II is hard to decide which of two
1 things is most vitality interesting
to the female of the species, and they
are the clothing she wears and the
furnishing of her home. Except for
the care and thought she bestows on
her family, nothing engrOsses her as
these things do. 1t is an instinct with
women to want to be attractively
clothed and TO make their homes at
tracfive, and let as hope that these
things will remain uppermost in her
ambition
A great deal of attention is given
now to pillows for different parts Of
the house-those for the living room,

they help to make inviting and rest

ROAD
BUILDING
DIRT ROADS CARE IN SPRING
Proper Drainage is Chief Essential in
maintenance-Road Drag Is
Especially Useful.

The cardinal essential In spring
maintenance OF earth roads. especially
those on heavy soils. is good drainage
So long as the water can be kept
from penetrating deeply into these
roads they will remain at least fairly
passable. To accomplish this on aver
age earth roads, however, is far from
easy. During the early part OF this
season Of the year rains are often Of
long duration and tend to saturate the
soil. Water from melting SHOWS Is
perhaps even more penetrating than
long-continued rains. while alternate
freezing and thawing of the wet sur
face tends to Increase the pOrosity OF
the soil and permit even more ready
access of water Into the foundation.
The chief attention of the road man
must therefore be directed toward
getting and keeping the water away
from the road. So long as the founda-
ton can be kept dry, even a heavy
freeze followed by n rapid thaw will
do little or no real damage to the road
surface. A dry soil does not beave.
The foundation will therefore still be
solid, and the road will be able TO
sustain the traffic without serious rut-
ting. On the other hand saturated
soil expands greatly on freezing. and
when 1t thaws out has not only lost
practically all power OF sustaining the
weight of traffic. but also is in an ideal
condition for taking up or absorbing
still more water. and thus forming
still more mud.
During the early part of the season.
as long as the weather is very rainy
or there is melting snow on the ground
1t will pay to have the road man go
over the road daily to see that the
drains and side bitches do not become
clOgged and to note the need of any
necessary repairs. A few minutes
work with a shovel may prevent n Sc
rious washOut or damages. which. If
not promptly checked. might make the
road practically impossible.
The road drag or some other similar
device finds its greatest usefulness
during this season. It may be used
to good advantage TO clear the road

prevent this water from soaking into

JAPANNED HAWAII

Golfers Weekly-Of course every
one knows that Hawaii, one of the two
territories of the United States, is
thoroughly Japanned. More than
hundred thousand natives Of the
Asiatic empire live there. There are
two Japanese to five of all other ma
tionalities, four Japanese to every
Hawaiian, and a crowd of them for
every white. The streets of Honolulu
and every Hawaiian city and village
are like Japan in the style of the
houses, the signs and the dress of
the humans. So many Japanese are
American citizens by birth in Hawaii
that If they concentrated they might
control the vote of the territory. In
few years they will do this, almost
certainly. The sugar planters of
Hawaii are fearful of these conditions,
and lament the mistake of inducing
the cheap labor of Japan to emigrate
there in such overwhelming numbers.
But L remained for the recent
Hawaiian Missions Centennial in Hon
olulu to accentuate the religious
changes in this American outpost in
the Pacific. There are seventy-eight
Buddhist and Shinto temples in
Hawaii. The chief Buddhist church
of Honolulu is the most expensive re-
ligious edifice in Hawaii except -
mark the exception-the Mormon tenn
pie The Mormons have made as
many converts this twentieth century
as the oldest Christian missionary so
ciety, which landed its ministers in
Hawaii in 1920 and which has been
active ever since. The urge of the
planters for profits and the excessive
population of Japan have brought
about an anomalous condition in
religion and race which was not
dreamed of by those first missionaries
Of the Cross, nor, indeed, by their
grandchildren, who minted the labor
of Asia into gold and, though unwit-
tingly. gave over the islands to faiths
fought by their ancestors. And coupled
with the vexatious problems Of rising
wages and lowering individual pro-
duction, of so-called pagan religions

THE COAL SITUATION

| Chicago Tribune - Examination OF
the entire coal situation with its grow
ing menace to the industrial If not the
political life of the nation reveals
condition which seems to point to
| Washington as the only source oil
power which can correct It, The gov
ernment aided and abetted by numer-
Gus outside influences, has gotten us
into one of the worst difficulties pos
sibe with the exception of actual war.
1t appears to the iayman that the gov
ernmept must get us out.
The difficulty dates back at least
as far as the coal strike of last win
ter. Then the governments coal com
mission fixed a wage schedule whlch
sent the men back TO the mines. Op-
orators and miners signed an agree
ment to run for two years. Gut AT
the same time a federal injunction
was issued to prevent the operators
or miners or the operators and miners
from conspiring together in such
way as to abrogate the agreement ana
raise the price Of coal. Several were
indicted and still face prosecution
under that injunction. 1t has never
been dismissed.
In these circumstances the day men
of Illinois mines have found that car
shortage prevents them from working
more than two days a week, limiting
their earnings to $l2 a week and con-
fronting them and their families with
starvation. Internal union politics
have aggravated the situation. Crooked
operators and inequable car supply
probably have further complicated 1t.
In the meantime the commission
which granted the award is not sitting.
The Injunction granted by the federal
court prevents the operators from
raising wages, even though they ad-
NIT the justice of the miners claims.
The miners have no place to turn for
relief except to the federal court,
where they would have little stand
ing after having broken their con-
tracts. The strike is spreading. The
coal shortage is growing so rapidly as
to justify the gravest fears for the
outcome.
The federal tribunal has made its
awards and the federal court has de-
creed that no legal method is open
for their alteration. But the situation
must be remedied. 1t appears to be
up to Washington. If the attorney
general cannot relieve the deadlock
the president must. The situation is
as much a war emergency as that
under which he built its foundations.
1t is drifting rapidly toward chaos.
Unless it is halted it will soon go
over the brink
