tions" Of certain people who were
the subjects Of discussion. Upon
inquiry was told that "calabash
relations" are those whose ances-
tors dipped their poi out of the same
calabash. Which is to say that in
times perhaps not so very long past
these people subsisted mainly upon
poi, for many generations the prin-
cipal article of food for practically
all Hawaiians, and, being of the
same family, ate their fingers full
of poi out OF the same dish. The
persistence Of the phrase, now cur
rent long after the custom of eat
ing poi with the fingers has vir-
tually passed save in the most prim-
tive and the most "racialistic"
circles, indicates the native con-
servatism of the Hawaiians. It is
used today by people whose ances-
tors were all mainlanders and who
have never eaten poi.
The retention of these old usages
and the language of the past is one
Of the delightful aspects Of Hawaii
an society. And at the same time
the manner in which the younger
Hawaiians are adopting mainland
fashions and laying aside their ma
tive and ancestral customs is some
what saddening and disappointing
to the malihinis who come here
to visit them.
And yet, whatever the language
trend, whatever the costumes and
the customs and the foods Of the
people, Hawaii is altogether delight
full as a tourist resort" and it is
not surprising that the membership
OF the Hawaii Comeback Club" is
steadily increasing.

task. That Is one reason why in
some lines OF work the Japanese are
preferred to the Hawaiians. The ma
tlves are not precisely phlegmatic,
but they take things easy, and in the
long run they seem to do as much
as the more energetic and nervously
active adopted brothers from the
Asiatic shores.
The Hawaiians have a word for
"by-and-by" that is somewhat sug-
gestive of the Spanish "manana. I"
1t Is "kehaki manawa." It literally
means "some time" "Kehaki"
means "some," and "manawa"
means time" And there is a prob
lem for the philologists. Did man
ava" come from some stray Spanish
trespasser upon these Polynesian
shores? Or did some long-ago
ancestors of the Pacific peoples get
around Africa to Spain and leave
this linguistic egg as souvenir for
later Matching?
Judging from some of the litera-
ture which have read since COM
ing here regarding the origin Of
the Pacific island peoples such
clues are not without their valid
ity. Some very tall tales have
been told along this line. And the
remarkable thing about the matter
Is that they may be authentic. For
quite truly these are mysterious
islands.
A phrase which came to my ears
the other day in the course of con-
versation led to question and answer
bearing upon the nearness of old
manners and usages in Hawaii to
the present situation. Somebody

CONSTIPATION
SLOWING YOU up?
Road About LD-LAX,
New Baltic Crook Remedy
ADVERTISEMENT.

Battle Greek doctors have discovered that
. conshpated colon is not t''lazy"-but Sick;
that it can never work properly until nursed
back to health This startling find has opened
the way to an entirely new attack on consti-
patton. LD-LAX is Battle Creeks most re-
cent development, based on this discovery.
Instead of exerting harsh, pur gative effort
to force movement, like most old.time treat
ments, LD-LAA forms a soft, lubrica ating
bulkage which glides gently and naturally
through your colon. cleansing away waste
matter as it passes. 1t rests your colon from
the unnatural effort it has been forced to
make, relaxes it, and leaves the way clear for
continued, natural movement. Further,
LD-LAA nourishes the protective organisms
in your colon that combat poison. forming z
bacteria, thus reducing putrefaction-often
the basic cause of your headaches, gas-pains,
bad breath and general worn-out feeling.
Take LD-LAX regularly, every day, in a
glass of cool water. See for yourself how
pleasant tasting it is-and how thoroughly
it works. Remember that it has taken you
days or weeks to become constipated, so
don't expect a complete cure with the first
taste of LD.LAX. 1t will work thoroughly
and should give permanent relief.
The Battle Greek Food Company, of Bat.
tie Greek, Mich gan, produces a complete
line of diet corrective foods that will help you
to health-and help you maintain it. Ask
your dealer, or write to them direct, Dept.

which has grown to become a
Hydra-headed monster, for il
not only creates disturbances
between races, but has long been
a boogie-boo of the black race

Of the southland, by the light

ones. Such a practice was quite
prevalent for a long time in the
states of Louisiana, Mississippi,
Georgia and the Carolinas. Let's
kid this color question by first
cleaning house. ourselves.
Tenant farmers, evicted from
their homes to the number OF
about 400, and living in tents
and make-shifts shelters, are
low being cared for by the Red
Gross Society at Arkansas.
Theirs is a sad plight, and some
what similar to hat of the Dust
Bowl refugees who migrated to
California, but in the case of the
latter, they found a haven of
both protection and occupation,
in the San Joaquin Valley where
the Cotton farmers offered high

did southern planters, but the
evicted colored tenant farmers of
the southland are ~appreciative
of whatever help has been given
them, while the Dust Bowl e
fugees, have allowed labor agi-
tators to create unrest and dis
satisfaction. They have instituted
strikes and are demanding higher
pay from the peopls who receive
and succcred them. VIVA. is

Crackpot ideas parading under
the guiae of patriotism and
"Amreicanism" are more dan
gerous to democracy than allied
"isms," DR.. Dayton Hickman,
expert on public opinion at the
University of Omaha, said today.
"Many of our home grown
madcaps are real threats to
democracy because they are able
to appeal to people by manipula-
ting the familiar slogans and
symbols of American history and
tradition" the political scientist
declared.
"These perverted patriots try
to peddle hatreds and quackery
to the American people by flaunt-
ing the flag, distorting American
history, and invoking the names
of the Founding Fathers and
other national heroes.
They laud the Congtitsstion
but forget the Bill of Rights in
the Constitution guarantees to
every person freedom and to'e
ance regardless of race, creed or
COLOR"
The University of Omaha pro-
fessor assailed perverted pa
triots" who argue that the right
to vote should b restricted on the
basis of property or personal
qualifications.
"Such a proposal is well-suite1
to a Hitler, or a Stain, but it
violates the spirit OF American
democracy and is contrary to the
philosophers of Jefferson, Jack.
son, Lincoln and the other great
American democrats"
Other typical activities of the
lunatic fringe in the United
States according to DR.. Hickman,
are "Red-baiting," and witch
hunting; fomenting of race
hatreds; attacking the ~"interna-
tional financiers' who allegedly
are engaged in some nebulous
plot to subjugate the world;
advocating extravagant old-age
pension schemes wildcat econo-
mic panaceas and other so-ealled
remedies" for social ills.
