CHILDISH ANGUISH RESPONSIBLE
Childish chagrin almost cost a life
yesterday. Bat today the potion of
Iodine which 13-year-old Helen Burt
loff awallowed la an effort to destroy
' herself la not nearly so bitter .in the
light of experience, as the remorse
that surged through her girlish heart
a the fall realisation of her deed
1 stands before her in an Us nwfulnese.
And as the light of a new day burst
upon her this morning It brought with
It new hope that revealed the pers
pective of llfe'a highway stttl to be
trod, roseate or thorn-decked, as she
chooses to make ft.
For balked by parental opposition of
the fulfilment of her heart' desire
her soulful union to a young- Hawaiian
swam Helen wooed death. Her
heart enveloped In the darkened man
tle of melancholic hysteria, , little
Helen, sore stricken and her mind
wracked by anguish, could see no
light in the gloomy vista but that cur
cease which puts an end to all mortal
aches. ... " - -
Chldedby her mother and threaten
ed with a term In the girls' Industrial
school if she did not forget her em
bryonic love affair with a young Ha
waiian boy, Helen could see no other
; way out than by a fatal flose of iodine.
As the fond mother watched emer
gency hospital attendants yesterday
work, to sate her daughter r: life,
tears streamed from her eyes aa.ehe
' advanced the foregoing cause for the
attempted suicide. .'".'-.-.V
'- The girl and her S-year-old brother
' in the past had been given a twice-a-week
allowance of 20 cents to attend
moving picture shows. Early , this
' week the boy advised his mother not
to let Helen go to the picture shows

son, he told kis mother that his sister
was meeting a lt-year-old Hawaiian
boy on movie nights.
The airl confessed that this was
true, and said she wanted to get mar
ried. . She was told that she must not
think of getting married until she was
at least 17 rears old.
"It made me cry to know my little
baby wanted to leave me and get
married." the mother sadly exclaimed
yesterday. Then t threatened to
send her to the school, and told her
she could not go to the shows any
more.
For several days the girl went qui
etly about her household duties, but
yesterday morning before the motner
left for her work, she went to her and
affectionately embraced her. - Then
as the mother explains, she said:
"Excuse me. mamma, I will not see
him any more. I win not get married.".,-

v-Th mother went to her work with
a lighter heart, only to be startled at
noon by her ton rushing to her with
Lthe news that "Helen is dead."
Mrs. Burlloff hurried to her home
to find her daughter lying uncon-.
scions on the floor of the bedroom,
where she had fallen after taking a
large dose of Iodine. Finding that her
daughter was still alive, the mother
telephoned ' fbrthe ambulance and
then the fight for the girl's life be
gan .at the emergency hospital. The
girl recovered in a few hours and her
mother, was permitted to take her
home to again face the question of
whether life Is worth while if she has
to give up seeing both moving pic

Honolulu Painter to Join Battalion
of Artist Volunteers For Var Daty
(JOES TO FRANCE TO DO W
To Jem a battalion of young artista
of the country for eervice in Franee, Twlgg Smith, some of whose paint
ings are now on exhibition at the Pan-Pacific building, will Jeava Honolulu
within the next three waaka at his own expense. Ha is a New Zealander by
birth, but la a naturalized American citizen and will be with an American
unit,
The work of this battalion of art
ists wH be done alunz that stretch of
the front where the American troope
are located. Like the Battalion de
Camoufle of the French army, this
unit of men will devote their time to
painting conspicuous objects on the
general landscape like the country
around them in order that they may
not be discerned from the distance
and especially from above. Members
of the French artists' units have given
their time to painting the tops of au
tomobiles and houses in variegated
colors to protect them from the
enemy.
The work is dangerous and a num
ber of the men in the French unit
have been killed. They have been
supported by the government, btt the
American unit wfll go at the start on
its own money. Although he may not
be able to sell enough of his paint
ings to pay for his wsy to New York,
Mr. Smith expects to get there by
working his way across the ocean and
the continent
The Pan-Pacific Club haa turned
over its entire building to Mr. Smitn
and In the next three weeks his work
alone will be on exhibition and for
sale.
Mr. Smith was born in New Zea
land, but received Ms art education
in America, and for the last year or
so has been studying and painting Ha
waiian beauty spots. A number of
his canvasses are to b found In the
best private and semi-public galleries
of the territory.
He has been a. constant and some
what rapid worker for an artist
during hia stay in the islands, and
outside of the canvasses which have
been sold, there are still many of his
works of art which have never be
fore been placed on exhibition. These
will be arranged In. the Pan-Pacific
building and placed on sale at a sac
rifice price.
At present D. Howard Hitchcock,
Twlgg Smith, E. W. Christmas, Lio
nel Walden and Gordon Usborne have
their exhibits In the Pan-Pacific
building, but the whole, gallery will
be turned over to Mr. Smith on Mon
day, to enable him to make a splendid
display. The exhibition 'will open at
10 o'clock In the morning, and will
remain so day and night for a week.

Judging from a letter received today
by J. H. Bowman and dated on board
the liner BalUc, June 5, 1917.
The ship had just entered the war
zone after a week and a day from
New York and had several days yet
before reaching England.
"I am. with what la known as the
First American Expeditionary Force
to Franee,. of which you will likely
hear more in case we reach France
safely, he writes.
: "You can hardly realize the extent
of the precaution they take In passing
through the danger zone. We are
due to several days and nights with
out clothes off and with everything
as dark as possible. However, if you
receive thla you many know we have
reached England safely and escaped
the U-boats."
Pattrlck'a address is ' With Ameri
can Expeditionary Force to France,
care of Surgeon General's' Office,
Washington, D. C" which means that
he la probably with the medical corps.

PRICE DOWN
With Arrival of 30 Sacks of
Potatoes From Valley Isle
50 Cent Cut is Made
Honolulu's market was replenished
today by the arrival from Maul of
a ton of shelled com and 30 sacks of
! potatoes, representing the Valley I
: land's first move to aid the local food
situation.
With the arrival ol the shipment
the price of potatoes dropped mater
ially, from U to 13.50 a sack. The
produce from Maui was received by
the territorial marketing division
which will sell it. either at wholesale
or retail, at market- prices. At
present the Honolulu market is flood
ed with potatoes, says Supt A. T.
Longley. A plentiful supply has been
received from California and more are
coming.
The present price of potatoes may
go even lower, Longley adds.
.Shelled corn of the type received
from Maui today is selling between
1 $72 and $75 a ton, and It is not likely
that the price will change materially
;ln the near future. The demand is
' good. As regards potatoea. however.
' the marketing division reports some
difficulty In getting rid of the supply
on hand.
Other shipments of produce from
Maul probably will reach Honolulu
regularly from now on. The plan of
the territorial food commission is to
have Maui send all surplus products
to this city.
