this morning and held a discussion

carefully. only one or two revisiOn5
being made ar the morning session,
however. Further changes NAV be
made this afternoon, and the board
may conclude the extremely techni-
cal job today.
Does janitOTS' services, as provided
for in the new budget mean merely
SERVICE or does it include the JAM
tors supplies? This is al important
item in the budget, and the question
proved a tartar to the members of
the neWly-organized board. 1t was,
however, only one of number Of
similar problems the members were
called upon to solve, and which they
eventually were compelled to refer to
the attorney general for legal opin

Guided, BY law, under the head Of
janitOrs'. service, should it come I'M
Ger the head of maintenance, or
school supplies? Should it be under
the general or the special fund. If it
is under the one, the Territory must
pay for the janitors supplies, and
will materially affect the tax rate; if
under the other the counties must pay
Tor it.
D. L. COnkling appeared before the
board today as chairman of the
school committee of the kalihi I'M
provement Club and persuaded the
board to insert an appropriation of
$4,000 for the erection of a four-room
bungalow school for the Kalihiwaene
school. His request was for an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for fourteen
room building, but the board ruth
lessly pared it. down to the much
smaller figure. Mott-Smith is chair
man of the board.

CLEAN
AMID FLOWERS

Il like your beautiful shop and your
jewels are woHderful, but the most
wonderful thing to me is the flowers"
is the remark that visitor at Wall Il
Dougherty's made one night this
week. 1t was early in the evening
and the big shop on Bishop street was
filled with Christmas buyers. And all
around, in among the cleaning show
cases, high on, the wall-stands and
in and around the handsome furnish
ings of this new jeWelry store were
masses and masses OF flowers and not
cut flowers, but flowers in pots. The
scarlet pOinsettia was particularly in
evidence Some of the visitors spent
almost as much time admirinS the
flowers as the jeWclry, Cut-glass or
other ware.
This Christmas season is a
splendid one for u.s." said Arthur F.
Wall, commenting on the prevailing
spirit of good cheer and happiness
in buying that seems typical of the
hrightly-lighted shop. I'VE have, as
YOU know, been in business but a
short time anG our opening stock was
very large, SO that with what we
ordered especially fer the holiday sea
son, We have carried an unusually
large line of goods that appeal to fn1
holiday shopper. Yet the demand has
been great. The Christmas season in
Honolulu has certainly been some
thing for the merchants to. wonder at.
There is of course, always a de-
mand for jewels at Christmas. We
find also that such pretty, delicsTa
and tasteful gifts as gold and silver
mesh bags, platinum wrist watches
and the like are very popular. There
is a large demand for leather goods
this year. and We are glad to say that
our line is not to be surpassed.
MANY people like the idea OF giving
a watch for Christmas. The Hamilton
watch, in which we specialize, is eX-
ceedingly popular. and We carry sew
eral other high grade watches also.
One indication Of the trade we
have been doing is the fact that our

Mr.. Nagoon's legal ability, fail TO I'M
Gerstand why he repeatedly an
nounces that the ordinance has been
declared invalid by the court. The
only attack ever made on the ordin-
ance was made by Mr.. Magoon in the
case of Territory VS. FuTuEayaShi.
That case was decided By the SUI
preme court Of the Territory on the
18th day of June, 1911. The decision
did rot declare the ordinance invalid.
1t did not even make a dent in il, and
since that time the plum bling oFdin-
ance has been in full operation. I'm
der the decision, a small portion Of
the ordinance covering mere matters
Of convenience AMI not essential in

held to be without effect. So little
bearing did this attack on the Ordin-

OBJECTION TOTHE
UPl|fT, CALLED
The Textile Industry Makes
Vigorous Kick at Being
Made the Goat.

Fiber and Fabric, a journal published
In the inter est OF the textile Industry.
reads a lecture to the heroes and
heroines Of the "rplift" movement, and
in so doing brings out some interesting
Industrial information. This trade
journal says:
II any other industry was looked
into with half the malice that char
acterizes the work IN the textile in
dustry. then the 'uplift movement
could be taken seriously. But every
lime the work begins and ENDS with
the textile field. and some of the most
prominent OF the reformers are share
holders in leading mills and the chief
kickers because dividends are not
larger.
They lose sight of the fact that
millions of dollars have been spent by
textile mills to provide houses. re-
creation buildings and grounds for mill
workers. and mills have been fully
equipped with the latest sanitary i'm
provements, and in no industry do
men ana women work under better
conditions as to light, heat and ven
tilation.
"As the leading factors in reform
are women. most of them entirely lack
ing In domestic responsibility. and pos
sessing no knowledge of what the
American home really Is. 1t might be
interesting to compare the mill work
ers with the department store girls
I'VE will divide each into two
classes-first, gisIs with no homes.
and, second. girls living at home In
the mills the average wage Is ABOUT
$40 weekly, in the department stores
the average Is not over So. The mill
girl has no occasion to dress only as
decency dictates. At her work, ser
viceable plain clothes that are mex
pensive are all that is necessary. In
the department stores dress is essen
/ tial, and the working outfit Of de-
partment store girl costs more than
the working OUTFIT Of ten mill girls
When the dress-up time comes for
the average mill girl. she has all that
fashion dictates in keeping with her
position, and she has honest money
20 pay for what she gets. There Is
no occasion to ask whore the money
came from, as with q two-thirds higher
wage and one-half the working dress
cost she has the department store glri
, or the average factory girl outclasseo
from beginning to end.
But the reformers are teaching
girls that mill work is a disgrace, and
native girls are rushing to positions
where the pay is less. the cost OF Hv-
ing doubled. and the moral risk dam
gerous, while the foreign girls are go
ing 20 the mills and saving money
every week In the year. The foreign
girl workers in our mills are rather
poor material for the reformers. Tney
get the real money every week. ana
they are not seriously impressed with
the reform idea that they are over
worked and undorpaid American
girls would make better women X
they would refuse TO listen to the re-
! formers and get back to the mills De-
fore the allen workers land all the
good positions"
