Sullivan, of the New York museum of natural history, now at- 1 by : tached to the Bishop museum in Hon- olulu. Mr. Sullivan has just completed an- alysis of 14,569 marriages in the is- lands, selected at random, and his findings in some cases have been sur- prises to science.

FEDERAL OWNERSHIP IS NOT SOLUTION Hurley Says This Will Not Labor Problems—Co-operation Is the Answer. Atlantic City, April 29.—Govern- ment and municipal ownership will not solve the country’s public utilities problem, Edward N. Hurley, manufacturer and former head of the Shipping Board tod told delegates to the ninth annual cofivention of the U. 8 Chamber of Commerce. He advised public utilities compan- ies and the public to get together, ‘iron out their troubles and wipe out | any doubt or distrust that lingers.” Government eoperation in industr service,” said Mr. Hurley, “is a failure from a ‘service to the public’ standpoint. This is not only true America but it is a proven throughout the world. “I am convinced that it will be found that the lack of personal cfi- ciency under municipal or govern- mental industrial ownership spells fi- nancial fallure for the enterprise.” The American people that confidence in public utility secur- ities cannot be had by constant, un- 3 criticlsm,” Mr. Hurley said, add- ing that “no public utility corpora- tion subject to regulation can finance its requirements out of earnings.” Speaking of the electrical industry, Mr. Hurley said: “ Amerig trical development. At this moment the electrical industry is suffering from arrested &evelopment and the industry is awaiting the verdict of the American people.” HONOR HARYVARD HERO Body of Richard (;.

MEMBER OF COMMONS GIVES HIS MANSION { After Giving Away Property Worth $150,000, He Has to Live in Old Barn.

He has taken this action be- cause he believes that a anifesta- tion of the spirit of self-satrifice on [the part of public servants would avert any danger of a revolution in England.

To questioners, Mr. Hopkinson has | said his intention was to live the life of a simple working man and to help other as much as possible. In his own worshops. he has introduced a profit-sharing system that is with- out precedent inasmuch as the high- er the yield, the less he receives, and after & certain sum is reached, he is to receive nothing at all. During the war, Hopkinson was an officer. He was discharged as unfit, but rejoined as a private ON 10,000 MILE CRUISE Three Youths Plan to Sail 28-Foot Motor Boat From Ncw Rochelle to San Francisco.
