Bones, Relics, Eyeless Fish
in Caves Under City.
Honolulu, Hawaii. — Discoveries
Just made by Fred J. Ohrt, super
intendent of the Honolulu 1 water bu
reau, and C. W. Wentworth, geol
ogist, reveal that Honolulu can ri
val Rome and Paris for its cata-
ccmbs, with pools of water in which
eyeless fish grope, and the skele
tons and relics of former genera
tions can be found.
. The discoveries of the vast sys
tem of tunnels and caves under
lying the entire city and extending
as far out as diamond Head was
made when efforts were undertaken
to find new sources of water supply
for the city. It previously had
been known that a few caves exist
ed under the city, but it was only
the recent investigations that devel
oped the fact that the ground under
neath the entire city is completely
hcneycombed with them and that
they extend out as far as Diamond
Head, three miles away.
* Once River Beds.
Unlike the catacombs o^ Paris
and Rome, most of those under
neath Honolulu are believed to have
been of natural origin, consisting of
former river beds, and of caves
formed by the sea thousands of
years ago, when the entire district
must have been submerged.
However, ample evidence has
been found that since then, during

long periods, the catacombs were
used for human habitation the same
as were those of Rome when they
yere occupied by Christians seek
ing refuge from martyrdom inflict
ed by Roman emperors.
In nearly all of the catacombs
pools of water and even flowing
streams are found filled with eye
less fish. Ample evidence exists in
the catacombs of the fact that they
had been inhabited in the distant
past. A few skeletons have been
found and also primitive household
articles, and piles of charred shells
of kukui nuts. The nuts were used
both for light and oil.
Haven for Fugitives.
Various explanations have been
put forward as to why the native
population hundreds of years ago
should have taken to these under
ground chambers. The most likely
seem to be that in tribal warfare
they offered a safe retreat. Another
is that there were in the past va
rious taboos, consisting of strict re
ligious and civic customs, for whose
violation death was the penalty, and
the catacombs offered a means of
escape for fugitives.
It has been impossible to ascer
tain whether the skeletons found in
the catacombs are those of persons
who died there or whether they %re
the bones of those taken there for
burial. It is known that one of the
ancient customs of the old Hawaii-
ans was preserving the bones of
those of high rank, and it is con
sidered possible that the catacombs
were regarded as the best place for
safekeeping.
From a geological point of view,
Wentworth said, the catacombs
probably were formed 20,000 years
ago by the slow trickling of water.

LEONARD A. BARRETT
“Oh. East Is East, and West Is West, and
never the twain shall meet.
Till Earth and Sky shall presently stand at
God's great Judgment Seat;
But there Is neither East nor West, Border,
nor Breed, nor Birth.
When two strong men stand face to face,
though they come from the ends of
the earth.’*
When shall our modern civiliza
tion be done with that philosophy
which says: You

comer, and me
in mine? Our hu
man progress de
pends upon mu
tual as well as
individual respon
sibilities. A trag
edy is sure to
arise if two
strong men never
"stand face to
face.” Yet this
tragedy is daily
enacted in our so

says to poverty, You stay in your

Poverty and ignorance also' volun

Poverty has its own, pride and con
cept of integrity which it has ac
quired at a great cost.
The "East and the West" must
meet if we are to fuse the strength
of both into p permanent strong
hold. Labor disputes can be solved
at a conference table of mutual re

standings cleared. It is the meet
ing together that is essential, if
East is to understand West. But
how shall they meet? What motive
will bring them together from the
ends of "their comers" in the
earth?
A national or world disaster will
do it. The catastrophe of the, re-.
cent flood came to people regard
less of their social or economic stat
us. The flood was no respector of
persons. The large buildings and
the little shacks felt the mighty'
rushing waters of rivers loosed from
human control. The power of the
ministry of the Red Cross at such
times is the power of a multitude
of human beings who answer the
need. The Near East Relief, aid to
sufferers in volcano-tom Japan or
flood-swept China emphasize the
meeting of men face to face in hours
of need. The depression has proved
itself a great leveler. Mutual help
fulness and human sympathy hither
to buried, are spontaneously ex
pressed. The struggles of life do
much to preserve its heritage and
strengthen the heroic elements of
character without which no nation
can endure.
The realisation of man's debt to

OU
By BETTY WELLS
yOU’D think we were all the most
1 domestic little wrens, to judge by
the way we’re being catered to by
the manufacturers of household
wares. And when you get down to
it, most of us are, for all our club
papers and charity bazaars. We’re
all aglow with the wonders of the
things that smooth a lady’s home
ward way. There’s been a house-
wares fashion show in New York
recently where all the latest gadg
ets and utensils took their bows.
Most of them are so new, they’re
qot for sale as yet, but they’ll be
appearing during the coming
months. Something to look forward
to:
We were particularly enchanted
with a broccoli steamer because
we’ve never been such a hot broc
coli cooker, but maybe we’ll im
prove with such a clever contrap
tion. A glass double boiler was
our next choice—glass skillets and
baking dishes we’d seer, before,
but there’s something about a dou
ble boiler that lures us doubly.
A sauce pan with markings inside
to indicate various measurements
struck us as a very good idea, and
there’s one new range with a Dutch
oven compartment right in it.
The nicest idea in traveling irons
was shown, a flat model less than
a half inch high but with the same
shape and size on the bottom as a
big iron . . and with just the
same amount of heat. The handle
folds down and the whole business
packs very compactly and with
much less weight to carry around
than the old type of smaller travel
ing iron that wouldn’t actually iron
half so well as> this one. Another
wardrobe device that we liked was
the new slide door utility moth
proof cabinet. The front section in
stead of opening out like a hinge
door rolls up and down lik. a roll
top desk.
For the cleaning fans, there are
lots of grand new things. Knee ac
tion carpet sweepers, for instance.
They’re streamlined and self-adjust
ing to any depth of rug pile or to
inf above and reaching beyond the
limit of one’s own little corner.
We are not only our brother’s
keeper but our brother’s debtor. In
a democracy there is a diversity of
personalities but one brotherhood.
Our likes and dislikes are not the
same but we all have the common
desire to be understood, to bo con
sidered worthy of counsel, to partici
pate In universal progress. The
things which separate us are
artificial : the things which unite
us are real. The things which sep
arate us belong to social caste: the
things which unite us belong to the
soul of society. Let us bury all
malice end cultivate human min
istry. Let us week the security of
human aspirations as well as hu
man alms. Let us not fear to aland
face to face with a weak man, for
our strength can make hini strong.

The Pie-Eating Judge of Vermont
Pie for breakfast, long a good old New England custom, is hesitat
ingly admitted to by New Englanders these days. Not so by Judge
Charles S. Dana of New Haven, Vt, however, former speaker of the
house of represenUtives and undisputed pie-eating champion of Vermont
He says he eats pie for breakfast, for dinner and for supper (which is
the way meals run in rural Vermont), or even between meals if the
spirit moves him, and he can name more than 100 different kinds of pie
which he has consumed. Judge Dana is seventy-four years of age atyj
his claim is that he has eaten pie at least once a day every day of his
life since he was a boy. Mrs. Dana is the expert behind the scene. She
makes them 100 different ways, and the judge eats them. As a result of
her skill, his reputation as a fancier of pies has spread throughout Ver
mont and even to Washington, from which city Representative Charles
A. Plumley of Vermont wrote him recently, that certain Washington!-
a ns, interested in pie-eating as a fine art, were thinking of inviting him
to the capital to explain how he heeene Vermont's
