A feature of the scheme is to pro-
vide halliday work for women whose
family ties would make that welcome.
In the morning mothers will attend
to their households and children, and
so be free to work in the afternoon
from five to six hours To care for
the children in the absence of the
mothers, special nurseries and kinder
gartens will be established Some Of
the women's organizations favor the
plan that elderly women take the chill
dren of their working neighbors into
their homes
The program for the undertaking
is now being worked out by represen-
tatives OF the women's organizations
and the ministry of war. The larger
of the organizations are: The Fedora
ton Of Austrian Women's societies,
Vienna Woman Wage Farmers asso-
citation, the Catholic Women's Organ
izations of Lower Austria, Austrian
Woman Suffrage committee. State Or
ganization OF Austrian Housekeepers,
Austrian General Women's associa-
ton, Social-Democratic Womens Or
ganization, Federation of Female
Teachers and Educators, Federation
OF Working Women, Federation of Fe-
male Postal Service Employees, High
School Teachers society, Federation
OF Social Settlement Work, and the
New Woman clubs. Several dozen OF
smaller Austrian and hundreds of To-
cal women's clubs and societies are
| also assisting the movement.

also the female postal employees, in
Guiding the women drivers and chauf-

roads they have also been very sue
cessful. especially as telegraph oper-
ators, ticket agents, and freight de-
partment officials. Most of the cler-
ical work of the various governments
is being done by women. Firms whose
male employees were called to the COL
ors have been obliged to replace these
by women. In the ammunition far
tories thousands of women are said
to be doing excellent work. In a plan,

Noted Financier, Leaving New
York, Expresses Confidence
in Business Outlook

Judge Ebert II. Gary, chairman of
the United States Steel Corporation,
is expected to pass through Honolulu
Philippines for q three months trip.
The noted financier visited here last
year and liked Hawaii very much, but
IL is reported that Mr.. and Mrs. Gary
will not stop here on their outward

Prior to leaving New York Judge
Gary gave out statement in which
he said the steel business was better
than ever before and that the earn
lngs OF the corporation for the quar-
ter JUST closed were greater than the
previous quarter, which of itself es-
tablished a record He also sounded a
note of caution, with particular refer
ence to labor troubles. The statement
follows:
"The steel business in the United
States for domestic use and for ex-
port is better than ever before. The
production is larger, the profits great
er and the workmen are receiving
higher wages. II.
"The untitled orders for the various
products of the subsidiary companies
OF the corporation aggregate nearly
100000 tons and about 100000
tons of this total have already been
specified for actual delivery Besides,
the present daily bookings are about
so per cent Of full producing capacity.
We are producing at the rate of 81.
900 or $1,000 tons per day.
THE earnings for the current quar-
ter will not be made up until the day
the figures are given to the public, but
1t seems apparent they will be in ex-
cess Of the earnings for the last quar-
ter.N

WORK
DURING JUNE IS
TOLD in REPORT

OF the work done by the depart.
ment of forestry Superintendent G. S.
Judd has presented routine report for
June, dated July II, in which he says
in part: ~. ........ .e.s.a-. .-@-t
"The survey of the proposed new
forest reserve on the north slope OF
the Waianae mountains back of Waia-
lua and Mokuleia was completed dur
ing the month and includes total
area of $3.50 acres, 95 per cent of
which is government land. Some adj
ditional data must first be obtained
before the project of creating this
area as a forest reserve can be sub
mitted to you for, approval.
Sufficient wire was hauled up to
the forest reserve boundary in Waio-
mao valley, Palolo, preliminary to the
construction of stretch of 5000 feet
Of fence which will be built in CO
operation with tile adjacent owner to
protect the forest ana watershed in
that region. "
One day was spent along the Nuu-
anu valley road within the Honolulu
watershed forest reserve posting
signs, cutting down dead trees and
pulling up golden rod plants which
had begun to run wild in a few places.
The repairing of the Lualualei for
est reserve boundary fence for a dis
lance of 6.65 miles was completed dur
ing the month and all cattle driven
from the reserve. On a s6etch of
liz miles, new fence, necessary for
the protection of one end of the re-
serve, is now being constructed and
will be completed within a month.
''On June and Z, visited forest
reserve lands in the region of Lua-
lualei and Makua and, in company
with Superintendent G. K. harrison,
investigated two water projects and
forest fencing required by a land
office lease. Copies of our reports on
these matters to the land commits
sioRer are herewith attached.
During the month tree planting on
the Kamalomalo flats within the Ke-
ALA forest reserve, Kauai, was begun
by Forest Ranger Lowell. The object
OF planting is fuel production and
water conservation and the prelimin.

boundary is in the nature Of a wind.

so The Japanese instruction had 70
be relnodelled To adapt itself TO this
new state Of things general cen
ference OF the educators was held in
Honolulu in 1914. and everything was
gone through. and the following con-
illusions were arrived at:
Il. A text book should be compiled
that ldGpts well, both In quality and
quantity, to the mind of American
children of Japanese parentage.
80. Japanese schools should not be
schools as public schools are schools.
but form OF extended homes, or what
one may cali educational homes.
where the japanese language will be
taught On hour day and the moral
welfare of the children will kindly be
taken care OF.
80. As a form of the educational
home japanese schools should do their
best in making their service useful in
every way TO the cause OF public in
strictiDn.
TO realize these conclusions in
Japanese schools. the central board OF
the directors of Japanese language
schools was formed In 1916, with Prof.
Moriyama of the Central Institute,
Principal Mashimo of the Makih Ian
guage school, Mr.. Tsunoda, supervis-
ing principal of Hongwanji education
al home, and Mr.. 0uchi of Honolulu
educational home, as its members;
Hon. Moroi, consul-general; Rev. Y.
Imamura, bishop of the Hongwanji
mission; Rev. II. Okumura, pastor of
Makiki church, and Rev. z. Ito Of Ka-
kaako Jodo mission, as its advisers.
Laws and bylaws Of the board are as

At T
SAN DIEGO BIGGER
THANLAST YEAR
Best Records For Single Day
Are Twice improved BY
Growing Crowds

Another record was established at
the Panama California International
Exposition at San Diego, Tuesday,
July 4, when $3.50 persons visited the
exposition grounds. Another feature
OF 1916 attendance worthy of note in
this connection is that the record held
before this. time was one made during
1916 when a few hundred less than
45, 900 were on the grounds. In the
face of statements that the 1916 ex-
position is doomed to failure and can
not repeat the success of 1915, the
actual figures show that from the re-
opening in 1916 until midnight of July
4. the 1916 attendance is 2S,5I6 great
er than for the same period last year.
The total attendance from March IS,
1915, to July 5 was 620,191. The
total from this same date to July 5,
1916, is 64S,707. March Is is taken
as the starting point for the exposition
because it was the 1916 Dedication
Day and prior to this time no build.
ings were open and no inducements
were offered in the way of special
features to obtain attendance.
Another comparison which means
much is that the first four days of
July of this year are 22,S35 greater
than the first four days of July in
1915, and this record in the face of
conditions in Mexico and false ru-
mors that San Diego was in danger.
