HAWAII SAVED
FROM PESTS

UnOer the heading, Exporting crop
Destroyers- Expectation a, Wen as
Importation of Pests Should BE Prohib-
tied" the San Francisco Chronicle
Of June II has the editorial printed
below. An amusing story about a
scene created in the Palace Hotel
when the chipmunks escaped from
their owner Mrs. Beckley, came in
last previous mail and was reprinted
in the Star. The Chronicle says:
THE admission of a guest at local
hotel that she intended to introduce
four California chipmunks into herr
Hawaiian home is not likely to in
crease the warmth of her welcome
upon her return.
THE Hawaiian Territorial Govern
ment has one of the most effectivel
quarantine bureaus in the world tol
prevent the admittance of pests, eth
err mammalian or chronological. The
crops of Hawaii are largely artificial,
requiring intensive cultivation and ex-
cessive safeguards. Fruits and vege-
tables have been nearly ruined by the
importation of Japanese pests, and
sugar cane has been seriously threat
ened by others that have been finally
conquered at the cost of thousands of
dollars.
Hawaii has never forgotten that
mosquitoes were originally imported
in the fresh-water butts of the whalers,
and nothing of a foreign nature gets
into that Territory without the most
painstalling scrutiny. 1t is a small
bug, indeed, that can squeeze through.
"In view of the experience of Aus
tralia with rabbits, and California with
ground squirrels and chipmunks, it isl
not likely that Hawaii would welcome
the latter or any person who thought
lessly attempted to introduce them.
TT is not at all unreasonable to
assume, that, if those four chipmunks
had entered Hawaii, they might have
cost the Territory a round million
apiece. But the chipmunks, perhaps. |.
having some provision of their Hawai-
ian reception, proceeded to gnaw their
way through the cage, and three es-
caped, while one was killed. (
1T is the duty of every State and
Territory to prohibit the expectation,
as well as the importation of such
pests. Provisions for preventing i'm
ports will be prompted by self-interest,
but a great deal more could be ac-
complished by harmony of action REL
gar0ing exports. California would be
the first to enforce a quarantine
against a Hawaiian pest, and it doubt
less should be, but if it would assume
the right to prohibit the expectation of
California pests to Hawaii it might
reasonably expect assistance in render
ing the prohibitions of mutual bene-
fit"

REDUCE BANK NOTE SIZE.
Secretary of Treasury viii RevoIu-
tionize the Design.

SECRETARY OI treasury WIZ nCNOiu-
tionize the Design.
Washington, Aug 3.-The size OF
all United States currency and ma
tional bank notes probably will be
reduced by one-third and their de.
signs revolutionized by Secretary of
the Treasury MacVeagh for the sake
of economy to the government, con.
venience to the public and safety
against counterfeiting. This decision
practically has been reached by the
secretary.
1t is proposed to make the dimen-
sions by 1-2 inches. The paper
money now in circulation measures
1928 and 3.04 inches. The designs
of all paper money-United States
notes and certificates and national
bank notes-would be systSmstized
and made uniform for every denomin.
alton.
This move is expected to save the
government about 100000 annually
and the national banks. which pay
for the plates for their notes and
part of the cost of redemption, about
5000, 900. The economies would be
effected in steel for the plates. in pa
per and in labor.
For many months the only deter
rent to the step by executive au-
thority has been the belief that il
would be necessary for Congress to
appropriate about $1,000,000 10 re-
place the national bank note plates
which have been paid for by the ma
tional banks This problem has been
htre MI 70 fhn
design of all national bank notes uni
form, requiring only one engraved
plate for each denomination, and to
place on the notes by surface printing
the name, location and charter Ium-
Der of the bank This would do away
with separate plates for each bank.
Eighteen m onths would be required
TO effect the change by the prepare
ton of the designs, engraving of the
plates, and printing that for time
at least there would be two sizes of
currency in circulation it has been
suggested that the government print
in advance a sufficient quantity Of
the notes of the new size TO be ex-
changed at the sub-treasuries and ma
tional banks on a fixed date The
NhduSt NOhiu NC dtCihl-
plished within a few days, treasury
officials believe. There are now 10
different designs Of currency. The
change would reduce these to nine.
Each denomination would be charac-
teriZed by a distinctly American
historical portrait engraved in the
center of the note. In time the por-
trait would be distinguished figure
of each denomination and would be
a safeguard against counterfeitihg,
especially the prevalent practice D;
taking note to a higher denomin-
alton.
The department is considering us
ing portraits as follows:
81 note, Washington; 50. Jefferson;
SIS, Lincoln; $40, Cleveland; $40,
Jackson; $50, Grant; 500, Franklin;
$500, Chase; $1,000, Hamilton.

