far more help than it seems; for as
the children learn a larger number
of enjoyable games, the occasions
when time hangs heavy on their
hands become fewer. Indeed, if
they knew enough such games,
there would be no such occasions
regardless Of weather or any other
circumstance.
Another plan that will help the
little ones to while away tedious
time is the reading and telling of
stories. Few of us understand how
much they enjoy telling stories to
Others or listening to them when
Others tell them. The supply of
really good stories is practically in
exhaustible and the books contain
ing them are inexpensive. The
children should be encouraged to
read them and after this to get to-
gether and tell them to one an
other, each one of course telling a
story that is new to the others.
This plan is nearly as effective as
that of indoor and outdoor games;
and if the two are used together
properly, they will go far toward
solving our difficulties in finding
something for the children to do. /

Our Rights Are First

A new and significant movement
in England is the organization of
the middle classes, as against either
the laboring or the capiralistic
classes. The organization, which
goes by the name Of "salariat,
probably because it is made up for
the most part Of salaried people, is
spreading rapidly. Its members
are in general minor officials, clerks,
bookkeepers, secretaries and many
others who have been finding them
selves so hard squeezed between
the upper and neither millstones of
avaricious capital and greedy labor
that existence, itself, has become
next to impossible at times.
The solution of the trouble be-
tween labor and capital will be f.
nally reached in all probability by
this road. The middle classes are
the real public, by which is meant
all that great mass of small prop
erty owners and people who man
age their own small businesses, as
we'll as the salaried classes. Per-
haps two-thirds of all the people of
onr country would fall into this
group; yet both capital and labor
seem to hold the view that it has
no rights whatever that are en-.
titled to respect. We have even
found them within the past two OF
three months complaining because
1 the so-called public is represented
by a small minority membership
on some Of the commissions ap.
pointed to settle questions of rates
wages, and other matters.
1t seems to be time that the
public asserted itself here as il
England; for the truth is that it!
interests should receive first con
slderation in the settlement of til.

The Problems of
HOME AND FAMILY
A Talk with our Wives, Mothers,
and Sisters
When Time Hangs Heavy

In the whole task of bringing up
children, there is hardly any prob
lem more puzzling than that Of
how to keep them occupied.
We know that the common prac-
,tice of haressing them with endless
don't" is all wrong. Very many
children, who would otherwise be
obedient and dutiful, are so dis
couraged and depressed by the flu
tile effort to find anything that
they are permitted to do that they
give up in despair and cease to care
whether they do right or wrong;
and this is when our real trouble
with them begins.
Our chief concern as mothers is
to find things that they may do
rather than to spend our time tell
ing them what they must not do;
and we all know that this task is
by no means the easy one that
others seem to think it is.
There are two or three helpful
plans that we may follow if we
care to take the trouble. One is to
make a real study Of the games
that children may play both in
doors and out. There are really
very many of these, that they
would greatly enjoy if they only
knew them, and that are adapted
to groups of all sizes. We can cas-.
lily procure books describing them
and after this we may not only BIZ
ready for any emergency with the
suggestion OF some new game bu1
we may even arrange for our owl
and other children to get togethe
in the right-sized groups to play
them. In general, this plan offer

could not attack it, and to provide
it new supply Of plasma for food
from time to time; and the strange
thing is that it is still alive and
growing, though the chicken from
which it came would long since
have died Of old age if its career
had not been cut short.
The conclusion is that so-called
natural death may not be a natu-
raj process at all but due instead
to some condition within the body
which gradually steals away the
vitality but which may or may not
be preventable; and already the
scientists are endeavoring to dis
cover what that condition is.

The new administration seems

This new department would have
four divisions as follows, each Of
which would be administered by
an assistant secretary:

The bill would give to the bu-

WILL HOLD MEETING AT
PUUKAPELE PARK CAMP

There will be meeting of the
board of managers of Puukapele
Park at Kama on Saturday, May
2l, for the purpose of looking in
to the matter of extending the
boundary lines of the park. The
proposed extension will about
double the size of the park and
will take in some very wonderful
scenery.
The general public is invited to
be present at this meeting, espec-
tally those who desire to take up
a camp site. The board will be
on the ground and can approve
the selections made without delay.
The present plan is to go up to
the park Friday evening, spending
the night around a camp fire, thus
having the whole of the Dist to
spend on the ground. The board
of managers of the park are; w.
F.. SanbOrn, j. Ii. Moragne, DR.. A.
III. WaterhouSe, f. NJ. Cheatham,
ana l)f. W. L. Dunn.
At a meeting of the board of
managers held last July it was
decided to let individuals select
their own camp sites, subject to
the approval of the managers.
This is a great improvement over
the former method of having to
take what was offered or choosing
a lot according to survey.

MACHINERY COMING
FOR HARB0R WORK

With from 80 to so men a day
working on the project, the work
on the new Nawiliwili harbor is
progressing very rapidly. The
big gangs of men busy every day
give very much the appearance of
armies of ants carrying away
loads of food. These men are
moving dirt and rocks i'll place of
the food though.
Mr.. Morris, superintendent of
the work, reports that two big
cranes are to leave Baltimore
May 18th for this work. One of
these cranes is a monster, having
a carrying.power of 80 tons. The
other is not a flivver either. 1t
can carry 10 tons at a load. A
16-ton Davenport engine is also
on its way out here and is expect
ed in Honolulu any day now.
This engine will be used exclus-
iEely for work on the new harbor.
The present plans call for a
basin 1000 feet long and about 600
feet wide. 1t is to be approx
mately 80 feet deep. That means
that such a boat as the Lurline
could sail up to the Nawiliwili
dock, empty its cargo, reload and
turn around in the fill, without
needing tug to pull it out back
wards, as is often done. 1t will
be a great day for Kauai when
this work is finished.
