CURIOUS FREAK
OF NATURE OF
ANCIENT HERO
CURIOS FREAK
PAPEETE, Island of Tahiti, May 1
(by mall).—One of the most remark
able of the curios freaks of nature to
be seen here is the clean, round tun
nel which pierces through and
through a high peak rising from the
island of Moorea, where the French
gunboat “Kersaint” lies a hopeless
wreck on its shores.
The island of Moorea is considered
one of the most picturesque and beau
tiful islands of the South Pacific. Its
interior presents every form of moun
tain mass conceivable—cones, cathe
dral spires, truncated pyramids,
needles, battlemented cliffs, which
look like Titanic fortifications and the
lofty peak, so curiously pierced.
This hole, according to native
legends, was the work of an ancient
hero, O Pai, who, having fashioned a
marvellous spear, pointed with the
bones of evil spirits who had slain
his father when he had sought out
and slain, stood on the shore of Ta
hiti and cast it toward the setting
sun.
The spear pierced the mountain in
Moorea and continued its flight to the
island of Huahine (sixty miles to the
westward) whither O Pai, wading
through the sea, followed to perform
other feats of strength and valor.
Moorea is an old valcono. Its crater
is one of the largest in the world.
One side of this crater breaking down
in some past age, has given entrance
to the sea, thus forming two deep
bays on either side of the central
cone.
These bays, flanked as they are by
lofty mountains clothed to their sum
mits with tropical verdure; verdure
which seems to cascade in masses
from the high cliffs to the waters’
edge, are of surpassing beauty. At
nightfall when the colors fade and the
weird peaks are seen as dark shad
ows against the stars and night flying
“Upoa” with their uncanny wail glide
unseen overhead, these bay3 are as
ghostly as the spectral landscapes of
Gustave Dore. If natives are to be be
lieved, many ghostly happenings are
enacted here.
JUNEAU GIRL TEACHES
JOURNALISM TO YANK
SOLDIERS IN FRANCE
JUNEAU, May 7 (by mail).—A
former Alaska girl, Miss Helene
Moore, is teaching journalism to
American soldiers in France, accord
ing to letters received here, her for
mer home. The letters said Miss
Moore had been named as instructor
in journalism at Beaume University,
the largest educational institution of
the American Expeditionary Forces in
France.
Miss Moore graduated from the
University of Washington at Seattle
and later worked for a time in the
Sound city. She went overseas as a
hut worker during the war. She is
the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. I. H.
Moore, formerly of Skagway and
Juneau.
MEXICANS 1 ' RIGHT
VIEW OF BOND SALE
JUAREZ, Mex., May 15 (by Asso
ciated Press). — American Liberty
loans attract as much attention here
as they do in El Paso, across the Rio
Grande. A number of Juarez business
men who have close trade relations
with American firms in El Paso have
bought bonds of each issue and have
applied for a number of the Victory
loan bonds to complete their collec
tions. A special committee from El
Paso called on these bond buyers, one
of them being told by a prominent
Mexican here, ‘‘You fought our fight
for us and there is no reason why we
should not help pay the expenses.”
DRESSED MEXICAN FLEAS
ARE NO LONGER CURIOS
EL PASO, Tex., May 15 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Dressed Mexican fleas
have disappeared from the curio mar
ket here. These little Insects once
were popular with tourists for mailing
back home. The only dressed flea in
the curio stores here is one being held
by a wholesale dealer as a Bouvenir
of the days when he sold the insects,
skillfully dressed by keen-eyed Mexi
can women, by the gross.

FATHER DOEGER
CONSECRATED
ARCHBISHOP
• r
SANTA FE, N. M„ May 14 (by As
sociated Press).—His head bound
with a linen band, his forehead
anointed with holy chrism, and his
finger wearing the ring of ecclesias
tical authority, the Most Rev. Albert
Daeger, of Jemez Pueblo, N. M., has
been consecrated metropolitan of the
archdiocese of Santa Fe, the largest
area in the United States, in the mas
sive Cathedral of St. Francis here.
The kiss of peace was administered
by the retiring archbishop, the Most
Rev. J. p. Pitaval, of Santa Fe, who
performed the ceremony of consecra
tion. By this ceremony, the former
superior of the Franciscan fathers in
an obscure Indian settlement became
the spiritual guide of the Roman
Catholics of New Mexico, Colorado,
Arizona and part of Texas.
The imposing Gothic structure in
which the consecration took place
was thronged with churchmen and
laymen from all parts of the arch
diocese, as well as by a number of
visiting dignataries. The fact that
the ceremonies were performed in the
middle of the week enabled many
priests to be present.
The rites began with the solemn
presentation of the archbishop elect.
Apostolic lettres permitting the con
secration were then read. The anoint
ment of the forehead and the binding
of the head of the new prelate fol
lowed. The archbishop-elect then
touched the crozier that is to be the
sta ffof his authority, a ring was
placed upon hi? finger, he received
the kiss of peace and was given, in
Latin, the wishes for a long life.
Archbishop Daeger is forty-seven
years old. He was born in St. Ann’s,
Ind., where he received his early edu
cation, later attending St. Francis col
lege, in Cincinnati. He was ordained
priest in 1896, and came to the south
west eighteen years ago. He was sta
tion at Pena Blanca and Farmington,
both in this state, before assuming
charge of the Franciscan mission at
Jemez Pueblo ten years ago. His
familiarity with the Spanish language
and with a number of Indian dialects
has rendered his services particularly
valuable in New Mexico, and will
further aid him in his work through
out his archdiocese.
Archbishop Pitaval, the retiring
metropolitan, announced his resigna
tion last June, giving as his reason
the fact that his advanced age pre
vented his continuing to do the neces
sary amount of travel over his exten
sive jurisdiction.

War Has Made the Woman Problem More
Complex and Her Lot More Hard
B7 PROF. H. J. DAVENPORT, Cm* Uawnfey v
_ ———————
The effect of war-debt taxes will be to make living conditions for the
laboring masses of Europe less tolerable. These conditions must tend
to promote emigration from Europe to the countries of relatively less
unpromising conditions—to the United States, for instance, where the
war burdens will be comparatively light. One aspect of the post-war
problem is most serious and most tragic. Europe, and measurably also
America, has before it the series of problems that must attend a surplus
of marriageable women over marriageable men. Society never runs safely
or wholesomely on this basic. What must Europe immediately do with
its millions of girls maturing into war spinsters?
Surely they will have to work. And certainly there will be need for
their work. But it will be work under the stress of a new and dire neces
sity—not merely for self-maintenance but to help pay taxes for a war
debt and to support the war invalids—work under even worse conditions
than ever homeless, self-dependent, unmated, childless and hopeless
women have earlier known. Emigration will therefore especially appeal
to the women. Europe, no matter how rigorous in holding its men, will
let its surplus women go: possibly it mgy assist them to go.
But in many parts of America the women somewhat outnumbered
the men even before the war. How, then, shall America set about it to
make room for the new women immigrants? Even those of our women
that found and accepted work during the stress of war are now being
discharged—a personal injustice and an institutional perversity past all
belief.
Inevitably the war has added new aspects to the woman problem, not
merely because of the men that are dead, the home fires that will not be
lighted, the children that will not be born, but also because of the mil
lions of women that, spinster-doomed, must now enter the struggle for
a separate maintenance. But it is not entirely inevitable—in some part
it is merely stupid and cruel—that this struggle the women now have to
face in a world that has never more than grudgingly and partially shared
its opportunities with them, and that now, debt-ridden, has only meager
opportunities to share.
