SILKS FOR SPRING
Fabric in High Favor for Various
Garments.
Material Used for Hats Arriving From
Paris and for Headgear Created
In America.

While the new styles are undeni-
ably attractive, notes New York
fashion correspondent, the big ques-
ton that must be satisfactorily set
tied before much buying can be safely
done, whether ii be of ready-made
things or of materials for custom or
home preparation, is what will the
favorite fabric be-"
The answer seems TO be-silk.
Fashion has decreed linen years,
madras years, other silk years. cotton
years and, during the war. a gingham
year. Now silk Is TO return 10 place
that ii once held and never entirely
lost, in the hearts Of women.
Garments are made up almost en-
tirely' in silk from brassieres to eve
ming frocks while the spring hats ar
irving from Paris and those created
here are trimmed with silk used in
novel ways. 1t seems probable, too.
that silk shoes will be used this year
for street wear as we'll as a part of
the evening costume. In hosiery the
more expensive lines will be plain and
of the heavier grades of silk without
fanciful designs.
The designer for one of the famous
modistes declares that there is Il
strong psychological angle to the ap-
peal of silk to women. She has dis
covered that from children of twelve
or fourteen up TO dowagers all prefer
silk for the same reason, differently
expressed. She found it difficult TO
put this universal reason into a
phrase, and it is even more difficult
to record it as second hand, as 1t were.
The children frankly said that it made

through the winter In better condition
than they looked three or four months
ago. Grass was plentiful on the prai-
Ties. the stubble was rich and valu-
able as food. and she straw stacks
and groves proved ample for shelter"
Spring Is now fully upon the West
ern Canada farmer, his machinery Is
all I'm shape for a springs work. and
he Is looking forward TO an excellent
crop year. Last fall there was
splendid lot Of moisture that pernie-
ated the ground sufficiently TO leave
a perfect seed bed. Indications are
now that the crop will go In In the
condition Required for successful ger
mlnation. Then. with the heightened
days of May and June. the many
hours Of sunshine that they bring. ac-
companied by showers Of rain. and
with q soil Of which there is none
richer nor more generous. there will
be seen preparing for ripening har-
acres of wheat, oats, barley. rye, al
falfa and corn that Will make the
hearts of the Western Canada farmers
swell with pride as they reasonably
look forward TO an abundant harvest.
There Is great deal that can be
said in favor of the climate of West
ern Canada. The most important Is
that those who live there, and have
lived in other countries, prefer il TO
any they have experienced elsewhere.
/. II is true the winters as a rule are
colder than are those in countries
lying much farther south, but ii is
also true that they are tempered by
a dryness of the atmosphere that
makes a lower temperature preferable
TO that several degrees higher where
greater humidity prevails. Enerva-
ton and listlessness are unknown
the air is bracing, but the cold is not
penetrating. Then the summers and
the autumns-they could not be more

Much Larger Steamer
For Inter-ISland Go.

Plans of the Inter-Island Steam
Navigation Company contemplate the
building of a steamer so percent larg-
er in size and in cargo capacity than
the Mauna Kea and with speed suffi-
Gent to make three round trips a
week between Honolulu and Hilo. 1t
is estimated that such a vessel IA
be built for $1,000, 900 at this time
though six months ago it would have
cost a million and a half. j. A. Ken
nedy, president and general manager
will, it is reported, leave for the coast
soon and while there call for bids.
1t is said that the proposed new
steamer may be something of the type
of the old Alameda of the Oceanic
Steamship company, formerly on the
run between San Francisco and Homo
lulu.
1t is intended to have such steamer
in commission in about a year.

Kauai Plan Modelled
On Maui Government

Modelled after the Maui system of
county government is the type pro
vided for Kauai under II. B. 10 now
pending in the Legislature. The bill
provides for four supervisors elected
at large and for a chairman of the
board also elected at large. The duties
and powers of the chairman are set
forth in the same language as the act
that gives this county its present form
of government.
One lesson has been learned, it is
shown in the bill, and hat is the pro
vision for filling vacancies so that ka-
uai need not have to face such a situa-
ton as Maui met until the special
session of the legislature. The new
bill provides that any vacancy in any
county office shall be filed by appoint
ment by the chairman, with the ap-
proval of the board, unless such vacan
cy is in the office of chairman and
executive officer, and, in such case,
such vacancy shall be filled by ap-
pointment by the board of supervis-
ors for the remainder of the unex-
pired term of such office.
IF a chairman and executive Off
Ger be so appointed by the board of
supervisors from their own number,
the vacancy in the board so caused
shall be filled by appointment by such
new chairman and executive officer,
with the approval of the board"

GIRL SCOUTS

inginS Miss OTIS expenses, that her

day afternoon.
Miss OFT is Denmark's youngest au.
thor and leading girl scout, who is
making a tour of the world in the in
terpst of scouting for girls. This is
what she says of scouting in Den
mark:
1t is very difficult to start IA new
movement in Denmark because all
Danes and especially people from Co
pCnhagen have a marked sense of
comedy and find the ridiculous in
everything and everybody. Our uni
forms, our laws, u drills, be-
hdViur, were so different from what
people had seen before that they
were all quite dying of laughter when
We walked through the streets. Be
sides all that, the newspapers agreed
that the Danish climate, the Danish
country side, and a great many other
conditions in Denmark were quite un-
lit for scouting, SO that in 1911 when
the first Danish girl scouts We're or
ganized, no n but scouts themselves
took scouting in sober earnest. The
comic papers titled their pictures of
the girl scouts: The New Mode and
