SILK STOCKINGS

Southern women are paid a pleasant compliment
in bunch of statistics made public on the floor OF
the Southern Merchants convention.
The figures show that women in the southern
part of the United States pay proportonately more
for their hosiery and footwear than for any other
articles of their apparel adornment. In other
words southern women more particular about
the appearance of their feet than any other detail
of their garb 1t is a commercial fact that they
nav more money for silk stockings and buy higher
priced shoes, proportionately, than women In other
parts of the United States.
From, time immemorial poets have praised the
slender ankle and arched instep Of the southern
girl. but never perhaps, before has the testimony
come in statistical form. liza
There are, however, other statistics on dress.
and they throw interesting side-light on the
above facts New York a class, so 1t is
said will let their heels run down in order that
they may save money to buy another gorgeous viii
known fact that women spend proportionately more
for their corsets than for any other part of their
apparel. Partisan working girl of the better
class but of slender means, 1t is stated, will
spend anywhere from So to 81 for corset, and
will make up the amount by fitting. it sim
pie dress that cost five or ten cents yard. The
American working girl of the better class, so
statistics say will spend her money for an elabor-
ate silk dress, and wear 1t corset that cost
1929 or maybe 40 cents bargain day.

ARE DIAMONDS THE HIGHEST
AMRTTION2

Every daily paper that 1 saw today
told of a party given in Washington
city, where the hostess wore two Jewels
that were rated at half hillion of dol
lars. 1t has been the habit for some
years with the ''new-rich' to buy, a. title
with a small son-in-law thrown I'm; but
the current seems now to be setting
another way. It was the diamonds that
took the cake" It was the hostess
that set out a feast and invited the
people to come along and gaze at the
diamonds.
In old times, before the war, 1t was
not considered good form for the hostess
to outdress her guests. She might put
on her best bib and tucker" when she
was invited abroad-but IL her own
house she wore simpler apparel, and so
simple that every invited guest might
feel easy under her rooL in the matter
of dress display.

Sailed a river OF crystal light

The-old moon laughed and sang a song,
As they rocked in the wooden shoe;
And the wind that sped them all night long,
Ruffled the waves OF dew;
The little stars the herring-fsh
That lived in that beautiful sea;
Nov cast your nets wherever you wish
Never afeard are We.
SO criedlthe stars to the fishermen three
Wynken

All night long their nets they threw
To the stars in twinkling foam
Then down from the skies came the wooden shoe,
Bringing the fishermen home;
Twas all pretty sail, il seemed

And folk thought twas dream they'd
dreamed
OF sailing that beautiful sea;
But 1 shall name you the fishermen three:
Wynken

wynken and Blynken are two little eyes
And Nod is a little head.
And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies
Is q ones trundle-bed;
So shut your eyes while mother sings
OF wonderful. sights that be.
And you shall the beautiful things
As you rock in the misty sea
Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen three

TWENTY PERSONS ARE
DROWNED At BUFFALO
WHEN DOCK COLLAPSES

BUFFALO, June "a. = Twenty per-
sons were drowned here yesterday af-
ternoon when big dock in the Mia.
CARA River collapsed. A steamer was
at the dock and the hundreds of pleas
ure seekers were boarding it when sud
denly the wharf gave way under the
heavy strain and fell into the water.
More than $50 persons were precipi-
tated into the water and the awful
struggle TO reach place of safety was
terrible to behold. Men, women and
children struggled in their effort to
swim and the confusion in the water
as they tried to get past each other
was heartrending. Many men fought
like wild animals to save themselves.
Small boats FASTENED to the scene
of confusion to aid the victims and
save as many women and children as
possible.
There We're many who were unable
to swim or even keep themselves above
water until assistance arrived. Tween
ty persons went down to their death
while the other hundred of victims were
engaged in the struggle to reach a
place of safety. Many persons already
in the boats looked on unable to do
anything.
Many of those who were saved were
overcome by the nervous excitement of
the catastrophe and it was hours be-
fore they We're revived by the use of
stimulants.
When the news of the accident was
first telephoned TO the police station
a special detail of officers was hurried
to the scene in an automobile. They
took charge Of the situation and finally
succeeded in restOking order.

LOCAL CAPITAL BUYS
UP CAS- BOND ISSUE

At meeting of the stockholders of
the Honolulu Gas Company which was
held yesterday morning in. the Offices
of Castle & Wilmington the action of
the board Of directors in authorizing
an issue of 100000 of FIVE per cent
bonds was ratified. 1t was announced
that the entire issue had already been
subscribed for by local capital, which
indicates what those most familiar
with it think of its prospects. Two
hundred thousand dollars of this amount
will be used to redeem like amount
of six per cent bonds now outstanding.
The balance will be used in extending
the present plant of the growing COM
pany.
The trust deed securing the bonds has
been arranged. The redemption of bonds
is under sliding-scale premium, be-
ginning ten years from July /, 1919.
The company is planning to make
very material extensions in its system.
Ten miles of pipe for the extension to
Kaimuki has already arrived. Work
will start on this extension the first
of next month. From the corner of
Punchbowl street and Beretania ave-
nue. four-inch main will be run to
Seventeenth avenue, Kaimulsi. This
pipe has been specially constructed for
the gas company and is of the best
quality of wrought iron, which is far
superior to the cast steel pipe now in
use. Moreover, the pipe is being spe-
cially treated with preparation of
asphalt and wrapped with burlap. This
1T is expected will preserve the pipe al
most indefinitely. 1t has been found
that the soil here has a peculiarly cor
rosive effect on steel or iron pipe, and
the company has made elaborate studies
of how best to overcome the difficulty,
with the result that the pipe has been
especially made for this work and is
now being treated and wrapped as
stated.
The Gas company has just compiet-
ed the extension to the whole of the
Kalihi district, and it is planned very
soon to extend the mains to Fort Shat
ter.
The finishing touches on a new 2oO,-
600 Gu. fit, gas holder at Iwilei were
made yesterday and tomorrow it goes
into operation. This increases the stof-
age capacity four-fold "a
