settled and prosperous countryside,
themselves always part of each and

md; Mrs. Emma Dixon, Marion, Iowa;

if she had so lived that friends wished
to offer such that instead this sum
be contributed to the Christian Home
Drphanage at Council Bluffs, Iowa, in
her memory.
In accordance with this wish sub
rtantial sum has been forwarded to

Mrs. Martha Bloom Hansen, the le-
gal wife, took the witness stand to
back the charges which she had made
to secure the warrant on which Han
SEN was arrested in New York City
several weeks ago, just eight days af-
ter he had married Kathlyn Riordan,
New York. shop girl. 1t is also al
legged that he married Reeva Goldberg
in Crownpoint, Indiana, in 1921, al
though these marriages did not fea-
ture in the case now being heard
against him.
"On the afternoon of September
9th, 1923, just before supper, he left
home, telling me he was going to the
barber shop and then to see his law
YER" said Mrs, Hansen, pretty little
woman, about twenty-five years of
age. That's all I saw of him until
last Tuesday when ! went to the Jail
with Mrs. Mcneil, the policewoman,
to talk to him."
"Did he Sleave you any money!" ask
ed Hansen's attorney in cross exam
nation.
"Not a cent"
"Did he write or telephone to you ?"
"No sir"
She stated that they had often had
trouble over money affairs during
their years Of married life.
There was no mention made of the
other wives" the QUESTIONABLE be-
ing entirely on the topic of desertion
and abandonment.
Jacob Saftig, poor commissioner,
also took the stand and told how he
had been called to the home and
found the wife and children in desti-
tute circumstances. He told how it
had been necessary for the city to ex-
tend help to them.
Meanwhile Hansen, faultlessly
groomed and we'll dressed, sat listen
ing to the proceedings. He did not
take hhe stand in his own defense.
Judge Slater after hearing the two
witnesses bound Hansen over for tri-
al, setting the bonds at $500.
The courtroom was crowded with
spectators, scores having been at
tracted to the trial.

Your Optic Camera

When you look through a magnify
ing glass or telescope you must focus
it by moving it around in some way.
This is done so that the lens in the
instrument will give a clear, distinct
image.
The most wonderful lens in the
world, the lens of the human eye, has
a different method of conveying sharp
images to you. This lens, instead of
moving back and forth, gets fatter and
simmer in order to make the image
clear.
When the lens catches the image 1t
is flashed through to sort of screen
in the retina of the eye and it touches
lot of nerve ends. The lens in the
eye actually turns the picture of OBJ
iects upside down when it throws them
on the screen of the retina The i'm
age is also very tiny. The brain turns
things right side up again and gives
them their true size, which we see
If either the eye or the brain gets dis
eased, people see many strange objects
which actually do not exist The
whole eye is built very much like
camera, only 1t is better piece of ma
chinery than the finest camera ever
made

Hawaiian Customs

Many of the old Hawaiian customs
are being discarded; but surf-riding
and surf-canoeing are as popular today
as ever they were.
Hawaiian serenaders often wander
down the beaches and street, playing
and singing in the inimitable Hawaiian
way. Tileaving, or toboganning down
grassy slopes on slick leaves is anoth-
er thoroughly Hawaiian custom. Lu-
as, or Hawaiian feasts and hukilaus,
or pulling in the great fish nets, are
often arranged for the edification of
the visitors.
No prettier or more touching custom
may be witnessed than that of placing
leis, or wreaths of flowers, around the
necks of arriving or departing rel
atives or friends.
These are practically the only dis
tinctly Hawaiian customs remaining in
general use today.-F. Nj. Halton in
Adventure Magazine.

Tunnel i'm Dispute

New Zealand has aroused contro-
versy by declaring that its new Otira
tunnel, which pierces the Southern
Alps of New Zealand for a distance of
five and onethird miles, is the longest
in the British empire.
Londoners retort that their Piccadil-
'ly tube runs for about eight miles,
from Baron's court to Finsbury park.
They also point out, further, that the
Central London railway stays under
ground for seven miles, between Liver
pool street station and Wood lane and
that the Bakerloo and Hampstead
tubes have continuous tunnels for
more than six miles
The most important tunnel in the
British isles is that beneath the River
Severn, joining Bristol with South
Wales. 1t is four miles long.-New

DROWNING ACCIDENTS.
First Aid Methods Should be Known
to ALL

The frequently recurring drowning
accidents should impress strongly
the need of widely diffused training
of people generally, and particularly
of young folks, both boys and girls,
in that line of first-aid work which
is of so great value in the saving of
the lives of the apparently drowned.
In very many ofsthese accidents,
others are present, and it is a shame
full incident when among them there
IS not one who can quickly and with
out hesitation place the body of the
victim in the correct position and be-
gin the work of artificial respiration
which is needed for the saving of the
life OF the apparently lifeless person.
Quick work is almost always worth
much more than the services of a
physician who comes five or ten or
fifteen minutes later.
Effective life-saving work of this
kind may often be done by bows or
girls of twelve or fifteen years of age
if they have had little practical
training. A very few lessons of fif-
teen or twenty minutes each suffices
How to train children or older
persons in the work of the restora-
ton of the drowned may be learned
by any intelligent person by reading
carefully Leallet No. 10, published
and distributed by the State Depart
ment of Health. This leafiet teaches
the Schaefer, the prone pressure
method, recognized as the most eff
fective. This leahet has been widely
distributed to the teachers in the
public schools of Maine. The de-
partment would be very glad to send
1t to any person who may wish to use
it. 1t should be used in every school
and summer camp, and in every
home the children should be taught
how to apply this method.
