The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1907-08-19

A fire that would have broken all
Honolulu records and created panic
and disaster in Kakaako as well as a
large part of the rest of the city, was
averted yesterday morning at eight
o'clock by only a very few minutes.
Some incendiary started blaze in the
government kerosene warehouse in
Kakaako. BY the time it was reached
by the fire department over a dozen
coal oil boxes, with tins full inside
them, were blazing. Several were
burned clean through and the outsides
of the full tins can be seen today,
burned black. Still, none exploded and
none leaked, and the firemen in charge
of the chemical engine, with splendid
bravery, attacked the dangerous fire
and put it out. 1t was the most excit-
ing and dangerous work Honolulu
firemen have had to do.
In the warehouse in various parts
are thirty or forty thousand gallons oi
highly explosive gasoline. They are
in iron drums, or barrels. containing
about 110 gallons each. If the fire had
reached them, there would have been a
series of several hundred explosions
which would have shook the whole
neighborhood, and very likely caused
loss of life.
The appearance of the burned cans
as seen this morning makes it seem
almost incredible that the oil did not
get started The fire had gone far
enough to burn through the floor and
was blazing away, up the wooden sides
of tiers of full oil cases, all slightly
oily, when the firemen went to work
1t is evident that the heat must have
been very nearly the explosion point
and one oil can started would have
meant that firemen and everyone else
in the neighborhood must run for their
lives.
The fire was started in two places
in the Waikiki part of the premises
Down stairs was one fire and up stairs
another. The one up stairs was start
ed on the desk of C. B. Reynolds, whS
is in charge at the warehouse, but was

another VIRTUE
FOUND IN SUGAR

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. S.-Dr. Alb
bott, chief of the Bureau of Health, an
nounced yesterday that he believed
that the appetite for candy and alcohol
are fundamentally the same, that by
the development of a candy taste the
body was fortified against desire for
rum, and in furtherance of his theory
he had been feeding his three children
each day on a regular allowance of
sweets.
DR.. Chalmers de Costa of Jefferson
College supported DR.. Abbott's theory
and said that he found that blonde per
sons usually had a candy craving,
while brunettes long for alcohol. This
was because the latter were more vital.
1t also had been discovered that with
in recent years women eat less candy
and consume more alcohol. The re-
verse is true in men. DR.. Abbott said:
"Both sugar and alcohol are carbo-
hydrates with the same organic MOLE
cules, differing only in arrangement,
and both administer to the same or
ganic craving. Many men are develop
ing a taste for sweets. Candy is TAX
ing the place of dangerous appetite.
Statistics show that within three years
just passed the consumption of choco-
late in America has increased more
than other edibles. Also the soda
water business has increased phenom-
inally and confectionery shops are
more numerous and of greater preten-
sions than was dreamed of four or five
years ago. On the other hand, in pro-
portion the sale of alcohol shows a
slight decrease"
DIR. Abbott's confession of faith
was called out by an article in one OF
the foremost English periodicals, in
which a recent visitor to the United
States said the Americans were a ma
tion of candy eaters.
