The homely little things of every
day.

Can mix my sweeping with bit CT

Forget to frown, be patient and for

long.
If can keep my whole life pure and
clean,
My outer body and my inmost soul,
Am honest, upright, friendly and sin
Keeping before me ever some high

Altho' it be in very small amount,
Somehow l feel it will not be in vain,
For sometimes it's the little things

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Recog-
milton of the right of American
citizens born in the territory of
Hawaii to pass without interference
from Hawaii to any other part Of
the United States win be- urged up
on the American Government, the
Governor of Hawaii declared in his
annual report made to the Secretary
of the Interior today.
There are thousands of Orientais
in Hawaii, who having been born
there are technically American
citizens, but who have not been
allowed in the past to migrate to-
the mainland Of the United States.
The bureau of Immigration has in
terpreted immigration legislation
enacted by Congress to bar the i'm
migration of Orientals born In
Hawaii to this country.
The Hawaiian Governors report
points out that this restraint Is re-
gsrded by American citizens or
Oriental ancestry as discrimination.
General health and industrial con-
ditions in Hawaii have been salts
factory throughout the year, the re-
port said. The two largest In
dustries- and pineapples--
have produced the largest crops on
record, and the productss have been
sold at fair prices.
The total trade between the Terri
tory of Hawaii and the mainland of
the United tSates amounted to
$17S,816,4s Hawaii sold products
in mainland markets amounting to
s109, 100000 and bought from the
mainland centers products valued at
s69,0O0,0O0. Hawaii's trade with
foreign countries amounted to
s10,575 ,2S9.

TELL STORY OF
INDIAN MASSACRE
Thought to Be Remains Of
Colony Settled In
1857.
BD United Press

BN United Press
JOHNSON CITY. Tenn, Jan. So
Eight hundred skeletons, believed to
be the remains OF a white colony
massacred by the Indians about 1890
have recently been discovered in q
cave near Benhams, Virginia
The discovery was made by S. G.
Dyer, scientist of Mohawk, Tenn.
who believes the colony were friends
of Virginia Dare, the first white
child in America.
The colony came from England
and landed on Roanoke Island, Vir-
ginia, July 22,. 1887, with John
White as governor. according to
history records. Virginia Dare was
born there. August 18, 1851
Governor White went back to
England to obtain supplies and on
his return in 1889 found Roanoke
Island abandoned. No trace of his
colony was found except the word
"Croatan" carved on q. tree. His
torians deducted from this that the
colonists were either massacred or,
during Whites absence, moved to
place called ''Croatan."
The skeletons, according to scien-
lists, are about four hundred years
old. They are according to the
Smithsonian Institute, the first
trace of the lost colony and the
length Of time the bones have been
in the cave and the date Of the col
ony's disappearance correspond very
closely, another fact lending authen-
ticity to seienti's belief.
Some scientists believe the Indians
herded the entire colony into the
cave and left them there to starve.
Souvenir hunters carried away so
many skulls soon after the discov-
cry that it has been impossible for
scientists to determine by measure
ments whether they are Of Mongol-
ian, Caucasian or Ethiopian races
There is a possibility, scientists say,
the skeletons might be those Of
Cherokee Indians.
The number of the skeletons COR
responds with the number OF mem
bers of the colony. according to rec-
ords In histories. a.
