and the uncut hedge. They tumbled
out Of the car exuberantly, with their
Gairn terrier at their heels, to run
About the house crying. See our
Pumpkin Shell!'
Ricky was first at the door. putting
It rapturously. and with childish
abandon she stood tiptoe to kiss the
dusty panel. Hello house" she
cooed.
But three minutes later the tired
little girl was sobbing wildly. Three
years old. just going on four, Is
mighty hard To reason with. And
Fredericka had been thinking that.

Pumpkin Shell. she would see her
daddy boy" And no sooner had
her mother unlocked that door than
the small girl went through the house

boy
Her grandfather knelt to dry her
tears.
There! There" he comforted her.
You wouldn't want your daddy boy
to come home and find you bowling
like this! Just look-Dicky isn't cry
ing!'
Small Dick was struggling man
fully with a piece of luggage that
was much too heavy for him to carry.
And back of him came Ralph Beecher,
more bags in his hands.
1t had been a hard days drive. And
the small house was musty and dusty.
But young Beecher and Merriam's S
father hustled about. opening doors
and windows. and Ricky dried her
tears when she saw Dicky dragging
out express wagons and velocipedes
from under the side porch where they
had parked them a month before.
Merriam herself found a gay Gre
tonne apron that she pulled on over
her travelling clothes and began in
specting kitchen supplies. She made
out a tentative marketing list for her
father and young Beecher to take to
the nearest store.
We're all that tired and hungry
and dirty that we won't want to go
anywhere to eat except home" she
decided SenSlDly. Get a SOOd DlS
thick steak. Pater, and some corn on
the cob If they have it, and scads of
lettuce. And butter and cream-oh,
yes, milk and eggs for the young
sters. and coffee for US. And right
across the road from the market
you'll see a cunning little bake shop
that has all kinds of crisp rolls and
nice fat cookies that We can all eat"
She fluttered about importantly. Just
having these homely tasks to per-
form made her feel more cheerful
than she had for several days.
But when the two men had depart
ed on their errands, young Beecher
at the wheel of the dusty car. Mer-
riam leaned despondently against her
kitchen cupboard.
The little house was ghastly still.
And hanging on the back Of the
kitchen door was an old fishing hat
that John had worn when he was
gardening. Merry reached out her
hand for the battered straw andN cud-
died it against her heart.
'Oh. my darlingest!" she whispered.
Il don't care where you are or
whether you've stolen all the money

A CCORDlNG to the latest issue
~ Of Mother and Child, the
~ publication of the American
Hygiene Association, reports
have been received from England
which show that that country and
Wales are both wide awake to the
physical needs OF their school chill
dren and doing much to rectify de-
fects along this line.
The report shows that during the

2,400.0e0 were medically examined
during the year in three groups. at
the ages Of five, eightaand twelve
years. the first age being that OF
entry and the last that OF leaving
school OF the 100000 children ex-
the number-were suffering from de-
fects.
The percentage Of defects was found
to be smallest In the residential
towns. while the rural areas were
scarcely better than industrial towns
showed the highest number of chill
dren of any of the areas suffering
from diseases of the nose and throat.
The school medical service. when
started, uncovered many basic facts
which were rather contrary to
! theories previously maintained. One
of them was that the educators
learned that children must be con-
sidered as individuals and not taken
in herds like cattle and sheep. Gradu-
ally interest in this reconstructive
campaign for the school children's 5
health is being developed among the
parents and teachers.

Kahului Kindergarten
Goes Out on Picnic

Children of the Kahului Kinder
garten had a happy day of it Tues.
day when they were taken on a
picnic to Kihei, had heaps and heaps
of good things to eat, lots and lots
of soda pop, the best kind of a time
and water mellon when they got back
to Kahului. In the party there were
SO little folk, the number reduced
somewhat because of the prevalence
of some children's diseases in Kahu,
lui which has temporarily reduced
school attendance somewhat. 1t had
been arranged by Mrs. Kondo and
Miss Cabral, the kindergarten teach
ers and was made a by liberal
contributions from Kahului business
houses which also furnished the trans
portation. Working with the two
teachers was a committee composed
of Rev. Kondo, Mr.. Maihara, principal
of Puunene school and Mr.. Tamabe,
principal of Kahului Japanese school.
Each child took lunch and the
teachers furnished sandwiches and
cookies, business houses also furnish
ing cookies and other eats and three
cases of soda water.
The party left the school at $3.50
and was back again at 1870 after such
a good time and when they reached
the school house there came another
surprise for awaiting them were five
water melons supplied by Mrs. Kondo
and from the school fund. And when
the melons were all devoured the
happy children went home and told
their parents what a perfect day they
had had.

Gay Plumaged Birds
Brighten Scene in
Motor Car Show Room

Birds of plumage so gay that they
make the hueS of the rainbow or of
a sunset seem dull and somber, birds
with feathers of brilliant orange,
flaming red and Gorgeous purple, birds
of a soft gray bodies that appear
bedecked with pink w~aistcoats, yell
Low headed birds with pompadours
of an Irish green, occupy one end of
the show room of Maui Motors Ltd.
There are parrots, parakeets, love
birds and feathered beauties it would
take an ornothologist to classify.
They look as if some artist imp had
been loose among them with paint
brush and gaudy pigments.
Frank II. Locey brought back with
him from Honolulu several crates of
birds, of many. of which he does nor
know the names though they are duly
described in the bill of sale that he
got with them. There is n large
cage of grey bodied, pink breasted
parrots which, he says readily become
great whistlers. Another cage con-
tains smaller parrots mostly green
bodied but among them the one with
the faces of an Ulster orangeman and
the pompadour of a Dublin Sim
Feiner. Yet another cage contains
parakeets and still another has the
love birds and then there are still
other crates with the unnamed varie-
ties.
There recently arrived in Honolulu
a vessel with a cargo of birds and
animals and it is from that cargo that
the purchases of Locey come.
/ e. r. Bevins was interested visitor
at the show room Wednesday norm
ing. He is an enthusiastic member
of the Maui Gun Club and at once
was full of the idea of having them
turned loose on the slopes of Halea-
kala. The bright feathers of some of
them, he was certain, would eliminate
the possibility of a miss by the poor
est shots of the club but c. E. Morris
suggested that the brilliancy of the
mark might dazzle the eye.
Bevins idea may have been sug-
gested By the fact that the shipment
of pheasants which were to have been
sent to Maui for release on Saturday
never got aboard steamer and were
left at the dock. They have been re
leased on Oahu and Maui will have to
wait for a new shipment for it's sup
ply.
Another visitor suggested that par
rots are the latest accessory to the
automobile and no equipment can be
regarded as complete unless there be
a parrot to swear for one when a tire
gets punctured.
