Y.W.C.A. NOTES

While there is apparent apathy in
Y W. G. A. circles there is more
activity than is shown on the surface.
The absence on leave of the general
secretary, Miss Edna O,Harra, was
taken on the thought that there would
be a slight suspension of work be-
tween seasons and during the com
pletion of the new building of the
Young Woman's Christian Associa-
ton, but there are no idle hands and
minds connected with the steady, reg
ular work of the organization.
Miss Edna Porter; assistant general
secretary and director Of extension
work, is supplying the place of Miss
IO'Harra and is performing the duties
in most effective and satisfactory
way and finds no idle moments.
Many plans are under advisement for
the coming seasons outdoor work and
the association will be very active
during the outing months. Prepare
lions for thesa require much thought
and skillful planning in order to in
sure a successful, pleasant as well as
/ a beneficial term of diversion from
the regular vocaticns of life. These
are occupying the time Of the officials
at present. 1t is being done in quiet,
orderly way, and this is the reason
why there is apparent apathy just
now. There is no apathy but much
silent and effective hard work is go
7 ing on.
Returned to Her Studies.
| Miss Edna O'Harra who has been at
home for few days of rest, returned
1 last night to her studies at Iowa
City.
The New Building.
The Y w. G. A. girls are beginning
to look already with pardonable pride
at their new buildiEg-their new
home-the walls of which are now
rapidly climbing upward and giving
vague idea of what it's handsome
proportions will be. In the early sum
mer they expect to move in and will
be proudly at home under its protect
4 ing and hcspitable roof.

BOT
And Pans FOR
PLEASURE
NIIIlI ....@--

Two score officers and men in the
big Kosmos line freighter Ramses,
now at the port where 5000 tons 81
cargo are being discharged have had
occasion today to mourn the loss OF
the chef, who, throughout the long 20.
day voyage from Hamburg by the way
of South American ports, is said to
have faithfully attended to the gas
tlonomic requirements of an otherwise
contented ships company.
The gay delights of Honolulu's
Great White Way. and the allurements
OF Waikiki's famous bathing beach is
believed to have proved too strong a
combination for the culinary artist to
withstand
The usual spread of the rare deli
cacies Of the season was apparent on
the grooming board in the saloon and
the several mess rooms in the steam
ship yesterday morning. 1t was as
dusk mantled the harbor last evening
that the absence of the cook was pain
fully brought to the attention Of the
now unfortunate dwellers aboard the
Ramses
This morning a fairly good descrip-
tion of the cook was given the police
with the hope that in securing the
waterfront and "combing' the beach,
the missing and much needed cog ill
the Ralnses' domestic machinery
might be brought into action again.
This is recorded as the first deser-
ton from this fine new vessel since
arrival at Honolulu some days ago.
The Ramses is expected to remain
here for the better part of a fortnight
pending the discharge of an unusually
heavy shipmentS of supplies and rner-
chandise.

NEEDS
ARE POINTED OUT


The first great need for comfort in
living is better construction in the
houses, and this not from the stand
Eoint of architect and builder, but ac-
cording to the needs of those who
must keep the house in liyable con-
dition.
1t has been said that the last cen
fury discovered dirt. Even the TWEEN
ftieth century seems unlikely to dis
card all dust catchers and holders.
The way in which houses and furnish
ishings are arranged and decorated
probably requires double the time to
keep them clean that would be neces-
sary if more care were given to de-
tails in construction. The household
routes often might be shortened be-
tween dining room and kitchen,
kitchen and pantry, ETC., etc.
A house should be made of durable
material, but above all should be con-
sidered the comfort, convenience and
efficiency of those who are to live in
it. Simple living does not mean a
house without bathroom, for we'll
fitted bathroom may be secured at the
cost of the outside ornamentation
which is put on many moderate-priced
houses.
Few can choose the exact location
of house, but must accept what is
available; perhaps fewer yet can build
or even finish house to suit the
needs of the individual family. But
those who own the houses in which
they live have an opportunity for real
home-making which is impossible in a
hired house.
Many a detached house might be
made more livable by adding piazza
or more doors and windows; while in
terror passageways, slides and dumb
walters would save many steps in a
year. The Kitchen especially, has
teen neglected by the builders. The
position of stove, sink and shelves is
rarely convenient. and the height of
tables, tubs. and sink is not adjusted
to the one who is to use them most.
Though We may not be fortunate
enough to build or rebuild our house,
most of us have something to say
about the choice of furniture. There
is need of a crusade against furniture
put together to sell but not to last.
Excessive carving or ornamentation
where it Will show does not compen-
safe for poor material underneath.
Usefulness should be combined with
true beauty but that is not found in
floral display in the. casting of the
cock stove, or in upholstered furni-
ture with heavy fringe. Whenever a
new piece Of furniture is chosen let it
be worth handing on to another gen

Big TRACT WILL.
BE 0 Pc N E D
TOMORROW

More than $500 acres Of public lands
will be thrown open for settlement by
homesteaders tomorrow morning in a
general drawing which will take place
at Land Commissioner Joshua Tuck
er's office at the capitol building. The
acreage to be opened comprises three
big tracts, the Puukapu, on Hawaii,
containing about 2490 acres; the
Kapaa tract on Maui, containing about
1000 acres, and the Kalaheo tract, also
on Kauai, containing more than 100
acres.
The land on the Big Island is near
Waimea, the headquarters OF the Par
ker ranch, and is said 70 be desirable
for general, diversified farming Most
of the Kauai homesteads are in the
center of tract declared to possess
excellent qualities as pineapple grow
ing land, and is expected to prove in
much demand for this purpose.
1t will be remembered that the ter
ritory has made special preparation
for the people who take the Kauai
homesteads, to encourage them in the
production of pines. Several hundred
acres were leased a few months ago
to hui. headed by the Jacobs Broth
ers, of the California Canning Com
pany, and by Albert Horner, James
Coke and a number of other local men,
on condition that they arect pine
apple cannery on the land with a
capacity to handle all the pine crops
that may be later grown by the home
steaders on these lands. While work
has not yet begun on the cannery it is
said the plans are completed and that
the cannery will be ready to receive
the first crop. The plans are to in
crease the size of the mill and enlarge
its capacity as the pine production of
the district warrants it.
