Soot, REVIEW VOLUME 18 ST. JOHNS, PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1922. NUMBER 1 on i Where Men Aro Scarce A sunny coral sea in the South seas, far from the propeller churned paths of the ocean liners where lazy palms fringe the coral ntolls and the women, young mid beautiful, outnumber th men moro than fourteen to one, whurc 30 cents lasts n month; thi:i is the story told of Tagawa, nn islet of the Ellico group, by Captain J. A. T. Olson of the American schooner Ilcnriettc, Wrecked July 10 in those latitudes. The cap tain's talc runs as follows: "Tagawa is the only habitable island of the Ellicc group. Its population consists of 100 per sons, of whom only 12 arc men. Our schooner, the Ilcnriettc, was swung oft her course and onto Nukualili reef by heavy seas, which made it highly dangerous to attempt a landing in a lifeboat without n pilot. Wo Btruok at night and at dawn we tried for the shore, licforo we hit the cor al wo saw notivc aicn clad only I-.. !. ...... in loin ctoum punning an ouirig gor canoe into' the watcr.and with their assistance wo made the shore in safety. If it had not bocn for the natives wo probably would have lost our lives in the heavy surf. Our coming was hailed with joy by the natives, who pass their cxistenco in it ' state of isolation. Tho women outnumber tho men almost 10 to 1 and some of them are beautiful. Their ages range from 12 to 18 years and there arc only a few older. The chief of the tribe, a husky Samoan, turned over his grass hut 'pilaco' to tho mute and myself to bo used as our pri vato quarters during our stay on tho island. Ho also tendered me one of his daughters, a beautiful dark eyed girl with n lovely fig uro, as it servant. Other pretty girls were assigned to tho mate and to members of the erew to wait on them. Wo certainly did not lack for entertainment. I hud a great t'imo and would not have missed the experience for any amount 6f money. I had on ly 30 cents in my pocket when I landed, but money was no object. Muny dinners were given in our honor; native maidens In grass skirts performed hula .diuiccs for our amusement. All tho inhabi tants of the Island aro Christians and all lead upright lives. Wo had a hard timo getting away. Tho women wanted husbands and Picture Will Be Shown A three reel motion picture is to bo shown at St. Johns Chris tian church on Sunday, Scptcm her 3rd. The first duty of every American citizen is to respect Law and Order. Abraham Lin coin, when President, admonish cd the people never to violate in the least particular the laws of the country, and never to toler ate their violation by others. This is t lie spirit that must dominate if there is to be a wholesome re speet for Law and Order. "Safe guarding tho Nation" portrays in a vivid way the insidious forces which aro a blighting menace to the welfare of the nation. The pictures arc shown under the aus pices of the Anti-Saloon League as a part of its Educational Law hnforccmcnt Campaign. they pleaded with us and coaxed us to stay. Owing to tho isola tion of Tagawa, most of tho men of marriageable age have left it, some linvo gone to sea as sailors and others are scattered through out the southern ocean and as far away as Australia." Orcgon'inn. "Darling," ho asked, as he drew his beloved closer to him, "am I the only man you have ever loved! ' "William," she re plied, somewhat testily, "before we go any farther I would like to ask you a few questions You are aware that my father is a million aire, aren't you I" "Y-yes." "You understand, no doubt, that when he dies the wholo of his vast fortune will bo left to mcT" "Y-yes." "You know that I own half a million pounds' worth of property T' "Y-yes." "That my diamonds aro insured for fif ty thousand pounds t" "Y-yes." "Then, for godness sake talk sense! What difference would it make to you if 1 hud been kissed by n thousand men before I met you?" Ex. Two men lived side by side, and each owned a dog. Each day as one man went homo his dog would rush to meet him, joyful over the return of its master. Whenever tho other man entered his gate his dog would slink out of sight. Dogs are good judges of the true inwardness of a man. ROGERS' SOX Stand hard nox.

Food dealers may safeguard the public against unwholesome foods by making careful inspec tions of all lots received before they aro olVorod for sale, says the llurenu of Chemistry of the Tint ed States Department of Agricul ture. Although the food can ning industry is now so well de veloped that most of tho products put up in this way are safe and good, tho safety of the consumer may bo still further increased if the retailer keeps in mind the fol lowing suggestions: Inspect ev ery container when you open the case. No "swell," "springer." upper, or bright metal. Your customers aro entitled to tho same protec tion. Even a trace of a swell should prevent the sale of a can to any customer. No spoiled can should ever be reprocessed. Tho removal of every container show ing a sign of swell will go a long way toward preventing food poi soning. Rigorous withdrawal of all packs showing extensive spoilage is imperative. Iloutz dale Citizen. "leaker shouh be accepted or sold liy you.
