Party Lines Vanish As Delegation
Discuss Needs Of Their
Constituents
REINFORCEMENT WILL
ASKED OF BOTH HOUSES
Adoption of An Amended Charter
For Honolulu Also To Be
Urged

Eliminating party distinctions to
further the common interests of their
constituencies, twelve of the eighteen
members of the Oahu legislative dele
in an informal conference last night
and took preliminary steps to effect a
permanent organization as a caucus for
the coming session of the Legislature.
The legislative needs of Oahu brought
the senators and representatives to-
gethor and it vas the consensus of
opinion among those at the conference
that the eighteen members of the legis-
lature from this Island should work
in harmony at the coming session to
satisfy these needs.
Reapportionment Urged
Reapportionment of the representa-
ton in the legislature to give Oahu the
share of the seats in house and senate
called for by the organic act and the
adoption of an amended charter for
Honolulu were the two main points dis
cussed at the conference. These were
the principal legislative proposals that
brought the members of the delegation
to common point of view.
The conference was held in the Com
mercial Club where the legislators were
the guests at dinner of Charles F. Chill
lingworth, president of the senate at
the last session. Six members of the
delegation were unable to be present
Some are out of the city.
Action Is Postponed
Definite action was postponed until
a meeting of the entire delegation
could be arranged. Another meeting
will be called soon after the HOLIDAYS.
LOrrln Andrews as spokesman for the
conference at the close of the meeting
explained the purpose of the gathering
He said:
1t was just an informal gathering
arranged by Senator Chillngworth for

needs of the island.

PROPER WAY TO HANG SKIRT
Care Necessary II One Would Have Il
Retain Its Original shape-The
White Dress.

Every woman knows how hard 1t is
to hang up skirt so that it retains its
original shape. Here is one way in
which it can be done:
Take an ordinary wooden eoat-hang-
er and screw underneath the hanger
two small brass hooks about one inch
long. Place them at either side of the
center hook, at equal distances from
it. Hang the loops of the skirt on the
hooks. A jacket can be slipped on the
hanger without wrinkling the skirt.
To improve the shiny serge or cloth
lay it fiat on the table and pass
piece Of fine sandpaper very gently
over the shiny part. The sandpaper
will roughen up the nap again, but be
careful not to rub too hard, as 1t may
wear hole in your material
When putting away white dresses
wrap them in dark blue cambria to
prevent them from turning yellow. Pa
per can also be used and can be blued
by dipping in strong bluing water and
dried. Fine centerpieces and doilies
not in use should be kept wrapped in
dark blue tissue paper.-Farm and
Fireside.

grades, the preVocational division includes the
next three grades, and the vocational division
templates a four-year course above the sixth
grade The first group is the beginning stage, the
second group is the finding stage and the third
group is the fitting stage
There should be interest in knowing how this
course of study for the Indians compares with
the course which white children follow. In the
first six years the Indian parallels the pub
lie school in all the essentials of academic
work. In this period the principles are taught and
application of them is made Just as after the
principles are understood. The knowledge of
industrial and domestic activities at this stage
centers more less around the conditions essen
tal to the proper maintenance and Improvement
OF the rural home
For years the adult Indians resented all efforts
to secure their consent that their children should
attend the Indian schools. In December, 1890,
there was an Indian uprising produced by vari-
Gus conditions and fostered by what was known
as the ghost dance craze On the Pine Ridge
reservation in South Dakota at that time the
Indians were divided into two camps on the ques-
ton Of allowing children to attend school at the
agency Those who refused to allow their chill
dren to go to school looked upon those who
in favor of the school plan as enemies of the
Sioux
When the Indians that year were upon the war
path. the children of the peaceful ones continued
to attend school at the Pine Ridge agency. One
day band Of warriors left the main body of In
dams in the field and swept down by the agency
and fired fusillade into the school building
which stood on a bluff. Happily of the school
teachers had seen the Indians hiding behind a
clump of willows on White Clay creek and had
sounded an alarm. The school children were hur.
ried to the basement of the building and thus
escaped injury when the structure was ridded
with bullets
This incident Is spoken of only to show the
vast difference that has been created by time and
by the advance in civilization. Today Commits
sioner Sells reports that the vast majority of the
Indians anxious and urgent that the little
shall go to their lessons. The problem now
instead of being of how to induce their par.
ents to let them come itself with provid-
ing school room for all of those who seek to fit
themselves for the life's work.
Aggressive steps have been taken toward the
development of improved vocational training
among the Indians The Indian office has adopted
plans which it believes will accomplish the edu.
cation necessary to instill in the Indian youth the
responsibility of sefsupport and citizenship EN-.
phasis is being placed on agricultural and domes,
tic science. This program will be carried out in

FASHIONS DECREE IN SHOES

slight shoulder straps of tulle. The
gown was an exact replica of the
most fashionable frock that is being
worn by young women of twenty, and
yet, the interesting fact about it was
that the dress was definitely youth
full. IN addition to a few pink rose
buds, pair of flesh pink socks and
heelless, white satin slippers with
ankle straps took all the sophisti-
cation away from the frock.
The milliners have kept up with the
dressmakers in devising new kinds of
things for children, and one of the
new straw hats to be exploited in the
spring has a tulle crown through
which the hair shows. AS a rule,
quantities of tulle are not used in
juvenile hats, although miles of it
have been employed everywhere else
The fashion for colored worsted flow
ers has crept into small hats, but
many of the critics have regarded it
as more suitable there than anywhere
else.
OF course, the present fashion for
shocking spreads over into young
ster's clothes, and the brilliant
smocks of colored satin and crepe de
chine have been initiated in small
frocks. Entire frocks of pale yellow
or ue-and-rose-colored china silk are
shocked at the shoulders, the wrists
and the hips, the latter holding the
fullness into the figure and obviating
the necessity of belt.
Summer frocks of fine muslin or
organdie will have shocking of cam
brio thread with no other ornamental
ton used but bit of lace at the
wrists and neck.

FOR JUVENILE WEAR
New Fabrics and Styles Have Been Introduced.
Brown Gabardine Bids Fair to Be (
Popular This Spring. 5

AS an accumulation Of the change
that has taken place in Juvenile
clothes, there is new frock advanced
as the most correct model for
spring; 1t is made of brown gaberdine
embroidered in yellow, with a yellow
satin blouse.
The use of this fabric and this color
Is unusual in children's clothes, and
1t shows that we are tending away
from the conventional theories of
what should be worn and dipping
into the region of the unknown. 1t
is quite true that the tiniest young
sters have worn wooden clothes when
no attempt was made for fashion and
only comfort and health were con-
sidered; but whenever there was even
the smallest altar to fashion raised
in the sewing room, small children
were kept to washable materials.
Another new frock for children
that is quite different from the ordi-
nary and shows the new movement
toward originality, has a tight fitting
bodice of blue velvet with blue-and-
white checked taffeta skirt One of
the most startling house gowns that
has been invented for children which
was worn as page costume at a
smart wedding, had skirt built of
many ruffles of white silk net, topped

Gators in the country will be invited to attend the
institutes and address the teachers. The final
effort is to give the Indian exactly what he needs
