TIDAL WAVES GRAND
 HAWAIIAN SPECTACLE

HONOLULU, Jan. Tidal wave. in most parts of the world are cata. clysms. In the Hawaiian Islands, how lever, they are regarded as specacles .of SurpaSsimg sublimity stage pieces !of d nature simultaneously to be feared and admired.
 Almost at the same time that the disastrous quake and resultant tidal wave were wreaking havoc in Chile Ia similar performance, without the tragic aftermath was being staged in the Pacific. some 6,000 miles to the northeast, on the Island of Ha- waii, at Hilo, the second largest city in the Hawaiian Island group.
 The nine tidal waves which swept over part of Hilo within three hours of each other were so accommodating IS to give most of the inhabitants plenty of time to get to elevated po sitiOns to enjoy the spectacles. Fur ther, the waves washed ashore i'm maAse quantities of fish, which the island children rsked wetting to col feet. Hawaiian children, native and islaud-born whites, are almost amphib- ious, so that mere tidal wave or so that no damage beyond smashing fleet of flimsy sampans and inun- dating Cocoanut Island, small piece of land in HiIo Bay, could not be ex- pected to hamper their activities in garnering a lucrative fish harvest.

LIPSTICK CASE IS CARRIED INTO
 HIGH COURT

KNOBEL. Ark, Jan. 1.-The fam ous 'lipstick' case of Miss Pearl Pugsley against the Knobel public school board of directors is due to come up for argument shortly i'll the Arkansas Supreme Court Pearl had violated the boards order against the use of cosmetics and she was told to either go wash her artificial complexion" or go home, She went home.
 The board explained that it's order :; banning face powder, short skirts and peek a boo waists in school was made because i've found it tended to distract the attention especially of the boys, in school
 Miss Pugsley, however, said she be lieyed in women's rights to use any thing on their faces that would make them Hook better and brought suit to force the school board to set aside the rule, that she might return to school and bring her powderpuff back with her.
 Judge w. w. Randy, in the Clay County Circuit Court, held the rule was unreasonable and unjust, that boys and girls alike might wear it without injury to anyone,' but did not grant the mandamus, on the ground that the testimony did not show the school board had ever sanctioned the action of Professor N. E. Hicks, school superintendent, in expelling Miss Pugsley.
 The case was appealed to the Su- preme Court, and the school board
 First, the board recently abandoned the two years high school course ill vogue at the school for more than three years. Lack of proper library and laboratory equipment is given as the cause for this action. Miss Pugsley was in her first year of high school when expelled, and even should she win the mandamus she could not return to school since the higher grades have been abandoned Second, the boards petition in the Supreme Court states the rule ban ming use of cosmetics has not been readopted and is not now in force.
 Miss Pugsley, the "Joan d'Arc' of the lipstick war, is now attending school at Corning, six miles north of here, where, she says, she is de termined to complete her education.
 Tt wasn't a desire to create trou- ble when the suit was brought she explained q merely felt that my toes were being trampled on, so to speak, and the Irish blood in me began to boil. I'm going to fight | the case to a finish in an effort to uphold the women's rights to use all reasonable means to look their best at all times
 "On his deathbed, my father want ed me to carry the case to the courts, and I'm going to do just
 what I think he would have wanted me to do"
 Miss Pugsley says she has re- ceived a half ton of letters, from thousands of admirers all over the country, who are asking her to con- .tinue the fight she is waging.
