Honolulu Dray Horses
Must Go, Says Wells

Honolulu is going to be one of
the best auto truck cities in the
world" declares George S. Wells,
manager of the Royal Hawaiian Gar
age. Business men are a little slow
to take up a new thing, but the start
has been made and it won't be long
before 'everybody1l be doing it
that is. getting trucks.
Here we are out in the middle of
the Pacific. where the expense Of
keeping up teams is a good deal
higher than anywhere on the main
land. Horses and mules cost more
in the first place, and then feed,
which has to be all brought over,
necessarily costs considerably more,
But the point that is going to count
most in getting trucks in here is our
peculiar. traffic conditions. A big
bulk of the freight to be handled is
co-incident with the arrival of the
steamers. Then everybody is busy,
especially the draying companies,
getting cargo moved from the
wharves. Everybody wants his freight
at once, so that horses and men are
alike often overworked for the time
being, only to have little or nothing
to do a day or two later.
Now there is no longer any room
for argument on the matter of rela-
tive economy between auto trucks
and horses, even in the mainland
cities where the maintenance of
teams is cheapest Here the advan-
tage of trucks is relatively much
greater, not only because horses are
more expensive, but because an auto
truck doesn't eat it's head off when
business is a little slack When 1t

WAYSlDE
GLIMPSES

The extent to which the big auto
mobile companies have perfected the
steels used in the modern, popular
priced cars is illustrated by a unique
experiment made by a foreman in a
garage'at Mitchell, S. D.
This man found himself in need Of
a simple milling machine to cut cold
rolled shafting, and for general use
about the garage. Instead Of order
ing tool-steel milling wheel, the
man took a sliding gear of high
grade car and laboriously filed its
teeth into saw shape.
To the amszement of a coterie of
skpetics the converted, gear started
milling as soon as it was hooked to
the garage power device. 1t cuts any
steel that can be milled and shows
in striking way the high quality of
material which go into the working
parts of the first class modern auto
mobile. 7%g
1t is fact which has been proved
to the satisfaction of all who have
given it a fair trial that the double
distributor magnetic gives increased
power to the automobile which is
equipped with it, While a single
spark calls for an approximate ad-
vance of 80 degrees at the maximum
power developed, the actual advance
is reduced IS degrees, but, owing to
the twin sparks obtained and firing
simultaneously, the compressed charge
is ignited quicker and from both sides
of the cylinder, thus forming the
charge quicker and also tending to ex-

Letter Of The
Won Hamm-YOuDg Company

The steamer Lurline brought for
the Won Hamm-Young Company eight
automobiles. Among these were two
of the splendid six cylinder Packard
cars which have been the admiration
of automobile enthusiasts for the past
nine months.
One of these, a fine seven-passenger
touring car was ordered by Mr.. A. S.
Wilcox. This machine was specially
painted in a beautiful dark red, with
darker red running gear and black
hood and tenders, which brings out
the beautiful red color of the car to
perfection.
Mr.. Wilcox has owned several Pack
ards in the past, and has now added
one of the wonderful "Sixes" to his
private garage on Kauai
Another six cylinder Packard, equip
ped with runabout body, was de-
livered to Mr.. A. w. Carter. Mr..
Carter wanted the maximum of power
with minimum weight, in order to get
the best results ebtainable from a
car to negotiate the long steep grades
of Hawaii, from sea level to the Par
ker ranch which is situated at an ele-
walton of 1000 feet.
Mr.. Carter is very much pleased
with his car, as it combines an ex-
tremely silent and smooth running
motor with the most powerful and yet
the easiest riding car he has ever
driven, and Mr. Carter has owned a
great many high class and expensive
cars.
1t is no wonder that the Packard
Six has proven such favorite, for
aside from the wonderful showing
made By it, there is back of every

