Diamond Head, Uncle Sam's Lava
Fortress In Hawaii.
GIBRALTAR OF THE PACIFIC.

That Lovely Uland Vritbl Fir
Lin.d Wall of SUal, Behind Which
Crouchea "tha Lion f Hawaii."
Diamond Head, that monumental ele
vation uf lava which stand out so
prominently or the Uouolulu lde of
the lovely Island of Ouhu, Uawall la
the one and only original crater lu the
world which U being devoted to the
use of the army of a great power.
The Uland of Oahu 1 the key to the
Pacific, and Uncle Sam curries that
key on a chnln In his capacious pocket
At aDy time war break out Tncle
Sam's baud, which has not lost Its
cunning, will go to that pocket with
the swiftness of a western sheriff, and
the result will be a roar of gun which
will be heard around the world. The
roar will be contributed to by the gun
of Fort Ituger. which are at the base
of Diamond Head on the landward
side.
From Diamond Head, called by poet
"the Won of Hawaii." to Pearl Harbor,
named by newspaper writes "the Gib
raltar of the Pacific." there Is a chain
of forts which makes Oahu one of the
greatest fortresses In the world. When
In Honolulu the writer had the rleas
ore of working with Albert fierce
Taylor, who has been spoken of
"the recognized literary authority on
things pertaining to Tearl Harbor and
the defenses of Hawaii." He said on
one occasion:
"Cncle Sam has declared to the
world that be is on guard in the Pa
cific. At Pearl Harbor Is Fort Kame
hameha. with Its battery of twelve
inch guns; at the mouth of Honolulu
harbor will be a battery of small guns;
at Fort De Itossy. Walklki. a battery
of fourteen Inch guns, while at Dia
mond Head a battery of eight mortars
has been manned for some few years.
Within the extinct crater of Diamond
Head Gibraltar-like galleries bare
been constructed, and In one of them
an observatory has been established.
The fire control for all the Oahu coast
batteries baa been located In this gal
lery. Froj this station the fire of the
guns of all the forts can be directed by
the electric telegraph. The gnus of
Pearl Harbor cross those of Diamond
Head and with the batteries between
make a veritable wall of steel"
After inspecting the guns at Fort
Buger two of us. with a soldier guide,
walked to the entrance of the gallery
which has been bored through the lava
and sandstone which compose the
steep sides of the crater of Diamond
Head. A sentry barred the ay. The
permit was produced and proved tha
open sesame.
The heavy iron door at Cue entrance
to the volcanic passage was swung
back. and. with a soldier In front and
another In the rear, the Tisltors started
down the gallery. A single narrow
gauge track ran the entire length of
the passage. On this steel small trucks
bad been pushed by the soldiers, who
loaded and unloaded the debris which
army comrades bad dug from the walls
of the crater The ties were broken in
places, and the guide Issued a warning
to step carefully.
On first stepping into the gallery the
darkness, after the tropical sunlight
was of the kind that Milton described
as visible. Only a few steps had been
taken before the, light at the far end
of the gallery was easily seen.
Instead of the barren lava bowl,
"bard as flint and as smooth as glass.
as the picture man so picturesquely
puts It the Inside of the crater was
found to be grass covered, with trees
and bushes standing here and there,
which drew tbelr moisture from the
"liquid sunshine." as the Honolulu peo
ple charmingly describe the rain.
The guide pointed out the observa
tory high up on the Ewa side of the
crater from which officers direct the
shooting by the men who man the big
guns at the fort outside the crater.
Those men never see the target at
which they aim far out at ea- The
projectiles from the high powered guns
pass over the crater, and by telephone
from the observatory the men learn
wbptber they have made a hit or miss.
Tbey generally score a hit
In the event of a war Involving the
United States on the Pacific the crater
of Diamond nead may indeed prove
"the Lion of Hawaii" as Frances
Bent Dillingham, a Honolulu poet has
described It. and "if once stirred his
paw could sweep a navy to Its death
If once aroused his roar would soon
be beard across the sea and echoed
from the sky." Harold Sands In Los

