TIE MOON REEo, The WAN.

Shortly after the war of 81 visi-
tor to Charleston was admiring the
old battery and the harbor. Looking
toward Fort Sumter he commented on
the effects of the war, and while ex-
pressing his admiration Of everything
that was really Charlestonian, his
guide almost tearfully reminded him
that he should have seen it "befo'
the wah" 1t happened to be a bright
moonlit might and the stranger called
attention to the brilliant reflection on
the water, only to be met with the re
mark, "T'aint so bright as it was befo'
the wah, sir; you should have seen
it then" There is no change in the
brilliancy of the moon down at Hale
iva, and a dance there, such as the
guests enjoy every month, is worth
while. There is an auto in the rent
service at the hotel.

THE PINEAPPLE PACK.

According to President James d.
Dole of the Hawaiian Pineapple Com
pany, his concern will have an output
of about $4,000 cases from the pre-
sent years pack, based on present es-
Inmates. This is considerably higher
than any previous year. 1t is under
stood that the company has already
packed some $4,000 cases from the
scattering fruit which ripens during
the winter, but the big pack does no
come on until July and August
The estimated pack of the islands
for this season is between 100000
and 100000 cases against about
$4,000 packed last year. According
to reports based on present paintings
being made, a pack of 100000 cases
may be expected within the next two
years.

EFFORTS
AVERT A DUEL

ROME, February 22.-Count Pecci
and Prince Altieri played cards at the
Chess club last Saturday night and the
former lost heavily. He reproached
the prince, who thereupon slapped him
in the face and refused to apologize.
Count Pecci insisted on duel and sec
onds were appointed by the men who
intended to stand on the field of honr.
Meeting on the field of honor implied
the loss of Count Pecci's post as com
mander of the Palatine guard at the
Vatican. The papaI secretary of
state, Cardinal Merry del Val, sent
for Count Pecci and forbade the fight.
Count Pecci replied that he could not
consent to compromise his honor and
said he would fight even if compelled
to resign his command of the Vatican
forces.
The pope also had a long private
talk with Count Pecci and pleaded with
him to give up the duel. At the pope's
suggestion Cardinal Merry del Val
caused a letter to be published in the
Osservatore Romano, formally forbid
ding the duel
Count Pecci thereupon resigned his
command and insisted upon following
the course he had mapped out. The
pontiff was deeply grieved and again
sumoned the count to the Vatican and
had another long conference with him
in the presence of Cardinal Merry. del
/ Val.
Finally Count Pecci decided to give
up the duel but his seconds have Of
fered to fight Prince Altieri. The lat
ter has not accepted their challenge
It is said that he was willing to apol-
ogize to the count, but held that he
could not refuse TO fight a duel les
he be accused of cowardice.

SEVERN BELITTLEs.

Continued from Page One)
the present time 1922 flies have been
taken in the traps, of which number
100 were marked flies, members of the
liberated specimens of 1000 that had
flown distances varying from a quar-
ter of a mile to $500 feet from the
points where they were liberated.
Those with the hind legs cut were
turned loose in the center of the taro
patch, those lacking a front leg from
the upper end of the patch, a distance
OF half a mile from Judge Coopers
and Cunha's orchards, where some of
the traps were placed, and those from
which a middle leg had been cut from
the Chinese cemetery on the noun
tain, a distance of about a mile from
the traps.
Flies of all three classes have been
found in the traps. On one occasion,
when the wind was toward the noun
tains, the flies went with it, and on
another, when there was a calm in
Manoa, they struck out in all direc-
tons. With the slightest breeze they
oriented themselves with the wind.
The natural deduction from these
results is that the flies do travel,
and, since they are known to breed in
the guava belt in the mountains, it
would seem that if the whole popula-
ton were set to picking up fruit in
| Honolulu it would have no effect upon
the invaders from the high lands.
81 believe it will be impossible &c
rid the islands of the fly" said Pro
fessor SEVERN yesterday, land
think that the only way to hold its
| increase in check and protect the cul
tivated fruit in an orchard is with
the spray. I do not think clean cul
ture alone will do it.
I'm view of these experiments three
questions occur to me which bear up
on the clean culture question. How
does it happen that after we had re
duced the flies in Judge Cooper's
orchard to a minimum in thirty
five days by the use of the
spray, and clean culture has beer
practised there ever since, We
can capture as many flies there now
as we could before we cleaned then
out by spraying?
How can you explain the distribu
ton of the fly throughout the guav5
belt in the mountains if the wind does
not carry them there?
IF the Mediterranean fruit fiiei
travel with the wind from thu
mountains into the city as demon
strated by these experiments what III
innate results can be expected from
the clean culture methods of the pres
ent Mediterranean fruit fly cam
paign?"
Professor SEVERN wishes through
the Star to thank Judge Cooper, r.
Cunha and other residents of Mano
Valley for kindly permitting him t.
string wires on their trees and 9th
erwise aiding the experiments.

