Use Finger Points.

The Chinese and Japanese call the

it with ones ancestors. Our index fin

The middle or longest finger belongs
to the mother, while the next, or
nameless finger. is the property OF

have chosen this finger, too, for the
wearing of the wedding ring). The
little finger concerns our descendants

get out many fell down stairways and
were bruised.
Several firemen were cut by falling

IS URGED Upon
SECRETARYLANE

That the name of S. NJ. Damon has
been brought before Secretary Lane
for appointment to the governorship
and strongly indorsed by at least one
mainland congressman, is known to
some of those who are on the inside
OF political developments. What
mainland congressman is urging Mr..
Damons appointments not revealed
but there is no doubt vat Secretary
Lane and probably President Wilson
have had before them for considera-
ton the appointment of the Honolulu
banker
Mr.. Damon himself declines to dis
cuss the governorship question and
many Of his friends doubt if he
would accept the appointment for the
reason, they say. that he IS carrying
heavy business sponsibnfties and
might not feel that he has the time
to devote TO public affairs that the
governorship demands.
L. f. Pinkham's name was brought

To Pinkham as gubernatorial possi-

those here who know him and are fol-

DISPOSITION OF
TROOPS PLANNED
BY GEN. FUNSTON
Message Received Saturday
Gives List of Companies
r Now En- Route

Definite word as to what troops are
now on the way to Oahu on the
transport Thomas, has been received
at department headquarters, and the
disposition of the two companies of
coast artillery and one signal corps
company at present on the high seas
has been tentatively decided by Gen.
eral Funston.
A cable message received here last
Saturday afternoon stated that the
104th and 143rd companies of coast
artillery, Company E of the signal
corps, and 900 recruits for the infan-
try, had been dispatched on the
transport, which is due to arrive here
next Saturday or Sunday.
The coming of the new companies
of coast gunners will make some
thing of a shake-up among the or
ganiZations already here.
The 55th was recently designated
as mine company" said General
Funston this morning, "but one of
the two now on the day, the 104th,
is a regular mine company, and will
act as such here. The companies al
Notifications, so the plan is to make
the 55th and 143rd companies into
siege gun organizations. One of
these will be stationed at Fort Ru-
ger and the other at Fort Kamehame-
ha, and they will of course have to
go under canvas for the time being"
The plan, as outlined by General
Funston, will necessitate the trans
fer of the 55th company from its
present station at Fort De Russy to
either Kamehameha or Ruger. 1t
and be drilled with the 5-inch siege
guns and the howitzers with which
the 105th and 159th companies had
target practice at Schofield Barracks
last year.
It is the intention to send the sig
nal company to Fort Shafter for the
present.
81 haven't heard whether the COM
pany is bringing its horses and heavy
reels and equipment
along" said General Funston. eff it
is it will complicate the problem of
finding proper station. Much OF the
equipment of signal company
would be needed only for work over
a very EXTENDED territory, where
many miles of telegraph and tele-
phone lines have to be laid. Not all
of this is needed on Oahu, and |
rather hope the company has left
its heavy stuff behind"
Eight Companies Now.
With the arrival of the 104th and
14Srd companies, the coast defenses
of Oahu will be garrisoned by eight
companies of coast artillery, this be-
ing only two less than called for by
the plan of the general staff for the
permanent garrison of Hawaii.
The big gunners will be distributed
