D. recently sent a workmaiT a chemistry factory in the Middle West a $100,000 piece of paper wasn't 'worth a cent. 1 It represented a patent on a machine he had Invented two before. Factory officials estimated the invention would be worth Hoc, to them as soon as a patent was obtained. The workman rtsioned id self on Easy Street.

But he reckoned without delays at the patent od writes Edwin W. Teale. Wall Street felt better yesterday, some prices up, some bears "hurrying to cover." Nevertheless, the wise will not gamble. Some prices will go down and some bears will "come out of cover" and make foolish lambs wish they had kept their money. Invest, buy to keep securities that are sound, bringing in a good return and that you can pay for.

But still the Psalms are read Until the sun has reached a point Directly overhead. And then from off that golden beach Float sounds of mirth and Joy The thumping of the shark-skin drum And laughs of girl and boy. And soon quite all unconscious As the music goes and comes The foot of our good captain Keeps time with hula drums. He falters in his 'reading (But then his throat is dry) And he sits upon his erring foot (Indeed it is too spry). "Ah Ling," he cries, "come let us go For there are souls to save Ashore we go in greatest haste Just hear those heathen rave." So from the falls the Captain's gig Slaps down on ocean blue And Ah Ling pulls at ashen oars To save the Giory's crew.

Now almost to the beach they come When shoals arrest their speed 8 So cookie jumps from out the boat With floppy trousers kneed. -r In Sunday best the captain climbs Upon good Ah Ling's back And is carried onward to the beach Like some great bulky sack. But then alas an errant crab Clamps on to Ah Ling's tee Who drops his heaving burden With is pairing cries of woe. The godly Captain Ephram Then rises in his wrath And shakes the water from him i Liie a dog just from his bath. And swearing most profusely He raves and then he rants And plants a kick most squarely On Ah Ling's clinging pants.

Toward shore he hops adroitly As kicks rain thick and fast And cookie hopes so very much That each will be the last. A worm will turn and so Ah Ling At last did plaintive sigh "Why-kick-ee. Captain Ephram Why-kick-ee me, I cly." But although years have dropped since then Into the sea of time The praises of our Wai-ki-ki Are sung in every clime. B. D.

Days and nights were merry With New England far away For conscience can be silenced With oke and rum they say. Now in this fleet of whalers Riding anchored off the beach Was the good ship, Morning Glory Her captain Ephram Leach.

From Salem this brave captain With Bible In his hand Which was prisoned in his locker When out of sight of land. Came then a peaceful Sunday A day of blue and gold With trade winds blowing gently Over mountains ages old. While crested surf so graceful Rides rapid to the shore Where nodding wistful palm trees Wave aloha ever more. A day when dunning cares of life Overboard should go And with them went a hardy crew As shoreward they did row. Remained our Captain Ephram And the Chinese cook.

Ah Ling Who dreamed of lotus blossoms And tuneless songs did sing. Picture then our Captain Dressed up in Sunday best In pants of white end coat of blue A watch chain 'cross his rest. And at his feet so patient In pantaloons of black Sits cook Ah Ling, the ancient Whose queue slips down his back. Then Captain Leach so pompous In nasal down East tones Reads chapters from the Bible While Ah Ling stifles groans.

Submarines were not outlawed although there was pleasant talk about "humanizing them. Italy will build 22 more submarines, and 3 more powerful cruisers with no humanizing talk. Mussolini appreciates the beauty of peace talk and also appreciates the Importance of national safety. Twenty-two submarines will create more respect for Italy than twenty million speeches on International peace could create. Her Work Is Never Done Ideas have given birth to "Days," a day for thanks, a day or remembrance, a day for heroes, for poets, statesmen, martyrs, but no one day combines so many of the elements of all these ideas as Mother's Day.

The idea originated in Indianapolis, February 7, 1904. Frank E. Hering, a student at Notre Dame, invited to deliver an oration by the Eagles, a burst of oratory, traced all the goodness of men to mother love, all the advancement of civilization to the sacrifice of motherhood, all the hopes of the future to the influence of mothers. He urged that in every Eagle's lodge one day be set aside each year in which men should remember their mothers, and in that' memory lift themselves from sordid thought to higher planes of action. The Eagles caught at the idea and adopted, it, so that long before Mother's Day became a national institution, programs each year were held to honor the mothers of men.

Hering's idea formed the basis of Mother's Day. On that day surely man becomes one with nature, humbly and devoutly acknowledging the Motherhood of the universe. 'The American War Mothers, a few years ago, tracing the records, decided that Frank E. Hering was the "real father of Mother's The War Mothers, one of the few bodies chartered by Congress recently sent a committee to his home in South Bend to pin upon his breast their medal of honor, awarded to but three others, all from military life and among them General Charles Summerall. His is the only award to a civilian.

Mothers inspire, and men legislate at their insistence most, if not all, the societies of kindness, pity and solace old age pensions, schools for deaf, dumb and blind, sanitary crusades, and those for the protection of birds and animals. Every softening influence has its urge in the mother heart. Round her brow there winds a garland Of a thousand answered prayers, In her hand she bears the lilies Of a thousand lightened cares, Every tress that time has silvered By an angeFs kiss is blessed And her cheeks have burned their roses On the love fires in her breast. It is fitting that we celebrate Mother's Day with an exhibition of those virtues that crown her life forgiveness, gentleness, patience. faith and love.

And while the world's thought is turned upon the idea of a shorter day for labor it should consider a shorter day for Mothers, remembering the old couplet: Man's work is from sun to sun. But woman's work is never done. A lady of the east, wife of a very prosperous owner of Inherited money, has bought property in Nevada, convenient to Reno.

