Give
Our Bananas
A Black Eye

That the Mediterranean fruitfly will
breed in bananas and that the pest
can consequently be transmitted TO the
mainland through shipments of this
fruit from the Hawaiian Islands, Is
the declaration of William J. Hartung,
who will this afternoon receive his
degree of bachelor of Science from the
College of Hawaii. Hartung AYERS he
has reached the conclusion through
exhaustive experiments, and that he
will read report embodying the facts
relating to his discovery before the
convention of California fruitgrowers
in that state next month.
The young scientist, whose work
may have a far-reaching effect on the
banana industry in the Hawaiian Is
lands, is an assistant of Prof. II. H..
SEVERN of the College of Hawaii. Prof.
SEVERN at one time began an investi-
cation along the same lines but was
forbidden by President Gilmore to con-
tinue it on the ground that no good
purpose could be served by further

who is not doing we'll and making

"The main trouble there at the

they need outside capital There is a
fine opportunity for some of the Ha-
waiian capitalists to secure good in

MAN FROM THERE SAYS MANILA

That there are good openings for

of the Guam Revere Rubber Company,
who is through passenger in the T.

The Manila of today" said Mr..
Parrish, 'fs a far different city from
the Manila of two years ago. Instead
of being a burden on the United States
the Philippines are paying their own

typhoid are only such as might occur
in any city.
