ing were paid for. This deception is
still practiced, but we have learned to
expose it easily.
National Lead Company, the larg-
est makers of genuine Pure White
Lead, realizing the injustice that was
being done to both property owners
and honest paint manufacturers, set
about to make paint buying safe.
They first adopted trade mark, the
now famous "Dutch-Boy Painter" and
put this trademark, as a guaranty of
purity, on every package of their
White Lead. They then set about
familiarizing the public with the
blow-pipe test by which the purity
and genuineness of White Lead may
be determined, and furnished a blow.

write them for it. This action was in
itself a guaranty of the purity of Ma.

THE ISTHMUS
COMMISSION
REPORTS GRATIFYING PROGRESS
IN DIGGING THE BIG
CANAL.
PRESIDENT is PLEASED
SENDS LETTER OF CONGRATULA
TlON TO EACH MEMBER OF
THE COMMISSION.

Oyster Bay.-President Roosevelt
has made public a report submitted 10
him August 9th by special commits
sion consisting of James Bronson Rey-
nolds, Samuel B. Donnelly and Henry
Beach Needham regarding conditions
/ in Panama. The commission was ap.
pointed April 25th last.
That the President is pleased with
the report is shown in n letter which
he sent to each member of the com
mission Friday. He will submit the re-
port to Congress with appropriate rec.
concentrations.
The commission reports that It "in-
spected the entire line of the canal ex
cavation from La Boca, the southern
or Pacific terminus, to Cristobal, the
northern or Caribbean terminus, and
Travelled through the excavation sew
eral times, interviewing the men at
work"
Indicating the scope of the inspec-
tion, the commission reports that 1t
visited the government workshops,
construction plants, warehouses, ship
yards, dredges. commissary stores,
living quarters (that is. hotels, messes.
kitchens, camps), schools. club houses,
lescent home at Taboga."
President Roosevelrs letter to the
investigators says:
Il doubt II there Is any piece of
work undertaken on behalf of the
American people of recent years of
which the American people have more
reason to be proud than of the work
hitherto done on the Panama canal.
The success has literally been as
founding. Five years ago. when we
undertook the task, no sane man would
have dared to hope for the results
which have already been achieved.
The work itself has been advanced
more expeditiously than We had ven
tured TO think. and the rapidity of the
rate of progress has steadily increased.
Meanwhile the treatment of hygion-
ic conditions on the isthmus has been
such as to make Il literally the model
for all work OF the kind in tropical
countries. Five years ago the lsthmus
Of Panama was by-word for unhealth-
mess Of the most deadly kind. At
present the canal zone is one Of the
healthiest places on the globe, and the
work which is being prosecuted with
such tremendous energy is being pros.
ecuted under conditions so favorable
to the health and well.being of the
workers that the mortality among them
Is abnormaliy small.
Finally. In addition TO the extreme
efficiency of the work under Colonel
Goethals and his assistants and the ex.
traordlnary hygienic success achieved
under Dr. GOIRns, there Is the further
and exceedingly gratifying fact that
ON the isthmus the United States gov.
crnmcnt has been able TO show Itself
a model employer. There are matters
to correct, Of course. as your trip
showed. but on the other hand It is true
that the United States Is looking after
he welfare. health and comfort OF
those working for Il as no other gov.
ernmcnt has ever done In work Of like
character"

If we do not decorate it with the right thoughts

Dignity, grace, exquisite taste and
leminini,y mark the American women
of Honolulu. and make their drawing

beauty loving observer.
Many Of these women have been
born on the island. Several of them
are the third generation born here:
one is The fifth. Their grandfathers

carly times as traders, capitalists,
physicians or missionaries.
Besides these four types there IS

nY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX

There are four types of women to
be seen on the streets and in the
shops and homes Of Honolulu, and
each typ" is ypleasure to the eye.
The native Hawaiian woman wears
n "holoku." This is, in plain truth,
Il Mother Hubbard" gown, made
without fulness--a sort of half-iit-
ting princess. It is not artistic, but
is noticeable for its spick-and-span
cleanliness. ! have not seen one un-
tidy Hawaiian woman on the street
or in Il shop.
Their holoku gowns are made
long; they hold them up. and inyar-
iably show freshly Numbered petit
coats. Sometimes the hOloku is of
silk, or made of thin black stun,
with lace yoke; or of sheer lawn or
Powered material Always It is neat
and the underskirt spOtless.
The full-blOoded women are strik.
ingly similar In type; the round, full
face, the slightly up-turned nose and
"bi'i up opl'hNlb ''NNu anu oultl ~
eyes, and long, straight, black hair.
They are voluptuously built, and
incline to grow stout after thirty.
The heads of the POlynesians are
handsome and intellectual in shape.
Next we see the pretty little Jap
anese women trotting about the
streets in their picturesque kimonos
always as tidy and trim as a lady
on a fan.
And the luxurious costumes of the
Chinese women often make one turn
and gaze, with more curiosity than
politencss, so splendid are the cOlors
of the silk coats and so glittering the
jewels.
When we come to speak of tn ,
American women who are residents
of Honolulu II is like trying to de-
scribe n garden of tropical flowers.
In no other city in the world
and have visited many-did | ever
see women so universally tasteful
and artistic in their dress as the wo-
men OF Honolulu.

and feminine effects in dress. India

five ladies called upon her to wish

day. Her friends shOwcred her with
flowers and congratulations, an d ex-

aloha of all the people of Wuiluku.

the occasion. The poem was written
In pidgin English, and purpurted to
be the words of poor Chiilaman,
whom Miss Turner had bcfriended.
Needless to say. both Miss Turner
and tho ladies were greatly amused.
A pretty souvenir book was gotten
up for the occasion by Mrs. VIM. A..

served each lady left her autograph
Miss Turner was heard to remark in
the evening that 1t had been one of
her happiest days in Hawaii.
