Women of Honolulu Demand Lower
 Prices

HONOLULU, Dec. l9.-"The House wiycsu get you ef you don't witch out"
 This refrain, with variations, has become a watchword among the mer- chants oi Honolulu since the women ol this city have banded themselves together in militant organization known as the Housewives League.
 Organized for the purpose of com batting the II. C. L.. the league con stitutes each of its members a com mit,ce of one to report all instances of oyerchargng on the part of local merchants. Such reports are investi- ga1cd by officials of the league and if found to be true are taken up with tn" offending merchant Usually a tactiul suggestion that failure on his part to reduce his price or prices on those prevailing throughout the city might result in the members of the league withdrawing their trade from his establishment is sufficient to bring about very prompt reduc- tion in the offending charges.
 The militant housewives have also spread terror among the domestic servants. who have at times threat rncd to organize for the purpose of securing increased wages and de creased hours of labor Announce ment by the IeaSge that certain class of servants would be boycotted if their threates of organization were carried out was recently effective in averting a threatened servants strike. The league has most recently turned it's attention to the cleaning up of in sanitary food shops throughout the city. and so potent has the name of the organization become that the mere rumor of its intended action has resulted in d general cleanup being started among many of the estab- llshments under suspicion

"It was really too funny for words. co he continued. Ut seems that Lloyd George had heard from Washington that was not to be appointed an American delegate to the conference and that neither was Senator Borah. He had heard about who were to the American delegation, and he told Harvey he had reached the same conclusion that the White House had-that Knox was too pig headed and Borah was too much of q fanatic to suit either President Harding or Downing Street"

WASHINGTON, Dec 19.-OnIy a few hours before he was fatally stricken the late Senator Philander Chase Knox sat with the writer in front of a cheerful log fire in his comfy office at the Capitol.
 He appeared tired, although he de clared the visit he just paid to Eng land had afforded him much needed rest and relaxation. He had no pre- monition Of the fate that awaited him upon his return to his residence.
 He chatted intimately and infor- mally. as was his wont with those he knew and trusted. and he looked for ward with undisguised anticipation to the Washington conference, at which it had been suggested he might be a member of the American delegation
 There was much that he said that even his sudden taking off cannot remove the seal of confidence from, but there was one narrative he un- folded which he later repeated to several of his Republican colleagues as though he regarded it in the light of a good joke on himself. and which he intimated he thought was too humorous to keep to himself

He told me that Lloyd George and Lord Curzon were insstcnt that | dine with them. but adhered to my rule and declined their invitations. with the usual thanks
 found that in England they re- spect a man for sticking up for America when he is an American. as some of us stuck mp for America in the Versailles Treaty fight.
 Well Harvey told me, as We sat talking over the possibilities of the Disarmament Conference -possibili- ties l told him frankly I was distrust- ful of-that Lloyd George and ho had discussed the makeup of the American delegation"
