P'EARLIN6:EtEEI
ElFfECTED BY J

The war has not unnaturally de-
creased the demand for pearls and
the industry has been affected in all
the producing eenters, especially in
Thursday island. According to the
latest despatch from that island, the
procuring of pearls has been suspend
ed since the war started. and the di-
yers and other. workmen have been
out of employment. The chief reason
is that the demand has remarkably de-
creased In London, the principal mar
ket for this article, and there is an en-
tire absence OF demand In various Eu-
ropean centefs Under these circum-
stances the owners of pearl boats have
found themselves in a difficult condt
ton financially, and they have been
unable to, pay the divers and other
workmen. Strenuous efforts have,
however, been made by them to renew
the pearl gathering In view of the fact
that the pearl industry Is the only
one on which the greater portion OF
the Thursday island population de-
pend for their living. Fer three
months from October till December
last year, so per cent OF the pearl
beats were employed In the pearl
gathering, that is 80 boats out of 107.
Even then IS boats remain unemploy
ed with the result that the Japanese
divers to the number Of about $50
have been discharged and sent home
Also about 200 natives of the neigh
boring industry have been discharged
and sent home.
At present $50 Japanese, so Malay
ans, and Is New Guinea natives. 553
in IA, are still being employed in the
industry. 1t is to be explained in this
connection that the Japanese divers in
Thursday island are employed as con-
tract laboFers for the term of three
wears. the contracts being signed in
Hongkong, the travelling expenses be-
tween Hongkong and Thursday island
to be borne by the employers. The
lsborers are not allowed to land ac-
ecrding to the emigration law of the
commonwealth. but are employed by
the special permission of the Aus
tralian government on condition that
they live IN the beats, But If the war
lasts lcng and the efforts Of the pearl
gatherers to. maintain the half work
fail, it Is feared that all the japanese
will lese their employment and be
told TO return home.

Trend of Legislation In Norway
Is Socialistic Since All
Adults Have Ballot
fBy Associated Pres. !

CHRISTINA. Norway. Since Nor
way has given every adult woman and
man the right to vote, legislation is
declared to have taken remarkably
SociaIistic turn, although the Social
list party, except In special industrial
eenters. does not count a majority Of
the voters.
IN parliament the Radicals are in
majority, and in connection with the
Social site faction. they have such an
overwhelming force that the Conserva-
tiyes have no say at all. The present
Legislation is characteristic of Norwe.
gian socialistic theories which. IN
many respects. are quite different
nom those N other. countries For
instance the legislature. with a large
majority. has passed a law by which
illegitimate children are to be placed
in the same class as legitimate child
rem. in relation to the father. The
slogan s same rights for illegitimate
children as for legitimate children"
One section provides that illegitimate
offspring shall have full right to take
the name of the father; another gives
them equal rights in the matter Of in-
keritance.

" Why Should h
/ Advertise

Il have been in business in this town for
years! Everyone knows my store! / don't
need to advertise any more''
Such an argument as this is often offered by
old and reputable firms as their reason for not
telling the people about their goods through
newspaper advertising.
It might be said that the greatest trouble
with firms that advance such excuses is that
they are not abreast of the times, so to speak.
They have failed to realize that advertising
is the development of modern business eompeti-
ton I'm large per cent of cases, along the
same street with the odd and established
firms, there have sprung up, in the last few
years. other business houses of the same lines
and they have established trade equal, if
not superior TO, that of the "old and estab-
lished' firms.
Do you think that the secret success that has
enabled these new firms to develop that trade
is hidden-and known to selected few?
If there is secret, it is not hidden. In fact
it is in daily evidence.
In short: NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.
The government census shows that in d city
approximately the size of Honolulu through the
transient population the total population
amounts to almost a complete change every
seven years In other words, about one seventh
OF the population Of this. city changes each
year.
Mr. cold and Established Merchant con-
sidering the population of Honolulu as a whole,
there are comparatively few families who re-
member when you started in business; there
fore you and your business do not stand any
better chance of getting their trade than does
the younger merchant with his newer store
and advertising 1t might almost be said that
there are people living in this city who have
come to town of late years, who have been com
stantly reading the newspaper advertisements
of your young and thriving competitors and
hardly realize that you are in business, unless
you, too, are an ardent advertiser.
If YOU doubt this statement, experiment a
little, that is if you are not as large an adver-
tiser as some other merchant, whom You con
slider young and unestabIished, step out on the
street and stop the first ten people You chance
to meet and aske them to name a merchant in
your particular line. Your feelings viii prob
ably be hurt, for they undoubtedly will name
the ones who advertise.
The best way to avoid serious competition in
your line, Mr.. Merchant, is TO advertise!
The best way to become a leader in your line
is to advertise!
The Star Bulletin offers You a daily paid cir
cuIation far in excess of that OF any other me
dunn in the city.
Begin new era in YOUR business. Give as
much attention to your ADyIsISTISIN Nc.
which brings people into your store--as yon
do those customers after You get them in.
Don't consider your advertising appropriation
as an expense-but as an Investment! twill
pay your a handsome interest!

Packs His Box With
Good Things With Wife
and Baby Starving

If the story pretty Mrs Herbert
Kaufman told in October desertion
court this morning about the way her
husband treated herself and her
5-year-old daughter Blanche, Herbert
must have been a mighty mean man.
Mrs. Kaufman said the head of the
house not only refused to provide
enough food for his wife and baby,
but he went to the grocery store,
bought what pickles and olives and
bologna and cold ham and things he
wanted for his dinner bucket--and
packed 'em away, while hungry wife
and child looked greedily on.
Kaufman was directed to pay SIS
per month for maintenance of his wife
and child. The husband declared that
his wife wasn't true to him and he
mentioned one Wesley Keller as the
other man in the case.

day for failing to support his aged
father. H. Wolf. Wolf, senior, is SO
Judge McCarrell ordered Wolf, the

was anything but liberal with her ever
since they were married. In two years
he bought her two pairs of stockings
and not silk ones at that. One week
he gave her half dollar to keep the
family going-and told her he had a
few little debts, but "she could pay
them out of the fifty cents"
