MICHIGAN CLUBWOMAN SUGGESTS
WORK FOR HONOLULIrS BODIES

Mrs. Alice A. II. GrawT. who is Wis
iting in Honolulu this Win-cr is per
haps ore of the best-kaown club
ed one of the delegates - the General
Federation of Woman's Clubs in
America at the biennial convention
held in San Francisco this summer.
Mrs. Grawn is an ardent suffragist
and is working for suffrage in Michi-
gan.
Al The biennial she WAS one of Mrs.
Pennypacker's supporters and when
told that Mrs. Pennypacker had made
public the fact that she was opposed
to woman's suffrage. she immediate
ly removed the badge she was wear
ing. For. she SAYS, mo progressive
woman can be. against equal suf-
frage." =. 49,. =
: Though she has long been affiliat-
ed with women's clubs, Mrs. GAVIN
has not belonged to an organization
whose whole work was the helping of
girls. But after attending a meeting
at the Kilohana Club the other day
she said that. she thought the women
who attended that meeting and who
were so anxious to begin the work
OF being, big sisters" would succeed.
She said that the only criticism that
she would make concerning that
meeting was the lack Of parliament
taTy usage. She suggested that the
women should secure copy Of Par
liamentary Usage @fofs Women's
Clubs" Ey Emma A. Fox. This book
takes up the manner in; which meet
ings are called and conducted. 1t is
a book by a woman for woman. II
In speaking of this parliamentary
usage, Mrs. Grawn said AT the
biennial, whenever the president of
the federation stepped aside. from
the parliamentary usage the au-
thoress would rise and draw her at
tention to the mistake. Her reason
for this was that she wanted the
women who we're present at the con-
vention to know that the meeting was
not being conducted strictly accord
ing to the book which 1sthey had
adopted" 90 -
There is need for such book in
the women's clubs in Honolulu for
few of the meetings are conducted

as men would conduct them.
The Ladies' Literary Club Of Grand
Rapids, of which Mrs. Grawn is a
charter member, took for It's first
work the education OF women Mrs.
Grawn said that the frs members
were ten ladies who were we'll edu-
Gated and who were widely read.
They took certain topics and studied
them. Critics were appointed every
three months VINO criticised the pa
pers that we're read. In this way
every member not only took part in
the program but also acted as a critic
One OF the club rulings was that all
criticisms should be taken kindly.
Later new members were invited to
join the club and now all; classes are
admitted. The improvement in the
women was wonderful said Mrs.
Grawn. Women who, when they
wrote their first papers hesitstef and
used bad English in their compost
tions, gradually progressed until they
were ale to write and read cOmpre-
hensiyely." .r- n H..
When told thatzthe women in Hon
olulu wanted closer federation OF
women's clubs in this city, Mrs.
Grawn said that the only way to pro-
gress is to have the clubs closely al
lied and under one head.
Mrs. Grawn has heard of. the Young
ladies here who have gathered to-
gether. a number of the young girls
who have been at the industrial
school. for the purpose OF interesting
them in good things. She said that
she would like to suggest that they
make these little neighborhood clubs
literary organizations. For she says
that when the mind is uplifted the
body will be uplifted. She said that
the girls should elect officers. and liz
erary topics should be taken up.
Girls in other cities have done this
and have been very successful.
Mrs. Grawn has seen many OF these
clubs growing into large organiza-
TONS In fact the very club Of which
she rs an active member has grown
from very small membership to one
where the waiting list is from two to
three hundred. This organization has
a program arranged every year and
every timely topic is taken up and

ception held at the college on Satur-
day evening The program consisted
of songs by the college Quintet, a
sreech from Professor Donaghho, q
Christmas tree for the faculty and af-
forwards slight refreshments were
served. Just before the meeting broke
up the quintet sang the College of
Hawaii Alma Mater.t The quintet,
though a new feature at the college,
did exceedingly good and their sing
ing was commended by all present
The Christmas tree. was the main
feature of the evening. The tree was
in charge of Santa Claus and prior
to the distribution of presents among
the faculty ST Nicholas made a short
speech voicing the thoughts of the
students and concluded by saying that
he now thought it was the students
turn to hand out something to the
faculty as they had been handing
them things all the year. The pres
ents were all comic ones and sug-
gestiye. -. 49,.
The meeting was the first one of
it's kind ever held at the college but

Death of C. A. r. Veteran
WILLIAM II. FULTON.

