successfully with bills and servants,
and be jolly companion, and that
the conversation of a neurotic wife
is one long wall of complaint.
Of course, if inValidism comes after
marriage, either wife or husband is
a miserable gutter and bastard not
to do his or her full duty towards
loving and cherishing and nursing the
afflicted one, but between having m
yalids thrust upon You and deliber.
ately espousing it is the difference
between the brave and the foolhardy.
A lot of nonsense is talked abent
the science of ergenics, and impos.
sible claims made for it, but if out OF
all. the discussion it impresses upon
neople the fact that marriage is only
for the healthy, it will have added
UNNECESSARILY to the happiness of the

Do You Smoke,

If ToU powell, aside from the ques-
full that smoking does not ruin your
health. II you don't-well, 1t is a
good habit not to acquire.
= Morals as well as convention, is
much question OF geography. 1t is
nothing out of the way to see women
smoking in New York. Even in the
finest restaurants, Sherry's on Fifth
Avenue, for instance, the women sit
at tea by the open windows, the
smoke from their cigarettes, in price
less ivory and jeweled holders, float
ing out across the pavements. In
many places it is the exception to
find woman who doesn't smoke.
In the south and the west, woman
who smokes is socially ostracized;
her reputation goes at the first pun
OF her cigarette. Yet some Of the
finest women know smoke, many OF
them are mothers of devoted fami-
lies, all are hard workers, highly In
telligent, thoroughly charming.
Yet ] advise women against It. 1t
is q needless habit, so why acquire
it? A woman does look charming
with the tiny white stick in her fin
gers, the smoke curling daintily from
it's tip-but she will look equally
charming in hundreds of other poses.
If she inhales, the smoke will dry her
lungs, faint the blood, tend to make
the skin gray and drawn. 1t will
stain her fingers bright yellow, the
odor of the smoke will cling to her
clothes, getting unpleasant as 1t gets
staler.
Some men like to see women
smoke, most of them do not, how
ever, and whether or not their views
are just. we must observe even the.
conventions we criticize most severe
~. Be liberal-minded, and do not
condemn the woman who smokes
but don't do It yourself.

When the new Kohala Girls Semi
nary in Kohala, Hawaii, is completed
it will be one of 5the most thoroughly
modern and beautiful school buildings
in the islands. All equipment that
can help in the work of education and
in the comfort and safety of the girls
and their teachers will be made a part
OF this building, whose architect is H,
L. Kerr. The kitchen, for example,
which is 80 by 40 feet. has been
planned with an eye to providing
everything that kitchen can provide
to facilitate the teaching and practise
of domestic economy. The same plan
of efficiency has been carried out
with every part of the huge building.
Briefly summed up, the plans for
this school building, which is to be
three stories high, with wide lanais at
front and rear. and smaller lanais on
the side, call for chapel, two class

The news in the early part of the
week that three of the big Matson lin
ers would be. replaced by such boats
as the President and Governor, which
have limited cargo capacity, has Gre
ated a feeling of uneasiness on the
part of many Honolulans as to the
ability of the merchants to get enough
foodstuffs here to keep the people
supplied James A. Dunbar, treas
urer Of Henry May & Co., Ltd, in
connection with the subject said:
Il don't really believe we shall have
any real trouble about getting food to
the islands. The government knows
that we must have foodstuffs here,
and I believe, as does nearly every one
else I've spoken to about it, that

LET me illustrate said Mr.. Dunbar.
"A high class automobile, such as the
Packard or Pierce-Arrow, occupies,
when cased, $40 cubic feet of space,
which is conservative estimate. Into
$40 cubic feet of space could be packed
500 50-pound bags of four. Now, while
ali of us like our automobiles, we
have to admit that it would be easier
to live without an automobile than to
live without bread. Furthermore,
there is little doubt in. the mind of
anybody: that 1900 bags of flour would
serve more people than single au-
tomobile could. It's just another case
of the greatest good to the greatest
number. If it came to the point where
if one should be shipped the other
would have to remain behind for lack
of space / don't think there would be
any hesitancy on the part of the gov

CAMP FIRE GIRLS
WAR CHEST GROWS

The Camp Fire Girls started a few
months ago to raise among themselves
$4,000 as war chest TO carry on the
various forms Of war work which
have made the food administration and
several state and national govern
ment departments recognize them as d
factor in the country's organization
for war, and which caused President
Wilson to accept the honorary presi-
dency Of the Camp Fire Girls. Fifty
thousand dollars Is a lot of money for
even hundred thousand girls to raise
when they DO it all themselves, but the
war chest is growing weekly.
The Camp Fire Guardians associa-
ton of Worcester. Mass, recently gave
a pageant and dedicated its war chest
in way indicative Of how this worl,
is carried on. There are nearly 5000
Camp Fires throughout the United
States and nearly every one Of them
has promised to contribute its mite
The mite" in this instance amounted
to the substantial su moi $1,000. OF
which $25.00 is credited to the Boyls-
ton, Mass, Camp Fire Girls who gave
an entertainment and contributed the
receipts with true Camp Fire gener-
osity to their neighbours account.
The ways in which the money 70.
the war chest is raised show the size
Of the task and the true spirit Of sac
ritice of these patriotic girls. One girl
earned about dollar and a half By
performing certain tasks in her OWE
home. and gave it all Another saved
pennies. An imposing amount was
credited to unspent car fares. Some
girls gave all they could save of Their
weekly allowance, and it is still Z
question whence came a bag of ont
hundred and forty pennies that ap
peared with no name attached. Nearly
every nickel, dime and penny of the
/ conglomerate array meant real work
or real self-denial.
I The dedication of the war chest wa.
both beautiful and impressive red
white and blue candles were lighted
/ symbolic of bravery, purity and 10y
/ atty. AS each successive candle wa,
! lighted an appropriate verse was re
cited by the girls. One sample vii
suffice:
Burn. thou flame of bravery,
Shine, thou light of toll
Lest the fire of thoughtlessness
! Our life and land despoil.'

DON'T WASTE HOT

The small boy will hail with much
delight and glee the latest order of
that august and allwise body, the fuel
administration. Here it is;
Hot water should not be used un-
necessarily-ev gallon wasted is a
waste of so much fuel"
Now mother might not insist that
Willie be forced to take his Saturday
scrub each week, hence the just cause
for rejoicing.
This same fuel administration also
takes direct slap at the household
ers who attempt to heat all outdoors.
The ladies who reside in fats and
yelp all day down the tubes and dumb
walters for more, more and still
more heat and then the janitor fumes
and fires up until he perspires freely
only to find that said ladies', bless EN-
