Work as Saver
of Dying Hawaii

Honolulu. June 10 CA. P. by Mail)-
The Hawaiians have right to the
good things of their islands and II
hope you will not let possession of
them slip from your hands, Repre-
sentative John Z. Raker Of Califor-
MIA, told the Hawaiian Civic Club
here recently.
after two weeks of studying your
territory I am wondering what is to
become of the Hawaiians", he con-
tinued. "a short time ago near the
immigration station saw ESQ men
and women from the Philippines,
and I am wondering whether they
are to take your places here, for ]
don't see Hawaiians using and own
ing the soil.
There is no need of one closing his
or her eyes to the conditions about
us. Unless the Hawaiians retain
possession of the lands, own and con-
troll them and work them. they are
not going to run this territory.
The effort that is being made to re-
habilitate the Hawaiian race on the
island of Molokai drew praise from
Representative Ralser.
IF you HawaiianS could develop
MolOkai it would renew your energy,
aspiration ard give new hope to your
young men,, he said. "You have the
right to some things which were the
heritage Of your fathers We Amer
leans, and you Hawaiians are Amer
leans, are getting farther away from
work and labor. Yet, unless educa-
ton leads youth back to the land, it
is vain"

Fear Never Causes
Airplane AccidentS-Nerves

London, June IA. p. by Mail)-
Fear is never responsible for air.
plane accidents, in the opinion of
Major H. Greame Anderson, consult
ing surgeon of the British Royal Air
Force. From the confessions of
pupils and his own experiences, DR..
Anderson said, he found that fear
never asserted itself in the first few
flights because the pupils were too
occupied.
The chief causes of accidents to
pilots, he explained were due to
nerve exhaustion, which might de-
yelop within even an hour after the
beginning of a flight. The pilot
then found himself unable to use his
mental facilities and frequently
came to grief on landing through in
ability to judge his speed and near
ness to the ground.
DR.. Anderson said that since the
British medical service reduced the
first practice flights from an hour to
ten minutes, accidents from exhaus-
ton had been considerably lessened.
They also insisted upon young pilots
having good n cal before flying,
even at three or four in the morning.
People who fly in commercial ma
chimes. the British expert advised,
should choose the back seat as being
considerably safer than. the front,
where there Is danger OF being
crushed by the engine in case of
trouble. He also suggested that
some method should be devised

MCGOWAN HOME
WRECKED WHEN
BOILER BURSTS

The bursting of q hot water boiler
at 2.30 yesterday morning wrecked
the home of E. f. MCGOWAN, Is Gill
man street. Mr.. and Mrs. MCGOWAN,
their son, Edwin and maid, Miss
Anna Bouchard were sleeping on the
second floor at the time and had mar
row escapes from injury, the shat
tered boiler tearing through the Sec
ond floor barely two feet from the
maids bed. Rudely awakened from
their sleep, the members of the Nc
Gowan household thought that an
earthquake had taken place. Mr.. Nc
Gowan hurriedly descended the stairs
and was greeted with almost COM
plete devastation of his home. The
lower floor was wrecked. Several
windows were broken, the east side
Of the house partially torn away and
the walls inside in ruins. Escaping
gas made it more difficult to find out
the trouble.
The house was originally one OF the
finest in the city. On the outside
there is little to show that an explos-
ion occurred except where the outside
wall was torn away.
The cause of the. accident Is
thought to be that one Of the family
left the gas burning under the boiler.
The loss is estimated at between
SIS, 900 and $4,000. Mr. MCGOWAN Is
assistant manager Of the Wyandotte
Wooden CO. Of this city.

900 Heat From Light
Lessons Film Fire Danger

Chicago, July 2-(By A. P. MaiD-
Removing 80 percent of the heat
from light-a long step toward the
scientists dream of "cold light
has been achieved by a device re-
Gently tested and approved by the
Underwriters Laboratories. Inc.
here for the Society of Visual Edu-
cation. -
The device Is an actinic ray filter
by its use it is possible to stop q
highly infiammable film and project
'still" pictures without setting fire to
the film. 49,
The filter utilizes an old principle
that certain materials will break
down the heat rays while allowing
light rays to pass through. A thin
film of gold is the substance used.
The filter consists of two small
glass discs, an inch and half in
diameter, coated on one side with a
spray of pure gold. and then ce-
mented together, with the coated
sides adjoining.
In use. the protector is so ar
ranged that the disc is held above
the projection aperture as long zas
the camera is running and the film
moving. Whenever the motor Is
stopped. or even slows up to a dan
gerous degree, the disc is automHti-
cally released and drops into place
between the light and the film. The
light shining through the gold has q
slight greenish cast, but not enough
to interfere with the projection OF
the still pictures.
At close examination the disc ap-
pears to be Opaque and looks like a
mirror with gold instead or q
silver back. 1t will reflect objects-a
readily as an ordinary mirror. When
held to the light, however, the sthin
gold film appears transparent.
Tests at the laboratory Of the
Underwriters showed the disc was 80
percent efficient. only one-tenth Of
the heat applied on one side being
recorded on the other, and that, a
strip of nitro-cellulose aim could be
left motionless in the camera in
definitely without danger of fire so
long as the filter was in place..-As
soon as the filter was raised the film
burst into flames in less than one
second
