'TABU' LIST FOR
CHAUFFEURS WHO
ARE INTOXICATED

The growing feeling due to recent
automobile tragedies has started an
agitation for more drastic laws in the
territory to punish persons found
guilty of driving a machine while in
toxicated.
Suggestions are being made that a
law, similar to statutes in many states
of the mainland, notable California,
be passed making II a felony to drive
a machine while drunk BY an amend
ment to the law, passed by the legis-
lature at its last session, the license
commission may put names of drunk
en- chaffeurs on the ''tabu" list, which
makes it unlawful for saloon Keepers
to serve them with alcoholic drinks.
The board of liquor license COM
missioners will do everything in its
power to see that drunken chauffeurs
are not allowed to drive cars, and to
prevent auto accidents due to the in
toxication Of those at the wheels, .
said Chairman A. L. Castle of the
Oahu license commission this morn
ing.
Under the amendment to the law
passed by the last legislature, the IL
cense commission has the right to put
drunkards on the list of those to
whom liquor must not be served in
saloons. The commission has already
put the names Of four chauffeurs on
this list as result of the recent agi-
tation in connection with auto acci-
dents. So far as is in our jurisdic-
ton, we will help to check the reck-
less driving that is due to intoxica-
ton"
The "tabu" list is posted by the Ii
cense commission in every saloon and
saloon-keepers who do not observe its
provisions are liable to lose their IL
censes or have them suspended.

WHITE PLAGUE
IS STRONG At
SETTLEMENT

The report covering the work ae-
complished by the district nurses of
the Palama Settlement during July
was completed this morning, and
shows. among other statistics, that
the settlement now has under treat
ment thirty patients suffering from
tuberculosis. None Of these patients
are inmates of the Leani Home, and
none are confined to the Pa Ola day
camp, for the reason that there are
no funds available for sending them
to the home, while many of them are
TOO Ill for removal to the camp, which
is alrea1y crowded.
The funds secured by private sub
scription last week to be used by the
settlement to place one of its patients,
a Spanish woman suffering from the
white plague in an advanced stage,
in the home, has at last been put to
a good use. for the woman has been
prevailed upon to go to the home. The
nurses report follows:
Total number OF patients, IT'S; new

garia. The commissary department
broke down completely. The three
days rations the troops carried with
them turned out to be spoiled, wormy,
unfit for consumption. The hungry
soldiers stormed the orchards and ate
unripe fruit. Dysentery and other in
testinal trouble put a large portion
OF the army out of business. Not ex-
pecting this and being unprepared,
the hospital department broke down
completely and was unable to care
for even small portion Of the sick.
This resulted in many unnecessary
deaths. According to reports in the
Roumanian papers, it is believed that
when the whole truth is known-if il
is ever known-Roumania paid for the
territory taken from Bulgaria with
not less than 10000 lives lost on the
field of dishonor-that of incompe-
tence and inefficiency.
AS a mark of recognition, $4,000
Jews who served in the "war" may
be granted citizenship. There are

they must serve in the army and pay
taxes, they are not citizens, and have

the rare phenomenon of second re-
coloration.
A rival explanation of recoloration,
proposed by Amsler, according to
which the phenomenon is due to a
rapid change in the refractive index
of the lower air, owing to the cool
ing after sunset, is not now accepted.
chiefly for two reasons, viz, it fails
to account for the corresponding Sc
quence of the phenomena before sun
rise, and it assumes stronger con-
trasts of the temperature in the ver-
tical than have generally been found
to occur. 1t is not impossible, how
ever, that the process described by
Amsler may sometimes cooperate in

ROmania's Army
Now Going Home
(By Earl Won Biegand.)
(Staff correspondent of the United

(Staff correspondent of the United
Press.)
Bucharest, Sept. 27.-Roumania's s
victorious army in the war" with
Bulgaria is returning and the troops
are being sent to their homes. The
"war"-literally jumping on nation
when she is down-which resulted in
the taking of several hundred square
miles of Bulgarian territory and ad-
ding them to Roumania, was blood
less "war" but not deathless one.
Roumania ran against foe it had
not figured on-cholera and typhoid.
An official report issued gives the
number of dead from cholera as S67
but returning soldiers and officers de-
clare that it exceeds 5000. Many of
the troops are still in quarantine.
There is danger of the cholera spread
ing throughout Roumania In that
event Roumania will pay dearly for
the territory she has taken from Bull
garia when the latter could not help
itself.
Recalling the American-Spanish
war and its confusion on the Ameri-
can side, serious charges are being
made against the war department of
utter incapacity in dealing with the
commissary and sanitary departments
of the army sent to Bulgaria. The
question is asked if the casualties
alone In a war of week in which
not shot was fired, has been 5000
from cholera alone, many hundred
from typhoid and no small number
from dysentery, what would have been
the death toll if Bulgaria had been in

The World of Autumn.

