Labor
All Right Now

A report was received in the House
today from the committee on agricul-
ture, promotion and immigration on a
resolution introduced by Alfonso on
February 16 relating to the hundreds
of laborers procured from the Philip
pine Islands for agricultural work in
Hawaii.
In part the committee finds as fol-
lows:
That the acquisition of the Philip
pines. "is conducted by the Hawaiian
Sugar Planters Association legally
and at this time much more carefully
than in the earlier days of the immi-
grafton. The only fault to be found
now is the great preponderance of
males. The islands are now well pro-
tected from any disease likely to be
brought by these laborers as they are
all carefully inspected by the U. S.
authorities before being shipped from
the Philippines.
Filpinos Average Well.
'The overwhelming weight of the ev-
idence gathered warrants the finding
that the Filipinos are people of aver
age character, usually peaceable and

1t would seem that trouble is brew
ing on the Zealandia among the steer
age passengers, as they wish to go
ashore, and are venting their annoy
ance at regular intervals. They
wanted to know why the first and Sec
ond cabin people could go ashore and
they could not. 1t was class distinc-
tion-that was what it was-and they
resented it, very much. They made
a demand that the health authorities
be communicated with, and asked
whether they could not allow them to
go ashore.
The federal authorities were com
municated with, and after about an
hours delay, a negative answer was
given. There was another outburst

A PIebeSCite
Is Proposed

The House this afternoon resumed
the consideration of the Fairchild land
resolution. A new turn was given TO
the discussion by proposal to amend
the resolution by having it submit
ted to a plebiscite, to be held on
August 29. Debate on this and other
features of the resolution occupied
the afternoon of the closing day of the
session, up to the time of The Star
going to press.

Along American Lines.
Senator Judd expresses it as his
opinion that the present legislature
has done more to establish govern
ment here along traditional American
lines than has any preceding legisla-
ture, which is as it should be, for,
he declares, each legislature is broad
er, better wiser and more capable
than the last learning by the mis-
takes Of its predecessor and seeing
clearer what is best for the islands
generally.
He considers the writ of error in
certain instances an advance in jul
dietary affairs, bringing Hawaii among
the leading states in such legal mat
ters.
The clearer definition of the func.
tions of city and county, or county
and Territory, is another accomplish
ment which makes for better and
greater Hawaii.
Then it must be remembered that
the drastic emigration laws are some
of the most important of the session
designed as they were to keep labor

most of the immigrants. On the plan
tations they show fine spirit by their
interest in athletics and are encour-
aged in all sorts of field and track
sports, more especially perhaps by Mr..
Andrew Adams, manager of the Ka-
huku plantation. That they are eager
to learn English and are devoted
to baseball we consider good signs
of assimnation. Then, too, their buoy
ancy may be somewhat due to the
fact of their Spanish oppression and
lack of opportunity in the -ppines.

nationality amongst plantation lab
orers, which is most desirable"

feel that there will be trouble before
the boat sails, as passengers are
again stating that they will go ashore
in spite of everything.
They are lined up about the bows
of the boat, and seem to be looking
for an opportunity of slipping ashore
down the mooring ropes. Some of
them have received the passes from
the cabin passengers and have got
ashore that way Two of the men
slid down the mooring rope, but were

A City,s Flower Farm.

San Diego, Cal. is the only city in
the United States that has munich
pal flower farm started with the aim
Of providing floral and horticultural
exhibits for the Panama California
international Exposition in 1915. The
city officials, who are promoting the
farm, found they could save hundreds
OF thousands of dollars by utilizing the
l,700-acre tract in Balbo Parka to
grSw flowers, and 1t is expected many
millions of plants will be ready in two
years.
The farm already has 100000 ger.
an1ums, as many red roses, white
roses and twenty acres of California
golden peoples. It has 100000 palm
trees. The park consequently has be-
come the most beautiful in colors and
flowers in the country and thousands
of tourists have made it a point to
visit San Diego just to see the flower
farm.

Passing Of Village Traits.

We spoke lately Of the abolition Of
che wooden awning In down-state
towns as being the disappearance Of
one distinctive touch in individuality
In the older cities of Illinois. From
several quarters the answer has come
to US, regretfully but firmly, that pic
turesque as the old awnings may have
been they were out of date and in the
way.
So they must go. And now Spring
field has passed an order that team
sters, who have occupied stands on
the court house square since the days
when Springfield was village, must
take away their teams. The court
house, by the way, is the old State
House in which Abraham Lincoln
served his terms In the Illinois gem
eral assembly. The change, we sup
pose, is inevitable. Things that make
the life OF a small town impede the
efficiency of a larger city. Yet here
again we are sorry to see the horses
leave the square. They brought back
the days Of the '60s.-Chicago Even

GREAT VARIETY IN COLLARS
New Models IN Profusion, and Many
Old Ones Retain Their
Popularity.


