The Ladies' Relief Society Takes Ac-

hi--A Generous Offer,

The ladies of the Hawaiian Relief
Society, an organization which per-
formed grand work amongst the Ha-
waiians in providing sustenance and
necuniary assistance in the cholera
outbreak of 80, have once again
stepped forward with an offer of as
sistance.

society last week that the Hawaiians
should have separate accommodation
at the detention camps, and should not

posed upon the Asiatics. and commit
tee was forthwith appointed to carry
ont the sense of the meeting.
/ It will be remembered that the Ka-
J niolani Estate Company offered a fifty
acre tract of land to the Government,
free of rental for one year, for the pur-
mise of a detention camp site. The Es-
tate Company, upon being cOmmunica-
ted with. readily extended a similar Of
fer to the society.
The committee, Mesdames Cunha, q

present Kalihi detention camps yester-
day morning. and later on communica'
ted their desire TO the Board OF Health
The idea is that in consideration o.

waiians placed within the enclosure 10

of the society, and instructed. Mr.. Chas

pretty ones are made with white and
color. / have also started some
knitted wash rags, using Dexter's
white ball cotton.
For Cousin Jane, who has such a
pretty collection of doilies, shall
make linen doilie case. l cut two
pieces of cardboard about twelve
inches square and cover them with
linen embroidered, .cretonne or silk.
The covers are fastened together by
ribbons. An attractive way Of tying
up doilies to give away is to make
little book of two pieces of card
board tied with ribbon and paste
bright-colored tissue paper on the in
side OF the cardboard.
Not long ago l saw pretty Baby
Book" with blank pages and fancy
covers, for recording important events
in the baby's life; also, some little
linen spool cases. Housewives made
of cardboard covered with linen, silk
or cretonne are greatly appreciated as
presents. Pieces of cardboard are
covered and sewed together to make
box. This is fastened to a strip of
silk or linen twelve inches long and
the width of the box. Pieces of fan
mel are sewed next to the box on one
end for the neddle book and that end
is turned back to form receptacle
for needles. The other end has
shirred piece sewed on for receptacle
for darning cotton. The box holds
spools, emery bag, pin cushion and
place for thimble.
Alice is making waste basket Of
cardboard covered with cretonne, the
inside lined with plain bright colored
paper. Fancy striped and Powered
wall paper is also used for these
baskets. The four sections of card
board are fastened together with rib
bons run through holes punched in
the cardboard. A. Is also making
some magazine and book covers and
plotting pads. The magazine and
book covers are made of heavy linen
starched. The corners are turned back
as We turn back paper cover in fit
ting 1t to book, except that she sews
the corners Of the linen cover. For
the blotting pad she takes a piece of
staff cardboard eighteen inches by
ten, covers 1t with silk, linen or Gre

linen in the corners to, hold the blot
ting paper in place.

myself together and reflect I ceased
to be sorry and became thankful,
thankful that can't count. I'm truly
sorry for those who have been dwarfed
until they can count right The soul
of man is like acetylene gas, very
harmless and useful when not COM
pressed but along about 143 pounds
pressure it becomes unruly, blowing
up at the slightest pretext. / do not
wonder Q'm not excusing, only ex-
plaining) the madness Of men. The
man whose soul has been kept under
daily pressure Of meaningless toll Is
as dangerous as dynamite. Some day
there will be an explosion. The most
natural, the most logical thing for a
man, who for ten hours exists but
doesn't live; who makes, but does not
create. the natural thing is to go and
get drunk; to take something that in
the moment of intoxication will make
the dwarfed soul feel big. I'm not ex-
cusing, only explaining, when l say
that dissipation is natural reaction
from unnatural contraction Of the ma
tive powers of a man. Apparently
there is no help for the piecework,
patchwork system. I say apparently,
for I'm not so sure. One Of the most
intelligent men in the factory, who
has an easy job of testing gauges, tells
ME, that he can't test as many In a
day as when he began. This man is
an exception to the rule. He has been
rotated, and can do many things.
sometimes for couple of days he
works at a lathe. Then, when he
comes to his gauges, he says that he
can dig in and do better, than where
continuously doing the same thing. l
know of one very successful factory
that, as matter of policy, rotates all
its men, giving to each one widest ex-
perierce and mental development. The
truest thing that Froebel ever said
the core of his philosophy, the magical
secret of the kindergartens-is this:
THE human organism develops by
creative activity" If there is no bet
ter way than the minute subdivision
of labor, then there Is an added re-
sponsibility for some one or ones to
do something to save the man from
mental and moral decay. In cases of
poisoning it is customary to keep the
patient Waking to shake Off sleep.
Sleep were death. Something must be
done to shake off mental sleep, the
sleep of death. Happy is the man who
has hobby. There is one cardinal
consideration, ten hours Of such mean
ingless toll precludes doing anything
for the toilers. Eight hours is the
maximum. l have in mind man who
for years has sat with several thou
sand iron handles at his side. He takes
one up, drive drift through the eye,
simply that and nothing more. How
meaningless the creation prelude. In
our image" How hooking the mem
ory of childhood's divinely creative
play. "Thou hast made him little
lower than the angels. Thou hast
crowned him with glory and honor"
Can the worlds work be done in such
way, that we all may come to the
"fullness of the stature of man."
The problem of social evolution is to
crown the common man with the glory
and honor of manhood, as God
planned it, as the baby reveals it

