PROPOSITIONS OF LOCAL CHINESE

In answering refer to No. 51S3O-
1894.
April %, 1911
Messrs. c. X. All, Ching Shat, Chu
Gem. Chang Chau, and Loo Joe,
Committee, United Chinese socie-
ty, Honolulu, T. H.
Sirs:
The petition which you filed with
me in December last on the occasion
of my visit to Honolulu was made
the subject of conference with the
Immigrant Inspector in Charge at
Hawaii, as we'll as of correspondence
with him since my return Each Of
the various matters therein present
ed has received my most careful
consideration, and beg to advise
you as follows, taking up the vari-
Gus points, seriatim:
First. 1t is essential to make
systematic and efficient enforcement
of the law that the matter of board
ing vessels touching at the port of
Honolulu enroute between the ORR
ent and mainland ports, or vice YER
sa, shall be carefully supervised, and
the boarding of the vessel allowed
only in cases in which there can be
parties seeking the privilege; 9th
erwise, great confusion would result,
and it would be difficult, if not i'm
possible, to determine in each in
stance that no undeserving persons
had been permitted aboard for the
carrying out of Interior motives.
Such a matter must be left to the
wise discretion of the local office,
and I am satisfied that the Inspec-
tor in Charge is handling it in the
best way possible under the rather
difficult circumstances that exist.
cannot. therefore, see my way clear
to suggest any change in the exist
ing method The Inspector in Charge
understands that the requirements oil
the situation are not to be made the
cause for a practice unduly oner-
Gus or burdensome in any respect.
Second This concerns the matter
of permitting members of the exempt
classes and citizens of the United
States to land at Honolulu while yes
sells on which they are travelling
across the Pacific are in port. I un
derstand that your wishes in this re
spect are being met in the cases n
all persons who secure in San Fran
cisco before leaving this country the
papers showing exempt status o.
citizenship required by the Regula
lions. This subject seems to h
handled by the Inspector in Charg,
in proper manner, the law and reg
ulations considered.
Third It is my desire that a re
turn certificate shall be granted Wit
the utmost dispatch consistent witt
proper enforcement of the law.

GOOD OLD SUMMER TIME.


AS vacation days draw nigh it is
meet that a place be selected at which
g. month or so may be spent with
profit. There is much about Hlleiwa
to recommend it, From the point of
view as a sanitarium there is no bet
tel place on the Islands. 1t has other
advantages also, not the least Of
v hitch is its proximity to the city. AS
matter of fact one may be in the
city and yet out Of it when transpor-
tation and means of communication
are considered. You may be in touch
with the world during your stay at

mechanics displayed in all that was
seen there on those large massive
machines. The same principles exist
and are taught in our power plant,
here in our school, and the purpose
of the trip was to give broader view,
and allow a personal observation of
these principles as applied to larger
work. The company that runs the
uredges are looking for young men OF
education and thought who will see
into the mechanical operation of en-
gines, launches, derricks, drills, and
who will be able to take first places
after they have been shown and tried
out for a while.
Visit Dry Dock.
After making the round of all the
dredges the party returned to the
landing and were the guests of the
former Kamehameha boys for dinner
which was a splendid spread and was
enjoyed by all. 1t satisfied our hun
ger and inspired our gratitude. In the
afternoon we were taken in the launch
to where they were building the "dry
DOCK" perhaps two miles or more
from where they were dredging. Here
we met Superintendent Smith who
placed at our service his time for an
hour or more, in showing the party
around through engine room, ma
chine shop, forge shop, woodwork
ing shop. The operation of cranes,
derricks, pumps, electrical drive, calls
son work, piling, and all the interest
ing things that go to make up the
building of a drydock, even the man
going down in a diving bell, which
was new to all. From here the party
left for Puuloa enjoying a walk of
about mile, arriving there in time
to catch the train for home, that land
ed us early enough to hear news of
the victory of both of our base teams
that were on the field Monday. The
boys who went on the trip should be
proud of the Kamehameha uniform,
whether tx or Gray" as it surely had
a good deal to do in giving them rec
ognition, and a splendid time. Prof.
Collais accompanied the party.

