chance in the business world and a
man's Day. and thev dont want to
be treated like a man. They want you
to always remember that they are
ladies Instead of just cogs in a big
machine for grinding out dollars,
which Is all that any business Is.
One of the chief reasons that wo
men so seldom rise to high places
In business houses is not their lack
of ability, bat because they have not
enough sporting blood to stand the
punishment by which a younger man
gets mauled into the shape in wnicn
be is most useful. By that I mean
that when I get hold of a promising
boy, I go after him with a sledge ham-
mer when he 'makes mistakes or
showa srmDtomji of slackness, and if
there is any stamina in him he doesn't
sulk, but learns how to do his work
efficiently, and eventually is wortn
rood money to himself and the firm.
"But when I tell my stenographer
that she Is bailing up business by
coming to her work an hour late, or
that J prefer the spelling of the late
Noah Webster to her peculiar per
sonal rarlety, or that it doefn't add
to the credit of a business house to
send out smeary and untidy letters,
why she bursts into tears and sobs
out that I don't treat a poor work
ing girl as if she was a lady.
"It's easier on the nerves to fire
an Incompetent girl than to stand for
her wounded feelings while you are
trrina to teach her. and that's where
the young .business woman loses out
through not having the sporting spirit
one of the most 1 valuable assets
that her brotker has.
"And it's women's lack of gameness
that's: at .''the- bottom of half of the
domestic misery in. the world. Sta
tistics . show . that ' more than - three
fourths of the dirorces are asked for
by women. " This is not because men
make so much worse - husbands than
women' make wives, but. because the
average man is a pretty good loser,
and the average woman is a bad loser.
"There sre Just as many men who
have 7 made fatal mistakes . in . their
choice of a life partner as there are
women.- i There are Just as many , men
(harried to women who 'do not under
stand them, .women who make their
lives unbearable 7: temper or nag
ging, : women i- who are . lazy .and shift
less : and extravagant ;ai there are
women married , to men .. who are
brutes, but - the man generally . shuts
his teeth on his misery "and bears it,
while the woman ' tells : her troubles
to all who will listen or goes with
them to the divorce court :
First' Set Eugene IX' Calhoun, Com
pany B, 2nd . Infantry, who has been
commissioned as provisional second
lieutenant in the - regular army, has
been . in. the, service for the lart 20
years, and was serving on' his seventh
enlistment when he received the pro
motion. - r." ' '' "'
- Lieut' Calhoun " went .. thr.Mghthe
entire ' campaign at Santiago y witl:
Company A. 2nd Infantry, which he
joined on' March 25, 1898. -On Hay 5,
1903. he was transferred to the 18th
Infantry, where he served out his en
llstment and was giten a discharge.
Following this he. enlisted with
Company B.. 2nd Infantry,, ending his
enlistment period as r Quartermaster
sergeant He again joined Company
B cf the 2nd Regiment on January. 10,
lsue, where He bu served as a non
commissioned officer since that tiro.
He holds six honorable discharges.;
' Wednesday noon . the entire com
pany assembled with Capt C'L,li
Kain, commander, and presented the
newly commissioned lieutenant with
a belt and . saber. - The presentation
was made In the company mess halt.
Caution may hereafter become an
asset of Attorney. Lorrin Andrews--
caution as to how he phrases his Ques
tions and as ; to how near- he . ap
proached a husky, witness. All ' this
because of the shaking the attorney
got In the police court on last Thurs
day., i . . ..l t : , ,?;-.: r : V
. Andrews was cross-examining a big,
sturdy native son of Hawaii who was
the defendant in an assault case. Per
sistently the witness declared that
he had not struck , the plaintiff, ; "I
only shoot him,"? he kept replying to
questions as to whether lie had not
hit the plaintiff . several . times. ;:
Tiiea in a belligerent attitude. At
torney Andrews walked up close- to
the .witness and demanded: ..rHow
did you shake V him?? r Before the
court officials could Interfere the wit
ness had crasped the attorney by his
coat and wui shaking him like a
puppr with a new play thing.-' 4 .
v Naturaliy, the,: court, proceedings
were stopped for 'a : moment by , the
laughter of the spectators. But An
drews, had the last laugh :a few mo
ments' later - when .. the witness 'con
victed himself by , admitting , that the
only reason.he had not hit the plain
tiff .was because he had "no chance."
, Capt Will Wayne, assistant to the
adjutant, general. Hawaiian National
Guard, has had to adopt the wearing of
puttees and a ' regulation uniform
since leaving the chair of private
secretary to the governor. ,
' v Wayne went downtown the other
day -with a pair of new shoes, and
gave "orders at a shoe store to have
rubber heels put on and the hooka
taken oft - Wayne sot tbrehoes last
night" v; ;' , ..
