A COMMUNITY FLEET FUND.

Collecting money for the enter
tainment of the Fleet is one impor-
tant detail of administration that is
occupying the minds of the Execu-
tive Committeemen-an the busi-
ness men.
: The executive men are presumably
sizing up the situation and may fol-
low the usual plan Of: first, deciding
what is needed; second, making a
list Of the regular" business houses
Of the city; and, third, "apportion-
ing" the amount to be raised.
While the executive man is doing
this the business man is wondering
how much he will be asked for-and
how he will meet 1t.
The business men of the city Of
Honolulu are not small" They are
not parsimonious in their treatment
of the men who must raise money for
big event. They have great many
calls for contributions, and more
than one says Yes" when he knows
he should say NO" simply because
he feels that he must come up to the
mark that custom has set for him.
Since this Fleet visitation is mat
ter In which the whole community,
large and small, citizen and resident,
IL interested, the suggestion has been
made to this paper that 1t propose a
general subscription for the Fleet
fund.
We believe the idea a most excel
lent one and would recommend 1t to
the committee, with the assurance
that 1t meets a community sentiment.
A general public subscription to
the Fleet fund should strike a popu-
lar chord In Honolulu and through
out the Islands. II would enable the
people to demonstrate their goodwill
toward a celebration that is to ex-
press Hawaii's Aloha toward the
Navy.
There are Chinese and Japanese
residents and business men who
would be glad to add to the general
fund. Under ordinary circumstances
they would not be considered because
the average subscription list does not
include the Honolulu element on the
other side Of Nuuanu, the other ISL
ands. and the people who could give
only q dollar or two. at most.
Some may remark that some other
occasion would be better for making
a change in the Embarrassing custom
II there was ever an affair In which
all Hawaii is interested. this is the
one, and there is no time like the
present to recognize that both sides
OF Nuuanu and the population of the
other Islands enter into our commu-
nifty life.
The sooner We get everybody shar-
ing In the joys and responsibilities OF
our celebrations, the closer will be
the approach to a united people ready
to Join In work for the town, each &C.
cording to his ability.

WATER EXPERTS
MAY CONE HERE
To Study Under And
Above Ground
Streams

That a party of Government experts
will come to Hawaii to study the wat.
er supply, especially that coming from
streams both under and above ground,
is to be inferred from the speech of
Congressman Shirley in the course Of
debate on the Civil Sundry Appro,
priatiOn Bill before the House.
Shirley's speech, which is too long
to be given here; is in the form of q
plea for a party of experts to be sent
here for the purpose of Investigating
the Water Business In the Hawaiian
Islands" 1t seemed to be the general
concensus Of opinion that the depart.
ment intended to send these men here
in the not far distant future. Under
ground streams would be the subject
OF special study.

RAILROAD INTO L,syAn DESERT
New Line That Adds Fertile Province
to Land Of Egypt.

The new railway which is to briH:,
the ancient Osages of kharga into
close relation with Egypt has been
opened to the public. The line which
is some 200 kilometers in length, and
has been constructed under the aus
pices of the corporation of Western
Egypt, starts from Khargo Junction,
which is some five miles from Maya.
Hamadi, the celebrated sugar center
and proceeds through the NEST ba:.
rem country. On the way one passes
countless Roman ruins. and the seen.
cry right along is of the most bold
fascinating and varying type. For
most of the journey the line follows
the old caravan route. A great deal
of difficulty was encountered during
the construction, owing to the pres,
ence of limestone and rocks. In seva.-
al places the embankment had to b.
built up to the level of the rocks This
was due to the fact that if the line
had pierced the rocks it would have
been rendered impossible at cersai:!
periods of the year on account Of tho
sand, which drifts with the wind and
covers up all apertures on the face oi
the desert. The work will result il
the addition of a new provincc-ta:ai
of Western Egypt-to Egypt.
The new province is a most fertile
one, and rich in mineral and stone dc
posits. and although far removed fror7
the usual irrigation area, it is pro
vided with an ineXhaustible supply OF
pure water Very shortly the corpora
| ton will start the construction of {;
railroad to the neighboring Oasis q

ucts have been found. and where
the agricultural prospects are equal,

The Oasis of Kharga was in ancient
| times called the Oasis of Kencmet

consecrated to the god Amen Ra
which was founded by Darius

Political offenders were banished tt

patton, and there are numerous ruin:

RAILROAD USE OF STEEL.
Lines Take About a Third Of Manu-
iactured Product.

