Smart society, disporting itself in
country houses this season, is mixing
bridge with childish games, such as
hunt the slipper, leap frog, puss in
the corner and blind mans buff, and
getting a lot of fun out of the pas.
time. Gambling is all very well for
dowagers, but the younger set would
fain vary the excitement of cards with
a little rough house. even to tear
ing up and down stairs, secretipg
slippers or rushing madly from cor.
ner to corner pursued by some cat"
1t is an artless craze, and if no bones
nor bric-a-brac are shattered, one to
be approved.

The teaching Profession.

There was a time when the school
masters profession Vas adopted by
many college graduates as a pis aller,
OF as a Temporary means Of livelihood
before taking AZ some other Kind OF
work. The qualities and the special
training now required of a teacher
have given him a much more indepen-
dent and even more honorable posi-
ton than he formerly held. Conse-
quently, there have been an increased
esprit de corps. and a greater zeal in
the profession In his address before
the Middlesex Teachers association,
President Eliot spoke OF the enthusi-
astic devotion for their calling and
preference for II above all others,
which are often demanded and which,
he might have added, are often found
among those who are engaged in the
work Of education. For efficiency can.
not be secured by high salaries and
pensions. Like the profession OF arms,
that of teaching is one that is chosen
more often for glory than for gain,
but 1t is important that glory should
not have to be sought at the expense
OF ordinary comfort, says the New
YORK Post In Harvard college,"
said DIR. Eliot, the salaries are high.
er than in the teaching profession
generally, yet they are lower than can
be had by men of the right quality in
other professions"

Copper as Barometer of Trade,

THIS is an electrical age. Therefore
copper is one of the most accurate
barometers of trade. In some re-.
spects it is a better gauge of develop.
ments in the industrial world than are
iron and steel Between 1885 and
100 the production of it increased $50
per cent. In the same ten year ne
Rod the output of iron and steel rose
ll5 per cent. Copper as a medium
Is doing in many ways what iron and
steel used to do Its position is some
what analogous to that of concrete as
related to brick. The new form pro.
duces the same results as the old, and
at lower rate of cost.

HIGGINS HAWAII TALK

San Francisco, Aug S.-J. Edgar
Higgins of the Hawaiian Agricultural
Experiment Station, who is registered
at the Hotel Jeffersonh, says that the
station at Honolulu, which was estab-
lished in 1901, has demonstrated that
tropical agriculture can be conducted
in the Islands with profit and success
1t was generally supposed that to-
bacco in the Islands would be too
strong for consumption, but the ex-
pertinent station has developed leaf
of mild flavor, of good color and an
even burn.
The station at Hawaii comprises 12O
acres, situated near Honolulu and has
produced mangoes, coffee, sisal (used
for the manufacture of binder twine
and lariats chiefly, rubber and tropi
cal fruits. The experiments in rubber
trees are being made with all the well
known plants, the chief of which, Hig-
gins says, is the ceara, which has been
found to be highly productive in the,
Islands and to yield heavily. Four
rubber companies are now established
and the rubber and tobacco industries
have received an impetus through the
assistance rendered by the expert
mental station.
Higgins expects shipment of tropi-
cal fruits here this month and will
proceed to Chicago with them, the in
tention being to ascertain how far
they can be carried without damage.
An endeavor is to be made to place
the Island fruits prominently on the
markets here. Success in this direc-
tion has already been attained in Brit
ish Columbia, Seattle and Portland.
Higgins advocates duty on coffee
and tropical fruits, through which he
declares the Hawaiian Islands could
become a white mans country. Com
petition with Brazilian coffee growers
is virtually impossible. The expert
eays that there are thousands of acres
in Hawaii that can be readily turned
into coffee plantations and pineapple
orchards.

A large amount of misleading

ALEWA OWNERS Want
TITLES REGISTERED
Will Petition Land Office
To Have Work
Done

A movement is on foot among the
recent purchasers Of Alewa lots to
have the Government register their
titles. This can be- done now as well
as it could at the time they bought
the lots, according to the statement
made this morning Dy L. L. Howard,
clerk of the Court of Land Registra-
ton, and it would cost the Territory
only the actual expenses of advertising
and postage. If the land owners
themselves were to register their
titles, it would cost each one of them
about $50, as much as the total cost to
The Government for registering all Of
them.
The registering of these titles
would entail considerable work on the
land court, but Mr.. Howard says that
as a public official he thinks it IS his
duty to inform the lot purchasers that
they can have their titles registered
by petitioning the Land Office, accord

HOLLOWAY THINKS
PUMP IS ALL RIGHT
Says He Is Perfectly
Satisfied With
Results

Just another of it's usual attacks on
the Nuuanu DAM was the way Su-
perintendent of Public Works Hollo~
way characterized the morning pa
per's story about the uselessness OF
the new high lift pump. "The pump
is doing its work all right" said Mr..
Holloway, ''and | am perfectly satis-
fled with It. We are getting out of it
about rs per cent of its capacity, in
stead OF only one-third as stated by
the Advertiser.
"As regards the time the pump has
not been working, much of that Is due
to the contractor. Mr.. Whitehouse
had the pump shut down two days
last week. Otherwise it has been
working well and practically all OF the
time"
Mr. Holloway was asked If it is true
that it costs about $500 month to
inspect about $4,000 worth of work
I'VE did about $4,000 worth last
month";" he said.
Auditor Fisher stated this morning
that it costs about $500 each month
to inspect the work and that the work
Goes not amount to more than $25OO

mates, however, he stated. are not in

G|LMAN'S STEAMER
PROJECT DEVELOPS
Only 25 Per Cent. Capital
Is Sought From
Honolulu

"Of course we don't expect the
people to take hold of the steamship
proposition that isn't all right" said
j. A. Gilman this morning in speak
ing of the development and discussion
of his steamer project.
"The people of Honolulu do not
have to buy the steamer. The plan
| offer is one in which outside cap
italists take seventy-five per cent Of
the investment If Honolulu people
will take twenty-five per cent. That
is not so bad. 1t is not such a tre-
mendous risk. 1t stands to reason
that no dollar of the local twenty-five
per cent would be put up till the ex-
act character and capacity of the
steamer is known to those with
money to advance and the prospects
sized up. 1t looks all right to me,
and men with money have said the
same thing"

WATER IS FLOWING
OVER SPILLWAY OF
!. WAHIAWA Dam

Seven inches of water was this
morning running over the spillway OF
the big Wahiawa dam. This means
that the reservoir of the great dam
erected to store waters for the Waia-
lua plantation is full and running
over for the first time. The water has
risen quite rapidly in the last few days
owing to the heavy rains. The plan
tation has used something like thirty
millions of gallons a day for. irriga-
ton purposes and this has not at any
time made very heavy drain on the
supply.
1t all means that water resource
fully as large, If not larger than prom
ised, is available for the plantation as
result of the construction of this
storage reservoir.

FLEMING DECLINES

No one has been named yet for

of certain other plans he has made
