Experiments are under way at the bureau of stan
lards at Washington to weigh the earth.
Write down the figure six. and place twenty one
cyphers after it. That's the approximate weight OF
the earth, six thousand million million million tons
The bureau of standards, however. hopes to get
a more accurate figure.
Pioneers upon the last frontier-the frontier Of
science-awat the result OF the work with eager
ness since a knowledge of the weight Of the earth
helps in solving many problems concerning the
structure and composition OF the earth's interior
The apparatus to be used at the bureau is ex-
tremely delicate.
What the bureau does is to measure the force
OF attraction which two large steel balls exert
two tiny gold
We know that the attraction exerted by the earth
is the force Of gravity Therefore the ratio of the
force of gravity to the force exerted by the steel
balls on the gold balls must be the same as the
ratio OF the weight Of the earth to that OF the steel
balls.
All that Is necessary, then, is to weigh the steel
balls and from that figure calculate the weight OF
the earth. 80

WHERE RACIAL LINES
ARE NOT DRAWN

A reception at "Washington
Place." the official residence Of Gov
ernor Harrington of Hawaii, to the
delegates to the Institute Of Pacific
Relations, presented sight such as
could be seen nowhere else in the
world, and rarely on such q scale
here.
The house, formerly the residence
Of Queen Lilioakalani during the 90
years from her deposition to her
death, and with long and cOnspic-
uous history in island life before
that, has been enlarged into spa
cious official residence. ample for
any social gathering.
But this gathering-American, Ha-
waiian, Chinese, japanese, Korean,
Filipino and British empire ladies
and gentlemen, most of the Orientals
que.
They were, Of course, most of
them persons of the highest standing
in their own countries, who would
be welcome guests in the finest
homes anywhere in the world: but
nowhere except in Hawaii could they
have been assembled in such num-
bers with SO little racial conscious
ness.
Hawaii was until recently the
world example of racial non-exclu-
siveness. Social lines, among per-
sons of equal standing otherwise,
practically'ig ignored race lines.
If that is no longer completely
the case, in all circles, at least it
could be so, unconsciously and un-
obtrusively, in a company like this
1t was not strange.
In fact, to one projecting himself
for the moment to the outsiders
view, the only thing strange about
it was its lack of strangeness

This Is section Is Of the state constitution. Its
language is definite
Whether the United States senate will seat an
appointee OF Governor Sore's depends wholly
upon the view its members would take OF the
right to make such an appointment. 1t probably
makes little matter whom Gov. Sore appoints, as
the vast majority of the United States senators
would be governed in their vote by what they
deemed to be the law in the

vision for the election of United States by
popular vote, but the state constitution has not
been changed; and if Mr.. Burke had the right to
appoint that time under the state constitution,
which is superior to Legislative enacments, many
prominent lawyers believe that specific authority
from the legislature would be unnecessary, and that
the requirements of the federal constitution
adequately met by the state constitution.

Whatever the legal niceties of the senatorial sit
nation are, it almost certain that Governor
Sorlie will not call special election. In view OF
the plain power of appointment conferred by the
state constitution in the governor, it would be a
most meticulOus United States senate that would
fail to seat Governor Sorlie's appointee.
state newspaper speaks definitely follows:
THE chief thing is that the senate will
not accept the appointee, whether Mr.. Bron-

or Mr.. Richardson the Governor himself,

ADVENTURE OF

have to hunt some more. One but

the Twins.
Just wait and III see," said Jug

SO he pushed the button that said

until the Twins could not see his
head or shoulders.
Then he pushed another button
that said shrink" and back he came
again.
ION one side is the Land of
Breezes. on the other side is the
Land of Keyholes," said he. (Which
shall it be?''
In the end he tossed penny to
save trouble. "Tails! 1t is the Land
of Keyholes. We shall 20 to the
Land Of Keyholes to find some of
Puff's lost buttons" said Juggle
Jump. He strobe away with jerky

Pretty soon they were in place
where even the bird cages were
locked up tight. The houses and the
stores and the movies, and even the
gas stations were locked with big
padlocks until the whole place
looked like Jail.

piece? ?" Juggle Jump asked lady
ut belonged to Puff, the Fairy
Queens cook, and he sneezed it off.
THAT is long distance away"
said the lady. II don't think it could
have come so far"
"Oh, yes, it could" said Juggle
Jump. "You DON'T know Puff. When
he sneezes the very mountains
shake. And he always sneezes when
he shakes pepper, and he shakes pep
gravy. And he makes soup and
gravy quite lot. Therefore, Puff
sneezes SO much that he has burst

coat won't stay together"
"Why don't they paddock him ~
asked the lady. "Padlocks are much
better than buttons"
ut wouldn't make any difference
said Juggle Jump. 1--WE should only
| be hunting the padlocks."
The lady went her way and they
went theirs.
Pretty soon they came to wash
ing out on line. Every piece was
fastened to the clothes line with
padlocks instead of clothespins.
Juggle Jump and the Twins looked
over each piece carefully, but al

tons and buttons, there were none

For the same reason it is not a

main in the stomach some time un-

becomes not only a breath but a
roaring wind.
Probably the outstanding sample
of this bunk is VIII Hays, not that

but his very position is Il throne of

To begin with, Hays is not the car

Not taking issue with Terriss as to
the merit Of his discoveries, the
fact remains that the players he

SUMMER BEST

Hawaii, like California, has sea-
son when it is at its best absolutely,
and another when it seems best by
contrast.
When you come in January out of
the frozen east into blooming Cali
fOrnia, the contrast is overwhelming
But to the resident, California is
then. not at its best, but at its
worst.
Merely, the difference between its
best and its worst is SO much less
than that Of the colder zones. But
if you would see California at its
absolute best, come when the east is
also at its best, or, perhaps a month
earlier.
The contrast is not so great, for
the east is blooming and beautiful
then. too; but. emitting comparisons,
California's beauty is then supreme.
So with Hawaii. The greatest
contrast is to come to this winter
less land from frozen northern
winter. But the time to see tropical
Hawaii at its uncompared best is in
the summer. when most Of America
is also tropical.
Just now, the ponciana regia is
blooming at its best-great trees,
all one mass of vivid scarlet-the
golden shower" and pink shower
wave their masses of bloom, the
hibiscus hedges, the fragrant plum
arias or frangipannis, and the many
colored croton plants are at their

humid heat and swarm with insect

They lack most or all the conven-

Not all the doors of the spice

overlook these features, the far trop-

But Hawaii, fortunately, exacts
none of these prices. 1t is civilized,
clean, comfortable-and tropical

he PROBABLY is one of our fore

important, he is the son of one of
England's greatest actors" On that
theory, John Coolidge should become

Tom would occupy such chairs.

Then Brenon introduced Betty
Bronson to the audience. He re-
ferred to her as having been chosen
"by myself and James Barrie" to
play Peter Pan on the screen. Which
is contradictory to the bunk sent
out in the name of Jesse Lasky,
Brenon's employer. In that mani
festo it was declared that Lasky had
chosen Betty Bronson for the part
and that Sir James NJ. Barrie had
concurred in the selection.
However, on Broadway and in the
movies, you may speak correctly only
by using BIG l and little you.

an error that should be corrected as
it no doubt was done Internationally.
