Doubleday, Doran & 20, It is obvious that Frederic Willlam Wile's editorial approach to the subject, embodied in the title of this book, & one of high zeal and deep enthuslasm Happily for the reader such mood is communicable one, delivering over o him the full substance of this remark- able survey. No wonder that the book produces amazement. For never with- in the long past and at no other point on the face of the earth is there evi- dence, nor logend even, of a perlod 50 achievement as to the A To have the whole matter | summarized and sct out as high ad- venture is enough to stir the imagina- | tion of even the most phlegmatic. is Romance,” says Mr. Wile. “Here is Truth stranger than Fiction. Here are Homers in recital of Odys- " ‘more wondrous than tales of myth and fable. Beyond a short introduction in ex- planation of the source and purpose of the study, Mr. Wile promptly marshals these modern Homers, 30 or more, each of whom contributes out of his own special equipment for the task some ! ingle aspect of the fabulous march of industry through the century now run- ning its course. The first of these pro- vides a broad outlook by Herbert Hoover upon the fundamental forces underlying the prodigious activities, so vital and diverse, that characterize the | industrial situation of the present and its immediate future. Quite naturally, the story of the soil leads the procession, Senator Capper is | the particular Homer of this saga of the | ploneer and the settler, of narrow sea- board farms widening out, mile upon mile, into the golden reaches of wheat and corn spanning the Middle West, | marching onward across the Rockies to meet the fruit soils of the Pacific Coast. | Within this hundred-year lap the farm- | in its multiform activities has| heen relieved by the rise of the factory. Today it differs but little from the complete equipment of the city house. Industrially, too, the farmer is emerg- ing from the individualism resulting from his earlier isolation. He is giving up some bits of himself for the sake of sharing the advantages of modern co- operation and organization. He is| waking up politically, waking up on | his own account rather than at the urge of agitator and demagogue. A great story, whose later chapters are| vet to be told. Romance? Mr. Wile is | right. Adventure? Of the highest and | most thrilling | Here is another one. This is the| story of lumber and the gigantic in- | dustry that has come out of the woods | to supply the multiplying needs of a ' swift-growing population. This is a tale | that is close to the story of the soil, a well from this next of kin, enlarge upon the theme of manufas tured products to suit the requirements of the day. Time was. you know, when the log cabin and firewood and the convenience of the forest as a weather shield pretty well summed the demands S0 to speak. to riew, the woods have moved on into a thousand ways of supplying the needs | of the day. | There are exactly 31 of these stories. | Each one should have deep attention, | by virtue of that which each possesses | for the information and pleasure of | any reader. Taken together, they provide a moving picture of the preoc- | cupation of the people of this country | with the ways of peace and with the purpose of a more general prasperit ways of lifting the general level many | degrees toward comfort and happiness and the pursuit of enduring things.

Also a discovery is re- corded in a book published in London 22 years prior to Cook's exploit, but ignored by the world. * ok ok x There is no written history of the is- lands prior to the discovery by Capt. Cook on January 18, 1778. So the cele- bration this week does not mark the exact week of discovery, but only the vear. As soon as Capt. Cook landed he was mistaken by the natives to be a rein- | carnation of tReir god Lono, and when, | a few weeks later, they became con- vinced that he was a mere man, they murdered him. From that display of superstition and savagery it has generally been assumed that the people of the Hawaiian Islands were savages with no trace of civiliza- | tion. Later study of their habits, their | manner of living and their traditions gives a very different picture of their status. It is now recognized that some- how their royal court upon the chief of the 12 islands., Hawali, was quite as splendid as that of the contemporaneous court of Napoleon Bonaparte. That was the royal court of Kamehameha I the Great—born either in 1736 or 1750 (the ear is in dispute) and died in 1819. Cook estimated the population of the | eight inhabited islands to total 346.000. * X X % Whence came the Hawalians? There are varying traditions. chief of which appears to be that they migrated from the Polynesian Islands, but other tra- ditions trace them to Central Asia. while others say they drifted westward from Megico, centuries before the dis- covery of America. Native tradition claims that they came “out of the dark- ness into light"—directly from the Creator. It is equally interesting to speculate as to the geological story of the islands, set so strategically in the midst of the Pacific Ocean. Some scientists declare | that there were, once upon a time, two continents in the midst of the Pacific which have disappeared. One of these | continents is now seen floating in the heavens as our moon, torn bodily out of the earth by centrifugal motion of our whirling globe and sent fiying into immeasurgble space until the centrifugal force was counterbalanced by mundane gravity and hung the balanced moon in its orbit forever. But the loosened or submerged con- tinent left high and dry the eight in- But here it | habited islands and four barren n"ks‘shnw(‘d 250,000 total called islands, all forming the Hawalian i group, which writers have described as | a paradise on earth. Mark Twain de- clared them “the loveliest fleet of lands that lies anchored in any ocean.” Robert Louis Stevenson owes some of his own fame to his enthusiasm over the Hawalian Islands. Lord Byron named a crescent bay which he loved especially “Byron Bay.” * ox o Capt. Cook named the islands Sand- wich Islands, not because sandwiches grew there any more than certain Chi- nese dishes were ever known in China. He named them in honor of his patron, * |the Ear! of Sandwich, but the name | was never officially recognized. and a more interesting name, the Hawaiian Islands, is derived from native lan- guage. though its true meaning has never been clearly interpreted T At the time of Cook's discovery the eight islands were ruled by several kings under a feudal system. In 1790 & nine-year war between feudal chiefs was ended by the overthrow and death in battle of the King of Hawail, and later his chief of two districts of that istand, Kamehameha, made war on two other chiefs, and was enabled to their first use in the islands, they having been given by two Englishmen. By the victories thus gained Kamehameha made him- self King, not only of Hawaii but of all the other islands of the group.