FINE HEMSTITCHING
MUCH IN DEMAND

Perhaps the simplest of the various
forms of fancy neddlework is drawn
work Materials required for the work
are cheap. Linen, fine or coarse, is the
foundation, and fine cotton thread, with
of course. a fine needle, is all that is
required to work with.
The value of drawn work lies in the
labor and time required to complete It,
Hemstitching is employed on all drawn
work; especially is it used for finishing
hens and on infants wear.
Table and bed linen, towels. yokes, COL
lars, and cuffs, doilies. and centerpieces
all require fine hemstitching. Threads
are drawn one way OF the material and
the designs worked out on the threads
that remain.
Many persons find great difficulty in
drawing the threads, having to coax
each thread out inch by inch.
If you have trouble of this sort, try
rubbing a little white soap over the
threads to be drawn. or rub the linen
through the fingers until it has become
softened. Whichever method is used, do
not wash and iron linen before drawing
threads or you will have trouble On
your hands.

CHRISTMAS DINNER SHOULD BE BEGUN NOW

The Christmas dinner begins about
three weeks ahead of the day on which
it is eaten. That is when the mince-
meat is made and put down to ripen.
Don't put your mIncemeat off until
too late. Some good housekeepers wait
until the week before Christmas to make
it, but il never seems to have the rich
ness of flavor which marks that made a
few weeks earlier. Start in time to allow
yourself leisure in which 70 do all the
many details connected with mincemeat,
and don't fail to secure every labor saw
ing deviCe you can in the way of meat
chopper. raisin seeder apple parer and
COrer. The mincemeat will make no bet
ter pies and you will be no better wom-
an because you do everything in the
hardest way. In fact, you will be the
worse because you will be more tired
and more nervously strained.
Get the young people of the family
to help you, if you can, and let them
feel they have a part in the Christmas
dinner besides eating it after 1t is cooked.

ANACOSTIA.

1t is practically settled that the WOm-
ems Relief Corps of John A. Logan Post,
No. 13, Grand Army of the Republic, will
discontinue it's existence and surrender
it's charter to the home ofI1ce. The re-
naming few members who have kept the
work in progress have regretted the ne
cessity of taking such a step, but the
conditions warranted II.
For the purpose of framing some bill
that may be presented to Congress at
its present session, looking toward the
adoption of a curfew law in the Dis
trict, a special meeting OF the Parent
Teacher Association of Anacostia has
been called for tomorrow afternoon in
the assembly room of the Ketcham
School building.
The December meeting of the teachers
and officers Of the Sunday school depart
ment of Emmanuel Episcopal Church
was held last evening in the parish hall,
with Rev. w. G. Davenport presiding.
Rev. Hubert Bunyea, of 1892 Chester
street, Anacostia, has asked the police to
assist him in locating the handbag be-
longing to his sister. Mrs. Southwick,
which she lost in w street, between
Nichols avenue and Thirteenth street, on
Monday evening.
The joint committee of the several
churches in Anacostia interested in the
Sunday closing campaign does not antici-
pate that it will encounter opposition
from the grocers who have signed their
petition because OF the unwillingness of
one. who handles groceries as a side line
to comply with the request. The petition
states that each will be willing to close
provided all do so, but the obstacle in
question does not appear to be of suffi-
cient Importance to change the decision

Three Things Every
Woman Should Know
(Arnie BLY, in the Graphic.)

eff you want long, wavy, and lustrous
hair, use a dry shampoo, for soap and
water fades the hair and makes it
brittle. Just mix four ounces of therox
with four ounces of cornmeal, OF with
four ounces Of powdered orris root,
sprinkle a tablespoonful of this mixture
on the head; then brush thoroughly
through the hair.
"A lovely, soft and youthful complexion
can be brought about by applying a solu-
ton made by dissolving a small original
package Of mayatone In eight ounces Of
witch hazel. Make the solution yourself
and gently rub into the face, neck and
arms night and morning.
For eczema, and other skin diseases,
there Is nothing better than Mothers

and scalds, and the world never saw it's
equal as a cure for coughs. colds, and

bring to the boil stir up the mincemeat
we'll from the bottom every now and then,
that the mixture may be thoroughly
heated. Let the pot boil steadily for four
or five hours, filling up the water in the
outer vessel as 1t cooks away. After
you take it from the stove leave the
crock standing in the water. that it may
cool gradually. When the mincemeat is
entirely cold, cover the crock closely
and put it in your cellar or pantry.
The boiling of the cider not only de-
stroys all possible intoxicating qualities,
but ripens and improves the mincemeat.

care that the water in the outer vessel
does not boil away.

