BIG BUSINESS
IN INSURANCE
Amount Paid in Premiums Great
Iy Exceeds Losses and
Claims.

The insurance business in Hawaii is
in very flourishing condition, judging
from the figures made public by Cover
nor Frear yesterday. 1t has sugar
stocks beaten city block.
Premiums paid on fire insurance for
the past year have totaled Sass, 36lAe,
while losses and claims paid have
amounted to only the sman sum of So.
25971.
Premiums paid for marine insurance
amounted to $2S3,0S0.30, while losses
and claims paid totaled only $S,25S.04.
Life insurance premiums did not so
much exceed the losses paid, the pre-.
miums amounting to $i9S,052.l2 and
the losses to $464 SS3.36.
Governor Frear states that the above.
figure for one year are not proper
test, because the claims paid are apt 10
vary too much from year to year. As
matter of fact, the claims for fire and
marine insurance during the past yeas
have been unusually small while those
paid out ON life insurance have been
unusually large, Still, if one takes tn.
hSulVS lol thV pSiiou o. tue past buNeu
years, it is found that the total Of pre-
miums paid in greatly exceeds the total
of losses paid out. The premiums for
seven years for all classes of insurance
amounted to 1929, 636.S5 and the
losses paid to 1851; 92SI2-less than
one.third the amount of the premiums.
The capitalization of corporations
for the past year amounted to total
of $l52,0S5, 525, an increase of $15,777,.
400 over the total capitalization of the
year below.

DIVIDE HoNoRs EQUALLY
Latham Sets Pace for France,

Duplicates FeatS.

PARIS, August "A remarkable
duel of skill was fought out yesterday
between France and America, as repre-
sented by the aviators Latham and
Weymann, the outcome Of the contest
being a draw with both navigators Of
the air covered with honor and shar-
ing in the applause of thousands of
people who watched the start of their
duel and of other thousands who wit
messed the END OF it.
Latham, in his monoplane, started
from Chalons- sur-Marne and sailed to-
wards Paris, eighty.seven miles away.
He made two stops en- route, twice cir
cling the Eiffel Tower after reaching
the city to show the absolute control
he had over his machine.
Scarcely had he disappeared from
sight from Marine then
Weymann, the American aeroplanist,
started in his wake, following the
same course to Paris and duplicating
everything accomplished in his flight
by the Frenchmau.

The eight mortar guns of Battery
Harlow, Fort Kruger at Diamond, have

eral months and it is now complete and
the workmen are now engaged in com
pleting the extension to the 14-inch
batteries at Fort De Russy. From there
the fire control will be extended to the
battery at Fort Armstrong at the en-.
trance to the harbor of Honolulu and
the army officers will then carry il
along by submarine cable to Fort Ka-
mehameha at Pearl Harbor, thus giving
the control of the firing of all the great
guns from the single trig station on
the summit of Diamond Head.
This station will have conferred in it
the control of eight mortars at Fort
Ruger, two 14-inch guns at De Russy,
two at Armstrong and two at Pearl
Harbor, or fourteen high-powered guns
all told. In addition tc this the war
department has under contemplation
the erection of smaller batteries fur
Their along the Oahu coast along the
Waianae and Waialua way.
Mortars Not Defective.
The mortars at Fort Ruger are
not defective as many persons
have been led to believe, the only
defect arising from the initial tests be-
ing in the carriages. New carriages
have been received and the guns and
plates are being put into condition for
actual service.
Captain Timberlake, commandant of
Fort Ruger and chief of the artillery
district of Honolulu, has received in
formation from the war department
that no actual firing of these mortars
will be required this year, but the cap
tain is of the opinion that orders may,
after all, be received giving him per-
mission to use the guns, in order that
the coast artillerymen may have actual
practice. The men have been here
about a year and during that time have
had only one actual firing test Army
officers regard near-actual maneuvers as
absolutely necessary to fit training
for their men, as otherwise garrison
and battery work becomes monotonous
Nothing has been heard of the two
l4-inch guns for the battery at Fort
De Russy. The emplacements are ready
for them. Work is progressing salts
factorily on the emplacements for the
battery of two guns for Fort Arm
strong and the two 12-inch guns at
Pearl Harbor have been mounted for
nearly year, but are not even manned
as yet, the reservation being guarded
only by watchmen.