A crimson weed and cobalt seed,
burr and a thistle-pod,
A poppy bloom and the yellow dust
in the plume of the goldenrod:
A beautiful world to live in,
Forget in and forgive in,
To walk in and to work in, to rest
in and to nod.
A chestnut burr and a chinquapin,
haw with its berries black;
A paw-paw sweet, bin of wheat, the
straw in the barnyard stack;
A bountiful world to grow in,
To reap in and to sow in,
With joy in the blood a-bubble from
the lips of youth blown back!
The windfalls under the winesap a
barrel by the cider mill,
A red corn ear in the husk some
where and a maid with her
heart a-thrill;
A fine old world to spark in,
To sing in and to lark in,
To find the oldtime sweethearts the
same old sweethearts still!
A fox in the den by the BERN bank,
a horn on the hills of light,
A minuet in the mansion with the
hunters home in the night;
A glorious world to dance in,
To. live life's old romance in,
To court in and to sport in when the
eyes of the maids burn bright!

The AlpenglOw.

Everybody who has .sojourned
among the Alps, or other snow-cap-
ped mountains, must have admired the
gorgeous coloring of the peaks at sun
rise and sunset. Watching the splen.
did spectacle from day to day, the at
tractlve observer soon discovers that
it is complex phenomenon, varying
greatly with the weather, and some
times exhibiting certain peculiarities
that to the uninitiated are decidedly
mysterious.
In fine weather the following Sc
quence of events may be noted: When
the sun has sunk nearly to the hori-
zon the peaks to the eastward begin
to have a red or golden hue This
ladies' gradually, but in a few minutes,
when the sun is little below the OBJ
servers horizon, the peaks are stil
bathed in direct sunlight, an intense
red glow begins down the slopes and
moves upward to the SUBMITS. This
is identical with the rosy "twilight
arch'' that in clear weather rises from
the eastern horizon as the sun sinks
below the western, and is bordered be-
low by the blue shadow of the earth.
Now, for few minutes, the peaks are
in the earth-shadow; their rocks and
SHOWS assume a livid appearance,
aptly described by the inhabitants Of
the vale Of Chamounix, which the
phenomena in question are well seen
on the SUBMITS of Mont Blanc, as the
/ "teinte cadavereuse"
Presently occurs the remarkable
| phenomenon known as "recoloration"
or "afterglow" In Chamounix it IS
called "the resurrection Of Mont
Blanc" The peaks, from which all
color has faded, again assume a rosy
tint; but this time gradually, and
without any sharp line Of demarcation
between the glow and the shadow be-
meath. The recoloration is by no
means daily occurrence, in fact, it
is rather uncOmmon-and it varies
greatly in appearance and duration.
Sometimes it lasts until an hour af-
ter sunset and it passes away from
below upward. Very rarely a faint
second recoloration is seen. All these
phenomena may be seen in reverse
order, at sunrise, though they are
less common than at sunset They
are known collectively as the "Alpen-
glow"
The recoloration Of the Alps has
been variously explained, but there
seems to be but little doubt that It
is due, at least principally, to the
reflection from the peaks Of the rosy
glow which forms in the western sky
after sunset, known as the purple
light" and which is sometimes in
tense enough to constitute a second
ary luminous source. The diffuse ap-
! pearance Of the recoloration, as CON-
pared with the well defined zone OF
rosy light that rests upon the peaks
while the latter are still in direct
sunlight is explained by the broad ex-
panse Of purple light" as compared
with the small disk Of the sun. Some
times the sky itself ii. e., the first
dust of the upper atmosphere) re-
fleets the purple light" giving
rise to a "second purple light" for
an observer situated at a suitable
angle Of vision. This in turn may
be reflected by the mountains giving

NORTH DAKOTA Ignite
MENACES COAL TRUST

Minneapolis News: A we'll anthem
ticated report from North Dakota
states that at last practical process
has been developed for briquetting
Ignite. The process is the result Of
research work by Dean E. J. Bassett
of the state school of mines, and a
commercial briquetting plant is soon
to be established at Minot.
If this plan justifies the confidence
of its projectors, North Dakota will
have placed all the northwest in its
debt. There is unlimited Ignite in
that state, but because it rapidly de-
terioriates upon exposure to the air
and flies into small fakes under heat,
it has been impossible to ship it far
or burn it in ordinary CRATES. Never
theless Ignite is rich in heat units
and is easily combustible, so that if
it can be fixed it becomes valuable
fuel.
Briquetted Ignite means cheap fuel
for Minneapolis, which at present is
almost wholly dependent upon the in
genious and persistent extortioners of
the coal trust type for its fuel. More
than that, it means clean fuel, some
thing that this city has sadly missed
since the decline Of saw milling cut off
the supply of mill refuse for fuel in
steam plants.