Packard Six the most willing, the
most expert and the most comprehen.
sive service in the world.
To meet the new requirements of
the $4,000 Packard cars on the road
more than 100000 worth of extra
parts are carried in stock at the
Packard factory and in dealers es-
Adjustments. The factory can supply
any part for any Packard car ever
sold. Complete shops, separate from
the main factory make extra parts for
all models.
Every dealer co-operates closely
with the Packard Motor Car Company
in providing repair shops and free
technical attention for Packard cars.
The work in these repair shops is
carried on by experts trained on the
mainland.
In addition to these two Packards,
the Won Hamm- Young Co. received on
the Lurline three of the well known
Cadillacs, two oyerlands and one Odds
mobile,
The oldsmobile which is six cylin-
der, seven passenger touring car had
been ordered by Mr.. A. Rodrigues, who
has put this beautiful car on the rent
ttand in front of the Young Hotel.
This type Oldsmobile called the
Limited" is one of the most powerful
cars in Honolulu, having cylinders OF
five inch bore and six inch stroke.
1t has the latest type of Bosch dual
high tension, multi point magnetic and
storage battery, which is acknowl-
edged to be the lest word in ignition.
The car is equipped with wheels
forty-three inches high, which makes
it the easiest riding car in town, as the
large wheels will go over ruts. bridg-

The Largest Garages
And Autos They Handle

The big garages of Honolulu are the
pride Of the city and Islands. In size,
capacity and equipment they compare
favorably with like establishments of
even larger towns on the mainland.
Nearly all of the best cars of the
United States are carried by one or
the other of them; and the supply of
cars on hand is usually up to the
large and ever increasing demand.
The new list of autos, appearing
elsewhere in this section of today's
paper, indicates that Number 925 is
in commission, indicating that the 1000
mark will be reached in very short
time. At $1,000 apiece, which is prob
ably low estimate, the figures sug-
gest that Honolulu has a million dol
lars invested in road machines. This
is surely not bad for a town away
from the centers OF auto building
activities.
The Associated Garage.

Frank Howes is manager, extends

corps Of assistants, men who thorough

Isles is more extended than in the
United States. and it is now at its
height with the preparations for the
International matches under the Rug
by code and the race for honors in the
leagues playing the association game
occupying the interest of the followers
OF the sport. The decisive defeat of
Cambridge by oxford in the annual
Varsity Rugby contest came in the
nature of a surprise, and critics are
inclined to attribute the good showing
OF the dark blues to the number of
Rhodes scholars in the lineup. In the
early part of the season. Herbert Stolz,
a Rhodes scholar from Stanford Uni
versity, was a regular player on the
Oxford fifteen, but an injured ankle
put him out of the game before the
Varsity match.
Cambridge plans for instituting
system of recruiting students from
the colonies and the United States on
the Rhodes basis, and, it is said, that
the declining athletic prestige of their
alma mater is no small factor in their
reasons for advocating the proposal.
II may be recalled in this connection
that the deciding event which gave

Cambridge over Yale and Harvard
was won by an American Rhodes

MARK GRAVE OF HEROINE
CIubwomen to Preserve Memory Of
Woman Who Gave Life to Help
Smallpox Sufferers.

Clubwomen, assisted by the doc
tors of North Billerica, Mass, are TAX
ing steps to preserve the memory of
Sarah Hodgeman, who gave her life
more than a century ago in her efforts
to help neighbors who were suffering
from smallpox 1t happened during
the smallpox epidemic in 1911. On
learning that a family OF four persons
with two guests were i'll with the dis
ease, and had no one to help them,
Miss Hodgeman, against the protest of
her family and friends, entered the
infected house and did all in her pow
er for its inmates.
Within two weeks it was noticed
that the customary smoke did not curl
from the chimney. Some of the towns
folk finally mustered up courage to in
vestigate. 1t was found that the en-
tire household, Sarah Hodgeman in
cluded, had died of the disease. It is
now proposed to erect a monument in
the place of the old gray headstone
which marks her grave.
