SERVICE EVERY SECOyD l.e Kexall Stor Box 42G Honolulu, T. n. By Donald 8. Boman. The outstanding feature of the Con ference was the remarkable cooper ation of all workera representing the different agencies eng-iged in work generally known aa soc.al welfare. In most communities we find a woeful lack of cooperation and good feeling, often caused largely by the idea that social work, being -highly specialized, should be divided Into many different branches, each with a thoroughly trained specialist at. Its head. In Hawaii the work is carried on in a practical way to obtain results and not statistics. One of the ' great benefits which the Conference brought to the indi vidual workers was in giving them an opportunity to become acquainted with other workers and learn of their ways of handling the many problems which confront all social workers. Each seemed to return to his own field of endeavor with new energy and ambition, ready to carry on for another year In the interests of humanity. The papers and discussions brought out the idea of service and of cooper ation with all welfare agencies. One gained an Impression that the person al element enters largely into the work, and that the successful worker Is the one who has on Interest in humanity and a background of Christ-1 ian training. Many professional workers seem to think that in order to interest the general public In wel fare work they must assume an atti tude apparently showing little consid eration for any religious influence In carrying on the work. This attitude did not find expression at the Confer ence. The program was one of the most comprehensive carried out by any so cial conference in any country, cover ing as It did city, community, rural, industrial and government work. The entire proceedings went forward in an interesting and businesslike man ner. The only criticism offered was that the days were too strenuous and that not enough time was devoted to discussion. The value of discussion cannot be over-estimated, as it brings out experiences and suggestions which are helpful to other workers. In We Have It Whatever you may need in the line of Dry Goods, Groceries, and General merchandise, we have it. J. I. SILVA'S Eleele Store welfare, as well as other branches of work, the method of approach has much to do with the success of the worker, and all can well profit by the human Interest stories told to illus trate ways and means of dealing with our people of twenty nationalities. The Industrial Service Section was a surprise to the general public, as the extent of industrial service work on the plantations was not generally understood or appreciated. The gen uine interest that the Hawaiian Sugar ! Planters' Association and individual plantations took in the Conference was shown by the large number of delegates from all islands who atten ded at the expense of the plantations. The papers and addresses presented by the plantation workers were excel lent, covering a wide range of activ ities. They Rhowed the progress of Xhe work, which has as its foundation the idea of building up better planta tion communities through an all-round progressive and constructive policy, working on the principle that indust rial service or welfare work Is a part of the sugar business and must bo carried on by the plantations in co operation with the community; for without community interest being aroused, there can be no success in such activities as go to make better social conditions. The undercurrent of thought that prevailed throughout the sessions, finding expression now and then, was that successful welfaro work is not a matter of giving, but of helping others to help themselves, and that rural community and plantation activities should be in the hands of the people, operating under the di rection and guidance of trained work ers. Hawaii has become known as one of the greatest melting pots of the world. When people of all rations dwell here In peaco and harmony, which is the ideal we are all working toward, then will the workers who assembled at the first Conference of Social Work receive their reward, for those who attended the Conferenre and listened to the earnest men and women gathered there could not help but feel that with the carrying out of the work outlined Hawaii-nel will be come indeed the Paradise of the Pacific.

TELESCOPIC DEVICE WANTED AT PALI TO INTEREST TOURISTS An application of the Hawaii Tour ist Bureau to erect a telescopic de vice at the Pali was approved at a meeting of the board of supervisors Tuesday night, subject to final decis ion of the roads committee to which it was referred. Next week, accord ing to the Star-Bulletin, the commit tee, accompanied by representatives of the bureau will make a special trip to the Pali to inspect the desired location. The device, is in reality a mock telescope designed primarily to iden tify and point out places and local ities of inturest to new coiners. It consists chiefly of -an ordinary piece of 1 inch iron pipe so mounted on a swivel that it may be turned from sida to bide or elevated to desired angles. By placing the pipe in indi cated notches or pegs and looking through the pipe the indicated places are seeu. After these have been located they may be viewed with tho nakt-d eye or with field glasses, the pipe serving or.ly to name the places.
