dirty, patched old rag to a penny or
even two-pence for a foul but heavy
covering. Then, too. there are frayed
silk quilts for. bridal couples, but these
are too costly to be rented by many

scenes when the penniless mothers
strive to hold the quilt to protect their
babes from the chill and damp. Like

Few of the inhabitants ever get
money enough ahead to buy bed

WAR INVADES CHAMBER Of
COMMERCE DELIBERATIONS
Situation in the Orient Touched Upon at Yes
terday's Meeting---Committee viii Discuss
Warrants With Governor Carter

| At yesterdays meeting of the Cham
Der of Commerce, E. D. Tenney touch
ed on the effect the Japan-Russian war
may have on Hawaii commercially.
The suggestion that the war would dis
turb the commercial and plantation in
terests was discussed at random by the
members.
Mr.. Tenney thought the matter
should be referred to committee to
keep in touch with it. 1t was pointed
out by some of the members that the
present news of victory for the Jap
anese would create a feeling of unrest
among the Japanese plantation labor
ers. thereby affecting the labor supply.
The question of just how many re-
serves We're in Hawaii was considered,
one member stating that from his
source of information there were not
more than 500 in the islands. Another
estimate gave 1900. 1t was not believed
that many of these would be able to re-
turn to japan.
Another important matter discussed
was that regarding warrants issued oy
the government.
Information was given to the Cham
Der by C. NJ. Cooke that President Geo.
w. Smith of the Merchants Association
was DESTROYS of having joint action by
the Merchants Association and the
Chamber of Commerce on the question
of warrants, to be taken up with Gov
Der suggested also that purchases Of
merchants made by departments on the
strength of being paid by appropria-
tions made by the next legislature with
items inserted in the deficiency bill, be
taken up by the joint committee. The
matter was referred to a committee
consisting of Messrs. F. j. Lowrey, j.
A. Kennedy and J. F. Morgan
The meeting yesterday was held by
the trustees of the Chamber of Com

Why They Wear Broad Brims.

The hats worn by Korean state
functionaries have brims of enormous
dimensions, three feet across some
times, and are required to be made
Of clay. The reason for this, Mr..
Hatch tells, in his recent book, is that
some years ago the then ruler Of
Korea was annoyed at the habit of
whispering that prevailed at court,
and SO decideds upon compelling his
courtiers to wear hats that would
make it somewhat more difficult to
put their heads close together and ex.
change condolences.

in Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada), and
with the material assistance given it
by the Dominion Government, it will

attractions that will be offered, there
will be brought together an EXHIBIT

attempted by any country. Visitors
will be there in large numbers from
the United States, owing to the low

with the Canadian roads. 1t is ex.