The Poor Voter on Election Day.
The proudest now is but my peer,
The highest not more high;
Today, of all the weary year,
A king of men am l.
Today alike are great and small.
The nameless and the known;
My palace is the peoples hall,
The ballot box my throne.
Who serves today upon the list
Besides the served shall stand;
Alike the brown and wrinkled fist,
The gloved and dainty hand!
The rich is level with the poor,
The weak is strong today;
And sleekest broadcloth counts no
more
Than homespun frock of gray.
Today lie. pomp and vain pretense
My stubborn right abide;
i set plain mans common sense
Re Against the pedant's pride.
Today shall simple manhood try
The strength of gold and land;
The wide world has not wealth to buy
The power in my right hand.
While there's grief to seek redress,
Or balance to ADJUST
Where weighs our living manhood less
Than Mammon's vilest dust;
While there's right to need my vote,
A wrong to sweep away,
Up clouted knee and ragged coat!
A mans man today!

Speaking of the compulsory arbitra-
ton law of New Zealand the Shoe
Workers Journal says: Because it
has proved to be successful in New
Zealand it does not necessarily follow
that such a measure would be benefi-
cial to the unionists in this country.
Many mistakes have been made by
jumping at conclusions. If such a
measure were introduced in legisla-
tive body in this country we have no
assurance that when it was referred to
a committee we should be able to rec
ognize it when it comes from the COM
mittee. 1t is likely that any effort
along that line would result in giving
us a law which would render the con-
ditions of the worker far more intol-
cradle than they are now. There are
two sides to the question of compul
sorry arbitration as we'll as to all other
questions. Not single prominent
American trades unionist has advocat
ed the New Zealand compulsory arbi-
tration method, only few so-called
reform papers and few labor papers,
whose editors lack practical knowledge
of industrial conditions, are praising
it. We see no reason why under the
plan of voluntary arbitration the prin-
ciple of arbitration will not be ad-
vanced as rapidly as the intelligence of
all parties will permit. Under no cir
cumstances does organized labor care
to have its hands tied, and least of all
by those who profess to be its
friends"

LATEST THING IN HOSIERY.

When woman raises her skirts
nowadays the passer by with sharp
eyes will notice what appears to be
a stocking slipping down beyond ply
steal and moral support She is in no
danger of losing it. 1t won't turn
down even over her foot. 1t is merely
ly the mousquetaire stocking, the
latest CT feminine folly's fads. Just
as a long glove would wrinkle over my
lady's wrist and arm, so her long
stocking now wrinkles over her leg.
This probably was devised by the girl
with thin lower extremities for the
CONSERVATION of her stout friend, who
could not afford to add anything to
the circumference of that part of her
body. The stout lady, therefore, will
content herself with the stripes and
clockwork which decorate the skin
tight hosiery, while the thin girl will
don the interminable hose that wrin-
kle throughout their length. Some
OF the mousquetaire stockings are
woven to produce semblence of
wrinkle. OF course, this careless eff
