why varnish Tres u Dreaded.
Varnish IS produced IN China from .
ree commonly spoken OF as the var
nish tree. but known botanically as
Rhus vernicifera, which Is found in
abundance In the mountains Of
Hupeh, Kweichew and Szechwan.
The varnish Is taken from the tree
utter it is about six inches In diane
ter by tapping at Intervals OF from
i've to W years. until the tree II
fifty or sixty years of age. A good
sized tree will yield from five to seven
pounds OF yarnish.
The natural color of the crude var
nish as applied is black. 1t is consid-
cred the most i~ndestructible varnish
known. One popularity is that 1t
hardens only in a moist atmosphere.
In China it is enormously known
among the foreign communities as
"Ningpo varnish," probably because
1t first came into contact with foreign
trade here.
Many persons are poisoned when
they come into wen atmospheric con-
tact with this varnish, which fact. un-
fortunately, reduces its trade posi-
bilities enormously. AS yet no method
has been discovered whereby this
poisonous quality a be cOunteracted.

Mr.. Editor

observe from your issue of this
date that you consider March 31st a holt
day and that in conse quence your paper
will not be issued that day. But what
about your monthly subscribers Do
they look upon the day as a legal holiday
and have tt ey no claim on receiving their
daily copies for which they pay?
| also notice from your paper that the
public offices will be closed on that day.
| believe that the Public would be very
much interested to learn by what autho-
rity the 31st of March has become a holi-
day. The existing laws do not so consi-
der it, and ] do not know how any day
may be declared a holiday and the public
offices be closed, except by an act of the
Legislature and according to American
Law by Proclamation by the President
of the United States or The Governor in
the individual State.
The Public is becoming impatient at
the unsettled conditions and must de-
mand that The Act of Congress declaring
the laws existing here in the Island on the
18th day of January 1917 in force until
altered by the proper authority, be res
pected by the Government as well as by
the Public.

Dear Sr,
Ever since February 18th. an
impossible Cemand has been thrust upon
the public III a very q ctatorial and auto
cratic style, under the caption of A
MAMMOTH PAGEANT.
The said MAMMOTH PAGEANT, as
announced by a self constituted ambas-
sacor, to he for the better caring of
babies, we c)nsideris Tor personal aggran-
disement and promotion only.
The way things are being run plainly
shows that he promoter considers him
self all 1t, forgetting that that pronoun
1T has an afix the extension of which
is understood.
Now we note that another autocrat
has come forward with his ad. stating
IN bold words Notice is hereby given
etc.. We are now left to wonder what
next? Is this ad. a proclamation from
higher authorities or only an humble ap-

We call the attention Of our readers to
the program for a Patriotic Concert to be
rendered by the Naive Brass Band on
Monday (31st.) night commencing at 8
o'clock. 1t is a long time since we had
the pleasure of hearing this Band, but
re are sure the appropriate selections
will be enjoyable and winding up by a
monster parade.
The Creole arrived this mornino
with St. Thomas and Porto Rico mails.
Elsewhere in these columns Lawyer
A. E. Stakemann calls attention to the
observance of March 31st. as a holiday,
being at variance with the existing Laws
which provide that holidays be made by
proclamation of the President or the
Governor of the State.
AS for ourselves. it is not because we
are eager to grasp the opportunity of
curtailing an issue Of our paper, but
more owing to the fact that it would be
placing our staff on a relatively less ia
vorable footing when compared with
other business concerns which close on
Transfer Day. So far as we can find,
certain days are legally observed as
holidays in all the States on the con-
tinent and in addition to those any
such other days as the President of
the United States or the Governors
of the respective States may set apart
as Fast or Thanksgiving days or that may
be specially designated as holidays by
proclamation of the governors or by the
statutes Of the States. If we are not mis-
taken it was customary at first to desig-
nate our holidays by proclamation.
The 31st March being the day on
which the historical change Of nation
atty occurred, it seems quite in order
to attach some special recognition to it.
This eve daresay is not the point the
Lawyer drives at.
