MAKE THE BEACHES EVEN SAFER.

HonolnIu's lack of life-sayings equipment,
particularly at the beach bathing resorts, is
emphasized in the interesting talk made before
the Ad Club today by Mr.. Richard I. Prince.
He speaks not as a mere critic, but as one with
definite suggestion to offer
For years past attention has spasmodically
been drawn to the lack of life guarding and
saving equipment at Waikiki. This does not
mean that Waikiki is an unsafe place for swim
mers OF. for bathers who can T. swim. Onkthe
contrary, it is naturally enes of the safest salt
water bathing beaches in the world. TheWater
is at such a mild temperature that there is no
shock to the bather upon entering it; there are
few deep holes and those readily avoided by
people who take any precautions; there is no
strong under-tow where the unskll lied and weak
swimmers disport themselves
And still even the safest bathing spot has its
dangers People have been drowned in bath
tubs They have been drowned in roadside
puddles. And occasionally there are avoid
able tragedies at Waikiki. Most of the deaths
by drowning in The last half dozen years have
been those of men who were loaded with booze
and Houndered beyond their depths. In one or.
two cases exertion brought on heart-failure,
but the same exertion on land would have pro-
duced q. like result
Still, there is much merit in what Mr. Prince
says. Each year the beach is. getting more!
crowded and each year the proportion of
women and children frequenting it grows. And
even the single pulmotor at the Moana Hotel
has proved its usefulness. Two lives were
probably saved by its application on, New
Years Day. A systematic patrol of the beach
might result not more than sonce year in
prompt aid to some struggling. swimmer, but
that once would be worth the years constant
care.
And, as Mr.. Prince points out, life-saving|
equipment is needed around docks and wharves.
1t should be installed also at the police station,
ready to be sent out on hurry calls.
Hawaii i. 50 pre-eminently the land of good
swimmers natural born swimmers, it seems
that less attention is paid to equipment and
patrol than almost anywhere else. Bathing ac-
cidents are remarkably few, but even the small
number should be lowered Nsn

Henry Clews, business optinlist says this In
his latest trade letter: Despite the war, con
ditions here affecting American securities are
improving in, a most encouraging fashion,
There is a better feeling in both banking and
financial circles having its foundation in posi-
tive changes for the better. The credit situa-
ton has much improved. Money is redundant
and promises to continue easy for some time to
come The new federal reserve system, though
not in full running order, is working well and
has already provided much assurance and re-
lief. Clearing house certificates have entirely
disappeared, and the Aldricl Vreeland emer-
gency currency is being steadily retired. There

is no lack of. funds to good borrowers; the ac-
cumulation being due to dull trade, to the re-
turn of crop money, to the lowering of reserve
requirements from % per cent to Is per cent,
and to the fact that We are in position to draw
gold from abroad. Today we are loaning
money to Russia, Canada, Argentina, France,
Sweden and elsewhere. The war in Europe
and our own strong financial position have
caused striking shifts in the currents of finance
and trade, which will greatly strengthen the
prestige and power of New York as an inter
national credit and money market Many of
the transactions now taking place here are. of
course the immediate consequence of the dis
turbance in foreign credit, and when the war is
over these factors will disappear, not without,
however, leaving New York in a position of adj
vantage considerably greater than existed be-
fore the European condagration.

the road problem successfully if it continues

politics and patronage politics at that.

Humankind manages to extract amusement
out of the most tragic situation-when the nov
city of the tragic qualities wears off. The mo-
notony of toll and death at the battlefront
after a while dulls the lively apprehension of
horrors and the soldiers can, jest unconceriledly
in the most gruesome surroundings. A photo
graph from the front brings this wildly. to
notice. A few yards behind the trenches where
men are sweating and killing and dying, a
group of military cooks have formed a strange
laughter inspiring band. One carries huge
dishpan for bass-drum, another a skillet for
a banjo, another thumps Justify on snare-drum
ingeniously fashioned out of small pot; a
fourth blows joyotisly ON funnel. The sheer
monotony of death has driven them to childish
alnusements.