THE A

There was a great whispering
among the trees as Billie Bubble
awoke from a deep sleep. He had
been very tired. TIE day before he
had helped a little girl get her dolly
out Of the water, and it had been hard
work.
The sky was very dark and cloudy
and every now and then would come
flashes of light and low mrtterings Of
thunder.
81 wish I knew what the leaves
were whispering about" thought lit
tie Billie. "They seem excited, and
yet they seem happy"
Hello! Billie Bubble!" said a soft,
sweet voice.
Billie turned around, and there,
swimming easily and smoothly be-
side, him in the gray water, was a
beautiful red leaf.
$50 you were wondering what all
the excitement is about, were you?"
"Oh, yes" said Billie. Can you
tell me?"
"Yes," said the Leaf. There is to
be a raindrops' pail in just a few min
utaes. Almost every leaf sends one
drop at leastto the ball."
please, how do they co that?"
asked Billie.
We'll, wnen the raindrops fall on
the leaves, although the leaves would
love to wear them, they are so beau
tiful, yet they shake them off into
the brook, so that the raindrops can
enjoy the dancing. They're begin
ming now" said the Leaf:
Billie heard a great rush, then 4
pattering as though millions of little,
soft feet were dancing.
Hear the beautiful music Of the
;hunder?" said the Leaf. Don't you
dance. Billie?"
Did he dance? Well, you should
have seer little Billie Bubble dance.
Up and down he went. around and
around. Such a time re W. had
before in all his life.
AS far as Billie could see up and
down the brook raindrops were dane
ins as though their very lives depend
ed upon it. The leaves kept shedding
the Raindrops into the brook until it
wa, so crowded with dancers they
faiily danced on one another.
Al of a sudden the SUI came out
from behind a dark cloud. the sound
of he dancers became fainter and
fainer, the thunder music stopped,
and when Billie regained his breath
| what do you think he saw?-the most

WHEN TRAVELLING ALONE.

1t is regrettable, but true, that
many women must travel alone. In
street cars or on longer journeys, and
to them I wish to speak to-day. Bust
ness or necessity often takes a wom-
en- from the shelter Of her home and
places her in situations that require
the most circumspect behavior. A
trained nurse, q doctor, a student or
a young M travelling from n
place to another is subjected to crit
icism and a treatment that is different
from that accorded to a group. 1t is
necessary that the fact that she IS
alone be made as inconspicuous as
possible.
In the first place. neve dress in a
manner to attract attention. Take
off all dazzling jewelry, leave the
beautiful plumes at home, and wear
your plainest and most refined
clothes. A quiet demeanor and in
conspicuous garb are best at all times
and doubly valuable when travelling
alone.
Avoid any chance acqualntances. l
know one young nurse who can look
with horror to a day when a kind
woman relieved her Of a we'll filled
suit case-due to the unnecessary
familiarity OF; a railroad seat.
A book is a good, reliable compan-
| ion to a solitary traveller. Any forced
remarks from an intruder seem hope
less if you intrench% yourself behind a
book.
A well bred, digniied reserve will
accomplish wonders when the famil-
lar salesman looks your way. Take
my word for it, there will be many
opportunities to use it. For years
studied at college, quite a distance
from home, and there were hundreds
of chances for me to observe how
travelling alone seems to bring upon
the woman's head many little indig-
mites.
1 have not spoken of the positive
danger to women Of travelling unac-
companied by night. A sudden trip
! on the first train will involve a wom-
an in many difficulties of which she
never dreamed in the walls of her
! home. If a sleeper is required, I adj

MANGOES.

