BILLBOARD VOTE
DUE in MARYLAND
Passage of Measure Seen
on Last Reading in Mary
land House.

| BY Stan Correspondent OF The star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 26.-No
serious obstacle to the prompt pas
sage by the House of Delegates Of the
bill to regulate and tax outdoor adj
vertising in Maryland was seen today
when the bill was expected to come
before the lower legislative branch for
vote.
The bill, with group of. modifying
by the Ways and Means Committee
Tuesday. The House accepted both
the measure and amendments without
dissenting vote at that time.
Efforts to defeat proposed legislation
usually occur when the committee re-
port is submitted, and the fact that
the signboard measure failed to meet
even a ripple of opposition at that crit
tcal stage leads its hackers to believe
it will have similar smooth sailing"
when its third reading is reached.
Few Bills Passed.
The ever-mounting number Of COM
mittee reports has occupied most of
the time of the House this week, al
most to the exclusion of the third
reading file. Yesterday, for example,
only three bills were passed. This con-
gested condition of the calendar may
serve to delay for a few days the pas
sage Of the billboard measure.
Those behind the bill, however, will
endeavor to have Speaker Francis A.
Michel bring it up for third reading
before the House adjourns today.
The Metzerott bill, making the ad-
verttser responsible for illegally placed
signs, which was also passed by the
toward final enactment today, reaching
the Senate at the opening of the ses-
sion and being referred to the Judicial
Proceedings Committee.
This bill, like the one to regulate and
tax signboards, met with no opposition
on the floor of the House.
Public Resentment Factor.
This lack Of opposition is attributed
to several factors, the chief being the
public resentment over the dissertation
OF expensive boulevards, which has
mounted steadily as roadside conditions
have become more and more intolerable
through tndiscriminate posting Of multi
colored signs.
Other factors believed to have won
the support of the majority of the
House members are the approaching
Maryland Tercentennial and Washing
ton Bicentennial, and the reasonable
and non-m1urious terms of the amended
bill.
Although some members expressed the
opinion that the amendments had I'M
necessarily weakened the bill, and said
they would have backed stronger
measure, those directly sponsoring the
Bill believe more stringent proposals
would have jeopardized its passage.
They also contend that all of the prin-
ciples sought, including supervision and
taxation OF all signs, are made possible
by the amended bill.
The chief amendment reduces the an
nual tax on individual signs from 8
Genus TO 70 cent per square foot year.

Pint of Blood Given
To Former Deputy
Injured in Blaze
CingeH Improves After
Policeman Gives Him
TRANSMISSION.

Nearly a pint Of blood, given by
Montgomery County Policeman Robert
Howes, was injected yesterday into the
veins of j. Stanley Gingell, former
deputy sheriff of Rockville. Gingell
was seriously burned in Poolesville q
week ago Friday when q can Of kero-
sene exploded, taking the life of Law
renee G. Clagett, teacher at the Ma
tional Training School for Boys.
Following the TRANSMISSION Gingell
rallied and his condition was improved
today. Emergency Hospital author
tiles were unable to say whether an
other TRANSMISSION would be necessary.
When a call for volunteers to give
blood was issued Tuesday, IL of Gingell's
friends responded, including Mont
gomery County policemen. Tests were
made of their blood and they are ready
to answer a summons to the hospital.

We didn't find time to go to the
Island Of Hawaii, where the large
volcano is, but we did go to the Gar
den Isle, Kauai. It is the oldest of
the group and just one night away
from Honolulu. We drove all day
around this island over many hibiscus
bordered roads. We saw Waimea
Canyon, similar to our Arizona Can
yon, the Barking Sands and the
Spouting Geyser. The foliage is much
more luxurious on this Island and
there are thousands of acres of pine
apples and sugar cane.
We spent three weeks in Hawaii
and enjoyed every minute of it. It
is hard to say goodbye to Honolulu.
We went down to the harbor to see
three different boats go out with
friends of day departing. It is diff
ficult to describe a steamer leaving;
it is all so beautiful. Every kind of
flower is made into a lei and Hawai-
ian women are lined up along the
dock selling them. Try to imagine
100 beautiful, fresh fragrant carna-
lions tied together and hung around
ones neck. Tuberoses, gardenias,
straw flowers, plumeria, lima, etc.,
all made into lovely leis. They also
make them of paper and seeds which
are lasting.
1t is custom that before the
steamer passes Diamond Head, one
must remove the leis from the neck
and cast them into the sea, where

