DANCE AND LIVE H..
LONG, SHE SAYS

Mrs. Mary Schenck Woolman, a
noted educator, connected with the
teachers college of Columbia univer
sity, told large gathering of lead
ing professional women at the Bos-
ton Women's City club the other night
to get out and dance and enjoy life.
Women are not spontaneous
enough" Mrs. Woolman said. Eve
must get out and make ourselves
young Let US dance and have good
time, so that we can get lots of fun
out of life. If we do we will take
many nails out of our collins, and
out of the collins of other people, too.
Women do too much worrying, es-
pecially those in executive positions.
They are always going back to do
over something that somebody else
has already done just because they
are afraid that the other person has
not done it right. Men can turn work
over to others without worrying how
well it is done. Women should do
the same. -
Men have common sense. We wo.
men have not, but we must develop
common sense If we are to get along
in this world. -
Men relax more than. women and
have good times. At Moons they get

Land MORE Than
TON OF Fish in
MOLOK|NI TRIP

This has been the best trip we
have had. While we were away we
landed more than a ton of fish with
rod and line, and last Friday we broke
the worlds record for yellow-fin
tuna"
That is the way Frederick X. Burn
ham of Martinez, Calf, enthuses over
the big game fishing to be had in the
Molokini waters off Kihei, Maui. Mr..
Burnham returned to Honolulu this
morning.
Besides our catch of five tuna Fri
day afternoon. we landed two more
tuna Saturday. All of them were
yellow-fin, and we did not see any of
the blue fin variety. In addition we
caught immense numbers of every
variety of game sea fish to be found
around the islands. One afternoon
sharks bothered us greatly, and took
six tuna as we were about to land
them. They not only, attacked the
hooked tuna, but cut our lines with
their fins"
H. L. Morris of Denver and James
w. Jump of Los Angeles, who were
also on the trip with Mr.. Burnham,
are expected back Saturday or Sun
day morning.

AyEAR OF GAIN FOR WOMEN.

In the United States 1915 saw q
tremendous gain IN the economic and
physical welfare OF women and chill.
dren. Eight states passed laws pro-
viding for pensions for mothers. In
six others the divorce laws we're
strengthened. Seven states took the
first steps toward giving women equal
suffrage and although the movement
was defeated in Massachusetts,. New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania,
this year 1t is expected Iowa, South
Dakota and West Virginia will re-
verse the result. Three states passed
new labor laws for women and chill
dren, limiting the hours. and the maxi
mum wage movement made distinct
advance. Three states put wife and
husband On an equal footing tn prop
erty rights. New Jersey authorized
women policemen. Oregon passed a
law forbidding discrimination in sal
aries between male and female pub
lie school teachers. California's leg
islature declared by vote that woman
suffrage in that state had been an
unqualified success. In the records of
woman's progress in America 1915
win be accounted an important year.

PERSONAL VS.. HOME EXPENSES.

Too many men try to cut the ex-
penses of the home and never think OF
reducing their personal outlay.
Men grumble at the size of the gro.
Gerry bill for the week when they have
spent rs much, and perhaps more. in
satisfying their own desires for com.
fort or in making good fellows OF
themselves.
II seems to be the nature Of men In
general to make the cut in their own
expenses the last thing thought Of.
It should be first.
A man will lose ten dollars in a
poker game and on the way home re-
solve that he VIII never play again;
but IL his wife should ask for that sum
for new hat he would grumble and
many times fly into rage over the
extravaganza of his helpmeet,
Mans personal expenses should be
pruned first: then, If it becomes neces.
sary to reduce the outlay look for
other leaks, but the home comfort ex.
penses should be the last ones cut.
A peaceful. comfortable home, with
smoothly running. machinery, is es.
,seRtial to the personal and individual
success of each member of the fam
lily, so slice all other expenses to the
lowest possible point before you cut
down the real home comforts.

since 1891
Game First Started in Y. M.

II the Honolulu Y. M c. A. basket
ball team makes good on the coast.
and basketball fans who know the
coast game say they will make good,
IL will be big boost for Honolulu
athletics Basketball as a major
sport is rapidly gaining its way, and
in every college OF the mainland it
is considered one OF The four big
sports OF the college year.
Ii is fitting that the team that
should represent Honolulu should be
the Honolulu Y. NJ. C. A. team, for
besides being the best basketball
team that can be secured in the is
lands, basketball itself is Y. NJ c.
A. game. invented by James Naismith,
an instructor in the Y. NJ. G. A. Col
lege at Springfield IL was % years
ago that Naismith first thought Of
the game, making II up out of whole
cloth. The game is without tradi-
ton and the rules are practically the
same as when they were first written.
The playing floor has practically re-
NAMED the same. Naismith is now
with the Kansas University at Law
renee, Kansas
The baskets formerly had a bottom,
but the advisability of a hole in the
bottom was soon evident The first
rule is the same as when ii was first
written-that the playing floor shall
be any floor free from obstruction,
containing not more than 1000 square
feet of playing space. It was difficult
at first to get ball, and the old
round football was used for the pur-
pose BY 1894 the game had become
widely popular, being played in both
Paris and Melbourne. Women quick
ly took the game up in a modified
form, the girls at Smith, nearby, hold
ing inter-class contests long ago.
Gymnasiums were formerly built
with posts to hold up the roof, but
with the introduction of basketball
clear floor was necessary. The.
steel Orders solved the problem.
Finally special floors were built for
basket ball. The local Y. NJ. c. A. has
a large special floor devoted for. the
most part to the game.