William II. Fulton, n years OF
age, was found dead at his desk,
in his home, Oxford, Pa, last Sat
urday. Major Fulton has been a
lifelong citizen Of the neighbor-
hood and was one Of the prominent
citizens of the borough. Death
was due to apoplexy.
AS young man he began the
study of law under Thaddeus Stew
ems of Lancaster, completing his
course under Judge Futhey OF
West Chester. After his admission
to the bar the Civil War broke out
and Mr.. Fulton enlisted. He was
made captain and soon after Major
of his regiment as a reward for gal,
liant conduct at Harpers Ferry ana
Anteitam. In 1853 he was taken
| i'll and honorably discharged, but
later volunteered to help in combat
ing Lee s invasion of Pennsylvania.
Funeral services were held III Ok

New Signals being Installed

Work, installing the automatic
signals on the main line p. r. R.
near Pencader Station, is now
thoroughly under way. Over $50
men are engaged laying conduits
and larger force is expected in a
few days. The interlocking plant
at this point is reported as the larg-
est on this division. The operator
in the tower will control signals on
the main line and the switching sys-
TEN Of Delaware City Road and
Center division.
No information has been given
out just where the transfer station
Pencader, will be erected. The old
station was destroyed in one Of the
heavy wind storms last summer. 1t
is thought, however, that the new
station may be erected near the
railroad crossing instead of at the
Center junction. The old depot
was very inconvenient to patrons
Of early morning traffic because
there was no road leading to the
station. By placing the new depot
at the crossing, the necessity for
track trespassing will be avoided.

New Century Club News

The New Century Club met on
Monday afternoon with a very
large attendance. A happy speech
Of welcome was made by the presi-
dent, after which reports of the diff
ferent committees were called for,
the reading of which took up the
greater part of the afternoon.
An invitation from the Dover
Century Club was read, to meet
with the Legislative Committee on
November 13, and Mrs. Lee Cooch
consented to represent the Newark
Club at Dover.
Another invitation from the Mid
dletown Century Club was read tc
send an entertaining committee tc
them on Tuesday next.
1t was decided to change the
hour of meeting from 3 p, m. tC
2.30 D. m. and to have all business
come after the regular program.
A very pleasant hour was then
spent with Mrs. Charles b. Evans
who took her hearers mentally
through England, Brittany, and
Normany, in delightful descrip
ton of her trip abroad this summer
This was followed by the song
"Home Again." rendered by Mrs
J. Pearce Cam and accompanied
by Mrs. Joseph II. Hossinger.
This program was so much en-
loved that it was voted to ask tn
ladies taking part to repeat it be
fore the MiddletOwn Club as OIL

New Site for Creamery

The Newark Creamery operated
by the Dolfinger Diaries of Phila-
delphia will move its operations
from the Dean plant at Deandale
to the b. and o. siding. Mr.. Dol
finger was in town yesterday and
signed agreements with Henry
Steele for the purchase of about
10 an acre of land ON Elkton Road
and adjoining the b. and 0. prop
erty. The change will probably be
made early in the spring. A build
ing will be erected and up-to- date
machinery installed. The new
plant will be so located that the
milk can be loaded direct to the
train from platform of building,
saving expense Of long haul.

dealing with this widespread dis
ease.
For all these reasons. and for
the great reason that ii was within
their means, the commission has ac-
quired the house at Franklin and
Cedar streets. 1t is close to a sew
er, with which connection will at
once be made before proceeding to
fit up the place. 1t stands very
high and is isolated, and yet the
Cedar street trolley line passes it
and the Maryland avenue trolley
runs within few squares.
The commission realizes that
there will probably be objection
from people in the neighborhood,
just as there was to the establish
ment Of Hope Farm. Some per-
sons owning land about Hope Farm
complained that land values would
be ruined by it. Three years ex-
perience has proved that land val
pes around Hope Farm have actual
ly advanced, and that the hospital s
presence there has not affected the
question at all. This has been uni
formly the experience Of all tuber-
culosis hospitals, so much so that a
phamphlet of statistics has been is
sued on the subject, proving that
in no case has the value of real es-
tate been lowered by the hospital.
The commission holds that sani-
tary conditions are bettered by all
tuberculosis work, and it's object is
always to eXalt sanitation and hy-
giene, and to be an example in all
its methods.

