FLORAL COMMITTEE
WILL HOLD INITIAL
MEETING TONIGHT

The first meeting of the Floral Pa
Iade committee. the largest of it's
kind to be appointed on carnival mat.
ters, will be held this evening in the
rooms of the Merchants Association,
Young hotel building, beginning at
T:30 o'clock. This committee will
have general charge Of the parade,
which will take place Saturday after
loon, February q, ar.l, from the en-
tries Of automobiles already prom
ised from Honolulu, Kauai, Maui and
Hawaii. it is certain that this section
will be materially larger than ever
before. ...-
In addition to the automobile sec
tion, there will be a great many new
features. Among the latter there will
be a school section, the committee Or
which will be led by Ed Towse. Mr..
Towse has already received an as
surance of the support of all the
schools, both public and private, and
he is planning an American flag, the
stars and stripes of which will be
formed by the costumes of the march
ing students. The school children
are also taking up the lei idea brought
forth by Daniel Logan of the commit
tee on decorations. The Boy Scouts
will be another feature of the parade,
and they will turn out in full force
in uniform. Both the Chinese and
the Japanese are preparing elaborate
entries. A feature which viii very
likely be shown by the Chinese will
be a marching dragon. far larger than
the one used at local carnivals in the
past 1t will be necessary to send to-
China for this huge monster.
For the first time in the history of
Honolulus carnival, the Filipiros are
coming in this year and they have al
ready begun the planning of their en-
try. The Koreans will also be in line.
Rev. John w Wa,lman has agreed to
take the craftsmanship of committee
to assist these two.
1t is expected that at the meeting
this evening other features will be
discussed and the committee will
probably divide into subcommittee
10 carry on the work. Director-gen-
eral Dougherty regards this first meet
ing as a very important one for out
lining the work of this big feature of
the Carnival, and he is especially anX-
iCus that all the members be present.

Fort SKATER Notes

Especial Star Bulletin Correspondence
FORT SHAFTER, Jan. chaplain

lain is suffering from carbuncle that
has seized on his neck and Is most
painful but not serious.

This command was paid yesterday
by Captain George H. Freeman on the
rolls for the month of December. Some
figures from the payment are inter-
sesting as to the amounts involved and
their channels. The total amount paid
cut to the men was over $4,000. OF
this sum over $500 was turned back
to the disbursing officer by individual
enlisted. men, in sums. of S. to $50 or.
more, for deposit until discharge and
on which interest at per cent will
be paid them. Thus about IL per cent
of their pay was the actual monthly
saving by the command and is proof
that the service pay does not all go
into Improbable channels. .....-
The collections for credit extended
by the fort exchange amounted to
about $4,000 as whole and was di-
vided among the collections for mer-
chandise of $4,000, laundry charges
$500 and tailor shop bills of about
$500.
/. The above figures do not represent
all the activity of the exchange for
heavy cash sales mark the first half
of every month following pay day,
hence the collections are only for
credit extended during the period
when cash is low in the pockets of
the customers.
1t will, of course, be understood that
the Honolulu merchants ultimately
profit by the operations OF the ex-
change since 80 per cent Of the mer-
sold and supplies utilized are
furnished by Honolulu business
houses. only the remaining small per
centage coming over on mail orders
from mainland establishments and
those houses that Manufacture or sell
direct to retailers AS the Sbafter
garrison is but about one-fifth of the
entire force on Oahu. Il Is seen that
the army exchange trade alone Is

EXPERIENCES OF NOBLE
WOMEN IN EUROPE.


The horrible experiences that many
noble women in Europe have endured
during past few months can never be
all told. Here in America many women,
both young and old, have experienced
much misery and suffering.
b1ddle-aged women about to expert
ence that dreaded change of life should
profit by the experience of thousands
of noble women who have gone through
the same period with little or no pain,
misery, or discomfort.

and has been for over forty years just
the medicine that every woman needs
when passing through the changing
days. It Is not secret prescription,
tor its ingredients are printed on the
wrapper; it's a temperance medicine.
Not only does it build up the entire
system and make it strong and vigorous
enough to withstand the organic disr
turbances, but II has a quieting effect

duces the distress to a minimum. For

POLICE Patrol Wagon
HITS CAR; Three HURT
In Responding to Riot Call. Motor
Vehicle CoIlides, Due to Misun-
derstanding of Signals.

Policeman Robert W. Bursey was
seriously hurt and Policeman Thomas
F. Sweeney and Police Chauffeur Joseph
coughIin painfully injured last night
in collision between a motor patrol
wagon, in which they were answering
riot call, and q street car at Ver-
mont avenue and Eleventh street north
west.
Coughlin was driving at high speed
in Vermont avenue, and the auto crash
ed head-on with a fast travelling north
bound car of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company. The street car
crushed the auto into wreckage. How
Bursey. Sweeney. and Coughlin escaped
death is a question which neither can
answer.
Bursey was unconscious when extrI-
Gated from the wreckage. Physicians
at Emergency Hospital say he sus-
tanned grave internal injuries. He was
cut and bruised and suffering from
shock. Sweeney sustained cuts and
bruises. CoughIin's thigh and chest
were bruised. Motorman Howard W.
Nipple, who was running the street car,
escaped injury.
Coughlin was driving to answer a call
Tor help sent in from a patrol box at Six
teenth and NJ streets northwest by Po-
liceman c. H. Murphy. who had arrested
three negroes for disorderly conduct.
Murphy feared the negroes intended TO
resist arrest, and he asked that a detail
Of reserves be dispatched to the scene.
Bursey was riding on the front seat of
the auto with Coug1lin and Sweeney was
sitting inside the vehicle. It seems there
was a misunderstanding of signals be-
tween the chauffeur and motorman.
Coughlin rang for right of way" and
says the motorman at once slackened
speed. Coughlin at once speeded up, be-
lieving the street car would stop. But
the street car also started forward.
Coughlin applied brakes and his ma
chine skidded sixty feet The front of
the auto crashed into the front Of the
street car. While Bursey. Sweeney, ana
Coughlin were being removed to the hos
pital. Bicycle Policeman G. P. Cox went
to the aid Of Policeman Murphy. Cox
and Murphy had no trouble in getting
their prisoners-Joseph Miles, Addison
