ASYLUM GROUNDS
BEING ENLARGED

Work of extending the grounds of
the insane asylum at Kalihi was begun
today and will be rushed to a rapid
completion, according to Acting Gov
ernor Mott-Smith.
1t is proposed to take out the pres.
ent jog existing in the road and put
all the lands into one Enclosure, as,
according to the acting governor, the
present grounds are too small and con.
stricted for the inmates.
Il is also planned to substitute wet
farming for dry-cropping as has al
ready been done in substituting tarc
for sweet potatoes.

NuuANu AVENUE CONTRACT.

Work of completing the paving Of
upper Nuuanu avenue is likely to be
started at once. Manuel Picanco, who
submitted the lowest bid ($7OO5), this
morning filed the required bond in
half the amount with the Home In
surance Company as surety.
The bond will probably be formal
ly approved as soon as the supervi,
sors meet, and on the strength of
this it is understood that the contrac,
ter is preparing to start work imme,
diately. The Specifications call for an
oil macadam road on the Eva side OF

the decision being in favor of the
defendant
The suit was brought in 1900, Dec

had fraudulently transferred to his

that there is no evidence of inten-

to Mrs. Foster was merely the act
of bridegroom in love with his wife
the Fosters having been but just mar
ried when the transfer was made. The
case arose from the celebrated Ka

the book written by DR.. Scott Nearing

which they say:
Having chosen To build battleships and

portance of these occupations
Upon due consideration may it not APP
pear that the developmnt of high quality
manhood and womanhood is, after all,
one of the most important activities In
which "A nation may engage?
Men have even concluded because
women could not build battleships. mine
coal nor make steel that they were in
ferior to men.
But wait, What part does the making
of character and happiness play in the
life of "A nation? Perhaps, indeed the
whole future of the republic lies within

there that the new generation is born

TO BOOM CLASSIC DANCES.

On the other hand societies have been
born TO increase the dancing of classic
dances 1t is pointed out that. in appre-
citation at least, a classic dancer must
be a musician, a painter. a sculptor and
a poet; know history and legend and
human anatomy.
This would. therefore. viewed from any
angle, seem to be worth while.
But only a glance at the objects of
the Girl Pioneers of America is required
to assure one that great and good
work has been undertaken by Miss
Beard and her associates.
Mrs. Philip Van Valkenberg. frequently
described as the $lO,0oo.0o0 widow" was
reported as saying i'm an interview a short
lime ago:
There are precious few poor women
who don't act on the gospel of marrying
for money if they get a chance
There u.s. however. nothing in favor OF
marrying for money in the constitution

Intensity Their Senses and All Their

The Girl Pioneers of America organiza-
ton is as helpful and practical as the

it is to girls what the other movement is
TO boys.
1t gives The outdoor life. the outdoor
sports 1t inspires girls to live brave,

become noble, dependable women. 1t gives
them a code of honor for their intercourse
with one another and with people gener-
ally.
The word pioneer is full of meaning q"
continued Miss Beard full of bracing
exhilarating thoughts of bravery of he
roism, of wild adventure. Of strength and
power.
"All the sturdy endurance. the quick
resourcefulness, the fine courage of the
wives and daughters of our early pioneers
rise before us when we talk of the Girl
Pioneers"
Miss Beard explained that the Pioneer
movement was intended to keep alive the
memory of the wives of our forefathers
and to remind girls that our national de-
velopment is still dependent upon the
simple virtues that upheld its infancy.
Many books have been written. she said,
and many societies have been formed for
the preservation of the houses of the
founders of the nation, of early furniture,
earthenware and other inanimate relics.

Pioneers come forward to revive and give

Undoubtedly Miss Beard is right. The

birds will go barehpaded before she will

A REFRESHING KIND OF CLUB.

some of them only approximately worth
