SAYS BUSINESS
 IS GETTING BETTER
 IN FURNITURE LINE

.Yes, business Is getting better
 every day" said James Hood of
 Hood X Wheeler, dealers in fur
 niture. "There is one thing that
 have noticed particularly, and 1t
 is more noticeable in the furniture
 business than in any other line
 and that is thnt collections are
 better; they have been better for
 several months"
 This is positive evidence that we have more money in the city. The people are a bit more conservative in buying our line than any other, for some furniture is in fact 8 luxury, and we naturally ex- pected lull when the first war scare came on, for the first few weeks espe- ciaIly It did not last long. We are get ting our usual run of business now, and the collections are better than ever be- fore.'
 ''I am as positive a I a m that I am talking to you that this war is going to he the greatest blessing that ever was given us. No matter which way we look at it now, that is what we are going to see in the end"

EVERY CITIZEN WHO

While some event notnow expected may terminate the war before the entire mili- tary strength of the United States can be recruited and equipped it is known
 that the war department is proceeding on the theory that to destroy Germany,
 this country will need it's every man and it's every dollar.
 The war department is preparing as if the burden was to borne alone by the
 United States. While, of course, the
 United States will as long as the war continues, have the aid of it's allies, it is
 believed in Washington that before the struggle is concluded several years will have elapsed, and several million Ameri- cans will have seen service in France.

ADVISE single
ACCIDENT BOARD
FOR TERRITORY
lspeeiaI star.BuIIetin Correspondeneel l

Especial Star.BulIetin Correspondenee) I
WAILUKU, Maui, Jan. 27.-h the
recommendation OF the Maui indus
trial accident board is followed, the
coming legislature will so amend the
workmen's compensation law Of the
territory so that one board will handle
the work which is now handled indie
pendently by the several county
boards. ..E
The Maui board held q meeting last
Monday, at which this and various 9TH
er changes in the law were suggested.
The board believes that the work
could be better administered by sin
gle body devoting most Of its time
to the work, and with paid clerks on
each of the islands. The board also
urges that a uniform form of policy
be prescribed for Insurance companies
desiring to do business under the act.
II would also have the companies re-
quired to furnish insurance to small
employers at much lower minimum
than the present SO rate.
Territorial Insurance Department
Z The Maui board is also strong for
territorial Insurance bureau to be ad-
ministered on business lines, but de-
signed to furnish compensation insur-
ance ct as low a rate as possible to
those required to, carry 1t. Thesboard
does not believe that such territorial
board should exercise q monopoly of
this class of insurance, but that 1t
should serve rather as a check upon
the Independent companies. & ~. +
Various other Recommendations are
also to be made in the report soon
TO go forward to the governor. Among
these clearer definition of laboreE
entitled to compensation should be
given in order to avoid disputes The
fact that the $50 allowed by law for
surgical and hospital expenses is often
entirely inadequate. as shown by +ex-
perience, will call for recommends
tion accordingly, --...... ~ d

Bryan's opinion such question Is
properly for the consideration of q

be to investigate the hitherto un,

to Hawaiian sportsmen Is the mullet.,
Since knowledge of this fish Is very
