1 KALAUPAPA, Island of Molakai,
T. II., May 12. 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."

On the Umatilla forest the total

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.

THE manager of a household is the purchasing agent
for a large proportion of the family needs. In order
to do a good job she must know what, when and where
to buy. She must study goods and the concerns which
make goods and have them to sell. She must put her home
on a business basis and run it on business principles in or
der to make the. most of the family income.
Information is the only basis for intelligent purchasing.
And the right way to get the greatest amount of neces
sary information is to read the advertisements.
Advertisements tell you what is new and good in merchan
dise. They j-eveal improvements and inventions that make
your home life easier, more comfortable and more conven
ient They give you information about a thousand and
one things that are useful and interesting.
Every manager of a household every member of a house
hold who shares the responsibility for the family's welfare
should make a practice of l-eading the advertisements
They are daily lessons in economy.
