which he covered himself and, in ad-

on their own account.
Little tots from eight years old,
and up, were requisitioned by their
guardians to waylay sailors and 9th
ers, to stick flowers in their clothes
and practically hold them up for the
money.
The police did not interfere, per-
haps going on the theory that since
the children's natural guardians We're
present there was no violation OF
the law by the youngsters being on
the street at so late an hour.
But evil ideas were inculcated last
might as on many nights previous
and all for the little extra gain Of
money by the parents, while drunk
en- men reeled from the nest of sa-
looms thereby, and language was not
fit for the ears of maidens.
Some careless person remarked
that the lei sellers needed the mon
ey, whereas the facts are that the
sellers of leis make better money
than the average store clerk or book
keeper, especially at fleet time when
sailors do not hesitate to pay several
times the proper price for a wreath
| of flowers. They coin money under
natural conditions and do not need
to bring in their children to be put
in contact with drunken eloquence'

FOR CITY
GARDENS
PHILADELPHIA SUGGESTS THAT
WE PLANT VEGETABLES IN OUR
VACANT LOTS.

Mayor Fern is in receipt of a circular
from what is known as The Philadel-
phia Vacant Lots Cultivation Associa-
ton, which boils down to an inquiry
as to what Honolulu has done, if any
thing, or what this municipality in
tends to do in the way of making good
use of lots in and around the city
which are unimproved and unoccu-
pied
The matter appearing to be one
which the Hawaii Promotion Commit
tee might well attend to, the Mayor,
through Secretary Rivenburgh, has
forwarded the printed communication
tc H. P. Wood, Secretary of the Pro-
motion Committee to do with as he
sees fit.
The .dea of the Philadelphia Vacant
Lot Cultivation Association is to make
use of all vacant lots as vegetable gar
dens, giving agricultural inclined fam
lilies who otherwise have no oppor-
tunity, a chance to raise a few vege-
tables for the market, the growers pay
ing little for the use of the otherwise
vacant lot, enough to make it pro
titable to the landlord and not so much
that it consumes a too serious proper
ton of the small city-farmers pro-
fits
The Philadelphia association wants
all cities to try the scheme and is mag
unanimous enough to accept Honolulu
as one of the considerable cities Of
the United States, unlike many far
away mainland institutions that have
no better sense ttaI to imagine Ho-
nolulu coral isl in the midst of a
waste of waters vii ere semi-nude folks
divide their time between dancing
and padding out to steamships to sell
coral ornaments
Another proposition advanced by a
mainland institution is to the effect
that vacant lots be(used by the muni-
cipality as public Fairgrounds for chill
dren until such time as the lots are
required by their owners for building
or other purposes.
This latter is a matter which to a
large extent takes care Of itself in
Honolulu. In the first place there is
not the same urgeIlt need here foh
play grounds that EXISTS in large and
crowded mainland dities, and, in the
second place Honolulu's vacant lots are
to great extent already made use OF
as piaygl oTuds as Witness the Bishop
lot opposite the Young hotel, the Gore,
at Palace square and King street, and
Z the unoccur;ed piece of property ad-
Joining the building bf e. o. Hall &
Sou, on King sereet, where every day
boys indulge in baseb lll, much to the
delight of noontime 81 ectators.
These are matters, however. which
are not to be lost sisl ht of as far as
the Mayor ana the Supervisors ure
concerned and will, in due course re-
Ceiye careful considera ion.

Until almost midnight, yesterday,
several young girls, in spite of the
Icurfew law, remained on Hotel street,
near Bethel, selling leis, wreathes Of
Hawaiian flowers, to whomever might
purchase them.
One was a girl scarcely fifteen and
another was a child hardly more than
twelve years of age
Their presence was remarked by
numerous citizens. Not that they had
never before been on the streets at
so late an hour, but that, under the
conditions prevailing with the pres
Ience of many drunken men on the
street mentioned, they were especial
ly subjected to insult and improper
remarks, in spite of the fact that
they were supposed to be out under
the guardianship of one whom they
called mother.
Mother" was busy selling leis and
had little or no time to pay attention
to what was being said to her 'daugh-
ters" or what they were saying in
reply to the various types of men
with whom they had conversation.
One of the children was asked in
regard to her age and what she was
doing on the streets at that time of
night. She replied that "it was all
right" as she was with her mother" "
There were two thousand people,
mostly men, on Bethel and Hotel
streets at the time referred to, and
the lei women who sit along Hotel
street, on the Bethel street side Of
CIe Criterion saloon, were more than
busy selling leis to civilians and sail
ors. They had no time, nor did they
attempt to censor the conversation
that passed between the children and
the men who were negotiating for
the purchase of flowers.