Romantic Story of Honolulan By FRED LOCKLEY In The Oregon Journal When I Interviewed ex-Governor Georgs R. Carter recentiy.at his home on Nuuanu avenue, he spoke cf going to school to Professor AT T. Atkinson who, at that time, was principal of the Fort Street School in Honolulu. Many of the pioneer residents of Honolulu whom I have interviewed have spoken of attending the old Historic Fort Street School when Professor Atkinson was principaL Just as Rev. George H.

Atkinson was an early educator in Portland and in Oregon, and prepared Oregon's first school laws, so Prof. A. T. Atkinson was one of Honolulu's early educators and had a great deal to do with forming the policies cf the Hawaiian Islands along educational lines. Prof.

Atkinson's name was Alatau Tamchiboulac Atkinson. His father, Thomas Witlam Atkinson, and his mother, whose maiden name was Lucie Finlay, were scientists and explorers. Prof. A. T.

Atkinkson was bom on the Kirgiz. steppes In Siberia in November, 1843. He was christened Alatau after the mountains in that immediate district, and he was given his middle name, Tamchiboulac, after an ice cold mountain spring near his birthplace. He graduated from Rugby School in England and later became master of Durham College. He came to Hawaii in 1353 to take charge of St.

Alban's College. Later he became principal of the Fort Street School and in 1881 he became editor of the Hawaiian Gazette. Six years later he was made Inspector General of the public school system of the Kingdom of Hawaii.

T. WATERMAN "Mo' fJicn nineteen thousand tons of pepper will be produced in Java this year" The AnvxTmsra. Somewhere in our calendar of celebrations we ought to say a word for pepper, for we owe to pepper, common black pepper, the original discovery of the American continents by Europeans under Christopher Columbus. Such notes as the one about pepper are really instructive. No one would imagine without looking into the matter that we use so much pepper.

Nineteen thousand tons of it seem enough to last the human race for a century, if not a miilenium. Yet that is the figure quoted for one island's production for one year. Pepper is like some other things we have, and take for granted; things like hydrant water, and soap, and matches, and fresh shirts, and newspapers. We think nothing of them until for some reason we suddenly can't get them. When that happens for any reason, the world seems completely upset.

You don't appreciate the convenience of a sink until the drain is stepped up, nor the marvellous qualities of gasoline until you let your tank go empty. A few generations ago pepper was one of the most desirable things on the face of the earth. Grub in those days must have been pretty tame and monotonous. The variety of our diet has become most astonishing, especially in the last generation, and we search the world for new flavors. The books say that the peasants in parts of France in the Middle Ages lived practically from one end of the year to the other on a diet of boiled chestnuts.

In any case, our predecessors were wild for pepper. The "spice" trade which Columbus wanted to tap by getting to the "Spice Islands" through the back door, so to speak, by sailing westward, was not so much the trade in cloves and cinnamon and the other fancy spices, as it was the trade in what seems to us to be the most ordinary of the condiments, plain black pepper. Black pepper really has a wonderful flavor and aroma, highly distinctive, very rare and desirable in the old days. The Romans are said to have paid the equivalent of fifteen hundred dollars a pound for it, and couldnt get it in any considerable quantities at that. It is curious, too, that pepper is chewed and drunk in addition to being sprinkled on scalloped oysters and other civilized dishes.

Hundreds cf myriads of human beings chew the leak of a pepper plant, the sp-called "betal" cf the Malayan countries, mixing it with the nut of a palm, and calcined lime. Here in Hawaii, unless the bocks lie, the "ava," the famous drink which seems to have disappeared from use, was, like the similar "kava" of Samoa, made from a plant-root allied botanically to the pepper. Man in all lands has always wanted to tickle his palate, tickle his nerve ends, and titillate his brain with bhang, tobacco or penny-ante or the red win-which biteth like an adder. No doubt from the strictly hygienic point view these things are all dissipations in one degree or another, and if strictly followed pure reason In diet we would eschew everything but bran-crackers and spinach, -and irrigate the process of ingesting these things with nothing stronger than hydrant-water, not too cold. Things work out in a curious way, however.

If our predecessors had not sent Columbus out for three ship-loads of spices and silks, perhaps the discovery of America would not have taken place yet. Thus history was altered in the effort merely to add to the spice of life.

Registration of Aliens Pending before Congress are three proposals for the registration of aliens. In the House, Congressmen Aswell and Cable have introduced bills providing for compulsory registration. In the Senate a bill for "voluntary" registration introduced by Senator Blease has been favorably reported by the Committee on Immigration. A similar bill passed the senate in the last congress, and fear that the Blease measure will become a law has led Dr. Al-vin Johnson and Bernard G.

Richards of New York, appearing as chairman and secretary of the "American committee opposed to alien registration" to launch a nation-wide educational campaign against it. Senator Blease's bill provides that an alien lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence may apply to the Commissioner General of Immigration and receive, for a fee of $3, a certificate of such admission. Such certificate would contain the photograph and signature of the alien and other identifying data and would be prima facie evidence of his lawful admission. 'So far, so good, argue its opponents, but the danger lies not in the bill itself but in the use that might be made of it. "Alien registration in any form and this is the fundamental reason against it would single out and set apart the very part of our population whom the country wishes to incorporate more completely in the life of the nation," they "Instead of encouraging their loyalty and affection for America and its institutions, it would retard assimilation and citizenship.

It is a proposal contrary to American ideals and traditions, dangerous to the liberties of all Americans and to the' harmony and best interests of the country." And those of us who hive had to deal with governmental authority, as it is represented by, say, a Mainland traffic cop, can readily conceive of the bullyragging that an innocent alien might be subjected to under the proposed law.
