QUAkERS WON'T OBEY
STATE MILITARY BILLS
Vote Also Condemns Compul-
sorry Training and School Drills.

Opposition TO compulsory military
training, which, Quakers say, is an open
defiance Of state laws, was approved
unanimously yesterday at the annual
meeting Of the Society Of Friends at
their meeting house in Rutherfurd
Square. Those at the meeting voted
70 refuse to obey the Slater-W Welsh
bills. which provide for physical train
ing in public schools, and military
training for boys between sixteen and
nineteen. This action will be referred
10 the annual meeting Of the Orthodox
Friends at Poughkeepsie to-day.
Mrs. Edna B. Kearns charged that
had the Quakers done their duty BY
opposing the bills at Albany the laws
would never have been passed

NO Chilli INSULT,
SAYS UNTERMYER
Denies That Officers OF the
Tennessee Were Dis
courteous to Hosts.

Samuel Untermyer at his home
Greystone, last night characterized the
stories from Valparaiso that officers OF
the cruiser Tennessee were guilty Of
gross misconduct toward officers OF the
CHILEAN navy at Valparaiso as on par
with reports that Secretary McAdoo
ard members of the American COM
mission were discourteous to the Peru
Wan government while at Callao. he
said that both stories were without
particle of justification, and had been
circulated for political effect.
Mr. Untermyer declared that the
dinner at Valparaiso at which ice
cream is alleged TO have been ruooed
on a CHILEAN officer'ss head took place
before Mr.. McAdoo and his party ar
rived in Valparaiso. The commission
ers and their party Jurneyed from
Buenos Ayres across the continent anG
the Tennessee was in port at Ealpa-
raise several days before the commits
sioners reached Santiago.
After reaching the capital, Mr.. Cn'
termyer said he talked with numerous
CHILEAN officials, and none OF them re-
ferred 10 any misconduct on the part
of the officers or crew OF the Iennes'
see.
Navy men in New York agreed yes
terday that publication OF the charges
AGAINST the Tennessee's officers was po'
litically inspired. For several reasons
thew did not consider seriously the pos
sibilitv that any Of the charges might
be true. .,:.

acceptance is that the cruiser i

WAIAKEA ROAD
BIDS Opened;

Tenders From Big Island Con-
siderabIy Higher Than Work
ina Fund of $13,493.@

Bids for the construction of the Wal
akea homestead road. district OF Hilo,
were opened today in the office of the
superintendent of public works. Only
two bids were handed in, one from
the county Of Hawaii, whose figures
are $17,59150 and SI5.ca5.50. and the
other from Jose F. Ferreira OF Hilo,
whose figures are S17.2GS.50 and S15,-
26S. so. II.
Because only sl3,4S3.60 was avail
able for the homestead road work on
September /. it probably will be found
necessary to make some alterations
in various units in the specifications
in order that bids may be pared down
to fit the amount of money now on
hand, before the contract is awarded.
To construct the road with a top
surfacing of crusher macadam, the
county OF Hawaii bids $17,59l.50 and
agrees to complete the work in 80
days. 1t bids S15,605.5O to construct
the road according to specifications
but with a surfacing OF gravel or field
material. 1t agrees 10 finish the work
in 80 DAYS.
Ferreira bid eI7,26S.50 to con.
struct the road with macadam sur.
face and agrees 10 finish the work In
100 days. To construct the road with
surface of gravel or field material
he bids $4,000 less and agrees to fin
ish the work in the same time.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR EYES.

| Sight being almost as valuable az
seem to be unnecessary that the eyes
should be scrupulously cared for. Yet
OF city and country oculists alike
are crowded, day after day and week
after week, by people who have been
criminally negligent of their vision
Reading too fine print, unleaded and
| often on glossy paper, is responsible
for much of the mischief. Poor
illumination is another destructive
agency. Overindulgence in Tobacco
OF alcohol and reading too soon after
recovery from an acute illness, play
also part in the throwing away Of
sight.
One of the least excusable Of
agencies is the use of proprietary
nostrums, both made and sold by men
who. know little OR nothing about the
eye, and, in addition, have never cX-
amined the eyes of the, individual
patient. These ncstrums are generally
advertised as great discoveries bat

educated oculists, and VIII CHI are use

the person who employs them does o.
does not understand tie diseases of
the eye and the effects of medicines
thereon in all their varying stages.
Spectacles too, are bought by maay
people who should know better OF
quacks whose only education consists
of six weeks correspondence course
under the ignorant auspices of a di
Fiona mill. The deplorable results

The eye is, in fact, so valuable an
organ, and is SO frequently diseased in
its de- per parts, while, externally. it
seems to be absolutely sound, and
is so frequently affected
by the diseases of various other por-
tons of the body that no one should

Or W th its fitting by means Of lenses,

JEWS ON FARMS.

Most of the Jews who have come to
America have lived in the cities,
where they have been markedly sue
cessful as a general rule, as traders.
In recent years, however, there has
been a to-.he-land movement
among the Jews in America, and now
il is stated that there are fully 5O,-
900 Amer can Jews owning farms.
In ancient days the Jews were
about the best farmers in the world
Neither the Babylonians, Assyrians
Or Egyptians surpassed them in agri-
culture. Though, like the Phoenicians,
their situation in Canaan, at the gate
way between the civ lizations of the
cast and west, developed the trading
instinct, yet they never abandoned the
noble art Of tilling the soil to best
advantage
