The next moment a great cavern
hod opened before them

In their excitement they had for
gotten they had been turned into
Slumber Sprites. No one can harm
Slumber Sprites, not even by swallow
ing them .
They were in darkness an instant
Then presto, they were safe and
Sleepy W%oodchuck and Black Snake
were ahead of them and close after
came Chip and Clipper Chipmuck
and Colonel Croaker.
"My, this Hungry Crocodile is a
greedy chap )" chuckled Sleepy Wood
chucked. LET punish his greediness
by playing a Slumber Sprite joke on
him"
Saying this, Sleepy Woodchuck ran
out over the Hungry Crocodile's snout
and jumped into the river. Quick as a
wink the Hungry Crocodile's jaws
snapped and Sleepy W~oodchuck AN
ished. But Sleepy Woodchuck didn't
stay vanished. He bobbed up through
the Hungry C%rocodile's back as pert
as ever Then Black Snake followed,
and Colonel Croaker, and Chip and
Clipper Chipmuck and Jack and
Janet.

Sleepy Woodchuck. Jack and Janet
agreed. They were having as much
fun as though they were sliding or
the chutes at a playground. And the
Hungry Crocodile seemed to De en-
joying it more than any one else. He
thought he was getting the biggest
meal of his life, not knowing that he
was clipping only Slumber Sprites,
who we're no more solid than a sum
mer breeze.
Would you like to go for a boat
rider" asked Sleepy Woodchuok, as
the game began to grow old.
Yes, Jack and Janet would like to
go for a boat ride. But it was a very
queer kind of a boat ride Sleepy Wood
chuck planned. He snatched a float
ing stick from the river and tightly
grasped one end.
Hold me out ahead of the Hungry
C%rocodile's snout and see what hap
pens" he chuckled.
Jack and Janet pushed the stick out
until Sleepy W%oodchuck was hanging
Just beyond reach of the Hungry
C%rocodile's jaws. This was easy as
Sleepy Woodchuck in his Slumber
Sprite form weighed no more than the
air.
The Hungry Crocodile swished the
water with his powerful tail and made
a grab for Sleepy Woodchuck. But
of course, Sleepy Woodchuck stayed
Just out of reach. Away went Hungry
Crocodile, trying to catch him, ano
away went Jack and Janet and the
others on a jolly ride.
Friday will be told how Jack ane
Janet get a call back from Egypt.

The Daily Fun Hour
Greek Courtesy Dance

The players choose partners. Two
couples face, forming a little square.
These squares are repeated by other
tours in a circle around the room.
Every girl should be at the right hand
of her partner. There are three move
ments, A. B. and C. danced to lively
music.
Movement A. Partners clasp hands
and slide four steps to the left in a
shuttle effect, one couple sliding to-
ward center, the other sliding out of
circle, returning to places in four slid
ing steps. Each square forms a ring,
dancing in eight steps around and
back.
Movements B Hands clasped, part
ners advance three steps to opposite
couple, dance back three steps, then
all courtesy, advance again four steps
and clasp both hands bridgewise with
player opposite. In this position all
slide in eight steps to center and back
to place.
Movement c. Every player Joins
right hands with the player diagonal
ly opposite, the girls clasping each
others hands, and the men or boys
joining hands above them. Thus in
windmill formation, all the tours do
a whirling dance in sixteen skipstops,
forward and back. Then partners
join inside hands, advance three
steps toward opposite couple courtesy
dance back to place and courtesy
again. Lastly, all couples move three
steps to the right, facing a new cou,
pie and, beginning with a deep cour
tesy, the dance is reached from the
commencement.

Good News Brought
Home From Big Isle

Sheriff Glen Crowell and j. p. Coo
kett, county treasurer, returned from
the big Island reaching Lahaina ear
ly Saturday morning on the Mauna-
Kea. Peruvia j. Goodness has gone on
to Honolulu. NJ. G.. Paschoal and the
other Maui campaigners who went to
Hawaii remain there for a few days
longer.
Reports brought home by Crowell
and Cockett are highly encouraging
for they both forecast that the Big
Island will come through for Baldwin
handsomely. Both say that there
were some splendid meetings held
during their stay, largely attended
and that the wave of enthusiasm for
Baldwin appears mounting higher
and higher.
Kumalae will be an important fac
tor in Hawaii County, Crowell said
yesterday morning and he added he
would not be surprised if the indie
pendent Democrat would poll a larger
vote than the regular candidate of
that party.
Such fractional differences as exist
among Republicans of the Big Island
+ not considered as working
against the success of Baldwin but
rather are a stimulous to greater en-
deavor on the part of every faction.
Crowell says that Hawaii can be
put in the Republican column by a
fair majority right now.

in q Special way

when a Chinaman has decided &c
build himself house the first person
he consults is not an architect, but
q sort of wizard.
This individual examines the site
and marks the exact spot for the front
door. In China front doors must new
er face due south, though a partly
southern aspect is highly desirable.
Only houses of the Emperor and OF
high governing officials may front due
south.
The wizard, or Geomancer, next pre-
scribes the exact size of the front door
An inch too much or too little might
have disastrous consequences.
A screen of wood or of bricks must
be erected about three yards in front
of the door. This is to keep. out any
evil breath. Not human breath, nor
malaria, nor bad odorss but some mys-
terious and fatal something which is
only to be kept out by that screen.
The wizard next locates the spot
for the kitchen fireplace. This also
must not face south, because the south
represents fire; and the kitchen fire
and the south fire, working together,
would be so powerful that the house
would just naturally burn up.
Having settled the question of place,
the wizard figures out the time when
work smay be begun with some degree
of safety. For instance, if the earth
god should be at home when the work.
men began digging they might stick
a spade into his august Uranium and
then there would be the devil to pay.
The family living in that house would
die out
The Would-be builder must also find
out whether 1t is a year when he may
with safety begin anything. A man
must not be married, for instance,
when his age is "a or 26, or any even
number.
Having picked out a favorable year,
John must next consider his two lucky
months. for there are only two out
Of the twelve which are favorable TO
his undertaking new things. Then his
yellow road days or good ones must
be determined. There are more black
road days than yellow ones, so the
auspicious moments for starting his
house are finally reduced to pretty
limited number
But that isn't ALL The lucky days
of the whole family must next be
figures out, compared with Johns own
yellow road days and the result boil
ed down The proper moment for
putting the front door in place, for
