When a herd of wild steers, Fquartered for the night on one of the big piers here, broke loose and started on rampage through the streets of Honolulu's business dis trict in the early morning hours, no- body was startled to see Supervisor Eben Low. otherwise known as""Raw- hide Ben," appear on the scene ready Ito do the roundup act clad fn, silk pa]amas and cowboy hat ::5 ,'' 1"Rawhide Ben" was cowboy be- fore he became an Island Alder men" '' So that when somebody turned in the cattle alarm at one o'clock the other morning and told "Rawhide" over the telephone that steers were charging all over the city he took advantage of the al ways prevalent tropical climate and just slipped out of the house in his sleeping suit. He did pause long enough to catch up his sombrero and lariat.
 He used both to advantage when he arrived at Pier IF, whence all attendants had fled. Waving the hat in one hand and the lariat in the other, the pastel colored silk pa jamas very much in evidence, Raw hide" indulged in some roundup" stuff so successfully that he roped steers assiduously and successfully for the next two hours.

GERMAN COMEDIAN
 SpO0FS RUSSIANS

BERLIN, Jan. 24.-Paul Morgan noted German vaudeville comedian, is going round these days puffed up with pride because Soviet Russia has entered into diplomatic relation with him.
 Morgan's chief pride used to be that he bore the name of Morgan But that has been supplanted by the fact that a secretary of the Russian Embassy here recently called on him with a request that he quit telling stories about his alleged experiences with Tchitcherin at Genoa.
 Morgan, who holds forth at a local cabaret, has been telling how, while dining with Tchitcherin at Genoa, he missed his watch. He thereupon, ac- cording to his tale, informed Tchit- cherin, who, eXcusing himself for minute, entered his secretary's room and emerged with the missing time piece.
 But he doesn't know how I got it, explained Tchitcherin, as quoted by Morgan.
 Whereupon the comedian made an expressive gesture that always brought down the house.
 The other night a tall pale, very much excited gentleman called on Morgan behind the scenes and, intro ducing himself as the Secretary of the Russian Embassy here, demanded that this islander on his chief cease at once.
 Morgan calmed him by telling him the story dates back to the days otl
