P. 0. RECEIVES
WIRE HAMPERS

Six of the wire hampers being used
as an experiment on the Pacific for
the transportation of fragile parcel
post packages were received by the
Honolulu post office in the Korea
Maru mail, Which was the largest
coming in here on any one boat for a
long time There were 917 bags OF
mail on the Korea, much of it second
class or parcel post mail, as the Willis
arriving Saturday brought letter NAH
from San Francisco.
Each of the wire hampers will hold
as much as three mail bags, and all
were filled with insured and sealed
fragile packages. All the packages ar
rived here in good condition, which
has not been the case in the past
when mail bags we're used.
The experiment with the wire hamp-
ers is being made by the post office
department on the recommendation OF
Postmaster D. H. MacAdam to the
second assistant postmaster general.
So many fragile packages were re-
ceived here in bad condition, due to
the rough handling on the steamers,
that he took the question up with the
department and suggested the use OF
hampers.
At present the hampers are being
used between Seattle and San Fran.
cisco, Honolulu and San Francisco and
Sydney and San Francisco. II they
prove a success, as now indicated.
they may eventually be used for trans
mission of fragile parcel post matter
between the different islands of the
Hawaiian group.
Mail bags serve the purpose for the
transmitting of the packages by rail,
but when they have to be handled in

men who are not employees of the

WATCH RAGE
SWAMPS MANUFACTURERS

Wrist watches are the rage. Every
soldier wants one, every woman wants
one, and everybody else wants one.
All the watch factories are making
wrist watches: the jobbers order 1000
wrist watches and get about eight.
They can't supply the demand for
wrist watches" says Joseph Schwartz,
wholesale watch dealer, who arrived
in Honolulu today after a brief bust
ness and pleasure trip to the main
land.
The Keystone watch factory is so
swamped with orders for this type OF
watch that has come into fashion
since the war started, that they can't
fill their orders. It is the same with
other factories. The jobbers are
crazy for this article and can't get it."
declared Mr.. Schwartz.
Mr.. Schwartz left his wife and fam
lily in San Francisco, but returns him.
self for permanent stay.

The growth of the game of golf In
the United States during the last
ltwenty-three years has far surpassed
the most optimistic prediction of the
handful of enthusiasts who organized
the United State Golf Association on
December %, 1894. Its popularity
and benefits soon become apparent
however and some idea of the expan.
sion of the game may be gained by
looking over the report of the "Liber-
ty Tournament" held under the aus.
pices of the United States Golf Asso-
citation on July 4, 1917, from which it
will be interesting to note that the
association communicated with no
less than 1,497 golf clubs.
Every state in the union was rep.

no, Nevada, New Mexico and Oregon,
and the amount received at the time
the report was issued in October was
over $4,000. Since that time, how
ever, the total has been increased to
more than $4,000 due to late returns
from clubs that held the event. The
undertaking was decided success
from every standpoint and demonstra-
ted that the golfers of the United
States exerted themselves to make
this event nationwide, patriotic tes-

The indications are that most of
the more important intercollegiate
track meetings will be held in 1918.
The I. G. A. A. A. A. expects to hold
its annual field meeting and the other
associations and conferences will hold
theirs. Some colleges, of course, will
not be represented at ALL and teams
for many causes, including the finan-
cial one, will be smaller than usual.
But the meetings will be held. They
will be held, il for no other reason, to
stimulate increased participation in
regimental, company, class and dormi-
tory sports within the colleges them
selves. The germ of intercollegiate
athletic rivalry, though relatively dor
mant has survived even in war time
and the thought that the winners In
these intramural sports will represent
the college in the intercollegiate con-
tests will give those sports an added
interest to the undergraduate.

oping in an encouraging way now
Many little meets are being held and
while the number who take part isn't
as large as 1t will be, men are coming
out who would be reluctant about

And once again the worlds at rest.

And folds her children to her breast;
But high above the counter pane,
Naked stands mems shattered homes,
The wreath of snow is little more

OF death and desolation rife,
Raises his trumpet to his lips
And calls the dead to light and life
Redeemed souls now leave the spot
Where all that's mortal of them lies
And journeying with a hymn of praise
Follow the angel through the skies.
They halt before the throne of God

Ye that have made the sacrifice,
Come unto Me, your works are blest.
And shall live and bear mucn fruit.
And other men shall sing thy fame
Ye that were purged in fire and blood
Have nations drawn unto My name"
