to B. H. Pipmeier. maintenance engi-
neer Of the Illinois highway depart

amount of earth road work to be done
and Of money to be spent for it. every
effort should be directed along lines
leading to the best results. II the
grades, cross section and drainage OF
earth roads are properly established
they will not need alteration when the
roadways are provided with more
durable wearing surface at later date.
Very few roads receive enough time
and money to be put in first class con-
dition. Most of the money is spent in
an endeavor to maintain earth roads
that are not In suitable condition for
maintenance. Many earth roads are
worse after improper working than
they were before 1t. for large part of
the best soil in them is exposed so that
the first heavy rain washes it away.
The main work to be done to obtain
efficient earth roads is to drain them
we'll and then to maintain them. There

posed by traffic. but when thoroughly
saturated with water it will not sup

essary to utilize all methods OF keeping
the earth road dry. This can best be
done by draining away the under

water from standing on the road.
All surface water is removed by CIV

Louise Glaum, in the character OF
Marie Chaumontel, in "Somewhere in
France" is q woman who exerts her
sensuous charms for the specific pur-
pose of stealing military secrets fol-
the Germans from the French. She
cares no more for the life of man
than she does for that of fly, but
her sacrifices are always made for
something more tangible than the
delight of vicious woman in play
ing upon masculine weakness.

- RAGRANT with the sweet breath
Of the wild ginger, gay with the
glowing color OF hundreds OF gor-
geous hibiscus flowers, the parish
house Of Central Union church was the
scene Of a notable and delightful af-
fair Thursday afternoon, when the
women's society was at home in hon.
or OF the many school teachers who
pbaye come this year to Hawaus
schools. More than 200 women as
sembled at this. the first social affair
of the early autumn, and many who
had been out OF town for the sum
mer, were back to greet their old
friends again and to make new ones.
Receiving with the president OF the
society, Mrs. Edwin Benner, was Miss
Payne, the new principal OF kawaia-
hao seminary, who has come here
from Long Beach where she has been
connected with the schools for the
past IL years. Miss Payne Is a wo-
man OF most charming personality and
her influence over the girls at the
seminary cannot fail to be inspiring
and helpful.
Mrs. Young, chairman Of the social
committee, and Miss Evelyn McDou-
gall, chairman of the committee for
the day, were also among those greet
ing and introducing the guests, other
members of the committee later serT-
ing refreshing fruit punch and cookies.
Miss McDougall had entire charge
OF the plans for the day and she eX-
expended much time and thought upon
the affair. From the mountain side
she brought many wild, growing
things-the exquisite blossoms OF the
ieie plant, with its beautiful pale sal
mon Coloring; clusters of their folt-
age; armsful OF cTeam-tinted ginger,
J branches OF coffee plant, curly.leaved
koa and branches of kukui. Used
against a background Of tropical
palms and ferns these fragrant wild
things we're most effective and in
terfsely interesting to the malihini
visitors whose first glimpse 1t was OF
most of the mountain growth. For
color, Miss McDougaIl depended upon
Hawairs queen flower-the hibiscus
its many shades, and tables were
placed about the room covered with
the vivid single blossoms, several hun
dred varieties being shown. Great
baskets trimming over with the color
full blossoms, jardiniers of long,
Stoned peach blow blooms, and
branches laden with wealth Of flow
ers, were massed about the corners
and sides of the room, while tall Pc
destals holding gracefully training
asparagus sprengeri added a cool,
green note that was pleasing.
The reception from three to four,
was followed by a unique program
when, through bits Of original verse,
Miss McDougal led her hearers down
winding trails, and up steep cliffs,
across tumbling brooks, beneath the
spray of many waterfalls, and gave
them refreshing glimpses of some Of
Hawaii's by-paths. The readings we're
interspersed by songs led by Mrs. G..
L. Hall, native daughter, whose
sweet voice always charms those who
listen. Mrs. Hall was assisted by a
group of young Hawaiian girls wear
ing the yellow lima lei, and effect
lively grouped against the background
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-09-22

of mountain growth. Later, at the
conclusion of the readings, a group of
Kawaiahao girls, with ukuleles and
guitars, played and sang some OF the
old favorites among the native songs.
Punch was then served from a
punch bowl wreathed with glowing hi
discus blooms, and the guests in
spected the various flowers and plants
which had combined to give such a
charming Hawaiian setting.
Great credit is due Miss McDougall
for the complete success of the affair.
Among the next social affairs given
by the women's society will be an
informal evening social in honor OF
the enlisted men and something uni
que and pleasant is promised.
