MODERN JOAN OF ARC
LEADS WOMEN
IN BIG PARADE
Suffragettes Who Have Been
Fostering Delegates Turn
Out at Baltimore

BALTIMORE, June 2S.-Joan of Arc
rode through the streets of Baltimore
tonight. Not the real Joan of old, but
the real Joan of the present-Miss Ida
Neepier. The city enjoyed the suffra-
gist demonstration, of which Miss
Neepier was the central figure.
For days the women have been TAX
ing delegates to the convention by the
lapel of their coats and whispering
into their ears the wonderful things
which will follow if suffrage plank
is inserted in the Democratic plat
form.
Regardless of the results of the
women's campaign, delegates have
found them exceedingly charming to
converse with. and, despite pressing
convention duties, turned out in large
numbers to watch the marchers pass.
And the women were in earnest about
the parade In speeches from auto
mobiles and carriages, by the distribu-
ton of literature and carrying motto
bearing banners they proclaimed to
all who passed the suffragist require
ment of the hour.
w
cause more forcefully to the attention
of the convention city, they organized
a parade, and, led by the reincarnated
Joan, marched through the business
section of the city.
The parade started in Mount Vernon
place and there, at the base of the
monument of the father of their eoun-
try, some mothers of the country and
some daughters made speeches to
mere men who gathered and looked at
them in awe. But the women were
not satisfied with merely being gazed
at They wanted to be listened to
and taken seriously.
If men on the sidewalks had any
objections to the cause of suffrage,
they were invited to mediate debate,
and if they had no objections to it
they were invited or Communicated to
pledge themselves TO talk woman suf-
frage to all their men friends.
There were no debates, and many
pledges. In fact. one man kept in
sisting upon pledging himself to
very handsome woman in a gayly
decorated automobile He reiterated
his pledge so often that finally he was
given a ride in a less pretentious
motor vehicle, and in the morning
Judge will doubtless make him take
another kind of pledge
Miss Neepier, CARRIED in white rid
ing suit, with a great cape of white,
embroidered with gold, rode a large
white horse which, by his prancing
and oavorting made her picturesque
figure. She held at arms length

PHONETIC METHOD

Editor of Oldest Tartar Paper
in Russia Introduces Mod
ern System

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, June ia
recent issue of the Egyptian Gazette
contains an interesting account of the
efforts which have been made by NJ.
Gasprinsky, the editor of the oldest
Tartar newspaper in Russia, to intro
duce among Mohammedans the pho
netic system of teaching children to
read and write. BY the new method
children, instead of being taught to
read by spelling out the names of the
letters OF. the Arabic alphabet, the sys-
tenn used by Mohammedans generally,
are taught at once TO associate letters
with sounds and to form them into syl-
tables. In this way the average child
can learn to read intelligently in 40
days, whereas under the old system
six months or a year were required.
and even then the result left much to
be desired. In theT Crimea, i'm fact,
the mullahs who have adopted the new
system have found themselves COM
PEELED to hll in the time gained by
giving instruction in other subjects.
The system introduced by NJ. Gas
prinsky has already been adopted at
the normal school for teachers which
was established at Constantinople af-
ter the deposition of Abdul Hamid. and
the teachers who are now being train
ed there will gradually introduce it
into the elementary schools all over
the country.
So valuable does NJ. Gasprinsky feel
his system TO be- that during the past
winter he paid visit to Bombay and
established a school in that city Here,

teachers are engaged in learning the

Car Proves Popular Every
Where-NeWs of Local
Auto Trade

The Won Hamm-Young Company re
ceiyed on the steamer "Wilhelmina'
this week. four of the weIl-known
Buick automobiles. The shipment
included one OF the popular $500 10
1000 ID. trucks which are used very
generally for light delivery. and have
proven not only one of the most re.
liable, but also the most economical
cars for delivery purposes. The
Buick truck does the same work gen
orally performed by three light drays,
doing this work in less than half the
time and with less than half the ex-
pense.
Another car included in this Buick
shipment consisted of a model 49,
touring car equipped with a hand
some straight line body, which was
delivered during the week to Mr. Ar
thur Rice Another Buick, a model
"35" touring car, was shipped to the
Kauai Garage Company, and a third.
a model "36" Buick funabout, was
shipped to Messrs. c. j. Schoening e.
CO., for delivery to a prominent bus
mess man on Maui. The model "36"
Euick runabout has proven TO be one
of the most popular of the low-priced
cars. and at the low price of $1,000 it
rs one of the. most reliable little cars
built today. II will stand more. hard
use and abuse than any light roadster
ever offered. II is an ideal car for
the doctor, lawyer. architect and con
tractor-in short, the busy man. 1t is
the best finished, best built, simplest
and strongest car of its class. Sey-
eral orders have been booked pend
ing the arrival of this same model
Buick runabout, the demand being
far in excess of the deliveries which
the Won Hamm-Young Company has
been able to obtain to date.

touring car. which arrived last week,
was delivered by the Won Hamm

One Of the most satisfactory high

for it's system Of three-point suspen

ley's new car is one of the handsom-
est in town and has been very gen
orally admired.
The Stevens-Duryea Company has
had for years an enviable reputation
as to the reliability and splendid
workmanship of its product which
enables the car to stand up under the
most crucial tests.
New kisseIl Truck.
A great deal of interest has been
shown in the new kisSel Kar l " to
2-ton truck, which appeared this
week on the streets for the Oahu Ice
& Electric Company. Ii is one of the
most practically arranged trucks
which has arrived in Honolulu for
some time. The quiet running motor,
easy riding and easy handling of the
truck is a surprise to anyone not &C
quainted with the excellent qualities
of the Kissel Kar.
Another Kisseil Kar sold by the
Won Hamm- Young Company during
the week was the pretty Kissel Kar
Runabout which was delivered to Mr..
K. Ono.
