MAUI Lines Up
INLOCAL WORK
FOR RED CROSS
Organization of Women Formed
Which Will Become Auxiliary
to Great National Body
Especial ssar.Bullstin Correspondence

L
WAILUKU, Maui, Aug. 15.-ln com
mon with the rest of the United
States, Maui has finally gotten in
line behind the American Red Cross
and hereafter all relief work done In
this county will be done as an auxn-
larry of the national body.
The decision to take this step was
made at a meeting at the Kahului
community house last Sunday after
noon, which had been called by the
women of the Hawaiian Allied War
Relief Association, which was organ
lied before the United States became
involved for helping the Allied arraies
In England and France and to relieve
the suffering in stricken Belgium.
The meeting was called to order by
Frank F. Baldwin. Senator A. l.. Cas-
tie, who has been at the head of the
relief work in Honolulu, addressed the
meeting, explaining the changes that
have taken place since the United
States became involved in the great
conflict, and urging that the Maui peo-
Die become allied with the American
Red Cross, as Honolulu and Hilo have
already done.
Ladies' Take Lead
Mr.. Castles suggestion met with
general approval, and following his ad-
dress the women took charge Of the
meeting with Mrs. E. E. Boyum as
temporary chairman and Mrs. Ben
Williams as temporary secretary, and
proceeded to form a permanent Or
ganization along the lines suggested.
The following permanent officers
were elected: Mrs. F. F. Baldwin,
president; Mrs. s. e. Taylor, vice
president; Mrs. H. D. SIoggett, secre-
tary, Mrs. H. W. Rice, treasurer.
District Leaders Soon
It was decided that the county shall
be divided into districts, a leader
over each to be appointed by the
president. These district leaders are
to be named shortly. The work will
be carried on in much the same man
scale, and Of course, under instruc'
lions from the Red Cross. It is 70
consist of sewing and making such
articles as are most needed at the
front.
Men to Help Financially
The men Of the community are not
included as active members in the
new auxiliary, but they are not to be
overlooked. They are to form ftnan-
cial membership, the duties Of which,
it is said, will be quite important, If
inconspicuous.
Warning Issued
Senator Castle stated that every
body permitted to do work for the
Red Cross should be vouched for in
some manner, and aid accepted from
no person not above suspicion. This
for the reason that attempts have been
made elsewhere to do injury by pois-
oning wound dressings, and by other
such diabolical means attempting to
undo the work of others in aiding
American arms and in relieving dis
tress.

IS AN OLD MAID ONLY A FOURTH
OF A WOMAN
>.- By DOROTHY DIX
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman
Writer

Not long ago a clever writer de-
clared that an old bachelor was only
half man.
An unmarried woman says: Bach
elors stand in higher esteem socially
than spinsters do, so II a bachelor Is
only half a man are we old maids
only a fourth of a woman?
Nonsense. There is no spiritual
BertilIon system OF measurements by
which we can gauge the essence Of the
individual and tell what he or she
is to himself or herself, or what he
or she gives to the world or gets out
Of life. And that constituted the man
or woman's value and is his or her
mother.
Many OF the biggest Drained, biggest
hearted, biggest souled, tenderest,
most sympathetic, and helpful people
never marry, and to say that these
are half or quarter size portions Of
humanity Is folly.
This is particularly true Of women
for the reason that most old maids
are old maids because they were
finer and more discriminating than the
majority OF their married sisters. Any
woman who Is not an actual mon
strosity can acquire a husband If she
will take any sort Of one that she
can get. Il IL the women who have
the courage Of their convictions not
TO marry az all unless they find
man who comes up to their ideal Of
manhood, who fill the ranks Of the
bachelor maids. ~ &c. 3, -
And Il Is these women who are in
the forefront Of every movement for
the public good who IN private are
the self sacrificing props that keep
millions Of other peoples homes from
topping into ruins. t ...
It Is the daughter who never mar.
RES who takes care OF the old father,
and mother and humors their whims
and crochets. It Is the old maid sis
ter who teaches school and gives the
younger members Of the family O.
fhance In life she never had. It IL

RUNAWAY HORSE CRASHES
INTO STUFF MANS AUTO

Tearing along Beretania street, a
runaway horse hitched to an express
wagon, smashed into automobile 1855,

While the wagon was being unloaded

started away, raced along King street,
into Aala lane, and thence onto Bere-
tania, where it collided with the ma

IN the Savings Banks.

That the resources of the 322
State banks in South Carolina in
creased by more than $11, 100000
from March, 1916, to March, 1917,
and that deposits increased more
than $12, 1000, 900 in the same period
are encouraging and significant
facts, but more encouraging is the
increase in savings deposits, from
s22, 100000 to $3O,O00,0O0.
The number of depositors as shown
by the report of the State banking
department is now 100000 and the
average deposit is $266. These
figures have reference only to the
State banks.
There can be no more certain sign
of prosperity and the thrift that
produces 1t than the spread of the
savings account habit-and it is
spreading more rapidly in South
Carolina now than ever before. -Tht
