CARTER'S LITTLE LIVER PILLS correct CONSTIPATION CAN'T KILL AMERICAN, THE ITALIANS ASSERT Anirii.i.n Avia'.i Tr.lining ':imp, Southern 11 11 (by mailt. V. can't kill an Amcruan," is the dictum of tlie Italian of fivers training the several hundred yunK aviators who have li'en flying here since the **in! of September, when, liy arriinRomonl with the Italian government, this camp was established. Tile Americans have such a reputa tion !'r luclc that Italian soldiers come here so they may touch -me of the avi ators. "It brings us o"'i luck, too." they explain. The Americans fly l'rnm lno'nint un til night virtually every day. Not a single one has been killed and but throe have been injured at all seriously. One of the latter, on his third trip alone, Kt into an air situation which he did not understand, with the result that he stopped his motor whereupon the ma chine begun to plunge downwards un til its fall was checked by the tele graph wires of the railway station of the nearby city. Thence the machine dropped to the ground and was smashed. The aviator was picked up for dead, but in five days he was ready for another fly. The prize story of the camp concerns Harry Harris, of California, who got lost, first- in the clouds, and then in central Italy. He was a couple of hours going away and a whole week coming back to camp. As he afterwards ex plained, he went up for an altitude and When he got above the. clouds he was unable to dlseoved whether he was fly ing upside down or right side up, or •whether the earth was above or be low him. Finally, after grazing a few mountain tops of the Appenines, he lighted in the center of a village square, begging for something' to eat. As he couldn't speak Italian, his explanation that he was "Americano" didn't satisfy the lo cal police, who had never heard of American aviators in Italy, but had heard a lot about those of Austria who have the unpleasant habit of dropping bombs on coast towns along tin- Adri atic. However, he was fed and started eampwards, after a couple of days of detention. He had flown nearly 150 miles away from camp, and when he got hack there, he was accused of hav ing been on a visit to some sweetheart.

Hawaii's famous royal standards and robes of feathers made probably their last appearance in a public ceremony at the recent burial of ex-Queen Liliu okalani in Honolulu. The feather relics, regarded by the natives as sacred, are kept in the Bishop museum, founded in memory of Mrs. Charles R. Bishop, who was the Princess Hern ice Pauahi, last in direct line of the descendants of Kamehameha, a king whose name his people pronounced with accent on the second "meh." The most valuable of the feather pieces is, of course, the royal robe of Kamehameha the Great, for which the gatnering of the feathers alone is said to have taken 100 years and to have cost $1,000,000. This mantle was last worn by Kamehameha II. and later, on state occasions, was placcd over the throne. The feathers, yellow and scarlet, were found on the HO-called "manvo" and "oo" birds, species nesting in high, rocky places, so that their capture was at tended with danger to the climbers. But success meant so much honor that it became a favorite pursuit, and the bird* were fast being exterminated when Kamehameha I. made the killing of them a crime. He ordered but twe feathers annually to be removed from each bird. It is a popular belief of the Hawniians today that only two of the brilliant feathers were contained in a bird's plumage, the.se two being found under the wings, but authorities .say there were really lli. Hundreds of thousands of the birds must have been slaughtered to obtain the masses shown. In addition to many feather capes, there Were Hawaiian "leis" or wreathes and necklaces of the same gay colors, and "kahilis." or royal standards, re sembling giant feather dusters, dating from Kamphameha I. down to more re cent times. Queen Liliuokalani had a pure white "kahili" made for the peace ful funeral of the late Mrs. Bishop. Some of tho older ones had poles inlaid with tortoise shell or, more barbaricatly, with bits of leg and arm bones of kings and chiefs who fell in the battle of Nuuanu, when the conquering Kame hameha drove 3,000 resisting natives up the mountains and off a cliff overlook ing the ocean. The kahilis were made of large feath ers of many colors, wired in circles and attached to polished poles about 10 feet long. On a king's death, while the body lay in state, these kahili poles were set up around the bier during the watch kept by 20 chiefs of the Hawaii&ns, who chanted hymns written at the birth of the sovereign they mourned.
