NEEDLE WORK GUILD
DONATES 2700 GARMENTS

If you are able to donate two gar
ments a year to the association, you
are qualified to become a member Of
the Needlework Guild, and not only
qualified, but requested to join. The
Honolulu organization, which is a
branch of the National Needlework
Guild, contributed 200 garments,
nearly all of them new, during the
campaign which ended two weeks ago.
The largest donations from this col
lection went to aid the school children
of st, Andrews guild, to the Associat
ed Charities and to the Salvation
Army, but every organization in the
city that looks after the welfare of
children in any way came in for a
share of the contributions.

ries two-fold purpose, 1t gives Ha-
wall a resident representative OF the
national body. and makes the terri
torial food commission, according to
Mr.. Child, the legal agent OF the ma
tional food administration
This action by President Wilson,
says Mr.. Child. means that the terri
torial food commission will be in a
position to work more in harmony
with Mr.. Hoover and the national
food administration, and II means
that the commission will receive more
instructions and advice from Wash
ington as to what the administration
wants done in all matters.
Since its creation the local commits
sion has worked largely upon its own
esponsfbility. but it now comes in
direct contact with the national adj
ministration as its legal agent here.
Whether the national administra-
ton will outline any new duties for
the territorial commission, MIR. Child
does not know. He says, however, that
all endorsements OF recently passed
legislation relating to food production,
distribution and conservation will be
handled by the regular machinery Of
the government. For example, he
adds, the enforcement of the law re-
quiring distributors of food to secure
licenses probably will be handled IN
Hawaii by the collector OF internal
revenue
Mr.. Child will continue his duties as
assistant executive officer of the food
commission.

MORE FUNDS NEEDED

Marshal J. J. Smiddy announced to-
Gay that, as a result of the many ar
rests which have been made Of per-
sons selling liquor to soldiers, there
are now more federal prisoners in Ca

history of the United States court in

Oahu prison is now so crowded that
inmates are sleeping in the corridors
at night, there being insufficient cells

the breeze rose in the forest; little
wind came fragrantly, puff on puff,
along the road, stirring the silvery dust.
She laid one slim hand in Lansing's;
steadily and noiselessly they traversed
the dew-wet meadow, crossed the river
by the second bridge, and so came to the
dark clubhouse under the trees.
There was nobody visible except the
steward when they entered the hall.
"Two rooms and a bath, John, +"
said Lansing, quietly; and followed the
steward up the stairs, guiding his blind
charge.
The rooms were on the north angle;
Lansing and Coursay inspected them
carefully, gave the steward proper d.
rection, and dismissed him.
"Get me telegram blank" said Lam
sing. Coursay brought one: His cou-
sin penciled a despatch, and the young
man took it and left the room.

intent, following Lansing with her

chair, smiling at him with blind eyes;
he scarcely found his way downstairs
for all his eyesight. He stumbled to
the grill-room door, felt for the knob,
and flung it open.
A flood of yellow light struck him
ike blow; through the smoke he saw
the wIne-huShed faces OF Colonel HyS-

last comprehended that the girl and
the papers had really disappeared, he
turned like a maddened pig on Mum,
tore the signed checks to shreds before
his eyes, and cursed him steadily as
long as he remained within hearing.
As for Mum, his game appeared to
be up. He hurried to New York, and
spent a month or two attempting to
find some trace of his ward, then his
money gave out. He returned to his
community and wrote a cringing letter
to Sprowl, begging him to buy the
OHara land for next to nothing, and
risk the legality of the transfer. To
which Sprowl paid no attention. A
week later Mum and the Shining Band
left for Munnville, Maine.
1t was vaguely understood at the
club that Lansing had a patient in
and 6.
Probably a rich woman whom he
can't afford to lose" suggested Sprowl,
with sneer; "but I'm cursed if l can
see why he should turn this club into a
drugshop to make money in" And the
Colonel and the Major agreed that it
was indecent IN the extreme.
To his face of course, Sprowl, the
Colonel, and the Maio treated Lansing
with perfect respect; but the faint odor
of antiseptics from rooms 5 and 6 made
them madden and madden every time
they noticed II.
Meanwhile young Coursay had
free bride; Lansing was never around
to interfere, and he drove and rode and
fished and stTolled with Agatha Sprowl
until neither he nor the shameless
beauty knew whether they were stand
ing on their heads or their heels. To be
in love was a new sensation to Agatha
Sprowl; to believe himself in love was
nothing new to Coursay, but the flavor
never palled.
What they might have done-what,
perhaps, they had already decided to do
nobody but they knew. The chances
are that they would have bolted if they
had not run smack into that rigid SEN
tinel who guards the pathway of life.
The sentinel is called Fate. And 1t
came about in the following manner:
DR.. Courtney Thayer arrived one
cool day early in October; Lansing met
him with quiet smile, and, together,
these eminent gentlemen entered rooms
and 6.
A few moments later Courtney Thay-
er came out, laughing, followed by Lam
sing, who also appeared to be prey to
mirth.
"Where the deuce do these Yankee
convent people get that elusive Con-
tinental flavor? Her father must have
been a gentleman"
'He was an Irish lumberman," said

BECOMING COUTURE.

There are dozens-hundreds-of
pretty girls turning themselves into
plain, unattractive females, appear
ing at least ten years older than their
proper age, simply because they are
wearing their hair in the most hideous
fashion ever evolved by the morbid
Imagination of a crazy hairdresser.
Some beauties manage to still look
fascinating with their pretty hair oiled
and dampened until it resembles
coat of black paint rather than hair,
but then they are beautiful. and true
beauty can scarcely be utterly dis
guised.
To the ordinary pretty girl this
trained back from the temples and up
from the base Of the meek style speels
utter disaster.
If her features are large, they look
larger; if small, their insignificance
immediately becomes painfully appar-
ent. and every trlfing defect OF con-
tour or complexion is startling evil
dent.
Do be wise, for no amount of smart

THE WAR REVENUE BILL.

It was anticipated when the war
revenue bill was presented to the house
that there would be many of its pro-
visions which would arouse opposi-
ton, that there would be many in
equalities discovered and that there
would have to be a number of changes
made before the measure became law.
Now that the bill has come before
the senate claims are being made thai
the tax is too heavy in several re-
spects. There is objection to the
doubling of certain taxes. Opposition
is raised against the higher tax on
alcoholic liquors and also to the tax
on soft drinks. There is an especially
hard fight being made against that
portion of the revenue bill which
deals with the excess profits tax. Ma
turally there are those who feel that
the income tax has been placed at an
unjust figure, while the proposed
jump in the postal rates is wrong and
ought not to be made, There are even
those who feet that such plan of
taxation ought not to be resorted to
a all at this time and that the neces-
sary funds for carrying on the war
should be raised through loans.
The debate on this measure ought
not to be prolonged indefinitely. There
should be and there will be a full OPP
heard upon it to free their minds and
to set forth their ideas. 1t must. how
ever be realized that the people at
the present time must bear their
share of the burden 1t cannot all be
shifted over onto the shoulders of
coming generations together with the
large amount which will be required
for meeting the interest charges. What
ever improper provisions have been
placed in the measure so as to put the
burden where it will not be borne with
equality or where it will fall heav-
lily upon those who can least
afford it they should be modified or
eliminated. but it must be understood
that war is expensive and it is time
for all to realize that they must do
their part We are in the war and we
have got to pay the price whether we
like it or not
