KEEP EYE OH HENS
Hawaiian Owners of Chickens
Are Sleeping Lightly.
Fearful That Mme. Pele, the Goddess
Who Lives in Kilauea Crater, Is
Eager for More Poultry to
1 Furnish Her Dinner.
Owners of coal-black game cocks in
Hawaii are keeping out an eye to see
that the chicken house is locked securely
every night.
And that's all because the volcano
of Kilauea is now the most active it
has been for 35 years.
Six months ago Kilauea was sputtering
away in its mile-wide bowl of
burning, molten rock, with the level of
the flaming crimson sea of boiling
lava 900 feet from the top of the crater.
The night that Secretary of the Navy
Daniels and his party paid Kilauea a
visit?the latter part of August?the
level of the seething lava lake was
-1 fAn
auouc uu iwi ueiuw uie u&ici ? ivp.
Several overflows already have occurred.
A cone which once jutted 500
feet above the crater's top has melted
away into the sea of fire. Two hours
after the secretary and his party left
the main crater and a second smaller
one, caved in, joining the craters.
And Kilauea still is going strong.
As to the connection of all this with
coal-black game cocks? Oh, that's very
simple.
Many years ago, when the islands
first were becoming a white man's
land, Kilauea became angry. It roared
and hissed and sputtered and the
ground shook. Then the lava overflowed
and moved slowly down the
mountain side toward Hilo.
The native Hawaiians had been
Christians but a comparatively short
time. Their fright knew no bounds,
for the island legends are full of the
tales of what Kilauea did when Mme.
Pele, the goddess who lived in
TTilo nao'e npotar ho/iflmo flntrrv

So the Hawalians prayed that the
flow might stop, l)bt it didn't.
Then they danced, but that was ineffective.
Finally, forgetting their Christianity
for a time, they sent a party by canoe
to Honolulu to consult a few remaining
priests of the days when they all'
worshiped the strange South sea
deities.
"Throw a black rooster into the lava
flow," was the advice they brought
back.
The sleekest, shiniest cock on the
island of Hawaii was picked for the
sacrifice, and while the maidens
danced, the warriors cast the squawking
bird into the base of the lava flow.
In an hou# the flow had stopped.
Mme. Pele, the most-feared goddess
of ttie island, evidently had been satisfied
with a chicken dinner.
American residents of the island believe
that if there is ever another big
lava flow, coal-black roosters will come
into demand once more.
A "No" That Made a Friend.
A business man went to two bankers.
He wished to borrow $2,000 from
one and $1,000 from the other. Lyman
Anson tells the story in the October
issue of System, the Magazine
of Business: The first banker loaned
him $2,000, but was so unpleasant
and condescending about it that the
business man went back to his office
with the thought, "I'll never have any
more dealings with that bank a% long
as I live." The second banker refused
the loan of $1,000, but he did it so
graciously and with so clear an exposition
of his reasons, that the business
man left as a booster for the
bank, and said to himself, "I'm going
to put my affairs in such shape that
there will be no earthly reason why
this man should ndt loan to me. I
want to do business with him." The
second banker had learned the art of
saying "No." It is a real art. You have
to practice it every day.
Automobile Does Chores.
Another way of making an automobile
do all the farm chores at a
small expense for gasoline has been
devised by Frank R. Weisgerber of
Salina, Kan. His invention is an attachment
comprising a frame with
a pulley at its forward end adapted to
project in front of the radiator of the
car; the frame has a coupling connecting
its shaft to the crankshaft of the
automobile, so that by starting up the
engine it is possible to operate the
threshing machine, saw wood, churn
the butter, turn the ice cream freezer,
cut the fodder, turn the grindstone,
operale Hie cream scparaiur, ui even
milk the cow if the farmer is equipped
with suitable milking apparatus.
Unrest.
j "Now," inquired the man of ponderous
manner, "what is the cause of all
this unrest?"
"Well," replied the man who always
tries to give some kind of an answer;
"I can't undertake to speak for anybody
except myself. Most of mine is
caused by a family of jazzmauiacs ih
the adjacent flat."
Only Wings^
"How do you know it was a stork
and not an aDgel that brought your
little brother?"
" 'Cause I heard pa complain about
the size of the bill, and I guess angels'
don't have bills."
Machine Washes Cars.
A machine has been invented to
warh the outside of railroad cars
as they pass through it.
FLA7 ROOFS FOR HOT LANDS
American Indian Deaert Dweller*
Knew Secret of Home Building We
Seem to Have Forgotten.
We dwelt with Colonel Roosevelt
tipon the historic and cultural value
of the ancient Indian towns of Arizona
which, had they been in Europe,
would doubtless have been preserved
unchanged as living records of successful
communistic forms of government,
whose social and ceremonial life offered
a study of the greatest possible
importance to our knowledge of mankind
as a whole. And we asked:
What right have we in "free America"
to stretch forth an autocratic
hand arbitrarily to change the village
... - , -L __ J ^,.1
1110 or rms ancieiu uuu pwucxui wmt
We spoke of the characteristic
architecture of the pueblos, by many
centuries the oldest inhabited towns in
America, whose flat-roofed, terraced
houses are not only in utter harmony
with natural surroundings, but constitute,
from a practical standpoint, the
most successful type of building for
desert cities. High above the sands,
the flat roof forms a porch for the
open-air Indian, whereon at certain
sea sons-he works, rests, receives his
guests, eats, and sleeps.
In North Africa, in Spain, in Asia
Minor, where climatic conditions are
similar to those in Hopi Land, the
same flat roof may be found. But we
think we know better! In a land of
burning sun, the slanting, hot, tin roofs
of the government dwellings clinging
in an inherited architecture of rainsoaked
central Europe, cut their incon
gruous outline against a rainless sky,
impotent in their longing to shed water!
And the sun streamed Into their
big European windows, inviting myriads
of flies, and forming a contrast
indeed to the shadowed cool of the
thick-walled Indian houses, whose
open fireplaces insured at all seasons
wholesome ventilation, In spite of
high, narrow windows.
And yet the white man's unpractical
transplanted house, brought from far
other climes, is urged upon the Indians
as "civilized." With no eye to either
beauty or fitness, our arbitrary standards
(rarely, in the Indians' case, put
to the test of experimentation first)
are forced upon a people who through
centuries of experience have learned
how to conquer conditions foreign to
us. Improvements there might certainly
be in the Indian's manner of life,
but why not along those lines which
nature has taught as most appropriate??Natalie
Curtis, in the Outlook.
The Attractive City.
In a word, then, so far as I am personally
concerned, you will not make
your city more attractive to me by
buildings, parks or monuments?what
other city has not these things? But
if you can show the heart that I know
Is In your breast, if you can forget to
look straight ahead in order to cast a
look of friendly interest on a passing
stranger, if you can cease to fear being
"done" and become inspired by the
desire once in a while to show that you
are a human being amidst your bricks
and stones, just to that extent will you
do your part in making your city attractive.

