 A MOTHER star in the American A flag, the 18th, became a pos- sibility as Congress approached the question of admitting Hawaii to full statehood. The case is this:
 Hawaii contends that her pop- ulation of 380,000 is three or four times the average number re- Quired for statehood m the past; that 1t pays more money into the federal treasury than some of the states themselves; that Hawaiian purchases in the United States are greater than those of Russia. China, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico or Cuba; that the insular govern ment is highly progressive and that the percentage of literacy is equal to that of Massachusetts.
 Chief opposition to statehood for Hawaii is the racial question. Since vast portion of the popu- lation is Asiatic or of Asiatic ori- gin, it is contended in some quar- ters that these people might con- ceivabIy elect senators and con- gressmen from their own ranks. Still another argument is national defense, opponents arguing that administration of statehood might hinder the army and navy in their island operations.
 The United States issued special Hawaiian stamps in 1928, sur- charging the regular 2 and 5-cent stamps of the l922-23 series in connection with the sesqui-cen- tennial of the islands.

 That was sweet of you" she raised on tiptoe to brush his cheek with her lips. we don't have much time together, do we? We'll talk about it tomorrow. We'll plan things differently. See what we should do about it."
 He was not convinced by her words; they were ones she had often voiced lately, too; ones with which she put him off, as with her arms and lips.

You've got to promise me now, darling, this night of our an- niversary, that tomorrow we really will settle matters. Stop moving around, playing, entertaining or being entertained every waking second-practically every sleeping one! We'll settle tomorrow what we will do, where we shall live, about my own work again"
 of course, darling - if you wish" Connie said. Anything to put him of, what was another promise more or less? She did not see what there was to settle. They were happy, just as they were, having gorgeous time. If the first rosy glow of their love had been slightly dimmed, they still were very fond of each other, got along beautifully. Why shouldn't they go on as they were? Why should Bret persist in this wanting to settle down - talk about going back to work again?
 T mean real promise" he per- sisted now. That grim line had settled about his mouth. He still blocked the door.

 Sometimes wonder if I oughtn't to hurt you," he mur- mured. But he dropped his hands, stepped aside. He knew her prom ise had not meant anything - If we possibly can find time," she had said. He knew she would see that there would not be any time on the tomorrow, or the next, or the next.
 What was wrong with him? why did he allow Connie to pull him first this way and that? She had asked him if he was happy, if he was glad he had married her one year ago tonight. She had not noticed that he had not answered. He was not sure of the answer

RESEARCH FOR TOM SAWYERS

Research for David o. Selznick's "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" included the sending of photo graphic expedition from Hollywood to Mark Twain's homeland, the ter ritory adjacent to Hannibal, Mo, where Mark Twain spent his boy hood, and where there are many shrines to his memory. The old swimming holes, Mississippi River scenes and the buildings of which he wrote were photographed and surveyed for use as guide in mak- ing the picture.

 He knew now that he had mar ried Constance Corby, the richest girl in the world. He knew what it was beginning to do to him. He was caught in the same golden cage, his wings had been clipped. He had lost his freedom; his own independence. He was not the same man he had been.
 Or at least he would not be un- less he made Connie listen to him. She thought she could put him off again tomorrow, but she would find she was mistaken.
