A spirit of happi ness, almost inconceivable, and a peace that passes tho bounds of hu mnn understanding, walk with tra gedy through the isolated, cliff guarded, surf-fringed strip of shore that has tgiven this portion of the Hawaiian archipelago the name of "the lonely leper isle of Molokai," the Associated Press correspondent1 found when he accompanied the ter ritorial legislature on a trip to the settlement recently. A vifitor to the colony, forewarn ed cf the horror it holds finds all of that horror and more than cannot be jdiscussed. But he finds also that the heavy fog of gloom which once en veloped the tragic, narrow stretch be tween the sea and the towerinjr cliffs, has been dissipated by a ray of lipfht i arising from the favorable result? Uhat havp attended the use of the Dean chuulmoogra cil specific during the past two years in checking the ' ravages of the oldest dii'ea. 'n the !wnild. The hope that springs eternal in the human breast is ever present now at Molokai, even in the inost advanced cases. The visitor finds faces smiling with n cheerfulness that has conquered af fliction, lie is greeted everywhere by a hearty, joyful 'Aloha," the all-embracing Hawaiian term of salutation, welcome and well-wiahing. The eager ness with which the inmates talk tc a visitor, and look for long hours (upori an un marred, strange face "from the outside," is pathetic, as is their naive, aimo.it child-like ques tioning as to whether the visitor may know friends of theirs on- "the out side" in Hilo, Honolulu, Wailuku, Lahaina. Many of the patients have taken i refuge in mui-ic the great solace of the Hawaiian race. They have or jganized a band and several singing jcluhs, which vie with each other at tsong-fests. The performance of one of these clubs a patients' male cc tette supplied a bit of Pathos that crops up frequently through the aura of peace. The patients were singing gaily a cheerful Hawaiian song of welccme to the legislators. They were succeeding admirably. Suddenly a mundolin 'playet young and ap parently a newcomer to the colony who had been gazing with longing into the unscarred faces of the visi tors began , weeping. Despite the tears that streamed down Mh cheeks, he continued, with bravery as fine as ever seen on any battlefield. To Bing the cheerful words of the song, he did his best to stimulate joy and keep the tears out of his voice. Sacred Words Set To Jazz Convert Heathen CllffWCIO. May 12. Itagtlme and "jazz" may be working to the detri ment of Young America but their syncopated strains are winning con wrts tc Christian ideals in Timbuc too, Tibet and Tnihiti, according t Paul Itader, evangelist and president of the Christian and Missionary Al liance, the internatioonal conference of which here May 15-23 will bring missionaries from all parts of the world. . "American jazz music is used by our more than 100 missionaries to at tract the attention of and assemble tke mo.t savage people in our fields to evangelistic services," Mr. Rader said. "Our missionaries curry ni arms, but through musicul instru nients and their voices raised in song and prayer ply their work of con verting the heathen. Sacred words are put to modern jazz songs, noble thoughts to popular tunes, and then sung with a spirit that attracts the black, yellow and brown faces. "All sorts of hymns are sung, but wo find that the rythm of ragtime tunes delights the simple mind of the savage, appeals to his tom-tom trained mind, and the first thing the missionary knows th wild man singing Christian words, learning white religious theology and presently is converted." land state CARELESSNESS .

On the Umatilla forest the total stand of timber ogKfeejates over four und a half billion feet. Of this amount felifrhtly over a billion and a half is yellow pine, over a billion is DouRla fir, while larch aKtrre jrntes slightly over 800,000,000 feet. Owing to the fact the forest ser vice hus but a small corps of men to protect the reserve it is necessary to rely much on public co-operation to keep down losses, Mr. Kuhns said. He urged each individual to look up on, the forest as his own property and to aid in conserving it. Talks on thB fire subject were also made by fire Chief Ringold and by A. C. Funk. Chief Ringold spoke chiefly of preventable fires in the city and asked people generally to "stop fires before they start.". Mi. Kunk advised strongly that those who construct new buildings consult the rating bureau so as to get maximum fire protection and the lowest in surance rates. He also stressed, the importance of keeping inventories of household furniture so that a show ing may be made in case of fire. hi i.iit i :n hold iu:i mo.v IlKitKKI.KV. Calif., May 12.
