N. uundifer. Washington, Aug. 20. When President Harding sent back mes sages by carrier pigeon' from the Mayflower recently, while on a cruise at. sea he indirectly brought to public knowledge one of the least known but most valuable or ganizations of the American navy Its pigeon service. Every service in the world at nresent is striving to perfect its pigeon messengers, naval fliers ne ing especially Interested in this development. At present, bow ever, it is safe to say that no service has gone further than the pigeon service of America's naval aviators. The "feathered aviators" of the American naval flying service are on constant active duty, and scarcely a month passes without some report of life saved or valu able machine saved from abandon ment or destruction. 80 valuable are these birds con sidered that there is a standing order that no naval seaplane or other flying machine leaves on a flight without pigeons. Only a short while ago a navy flier had to make a forced landing far down the Potomac river, below Wash ington. His motor was stoppeo Ind his only means of communi cating his plight was by pigeon messenger. Within a short while, however, after releasing his "8. 0, 8" spare parts were sent blm. The flier made his own repairs ami was able to resume flight, es caping what might have proved dangerous predicament otherwise Navv Pigeons Seagoing. In view of such work and the obvious need for such a service, a pigeon loft, filled with trained birds is now located every American naval air station every where in the world. There are "lofts" aboard both the navy's ocean-going airplane carriers, the Langley and the Wright, the for mer at Norfolk and the latter at Hobo ken. By tralneJ birds, from the navy's standpoint is meant not on ly that a bird can deliver a mes sage under ordinary conditions. Par from it. Navy pigeons have to be sea-going, capable of flying over wide stretches of heaving wa ters by night, In storm, or In any sort of emergency. In fact, most of their work is in emergencies, when conditions are Just the op posite from land flying. And, be Vause sea-flying Is contrary to llo hereditary traits and abilities of pigeons, navy birds have to be specially bred from nautical an cestors and trained for the sea It Is hoped under present planp to rear and train birds at sea. so that each ship will haw Its ovn birds, who can "spot" their home on the ocean though out of sight of land.

Marking a lone stride forward in the Aiiieri canUatlon of Orientals In Hawaii came the announcement from the territorial department of public Instruction today that out of a total of 665 applicants for certifi cates to teach In the "foreign language schools" 492 had suc cessfully passed the required ex amination in American history and national Ideals. The examl nation, intended to Insure the teaching of American Ideals to Oriental children in their own schools, was made compulsory by act of the territorial legislature at Its last session, at which time the total abolition of all schools con ducted In languages other than English was sought by certain groups. Of the 492 who earned passing marks 253 only were grtnted per manent basic licenses to teach, h remaining 39 securing only con dttlouel passing marks neceasl'ai ing reexamination. Jpanes. predominated among the success ful candidates, 23S of their num ber belug passed uncondltlcnally. The Koreans, with nine, and the Chinese with eight successful can didates, came, respectively, second and. third. Local educators express them selves as much pleased wi'h the result of the tests, as It is gener ally felt that through three and other compulsory examination In American subjects true Amerlcau lsation will be brought about through the alien teachers 1 heir selves, thus providing the solution tor what at one time loomed as a serious problem to the territory. Hawaii Home Of Hula-Hula Bars Bare-Legs Honolulu, Aug. 20. Hawaii, once famed as the land of the se ductive hula dance, shows Indi cations of being about to suffer 1 a severe reversal of form, of be coming absolutely Puritanical, in fact. A few weeks ago the territorial legislature of Hawaii debated with more or less gravity and decorum and finally passed the famous Bathing Suit bill, prohibiting the display of the human figure and nether limb or limbs on the streets of the residential district abutting on Walklkl beach. As if that were not enough, a resolution has now been placed be fore the Board of Supervisors of the city and county of Honolulu requesting that body to pass an or dinance prohibiting the exhibition of "racy" shows in any public place and providing suitable pen alties for infringement of the law. Every cloud lias Its stiver lining, however, and an Increasing ten dency on the part of fair bather to neglect to button their wraps when parading the streets in bath ing suit Is the bright Interior of this particular cloud. Perhaps, figure the optimists, they'll forget to censor the shows after they ban the rough ones if they do.

V; Gc luTi 3( Plague and Famine Grip All Russia Ghastly Scenes Enact ed In Greatest Catas trophe In History Nation In Agony Berlin, Aug. 18. Stories are reaching Berlin hourly of the great tragedy which has fallen on Russia. Some of these seem too ghastly for belief. Yet the many parts of the country from which they come and the same terrible details of famine, disease and death with which they are orowd ed indicate that Russia is looming up to the world's stage in greater catastrophe than ever before The mighty nation of a hundred and forty millions Is writhing In the death agonies of cholera, scur vy, hunger and typhus. Plague has rendered the streets of the principal cities like London's high ways during the terrible visitation of 1665. Politics, personalities and creeds are forgotten momentarily before the scourges. Marxist the ories are vanishing into thin air before nature's relentless on slaught. All the efforts of the so viet government are directed to ward the formation of committees of succor, many members of which are former bitter political oppon ents. History has no parallel to the disaster how overtaking the unhappy land. Great Crack in Earth The drought is taking Its toll of victims In the north. The earth In many places shows cracks twenty feet deep. Trees are devoid of leaves, and all wells and streams are dried up. Many villages have been wiped out by fire. Nearly all the cattle have been slaughtered for food, or died for want of water. The population is feasting on rot ten, sun-dried carcasses, collapsing immediately after from ptomaine poisoning. Whole towns are emi grating in thousands. Many of these unfortunates will never reach their destination, and hun dreds have already perished on the way. Those that are struggling on their tragic pllgi image are living on grass hay, tree bark, and plun dering wherever they can. Autopsies have revealed that the stomachs of the dead contained nothing but parched grass. In many casus the populations of towns and villages come out Into lanes to meet the refugees and massacre them for fear that they will plunder their own precious food stores. I'he cry for bread Is ringing from helpless mouths over countless thousands of square miles and there Is none to help. Sural off Is offering In vain ten horses and five head of cattle for each three pounds of flour. Kneel at Shrines The peasants are kneeling at wayside shrines before effigies of Christ, crying out: "There Is no health In us O Lord! Give me bread, O precious Savior! Ere we perish!" The Derevnskaya Biednota, the soviet organ, prints today a liBt of provinces in which famine and other scourges are killing one per son in three. These Include Mos cow, Petrograd, Archangel, White itussia, Smolensk, and the Crimea. There are reports that the soviet government Is preparing to trans port 1,200,000 peasants into Chi na. It Is estimated that 600,000 will never reach the journey's end une person In every 400 sufferers can be accommodated In the spe cial Hospitals which the soviet gov ernment has erected at Moscow and Petrograd.
