"A Daughter of the Sun"

1t is said that the amoutn of leprosy
in the Hawaiian Islands is Is per
cent of the population. This dread
world old disease is thought to have
been brought to these wonderful is
lands by the Chinese early last CEN
tury. The spread of this plague be-
came so rapid that it BECAME neces-
sary to form an isolation colony which
was done on the Island of Molakai, and
today there are segregated 1000 af-
fiicted with this disease. The medical
science of the ages have attempted
at various times to find cure for
leprosy, but tbs needless to say, it
has never been found.
The attempted discovery of REM
edy for leprosy forms an interesting
part of the story of the play, "a
Daughter of the Sum-" the story of
an Hawaiian Butterfly.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1s.-Proposed
wage cuts affecting 10000 workers
on Eastern railroads are being .dis-
cussed between managers and en-
ployes In New York. Jersey City.
Buffalo and Bethlehem, Pa.
Union officials before entering
conferences declared they would
make contemporaries for s
cents an hour Increase, and believed
the parleys would result in a stale
mate to be settled by the United
States Rail Labor Board.
The schedules proposed by rail-
roads are:
Train Service - Reduction of 10
per cent in addition to l2k per cent
ordered by labor board last july.
Shop workers-Skilled labor re-
duced from n to 81 cents an houI;
semiskilled, to So; shop and round
house labor, to 81 or IS.
Maintenance on Way-Cut cents
an hour for mechanics who did not
receive as great increases as in shop
crafts. Track labor based on 80 to
35 cents.
Freight HandIers-s3 to IS cents
an hour.
Union officials said they were sure
the men would not accept a cut.
