POWERS ARRANGE
FOR CHINESE LOAN

Pekin.-The minister of finance and
the bankers representing the six pow
ers-the United States, Great Britain,
France, Germany, Russia and Japan
have arranged the terms of advances
to the Chinese government totalling
$5O,000000 against treasury bills re-
deemable within one year by the pro-
ceeds of the loan.
The expenditures will be supervised
jointly by foreign and Chinese audi
tors. If the scheme is approved by
President Yuan Shi Kai and the ma
tional council, it will be tantamount
10 a defeat of Premier Tang Shao vi,
who persists in opposing it.
It is pointed out by those identified
with the scneme that the country is
a veritable powder magazine and that
the unpaid soldiers threaten an out
break which can only be avoided by
payment of their wages.

Using a King as an Advertisement.

Using a King as an Advertisement.
When P. T. Barnum invited the king
OF the Sandwich Islands to show In
the city Of New York he was not sat
'sfled with that. which was itself all
advertising card. but he managed by
advising the king to step with him In
one OF the chariots-so as to see better
a certain part of the performance-to
hurry 1t up in a moment of confusion
and sweep the king around the entire
circuit of the track. The papers the
next day had a notice of the king Of
showmen and the king of the Sand
wtch Islands in a chariot race. He
could not have written as good an ad-
vertisement as the racy news item
made. It was a neat exploit, for.
small as the kings kingdom was, his
sense of his dignity as monarch was
not small. and only by indirection and
on behalf of supposed different mo-
tive could he have been induced to be-
come part Of such spectacle.

| HINTS FOR THE
BUSY HOUSEWIFE
Useful and Ornamental Kitch-
en- Window Cabinet.

A kitchen window cabinet is one of
the many step savers that may be built
cheaply. or. if one wants to make nice
piece of furniture of 1t, it may be made
in the style to- match the furniture
with which the home Is furnished.
Instead of the ordinary kitchen cabi-
net this one is built with the top just
below the lower edge Of the window
sill and directly in front of the win
dow, with cabinet with tiers of
shelves on each side and drawers and
receptacles for the cooking utensils be-
low the top or table.
The table should be made wide, and
for real service a top of zinc is to be
preferred to wood, although If a top of
wood is used oilcloth may be placed
over it with good results.

Yellow Writing Paper Easy on Eyes

GLOW writing dFSI lazy VII -ySS'
Oculists have often called attention
to the fact that the eyes are easily ia
tigued by the reflection from white pa
per, especially when the surface is IN
der a strong light. Since green is
known to be the color most restful to
the eyes, it is a COM ION practice to
use wall papers and draneries. Of tina
color in libraries and private studies.
For writing pa! or. however. green is
an unsatisfactory color. 1t imparts a
reddish appearance to the writing and
makes it hard to read. Yellow writing
paper is not open to the same objec-
ton. In strong daylight it is softer
than pure white paper, and in artificial
light is not too dark. Black letters on
a yellowish background show clear
and distinct. Many mathematicians
use yellow paper in figuring long and
difficult calculations. and many writer's
have adopted it for manuscripts

ENGINEERS VOTE TO
CO OUT ON STRIKE

NEW YORK, April 13.-out of to.
tai membership of twenty-five thousand
in the branches of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers represented in
fifty railroads east of Chicago, twenty
three thousand yesterday voted to go
on strike to enforce the demand for a
standard wage, which the conference
committee of railroad managers had re.
fused. A two-third majority was neees-
sary before a strike could be declared.
The engineers, through their repre-
sentatives, have asked that the wages
in the eastern section of the United
States be made the same as that paid
on the western railroads, making raise
varying from two to forty per cent
and averaging eighteen per cent. The
managers refused to consider the ad
vance, pointing out in their replies to
the various notes sent by the engineers
that to grant the raises would cost
over seven million dollars and would
result in actual bankruptcy to some Of
the smaller roads.
Under the present scale the engineer
average $l47 month, while the drivers
of the fast passenger trains receiv,
from 5000 TO 1926 a month.

RETIRING ENGINEER SUGGESTS
THINGS FOR RETIREMENT
AND ECONOMY.

A combination of the city engineer s
office with that of the Honolulu roud
supervisor, with one set of office en-
ployes to handle bookkeeping, time
keeping and detail data, has been rec
ommended to the board of supervisors
by retiring City Engineer Gere. The
engineer also approves of plan to
have the road overseers of the country
districts report directly to the city en-
gineer.
The engineer has also recommended
that the office of building and plumb
ing inspector be correlated with that
Of the engineer, the idea being to con-
centrate all work which is so closely
related. This would include the duties
of curb and sidewalk inspection, but
which would come under the plumbing
and building inspector. The plan is a
move towards economy and efficiency
This is one of the first fruits of the
recommendations of II. Gooding Field

who made an exhaustive and construc
tive report on the city government fol

Traffic Census.
Road Supervisor Caldwell also rec
commended to the board that a traffi,
census is greatly needed by his depart
ment, in order that the department may
know how to deal intelligently as t
the care and treatment of specifi,
streets, He believes that this SHOULD
be conducted for six months at a eos
of $3.50 per month for two men. "With
out this data,'' said Mr.. Caldwell, 9Th
matter of road building can only b
haphazard. If this plan is adopted tn
engineer would then be enabled to out
line a definite program of road build
ing based on actual requirements o
the traffic.
The board approved of the censu
plan and voted the $3.50 per month.

VACATIONS ON PAY
TOO FREQUENT
THEREFORE, SUPERVISORS HOLD
UP LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR
MIR. MIEHLSTEIN.

Vacations at full pay and lasting for
three months are now frowned upon by
the city fathers on the ground that the
municipality is being milked dry by
employees who give only quarters
of years service for year IS pay.
By coincidence, the question of
whether an ordinance should be brought
before the board to limit the length of
vacations, was referred to Deputy City
Attorney Milverton, whose six months ;
vacations in Kona, Hawaii, at full pay,
were condoned by the board last year
when an investigation was demanded.
Building and Plumbing Inspector
Miehlstein is the one now who has
asked for quarter of years leave
of absence at full pay, in order that he
might go to the mainland to try the
medicinal qualities of various springs.
| The request was referred to a commit
tee which last night reported favor
ably. Supervisor Murray, however,
called a halt. While announcing that
he did not single out this case because
it was Mr.. Miehlstein's application, he
stated that the long-vacation matter
was becoming too much of a habit
especially when full pay was asked
He said that the territorial employees
were limited to two months at full pay
and any extra time they took was at
their own expense.
| When the county government was
organized the yearly vacations com
prised two weeks at the outside. Later
favored employees or heads of depart
ments took n month, later on some took
two months and the three months
period had now come up for considera
tion. However, those who have haC
the longest vacations, when all thei,
collective leaves of absence are counted
as whole, have been members of th
county attorneys department.
Thanks All Around.
City Engineer Gere, who leaves tn
department Monday, was voted pay TO
the entire month and was also tn
recipient of number of complimentar,
remarks.
Mr.. Gere thanked the board for it
generosity and thanked the member
severally for their kind appreciation
On behalf of the board Mr.. Murra
thanked Mr.. Gere for his good servic
as a municipal officer.
