Why
s. NIIDOD PORCH
NOOON SHADES
Are Needed

You need Vudor Porch Shades to get
the most out Of your porch.
To make it a spot where you can
rest or work on the hottest days-out-
doors, yet free from the suns glare and
heat.
You can do this with Vudor Porch
Shades; you can add to the house an
other room, cool and shady, where you
may enjoy every refreshing breeze, in
secluded comfort.
Vudor Porch Shades are very dur
able, and will last many seasons.
Another good feature about them is
the peculiar fact that those sitting on
the porch can see out, but passersby
cannot see in. In other words, you
have complete privacy, and can use
the porch or veranda the same as an
inside room, with infinitely more COM
fort on hot days
Vudor Porch Shades are just the
thing for boxing in" porches or bal
comics that are to be used as outdoor
sleeping or living apartments,
Vudor Porch Shades are made OF
thin, fiat strips of Linden Wood, close
ly bound by strong Seine Irvine, in a
lock-stitch weave.
They are artistically stained in soft,
pleasing colors. These colors are

MAIL SUBSIDIES
AS PROPOSED
Congress Was to Authorize Double
Rates to Second Glass
Steamships.
HAT THE HOUSE REJECTED.
San Francisco steamship Representa-
tives Were Not Eager to
Take Up Work.

The following Washington dispatch
with added interviews obtained of San
Francisco steamship men by the Call
explains the nature of the mail subsi-
dies agreed on in conference but denied
by the House as previously reported ny
cable:
WASHINGTON, May 21.-Congress
today took an important step looking
to the payment of ship subsidies, the
conferees on the postoftice appropria-
ton bill having agreed to accept the
amendment by the senate authorizing
the postmaster general to contract
with steamship lines running to ports
of South America, Philippine islands,
Japan, China and Australasia for the
carrying of the mails and to pay the
same rate to vessels of the second
class that is now paid on American
vessels of the first class to Europe, and
to vessels of the third class the rate
now authorized for vessels Of the sec
ond class.
There are no American lines of the
first class to the countries named and
the effect Of this legislation will be to
encourage the establishment of mail
and passenger steamers to ports OF
those countries.
! SHOW LITTLE INTEREST.
Omcials of neither the Pacific Mail
nor the Oceanic steamship companies
seemed eager yesterday to take advan-
tage Of the increased appropriation
made by congress for the carrying OF
the United States mails to far Pacific
ports.
F. s. Samuels, manager of the Ocean
fc company, said that the vessels OF
that corporation were in the second
class and would now be in a position
to qualify to receive 81 a mile on the
outward bound voyage for carrying the
mails. Under the rating heretofore in
force the allowance was only 81 a mile
whether we will resume running
vessels to Australia and carry the
. mails can not be determined for a
\ time" he said Australia and New
Zealand have made other contracts tol
carrying the mails since we dlscontln'
ued, and we do not know at present
whether we could get that business
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-05-29

that is, we get what amounts to the
postage on the mail we carry
Under the terms of the bill just
passed the subsidy can not be greater
than the proceeds from the mail car
ried, said the reporter. IF you now
get all the postage value does it not
mean that the new appropriation will
be greater than the postage paid?'
1T might be- answered Frey. In
that event the subsidy would have to
be discontinued toward the end of each
fiscal year The chief value of this bill
is that it is a step toward the provid-
ing OF an adequate subsidy to build
up the merchant marine"
