S ury McAdoo has made

With the approval of the
President. l have called a con-
ference of the life insurance
companies of the United States,
Ito be held at the office of the
Secretary of the Treasury in
Washington on Monday after
noon. July 2, at 2:30 o'clock,
for the purpose of discussing
plans for insuring the lives OF
the officers, soldiers and sailors
of the United States during the
present war.
The War-Risk Insurance Blu
reau of the Treasury Depart
ment is now insuring the lives
OF masters, officers, and sea-
men of the merchant marine of
the United States, and the
Question has arisen as to how
insurance on the lives of the Of
ficers and enlisted men of the
Army and Navy can be effect
ed most advantageously,
through an extension of the
powers of the War-Risk Insur-
ance Bureau or through the
combined agency or coopera-
ton of the life insurance COM
panies of the United States. 1t
is expected that the discussion
at the Forthcoming conference
will prove of great value in de-
termining the wisest policy to
be adopted.
This is a great problem, and
it appeals Immediately and in
stinctively to the highest
and purpose of the
country. Certainly everything
possible should be done to give
protection to those who are de-
pendent uDon the men who
give their lives for their coun-
try. and to ameliorate the ri
gors and horrors of war. No
organized effort has ever been

In a town like Pendleton

If the delegations from the other islands came
down to the convention one thousand strong. Homo

more.
That is the only complaint this city has t" register
against the delegations arriving this morning from
the other islands We would have been glad to see
just few more. The size and representative char
acter of the delegations make certain the success of
the convention in its special sphere Of securing a
friendly and serious exchange Of opinions the

to all Hawaii.
Honolulu businessmen extend cordial welcome
to the visitors. and during the next few days will
demonstrate that this city is provincial in any

growth and business development of each and every
city and town depends on the steady development
and growth of all the cities and towns with which
it does business One succeed if it gains at

MEATLESS DAYS
MAY SHORTLY be
NECESSITY HERE
-,
Inauguration Expected if Mea'
Supply Becomes Smaller,
Than Demand !

To learn if the meat supply of the
islands is equal to the demand, AS
sistant Executive Officer J. =. Child
of the territorial food commits sion
will begin early next week to tabu'
late the figures obtained on the beef
census.
The matter was brought up AT a
meeting of the commission yeste1 day
afternoon by Chairman James D.
Dole, who suggested that 1t may be
necessary to inaugurate a number of
"meatless days" in each week if 1t
was found that the islands meat ssp-
ply was smaller than the consuhp-
ton. Mr.. Child answered that b e
had obtained mass of reports and
figures on the islands supply but had
not yet had time to tabulate them.
Figures on the consumption of meat
in the islands are now being gathereil
and it is probable that at the ne 1t
meeting of the commission a report
on the available supply and the
amount consumed will be submitted
to the board. Chairman Dole, in ASH
ing about the meat supply, remarked
that the commission should also in
quire into wheat and rice supply
and consumption.
In discussing the, present shortage
of oil, Mr.. Child declared that a.
great many former consumers of oig
were commencing to use wood and
as a result a great many algaroba,
trees which furnish kiawe beans fort
cattle food were being cut down. He

Regatta Day Progress.

Every time wall goes up that the boys OF the
present generation forgetting the water sports
that made the old days famous, a Regatta Day
comes around with program of exciting and inter
esting events that prove have not only kept pace
with former wears but forged steadily ahead.
Rowing has always been the great sport for
Honolulu The old DAYS had touch of romance
that conferred around the kings boathouse and the
celebrations peculiar to that day. But with the
change of the times there has been steady advance
in the number of young men and women engaged
in the healthy sport and it is fair to believe that in
future years when the Youngsters of today are
standing the side lines they will think and prob
ably say that this is not like the good old days of
1917. 1t is one of the habits of mankind to live
somewhat i'm the past But each year finds an in
creasing number of people participating either as
members of the clubs partizans Of the contendng
forces.

tonS of the times and promises great things for the
future The local clubs have had their ups and
downs due to varying interest of the members Now
that an outsider has into the list with win

MRS. BURNHAM DIRECTS
Y. w. DRAMATIC CLASS

The Young Women's Christian AS
ISOLATION announces that it has Sc
cured the services OF Mrs. Roger Burn
ham to conduct a class in dramatics,
beginning Monday night, October IA.
This is an unusual opportunity to
study the drama under a thoroughly
competent and experienced director.
The first term of 10 weeks will be
careful study of the principles prep
aratory to the actual production of
plays. The second term will include
the study and presentation of plays.
It is felt that this will prove to be
one of the most attractive courses
offered by the Young Women's Chris
tian Association this fall. Many will
wish to take advantage of this op-
portunity to perfect themselves in the
clear and natural expression of the
English language. as we'll as in the
use of the interpretatiye gesture. Not
the least attraction of the course will
be the opportunity offered for partic.
fpation in the plays which will be
given by the class under the man.

asked the commission if it would not
be advisable to investigate this mat
ter and the members left 1t to him
to look up and report.
The possibility of shipping bananas
in the steerage quarters of ships
bound for the mainland was also dis.
cussed but no action taken. Various
members will inquire into the subject
and report at a later meeting.
The commission as whole agreed
that the time had come in the islands
when every man who possibly can
should raise his own vegetables sc
that Hawaii can be self-supporting
as far as food is concerned. Richard
Ivers said that he had been around
the islands recently and that many
of the plantation laborers had their
own gardens "Of course everybody
cannot keep a garden" he added, but
this sort of thing should be en-
couraged."
The matter of some of the clubs
cafes and city restaurants supplying
too large portion ftoast at break,
fast, half of which is not consumed
but thrown away, was taken up and
discussed. 1t was deemed advisable
to notify restaurant proprietors and
club stewards to be more careful in
this respect in. the future.

Business Birthdays.

The size and character of two of the younger bust
ness houses that enjoying birthday celebrations
this week deserve special attention.
Most everyone in business here today remembers
when these two companies started. Perhaps some
wondered why they started because with every adj
vance step someone arises to say that the town is
not large enough to support any more concerns in
any line.
But these men went ahead. They have grown
and propered and so have the other leaders in their
lines.
1t all goes to show that the town is growing and
that business when conducted along the right lines
develops more business. $3.50.
The Star Bulletin congratulates the birthday
celebraters as ID congratuates every businessman
in this city and territory who demonstrates his con-
fdence in the future of Hawaii. Men of this type
are builders. They are the workers who make the
town and the country better place to live in Their
ideals are service and their ambition is to succeed
through the excellence of their service. .
