an ad. for U.S."
The question Of souvenir postal cards
was discussed at some length. Il being
The general opinion that the examples
OF postal art as displayed on cards
representing Hawaiian scenes were OF
Inferior grades beside those from other
countries. Mr. Spalding showed an al q.
bum OF postal cards prepared by Mr..
kishi. manager of the Yokoharn ma
specie Bank here. in which were cards
from Hawaii California and Japan. BY
comparison those representing Hawaii
were mere daubs beside the artistic
cards from Japan. In fact. those from
Japan represented about the hlghes;
percentage In postal cards. The blend
ing OF colors is about perfect. The
coloring In the Hawaiian postal cards
Is described as atrocious. and there is
much room for Improvement in the
subjects.
TWO cards showing photographs OF
LEGAL scenes taken by Mr.. Gartley were
shown to the committee. These had
been made IN Japan and were excellent
types. delicate tints, even in photo
graphs, were shown to ADVANTAGE The
cost of pictures made in Japan is very
small. and with added freight and duty
the cards are still very cheap.
Secretary Wood stated that he had
obtained permission from the Bureau
,f Labor and Commerce to use the plates
Df Hawaiian fishes printed i'm a govern
rnent publication on fishes I'm Hawaiian
waters. 1t was found that several of
these can be used to advantage on pos
tai cards.
The committee has decided to mako
tabulated lists of people arriving here

estimate of the number of people ar
irving can be made. The length of
their stay will also be noted.
The New York Central and the Penn

space To Hawaii In their new folder
