LEGAL Option Bill.

been hanging nre ever since the Legis-
lature got together this year. though
the Anti-saloon League, Wnicn is back

proposition had enough votes to carry
it through.

last year the bills amending the law,

the persistency Of femininity will cause

SUFFER IN SILENCE

Imagine the pangs of the silort-waist-
ed woman who insists upon the corset
designed for the tall and slender be-
cause she wants Ito look like that.'
There are well-deyeloped women who
absolutely refuse to be shown the cor
set for the stout: they make the one
concession OF taking their own waist
size.
There was never in the history of
eostuming such need for corsets, and
the cOrsetier has on his shelves ridic-
ulously numerous stock-500 different
corsets sounds almost unbelievable. but
true. Manifestly there is no longer an
excuse for the proverbial raw spine"
of the French girl, which is quite too
agonizing to mediate upon.
Whether you live in comfort or in a
wise depends upon yourself. Even the
longest skirted French garment Is built
with extended bOning or with bones
reaching only to the long-accepted hip
length; 1t is not intended that any
woman wear bones below the line of
comfort for n sitting posture.
Let me repeat that If bones, at any
given point, are too long they are snip
ped off: If they press on any Of your
own bones they are moved backward or
forward. And what. pray, could be more
modern than this altering while you
watt?
The One Who Knows is in position to
be OF all possible assistance TO the cor
seted multitude: she admits the fallacy
OF each woman's comfort in every
other Womans corset. To the objector,
her watchword will always be "the fit

the Dutch collar is the only fashion
which will. with any certainty. continue
to reign. Rumor whispers that the long
sleeve is to go: that the high waist is
to be heightened: that the capuchon is
forever past, and that hats viii become
smaller and smaller. What q marvellous
thing is this fashion! One woman in
Paris will admire certain style, and at
once it is the rage. Copies will be seen
in the cafes. in the Bots. in the tea
rooms, on the Rue de Rivoli and on the
boulevards. Then the originator must
seek for something less hackneyed. and
it, too. will soon be worn by every one.

D0INGS, OFFICIAL
AND OTHERWISE

Superintendent Campbell states that
he expects to complete this week the
widening of Alapai street between Ho-
tel and King. This will do away with
bad piece of street.
The superintendent of public works
has also taken up the matter of a road
to the United States naval reservation
at Pearl Harbor and surveyors will be
in the field this week.
The superintendent of public works
has signed contracts for the 20,500 feet
of wood stave pipe for the Kula pipe
line. Next week he viii advertise for
bids for laying the steel pipe.
The contract for the construction of
four of the twelye-room wards of the
Kalihi hospital has been awarded to Ira
Eskew, whose bid was about $4,000.
The work of dredging the Hackfeld
slip is progressing rapidly. The Kuih
pond at Iwilei is being filed with the
material taken from the slip.
Yesterday afternoon Superintendent
Campbell issued instructions that a
party of surveyors be sent as soon as
possible to Kauai to subdivide the Piwi
lands into ten-acre lots. These lots
will later be thrown open to homestead
ers. The land is said to be some of
the best IN the territory.
1t now appears probable that in
short time the public may have an OPP
portunity actually to feast its eyes on
that famous high lift pump that some
were beginning to believe was only
myth. The foundations for the pump
are nearing completion.
The sewer collections from June 30
to yesterday totaled $26, l02 and the
water rates collected amounted TO $685.
700. Superintendent Campbell states
that there is only one water rate de-
linquent on the books now and he ex-
pected to get him before the end of the
year. The collections this year have
been considerably in excess of those of
any previous year.

NO APPOINTMENT
PROBABLE THIS YEAR

The fact that no cablegram was re-
ceiyed from Washington yesterday an
nouncing the appointment of successors
to former Federal Judge Woodruff or
former Supreme Court Justice Wilder
probably means that no appointments
viii be made until some time IN Janu-
airy.
Congress took its recess yesterday,
adjourning over the holidays, and had
it been the intention of the President
TO send down nominations in time TO
have them acted upon before the law
makers went home to play Santa Claus
to their children and constituents, word
would probably have been received here
Yesterday as to what action was taken.
The fact that no word was received
probably indicates that nothing was
done and that no appointments will be
made this year.

AGREEMENT FOR
SURVEY SIGNED
Force OF Map-Makers Has Left
San Francisco for
Honolulu.

The contract or agreement between
the United States and the Territory of
Hawaii for Typographical survey of
the Islands and the making of a series
of maps of Hawaii has been signed and
force of ten men from the geological
survey is already on the way to Ha-
waii to take up the work. The agree
ment was signed in Washington on De.
cember by George Otis Smith, direc-
tor of the geological survey. 1t was
received here ON the Hilonian and has
been signed by Superintendent Marston
Campbell, acting for the Territory in
the matter.
The terms of the agreement are, in
brief, that the preparation of the map
shall be under the direction of the di-
rector of the geological survey. The
superintendent of public works is to
determine what parts of the Islands
shall be first mapped. The maps are
TO exhibit the photography, hpyso-
graphy, and public culture and all town
boundaries at the time of the compile
ton of the map.
The Territory is to pay the entire
expense of the work, inluding salaries,
subsistence, field expenses and the
transportation both ways of the instru-
ments which the federal government
agrees to send to the Islands-to the
extent of $4,000, more or less.
The mapmaking force that sailed
for Honolulu on the Mongolia includes
four topographers, a Junior topograph-
er, level man and his recorder. They
will begin their work on Kauai and it
is expected that the work on that island
will be completed by next June. The
first work will be done in the Kapaa,
Anahole and Kamalomalo section. As
fast as the maps are finished, the de-
partment of public works will get
Photographic copies of them. The en-
craving will be done in Washington.
The chief of the survey party bears
the appropriate name of Birdseye. He
is considered one of the best men in the
geological survey.
