Is Your Family Reading "WOrth
WhiIe?"

So much of current reading is
merely entertaining at best that
the question naturally arises, Is it
worth while2 Your sons and
daughters are bound to read some
thing. They hunger for stories
which take them into the other
half of the world-the world of ad-
venture, of valor, of fortune-mak-
ing. The problem,is to give them
such reading without putting into
their hands the literature that is
either silly or demoralizing. The
editors of The Youths Companion
believe that a periodical can be
made entertaining and yet "worth
while, y and The Companion is con-
Quoted on that theory. And that
is one reason why more than half
a million American families read
it. The paper is safe, But not dull.
Its tales of adventure illustrate the
advantages Of fortitude and self
reliance. Its stories of character
lay stress on the truth that right
conduct is never a mistake.

his opinion:
To my mind that man has read
the history of our institutions to
very little purpose who does not
look with very grave apprehen-

a proceeding such as this--if the

authorities should have the power
to select tribunal, If there be
more than one tribunal to select
from at the capital Of the United

citizens OF distant states there to
be tried. The defendants will be
discharged.

Picked Navy Team 8, N. G. H. I.
There We're two mighty good games
of ball at the league grounds yester-
day afternoon and the bleaehers and
grandstand were crowded, mostly with
sailors. The team from Aa1a Park
had hard tussle with the Pennsy but
eventually managed to win out by the
narrow margin of to l.
In the second game the Barry nine
got theirs from the picked team of
sailors. George Clark pitched for them
as Johnny Williams did not turn up
and George was boxed all over the
field. 1t was only the excellent sup
port that the pitcher had in the field
that prevented the Amateurs from be-
ing very badly walloped.
The sailors had terrible gang of
swatters up. Poor old McGinn had his
usual hard luck in being walked twice,
but he got back at fate by stealing
two bases beautifully in one inning
and scoring one of the runs.
The sailors scored in the first. Me-
CHM walked and went to second on
Reeds single, Monroe bingled the
bases full and McGinn came in on an
other swat by Bush.
Two more in the fourth. Bush singled
and stole second and third. Sehaeffer
singled over second base and Bush
romped. McCafferty singled Snakes to
third and the latter came home on a
peach of a hit by Beatty.
The Amateurs scored their one run

AUTOMOBILE DEFINITION.

A newspaper exchange gives this as
a definition of what an automobile IS:
1.-The automobile is large iron and
rubber contrivance for transforming
gasoline into speed, luxury, excitement
and obituaries. 1t consists Of hand
some leather-upholstered carriage body
mounted on fat, rubbertired wheels
and containing a gizzard full OF ma
ehinery suffering from various ailments

form of transportation known. 1t has

THE SCHOOL OF MANNERS.

The institution of school of deport-
ment for saleswomen and other women
wage-earners in Chicago is interesting
as symptom of social development.
How a girl should conduct herself to-
ward an employer and to what extent
she should accept invitations from him;
what her demeanor should be toward
fellow-employes of the other sex; how
she should dress; her attitude toward
car conductors and in public places
these are among the questions of etiquet
in which instruction is to be given to
young business women.
No doubt there is a field for such a
school. The increased participation of
women in commercial life has brought
about new relationships, half social,
half business, to which parlor manners
do not apply. Some surprise may be
felt that the alert PROFESSIONAL staff Of
the University Of Chicago has over
looked the need Of tuition of this kind
and allowed an outside agency to orlgl-
nate it.
But what has become of the American
mother as a teacher of conduct Once
it was in the home that girls learned
how to behave. The principles incul-
Gated may have been old fashioned, but
they served the demands made upon
them. There is no recollection of a
school Of manners for the Lowell fac
tory girls of a former generation or for
the pioneer army Of women workers.
Are the duties Of individual maternal
responsibility to he ultimately farmed
out one by one. The Chicago school of
manners is in some of its aspects TO
doubt joke. But behind it is the
sober fact of a general inclination to
delegate home duties to other hands

Tsnkamoto ran the recent ten-miie
race in which he and Kaoo made such
a spectacular finish.
The actual half way mark was pass
ed in 1.42.01 and Jackson was still
very fresh while the Jap showed signs
of bitter distress. He was actually
limping and favoring his left foot
enough for everybody to notice it. 1t
turned out afterwards that he had
complained to his trainers early in the
race about his shoes and bandages and
they had told him to wait until jack
son stopped for his first rundown. But
Nigel did not stop SO the Jap kept on
going, with his feet getting in worse
and worse condition with every stride.
Tsukamoto Quits.
The score board showed IA miles 4
laps when Tsukamoto stopped. Jackson
kept on running and the judges went
to see what the pilikia was. The band
ages had cut deeply into the Jap S
flesh They had to be cut off. Then,
when his socks and shoes were pulled
off, it was seen that his feet were
badly blistered and bleeding in some
places.
Tsukamoto wanted to quit. After
time he was persuaded to make one
more attempt. Jackson had gained
seven laps when his competitor made
his last appearance. 1t was but flash
in the pan, however, and that one lap
finished the Jap.
Patent Scoring System.
Chief Scorer Reinecke had a new
wrinkle in keeping tab on the time
and the miles, which he states that he
took from the Scientific American.
Wherever it came from it was very
effective and he provides the following
times taken from his list Up to the
end of the fourteen mile Tsukamoto s
time is the same as that of jackson
as he was right with him all the way.
One (this was / mile, 3S5 yards,
7:45; 2, 1885; 8, $40; 4, 7.22; 5, 8:3S;
6, SOP; 7, s:35; s, S:2S; 9, $40; 10,

1923; 10, 1902; 20, 1900; 81, 1920
and two laps of the twenty second mile
in $40.
Jackson seemed relieved when he
was told that the judges had decided
to give him the race. He could have
finished the distance but it would have
been wearisome business. By taking
a rundown when he did and doing
much walking, Jackson seemed to have
lost energy and he said that he was
not feeling in very good form. Had
he been forced to run all the time
there is little doubt that he would have
felt very much better.
Good Gate Receipts.
The gate receipts were excellent and
Jackson gets a good little sum as his
share. Just how much it was is not
stated, nor probably will be definitely
known until this morning when all ex-
penses have been taken into consider
Grafton.
The event was a good one in every
way. 1t kept several thousand people
amused and excited and was well man
aged. The public of Honolulu was just
about ready for such an event and,
while it is very easy to overdo Mara
thon races, match between Jackson
and Kaoo might not be out of order

BRITISH TARIFF PROPOSALS.

as a rule, are to be free. Partly
manufactured articles will be assessed
five per cent: manufactured articles
nearer completion, ten per cent, and
finished manufactures Is per cent.

is announced. is to avoid parliamentary

between the representatives Of vari-
ous interests.
