ment has been an Endorsement Of IL, and we
hope that additional requests from us Viii
not be deemed in the light Of an imposition
in the wind-un OF the campaign Of Bundle
Day 81 this time.
We have 10000 contributors Of waste Who
make the industrial department Of the United
Hebrew Charities a littie more than self

We ask specifically that persons who have
not ALREADY furnished US their names and

The most intimate contact that VIC can nov

GAS SPREADSOUT
BUT PR|CESDO
NOT Go Higher
Local Company Extends Mains
and Increases Capacity But
Holds Down Charge

Now that meat and shoes and other
necessities OF the humble human are
INDUCING a rise one might infer that
gas, the natural tendency OF which Is
to ascend heayenward when unre-
stricted, would be shooting out of
sight also. But gas in Honolulu Is
not in the also class In this instance,
for the only way IL is expanding is
through approximately 81 miles OF
gas mains peeking into almost every
district OF the city.
To explain why more miles OF
mains have been laid by this concern
this year than in any other Of its 10
years existence in Honolulu, Frank
Cannon, acting manager OF the Homo
lulu Gas Company, tells of a unique
plan adopted TO give gas buyers gas
where they want it and also TO en-
courage the sale of real estate.
Many OF the various tracts which
have been escently opened around
Honolulu have gas as one OF their
boosted attractions, says Cannon. If
we were obliged to run these mains
for hundreds OF feet without obtain
ing single customer, which We don't
have when they are first continued
to new additions, we would be out of
business shortly But we have com
promised with the real estate firms
whereby they post the money for cost
OF construction, the money to be re.
turned by US as Il comes In from clis-
toners we obtain on their tracts. The
plan works well both ways. The real
estate men have another attraction
besides streets. sidewalks, electric
lights, water and sewer to offer and
we get additional business as the new
reidences are butt"
The Honolulu Gas Company has
just completed 7500foot extension
to their gas mains in Nuuanu street
to the Dowsett tract and have others
either under construction or conteIa-
plated under the new plan.
The first Of the year the prices on
gas were materially reduced and
there Is no indication that the cost
will ever be raised here.
Although gas usually goes up, II
never does with us, laughed Can
non. n fact, 4 e Just the other way
around.
The gas company Is now Installing
a large gas generator, the fourth 60
be erected since the company started
business here with 10 miles Of mains
IL 1905. The big generator has ca.
pacity equal to that Of all the others
combined and win be completed in
October.
Besides extensions to their mains
the company Is planning to rake up
several hundred feet Of pipe IN Ma.
noa valley and other districts where
streets are soon to be improved and
replace the same with permanent
mains OF the most durable nature.

PARIS now AS

America Sets Fashions and
What Win Be Worn is Told
By John Lenox

Paris, the seat OF fashions, the home
of vogue and variety, is suffering a
decline. This is the surprising word
brought home by John Lennox, presi.
dent and manager of the N. S. Sach
Try Goods Company, Ltd, who has
recently returned home from three.
month trip in the states.
Although partially bent on pleas.
ure, Lennox, chief purpose was to Sc
iect autumn goods for the popular Ho.
tel street store. He spent most OF
his time in New York City and has
some interesting things to tell about
tie metropolis, chief among which
Is the decline of the Paris standards

war.

France by the wholesale now instead
