Action On Hawaii
Suffrage Bill Not
Likely Until 1918
Measure is on Senate Calendar
But War Questions Will
Take Precedence
BY c. S. ALBERT
Snacial Star Bulletin Correspondence

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 1o.-An
additional step forward has been taken
in the direction of giving the women
of Hawaii equal suffrage rights. This
may not mean much in the long run.
but it affords entertainment 10 those
who advocate abolition of distinction
between the sexes at the polls.
The bill giving the legislature pow,
ers to deal with the qualification of
electors has been favorably reported
to the senate. 1t was introduced by
Senator Shafroth on June l and re-
ferred to the committee on Pacific
islands and Porto Rico, Of which he
is chairman. 1t did not go to the
regular committee on woman suffrage
1t came back without amendment.
The measure, now on the senate
calendar in readiness for action, If
that point is reached, follows: THAT
the legislature of the Territory Of Ha
wall be, and it is hereby, vested with
the power to provide that, in all
elections authorized to be held by the
organic act of the Territory Of Ha-
vail, female citizens possessing the
same qualifications as male citizens
shall be entitled to vote.
Section 2. That the said legisla-
ture is further hereby vested with the
power to have submitted to the voters
of the Territory of Hawaii the ques-
ton of whether or not the female Citi-
zens of the Territory shall be empOw-
cred to vote at elections held under
the laws of the Territory of Hawaii.
Section 3. That all provisions Of
the organic act Of the Territory Of
Hawaii restricting the right to vote to
male citizens which are in conflict
with the provisions hereof are hereby
repealed.
Section f. That this Act shall take
effect and be enforced from and after
its approval, and shall be held to APP
ply to both territorial and municipal
elections"
1t is not expected any steps will be
taken toward passing this bill during
the present session Of congress. Lcgis
lation relating to matters connected
with the great war promise to consume
all the time. What will be done at
the short session, which begins De
cember 3. cannot be predicted 1t Is
doubtful whether an opportunity can
be found then for consideration of tie
suffrage problem in any form.

en-, however, invariably have enor-
nous legs. Thin people need not
have scrawny ones, however.
First exercise for developing the
leg is walking. Next is dancing,
and sometimes I think dancing the
more important, because the ten
sion of muscles made when the
body is supported on the toes is the
finest thing for building a rounded
calf and a slim ankle.
One cannot dance all the time,
but one can take this little exer-
else frequently every day. Stand
in stocking feet on the toes, and
walk all around your room several
times. Then run around it. Try
it morning and evening, and watch
the results.
If the legs are fat, this will strip
flesh from them. If they are thin.
it will develop muscles. If thin,
rubbing them with cocoa butter

good-either will make the texture

METAL BILLINGS IN TEETH.

rbe3 Use of Different Materials Does ! ss Not Cause EIectrOlysis.
 Among dentists there is a difference of opinion as to whether the filling of wO cavities iH one tooth with different rnetals-o one with mercury amalgam, one with gold, for instance-will cause rapid decay of the tooth through cleo trOlytic action between the two metals.
 The matter was submitted to the edi- tor of the Electrical Review, who re- plies that if the amalgam is thorough ly mixed there is no danger of cleo trolysis, but that if the mercury be not properly incorporated in the mass chemical action is quite likely to fol- low. He says that he and a dentist experimented with voltaic piles made of gold and amalgam, with blotters wet with sodium chloride and later with acetfc acid, and when the anal gam had been properly mixed they were unable to measure any electro lytic. action. ...
 When decay does follow in such cases, he says, it is due not to electro lytic but to chemical action. This causes disintegration of the filling, and, of course, as soon as this has begun the acids of the mouth and the juices of the food can penetrate to the unpro- tected surface of the cavity and start further decay. And this takes place irrespective of whether or not gold has been used near by.

When It Comes Out of the East It ..... BearS an Evil RoputO.
 No one has a good word for the east wind. In whatever part of the world it blows 1t is of i'll repute, and this evil name began in old times.
 At least one of the plaques of Egypt came on the wings of the east wind "The Lord brought an east wind upon the land @" |" and when 1t was morning the east wind brought the To- custs.' "Thou, Lord, breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind,' cries the psalmist. "I will scatter them as with an east wind before the en- emy" was the word concerning Judah that came to Jeremiah from the Lord. "Thus saith the Lord God" of Jerusa- lem, according to Ezekiel: Shall 1t not utterly wither when the east wind tOucheth it?" And the east wind dried up her fruit" says the same au- thority, speaking again of Jerusalem.
 Thus the stigma has come down the centuries. Wind of the clinging mists and gray, harsh rains," a modern poet calls it.
 Good old Izaak Walton knew its malefic influence when he wished, for the honest angler, that the east wind might never blow when he went fish ing.-Indianapolis News.
