CCTNHE beginning OF a converse
ton is something like fish

You must make a few throws to
see II you can catch anything. At
first you may fail; nothing comes to
your hook; but by playing your line
skillfully you may land a little fish.

When an introduction IS made and
conversation begins it may be neces-
sary to say very commonplace
things. Simple remarks about OBJ
vious things are not despised by
many worldly-wise and confident
people. Natural remarks about
what is Of momentary or passing
interest may open a way to pleasant
talk.
The first effort IS really to try to
find out the interests of the person
TO whom one is speaking. Some
interest in common may be discov-
cred which makes it easy to go on.
A question may be asked, If It is not
asked crudely. OF course a ques-
ton requires a reply, and may be
asked in a pleasant way to show
that one cares for an answer. Then
the reply may be followed up with
a remark. 1t is important to add
something to what others say IN
order to make interest. If a ques-
ton is asked It should be answered
with something more than a crude
yes or no.
In all conversation the effort
should be to think of others, to en-
courage them to talk, to be courteous
in listening to what they have to say.
We may draw them out about their
own ocCuptions, amusements inter
ests, the books they have read. the
people they have met. the places they
have visited.
1t is said that no ore should talk
more than a half minute without
giving others a chance TO speak.
While it may seem n paradox that
silence is an art in conversation. Il
is quite true, for il means th3t There
is a talent in being silent, IN being
a good listener, in having an invit-
ing, interested manner in LISTENING,
in being amused surprised and truly
responsive.

Business affairs in the Philippines
at present are at standstill awaiting
Congressional action on the question
of independence" said Mr. Mead this
morning. There is a diversity of opin-

upon the welfare and progress of the
islands, but the Americans and for

The first real forensic battle of the
current session of the Territory's SEN
ate came suddenly this morning when
Senate Bill No. IL, restoring to the
mayor the appointiye powers which
were taken from him by the last leg
islature, bobbed up for the second
time, on second reading.
The report of the special committee

the bill, proved favorable and was
adopted by the senate. which later
in the morning took up the passage
of the bill on. second reading. The
senate had already put over the judi
ciary committees banana claims bill
until tomorrow. in order te give the
solons an opportunity to study that
measure.
There was a moments pause when
the president read the measure that
the senate would take up the consid-
Grafton of senate bill No. IL. Hardly

j. S. OFFICIALS
HERE ARE NOT
RESIGNING

Federal office-holders in Hawaii are
not, as a rule, presenting their sigma
lures as the Republican administra-
ton goes out of office.
District Attorney Robert w. Breck-
ons, who announced some months ago
that he would retire on March 4th, is
the only federal office-holder known
to have definitely taken this attitude.
On the other hand. number of the
men in office here are known not to
have sent in their designations,
There has been some question as
to whether. in the event they were re-
tanned by President Wilson, reap
pointment would be necessary. Re
appointment is not necessary, and un-
less they are removed from office un-
der the Wilson regime, they will serve
out the terms for which they are ap-
pointed.
A strong feeling is evident here
that the new president is not likely
to make any wholesale sweep of Off
ce-holders to be replaced by Demo-
Gratis.

CHILD STRUCK BY
WILLIAMS AUTO

William Robert Brown, the six
year-old son of John I, Brown, the
insurance man, narrowly escaped
serious injury when he was knocked
down yesterday afternoon about
$3.50 o'clock by an automobile,
driven by Roy L. Williams the paw
ing contractor. The accident occur
red at Twenty-fourth and Washing
ton avenue
Mr.. Williams was driving north
on the east side of the street to
fire up town when the little fellow
who was watching a coal wagon In
front of him stepped in front OF the
machine.
He had presence of mind enough
to grasp the fender Of the ear in his
fall This fact probably saved him
from severe injury.
His only injury was bruise on
the head.