UNCLE SAM SELLS CRUISER.
Venezuela Buys lsla de Cuba, captur-

Washington, Aug. 3.-The Navy
Department has sold to the Govern

250. Negotiations for the sale were
conducted by Minister Roias of the
Venezuelan Legation in this city.
The Isla de Cuba was built at Arm

She proved to be one of the few ma.

which the United States was able to
make some use and served as an aux

VACATION SUGGESTIONS
BY Ruth Cameron.

The season of vacation and travel Is
close at hand In a week or two the an
nuaI hunt for plea sure will be fairly ufl-
der way. May /, then, offer few hetero-
geneous suggestions to the vacationer
and the traveller?
First, don't draw advance drafts on
your vacation account-in other words
don't get exceptionally tired because you
are about to have q rest. There is moth
ing more dangerous to the success Of any
trip than that.
Don't expect too much. Then all your
surprises will be pleasant ones.
If you want to look as well when you
arrive at the way-station or at your
journeys end as when you start out
wear very plain things A tailored suit
and a silk shirt waist Is the ideal travel
ing rig for a woman. 1t may be per-
sonal preference but it seems to me that
woman who is travelling never looks
quite so well as in a dark blue suit with
blue silk blouse and white ruche or
turnover collar.
Be thinking more Of the people you are
going to meet than Of the person they are
to meet. and you will be very likely to
please.
Be ready to make friends-for. after all.
these new personalities are as valuable
we see or bring home-but not too ready.
Especially be not too ready with your
condolences Remember that the gourd
growth Of summer friendship is apt to
wither as rapidly as it grew.
Whatever else you forget, be sure to
take an ample jar OF some good cold
cream. In your travels, you are apt to
find hard water that you won't want to
use on your face, and anyhow no water
washing will remove ali the stain OF
travel II you don't believe this. after a
day in the train wash your face thor
oughly with water, and then rub your
supposedly clean face and neck with
cream, removing the cream with flannel
rag. and see IL the results do not astonish
you.
II you are to make many stops and arc
one Of those people who leave some me-
mento at each place. you may care to
try a plan which q friend CT mine found
efficacious. She made typewriter list
of all the articles which should be in her
bag and always glanced over 1t after
packing.
Do not attempt to economic by carry
ing heavy hand-luggage yourself. Ten
minutes trudging with a heavy bag may
put you in a condition that will mar
whole days pleasure. Frequent overtax-
So don't grudge the dimes spent in this
way. They are one Of the best invest
ments you can make.
And last, but, Of course, not least, be
sure to take vacation heart with you.
for IL you do not you will have no real
vacation. Remember the Concord Sc ge's
warning Though we travel the world
over to find the beautiful, we must carry
1t with us or we find 1t not"

Bathing suits are of two sorts this year:
the Unfortunately gay and dashing little
suit and the conspicuously modest and
prim one-and of the two. the latter bath
ing suit by its severity attracts the most
attention. In the first category come the
shot taffeta suits which may be seen
when the sun glistens on the changeable
weave-a quarter Of a mile away, down
the beach; the satin suits trimmed with
plaided and striped silk and the new mo-
hair suits trimmed with cloth or toweling
