There is merry war going on in
Washington between the Woman's
Christian Temperance. Union and the
Woman's Army and Navy League.
Both organizations are advocating
temperance, the former as opposed to
the army canteen and the latter urg-
ing it's reinstatement. The women OF
the Army and Navy League insist
that the canteen is in the interest OF
sobriety, good morals, decency and
health; that it furnishes an assembling
point in camp or in barracks and pre-
vents enlisted men wandering outside,
dissipating and drinking themselves
into the gutter and indulging in the
worst types of debauchery. The ar
gument of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union is we'll known and
is mainly to the effect that the gov
ernment must in no sense be saloon
keeper, or hand out in any shape or
form the vile Observation-Disclosures it
is beer, whiskey, brandy, wine or

Salvation Army Rescue
Home in Need Of
Assistance.

In any rounding out of the list of
Honolulu's benevolent institutions the
absence of rescue home for females
would make a noticeable gap. Such
an omission was some time ago pre-
vented by the action of the local Sal
walton Army Corps. For about a year
past the matron of the institution has
been Ensign Lena Anderson, S. a.
That she has done efficient work is
evidenced by the fact that the home
while earning for itself the status of
being able to show tangible results of
most gratifying nature.
A year ago the rescue home shelter
Now there are fourteen little children
and thirteen girls in the domicile. The
children are waits of various kinds, in
Guiding some whose parents, on account
of having to earn their living away
from home, cannot take proper care of
them. AS for the girls, they are I'M
fortunates rescued from degradation
or neglect by Salvation Army work
ers. Some of them have even been in
jail.
Being of various alien races and di-
verse tongues, the girls form diff
cult class to instruct in the ways of
respectable living and means of self
help. Yet by kindness, patience and
devotion Ensign Anderson has been
able to make promising young women
of some of her charges. Of the thir-
teen now at the home, six girls are
out working for families in the neigh
borhood and, pleasant to relate, no
complaints about them have been re-
ceived.
The rescue home is located in the
old McCully homestead, Pawaa. It is
now short of funds, owing to the in
crease of inmates. Remittances in it's
aid may be made to Ensign Anderson,
addressed either P. o. Box 80 Or 1850
King street. Money is needed chiefly
for clothing, and, from any who might
prefer to help in that way, the dona-
tion of an odd bolt of muslin or calico
would be thankfully received. House
keeping utensils would also be &C
ceptable gifts, in which connection it
may be stated that the home is much
in need of a stove.

Saturday submitted the finished draft

partment of Public instruction to Gov

will be valuable for reference to all
who take an interest in the public and

generally known that the department
has considerable jurisdiction over pri-