HOSPITAL FOR
COLORED CITIZENS

Announcement was made yester-
day that the Delaware State Tuber-
culosis Commission has bought the
old mansion at the corner of Frank
I'm and Cedar streets, Wilmington.
The commission was allowed
$4,000 by the State for housing
and equipment for sufferers from
tuberculosis. Some of this money,
OF course, went toward the housing
at Hope Farm, but half of it was
set apart by the commission to pro-
vide hospital for the colored cit
liens Of the state. Long search in
the country around Wilmington re-
vealed the fact that no farm land
was for sale except at a price far
too large for the commission to pay.
In the country also complete sew
erage system would have to be in
stalled, as has been done so thor.
oughly at Hope Farm.
For these insurmOuntable rea
sons, the commission decided tt
take up the plan that is being trieC
in many cities with success-that
Of hospital in the city itself. A
number Of modern tuberculosis
hospitals have been built in the city
limits; in New York, it is so, il
Philadelphia Phipps Institute is il
the most crowded neighborhood
probably, Of the city, at Seventh
and Lombard streets, and Wash
ington Hospital is also in the mids
Of the city. Many experts u rg'
that in future the hospitals shall
be in the midst of the city, as the,
teach the neighborhood sanitar,
living, and are object lessons il

II. A. Gilbert Closes
Canning Season

flftten thousand cases of "a cans
each OF tomatoes is the record Of the
Gilbert Cannery for this season.
Harry A. Gilbert, owner. is now
very busy making the final ship
ments for the year. Within the
next few days six carloads of can
ned tOmatesw
ned tomatoes will be sent to New
York where practically all of the
local output has been sold.
The quality Of the pack this year
is reported fair but the crop was
very short. A contract for 300
acres had been signed with expec-
tations of average yield Of to 8
tons per acre. Owing to the Sc
we're rain storms during the BIOS
soming season, the crop was cut
down to an average yield Of only
.212 tons per acre. Several farm.
ers in this community have grown
as much as II to II tons per acre
Mr.. Gilbert will enter the next sea
son fully equipped, the local plant
being one of the most up-to-date OF
the peninsula. Modern methods
of sanitary canning have made this
new industry here something Of
which the rural community speaks
with prided interest. The manag
ment will begin to contract fol
next seasons crop early in Febru
ary.

untrled service to be provided bv
the Government.
On small packages, perhaps, the
merchants might save something by
using the mails, but as the govern
ment prescribes that packages shall
not weigh more than II pounds and
must not be larger than a certain
size it would be necessary for the
merchants to maintain delivery wa
gons for larger packages and it is
argued that very little if anything
would be gained by using the par
GELS post system.
RATES OF POSTAGE.
While method of computing
charges for carrying parcels is
somewhat intricate and, it is un-
derstood, has not yet been fully
worked out by the committee which
has this branch of the service in
charge, rates in the zone in which
Wilmington is located will be five
cents for the first pound and l cent
a pound for each additional pound
up to IL pounds which is the limit
in weight.
This will make an 11-pound pack
age cost Is cents for transporta-
ton to any part of the city or to
any point in the zone, or block, in
which the Wilmington postoffice is
located. For long distances the
charge will be proportionately
greater, the computation being
made under system similar in
many respects to that used by the
big express companies now operat-
ing in this country.
In addition the parcels to be car
ried are divided into several classes
which will enable the farmer to
ship small lots Of his produce di-
rect to customers in the city with
out the necessity of selling through
IA middleman. This will accomplish
one of two things-either the farm.
er will pocket the profit that would
have accrued to the middleman or
he will give the customers the ben
eft Of this profit. Ask the farmer.
Postmaster General Hitchcock IS
strong for the parcels post. He ex-
poets it to be self-supporting. Re-
Gently he gave the following illus
tration to show how the system will
work out:
Rural telephones practically
have spread over all the entire
country" he said, "and they will
be used in conjunction with the
parcels post to the advantage OF
both farmer and country merchant
The housewife, for example, finds
that she is out of sugar. She steps
to her phone and orders it sent by
parcels post. If the farmers breaks
harrow or a part of some farm
. equipment, it will not be necessary
for him to hitch up and drive tt
town; he will merely step to his
phone and order the new part sen
by p. P This time saved vii