Removing Warts From the Face.
One of the difficult disfiguring
! things to get rid of is the eruption
of many small warts on the face,
i The British Medical Journal tells how
Dr. Charles Ind has succeeded in
eradicating them. He paints the warts
j three times in one day with a satuj
rated solution of salicylic acid in alj
cohol and the following morning he
cuts them off with a flat sharp steel

is painless, but it leaves a tiny
| bleeding point at the site of the wart.
! This he immediately paints again with
i the salicylic acid solution, which is
applied twice again the same day. On
i the second morning the sites of the
j warts have small brown scabs, which
| are bathed once a day with pure alj
cohol till they drop off, leaving a
healthy skin.
New Electric Lamp.
An electrical lamp has been developed
in Europe which virtually consists
of a metallic arc inside of a sealed
bulb containing attenuated helium
! and neon gases. The wire anod? terj
minates so closely to the edge of the
hemispherical iron cathode that the
current discharges across the gap
| spontaneously. The rays have an ori
ange hue and are only slightly actinic,
| making the lamp useful in photoi
graphic dark rooms. It is also recoml
mended for use in mines, and other
' places where inflammable gases may
be present, because breaking of the
bulb instantly extinguishes the light.
Its Advantage.
"The automobile has one bif advantage
over a horse."

"It can be tired without wanting to

Powerful Lens of English Make.
I The most powerful lens used in
1 aerial photography during the war, It
j Is said, was made in Birmingham, Eng!
land. It was 6^ inches in diameter
and had a focal length of 36 inches.
The power and clear definition of this
lens were such that when used in an
airplane it gave good visibility and
detailed information of what was happening
five miles below it. It is said
that the photographer could easily dei
tect the presence of barbed wire from
i a height of three miles, and movements
| of troops that had been effected under
! cover of darkness were likewise trace!
able by the experts. Birmingham manufacturers
have been so successful in
! making lenses that they believe they
i can compete with Germany, which has
I long had a monopoly of high-grade
i mntvnfflrtnres of that kind.
