His blood warmed at the thought and
he elenehed his fists. Then he began to

Returning footsteps interrupted his
thoughts. The cabin door opened, peo-

voices.
He strained his ears. At first he
could have sworn that he heard the
soft, low tones of a woman's voice, but
they were not repeated. Hands caught
hold of the box, dragged it across the
floor. and then he felt himself lifted
bodily and. after dozen steps, placed
carefully upon some object in the snow
His amazement increased when he un-
derstood what was occurring.
He was on a sledge. Through the
air-holes in his prison he heard the

cupation when the door opened and a
third man entered Never had Philip
looked on more unprepossessing face
than that of the newcomer, in whose lit
tie black eyes there seemed to be a
gloating triumph as he leered at the
prisoner. He was short, with huge
breadth of shoulders. His eyes and
mouth and nose were all but engulfed
in superfiuous flesh, and as he turned
from Philip to the man and boy over
the box he snapped the joints of his
fingers in a startling manner.
'Howdy. howdyp he wheezed, like

with cushions. Then, with extreme
caution, his arms were freed from I'M

fastened from side to side of the box
across his limps and body, as If there
were danger of his flying up and out

engulfed him.
They were dragging on the cover to

use of his legs. but not the traction of

away came the dull thud of galloping

NEW CHAIR INDUSTRY
STARTS IN HAWAII

The Outrigger club has given the
initial impetus to a new industry >in
Hawaii. Needing chairs for its beach
and spacious lanais, the club got up
design of folding steamer chair
and sent the model to the Hawaiian
development lumber mills at Pahoa.
Yesterday two crates of the new
chairs made of native ohia arrived,
These are the first steamer chairs
ever made of ohia, but already the
industry is started, for the 1nter-Isl-
and officials seeing the new designs
have ordered two dozen Outrigger
ohia chairs for the steamer Mauna
Kea. i1H2
One of the new, chairs was placed
in the window of the Public Service
yesterday and attracted much atten-
ton, many stopping to register or
ders for duplicates for use in their
lanais and on their lawns. The new
chairs of native wood are probably
the strongest chairs of their kind
ever put together-they are intended
to be kid" proof on the Outrigger
grounds.
In the first place the Ohia is so
hard that holes have to be drilled
in which to drive the lacks that hold
tie four-ply canvas in place; not only
that but the Hawaiian hardwood is
bolted together with steel bars. 1t
was the desire of the Outrigger peo-
pie to patronize home industry and
demonstrate that outdoor furniture
can be made at home, better, stronger
and more cheaply than it is abroad,
and they believe that the new steamer
chair will prove this.

MISS BLATOER
PLANS TOSOLVE
LABOR PROBLEM
Soc;oIogist Would Educate the
Children on Plantations to
Do Farm Work

Miss Francis Blascoer, who was
brought here two months ago at the
request of the trustees of the kaiulani
Home and since has instituted the So
cial survey, will leave for Waialua
and Waipahu next week where she
intends to make a study of living and
working conditions.
Miss Blascoer is personally over
seeing that part of the survey which
relates to the women and girls of this
city and intends to make a thorough
investigation of the plantation living
and working conditions so as to gain
a thorough insight as to the mode Of
living of the laborers.
While discussing her trip, Miss Bias
coer mentioned the rapidly growing
generation of children of the laborers
and said that the only solution Of the
problem of what to do with these chill
dren, was to introduce a system of in
tensive cultivation on the plantations
and to teach these children the essen
tials of truck and market gardening.
Miss Blascoer advocates the setting
aside of small portions of land on the
plantations to be turned over to the
new generation which would supply
the manual plantation labor. The
laborers would have their own little
plots of ground to cultivate and would
thus be accomplishing two objects;
supplying labor for the plantations at
the same time becoming small farm
ers themselves and eventually useful
members of the community.
This is the only solution to the
-
and must be. applied sooner or later.
The hundreds and thousands of chill
dren growing up among us must be
found work and this is where 1t must
be given to them, she declares.
81 would advocate the turning over
of empty lots in the city to the school
children where they could learn truck
and market gardening. Then when
they grow old enough, they will I'M
derstand farming and will be able to
both solve the labor problem and at
the same time have homes of their
own.
Instead of spending thousands of
dollars, importing laborers here, the
home product will have to be utilized
and if the planters do not do this
eventually they will be killing the
goose that lays the golden egg"
Miss Blascoer commented upon the
fact that the planters at Waikiki
were using this method and that she
intended to submit her plan to the
planters on Oahu.
