THOUGHTS ON BUSINESS
DY
WALDO PONDRAY WARREN '
BLUNDERS ABOLISHED
ANYTHING that wilt reduce the number of mistakes made
by employes Is always gladly received by business men
who appreciate the extent to which "human frailty" (a
charitablo synonym for carelessness) causes trouble, dissat
isfaction, and a curtailing of net profit.
In a large jobbing house the other day I saw a clever
devlde that Is said to be effective. On the inside cover of
the order binders, which accompany every order, there was a
sentence, printed In letters half an Inch high, as follows:
"Please see that there are no 'blunders' made while this
book Is in YOUR possession."
The obvious practical value of this caution appeals to
one Immediately. Certainly, if each person through whose
hands the book passed made no blunders there would be none
in the whole order, and if each order was filled without
blunders there would be none In the whole order-filling de
partment. "How does it work?" I asked.
"Oh, that's a fine thing," said the man. "When we first
put that on our order books there was an immediate and note
worthy decrease in the number of blunders made. And the
percentage has remained lower than before. Of course, after
the men get uesd to that sign It doesn't make as much Im
pression as it did at first, but the effect is still good."

PUZZLING
CLIMATE
The Curious Way Rain Falls In!
Balmy Honolulu. I
A PERPLEXING SPECTACLE. .
Downpours Half a Mile Away That
Threaten to Drench You Every Mo
ment, but Never Arrive A Riot of
Broken Up Rainbows in the Valleys,
The most perplexlug llilug nbout
Hawaii's climate to the new arrival
is Uie matter of rainfall. You begin I
to exnerlonce this perplexity before
you have set foot ou the dock at Hono
lulu, when you consult anxiously with
your fellow travelers ns to the ndvlsa
blllty of digging out an umbrella or
rainproof before you go ashore. The
chances are that you nro all convinced
that tho heavy veil of black clouds
which shuts out portions of the moun
tain scenery from view nnd the few
drops of rnlu which the fresh shore
breeze dashes In your face like flash
lug jewels torn from that bit of rain
bow arc warnings too plain to be ig
nored, and you preparo accordingly for
the downpour which seems imminent.
You observe with somo surprise that
none of the wearers of the dainty cos
tunics you pass on the Btreot appear to
be In the least perturbed by tho possi
bility of getting caught in tho Impend
ing shower until after awhile it dawns
on you that the storm keeps right on
Impending and uothlug mure. As you
rldo In a street car along the flashing
seabeach, vivid with color of break
lug surf and of flowers in trees and
hedges along tho way, the sunshlno
never appeared so brilliant. Rut off to
the left in a beautiful little valley
tucked like n deep pocket in the moun
tains nnd seemingly scarcely half a
mile nway there can be no doubt of
tbo fact that a good, heavy rain is fall
ing. Tho sunlight striking through
the fulling drops fills tho vnlley with
a glory of broken up rainbows a riot
of color that causes one to gasp and
exclaim In admiration. There can be no
doubt that the rain wo have seen fall
lug Is real nnd that It Is as near as it
seems, for tho wind uow ami then car
ries refrcsldug dashes of it into the
open enr, causing n few of tho passen
gers to change their scats to the oppo
site aide. IJut still the street is per
fectly dry 'and the sunshlno as bright
as ever.
Five minutes later we leave tho car
at 1 ho foot of a great jagged pile of
volcanic rock that marks tho vent of
n prehistoric volcano, and the red baso
and sides which support n stunted,
racsqulte-llkc growth and a few cacti
look as though they hadn't had a good
shower for sir months. And they prob
ably haven't..
In time one learns that Hawaii' cli
mate Is -purely a matter of locality;
that the report of the rainfall for any
given lime, published by tho United
States weather bureau, does not mean
for every place In the territory nor for
tho Island of Oahu nor even for tho
city of Honolulu, but only for the
place where the rnlu gauge stands. It
would not bo true for a placo half or
three-quarters of n mile nwny. Ono
Icarus that he may live In Honolulu
under very different conditions ns to
precipitation, uccordlng to location. In
some of the valleys rain falls practi
cally every day of the year and varies
In amount In different parts of tho
Banio valley, which may be only a inllo
or two loug. There are other sections
In which tho splendid lawns and bow
ers of green follago which surround
beautiful homes nro only possible,
through constant Irrigation. And thero
are to be found almost every degree of
moisture between these extremes.
Like everywhere clso, one finds peo
ple of every turn of mind In Houolulu
as to the most desirable places in
which to live. In sections where tho
rainfall may amount to two or three
hundred Inches per year vegetation
nourishes most luxuriantly nnd with a
minimum of nttentlon. There is also
an absence of humid feeling In the at
mosphere or disagreeable dampness
which ouc usually associates with
much rainfall. This is accounted for
by the fact that the rain comes in
showern, of which u dozen or more
may come lu a day and may occur
while tbo sun Is shining brightly,
whilo the never falling trndo winds
nnd a porous soli dry up the surface
moisture wlthlu a few minutes after a
shower has passed. The heaviest pre
cipitation also usually occurs at night.
In the dry sections, if one bas plenty
of water with which to irrigate (and
Honolulu has a splendid system of wa
terworks with ample supply), one may
more easily control what be would
grow and at the same time cscapo the
hiconvenleuco of oft occurring show
ers. Some of Honolulu's most beauti
ful residence districts as well as the
ieautiful Kaplolanl park, one of the
most beautiful tropical gardens lu the
world, was originally barren sand
plain), practically devoid of vegeta
tion and once thought to be worthless.
The uewcomer is often puzzled to bear
an old resident refer to "the plains"
when speaking of a section of the city
In which are located some of the
soost magulflceut home. and beautiful
ground In the whole territory.
The variation of rainfall, together
with the difference in temperature duo
to elevation, give to Hawaii a diversi
ty of climate that cau scarcely be
equaled in the world, lacking only In
extremes of cither heat or cold. 'Will
