HyDROGRAP
WORK BEGUN
Chief of Federal Bureau Here
to Take Observations on
HaWaii's Problems.

Released from the geologic survey,
W. F. Martin, chief hydrogra pher of
that survey, yesterday arrived in Ho-
nolulu on the China to commence the
study of the Island geology for pur-
poses of supplying data for the con
servation of water, a study that will
occupy possibly five years time. Martin
has been released without prejudice
from the service; lent to Hawaii, as it
We're. At any time he wishes, he may
return to the Coast and resume his
position in the federal work. Should
he find the climate nard on him or on
Mrs. Martin, who accompanied him, he
may return, but it is not probable that
he will leave for several years.
He Immediately placed himself under
the orders of Marston Campbell, super
intendent of public works, and is now
installed at his desk in Campbell S of
fee. The latter has advised him to
take a week at least to rest up,r read
up, and become acquainted with the
town, advice which he will probably
follow.
In discussing his work yesterday
Martin stated that proper results, or
the gathering of sufficient data to com
ance practical work, could not be OBJ
tanned in less than three years or maybe
five, Two years would hardly be suffi-
Gent
Then, he saws, the results of his work
viii result in the establishing of dams,
reservoirs and other means of saving
Hawaii s precious waters. Eventually
it might naturally resolve itself into
reclamation work, either by an extern
sion of the government reclamation ser
vice, under the auspices of the Terri
tory or by private capital.
"You can not said Martin yester-
day, proceed with such work until
YOU have a sufficient working ground
Formerly people made a guess as to
the quantity of water in streams, were
told that it was the dry season, etc.,
and built large enterprises on the guess
such made. Such enterprises, founded
on such an insecure foundation, stand
great chances to fail -
Martin s work here, he expects, will
be confined largely to the study of the
problems connected with surface waters
and will do very little work in con
nection with the underground waters.
He intends to take in all the Islands,
Kauai particularly
81 have been told that conditions
here are so different than on the main
land. - he said. "'That I can not apply
methods used there to the problems
here. All l can do is to study the
problems myself and originate methods
of solving them as the requirements
make themselves clear | have the per-
functory observations of others who
have made examinations of the ground
but this is all. -

PEARL HARbOR To
be GREAT NAVAL
BASE: Of PACIFIC

WASHINGTON, November 1.-THE
President has approved the recon-
mendation of the joint army and navy
board for making Pearl Harbor, in the
Hawaiian Islands, the great naval sta
ton in the Pacific In doing this it
was considered that a temporary naval
station only would be constructed at
Olongapo and that the proposed i'm
provement in Manila harbor would be
abandoned. This will leave the pro-
lection of the Philippines to the army.
The determination to minimize the
fortifcations in the Philippine Islands
and to make Pearl Harbor a great
naval station was not, it was explained
today, because of any intention to
withdraw American control from the
Philippines. 1t was done, it was said,
purely for reasons Of strategy.
For years a fierce controversy has
been waged as to whether the principal
fertilization in the Philippines should
be located at Olongapo or Cavite. The
naval officers favored Olongapo and
the army Manila bay on the ground
that Olongapo could not be protected
from land attacks.
The big floating dry dock Dewey IS
now at Olongapo and under the present
plan will be retained there. Such i'm
provements as are made at this point.
now estimated to cost between $500, 600
and 100000 will be with the idea of
removing the Dewey to some other
port IN ease of danger from attack.

UNITED ACTION
IS DEMANDED
AntituberCuIoSiS Work Requires
Specialists Attention
Mrs. Moses Writes.

It is fortunate for the general pub
lie interest, but more especially SO for
the poor tubercular patient, that a
place so unfavorable as the fshmarket
proposition has been vetoed. A day
camp or ANY tubercular camp located
within or near the city limits, on damp,
low ground, swept by dust storms and
subject to constant noise from city
traffic and tenement life, defeats the
object sought for and most essential
for the recovery of patients in early
stages of pulmonary or other forms of
tuberculosis. Such patients must have
dry, fresh air, free from dust and
germs.
Another location equally undesirable
has been suggested-a plot of land on
the corner of King and the Asylum
road. This plot is swept by dust and
subject to noise from street traffic and
Objectionable tenements.
| Last winter, when the work devel-
! oped beyond expectation, the need of a
! day camp became apparent. I talked
/ the matter over with the College Club
! committee, and the expense for equip
ment and support of simple and in
expensive camp was discussed; also of
presenting the subject to the Red Cross
| Society.
l,oI
| York, Cleveland and Providence. Rhode
Island, and knew those camps began
| on small scale and accomplished
! much good at small expense.
] visited Kaimuki with a number of
the College Club, as that was the only
location we favored for a camp and
the one advised by physicians interest
ed in the plan.
The paper presented by Miss Pope
for the College Club, at the Red Cross
Society was favorably acted upon, and
after due deliberation the society de-
eided to take up the support of a day
camp for tuberculosis patients.
AS there is no active society of
workers in the Red Cross Society, it
was thought best to place the camp
under the superintendent of the Pa
lama Settlement committee.
The future welfare of tuberculosis
work in these Islands, and the cam
paign initiated one year ago by the
College Club, and now undertaken by
the Red Cross should be placed on its
own special foundation, not as a part
of any other work.
We would not dream of putting the
work of stamping out bubonic plague
or leprosv where it had but a part
of superintendent s time. Thus it
behoves the public and all persons who
are called upon to contribute to the
support of this work, so important to
public health, to spare no effort until
/ the money appropriated last spring for
| stamping out the disease be used for a
skilled physician who can superintend
the work and workers in practical
| and most effective manner, as the work
| is done elsewhere
This is. the plan of the College Club,
which has been among the pioneer
; workers to initiate this work. 1t was
/ the subject advanced last February at
large public meeting held under the
auspices Of the College Club, and voiced
by several prominent speakers.
1t has been brought before the Red
Cross Society by Mrs. Frear, and yes

Long MINDED Preachers.


Dean LEROY, who expressed the
opinion that ten minutes Is long
enough for sermon, would have met
with scant sympathy from some d.
vines Of past centuries, says the West
minister Gazette. $
Thomas Hooker considered three
hours fair average allowance for a
sermon, though, on one occasion, when
he was i'll, he let his congregation off
more lightly. Pausing at the end of
fifteen minutes, he rested awhile and
then continued his homily for two
hours longer. Cranmer's sermons were
each a small book when set up III type.
and Baxter, Knox, Bunyan and Calvin
rarely reached Lastly, my brethren,"
under two hours. sS$@
George Herbert once said: 'srhe par
son exceeds not an hour in preaching,
because all ages have thought that q
competency" but certain rector Of
Bilbury, Gloucestershire. was Of an
other opinion, for he never sat down
under two hours. The SQUIRE, we
learn, usually withdrew after the. text
was announced, smoked his pipe out
side and returned for the blessing.

"The best Of fathers is the pipefish, -