TO LIMIT PURSUIT
COMPLIANCE WITH cARRANZA'S
REQUEST PREDICTED AS RE-
SUIT OF CONFERENCE.
Government Willing to Give Assur-
ances That Troops viii be With

Washington.-President Wilson has
decided to inform General Carranza,
in response to his request for with
drawal of the American troops from
Mexico, that the United States will
negotiate for an agreement along
these lines:
The United States government is
willing to agree to fix a limit on the
distance American troops now in pur-
suit Of Villa shall proceed into Mex
leo, and to make that limit not much
further south than the troops already
have proceeded.
The United States government is
willing to give assurances that the
American troops will be withdrawn
within "a reasonable time" or as soon
as it is definitely established that vii
la has reached point where he car
be dealt with better by the Carranza

These points, it became known Sat
urday night, were discussed fully at 6

catching Villa. A reply to Genera
Carranza Is said to be virtually com
pleted, and is expected to go forward
in very short time.

GERMANY MUST
KEEP PROMISES
PRESIDENT HAS COMPLETED
NOTE WHICH is LAST WORD
ON SUBMARINE ISSUE.
Makes it Clear That Only Immediate
Change in German Policy Can
Make Possible Continuance of
Friendly Relations.

Washington. - The communication
which he has drafted as the last word
of the United States to Germany on
the submarine, issue was completed
by President Wilson ON Monday.
The document reviews Germany's
submarine activities since the Lusi.
tania was sunk, almost a year ago
and makes clear that only an imme
date change in the German policy
can make possible the continuance OF
friendly relations between the two
nations.
AS soon as the president had fin
ished the communication to Germany
he directed that Senator Stone, chair
man Of the senate foreign relations
committee, be invited to the White
house, in order that he might be in
formed of the intentions of the ad
ministration.
Mr.. Wilson himself was the only OF
fetal familiar with all the details o
the document, but it was learned au
phatic and vigorous diplomatic pape
the president ever has approved.
Attacks without warning by subma
rines on merchants vessels since Ger
many gave notice that ships carry
ing guns would be considered as yes

led by the president, with the result
ing conclusion that promises made b
Germany have not been followed
When the preparation of the case G
the United States was begun it wa
found that sixty-five vessels hav
been reported officially and unofficia
ly as having been attacked withou
warning by German submarines will
in the past few weeks. Official II
ports have not confirmed all these ii
cidents, however, and, therefore, a

Hard Fought Infantry engagements
Around Verdun, While British Re-

Trenches South of Bethune.

London.-The Turks have met with
Russians in the Black sea littoral,
Petrograd reports that the Russians
have driven the Ottomans from
strongly organized position fifteen
miles east of Trebizond and are pur-
suing them theoretically.
The Douaumont-Vaux sector north
east of Verdun has been the scene of
another hard-fought infantry engage
ment, but the Paris and Berlin official
reports are at variance as regards the
result. Paris reports that south OF
Douaumont the French troops in an
attack captured sections of German
trenches and took 200 prisoners. Ber-
lin asserts that in the fighting which
extended from Fort Douaumont to the
Vaux ravine, the French we're re-
pulsed with sanguinary casualties and
in addition lost 200 men taken prison
ers.
The Germans are heavily lombard
ing French positions in the Avocourt
wood and on hill 304, and consider.
able artillery activity also is being
displayed around Douaumont and in
the Woevre about Moulainville, Hau

San Antonio, Texas.-General Fun
ston on Tuesday ordered to Columbus
approximately 1900 men now stationed
along the border. There they will be
under command Of General Pershing
and probably will be hurried into
Mexico to protect the line while troops
of that line will be sent forward to
support the advance columns and
guard extensions of the line of COM

General Funston has asked for more
troops for border patrol. He admit
ted on Tuesday that he ordered the
additional troops to Columbus first
and informed Washington later what
he had done. The move was in re,
Spouse to urgent requests of General
Pershing that his line of communica
ton be protected against any contin

This is the most extensive troop
