1O-YR. OLD BOY OWNS
2O,OOO-ACRE RANCH
SMARTS HOLDING IN HAWAII
VALUED AT 100000. HIS
ALLOWANCE IS $4,000.

HONOLULU-The high cost OF
living is @ne thing that need not
cause much worry for the next year
to 10-year-old Richard Smart, who is
now on his annual visit to his domain,
the great Parker ranch of almost 200,-
600 acres on the Island of Hawaii.
On the petition of his grandmoth-
er and guardian, Mrs. Elizabeth
Knight, who was Mrs. John Parker
before her second marriage, Judge
John Desha, of honolulu, has just in
creased the youngsters annual allow
ance from $4,000 to $4,000.
How Allowance Is Divided
This sum is divided as follows
general maintenance, education, up
keep of automobile and employment
of nurse, governess and chauffeur,
$4,000 provision for annual gifts to
employees of the Parker ranch, $1,000;
special fund for his annual vacation in
Hawaii, $500.
Few American boys attaining their
majority will control the wealth that
lies in store and is piling up for young
Smart. He will be multi-milionaire,
with an annual income OF more than
100000 and the ownership OF the
ranch, one of the largest and finest in
the world, which is estimated to be
worth between $3,0O0000 and $5,OOO,-
600.
Resisted king Sugar"
The ranch has played a prominent
part in island history and was one OF
the few places in the territory which
did not pay homage to king Sugar.
In the early days of the huge estate
life was as wild and carefree as on
any cattle ranch in the mainland west.
The Hawaiian cowboys were consid--
cred of the finest in the world and
took many trophies and prizes at the
mainland rodeos.
Most of Richards time is spent up
on the mainland, chiefly on the Pacific
coast but his annual visit to the ranch
is marked by huge celebration, ro-
dec and barbecue, in which the coun-
tryside participates. 1t is at this time
that his gifts to his employees are dis
tributed.

EARLY MORNING
BATHERS SURPRISED
DISAPPEARED IN BIRTHDAY
SUITS WHEN WATCHMAN DIS
CHARGED SHOT GUN.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Lovers of aquat-
ic sports who have bucked against
the city ordinance calling for skirts
and sleeves to swimming regalia to-
day are singing the praises Of two in
trepid but unidentified masculine bath
ers who went in washing mot
swimming-early this morning in the
pool at Spiller's park, opposite the
ball park.
AS they were making progress, UNI
impaired by riament, they were sight
ed by the doughty night Waterman,
who had strict orders not to let any
one swim in the early morning
watches, particularly if they are
swimming raw"
His duty clearly outlined for him
he shouldered the shot gun he al
ways keeps handy for emergencies
and fired into the air in the hope OF
calling the bathers' attention to the
fact that they were out of order.
The shot had instantaneous effect.
Up, from the limpid waters rose the
ghost-like forms of two young men
who had been enjoying the utmost in
water comfort. The report of the gun
drove from their heads all thought OF
the fancy swimming strokes.
New Steam Record.
While they had been making SPLEEN
did speed in the water, the touch OF
dry earth to impatient feet proved an
inspiration and they cut wide gashes
in the shades of night as they sped
out Ponce de Leon avenue in the di-
rection of Stone Mountain.
Call Officers Hughes and Lowe,
responding to frantic call from the
night Waterman, found the entire out
fits of wearing apparel reposing on
the bank of the pool, and after a
short search behind bushes and hedge
rows along Pone de Leon avenue
left the washers" to their fate and
took the clothing to the police sta
ton
They may get their clothes back
if they CALL" Officer Lowe said. "But
unless they are more effectively drap-
ed than when last seen they may be
arrested on another charge"

up at hearing before the commission
in Washington in April, 1922, and the
hearing in Chicago on Monday was
to obtain a record on which the COM
mission might base its consideration
of the proposed plan.
1t is known that Mr.. Winburn does
not believe there is any probability OF
such consultations being effected at
any early date. II is the opinion that
where consultations do come about
it will be in a natural and voluntary
manner, and not by a forced or artih-
cial process against the will of the
parties most at interest. In discussing
these matters he mas said that most
of the plans proposed by the commits
sion seem to fail of approval either by
the carriers effected or by the public.
Railway men generally question if
arbitrary action by government
agency can best serve the public well
fare, and hold that although the pos
sibility presents an interesting field
for study and speculation, it is de-
velopnent of the remote future.
The commission, it is said, is not
attempting at this time to force con-
solidation, as that is not contemplated

PLAGUE OF LOCUSTS
INFEST KENTUCKY
STATE SUFFERING FROM IN
VASION OF EGYPT-LIKE IN
SECTS. TWO ARE DEAD.