RALLYING CRY
IS FREE GARBAGE

Free Garbage" is again to be the
rallying cry of the Central Improve
ment Committee, according to Emil
A. Berndt, president of that organiza-
ton The improvement committee,
which originated and carried through
the first big cleanup day, last June,
at that time made a strenuous fight
for a free garbage collection service,
and the proposition was very gener-
ally supported by public sentiment,
but politics and active opposition on
the part of certain factors was sufIi-
GENTLY strong to defeat the plan for
the time being.
The Civic Federation recently went
on record as favoring a system which
will leave no excuse for mosquito
breeding tin cans and filth accumulate
ing about any private residence, and
most of the district improvement
clubs have, at one time or another,
voted in favor of the free collection
of garbage.
The annual meeting of the Central
Improvement Committee will prob
ably be held the latter part OF next
week--possibly on Thursday evening,
and according to Mr.. Berndt the free
garbage service matter will be
brought before the meeting again at
that time. 1t is understood that there
is movement on foot among the
business men of the community to
actively support the proposition.

OLEOMARGARINE
UNDER SPOTLIGHT

Oleomargarine is the topic attract
ing most attention around the Office
of the food commissioner at present.
The delicacy that, in many restaur-
ants, poses as the simon pure butter,
is causing much speculation. The
commissioner is going after the peo-
pie who sell the stuff without notify
ing the customers that the article is
"oleo" and not butter.
1t appears that there are only two
wholesale "oleo" dealers in the city.
These firms pay license for dealing
in the commodity. There are no re-
tailers of the article.

given this fair trial, as we have. But it is not advisab ble to continue with forlorn hope when there Is a better way.
 The better way is to propagate, in- stead of releasing imported stock. The first article of this series described a simple and. successful method; based | upon the discovery that young game | birds will stay with a hen, and can out enclosures An expert breeder states that owing to the homing in stinct in young birds, dozen young 1 thus reared are worth more in stock ling locality than hundreds of strange adult birds suddenly let loose which generally soon disappear.
 Fundamental in birds is this hom-
 ing instinct. This Is what draws the
 golden plover, having migrated to dis tant Patagonia, back to the spot of
 its birth on the dreary shores of the species, most of which do not migrate I are even more strongly attached to
 the place of their nativity.
 It has been supposed that game birds could not be propagated on 2 large scale. This view is no longer | tenable. The Oregon pheasant now practically a native bird, and a splen-
 did one for sportsmen, as will be | shown in the next article, is reared | by thousands, and has been success fully introduced in at least two dozen shooting, with open seasons. The recent progress with quail breeding is 1 encouraging. A number of game farms in Massachusetts this year have
 raised hundreds of them. On game farm in the middle west they have
 raised yearly from 400 to 700 young quail. a side-sf1ow to pheasants, and they claim they could easily have l raised great many more had they tried. On another pheasant farm they matured 75 young ruffed grouse | in a season.
 1 Propagation is also more economi- cal than importation as a bsiness proposition for States to undertake. As an illustration, consider the work
 this season of the New York State Game Farm. The Oregon pheasant l was the species chosen as best for rigorous climatic conditions. inter for New York being too severe for quail. Breeding stock of the above is in demand at S4 per bird. or even more. Last spring they had a breed
 at the minimum. $3.0Oo. Instead of nberatipg these, they bred them Tn confinement, and, by the free range | system mentioned above. matured Besides this they distributed 10000 eggs to farmers and others, worth 50 cents each in the market. These un- der printed instructions, were set by the consignees under hens, and the young raised as above in the open with very little attention. Accord
 ing to the blanks la returned, which largely truthful, the farmers and sportsmen themselves reared from these eggs to maturity 10000 birds. or 50 per cent. These birds were worth $40, total of $60,000 worth of game-btrds raised from $3,O00 worth. The total cost of running the game-farm for a year | was less than S5,0O0. The breeding stock had been previously raised from small stock at the start. Was not this a better business proposition than turning loose the original breeding stock, with the chances largely in fa- vor of it's utter disappearance?
