WHY PRINCESS WROTE
SONG FOR SPRINGTIME
HONONLULU,"May 17.-?TIp re
cent sale of a tract of beach land at
Maunawilt, on the windward side of
the Island of Oahu, haB recalled the
origin of a song thnt made known the
haunting music of these islands to
the rest of the world. I
It was at this wonderful beach that
the late Queen LUIuoknlani received
the Inspiration for Hawaii's best
known song, "Aloha Oe," or "Fare
well to Thee." She was then a prln-i
-ss, and visited Maunawili ranch
with a party from the Hawaiian
court. On the day of leaving all the
visitors were decked with garlands
of flowers. One of the men lingered
behind to say good-bye to a girl who
lived at the ranch. They walked
part down the beach; there was a
kiss, and the princess witnessed the
scene.
On the way back to Honolulu Lllou
knlnnl persistently hummed a tune
over and over again. She said a mel
ody was going throuch her head, and
she was seeking words for It. She
whs thinking of that leave-tnklnsr on
the white sands of Maunawili. Near
Honolulu the party rested, and the
princess sang bit of the melody. The
phrases in the chorus of "Aloha Oe,"
"one fond embrace." and "until we
meet again." had their basis In the
scene on the beicn.
At the palace the princess wrote
uown the notes and the words, and
the melody wtu. later arranged by
Henri Merger, master of the royal Ha
anan band.
The purchasers of the ranch prop
erty will n.u It off in residence lots.
KINGDOM OF THE S. C. S.
TO CROWN ITS RULERS
HKLCHADE. May 1 7. Elaborate
Preparations are being made both
here and at Zabreb. the Croatian
capitol. for the anointing and crown
in of King Alexander and Queen
Marie as king and queen of the
Kingdom of the- Serbs. Croats and
Slovenes, which will take place this
summer.
The monastery of C.itche Is being
restored for the purpose. The cere
mony will follow the Serbian prece
dents, but several features will be
adopted from the ancient ceremon
ial of the Croatian kings, before
Croatia been me an appendage of the
house of Hapsburg.
The foreign cuests at ttrt corona
tion will be a sharp reminder of the
changes In the royal families that
have occurred as a result of the
world war. Itut the house of Hohen
zollern will be represented through
the Slgmnringen branch, which la
reigning in Rumania. Queen Marie
of Serbia Is a daughter of Queen
Marie of Rumania.
One of the dethroned kings who
will attend the ceremony, on the
ground of relationship to Queen
Marie of Serbia, la ex King George
of (ireece. who Is married to Queen
Elizabeth. Thus the family of Marie
of Rumania, called the "Mother-in-Law"
of the Balkans, will be repre
sented at the ceremony by two
reigning and one deposed king.
A Ilalkan soverign who will not
take part In the festivities will be
ISorls, king of the Unitarians. It Is
extremely unlikely that Horis, relgn
fn.g over a defeated people, will be
asked to mingle with the conquer
ors, each of whom now holds terri
tory that belonged to Ilulgarla be
fore the war.
The event will be made all the
more notable because It will mark
the thousandth anniversary of the
first kingdom of Croatia.

New York Song Birds
Now Keep Jazz Hours
"In New Tork even the birds are so
phisticated." remarked a visitor from
out of town, according to the New
York Times. "If any one lives here
long enough be becomes stamped, as It
were, with the character of the city.
"In the hotel where I am stopping
one of the dining rooms has a variety
of song birds. It Is a pretty Idea, but
see how It works In New York. Up my
way the birds are the first awake In
the morning. The poets have bad a
lot to say about the habit and a moral
lesson bus been drawn, something
about getting the first worm.
"Now, In my hotel, one of the largest
and most fashionable -In town, the
birds slug all night. The music .sets
the pace. All evening and late Into the
night you hear their voices. The music
and the crowd are there until the small
hours of the morning, and sometimes
till nearly daylight, and the birds ac
commodate. Vhen the rauslc stops and
the crowd leaves the birds get to sleep.
"The dining room Is' not used until
shnnt three In the afternoon and the
birds sleep 'undisturbed. P-ut at the
Brst note of the Jan orchestra they all
bepin to pl up. In other words, tin
early bird hns been corrupted In New
York so that It sleeps every day till

Builds Miniature Rail
Line on Country Estate
W. Cecil Gage, retired broker, of
Fishklll, N. T., bas Just completed a
twc-mlle miniature railway system,
which he has constructed with hi
ewn hands entirely from odds and
ends found' lying about his estate.
The tracks and switches were
made from the floor beams and the
cars and locomotive from the parti
tions of dismantled farm buildings.
Ashes from the family furnace served
as ballast for the tracks. A gasoline
motor to run the locomotive and
wheels for locomotive and cars are
the only parts ot the system that are
not homemade.
Mr. Gage began constructing his lit
tle road five years ago In order to
supply himself with an easy way
of disposing of ashes. He has been
steadily adding to It since then until
now he has two miles of track, live
passenger cars, two flat cars, a freight
car, eight switches, four crossings
equipped with warning signs, a turn
table, a snow-plow and half a doxen
stations. At night and during severe
weather a long chicken house serves
as a "roundhouse" for the protection
of the rolling stock.
The road Is used to carry farm
products, firewood and similar mate
rials about the estate as well as to
take the children of Flshklll nnd the
surrounding, towns for Joyriding. Mr.
Gage estimates hi yearly mileage as
something above 10,000. The tiny
cars attain speed of 20 miles an hour
or "more on straight runs, and. al
though several thousand persona
have been rorrted as passengers,
there never has been an accident.

Drinking Toast Dates
Back to Pagan Times
Just as nutmeg, spices nnd so on are
still sometimes put Into such a drink
as "punch," so In the olden days a
common custom was to slip a mite of
toasted bread into a glass of ale with
the Idea that the taste was thereby
Improved. .And so It came about that
a drink was called a toast.
The custom of drinking to someone
really date from the old pugnn days
when sacrlliK-s used to be made to
the gods. Later on an offering of wine
was made Instead, its red color typi
fying the actual blood of the real
sacrifice. Later still men made their
offerings not to the gods but in honor
of a friend. So our ancestors would
drink a glass or toast In honor of
someone, and the person honored was
as often ns not culled a toast for short.

Stone-Age Men in Africa
Sir Harry Johnston tells of a tribe
In Venya, South Africa, who wander
among dense forest and gome-haunted
wilderness. "The trine, the Ando
robo, reproduces In a most striking
manner the life which we may suppose
to have been led by our far-away an
cestors In the earliest Stone Ages." lie
says. "They lead. In fact, very much the
life that the most primitive types of
man led in Great Britain and France In
the far back days of big animals, pos
sibly before the coming of the glacial
periods.
"They live entirely by the .chase,
often consuming the flesh of birds and
beasts uncooked. Though they com
mit considerable devastation umong
the game of the province, they are a
picturesque feature when encoun
tered." Detroit- News. -
Mystery in Turkey Name
Tradition hns It t hat the first turkey
was brought to England by one of Se
bastian Cubot's chief lieutenants. This
Is supported by the fact that William
Strickland, who accompunled Cabot
on several of his voyages, adopted a
turkey rampant as Ills crest on being
granted amis In 1!m1.
Exactly bow the turkey got his name
Is mystery. Some authorities sug
gest that the bird christened Itself by
constant reiteration of n sound that
resembles "turk-turk turk."
The bird's succulent meat was so
highly esteemed by Sixteenth century
churchmen, thut by Archbishop Cran
mers order, only "one dish of turkey
cocks" was permitted at feast and
banquets. Detroit New.
