work. One of the great. problems that confronts the street railway company is so to arrange its car ser vice as to accommodate the variation in traffic from hour to hour, and from day to, day.
 :. A regular run is a regular estab- lished days work, assigned to a reg 1 ular man. which he is expected to ! make day after day regularly. The schedule frequently varies on Satur- day and more often on Sunday. Of a total of 30,438 Monday to Friday reg iular runs on surface lines, 3 per cent. were runs of under 8 hours on duty, 5 per cent. of and under E hours II per cent of E and under g hours, 19 per cent. of and under 9 1s hours, 23 per cent. of zs and under 10 hours, 22 per cent. of 10 and under 101 # hours, g per cent. of 1ok and under II hours, per cent
 of II and under Il A hours, 2 per cent. of II K and under 12 hours, and 2 per cent. of 12 hours or over./ Because of the breaks (times off sduty} in the days work the time be- tween which the days work is begun and ended frequently far exceeds the hours on duty. In the same ;3O-433 regular Monday to Friday runs on surface lines, the outside time of 1 ifper cent. of the runs was 8 and un- der 7h hours; of 8. per cent F and
 under hours; of 6 per cent and
 under, 9h hours; of per cent. g E
 and under 10 hours; of per cent.
 of 10 and under 103s hours; Of 5 per cent. 10M and under Il hours; of 6 per cent. Il and under 11k hours;
 of per cent. Il 7a' and under 2 hours; of 10 per cent. 12 and under | 12A hours; of 10 per cent 121k and
 under 13 hours; of 10 per cent. 13
 and under 13h hours; of II per cent 1Sh and under IA hours; of 5 per. cent IA and under 141s hours; of per cent. 141s and under Is hours; and of z per cent. of the runs l 16 hours pr over. In per cent. of | all runs the outside time was IS hours and over.
 Street railway operation as an in- l dustry knows no rest day. The roads
 are in operation days week. In- divtdual employees do not all work
 every day. however, but are absent
 because of one cause or another. Oc- casionally a road makes provision for
 regular days off, but the general rule is that men are allowed time off duty
 on request. Out of a total of S1,166 regular motormen, including 43 horse car drivers, for whom information is
 available, 15,281, or 49 per cent
 worked ' days in the week. Of 9,294
 extra motormen. including 4 horse
 ear divers. 4,295, or 4e per cent.
 worked 2 days in the week.
 An important factor bearing on
 efficiency is the change in the labor
 force during the year, commoniy
 known as the turn over" The
 change in personnel varies materially in different companies. Of s6 com panies reporting the per, cent, of turn
 over of motormen, the turnover was
 under 10 per cent. in 8 companies
 10 and under 20 per cent. in 19 com panies, 20 and under 30 per cent 1T
 IS companies, 30 and under 40 pe1 cent. in 13 companies, 40 and under 50 per cent. in IA companies, 50 an6
 under 70 per cent. in Il companies 70 and under 100 per cent. m 6 com
 panies, and in 5 companies It was
 100 per cent. or over. The turnover
 for conductors was even greater; 1T 12 out of 96 companies it was, 10( per cent. or over.

4. Thorough knowledge of the ele- ments of field service. g.. Thorough knowledge of interior guard duty
 G.. Skill in range finding and in esti- mating distances so as to assist men in firing accurately.
 z. Proficiency in leading patrols. 8. Ability to sketch andF read maps. This list will suggest some of the lines along which you should work whenever you have the chance. Many of the non-commissioned officers in the National ArmN will be chosen, not only because of the Knowledge or skill they already possess, but also because they show capacity for further devel- opment and for leadership.
 Developing Soldierly Qualities This question of winning promo ton all comes back to the question o1 making yourself a thorough soldier of demonstrating that you possess loy- alty, disciplined obedience, physical fitness, intelligence, tenaeity, and self reliance-the nine qualities of. a sol
 dier.
 The National Army must fit itself for effective service at the front in the shortest possible time. To accom- plish this result it must produce out of its own ranks men who are fitted for promotion first to places as non- commissioned officers, either in the first contingent or more probably in later contingents.
 This need is your opportunity. Ii is an opportunity not merely for per- sona1 advancement-whic in time o1 | war is a small thing to work for-bui more than that, an opportunity to render to your country the most effec- tive service of which you are capable Strive to fit yourself for the duties and responsibilities of leadership Make yourself count to the utmost in the victorious defense of American rights and principles to which tn , National Army will devote itself

