Poinsettia Holds Beauty

The Christmas poinsettia will hold
its beauty longer if it is kept where
the temperature is about 60 to 65 degrees and where it will get an hour
or two of sunshine. It should be
watered daily. If the flower pot of
earth is about two quarts in size,
a cup of water will not be too much.
House plants generally need extra
care during the months when heating plants are going full tilt, and
should be watered a little every day.

Hawalians

LOS ANGELES, Calif~(Global)~Hawaii~s chances of statehood were improved by the war,
which tested the loyalty of its
large American-Japanese population, according to Dr. John W.
Caughey, professor of history on
the Los Angeles campus of the
University of California.

One of the pre-war stumbling
blocks to Hawaii~s admission to
the Union was a fear that in a
crisis in the Pacific, citizens of
Japanese descent might turn
against the country. But Federal
Investigation Bureau records
show not one act of sabotage
during the war.

Moreover, voluntary
ment in United States armed
forces brought American-Japanese inductions in the Islands to
a higher percentage than the
remainder of the. population, Dr.
Caughy points out.

Not only is arthritis a disease

which attacks all races from the
