safety First' Letter Being
Written BY R. C. Brown
Warns Parents

Details of the Chamber of Commerce
Safety First campaign probably will
not be given the local public until sew
'eral days have elapsed, according to
Secretary Raymond C. Brown. The
circular letter which is to be sent to
every newspaper published in Honolu'
lu, which will contain the details, has
not yet been completed by Mr.. Brown,
and before 1t is made public it will
be submitted to the chamber for ap-
proval, he said today.
The letter viii be frank warning
to parents not to allow their children
to play In the streets. It will be given
the fullest publicity in Honolulu. Eng
lish, Hawaiian, Japanese, Chinese, Ko-
rean and Portuguese papers will be
asked to publish it.
1t points out that in many cases of
accident the burden of responsibility
is not on the driver of the vehicle, but
on the person who is injured. In a
large number Of cases, the letter de-
clares, persons are injured, and often
die, as a result Of their own careless
ness. 1t points out that operators OF
machines often are injured because
they have. become so proficient in
handling the machine that they grow
careless.
The letter cites, as an example, the
case OF two persons standing talking
en- street corner. Suddenly one rec
elects an appointment which he has
and starts pellmell across the street,
not stopping to look up and down the
street for approaching vehicles.
There is also cited a game which
it has been learned is played by chill.
dren living in the vicinity OF Liliha
street. Two children play it. They
stand on opposite sides of the street.
AS an automobile approaches, they
run across the street directly in front
of the machine. The one who passes
the closest to the machine without get.
ting run. down, and who gains the op-
posite side of the street first, wins the
game
Attention is called by the letter to
the fact that when an accident oc-
ours public sentiment is almost in
stantly created against the driver OF
the vehicle, placing the blame on the
driver. But the driver is not always
to blame, the letter declares.
One of the features of the campaign
will be to start series of lectures on
puOlic safety in the public schools, il
can be made with the
department of public instruction. An
endeavor will also be made to compe!
parents TO refrain from letting their
C.. dren play in the streets.
Secretary Brown said today that the
letter VIII not criticize parents of any
particular nationality Children OF
all nationalities represent
ed in Honolulu play in the streets and !
are thus subject to danger, he added |

On statutory charge. The two jap

in Honolulu a school for Japanese

AS a result, it is alleged that five

loud" colors in such apparel.
Silk hosiery will perhaps be worn
by men all through the winter. The
demands for heavy weight socks for
cold weather Is steadily decreasing.
There are many colors In favor this
fall-bluos, greys, tan, champagne,
imperial. green. blacks and white.
Embroidered clockings and figured
patterns in hosiery are coming back
in style.
Mems neckwear this fall will
perhaps be lower priced. as ex-
planned in recent article OF The
Apparel Gazette:
1t Is said in the neckwear mar
ket that there has been a marked
demand for lower-priced mer
chandise. This has not brought
about a general lowering In quality
in scarfs, because the neckwear
maker has found II possible to go
into the piece goods market and
buy desirable silks at less than
regular figure. due TO the present
conditions of the raw silk trades"
The fabrics used in neckwear
this fall consist mainly of orepes,
foulards and grenadine in black
and white and blue and white polka
dot. figured and striped effects.
Polka dots are unusually popular
and they we'll deserve to be for they
are smart, neat, and distinctive.
Perhaps the biggest season tho
polka dot has ever enjoyed was this
summer. There were nothing but
polka dots In fact, and this fall
promises to be even greater sea-
son for them.
There will also be a great run
on Rajah silks. Some have pressed
or embossed fancy stripes over
which is printed the pattern. Still
others are Of MORE silk. printed
with high colored all-over designs.
Cross stripe silks also show signs
or large season. They are shown
mainly bright-hued effects.
Knitted neckwear is "back
number" although we may expect
to see II back again some time in
the near future because OF its SER
viceable qualities. And what may
hasten its come back" appearance
Is that many manufacturers in their
eagerness to produce a wide end

double and single folds-the double
folds resembling the soft French
cuff.
The favorite colors and patterns
in shirts this fall are horizontal and
cross stripes, figures and solid col.
ors in light patel shades.
Shirts this fall are shown mainly
in plain negligee styles. Plain
plated styles are also looked upon
with favor. The thousand plated
and mushroom plated styles will
also be seen but not as frequently
az before. These styles were first
shown only In high priced lines but
were initiated 80 much by the low
priced shirt maker that the discrim-
mating dresser has taken n dislike
TO them.
II is expected that great many
men Will wear light weight under
wear all the year round. There has
been growing tendency the past
few winters for men to discard
heavy weight undergarments and
wear summer underwear from one
end OF the year TO the other. How

method.
For those who demand heavier

many other cold-resisting fabrics
Underwear manufacturers should
certainly be complimented for the
great strides they have made to-
ward the Improvement in the style
Of their garments. A man who buys
carefully should have very little
trouble with the so.called Grinding"
and "gagging. The underwear OF
today is made to be comfortable.
Some are shown with the elastic

tion-others open down the side
and there are scores OF other mod
els that put the wearer at ease.
In stiff collars there are "thou-

IL ever before have there been so
many novel ideas exhibited. Every
one OF the new styles are designed
to leave plenty OF space for the
scarfs. There are long pointed and
short pointed collars, round corners
and square corners. high stand-up
styles and low lay-down models.

The soft collars come In about
the same cuts as the stiff collars.
They are shown to great extent
in silks, cottons, linens, piques.
moires, knitted fabrics, ETC., in fig-
ured patterns. stripes, and plain eff
feet. Many shirts include soft col
lars to match.
There are very few men nova.

feathers are plain and grained eff

The sweater coats this fall are

There are many accordion knitted

sweaters the chain knit rules SUI
