THE MAUI NEWS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1913 "Literary" At Makawao On Saturday evening last the monthly "Literary" was given with great success nt the home of F. F. Baldwin in Makawao. Perfect weather conditions, an atmosphere cool anil nt ill, a cloud less sky brilliant with the light of the full moon, caused an unusual large attendance. At least 12.") automobiles from Wailuku, I'uu nene and the different localities of '.-villi nvn J'UP lit r enjoy the evening's entertainment. The program was of a musical nature. Mrs. C'hisholm Jones gave the story of and sang selections from the one act opera t'avelleiia Uiisticiina (Uu.-tic Chivalry) hy Mas cagni. Miss Mary Hoffman, the li;niist, playel instrumental parts from the same opera from to time. This was followed hy ''Songs From Every Land" S c o t c h , Italian, Irish and Spanish illus trated hy tahlcaux in which Miss Aniline von Tempsky took the parts of the Scotch lassie and the Irish maiden, and Miss Olive Lindsay appeared as the Italian peasant girl and the Spanish maid. After refreshments dancing was indulged in till a half-hour before midnight. tfovest IRotcs.

Contrary to popular belief, for est fires seldom travel more than 2 or 5 miles an hour. Even in ex treme cases it is questionable whether thev burn at a rate of more than 6 to 10 miles an hour. Uncle Sam's forest rangers re quire that permanent camp sites within the forests shall be kept in sanitary condition. The ubiquitous tin can must be buried, and waste paper burned when a camp is left. A 115-foot Lookout tower on the Sitgrcaves national forest, Ari zona, just constructed by forest officers, was built entirely of logs and without the use of hoisting machinery other than ropes and tackle blocks. Forest officers on the Payette national forest are using a com pressed air drill in road work on the forest. There is considerable rock work to do and the drill saves time and money in cutting grades on mountain roads. Baseball Players Attention!

Light burning of underbrush to remove forest litter had been prac ticed in India, with the idea that it improves conditions for teak jrrow ing. Xow after long investigations forest officials there say that the fires are harmful, that full fire pro tection must be extended everv where, and that to be really effect ive this protection must be continu ous. Recent statistics indicate a mark ed increase in exports of lumber from the United States to the Orient. More than a quarter of a million feet of American woods are reported as being used in Samoa, Hawaii and the Philippine Islands. Heretofore, it is said, raw mate rials have been made up into fin ished articles in the United States, almost without exception, and ex ported as such. With the discov ery by American manufacturers in the Philippines that they could im port United States woods and make them up with profit there, wood using factories were built. Pacific coast woods, in consequence, are in many cases taking: the place of the native woods with such pic turesque names as apitong-, teak, narra and yacal. Douglas fir, according to the in formation collected by the forest service, is the principal wood ex ported from this country. It is said to be the favorite wood among insular manufacturers for flooring, ceiling, siding, cornice, shelving, finish and boat work. Makers of furniture demand California red wood and sugar pine, southern quarter-sawed oak, eastern ash, sugar maple and western white pine. Four woods, principally conifers and oaks, go into the construction of boats for framing parts, masts, spars, interior trim, planking, boat crooks and tiller handles. Meat blocks are made from sugar maple. which with sycamore supplies the entire demand in the United States. Wagon felloes are made of white oak, and other parts of vehicles are manufactured from high grades of white ash and white oak. H)o Jflou COMMANDMENT. Ernest Thompson Seton has dis covered a Natural History of the Ten Commandments," and he so styled a lecture which he gave the other day. lie said that the ten great ordi nances were not arbitrary laws given to man, but fundamental aws of all creation, and he gave gave many illustrations to show that both wild and domesticated animals recognized those laws. He mentioned amusing instances n which he had noticed parents of many species of animals enjoining obedience on their offspring. There was, he said, a deep laid instinct in all animals that disobedience meant the end of a race. Morality was a law observed in most of the higher animals. Mono gamy in some of the best species of inimals was not confined to the mating period, but meant union for life. All wolves, for instance, unite for life, help each other to hunt, bring up the young, and, though the young might forget the parents, the latter never forget each other. The verdict of most hunters to day was that all the higher animals mate for life. All successful spe- ciei ore monogamous, and a mono gamous animal in battle will always beat the polygamous. The Cana dian wild goose carries its mono gamous habits to the extent that when it has lost its mate it will never seek another. SCHOOL 6BAT8. Dr. J. W. Sever, an English sur geon, urges that school desks should leave room enough for the knees, and should be low enough so that the elbow and forearm may rest comfortably on them without bend ing the back. The slope of the desk theoreti cally should be about 30 degrees, but as that is too steep an angle to allow books and papers to rest on it without sliding off, a compromise angle of from 12 degrees to 15 de grees has been selected. The seat should be no wider than the width of the hip, for wider seats predispose to slouchy atti tudes. It should be about two- thirds the length of the thigh. It may or may not slope very slightly backward, but this is of no great importance. Any great slope is dis tinctly bad. The height from the floor should be such as to allow the feet to rest equally and comfortably on the floor. A seat of too great breadth, as well as one of two great depth, compels bad postures. The seat should have a back which supports the lumbar spine when sitting, at work, as well as at rest. MUST NOT DRAG. The German Government is de termined that its city streets shall be clean, orderly and quiet. The paternal and absolute hierarchy has recently issued a ukase in the form of new regulations for the city of Berlin. The following are some of the most striking provisions: Women's dresses must be short enough not to drag, and so raise the dust or accumulate mud; umbrellas and sticks must not be swung or carried cross-wise; paper, remains of fruit, cigars and cigarettes must not be thrown into the street; persons must not walk more than three abreast, or stop on the pavement for any extended period; there must be no whistling, singing, shrieking, shouting or loud talking of any kind; windows must be closed when music is going on in side :f building, and carmen must not drive noisy loads of metal or other material through the streets. "Not In It" With Nat. Mr. Goodwin was playing poker at the Lambs club. After various raises be waa eventually called In one pot "Name your band, Nat," said Willie Collier. "I bave four queens," said Mr. Good win. "Wrong, Nat," said Mr. Collier. "You had four queens." Which pointed reference to his mat rimonial misadventures may have In spired this latest yarn, Bays the New York correspondent of the Cincinnati Times-Star. Mr. Goodwin was de tected gazing passionately Into the window of a florist's establishment when a friend came along the street The friend paused at Mr. Goodwin's elbow. "Wonderful American Beau ties In there, Nat," said the friend. "Uh, huh," said Mr. Goodwin. "I'm very fond of that flower," said the friend, "because I married an American beauty." "You haven't anything on me," said Nat, turning sourly away. "I married a cluster." Labouchere and tha Bible. One day a friend went into the office of London Truth and offered to bet La boucbere that he could name a book be bad not got in the place. On Inquiry this book was specified as the Bible. Labouchere offered to bet the man $50 that be bad this book, and then deftly turned the conversation, wrlUng mean time a note furtively to the clerk out side to go downstairs to the booksellers underneath and borrow a Bible. Later be returned to the subject of the bet and, calling the clerk in, bade him pro duce the book. He said afterward that be was afraid the boy hadn't cut the pages so as to prove it bad been in use some time. This enhanced the Joke, as no one in those days ever saw a Bible with the pages uncut ALOHA LODGE NO 3 KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.