-LITTLE THINGS."
She was a woman, a wife and moth
er, a housewife lu one of our large
cities, with everything seemingly to
make ber happy.
And she ran away!
She returned In a few day, however,
aud this Is what she said:
"If 1 were to tell you of all the lit
tle things that got on my nerves you
would laugh at me."
Perhaps.
But the laughter would be born of
the shallow thought that does not
probe below the surface of things. The
thinker does not laugh at the little
things, for life fs a bundle of little
things,, and the great affairs are fnr
apart
The little things are those that hurt
Many a man who could bear the am
putation of a limb without flinching,
knowing that his heroism and endur
ance were nnder surveillance, frets
and fumes over a cut finger.
So it is with the little cares of the
household. A woman will show the
heroic stuff of which most of ber sex
are made when great tribulations
come. When the angel of death pass
es over the housetop It is the mother
who Is the comforter. When lire dev
astates the home or serious illness
makes nursing and watchfulness a
dally and nightly necessity the burden
falls on mother or wife or sister.
It has been well said that the pil
grim mothers put up patiently with all
that the pilgrim fathers bore In the
bleak New tglnnd winters and with
the pilgrim fathers as well. The pio
neer mothers of the west were hero
ines. The little cm res of the housewife
wear down ner temper sometimes to
the needle edge. When Willie or Susie
Is hard to manage and the bread will
not rise and the sheets take delight In
refusing to lie straight, then comes the
time of trial and tribulation for the
woman.
Then perhaps ber tongue sharpens
Itself on her worries and her forehead
acquires new wrinkles.
Small wonder that she sometimes
gives way under the strain. The great
wonder Is that she does not yield more
often.
lA't's be patient with mother. Let's
do all we can to smooth away the
"little things" that are as a pebble in

AUTOMOBILE TRAFFIC HARD

ficuli and Short Lived,
Highway engineer long ago dlscov
ered that the ordinary macadam road
has no chance under automobile traf
fic. The best of them, well founded
and crowned and surfaced, hardly last
a season. "Spotty" repulrs are diffi
cult and short lived, and a highway
nine-tenths of whose Surface Is In govt
condition soon nas to be eutlreiy made
over because of the rulued one-tenth,
says the New York Evening Post The
various foiuis of surface bound mac
adamstarred, oiled, etc.-hsve given
better service than th plsm macad
ams, but they, too, are comparatively
short lived under heavy motor trafflc
aud similarly defective in requiring
complete renewal when but a small
part of tl road Is worn out
The result of this new situation Is
that the macadam road, which fur
nished a comimratlvely cheap and sat
isfactory highway for horse traffic, ha
become one of the most expensive
forms of road surface. The fact that
MM, ""J" c 4
MACADAM ROAD USED OM TXAJL
bnt a small part of the road surface
Is needed for motor trafflc (a highway
not much traveled could carry 09 per
cent of its traffic on two strip six
lu lies wide: w here there was nor
travel four strips would be necessary)
has led to the suggestion that the rail
way track principle lie applied In
building automobile highways. Ap
parently a test of this plan bns not
been made at least not on a scale suf
ficiently large to furnish conclusive In
formation as to Its practical value.
Such strips have been used on bridge
and niraut factories where heavy truck
loads have to lie moved.
Recently, however, the subject ha
been taken up In Kngland. and there
appears some probability that the
"hard road strip" will be given a thor.
ough test In the near future. A Brit
ish engineer, discussing the problem,
suggest the following possible bard
strip materials: Asphalt, wood pav
ing, metal plates, concrete blocks. The
most obvious difficulty to be overcome
!n thes strip roads is that of main
taining the proper relation between the
trips and the rest of the road surface.
There will always be a tendency for
the macadam to break along the edge
of any hard strip, and the problem of
keeping the surface in good condition
at these points will necessarily be a
dl (II cult one.

It is estimated that the amounts nut re

UNTIDY CUFFS.
Hint For Home Sewer Concerning
Ready Made Blouee.
If you buy a ready made blouse of
any kind you will probably find that
(ho ruffs have no fastenings. They are
generally made large enough lo slip
over (he hands and so large that they
bag nlsmt on the wrists aud look Very
loose aud untidy.
A thing of this kind Is bound to smll
the appearance of any blouse, so you
must alter It. of course. But there' no
need to spill (he ruff and make the
usual kind of fastening. You ran get
the same tidy look without wasting all
that time and trouble.
Sew nn two or three little buttons
down the outside of (he ruff, and (hen
work loops lo uiatc'i them a couple of
Inches further along, more or loss, ac
cording to the size of your wrist. The
loop should be made of silk or cotton
worked w ith buttonhole stitch
When the blouse l)a Is-eii put on
you Just fasten the Iik over the but
tons, and (hen the ruff I drawn up o
that It Ills your arm piile closely. A
fastening ofhls kind Is very neat nnd
ipiHe easy to manage.
Itcmcmhcr that yon must leave more
space between the buttons and loops
at the wrist than between the button
and loops higher up, for the wrist pail
will need to be tightened a little more
than (lie resl of tlie ruff.
