Every day will be one long
bridge party, one long petting

It sounds like the Millennium

HalOaii-The Paradise of the Pacific

The Hawaiian Islands. Para

quently called, lies approx.
mately 2,5O0 miles from San
Francisco in the Pacific Ocean
and is a port of call for express
steamers to and from the
Orient. The group which Mark
Twain called ''the loveliest fleet
of islands that lies anchored in
any ocean" consists Of eight
habitable islands with q total
area Of 6.449 square miles.
Captain Cook, whose name is
irrevocably connected with the
islands, spoke of them as '"The
Rainbow Isles" There is a
haunting beauty, a something
indefinable which creepS over

makes one restless to return.

Another theory is that at one

exhibitions of prediction and
prophecy. From Mother Ship

conf. for example, we, might
enumerate scores and hundreds
of people who offered amazing
anticipations of the future. The
scientist and the imaginative
artist exhibit this power in its
fullest development. ..
They discern, din1ly or clearly,
the trend of human research
and discovery, and predict the
realization of the dreams OF
the creative spirit.
Half a century ago the minds
of children were intrigued with
what were regarded as the ce-
lightful fancieS of Jules Verne,
Captain Memo and his wonuer-
full undersea craft.
The Nautilus illustrated the
imaginative ingenuity of the
pseudo-scientist. Few people
attached any Importance to
these fantastic premonitions Of
the future.
Many of Verne's fancies have
long been turned into realities;
and even a trip to the moon
or to Mars is today regarded
as a possibility-nay, more
than a probability well within
the bounds of reasonably early
realization.
Submarine exploration holds
out one of the great scientific
opportunities Of the future. If

SECRETS OF

few-if, indeed, any-who are
entirely free from them.
If you examine yourself close
ly, if you carefully observe your
own reactions, you will find
that you harbor one or more
obSeSsionS. ..
Have you ever felt compelled
to add together the numbers on
an automobile license plate?
Have you ever tried to avoid
stepping on cracks in side
walks?
Have you ever found it diff
cult to control an impulse to
touch certain objects when
passing them. such as gates,
lamp-poSts, signs, ETC.?
Did you ever repeat the same
words over and over or is it
impossible for you to rid your
mind of a certain tune?
All these are samples of OBJ
sessions.
An obession is an impulse to
do a certain thing which you
know is rather folliSh.
People like that are uneasy
unless they wash the hands
many times, over and over
again. If they shake hands with
another they have the idea they

where there Is contact with

It related also that IL schools ad-

Cougar Mentor
Is "SandlOtter''

pasadena, Calf, December 81
L The sandlotter who made good
in the big leagues. That is
what they call Babe Hollingberry,
coach of the Washington State foot
ball team, that meets the Crimson
Tide of Alabama in the Rose Bowl
tomorrow. Babe HollingbeFry never
played much foot ball and never
went to college. But he is a coach
of champions, and his Washington
Cougars are the king pins of the Pa
cif1c Coast Conference.
HollingbeFfy began coaching foot
ball at the discriminating High
School in San Francisco about the
time California schools changed
from rugby to the American style of
play. He did not know much about
the American game, but he bought
couple Of books on coaching, and the
public began to pay some attention
to the young man.
Always q glutton for work and an
enthusiast on foot ball, Hollingberry
soon began to spread his talents over
a wider field. One year he coached
three different teams, and each of
them turned out to be a champion.
From 2 to 3 O'Clock in the afternoon
he would coach Potter, a private
school in San Francisco; from 8 to
he would work at discriminating
and then he would hustle over to
drill the Olympic team. His prep
teams won all of their games, and
the Olympic eleven handed CalifoF-
mia its first defeat in five seasons.
Five years ago Washington State
decided Hollingberry was quite q
fellow and drafted him to the Pull
man campus. Since Babe went to
Washington the Cougars have won
80 games, tied 2 and lost only Q.
During his time az Pullman the
Cougars never have lost a home
game.