Until Christmas day. Then return to
the molds and boil for an hour or until
heated through, pour little brandy over

NO EXEMPTION ON
DEDENTURE PLEA
Chevy Chase Club Settles
Golf and Tennis Dues.

The members of the Chevy Chase Club
who contributed to the building of the
new Chevy Chase Club will be required
10 pay the additional dues required Of
golf and tennis players. This decision
was reached at a largely attended meet
ing Of the club yesterday afternoon.
The contributors to the clubhouse,
known as debenture members because
they paid in $1,000 cash, became life mem
bers of the club without the payment Of
further annual dues. As the club needs
additional revenue the golf and tennis
dues were proposed In the meeting yes
terday George T. Dunlop and Reginald
Huidekoper voiced the sentiments of the
debenture members, while the other side
was argued by J. c. HemphiIl, A. S
WorthingtOn. Thomas Nelson Page and
Representative Gardiner. The vote in
favor of assessing all members without
exception was practically unanimous, and
1t was intimated that there would be- in
the near future, a charge for care OF
automobiles, inasmuch as it will be nee
essary to erect a garage on the club
property for this purpose.
The election of five members of the
board of governors resulted in the choice
of Charles ]. Bell Lieut.. Commander
Jackson, Gen. E. NJ Weaver, Murray
Cobb. and James Hayden The first
three named were reelected, while
Messrs. Cobb and Hayden take the place
of Fred S. Huidekoper, who is in Eu"

members and was presided over by Mr..

Goldfish Hash-Make the hash by put

cup of finely shredded Goldfish. Season
with pepper and brown lightly in the
spider. After transferring it to a. platter.
pour over it a cup of hot cream sauce
and CRATE a hard boiled egg over the
top. COriginaL)
Ham with Currant JeIly-Take eight or
ten slices of cold boiled ham. Spread each
slice with a thin coating of made mus
tard and a dash of cayenne pepper. In
your blazer put a tablespoonful of butter
and one-half tumbler of currant jelly.
Melt together. Then lay in enough slices
to cover the dish and let them brown a
little. Serve very hot An old English
recipe.
Boston Gingerbread-One cup granu-
lated sugar, one cup sour milk, two cups
of flour, one egg, four tablespoonfuls mo-
lasses. one teaspoOnful of soda, a pinch
Of salt, butter or dripping the size of an
egg, two teaspoonfuls of ginger, one tea
spoonful of cinnamon. Bake in pan large
enough to have the batter in inch deep.
Sprikle white sugar thickly over the top
as soon as baked, and cut in squares.
Baked Beans-Soak one quart of small
pea beans overnight. Drain off the wa
ter in the morning and parboil them until
the skins crack. Select a small potato
and wash 1t clean, taking out the eyes
with a sharp knife. Put the potato in
the bottom of the bean pot. then add the
beans and a piece OF salt pork weighing
half a pound after scoring the rind. Add
One-half cup of white sugar, two table
spOOnfulS of mOlasseS, one tablespoonful
of salt, and a little dry mustard. Put
the pork down in the beans so that the
rind will be level with the beans. Cover
with boiling water and put on the lid.
Have the oven hot for an hour, then
keep at moderate heat for seven or eight
hours, adding hot water as the liquor
dries out. Putting a potato in the pot
has the effect of absorbing the indigesti-
BILE quality of the beans, thereby ena-
bling many to eat them who cannot when
they are cooked in the usual way.
Brown Bread-One cup of corn meal,
one cup OF rye meal. one cup of flour,
one cup of molasses. two cups of sour
milk, one teaspoon of soda, one teaspoon
Of salt, one-half cup of butter or drip
pings. Steam steadily four hours in a
well-greased, closely covered mold.
This rule is about 100 years old and
has been used in one family for four
generations.
