PLEASING PERFORMANCE

The Wreck of the FIesperus," which was given Friday evening at the Normal auditorium was d decid ed success and was much enjoyed by those present. It is to be remem- bered that when any musician at town and with @ limited number of trained voices, he or she, must be given credit for the effort. Miss Myrtle Rice, under whose direction the performance was presented, made q success of a difficult piece of mu- sic and the musicians of the town were pleased to see it. Only those who have attempted it. can know the difficulties and discouragementS in volved in producing a musical work with the assistance of amateur sing CTS. There was. as is always the case, a notable Gearth of tenOrs, but even with this deficiency the chorus as a whole was pleasing and the solos well taken care of. The two solos rendered by Miss Marion Cook pre- vious to the Cantata presentation were pleasing and her voice appeared well adapted to songs of that nature. The girls chorus did splendidly and their numbers were enjoyed by all and the reception accorded them was a just reward for the time spent in their preparation.

EARLY MORNING FIREI: X RAzES TEMPE HOUSE

The Tempe House. one of the early landmarks of the town, went up in fire shortly after o'clock yesterday mot. ing and for a time the aGjoin- in3 buildings and even the entire bloc, Of which it was the nucleus, were threatened by the fast spread ing flames Remarkably quick work on the part of at least half hun- dred citizens who volunteered their services in fighting tEe fire, brought quick returns, however, and with three hoses playing on the structure, the flames were kept well within the high brick walls on either side. Slight damage was sustained by the Grand billiard and pool hall on the north of tcc building and that establishment will probably remain closed for day or two, but the Pioneer meat market on the south sustained such little damage that it was able to corGlct business about as usual yesterday.
 How or in what part of the estab- lishment the flames first caught is not known After the fire had eaten
  ed by roomer in a lodging house across the street The alarm was promptly turned in. but by the time nose carts had arrived and water was available the entire structure was but d seething mass. The Company C armory adjoined the building on the north in the second story apartment and water was played on that in time 10 save it from any serious damage Several abandoned rooms over the meat market were destroyed.
 TEe fact that the Tempe House was one of the first buildings to be built in the block and that it was founded on both sides by heavy brick walls undoubtedly saved a majority of the other establishments next to it. The building was owned by Mons FL lingsen and was occupied by R. C. Shilkett as a pool hall. Both parties carried insurance on .heir properties that will cover about half of the

FINDING THE ERRORS.

Governor Pinkham' s stand that the Nuuanu
water problem needs more investigation to in
sure reliable data has already brought fruit IN
the discovery of what is said to be a material
error in figuring the power to be derived from
the Hillebrand glen project. 1t appears that
the engineer or engineers who figured the
power took city statistics in which serious
typographical error appeared in the difference
between the height of Reservoirs and 3, and
that instead of getting about 81 horsepower, as
the governors report shows, the city water
plant would get 240 horsepower
Furthermore, emphatic Alteration is being
drawn to the necessity for safeguarding the
purity of the Nuuanu supply by such measures
as can be taken. It's all right to say that these
measures would be taken anyway, but the fact
is the dangers have been pointed out for years
with little effect in getting anything done.
The Oahu loan fund commission is not bound
by law to accept the governors figures or his
advice But common sense counsels it to get
busy with the board of health and thrash this
question of sanitary safeguards out to the last
syllable Those who howl now because the
governor has drawn attention to the need for
thorough investigation and extreme prudence
in guarding public health would be the first to
howl about inefficiency and criminal negli-
gence in public office if an epidemic broke out
in Honolulu traceable to the Nuuanu water
supply.

ARMY APPROPRIATIONS HALTED.

(From the Army and Navy Register.
The hearings on the estimates winch form
the basis Of the army appropriation bill, COW
ering the expenditures for the support of the
military establishment for the next fiscal year,
have been concluded in less time than is oldin-
arily devoted to that subject. This is perhaps
due in part to the fact that exhaustive hearings
we're held by the house military committee ON
army organization. The committee has been
considering the measure In accordance with
the increases provided in the army organiza-
ton bill as it passed the house. As the bill
stands it carries an appropriation of more than
$140,O 900. 1t looks assif this amount might
be increased to $200,000000 as the result of
the senate deliberations of its army organiza-
ton BILL At all events the army approrria-
ton bill will not be reported from the house
military committee and cannot be taken up in
the house until the conferees have come to a
conclusion on the army organization bill and
that measure is approved by the president
There are such differences in the house and
senate bills that the adjustment must be made
by the house and senate conferees. 1t will be,
however simple matter to change the pro
visions of the army appropriation bill to meet
the finally adopted conditions of the army 9r-
ganization and increase.

WHERE THE CITY CARES FOR THE
BABIES.

Dayton, Ohio has Baby Week all the year
around.
That is to say, the city has director OF pub
lie welfare as a regular official, just as Homo
lulu has a city treasurer or chief of police.
Dr. ID. F. Garland, the Dayton director, is an
expert in the care of children.
Inasmuch as it is the purpose to establish a
permanent child-welfare station in Honolulu,
here are some very valuable pointers from
Dayton:
All public health feld-nursing is brought un-
der one supervision and centered in one place.
This center is in the Welfare offices.
Instead of three public health nursing cen
tiers in the city, there is now one, the city pro-
viding rent, heat and janitor service, each or
ganization paying the salaries of its staff,
the nurses all supervised by the one superin-
tendent of nurses and all the staff under the di-
rection of the Commissioner of Health. The
city is divided into districts, one nurse serving
ia each district and doing all types of field
nursing The benefits of this plan are:
a Control Of all public health nursing by one sal
b Economy of time. Overlapping of nurse service
is wholly emina ted by centering nurse to cover
entire service in limited given district and
or health service to smother.
C. Increased efficiency by centralzing responsible
ity coordinating three services under central plan
Of action, thus securing a single policy and bal
anced scheme Of development
Reduction of the size of the district, thus bring
ing the nurse into closer relation to the families.
e. Dealing with the family unit with better
results In promoting the health of the family.
I. Meets the demands of business efficiency.
Special attention given and effort made to
reduce infant mortality, with the result that in
- -.
thousand in 1913 to 95.S in 1914, and to 1873 in
1915 This low death rate of babies is regarded
rs remarkable, compared with the rate for the
United States which is ia.
The standard of the milk supply has been
raised, the bacterial average on city milk hav-
ing been lowered in the last two years so per
cent; cleaner markets with better sanitary con-
ditions; cleaner bakeries and candy factories,
and much better handling Of food products
have been secured.
