NEWSBOYS MUST
WEAR UNIFORMS

After September 1 the Honolulu
newsboys will have to wear distinctive
uniforms or keep off the Rapid Transit
cars. Such is the ultimatum of the
management of the company. The
costumes of the boys will be left td
themselves, but it must be uniforms as
to coat and cap. The rest Of the ap-
parel is left to the individual fancy
of the news vendors.
The matter of the newsboys jump
ing on and off the ears is one of the
hardest things, next to the japanese
who jump off backwards, that the car
men have to contend with and there
is fear that accidents will happen
some day, especially when any boy
with a paper under his arm imagines
that that gives him the right to hop
off and on cars as he sees fit, regard
less of the nerves of the passengers
and the patience of the conductors and
motormen.

LOGAN LEFT HUSBANDS.

The lines are being drawn tight on
enlisted men who marry native women
in the Philippines and are willing to
sail home and leave them behind, says
the Army and Navy Journal. The
men are examined closely as the time
approaches for them to return to the
United States, to learn if they intend
to provide transportation for their
wives, and if not they are not allowed
TO sail. On the last trip home of the
Logan two men of the 7th Cavalry
were taken off the ship after all were
on board, and she was ready to take
up anchor. These men were told to
stay in the Islands until they were
ready to deal fairly with the women
they had chosen to marry. They were
transferred to the Bird Cavalry, and
will not come home for another year
and more. Hereafter no enlisted man
who has married a native woman will
be re-enlisted, and men who want to
marry will hereafter be required to
get the consent of their company COM
manders.