A large variety Of fall collars is be-
ing shown for fall. While the newer
models do not show the regulation
sailor collar, many are made with the
new shaped sailor, which almost
reaches to the waist line, but is con-
siderab1y narrower than the old style.
Large round collars and pointed col
lars are also much in evidence.
Hoods and hood effects are meeting
with considerable success. Some of
the coats have the collars made SO as
to have an adjustable hood which can
be used to cover the head when de-
sired. When unbuttoned II forms a
sailor collar
Double collars, consisting of a deep
cape collar coming over the shoulders
and a small rundown collar, usually
Of another material, are also seen in
the lines. While the majority of coats
have the rundown collar, few are
made with the standing military col
lar.

Cleaning Black silk.

One Of the cleaning processes for
black silk that is far from being
widely known is the coffee method. It
ls as follows: Boil some coffee until
there is no further aroma rising there
from. Lay the silk article that is
to be sponged on table or board and
sponge on the side that is to show.
After the sponging is thoroughly
done turn On the wrong side and iron
with fairly hot iron, preferably one
that Is kept at a constant heat such
as the gas or electric iron variety,
though the other will do If rapid
changes are made and those changes
are as often as necessary, say, minute
intervals. This will remove the spots
far oftener than the malt liquor
process that has long been the fash
ion, and not only will this give tone
to the black materials but make the
articles texture appear new. Let dry
slightly before ironing.

Staryes Self Fifty Years.

A strange case of a brothers fifty
years voluntary starvation was
brought to light lately by the death,
near Lucerne, of a Swiss shepherd,
named DangeH. Dangen, who was
seventy-seven years of age, was found
lying on some straw in a barn. He
was In the last stages of exhaustion,
and was starving. My papers are
correct" Dangeli told the farmer.
You will find that I am wearing three
suits Of clothes. In each of the suits
are pockets in which you will find al
together S6,400 in notes and shares.
For fifty years have worked in
France as a shephaea, and saved al
most every penny OF my earnings for
my sister. I walked from France to
Lucerne so that she will benefit by
every farthing Of my savings" The
money was found on Dangeli, and
given to his sister. She believed him
to have died long ago.

COTTON TREES OF BRAZIL
Pods Contain Long and Strong Fiber
Good for Blankets and
Cotton Irvine.

There are indigenous to Brazil and
growing wild in certain regions two
well-known species of trees which are
of interest to the commercial world
because of their possibilities as pro-
ducers of cotton fiber. To those who
know the cotton-groWing industry as
it exists in the United States and IN
ing produced from trees presents a
decided novelty. Not the least re-
markable fact about these trees is
their occurrence in precisely those
regions where it has seemed to be I'M
possible or at least difficult to grow
ordinary cotton. No other country in
the world possesses SO large an area
of land which may be utilized for the
growing of cotton as does Brazil and
that in other areas it is possible to
cultivate trees for the production OF
cotton fbers must appeal to the tex
tile-producing world as indicating that
Brazil must be reckoned with as q
future source of large quantities Of
the worlds cotton supply.
One of these trees is called Bar
raguda," from it's being barrel
shaped, after the peculiar, swelled
trunk which is it's characteristic. The
tree grows twenty five to thirty-fve
feet in height, tapering from the great
bulge in the trunk to very slender
one, from which branches form about
twelve feet above the ground. The
trunk is entirely covered with hard
and sharp thorns. The pods in which
the cotton grows are five to eight
inches long and two to four inches in
diameter The fiber is coarse and
white and Yadheres closely to the
seeds, which are somewhat smaller
than peas. 1t is a long and strong
fiber, and while too coarse for use
in textiles Of any degree of fneness,
it would lend itself admirably to the
fabrication of blankets, cotton Irvine,
and a large variety of other mate
rails.
The habitat of this tree is in CEN
trail and southern Bahia, and it grows
to a lesser extent in the State of
Pernambuco.-Cons Reports.

BARYTEs A USEFUL MINERAL
Greater Part of the Production is oseo
In Manufacture of Mixed
Paints.

Barytes, or barium sulphate, !s
heavy crystalline mineral, white when
pure. which is very little affected by
acids. alkalies, or corrosive gases. IN
1910. according to E. F. Burchard OF
the United States geological survey
che United States produced 42,9|5
short tons, valued at $121,746, a con-
siderable decrease as compared with
the figures of 1909. Barytes is an in
eeresting and useful product. By far
the greater part of the mineral pro-
duced, says Mr.. Burchard, is con-
sumed in the manufacture OF mixed
paints. 1t is not satisfactory as pig
ment If used alone in oil, for its crys'
Galline nature renders 1t too trans
parent to give good hiding power, and
20 be of any advantage. 1t must be used
On only moderate percentages in mixed
paints. which consist principally of the
lead and zinc-white pigments. Its use
as an adulterant in white lead or In
any other pigment or comomdlty ts
not legitimate and should be discour-
aged by the producers. There are suf-
dcient legitimate uses for this valuable
mineral to create healthy market for
1t II properly handled. Barytes is
used alse In the manufacture of litho-
phone, a very white pigment that is
suited most particularly to interior
use and is employed in enamels and
wall finishes. Barium salts are re-
ported to be used in brickmaking in
order to overcome the efflorescence of
bricks.
Other uses for barytes are in the
manufacture of rubber, wall paper, as
besto5 cement, and poker chips and
In tanning leather.
