MAY
TAKEOVER THE
filipino BUREAU

The members of the employment
committee Of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association met Monday after
noon with Chairman r. J. Pratt pre-
siding. The others present were n.
f. Ge.1ge, E. O. White. Alexander
Pratt and Secretary A. E. Larimer.
The report for December showed that
IL men and boys applied for assist
ance in securing employment, Of which
- were placed by the association
Others found employment through
their own initiative and the rest were
referred to the Salvation Army.
The problems of the Filipino en-
ployment bureau were discussed at
length, and the committee came TO
the decision that it was an absolute
necessity to maintain the bureau un-
til March l, when the Methodist
Boari Of Missions expects to take it
over in connection with the Filipino
Mission. A motion was passed that
the matter be put before the labor
committee of the Hawaiian Planters
Association. But $35 is all that is
needed to carry on the work Of the
bureau until March /. and it is thought
that no difficulty will be experienced
in arranging for its maintenance.
The problem Of relief employment
for those men able TO work, but who
can find nothing to do, was taken up
and a motion passed recommending
that the Salvation army take charge
of this work through its Industrial des
partment. The Y NC. A. would be
gIa.i to cooperate through its en-
pioyment department, but believes
that the, Salvation Army. is the best

After arguing the subject at length,
pro and con. the board of supervisors
at its meeting last night decided to
streets in the so-called Laimi district,
Nuuanu valley, upon its own initia-
tive, rather than upon the petition of
property-Owners.
At former meeting petition
from the propeTty-owners was sub
mitted requiring the supervisors to
make the improvements, but as tech
nical points were brought up last
night by Deputy City and County At
torney P. L. Weaver to the proceed
ure as contemplated by the petition,
quickest course would be to do the
work on its own motion, as allowed
and provided for under one of the
two new frOntage-taX laws.
J. T. Taylor. one of the men most
active in the district for the improve
-ment CT the streets, did not object to
this decision. He was present at the
meeting and took leading part in
the discussions. What he wanted, he
made it plain, was that the work be
done as soon as possible. He urged
that the county engineer be instructed
to proceed at once with the prepara-
ton Of the necessary data so that it
would be ready by the time the pre-
limfnaries are disposed Of.
The supervisors all seemed in favor

ORDINANCE TO
NUMBER HOUSES
ALMOST READY

i p. L. Weaver, first deputy city and
county attorney, will soon have the
ordinance regulating house numbering
in the city completed. 1t will then be
introduced before the board OF super
xisors. .@--s @
The aim of the ordinance is to have
all houses REMEMBERED according to a
general and uniform plan, and to re-
quire all householders to put their
residence numbers in conspicuous
place, and to have them all of a uni
form size. 81.
Many complaints have been received
by the supervisors on the indifferent
way in which houses are numbered in
the city and the almost hopeless task
of locating a structure from number.
The city needs an ordinance uni
formly numbering every house. We
plan to work this out on an intelligent
and tested basis so that there will be
no difficulty in locating place by a
number Half of the homes in the
city are not numbered"

 SUF AGE NEWS

CA. e. Porritt.)

The fact that the Rules Committee has determined that the Woman Suf- frage amendment to the United States Constitution shall be voted on in Con gress in the near future gives great encouragement to suffragists all over the country. Hitherto it has been impossible to get the Lower House at Washington to regard this amendment seriously The Senate has voted on it. Last session it obtained major ity in the Upper House, though not the requisite tWo-t thirds majority The. friends of woman suffrage are propor-. tionately more numerous in the Senate than in the House; but whatever the vote may be this first time that the House of Representatives votes on the question the country, will know that the question has arrived at the point where it is in practical politics, and that there will be no rest for either Democrats or Republicans until the question is settled right
 No one can possibly imagine that an adverse note In either the House or the Senate will end the woman suf-. frage agitation especially in. view of the fact that where women are already voting there IS solid majority in ia -Yor of extending the right to women in the other states. That the votes accepted as final by unrepresented women is unthinkabIe especially in view Of the eyer increasing agitation for woman suffrage all over the Unit ed States, and the fact that there is no agitation whatever for the with drawa1 of the suffrage from women in any one of the eleven states, where women have full suffra re. and that in Illinois, where they enjoy presiden- tiaI and municipal suffrage there is an immensely strong movement for the full enfranchisement of the women.
 Women in Public Life' is the title of volume recently published by the Academy of Political and Social Science whose headquarters are in Philadelphia. It contains articles by such well known men and women as Miss Jane Addams, Earl Barnes, Flor enee Kelley, Professor Simon N Pat ten and Professor s. B. Breckinridge. There are altogether eighteen essays in the book and these cover every phase of the new activities. of women. Right in the middle is an article by Mrs. Dodge, president of the National As- sociation Opposed to Woman Suffrage --the only one of the eighteen, which is against votes for women After read ing the other essays, that by Mrs.
