UNCALLED-FOR SECOND
CLASS MAIL WILL GO
TO HONOLULU FORTS

Postmaster D. II. MacAdam has re-
ceived permission from the postal de-
partment in Washington to continue
to distribute uncalled for second-class
mail matter among the military posts
and hospitals of this island. This sub
ject was taken up with the department
authorities some weeks ago when Or
ders were received to send all such
uncalled mail to the states, for sub
seQuent transmission to the American
expeditionary forces.
In the past such mail has always
been bundled up and sent out to the
hospitals and posts for the
benefit Of soldiers stationed here. The
Honolulu postmaster informed the de-
partment of this practise, and advised
that although we are long way from
the battlefront We have many Sam
mics here to whom the uncalled sec
ond class mail matter is of much ad-
vantage and enjoyment"
The department agreed with his rec.
ommendation and the former order
has been rescinded, so far as affects
Honolulu, and all such mail will con
tinue to go to the Oahu posts and
hospitals to relieve the monotony of
the enlisted men who are serving their
country in Hawaii.

RED CROSS WOOL
ONITS WAY HERE

Mrs. Henry F. Damon Of the local
Red Cross workers announces that
a large consignment of Red Cross
wool, known as standard gray and
khaki, is expected in few days. This
is a part of a million-pound pur-
chase made by the government earl
Ter this year.
The yarn is to be used for the
making of sox, mufflers, wristlets and
sleeveless sweaters" said Mrs. Da-
mon.
I'VE hope that just as many ladies
as can will help with this knitting for
there is sure to be great call for
these garments among the sol4tsrs
during January, February and Mani.
I'VE realize that knitting of this
sort calls for a certain sacrifice. for
they are not things that can be made
in half-hour, but we believe the wo-
men of Honolulu and the other islands
will be glad to sacrifice of their time
and labor for this work. The men
in the trenches must be kept warm"
Mrs. Damon says that it is an easy
matter to learn sox knitting and that
classes will be formed to teach the
standard pattern that must be fol.
lowed.

Not a Single Consumer, How
ever, Kicks on Rules to Re-
strict Bulk Sales

Declaring that the proposed regula'
tons, presented 10 the public yester.
day afternoon by the liquor license
commissioners are unfair, both to the
dealer and the consumer, a represen-
tation of the Wholesale liquor deal
ers association registered a strong
protest against the adoption and sub
mitted a plan OF their own. Attor-
neys for the wholesalers and for a
large number Of Japanese and CHI
nese dealers were there, and each pro-
test presented was aimed TO save the
rights and privileges OF the indiVid-
ual consumer. The ordinary citizen,
however, was there not to register
protest but to uphold the commits
sioners in their efforts TO suppress
the Illicit selling of booze. All pro-
tests registered came from persons
directly interested in the liquor bust
ness.
The board OF commissioners lis.
tened to all suggestions and COM
ments on the proposed regulations,
and took the matter under advise
ment. They then went into executive
session and decided that no definite
action on the matter will be taken
until next Thursday.
1t was planned that this new regn
Iation might be put in force on Oc-
tober 1; but owing to the illness OF
Inspector w. H. Hutton, who is suf-
fering from typhoid fever, the plan
cannot be put into action until Octo-
Der Is.
The meeting opened with reading
of the regulations by Chairman Rich
ard A. Cooke.
D. II. Lewis Of Lovejoy & Co. read
the protest Of the wholesalers, as
follows:
Moved that the wholesalers unani.
mously protest against the adoption
Of the proposed regulation as unfair,
and that if the board insists On some
change in the regulations, the follow
ing while still unfair, would accom-
plish the results desired by the board,
with less unfairness to the dealers
and purchaser:
LET a regulation be adopted,
should the board insist on some
change, requiring all dealers to make
daily report to the inspector of all
sales made to purchasers, other than
licensees, or shipments outside of
either Honolulu, or Oahu, as the board
may WISH"
Asked by Mr.. Cooke for specific rea.
sons why the rules Of the commission
were unfair, Mr.. Lewis replied that
a large number OF consumers who
were in the habit of calling for small
quantities of liquor, and others who
telephoned in orders, would be cut
off from buying.
No, indeed" replied Mr.. Cooke. at
is true that the regulations might
slightly inconvenience and delay ,he
person who is calling at the store with
a jug to be filled, but he will have to
put up with that inconvenience. The
person who frequently phones orders
can sign a number of acquisitions in
advance"
MANY of the customers come to
the stores in automobiles, and want
immediate delivery" protested Mr..
Lewis. The life Of dealer depends
on his license and none of us would
knowingly sell to blind pigs"
IF person has an automobile, il
will not inconvenience him to call on

