Mr., Young has returned from

Mr.. NJ. e. Miller purchased one OF
the 1912 seveu-passenger six-cylin-
der Stevens. Duryea cars, which he is
placing in the rent business on the
oahu Auto Stand This is the third
six.cylinder Stevens which Mr.. Miller
has bought, which not only speaks
well for the Stevens cars, but for Mr.
Miller's judgment Mr.. Miller claims
that the six Stevens is the most eco
nomical seven-passenger car which
has ever been turned out, tires, gaso-
line and oil being about the only eX-
penses, and the Stevens is most eco.
nomical in these respects.
Mr.. S. NJ Phillips, who is one OF

part, and for workmanship and ma
terial they cannot be eXcelled. Every
part of the electrical apparatus is
made of the highest class material
and strong and heavy enough to with
stand any strain whatever. It has
previously been the habit of automo-
bile manufacturers in rhe past to
slight the electrical end to certain
degree and put cheap material ana
poor workmanship in vital spots, but
such is not the case with the Cadil-
lac this year as they have paid the
most strict attention to the electrical
end making it as high class as any
big stationary power plant, and every
bit as reliable Some remarks have
been passed by thoughtless persons
as to the reliability of electricity. Let
us leave it to the common public. How
often does the municipal electric light
plant have enough trouble to shut it
down? In the past year the plant has
furnished current at all times and has
never been laid up for more than five
minutes at any one time. The same
careful attention has been given the
Cadillac electrical system this year
which is expended on the modern
electric Heht plants.
The riding qualities of the Cadillac
are improved this year at least hun
bred per cent as the springs are much
longer and heavier and the wheels
larger. The car is a trihe higher off
of the ground this year, which aids
greatly in keeping dust from the occu.
pants of the car. The electric lights
are perfect wonders. They are
so far ahead of the ordinary presto.
lite lamps that there is no compari.
son whatever between the two. They
supply a very broad and powerful
light, which can be seen a much
greater distance and enables the
driver to see a much farther distance
ahead than ever before. This is espe
cially necessary in Honolulu, where
there are so many hacks and horse
drawn vehicles in the road.

Weekly Letter Of the
Won Hamm-YOung Company

The great talk on the street this
week seems to be centered on the 1912
Cadillacs, with its miraculous starter
and electric headlights. -Four of these
and were Immediately set in motion
before any gasoline was put in the
tank in order to show the. skeptical
connoisseurs the wonderful value of
the electric automatic starter. This
is as much of a revelation to the
automobile as the automobile itself
previously was to the horse and car
riage, and the most wonderful inter-
est has been manifested in these cars
during the past week.
Two of the cars were five-passen-
ger touring cars, and the other two
were of the four-passenger torpedo
type. The touring car is exception
ally handsome this year and leaves the
impression of a strong, powerful and
graceful car. The torpedo is of the
extreme type, with hooded dash and
straight line sides. They are Of the
French grey color and handsomely
striped. The thiTty-siX-inch wheels,
straight lines and graceful curves set
the cars off to wonderful advantage
here. The Cadillac still retains this
year the same reliable motor which it
has previously used, only that there
are a few very important additions in
the way of the electrical line.
No sooner were these cars brought
UP from the steamer before the eager
purhasers We're trying the electric
starter. The machines were delivered
at once to the following parties.

These four cars have been driven
considerably since they arrived and
stopped many hundreds of times in or
der to test the reliability Of the self
starter, and never once has any one
of them failed under any circum-
stances. The electrical appliances on
these machines are of the most sim
pie nature and one would be most
agreeably surprised at the ease with
which these appliances are operated
and the simpleness of their construc-
ton. There is absolutely no complex

THE CHRISTMAS LIST.

Christmas is the time when we
count our friends. Can it be pos
sible that we groan over the Christ
mas list because it is too long?
Surely to have the longest list, no
matter how overwhelming it may
look at first sight, is to be the most
potentially happy person.
The Christmas list is one of the
measures of the size Of the circle we
make in the world. The outer edge
of that circle, perhaps, we only touch
once a year. Only at Christmas do
We Communicate as concerning Civ
ing and receiving" in the apostles
phrase, with many whose lives touch
ours then. Yet in that touch lie
friendliness and thOught-or at least
they ought to-and life is Widened
by just that much
Every one in the list, too, is a
different and individual person. The
foolish giver who fOrgets this evident
fact, and who buys the wholesale
present, without any personal mean
ing to it, does not desire to have a
Christmas list at all. The succession
of names, no two alike. young and
old, rich and poor, is a challenge to
delicate sympathy, to a broad human
ity. So the Christmas list is a list of
lovely Opportunities.-Ha Ba-

No doubt Secretary of State Knox
will hear from the other side before

No doubt he will hesitate before he
sets the Turks and Arabs before the

brought out of the struggle of former
times a reputation of that nature.
The warfare in Tripoli is as fierce as
the Arabs are capable of conducting,

J. II. p. WRITES AN URGENT
APPEAL.

Dear Jeffersonian Women Il want
to insist upon, beg, urge and implore
you, please, to come to Mrs. Lees
aid and help to make the Woman's
Page what it ought to be. You can
do it, | am sure, and if you don't do
it you need not blame Mrs Lee if the
page is failure. Let's insist, how
ever, that Mrs. Lee write something
for the page every week.
There are a lot of you Jeffersonian
women who could write splendid let
ters, and surely most of US could
find time to write once a month. If
twenty Of you would pledge your
selves to write once a month that
would give us five letters a week,
and there ought to be one hundred
OF you who would write that often.
Don't pass indifferently by Mrs. Lees
appeal in last weeks Jeffersonian,
but resolve right now to show your
appreciation of the Page by writing
to it-and then stick to that resolu-
ton.
Some time soon, I'll write and tell
you where I'm att
And now-Id put this in another
letter but I haven't time to write it
now want us-I mean all the JEFF
feTs0nian folks-to make q special
effort to help Mr. Watson in every
way that we can in his noble fight
against Catholicism If you haven't
sent him a subscription for the JEFF
fersonian News Stand do so at once.
Demand that your neswdealer sell
the Jehersonian publications, and
quit patronizing those firms that
have quit advertising with Mr.. Wat
son because Of his exposure Of Cath
oIicism.
Don't you see that Mr.. Watson is
giving his very life-is killing him
self-in his untiring effort to better
the condition Of humanity? Then
don't you think you ought to help
bear little Of the burden?
! mean this for the men and the
women too. It John Henry doesn't
read this page himself, you read it
to him. He will read the page if we
will make it interesting. S. T. P.