Not very much has been said regarding what the boys are go- ing to do but the results of the meet Monday will be startling unless the entries are tripped mp In the prelim- inaries Monday morning. Not in a boastful manner at all. Trainer Lewis expressed himself that for a surety that Harry Mclean will take the mar athon. and finish in better condition than many of the runners will be in at the end of the third mile. What the other two Indian runners will do is not exactly known, until the finish Both Harry Groves and Kennith Good hnl ad for a f1rCf nl1Na in one of the events. and both carry rec ords with them from a poor training track that will hook up alongside of snything that will be made to face them in the Elks contest.
 The Phoenix team will go inde pendent of the Elks' lodge here. having it's expenses paid by the local club at Los Angeles. and will not therefore run for the Eiks' laurels of this city but for the high school colors- Moth ing but pure -unadulterated sport has been the incentive for the boys going. seevral of them going into their pock- cts for their expenses for training and the many little incidentals that are al ways necessary. Trainer Lewis will also be out quite a bunch of money. but he feels that Phoenix has the sporting blood that can come up along side of any in the United States and he has not let expense get in the way to prove that Phoenix athletes are as good as any. The team will go to Los Angeles alone. with only Itself to fight for it's rights, and as Trainef Lewis said last night.

 QUEER ANTICS = Considerable amusement was afforded residents in the neighborhood of Fifth and Jeffer- son streets yesterday afternoon when a Mexican and an American took turns in chasing each other around the block to the tune Of You're a robber.. Don't call me a liar Hit me again. Each of the men took courage and fear alternately and tried to see how hard a thud could be made by the fe- rOcious impact of foot or rock against the others stomach. For fully twenty minutes the men chased each other until the spectators grew tired The last seen of the men was a cloud of dust hiking down the road toward the depot
 A SUGGESTlON-In these days when i. is so dusty the streets have to be wet to the consistency of mud every night in order that they may be decent in the day time. would il not be well for the drivers of sprinkling carts to note such intersections as are not yet provided with cross walks. and cut them out, along the cross walk lines. from the general flooding. One has to wade in mud every night in the center of town where there are no crosswalks. The wetting Of the streets is necessary and there is no protest against it, but the drivers may do pedestrians a good turn if they want to by exercising a little more thoughtfulness.

suieida,s Eaxorits Dawn.

Curious official statistics are pub
lished In Berlin indicating the favorite
seasons for committing suicide in
Prussia. May. June and July are the
"popularr months. Men prefer July,
while women favor May. The fewest
suicides take place In February. Thirty
per cent of the male and % per cent
of the female suicides occur In the
springtime and the next most I'm the
summer, autumn and winter in the or
der named.
Berlin registers an average of twenty
suicides weekly In June. Youthful per-
sons prefer the nighttime for suicide,
while adults oftener choose the morn
ing or afternoon. The fewest suicides
occur Immediately after sunset. Mon
day, Tuesday and Thursday are the
"favorite" days. Phe fact that most
suicides occur on Monday and Tuesday
is attributed to the reaction after too
joyful Sundays. Friday shows the
fewest suicides. because people on the
brink Of despair often recover their
courage in anticipation Of the payment
of weekly wages next day. The small
est number of suicides take place on
Saturday (pay day. and Sunday. al
though the number of women who take
theft own lives on the Sabbath is rela-
lively high. This is attributed to the
fact that women who live alone feel
their loneliness, especially on Sundays.

FINLAND SUMMERS.
Effect of the Famous "White Nights"
Upon Vegetation.

Effect of the Famous white Nights
Upon Vegetation.
The famous white nights of the
north are a most surprising phenome-
non to the visitor from southern climes.
1t is a weird experience. declares A.
NJ. Scott in Through Finland" to sit
for the FIRST time upon a veranda at
midnight and read a newspaper or to
walk home from a restaurant at !
o'clock In the morning and to see peo-
pie still gossiping at the street corners
or strolling along the promenades un-
der bright, clear sky.
A spirit of rest and peace is over all
the earth. The sky is bright. not with
the fiery brilliancy of noon. but with a
tender. gentle radiance. The colors of
the landscape have become softened,
but not blended. There are no shad-
ows save for week or two In June.
when the bright northern sky at mid
night projects faint. ghostlike shadows
toward the south. The sun just dips
below the horizon and no more. There
is no division between the sunset and
the dawn. The same rosy flush serves
for both.
Summer In Finland is, In fact. one
long day. Never a star is to be seen,
and when the first faint star glimmers
in the south 1t is sign that the sum-
mer is past and that the autumn frosts
have arrived.
The long light has a marvellous effect
upon vegetation. forcing its growth at
dollhouse pace. The white nights" &C.
count both for the suddenness of the
burgeoning and for the intensity of
the heat. Land and water have no
time to cool. One cannot fall to be
struck with the enormous size of the
foliage upon the oak and hawthorn
trees as compared to that to whi, b we
are accustomed. Botanists have ex-
planned this as being due to the larger
supply of light. II has sometimes been
suggested that we may hasten the har
vests by the use Of artificial lights.
Nature herself does this for the Fin
nish farmer.
