At that time we were in tracttng rather a low class district and were majy times driven from the streets, -s- ometimes by men and somet- imes by women and usually with threats of shooting or kicking if we ever returned. My companion ho ms much smaller than I, entered a small corner -- shop to leave a tract and was met by a big, Irishmari who picked him op bodily and threw him out of the shop.

For more than a year they have had curfew in Belfast and, of course, it includes everyone, with the exception of a few special cases. Ordinarily, it is at ten or eleven o'clock, but at one time it was at eight. When the trouble finally got so bad, the curfew was enforced in the country places also, and the farmers had to be in. their homes by eleven o'clock and were not allowed out in the morn-in- g before six. The Province of Ulster which 'is loyal to the King, comprises the six northern counties, and the Free State is made up of the remaining twenty-si- x counties. The Protestants predominate in the North and the Catholics in the South, but the religious fight centers mostly in and around Belfast. In the South, the Free States are fighting the Republicans, or irregulars, and in the North the Catholics are fighting the Protestants, but the big issue is between the North and the South. It is marvelous how much shooting there is in Belfast with so few casualties reported. I have heard hours of continuous machine gun fire and only a few deaths reported. The queer looking double deck tram, cars aTeaTl wired up so that bombs cannot be thrown through the windows. It must be remembered that the fighting in Belfast is only among the lower class of people, while the others of both parties are still on speaking terms. All the Irish ask i a fighting chance. "Thelma," a dramatization of Marie Corelll's famous story of the land of the midnight sun, will come to the Columbia, Monday. "Thelma" is a wholesome novel read by all nationalities and can be found among the books in the libraries of those who love good clean fiction. If you have read the book you will be surprised to find how well the story has been written into dramatic form and you will gee the characters apparently step from the book to act out the storv surrounded by the atmosphere or Norway and England. You will see the Echo cave, the rainbow of midnight sun, the death, and the burnine shin 1n which the old Viking makes his last sea voyage. The characters of the story have been placed into hands of an exceptionally strong company of artists who portray their respective parts true to life as the story goes and Richardson & Talbert. who are bringing "Thelma" to the Columbia tneater, have mounted the play with beautiful scenic and electrical effects and guarantee it to hp one of the best dramatic shows that will visit the local playhouse this season. Large crowds are srreetine this play everywhere and in order that you secure good seats it is advisable that you purchase your tickets, prices 25, 50 and 75 cents, in advance at the theater. 'By D. BYRON JONES. Returned Missionary to Hawaii. Citizens of Hawaii will tell you that the leper settlement of Kalau- papa, on the island of Molaki, is unbelievably beautiful (which it is) ; that no happier group of people can tie found anywhere than the lepers at the settlement; that their existence is compounded of movies, baseball games, and various other sports; that it is very difficult to induce any of them to leave thff' settlement, If they are fortunate enough to be paroled. That is all the truth, but If you talk to any of these said citizens, of a contemplated trip to the leper settlement, they think you have lost your power of reason. They don't like to think about leprosy; it is not a nice subject. The great majority of the lepers are Hawaiians, though there are some Chinese, some Portuguese, some Japanese, and a very few whites. - AH officials of every sort have, as a part of their regular duty, to report cases or suspected cases to the board of health. Many case's reported are, of course, not leprous, but the doubtful cases are taken to the leper restation near Honolulu, ceiving where they are kept for treatment for six months. If they are declared they are then returned to their homes; if the disease is clinically presen tthey are sent to Kalaupapa owing to the wonderful discovery of a "cure" for leprosy. This discovery is a certain kind of oil for the purpose of anointing the: afflicted parts of the body, if leprosy is treated in its first stages George A. Startup, who over a year ago carried the, widowed mother's pension law to the supreme court, and obtained a favorable decision on all points of law, when adsed if he had any Interest in the present suit for mandamus, said : "Certainly I have an Interest, as all citizens who stand for law and order and against autocracy should have. It Is nearly four years since I first took this matter up with the county commissioners, having writ ten a great many letters to them. not one of which has been acknowl edged, nor could I find any of them on file. And when I made my last appearance before the present com mission over a year ago, after having read the important sections of the law and pointed out that the commission had no choice but to comply with the same, a commis sioner turned to me and said; 'Mr. Startup, we know we are violating the law in this matter but we in tend to continue to do so!' "And I now challenge the county attorney and the commissioners to state their arguments, if they have have any, to the people, failed to answer a single criticism, even the reprimand of the supreme San Francisco, Calif Dec. 15, 1922.

Pierpont received a telegram late Friday from L. F. Rains, steel merger promoter, in which the acceptance of , the steel plant site was formally announced. The Daily Herald wired a newspaperman at San Francisco for a more complete account of the directors' meeting in that city Friday afternoon. His report follows: SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 16 Directors of the Columbia Steel corporation met here Friday afternoon, at the corporation's general offiees, 31 California street.' Among those who attended the meeting were President Wigginton Creed, and General Manager D. H. Blotchford, of the Columbia Steel corporation, and L. F.

At the meeting Friday the coke ovens to be used at the Provo plant were discussed; as was the, probable date of beginning construction work on the plant in Utah county. - le President T. N.