Years ago. say up to the past ten
years. it was the common estimate
that the railroads consumed. in one
way or another. about half the irc:
and steel output of the country. Wh:,
has been their proportion in the pas,
two years. the greatest in the iron
trades history. with a pig iron pro
ducticn, respectively. of 25,307.13 and
o5.7S1,3G1 tens? asks the Iron Trade
Review.
The totals show that of 1900, O3t
gross tons of rolled iron and steel the
railroads take about 100000 tons @:
triile under 80 per cent: that CT
some 100000 gross tons of iron ald
steel castings they take Il trihe unde,
90 per cent. and that of the grand
total of all rolled and cast iron and
steel, 26,700,000 gross tons, they talks
100000 tons, or exactly one-third.
There is no question that 10 or /:
years ago the proportion was more
than one-half. Probably it was much
more than half. possibly reaching two
thirds. Indeed, we are advised thai
just recently an official of a prominen,
steel company made the statement
to representative gathering of iro:l
and steel manufacturers that the rail
reads of the country consume about GU
per cent. of the iron and steel
products" That statement was abso
solutely incorrect but it shows how
the old impression has survived
through changes in the channels OF
consumption of which iron and steel
manufacturers ought to have kep:
closer track. The change is due large
ly to the growth of general demand
for the lighter products. Altogether
it would appear that the importance
of railroad buying. as foreshadowins
the future of the iron and steel trade,
is being Overestimated in current
thought.

Bound to Have Greater Speed.

Leading railroads of the country. il
the last ten years, have spent more
than $500, e0s,00e in their determined
fight against time. 1t is figured that
the gain, in all. amounts to something
like Is or IA hours on schedules.
Almost as startling is the assault,
made upon Father Time by grea;
steamship lines. No sooner does a
Deutschland eclipse the ocean record
than rival owners set ont to build n
Lusitania and Mau-etania; whe,
they have captured the blue ribbon of
the seas eager competitors plan even
a might!er vessel with which to wrest
from them the prize. Millions are
lightly regarded in the scales as

THE LIVING ROOM.
It Should at All Times Be "Livable''
Room.

What to do with the living room is
problem that confronts every house
keeper. The living room should be
in fact as we'll as in name a living
room-a livable room. 1t is the room
in which the most of our time at
home is spent. the hours we have for
leisure, the time we have for play,
the place where we entertain our
friends and it is absolutely essential
that the walls and furnishings of the
living room should be harmonious in
color, suitable in texture, and durable
in material.
The rich, soft. solid colored walls
are the ideal walls for the living
rooms. They make a better back
ground for pictures. throw the furni.
ture out in better relief. are less dis.
cordant with rugs and Competing. and
indicate a higher degree of taste and
culture than do the colored mon.
apply wall paper
Who ever saw roses climbing up a
plastered wall growing out of hard.
wood floor? Yet that is what We
! suggest to the imagination when we
paste paper covered with roses on
our walls. They are neither artistic
nor true. Roses are all very bearti-
full, but they were never made to
climb up interior walls and they do
not grow from hardwood flooring.
The set figures of wall paper are also
tiresome and equally disagrceable and
repellant.
The alabastined wall is the only
| correct form of Il tinted or solid col.
orcd wall. Fortunately it is the only
clean way. and more fortunately it is
the only permanent way; the only
way that does not involve the end
less labor in the future.
In lighting the walls some thought
must be given the color. Light cOlors
reflect $50 of the light thrown upon
them. Dark colors. reflect but 1870
Lighting bills can be saved by choOs'
ing a color which will reflect the
largest degree of light. In north
rooms use warm colors or colors
which reflect light In south and
west rooms sometimes the light can
be modified by the use of darker
colors. Dark greens absorb the light:
light yellows reflect it: browns mod
fly it, and SO on. through the scale
Of colors. The color scheme Of a
room not only is dependent upon the
color of the carpetings but it is also
dependent upon the light of the room.
