of the attack they found white
sock, similar to those worn by
f1remen, filled with sand to make
crude blackjack.
This sand, police said, was
similar to sand found in a box
on the boat.
Lands was awake when police
arrived at the boat to notify him
of the attack on his wife, and ex-
planned he was making coffee. He
accompanied police to the hos
pital, then went to the scene of
the attack and was taken to the
Twelfth Precinct, where he told
detectives he had been on duty
all night.
Suspicious of his story, he was
taken to headquarters, where he
was questioned at length, and fl
nally admitted leaving the boat
and going out with his wife.

The battle of tn century
loomed last night on the distaff
side of Washington'S social-politi-
cal scene. Mrs. Alice Roosevelt
Longworth, according to the an
nouncement was deserting the
drawing rooms for the lecture
platform. 1t was forseen that her
opposition to New Deal policy
would bring her into open con-
flict with her cousin Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt, now lecturing on the
West Coast.
The scone and tea cup hitherto
devastating weapons in the
armory of Princess Alice" wife of
the former Republican Speaker of
the House Of Representatives
Nicholas Longworth, were pre-
sumably to be replaced by a
dazzling platform manner, and
the proper assortment OF gestures
to point with pride and view with

Hawaii
Sahara of the
South Seas
BY R. E. BELTON

When and whence came the
Hawaiians? Nobody knows. Some
writer's claim them to be the lost
tribes of Israel, for when the Is
lands were discovered by Captain
Cook more than a hundred years
ago, he found them practicing cir
cumcision as did the Jews, and they
had many similar religious GUS
toms. The Tahitians, Samoans,
Marois and Hawaiians are so near
" alike in physical appearance,
religious practices and affinities OF
language, that it is generally be-
heved they migrated there about
the same time. An exhaustive
study of the early civilization and
culture of the ancient Hawaiians
shows very conclusively that any
literature showing them to have
been barbarous and lecherous saw
ages, is another example Of the
prejudices of the early bigoted
white writer's, who as soon as they
saw any dark skinned people any
where on earth, grabbed their pens
and scrolls and wrote in capital
letters SAVAGES.

air you breathe charged with per
fumed, lowered covered mountains
you step ashore. If you have
friends expecting you they put
beautiful Leis (wreathS) around
your neck and kiss your cheek to
complete the ritual and you find
yourself officially ashore drunk
with an intoxication rarer than any
wine could ever produce for you
are remembering that for the first
time in your whole life you have
breathed the air of absolute FREE
dom.
AS you are whisked through the
city in modern automobiles you see
that even the heart of the city is
clustered with lush semi-tropical
foliage There is such a riot of
color and native beauty that de-
spite what you have heard of the
enchanting music of the land your
first wish is that you might be able
to turn your ears into eyes that
you may see twice as much of the
beauties which are there to feast
your eyes upon. You will be sad
" disillusioned if you expect to
see a large number of village huts
made of coconut leaves, or, of
matched reeds which we commonly
think of as grass shacks. If you
expect to see hundreds of women
with exposed breasts and wearing
grass skirts you will be sadly dis
appointed. If you expect to feast
your eyes and glut your soul on
Hula dancers who arouse the vul-
gar sensations you get from the
type you see on our vaudeville
stages, you will let yourself in for
a surprise. The Hula dances of
Hawaii are as sacred and beautiful
to them as our Spirituals are to US,
and once you've seen them in their
native setting they will be beauti-
full and sacred to you. So, Homo
lulu is as modern and Americanized
as St. Augustine, Fla. An observ-
ant traveller about the United
States remembers that when you
cross an imaginary line which sep
arates Pennsylvania from New
Jersey you'll be startled to note
the difference in the people. Their
stride, their native drawl, and in
many instances their dress. And
so, as Americanized as Honolulu
has become it is still so different
that it is hard to believe that you
are still under the same flag, a flag
which we all so truly love, but a
flag which gives every light
skinned non-English speaking for
eigner more tenderness and consid-
Grafton than it does the Negro, de-
spite the fact that we have conse-
Grated this American soil with our
very blood, and the tears of our
women and children have watered
unholy ground.

Eight Inhabited Islands

Far less is known about the land
than is known about the people.
Some have advanced the theory
that at one time the present Is
lands were a part of Asia and
South America. Then in a past
era some underground disturbance
caused thousands of square miles
to sink to the bottom of the ocean,
leaving the peaks of some huge
mountains protruding, thereby
forming what we now call the
South Sea Isles. We know that
these Islands are made of lava and
we will leave it to the Volcanolo-
gist to ultimately convince US
where the lava came from. The
group of Islands known as Hawaii
have eight islands which are in
habited. Beginning with the larg-
est of the group shall name them
in the order of their respective
sizes. Hawaii, Maui, Oahu, Kauai,
Molokai, Niihau, and Kahoolawa.
These islands are from fifteen to
$50 miles apart and all travel be-
tween them is by inter-Island
steamships and by planes. Homo
lulu (which means Fair Haven) is
the principal city, is about the size
of Duluth and has a population of
100000. Contrary to popular be-
lief this city is not located on the
Island of Hawaii, but is located on
the Island of Oahu which is the
third largest, and is no bigger than
st. Louis county in northern Min
nesota. On the big Island of
Hawaii is located the second larg-
est city in the territory with a pop
ulation of $4,000 and the name of
the city is Hilo. 1t is about the
size of Hopkins, MINI. Many peo-
pie think the Hawaiian Islands are
farther than the Philippines but
when you reach Hawaii you must
travel 4767 miles farther to reach
the Philippine Islands. The foul
largest industries in the territory
are as follows: sugar, pineapples
tourist and children. The eight is
lands have a total. population Of
100000 with 100000 children il
school, to say nothing of the few
thousand under school age.
Present Day Civilization
AS your ship glides into the port
of Honolulu you seem to awaken
from hypnotic dream, and realize
that at last you have come to a
land where it is always afternoon.
