QUICKER MAIL SERVICE
TO ISTHMUS PROPOSED
Bids Will Be Asked for the Employ
ment Of Sixteen-Knot Steam
ships in 1914.

That the government has no doubt OF
the completion Of the Panama canal at
the time announced Is emphasized by the
announcement Of Postmaster General
Hitchcock Of an order looking to the es-
tablishment of an ocean mail service be-
tween the ports on the Atlantic and the
Pacific oceans and the ports Of Panama
and Colon on the fsthmus.
The invitation for proposals to furnish
the service calls for sixteen-knot steam
ships, the service to begin in the fall of
1914. 30 as to be in full operation when
the Panama canal IL opened. Weekly
service will be required on tho one hand
between New York and Colon, calling at
Charleston, or Savannah, or both. and
from New Orleans to Colon. and on the
other hand from Seattle and San Fran
cisco to Panama, calling at San Pedro.
or San Diego. or both.
Advantage Of the Canal.
The opening Of the canal will enable
the steamers that under this contract
carry the mails to Colon or Panama to
continue their journey through the canal
and proceed on the western voyage to
San Francisco or to points in South
points on the gulf and Atlantic coasts.
thus permitting them to carry cargoes
between distant points without breaking
bulk. This will afford a convenient and
reliable transportation line for freight, in
swifter steamers than any now avail
able. between the seaports on the two
coasts.
Thus the completion OF the Panama
canal. which is expected to open a new
era to the commerce OF the world. will be
accompanied by the establishment OF an
American ocean mail service that IL ex-
pected to fill q long-felt want In tho COM
merciai relations Of this country with

Titles m ENGLAND.

Forty or fifty years ago few people
in England had titles. There were
only few decorations which entitled
their owners to put the prefix Sir
before their names. We all of us
looked down with lofty contempt upon
the counts and barons that were SO
plentiful in continental countries. Now
we can do SO no longer, for probably
there is no other country in the world
where the traffic in titles Is SO open
and SO indecent as in England. What
the number of decorations is | do
not know, and imagine that few do.

ated and an Englishman with taste

DESTROY YOUR BAD fruit |!

Mr.. W. NJ. Giifard and his men who
are fighting against the Mediterranean
fruit fly are finding that the straw
berry and in fact all kinds of garden
guavas, and the Chinese oranges, are
the most prolific breeders Of the fly
that can be well imagined.
Here is something that every resi-
dent of Honolulu who has guavas or
Chinese oranges can do: Destroy the
infected fruit. 1t is worthless any
way when the fruit-ny spells 1t, and
II is a menace to all other fruit. The
funds available for fighting the fly are
almost ridiculously insufficient, and
only by individual effort can the cam
paign be successful.