Kentucky, like Egypt of old, is
suffering from a plague of locusts. The
insects have invaded every part OF the
state. Two deaths are attributed to
poison left by them. Automobiles
have been stopped by their huge
numbers.
Locusts Invade Cars.
James Kerr and Fred Meadows,
who were driving an automobile near
Lexington, were forced to stop sew
eral times to beat the insects out OF
the inside of their machine. After ar
irving at Lexington, the two men
found that there were about 100 10
Gusts stuck in the radiator of their
automobile.
Two little daughters of William
Murphy, of Lexington, died within
four hours OF each other. They had
been eating unwashed berries which,
it is believed, were poisoned by the
locusts. Three other children in the
family are seriously i'll.
Crop Damage Small.
No great damage to farm crops will
result from the invasion, experts de-
clare. The insects feed largely upon
twigs and roots of trees. Dead leaves
often are found after wholesale raids
by the locusts, but severe damage to
trees is rare.

lor, was sold today to R. H. Cunning

by the law but it is trying to find
out how the railroads ought to be
grouped to facilitate the movement OF
shops and terminals. For the present,
at. least, consolidation is optional with
the carriers.
Must Travel Long Road.
1t is generally believed in railway
circles that consolidation is just at the
beginning OF a long road that it must
travel before it becomes an actually.
Lengthy legal and financial processes
would have to be gone through with.
1t is pointed out that none of the
great railroad systems of today were
built through by single company,
but that they evolved through volun-
tary consolidation, brought about by
natural evolution. For instance, the
Central of Georgia, as now constitut-
ed, comprises twenty-five different
lines which were leased or absorbed.
The transportation act referred to
authorizes the Interstate Commerce
Commission to prepare and adoDt a
plan for the consolidation of the rail-
way properties of the United States
INTO a nlLnlSQ nuHlDcI Oh systems, re-
curing that such a plan shall preserve
competition and, so far as possible,
maintain the existing routes and chan
nels OF trade. The commission has
prepared tentative plan, grouping
the railways into nineteen systems,
and under this plan system twelve is
composed of the Illinois Central, the
Central of Georgia, the Seaboard Air
Line, the Tennessee Central and the
Gull and Ship Island.

CITIES WILL FIGHT
"AUTO SP00NING"
CONFRONTED WITH TASK OF
MAKING PASTIME SAFE. NO
"ONE-ARM" DRIVING.

Half score OF states and full two
score OF American cities are wrestling
with the problem of auto spooners'
or parked petting parties" according
to automobile associations.
The advent of spring with its light
1y turned fancies has brought the
problem sharply to the fore, and an
intensified effort is being made to de-
termine whether kissing ones sweet
heart in an automobile is a greater
crime than kissing her on a parl;
bench.
Several cities are inclined to classify
the crime of motor car spooning as an
obstruction to traffic, and the police
and judicial authorities of far-famed
Alexandra, Va, where George Wash
ington once roamed, are holding two
couples for spooning while driving.
Washington last year passed mo
parking,.no sparkling" rule for the ma
tional parkways within the limits OF
the District of Columbia. But the or
der raised such an outcry from the
lovers of the great out OF doors that
it was modified so that married cou-
pies could park.
1t was admittedly difficult to tell
just who were married and who were
not without some Identifying mark or
license tag on the machines, so the
order gradually fell into somewhat in
nocuous desuetude.
Pasadena, Cal, in an effort to deal
with the drivers more intent upon
making love than guiding cars with
proper safety, passed law last year
imposing heavy penalties for Zone
armed" driving.
The authorities of various cities in
Alabama, Maine, Massachusetts,, Ne
braska, Virginia and California ap-
parently are agreed that something
must be done to make darkened road
ways safe for all.

SAVANNAH, Ga.-Plans for the
consolidation of railways, which il
perfected, it is believed, will remove
from this city headquarters of one OF
its largest industries, are being work
ed out by the Interstate Commerce
Commission under the authority in
vested in it by the transportation act,
according to a story originating In
Chicago.
Under the proposed plans it is the
purpose to consolidate the Illinois
Central, the Seaboard Air Line, the
Tennessee Central and the Gulf and
Ship Island railroads, all into one or
ganization to be operated as the Hi
nois Central System. This will take
away from the Central of Georgia its
identity, and if the plan is ever car
ried into effect will mean the removal
of the head Offices of the Central of
Georgia to Chicago, where the main
offices of the Illinois Central are now
located.
On Monday, H. w. Stanley, presi-
dents of the Tennessee Central, pre-
scented at a hearing in Chicago before
examiners of the Interstate Commerce
Commission the statement of his road
in connection with the consolidation,
which it is said approved of the plan.
