THE SPEED OF AUTOS.

Editor Advertiser: Please allow me
space in your esteemed paper anent the
many accidents and ofttimes serious
results occurring from fast driving in
autos and other vehicles in the streets
of Honolulu, which are now frequently
crowded. Minor accidents, as the pub
lie are aware, are common, while serious
happenings frequently jar the nerves
of the whole community, resulting often
in extremely sad, consequences. A case
in point is that of the noble young sol
der, who, on the morning after the
accident, while lying in the Queen S
Hospital, told the writer, it may have
been all his fault, the auto striking him
in getting out the street car. But he
did not know; he was confused And
now after a few days, he lies buried,
away from the reckless speed jam and
confusion of a Honolulu day, where the
autos are madly adding there terrors
to the ordinary dangers of eongested
traffic and travel
Are the drivers and passengers of
these machines aware of the nerve dis
turbing tactics, frequently so terrifying
and fOot9 Even the most self-cOmposed
become confused and baked at street
crossings and in public thoroughfares.
Are they aware of the hardships they
impose upon people of impaired eye
sight, hearing, lameness. and other mis-
fortunes, that may impede there move
ments9 And then most people are
'ervous in way, liable to get ratified
in a jam. No matter how sound there
average perception and judgment, they
may not always, in a street corner fusil-
lade of ears, autos and other speeding
vehicles, do the right thing at the right
time.
Are our coroners and legal lights
aware of the great percentage of peo-
pie in all walks of life, sex and age.
who are thus more or less afflicted. all
the way from wooden-leg to a glass
eve and in case of accident, inquire
into these things and judge accord
ingly2
1t is not the machine of the business
man that supplies the danger. A man
Of affairs is invariably cautious and
safe driver. The danger is with the
public auto drivers, who keep a head
long pace for profit; with jolly royster-
ers with flaming ribbons and stream
ing hair, too busy to think of anyone
but themselves. The autos that so fire.
quently flash across street openings and
round corners are the occasion of the
trouble
And the danger is increased with the
number of autos, but the legal safe
guards have not gained. The situation
calls for prompt and drastic action at
some hand. There may be law enough
to check this growing menace to peace
and security. If so, in the name of
average humanity, apply it.
Respectfully.
J. a. DOVER.

soil has been put into a small vege-
table garden, and excellent lettuce,
radishes and tomatoes have been pro-
dueed in abundance, with a few water
melons and summer squash. The let
tuce must, however, be grown under
bug-proof frames on account of the
swarms of caterpillars which infest
every sand dune with any vegetation
upon 1.-THE sand dunes providing the
only places sheltered sufficiently from
the strong winds for any efforts in the
direction of gardening. Since the in
PRODUCTION of chickens upon a large
scale, the running of the young
broods upon the worst infested places
has materially lessened the pest, and
it will probably, by that means, be
finally stamped out.
If vegetable-raising be attended
with difficulty at Midway, the opposite
is the case with embarrassing.
Starting, a little over year ago, with
a small stock of choice Leghorns, the
station has been continuously supplied
with eggs, and over a hundred chicks
have been Matched and raised to adult
age without a single case of sorehead
and less than half a dozen deaths
from other causes. Some of our Ho-
nolulu chicken-fanciers would be well
pleased if they could obtain results
like these, results that are probably
due to the absolute purity of the air,
as is also the fact that no one ever
gets a cold at Midway. or, if he bring
one there, gets it "ozoned' out of
him in a very short while.
The Water Supply.
The last item to mention, but of first
importance in any community, is the
water supply. This is provided by
two windmills, each pumping from
sinking in the sand, cased with terra
Gotta pipe. With average winds these
pumps can elevate 5000 gallons per
day each Heavy service on the pump
supplying water for the ice machine
installation results in a slight brack
ishness to the taste, which remains
constant, however, in spite of the fact
that for over three years water has
been drawn from this well continuous
", and this has been accepted as proof
that the sea water is the source of
the supply. A smaller hand-pump,
which provides drinking and cooking
water, gives water perfectly free from
faint.

Iowa Women Win a Victory

One of tho most signal victories
ever won for woman's right to the
ballot was the discussion of the
Supreme court in the suit brought
by the women of Des Moines, Iowa,
to have set aside an election involv-
ing the building of a city hall and
the issuance of bonds therefor, be-
cause women had not been allowed
to vote. The supreme court set
aside the election as invalid, for in
Iowa women have the right to vote
in bond elections. The case was
contested through all the courts, the
suit has been carried to its final
triumph for the women by Miss
Grace Ballantyne. Competent law
yers declare her argument was one
of the finest ever heard in the
Supreme Court room.