."They had fixed the heels all right
he said today. "And they had also
taken off the hooksThe thing that
bothered me was that they hadnt put
anything la place of the latter. - There
was nary a place to put the ahoe laces
as the hooks had been taken out slick
and clean, and no new holes had been
bored." - j-.- :' :;';.; : ? 'i .0;" ' :.
Wayne pondered over the shoes s
"And look at the way women plunge
in matrimony, and the way they back
out of their bargains when they get
just exactly what was coming to them.
There are the women who fall In
love with poor men and who marry
them knowing perfectly well how lit-
tie the men earn., But is such a wo
man game enough to accept her man
on the plane on which she married
him and go cheerfully to work to do
her own cooking and housework and
be perfectly happy though wearing a
last year's suit and riding In the street
cars?
"Not once in a blue moon. 8he
frets and fumes because she can't
have Paris gowns and motor cars like
her rich acquaintances have, and nags
the poor fellow because he don't
know how to make money, which is
paying the matrimonial game pretty
low down, in my opinion.
"Consider also the women who de
liberately pick out drunkards for hus
bands and then consider themselves
poor persecuted martyrs when their
spouses come home intoxicated. 11
I were a woman who married a man
who I knew drank, I'd be sport
enough never to say a word to him
in reproach, and I'd spend my time
applying wet cloths to his fevered
brow and mixing him bromo seltzers.
"And there are the women who are
married to good, ordinary fellows, the
sort of men who are working like
slaves, trying to do the very best that
is in them for their families, but who
have all the heart and courage in
them taken out by the ceaseless com
plaints and whines of their wives oyer
the hardships of their lives. These
women could change their husbands
from failure to success, - and their
homes from places of; torment and
gloom to sunshine and happiness If
they only had enough spirit to buek
up and take a fighting chance at life.
"Of course there are exceptions to
all rules. There are many women who
are game to the core: women wno
take their chance and lose and pay;
women who marry worthless black
guards, and stand by them tot the bit
ter end - without a complaint ever
crossing; their lips.
i "And when you, find a woman like
this with sporting blood in her. veins,
yon have found the superwoman."

Offer to Cooperate With - Juve-
'nile Court iri Reducing
::T :;r; Overtime- ' '
, -Vi J epssejeBssssSsa)
" Local ' pineapple canners have noti
fied Circuit Judge Heen of their wil
lingness to cooperate with the Juve
nile court In . reducing the working
hours of girls snd . young women in
the canneries, the court being, of the
opinion that overtime, caused by the
girls . themselves; has become a men
ace to thenu,, ; - -'
A case was before juvenile court re
cently of a young- girt who was get
ting home from the cannery at various
hours during the night The court
then : began an investigation ' with .a
view to making arrangements to allow
all young girls to leave the canneries
in the evening while It ia still light
Coupled with this was a movement to
prevent the girls from being over
worked, or working too long a period.
In both instances the canneries have
offered their cooperation.
TThe girls,, althugh they do not
have to, 'want 1 to work overtime in
order to make more money," said
the judge in comment "and they
want their employers to let them work
long hours. But the court feels .that
this should not be allowed to go on."
Another point : brought out in the
recent hearing is that undesirable
Filipinos are in "the habit of hanging
around the canneries at night and
their presence' Is considered by the
court to also be a menace to the girls.
CHEATHAMS BACK FROM
AUTO TOUR OF THE WEST
Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Cheatham with
their son, Edward Cheatham, arrived
in s Honolulu yesterday 4 aboard a
British liner from the coast after tour
ing through the West in their own
automobile. They will soon return
to their horccetead on Kauai.
"We drove from San L)iegu up into
Canada," said Mr. Cheatham, "and
in stopping off at important places
on the way we saw many interesting
things.
"The small towns through the West
are quite ,- excited over the war and
each place has its. own story on what
is going to happen. They are very
much wrought up by fear of spies,
and any man who bears any resemb
lance to a German ' is likely to bo
under suspicion," declared Mr. Cheat
ham. "There is much more . excitement
than there is here," said Mr. Cheat
ham, "besides, the people here seem
to be more liberal in their views than
they are In the West"

TIME TO
By R. W. GRAY
What is the matter with the people today?
Has the spirit of '61 wilted away?
If your gather or grandfather's living hell say
"Things -were far different in my time and day."
Do you ever thinkof the days that are gone?
If you do. don't you find something radically wrong?
Suppose General Washington was living today,
Do you think that the people would act the same way?
It seems that its time somebody awoke.
And helped the good people to throw off the yoke
Of the allmlghty dollar tsat's holding them down.
As moves towards patriotism they try to frown down.
It makes little difference what you think about the war,
Your country has called, and you're not up to par
If you don't come forward and offer yourself
And forget all your ideas of worldly wealth.
So wake up young slacker; oome do your wee Bit;
Though you may not be perfect, your country will fit
Tou in the place where you'll do it- the greatest of good
Ask you father or grandfather SEE IF THEY WOULD.
