Army Aviator Lost His Way.

Army Aviator Lost His Way.
Chicago News: Lost in the clouds!
Capt. Paul w. Beck of the United
States army, who will fly at the inter-
national aviation meet which begins
tomorrow in Grant Park, today told
the details of the mishaL only two
days ago in which he lost his way
while flying near the national capital.
AS a result of the army aviator's mis-
adventure it is altogether likely that
the bird-man of the near future when
he ascends into the ether will have
with him to guide him safely in his
course an aerial chart.
THE affair might have ended serl-
Ously, l presume" said Capt Beck,
upon his arrival in Chicago this morn
ing, but it didn't, and now only the
humorous side of it strikes me. 1t

and is therefore quite fresh and vivid
in my mind. This was the way of it:

it to be no more than that, as matter
of fact. At a pretty good altitude l
circled Washington barracks, about
ten miles from my starting point, ana

spot from which / had started.
Right there l got lost!
That's a fact. l really and truly
got lost. Which is to say, took the
wrong way home. l had intended to
follow the railroad back to College
Park, and l had my eye on the long,
thin line of track away down beneath
me, all the way-or thought l did.

to watch that railroad track.
Before long a train came footing

it was going fast by the quantities OF

this county.
In speaking of his trip around the
island Mr. Blanchard said:
Destroyed Canned Stuff.
Landing at Mahukona met Health
Officer Bowman, who has charge of
this island, and we made the trip
around together, inspecting the plan
tation and Japanese stores on the way
We found good deal of the food stuff
offered for sale which was not in fit
condition for consumption and also
many cases in which goods were wrong.

existed and the goods were such that
they could not be relabeled, they were
ordered destroyed and goods which
we're adulterated with injurious mater
ials, or which were decomposed were
given the same treatment.

"Of the various sections of the is
lands, l think that the condition dis
covered in Kohala was the worst.
There we found great many pickles.
which were badly decomposed, with a
heavy sediment in the bottom and in
some cases black for a couple of inches
from the tops of the bottles. A great
deal of bad tinted fruit was also found,
which was destroyed. All this stuff
was apparently old stock and in some
cases l believe that the trouble comes
from small stores ordering too large
quantities of goods, that is so much
that they cannot sell them all before
they deteriorate.
"In Kohala we found a great deal

ton and not only will this be started
but also kept up till the situation is
Temedied. OF four samples tested on
Tuesday morning, two we're excellent,
while two were far below the required
standard. One of these was so bad
that had the test been made officially
and the care taken in such case in
Negard to the handling of the product
been observed, an arrest would have
been made before now.
According to the Territorial stan
dard, the milk offered for sale should
test at least two and a half per cent
of butter fat, while in Honolulu it is
provided by ordinance that it should
reach three per cent Any ordinary
good milk should reach three and a
half. From this statement the charac-
ter of the poorest sample obtained,
which showed only one and four
tenths of butter fat, may be imagined.
The second sample which was below
standard was close to the line, reach
ing two and four tenths per cent. The
other two samples which were tested
were very good indeed, one being four
and two tenths, while the best was
five per cent, which came from large
Portuguese dairy and was pronounced
by Mr.. Blanchard to be one of the best
samples which he has found in the
diaries of the Territory.
Mr.. Blanchard made the tests with
Mr.. Russell, who has recently been
appointed to take charge of this class
of work in this city, and who will OBJ.
tain samples of all suspicious milk in
the future and in case of doubt on
tests send sealed samples to Honolulu

will be taken with other adulterated

embraced.
The price of sins had gone up since
the last lot were delivered for, where
as the 500 only cost her SIS, she had
to pay no less than $50 for the $50.
whereas, figuring on the old basis.
she should have been allowed at least
1000 sins for the money, not allowing
for the ever-prevalent discount for
quality.
The elders very thoughtfully loaned
her $50 from fund which they said
was Gods share" to pay for the $50
sins with the understanding that she
should repay this sum in small in.
stallments till the account was souare
Became an Expert Sinner.
She lived quiet, hum-drum life for
three months, at the end of which
time she felt so sin-burdened that she
wrote out 1000 sins in three hours and
twenty-five minutes, which, although
the figures look impressive is only a
trifie over ten sins a day, and not at
all bad for the off-season.
She took the sins along with her
and handed a $40 gold piece over with
them, telling the man at the sim
counter to charge the balance of SIS,
which she paid two months later, at
the sects synagogue on Karratti Lane,
next door to Charlie Lambert's chapel
.at-ease, where she had taken up resi-
dence with a number of others of the
elect.
These were all Mrs. Sam Hooks
speculations in the sin market at that
time, but she had other interesting ex-
periences while attached to the Sin
Shutters.
Must Burn Clothes.
After wiping the last 1000 sins off
the slate, she was requested to bring
all her personal effects and fearing
lapparel in order that they might be
burned. a.u.a,...
She allowed them to burn all her
Old torn dresses, but surreptitiously
removed all her good clothes to her
Palama place.
This astute move on her part an
gered the archangeis and they told
her. without any beating about the
bush whatever that if she didn't burn
all her clothes she would die or be
turned into sand, ashes or stone.
Mrs. Sam Hook quite rightly took
offence at such cavalier treatment,
especially as she owned a particu-
larly chic lemon and purple silk holo-
ku which it would have been a sin TO
burn, and she quit the sin storage
plant and went home, first taking a
receipt for the last thousand sins she
had paid for.
Recording Angel Wrong.
"A month later she received a letter
from the elder asking her to pay up
a debt of SIS. She wrote back that
the bookkeeper had made mistake
and that she only owed $50 for the $50
sins, and that anyway she didn't in
tend to pay the bill, and that they
could sue her for the money if they
wanted to-
Mrs. Hook states that while at Kar-
ratti Lane, George Ewaliko was or.
dained priest, and that Willie Eva
like was given the right to grant mar
riage licenses.
In December Willie Ewaliko issued
marriage licenses to Kamaiaupuni
Kualii and Rebecca Kahalepaiwi and
they were married by the Rev. George
Ewaliko in the presence of Mrs. Sam
