does thirteen seem the symbol of all
disaster to you? Then listen to this.
Tc- thirty-nine years in New York
city there has prospered an organiza-
ton known as the Thirteen Club"
Lady Luck has followed its members
since it began. 1t started out with
thirteen courses at dinner, drank thir-
teenth day of each month, at the thlr-
teanth minute after the hour, ate
thirteen course at dinner, drank thlr-
teen drinks, sat under thirteen um-
brellas and sported skeletons and
crossbones in defiance Of fate, put
ting the jinx on superstition forever.
This week the club celebrated the
! thirty-ninty anniversary. It has now
some 213 members and Colonel John
r. Tobbs, its chief ruler, declares: =

ance companies. Our longevity S
marvellous" ."
Live Longer Than Others
! If Colonel HOODS were surerstitoNs
ne would declare: Thirteen is our
lucky number But he is serious in
his outcry against such superstition
and asserts:
Life insurance companies assure
rs that. taken man for man, with re-
spective ages, we live longer than per
sons in any other walk Of life. They
say that if al people were Ike US life
Insurance companies would 90 bank

SCOUTING AIDS LEPERS

At the Kalihi leper receiving sta
has 20 members.
The idea Of forming this troop orig
mated with the superintendent of the
station who says: Scouting has per-
formed miracle among all in the set
tlement. 1t has cultivated a spirit Of
cheerfulnesss and desire to be help
full. 1t has given the boys something
worth while to do, and has proved
wonderful source Of entertainment to
the men and women who are here.
Scouting has made these lads
thrifty. Before the advent of the
movement many Of the boys spent their
money as fast as they could on trifles
which peddlers would leave at the gate
Now they save to buy their uniforms
and equipment"
According to the local executive, ev-
cry one Of these boys Will in time be
paroled-cured. The troop Is COM
posed at 10 Hawaiians and one Japa-
!. .nese. The scoutmaster, 'Enoch sAku, q
Hawaiian, twenty-five years of age, is

mer, the very day the annual boy scout
camp opened, Enoch Aku was paroled
from the station. He went to camp,
and after the vacation period was over,
declared his intention Of spending his
time In furthering the work Of scouting
among the shut-in boys at Kalihi.
Since the formation of the troop,
each week, scoutmasters from Homo
lulu take turns in giving instruction
at the station in the various branches
Of scouting. Between the visiting
scoutmasters and the boys is net
ting, but It is simple matter for the
boys to follow instructions in spite Of
this barrier.
For their daily good turns" the
boys aid their brother scouts and the
other patients, and take care Of the
ground about the station.

Playing before large audience, the
Ferncliff Players put over Nothing
But the Truth" at Epiphany Hall last
Friday evening. The recent Broad
way hit revealed the Grantwood anna
teurs we'll coached, and their perform
ance was a creditable one.
Amateurs are not expected to fill
the parts as professionals do who
practice day in and day out for weeks
before the production is given. The
members of the cast which gave
Nothing But the Truth" displayed
their talents to much better advan-
tage than most could. This is suf-
ficient to say, as all who attended
were we'll pleased with the presenta
ton.
John Grimes, as Richard Benton,
filled the principal role. that of a
man who bets $4,000 of his sweet
hearts money that he could tell the
truth for twenty-four hours. The
other constituents of the cast helped
greatly in the creation of pleasure for
the audience. In all, the acting Of the
play was a pleasure. to watch.
Dancing to the tunes Of the De Luxe
Syncopators followed the perform
ance.

FOR DISTRICT BILLS

In an effort to obtain a day for
District legislation, Chairman Focht
of the House District Committee con-
ferred with House leaders yesterday
on the necessity of passing several
bills of great importance to the Dis
trict.
The fact that so few of the days
allotted to the District had been de-
voted to District matters has caused
an accumulation of bills that require
consideration. Focht declared. Many
of the items have been passed by the
Senate and IL would only be a ques-
tion Of a few hours to dispose of