These good, old-fashioned, home
made pickles, which our grandmoth-
ers patterned after East Indian prep
arations, are again in the height OF
gastronomic style, and the woman
who knows how to make them may be
sure that they will eve go TO waste
on her hands. They may be made
from small green melons, water or
musk melons, green tomatoes, large
cucumbers, peppers, peaches any
fruit, in fact, from which the inside
seeds or stone can be removed, the
cavity filled with a sweet or sour
pickle mixture and the opening closed
so as to give the appearance of a
whole fruit. When melons are used,
cut out a wedge large enough to scoop
GU. the seeds and soft portions.
For peppers or green tomatoes, cut
a circular piece from the stem end
and remove the seeds. Then put the
pieces in place again and soak ever
night in brine. In the morning drain,
taking pains to keep the separated
parts of the same fruit or vegetables
together. For the filling use firm
white cabbage, choppedvery fine, with
q quarter as much celery, cucumber,
green tomato or green peppers.
Sprinkle we'll with salt and stand
aside for several hours.
Drain, and to each pint Of the veg
etables add a small onion, a few mas
turtium seeds, a ~teaspoonful of mus
tard seed and salt, pepper, ginger,
cloves, allspice and cinnamon to taste.
Mix thoroughly, fill the cavities, pack
Ing in closely, fit in the pieces that be-
long in and wrap firmly with twine.
Cover with vinegar and let the pickle
stand over night. In the morning
heat all together and simmer for half
an hour. Remove carefully, put in a
stone Jar and cover with cold vinegar.
The next morning pour off the vine
gar and allow a half cup Of sugar to
each quart of the vinegar. Scald and
pour over the .mangoes. Repeat the
scaldings for several mornings, and

The Tick Problem.

The tick problem has deferred
many in the past undertaking to in
troduce improved sires, because most
of them have to be bought north of
the quarantine line. We would, by
all means, advocate tick eradication,
though in some instances the farmers
are not ready to take up this impor-
tant phase Of the work. The next
best thing is to immunize the suscep-
tible animals against tick fever before
they are taken to the farms. This
can readily be done, and statistics
show that where the work is properly
done between eight and nine per cent.
Of the cattle so treated are affected
when ticks get on them, whereas
more than fifty per cent. of them will
be killed by the ticks If this precau-
tion is not taken. Through the de-
spartment OF veterinary medicine the
College of Agriculture is in a
position to render this service to the
people OF the State and the only

time the treatment is given.
What is true in regard to cattle
breeding would be equally applicable
to horse breeding. AS stated above,
the college is in a position to render.
all assistance necessary in organizing
clubs, purchasing the sires and estab-
fishing this work in any section Of the
State where a desire for this assist
ance is expressed. We have already
started work of similar character in
many places, and are anxious to pros

THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS.


On the first Sunday of their visit
in Chicago the successful merchant
escorted his parents TO a fashionable
church. Some of the hymns were
familiar, and in their rendition the
visiting pair contributed heavily, with
the credit for volume in favor of the
father.
Although rot always in correct
time, and sometimes in discord, yet
the joy of the good couple leaped
forth in joyous praise, and they did
not see the glowering looks of near

A SERMON BY A CAT.

One day, upon returning to my
room, after a brief absence, a curious
state of things was to be seen.
Cards and papers were tossed
about. Papers, writing desk and
tablecloth were sprinl.led with ink.
The nearby window shades and
white curtains were despatched with
ink. 1t was clear that someone had
improved the opportunity to have
some fun, which did not seem to me
to be funny at all.
Of course, I thought of the children
in the household. But it did not seem
to be like them. They had not been
brought up in that sort OF way. And
it was not their habit to come to my
room alone.
Just as I gave it up a white paper
was seen on the other side of my desk
and on it some telltale marks. I I'M
derstood. The mystery was solved.
Two distinct footprints left upon the
| paper let the secret out.
The pet cat, which had the run
of the house, and whose bump OF
curiosity was overdeveloped, had
climbed upon my table, and being
anxious to find out the contents Of my
ink bottle, had put its foot into it
in more senses than one. To get rid
of the ink, in shaking its feet it spat-
tered things far and near, stepping
twice on a sheet of paper before leav-
ing the table. OF course, it could not
take all the ink with it.