The three Socialists made a gTea:

standpoint that Chancellor Michaelis
misused the affair for political cap.

TRIPLE HANGING
SET FOR FRIDAY.

Three Fi7ipiRos - Antonio Garcia,
Florencio Bonella and Gabriel Verver
will pay for the crime Of murder On
the scaffold at Oahu prison next Fri

Governor Pinkham today signed the
death warrant setting that date for the
execution OF Bonella and Verver. while
the reprieye granted some days ago
for Garcia expires on the same day.
The hour set Is s o'clock.
1t is probable that Bonella and Yer
yer, convicted OF the murder OF Tsune-
taro Hayashibara, the Japanese store
keeper at Kareohe, will hang together
and that their execution will be first.
Garcia will probably come last.
Garcia shot and killed Japanese at
Honokaa Mill last May and wounded
W. w. Westcoatt mill engineer.
This will be the first triple hanging
in the territory for two years. The
other was when three Fflipinos who
had robbed and murdered a Japanese
family on Kauai we're executed in the
autumn of 1915.
Hermogomes Alcantara, who is al
so under sentence of death, will be
hanged on November l6 unless some
action between now and then stays
the execution, He has been given a
reprieve until that date in order that
an appeal might be taken to the SUI

thanks of the executive committee to
the coast defenders, for their splendid
work in helping Hawaii oversubscribe
her loan.
More than $4,000 was received from
the municipal employees, as a result
of the campaign carried on by Mayor
j. J. Fern and a committee OF super.
visors yesterday.
Paymaster George Dyer. at Pearl
Harbor, reports that the navy and civil,

000. In discussing the reasons why
the navy department is not handling
subscriptions from navy men in the
same way as the army, by the allot.
ment of pay method, the executive
committee issued the following bulle-
tin, received from Washington
The reason is that the allotments
OF pay by the enlisted men OF the navy
are subject to cancellation by the sail
ors at any time, while in the case of
soldiers allotments Of pay are irrevoc-
able. The Navy Department therefore
is not soliciting subscriptions from the
enlisted men on the allotment basis
and will not gather these subscriptions
and handle them in one place similar
to the army. Doubtless local banks
will agree to sell to navy men on the
monthly instalment plan. In such cases
we believe signed allotments of pay
should be obtained from these men, as
tits believed they will not be revoked
to any material extent"
Another bulletin issued by the com.
mittee calls attention to the fact that
postmasters are authorized to cash in
terest coupons on U. S. Government
bonds.
Shipments on Way
The local executive committee an
nounces that an initial supply of 800
denomination Second Loan per cent
permanent bonds has been received
by the Federal reserve bank in San
Francisco, and it is believed the bonds
will be received in Honolulu very
shortly. 1t is understood that ship
ments of other bonds up to $1,000 are
on their way from Washington.
1t is pointed out that the Second
Liberty Loan As now being sold are
entirely different from the Conversion
bonds, which are issued to persons de-
string to change their first loan, 319
per cent. to 4 per cent. The first issue,
31s per cent, and the convertible As,
have interest coupons dated June and
December Is. The second issue, 4 per
cent only, call for interest payable May
and December Is. If holders of the
first loan, at 31s per cent, desire to-
change their bonds to per cent, they
should notify the banks where they
bought the bonds, whether they wish
the first issue bonds to be sent to-
them from San Francisco, or whether
they wish them converted to per
cent bonds.
