RAYMOND TO SUCCEED
HENNING SAYS RUMOR
Retiring Supervisor SIatedFOr Deputy Tax Assessor Job
Says Report.-Lahaina People Petition For Repre-
sentation On Supervisors Other Protests.

AS first announced in last Mon
days Wireless, Supervisor William
Henning has sent his resignation as
a member of the Board, to Governor
Pinkham. 1t is stated on good
authority that the resignation will
be accepted as soon as it has been
officially acted upon by the board
itself.
Although the resignation came as
Il surprise to Maui people generally,
the rumor quickly spread that it
was not a surprise to the Governor
and to number of others. Accord
ing to the report, the retiring super
visor is soon to be appointed deputy
tax assessor for the Makawao dis
trict, succeeding either Edgar Nor
ton or J. n. X. Keola; while his
place on the Board of Supervisors
is to be filled by DR.. J. II. Raymond.
Mr.. Henning has declined to dis
cuss the matter, except to say that
he expects his resignation to be
promptly acted upon, and that he
has various reasons for resigning.
While the program above outlmed
is generally believed to be the true
one, number of movements were
started early in the week to oppose
1t. In the Lahaina district, from
which Supervisor Henning was ori-
ginally elected, a petition is in cir
cuIation urging the Governor to fill
the vacancy on the board, by the
appointment of a man from that
district. Around Waiiuku a less
systematic movement was started to
urge upon the Governor his moral
obligation to replace Mr.. Henning
with another Republican, instead OF
DR.. Raymond, or any other Demo
crat. Any appointment which the
Governor may make under the law,
will hold till the next county elec-
tion, which is not until next May.
If the rumor of Henning' sgetting
the deputy tax office is correct, the
appointment will probably be made
with the taking Office of G. J,
Mccarthy, as Territorial treasurer,
who is to succeed Treasurer Conkline
on October lst. The various tax
division heads are subject to the
territorial treasurer. 1t is generally
believed that with Conkling sgoing
all Of the assessors and deputies il
the territory will also have to go, tC
be replaced by democratic appoint
ees. Although HennIng is not {
democrat, his position with the ad
ministration is said to be peculiar
so that his appointment would no
be out of harmony. The position
of deputy tax assessor in either Ma
kawao or Wailuku pays $50 pc
month.

orally lacking. These are but a few
of the things that a woman assistant
could keep before the eyes of an
architect In the domestic branch of
the work.
In buildings that are to be rented.
II should be made an invariable rule
to put In as many permanent features
as possible. such as towel and soap
racks and medicine chest in bath
rooms. utensil shelves and hooks in
kitchen and pantry. as we'll as curtain
hooks and portiere poles. In addition
to shades and screens for windows
and doors. For. where this Is not
done. each succeeding tenant adds lis
mite tc the Disagreement OF walls and
woodwork.
In the design illustrated herewith,
many of these suggestions have been
taken advantage of. and this design is
offered as einbodying numerous desir-
able features and labUr-saving con-
veniences which the women appre-
ciate.
In this design there are three large
rooms on the main floor. besides pan
try. downstairs toilet room. ice box
alcove and back entry. The front OF
the house Is especially attractive,
with the large living room lighted on
three sides. Broad cased openings
connect the stair hall with the living
room on one side and the dining room
on the other, making in all very spa
cious apartment.
The second floor OF this house is
small, compared to the flrst-foor plan.
since the living room is a one-story
wing with fiat roof. This. however.
provides very nice second-story bal
cony opening out OF one OF the bed
rooms. which can be used very easily
for an outdoor sleeping room in the
summer time. Both of the bedrooms
are of good size, and are nicely ar
ranged for convenience.
This house is designed along strict
ly modern lines. giving the popular
cement stucco outside finish. The
house will cost from $500 to $4,000.
depending on the local material and
labor market. II is a design Of q
good deal Of style and can be recon-
mended as generally satisfactory.

more shrill and sibilant than the
goose's.
Newman says that when six or
seven months Of age, or at maturity,
the ganders can be told from the
geese by observation. In most cases
the male grows somewhat larger than
the female.
The goose is deeper in the body. a
trife simmer in the neck. and smaller
in the neck. The call of the gander
is loud, long and shrill, while that
of the goose is merely an answer to 1t.
There is a curious plan to deter

a stable or a pig-sty. A small dog
is then put in. 1t is said the geese
will all lift up their heads and go
TO the back of the place, while the
ganders will lower and stretch out
their necks, Kissing all the time
Gilbert refers to the same method,
saying the ganders will put their
heads down at the dog and hiss, while
the geese will keep their heads up and
try to avoid the intruder.

TELLING THE SEX OF GEESE
Not Easy Matter to Make Distinction
In Toulouse Variety as Birds
Are All Of Same Color.

II is not an easy thing to distin-
guish the sex of geese. especially OF
the Toulouse variety. Both sexes are
the same in color, but in this variety
the male or gander is somewhat
larger, has a larger head, longer neck
and carries himself more erect.
The voice of the female is coarser
than that OF the male, a point that
is relied upon quite generally by ex
perienced growers OF these fowls.
Gilbert says there is an embarrass
ing likeness between the gander and
the goose, and out of the breeding

stop-cocks regulated that 1t is only
by difficult maneuvering with the left
hand that the range can be managed
at all?
Nor is there any plausible reason
for 30 arranging the wall spaces that

it. presumably to give the cook some
needed exercise In getting up a meal.
Another idea which should suggest
itself to the woman architect, or archi-
tects assistant, is the fact that the

be separate from the bathroom. as a
matter OF family convenience; also.

II is surprising to one who has not
given the matter thought. how many
little points there are connected with
the planning of an up-to-date con-
venient residence that can be gotten
all wrong IL the architect is not ex-
ceedingly careful or doesn't know his
business, and the house resulting be
almost ruined. so far as comfort and
the conveniences of housekeeping are
concerned.
II has frequently been suggested
that architects doing residence work
should seek advice of the women
concerning many points, and find out
from first-hand testimony just how
the housekeeper wants to have the
many features which mean 80 much
to her, but which mere man knows
very little Of. Some Of these points
that have been suggested are as fol-
lows:
What woman would put in laundry
tubs so deep that the luckless worker
who Is Of short or medium stature is
In constant danger of pitching for
ward upon her head. while the tall
woman can at least reckon upon q
headache or backache as the result OF
a few hours work; or, who but man
would make the ledge between the
tubs so wide that no ordinary wringer
can be fitted to It? Would any wom-