mention David. Everyone roes TO see
David, the native Hawaiian, with the
beautiful teeth, who lives in a native
hut and eats native food. This con-
sists chiefly Of Poi (Hawaiian bread),
raw fish, rice and fruits. Poi is made
from the roots Of the taro plant and
is one of their chief foods. It's pre-
paration requires a great deal of
work, Of which the Hawaiians are not
very fond. In the early days when a
young man wanted to marry, the first
question asked by the girls father
was, us he a good Poi FOUNDER ?"
This root is boiled and then pounded
into soft starchy consistency. The
natives are very fond of it, but it was
not appetizing to us.
We found charming Japanese Tea
Gardens; ate chow mein at famous
Chinese restaurant; drank cocoanut
milk and ate delectable cocoanut ice
cream at the cocoanut hut. We visit
ed the Old Museum, the old Royal
Palace where Queen Liliuokulani, the
last ruler of the Islands lived. It is
now government building. The
House and Senate were holding ses-
sion in the beautiful throne rooms.
Queen Liliuokulani reigned from 1891
to 1898, then the monarchy gave
place to provisional government, lat
er to the Republic of Hawaii and
finally to the territory of Hawaii, U.
S. A. 1900.
We always tried to return each day
from our wandering in time to have
another dip in the ocean and a sun
bath on the beach. No matter when
one went in swimming there were al
ways people in the water and such
wonderful bathing. Some of our party
did surf-board riding. Dangerous, but
oh, what sport!
When evening came, although our
day had been full, there was always
something we just couldn't miss. The
hotels generally had some Hawaiian
Hula dancing, singing, movies or
amusement of some sort. We went
to Chinese play at the Chinese
Theatre (from to 11:30-a full eve
ning) and to Japanese movie, with
japanese actors and actresses.
If one were having a few friends in
to spend the evening in your own
cozy lanai, the Hawaiian boys with
their ukeleles would steal quietly up
and entertain you for about fifteen
with their soft beautiful
songs.
We saw Winona Love dance and
how graceful and beautiful the Hula
dance is when done by Hawaiians
and the Interpretation of the move
ments given. It is extremely grace
full and entirely different from the
idea of most people in the States. We
never got tired watching it and went
to all the entertainments we could.
The Hawaiian language has only
twelve letters, the five vowels and
seven consonants, h, k, !, m, n, p, W.
1t is not uncommon to see words
such as Kaaawa. However, the words
are very easily pronounced as very
words and syllable must end in
vowel. No two consonants occur with
out vowel between them and each

away from the pier and the band
plays that never to be forgotten song,
"Aloha-Oe," well-you're so happy
and still you want to cry.
The return voyage on the City OF

the going, only we could sit in our
deck chairs and dream of the lovely
visit we had in the Paradise Of the
Pacific.

that the Calusas made most Of their
implements of perishable wood. He
found a considerable number Of conch
shell axes and pick-axes, some OF
which may be of considerable value
in establishing a chronological sequence
for other Calusa remains. He also
found some pottery fragments in fair
state of preservation and some
pendants of fossil shark teeth, the
edges ground down so as to form
perfect triangles.
The skeletons, Stirling says, appear
to be of two types and may be expected
to yield valuable data when studied.
In the older sections of the mound
we're the long-headed massive skulls
believed typical of the Calusa, while In
the new sections these were mixed
with smaller. more rounded skulls
which indicate that there had been an
invasion from the North. Although the
Calusas evidently were people OF
considerable Importance, Stirling ex-
| planned, the only information to be
had concerning them must be
| obtained by the shovels of archeolo-
giStS in the swampy country which
| they inhabited. 1t is known that they
were Incorporating enemies Of the
Spaniards, which attitude may have
hastened their disappearance.

Stirling. who dug a trench completely
around the burial mound, found a
rather complicated arrangement. At
the bottom on one side he uncovered q
covered with layer Of hard, blue clay.
This, he says, appears to have been the
floor Of mortuary temple, which has
completely disappeared. The clay layer,
which made the mound water-t tight,
helped preserve the skeletons Among
the rare finds were the skeletons of two
infants. These, Stirling explained, all
most never are found in ancient burials.
because there is so little mineral matter
in child's bones that they fall to pieces
quickly.
In this section of the mound the
bodies apparently had been buried at
about the time of death since the bones
were arranged naturally in a fiexed
position. But In the course of genera
tions the people evidently outgrew this
tomb" and were forced to make ex-
tensions Finally, illustrating the
great amount of time that must have
elapsed, the. mortuary temple not only
disappeared, but was covered with
about seven feet Of other burials. The
whole structure is flatted-topped and
Stirling believes that a temple must
have surmounted the whole, although
no trace of It can be found.
Pottery and Axes Found.
In the later sections of the tomb
he found many bundle burials, f"
where the bones Of an individual would
be placed together neatly with the skull
on top. Such burials are evidence of
the removal of the bones from some
other place, Stirling says. Artifacts
throwing light on the culture of the
people were scarce. This is probably
