Former Governor Frear Breaks
News at Commercial Club
Meeting Today-Has Prom.
ise of Navy Chief, Who Will
Try to Persuade Wilson to
Make Trip

Secretary Of the Navy Daniels will
visit Hawaii next April and will do
his best to persuade President Wilson
to make the trip"
This was the snapper" that For
mer Governor Walter +. Frear cracked
at the end of an interesting luncheon
talk before the Commercial Club this
noon. For an hour the former chief
executive of the territory spoke Of
national politics and policies, both
General and pertaining specially to
Hawaii, his observations being based
on a residence tour Of more than a
year in the national capital, during
which time he was in close touch with
congressional and executive affairs.
II was in connection with Pearl
Harbor drydock legislation that Mr..
Grear gave out the big news Of the
proposed visit.
Just before l left Washington" I"
said Mr.. Frear, the secretary of the
navy told me that he would accom-
pany the president to the Panama-Pa-
cific Exposition, through the Panama
canal, and that he would take fast
cruiser from San Francisco ard come
to Hawaii. He said that he would do
his best to persuade the president to
make the trip also" -. ~. .... s
This announcement brought forth a
round of applause, amid which Me.
FFeap took his seat. j. .'.....,. .sss, -
The speaker touched only lightly
on the drydock matter, saying that
the negotiations had been successfully
concluded, and that the contractors
would finish the dock under, radically
different plans. 1t will take about
three and half years to complete
the work, and during that time en-
ployment will be given to several hun
dred men. 49,. -
q Mr.. Frear gave a comprehensive
sketch of the political and economic
situation as he had observed it. Touch
ing only the high lights, he covered a
wide field, giving his auditors a
glimpse OF what is going on in the
seat of government. The talk was
stamped by fairness and was distinct
ly non-partisan.&
Following are a few of Mr.. Frear's
comments:
Naturally there is a vast difference

present administration. This ranges
all the way from what one statesman
called the administration Tango

Talk for One Hour, During
Which He Tells of Politics
and Policies, National and
Local, and of the Pearl Har-
Dor Orydock Project

"As to the tariff, it would he folly
for anyone to predict what will hap
pen, for no one knows. and no one
can know. but shall not be surprised
for one if the tariff that most affects
Hawaii is restored. The sensible
thing to do in this matter, though, is
to prepare for the worst.
The men that | met in Congress
and in the executive departments all
seem kindly disposed to Hawaii, but
was told again and again how neces-
sary it was for some one in an official
position to be on the ground to repre-
sent Hawaii, who is able to supply
information when required"
Mr.. Frear followed this with
strong boost for Jack Desha, secre-
tary to Delegate Kuhio, whom he de-
scribed as always on the job, and
keenly alive to the interests of Ha-
waii"
Touching on the San Francisco ex-
position, preparations for which he
characterized as magnificent" Mr..
Frear said:
Who can tell what changes this
great exposition will bring to Hawaii;
what new shipping facilities, CONNER
cial benefits and increased tourist traf-
fic?"

lation and proposed legislation iffuf.

ing the civil war forced them into.
He said that Hawaii hadn't been skip
ped in this great general movement
for better laws and better conditions,
and that the signs of the times could
be read here as well as elsewhere.
. Touching on some of the national
movements considered by the last
congress, the speaker said that prohi-
bition as national issue had been
urged on congress, perhaps without
the immediate prospect of success. "
Equal suffrage and the lteracy test
were other Bills mentioned in oSief.
'THs federal building bill for Homo
lulu may be expected to become a
law at this session of congress-" said
Mr.. Frear.
Summing up, the speaker said:

we should adopt a supplementary
motto for the territory, never say

 Arkansas is vitally interested in the success of the National Drainage Congress. In addition to suffering from floods and overflow in the val leys of the Mississippi, Arkansas, Wachita, Red River, White, St. Francis and other rivers, Arkansas has 5,912,350 acres of swamp lands within her borders. If reclaimed and converted into farms these acres would add enormously to the agri- cultural wealth of the state, and in- crease the annual value of farm crops by at least $100,000 ,000. These rich acres which at present produce nothing but ill-health and suffering, win be reclaimed and turned into rich farms if the efforts of the Ma tional Drainage Congress are sue cessful.

THE REAL CAUSE OF
 MOST BAD COMPILATIONS

It is a stern fact that no truly beautiful complexion ever came out of jars or bottles; the longer one uses cosmetics the worse the com plexion becomes. Skin, to be healthy, must breathe. It also must expel, through the pores, it's share of the body's effete material. Creams and powders clog the pores, inter fering both with elimination and breathing. If more women under stood this, there would be fewer self ruined complexions. If they would use ordinary mercolzed wax instead of cosmetics. they would have nat ural, healthy compexions. This re- markabe substance actually absorbs bad skin also unclogging the pores Result: The fresher, young CT under-skin is permitted to breathe and to show itself. An exquisite new complexion gradually peeps out. one free from any appearance of arti- ficially. Get an ounce of mercolized wax at your druggists and try it. Apply nightly like cold cream, for a week or so, washing it off morn ings.
 To eradicate wrinkles, here's a marvelously effective treatment which also acts naturally and harm lessly: Dissolve l oz powdered .saxolite in 1-2 pt. witch hazel and use as a wash lotion.