BARRIERS USING BAY
RUM CONTAINING WOOD
ALCOHOL UNDER FIRE

Food Inspector A. w. Hansen of the
territorial board of health is begin
ming campaign against barber shops
that may be using bay rum contain
ing denatured or wood alcohol. This
is in line with the general investiga'
ton being carried out by his office
on bay rum as a result of the recent
death of 9 soldier who drank some of
the liquid.
By no means were all of the local
drug stores selling bay rum made
from wood alocohl, it is said, and like
wise not all the barber shops are US
ing the cheaper fluid, but some that
have been found doing so have been
warned to get rid of it Immediately.
There is one bottle on exhibition at
the food inspectors office, labeled bay
rum and giving the name of a local
barber shop. The liquid smells much
more like a furniture varnish than a
face lotion, however. Analysis of the
two kinds of alcohol is said to be CON-
paratively simple to determine which
is which.
AS the health officials have stated,
wood alcohol is a deadly poison and
its use in bay rum has been known
to lead to blindness and severe nausea
as we'll as death.

CHARM
BY DOROTHY DIX
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman
Writer
YOrNG girls asks:

n YOUNG girls asks:
~ How can ] acquire charm anc
~ become an interesting converse
tionalist?"
. Alas, my child, you are propounding
q riddle that no one has ever yet
been wise enough TO answer. Nc
one knows just exactly in what
charm consists, or what are the
strange. mysterious and magnetic
qualities that draw all hearts to some
one particular individual. and that
makes every eye brighten and every
heart leap with joy at his or her com
ing.
Some people are born with this
great gift They are the darlings OF
the gods, and the earth is theirs, and
the fullness thereof. Love and
friendship, place and preferment, in
vitations and treats, all the things
that less fortunate people toll and
MOL for, are thrown as a tribute at
their feet, for charm is a more potent
spell to conjure with than either beau
ty or brains.
But let not the girl to whom nature
has been a cruel stepmother, who
has withheld this magical endowment
from her, mourn as one without hope.
For while to be a headliner among
charmers one must have undoubtedly
been born a charmer, still it is pos
sible for any girl who has intelligence
and determination to understudy the
charmer and give such a lifelike imi-
tation Of her that few will ever know
that her fascination is handmade in
stead of being the spontaneous thing.
So far as charm can be defined, 1t
consists in making other people feel
good, putting them into a pleasant
glow Of satisfaction with themselves
and the universe. To do this, it is
necessary to make Of oneself, IL one
would please, q neutral background
which brings out the high lights Of
the projections Of other people. q
No conceited person, no bumptious

! through the mazes of other people
personalities and If the average young
woman would put as much time and
thought on learning 10 90 that as she
does in learning the newest steps IN
the fox trot, she would not have to
sigh for the arts OF the charmer. She
would possess the most potent art OF
all, the art Of being an agreeable com.
panion.
AS for my correspondent second
question-how can she become an in
teresting Conversationalist-th
easy to answer. By becoming an in
terested listener.
1t is a hard saying, but a true one,
that in all the length and breadth OF
our acquaintance there are not three
people who want to hear what we
have to say, or have the faintest real
heart interest in hearing Of anything
that has happened TO us, except in so
far as it affects them. We may have
seen the most wonderful thing in the
world 1t pales into !rsignificance be-
fore some trivial sight they saw yes
terday. We may have been to the
ends Of the earth The thing that
thrills them to hear about is the last
weekend trip they took.
Therefore, if you want to become
a perfectly fascinating talker. with
marvellous flow OF language, ask Mrs.
Smith to tell you about her difficulty
with ner cook, and where she got the
gown she has on. Entreat Mr.. Per-
kins to relate to you the details, OF
his deal in corn. Inquire OF Blinkfns
what speed he makes in his automo-
bile, and how he won the cup in the
golf tournan ent at the SQueedunk
club.
And never retaliate by talking OF
your own affairs, but learn to listen
as if you hung on to every word. for
of all the people the one that We Crap
pie to our soul with hooks Of steel
is the listener who begs US to go on
with our story, and who, after an in
terruption, can supply the thread of
the narrative we were relating.
Follow these rules for becoming
charmer, and you cannot fail to win
out in the popularity contest.
