POT 5
And PANS FOR
PLEASURE

Two score offieers and men in the
big Kosmos line freighter Ramses,
now at the port where 5000 tons of
cargo are being discharged have had
occasion today to mourn the loss of
the chef, who, throughout the long 40,
day voyage from Hamburg by the way
of South American ports, lis said TO
have faithfully attended to the gas
stIonomic requirements of an otherwise
contented ships company.
The gay delights of Honolulu's
Great White Way, and the allurements
OF Waikiki's famous bathing beach is
believed to have proved too: strong a
combination for the culinary artist to
withstand.
The usual spread of the rare deii-
cacies of the season was apparent on
the groaning board in the saloon and
the several mess rooms in the steam
ship yesterday morning. 1t was as
dusk mantled the harbor last evening
that the absence of the cook was pain
fully brought to the attention of the
now unfortunate dwellers aboard the
Ramses.
This morning fairly good descrip-
ton of the cook was given the police
with the hope that in securing the
waterfront and "combings the beach,
the missing and much needed cog in
the Ranses' domestic machinery
might be brought into action again.
This is recorded as the first deser-
ton from this fine new vessel since
arrival at Honolulu some days ago.
The Ramses is expected to remain
here for the better part of fortnight
pending the discharge of an unusually
heavy shipment of supplies and mer-
chandise.

Big TRACT Will
BE OPENED
TOMORROW

More than $500 acres of public lands
will be thrown open for settlement by
homesteaders tomorrow morning in a
general drawing which will take place
at Land Commissioner Joshua Tuck.
er's Office at the capitol building The
acreage to be opened comprises three
big tracts, the Puukapu, ON Hawaii,
containing about 2400 acres; the
Kappa tract ON Maui. containing about
1000 acres, and the Kalaheo tract, also
on Kauai, containing. more than 1880
acres.
The land on the Big Island is near
Waimea, the headquarters of the Par
ker ranch, and is said To be desirable
for general. diversified farming. Most
Of the Kauai homesteads are in the
center of tract declared to possess
excellent qualities as pineapple grow
ing land. and is expected TO prove in
much demand for this purpose
1t will be remembered that the ter
ritory has made special preparation
for the people who take the Kauai
-homesteads, to encourage them in the
production of pines. Several hundred
acres were leased few months ago
to hui, headed by the Jacobs Broth.
ers, of the California Canning Com
pany, and by Albert Horner. James
Coke and number of other local men,
on condition that they arect a pine
apple cannery on the land with. a
capacity to handle all the pine crops
that may be later grown by the home
steaders on these lands. While work
has not yet begun on the cannery it is
said the plans are completed and that
the cannery will be ready to receive
the first crop. The plans are to in
crease the size of the mill and enlarge
its capacity as the pine production of
the district warrants it.

turn from the mainland for several
weeks or months and certainly will
not be here when the commission is
supposed to come into being.
Because of his long experience as
engineer and his knowledge of the
conditions of so many of the utility
corporations in the islands, Williams
is regarded as an almost Invaluable
member, nearly impossible to replace.
In fact, the other members hesitate
to launch into the undertaking with
cut the guidance of his practical
knowledge and advice.
There is a possibility; however, that
the board may organize but undertake
no investigation of specific cases I'M
til his arrival. As a new body, TAX
ing up line of investigation and work
entirely new to the islands, the com
mission viii have a great mass of de
tailed matters to arrange, gathering
data and preparing its library, before
tie actual investigation of individual
cases can be taken up. Because its
business is entirely foreign to any line
of endeavor undertaken heretofore it
must necessarily proceed slowly and
with care.
Some people may expect us to or
ganize the first day and be ready i'm
mediately to take up their complaints
against certain corporations whom
they may feel have abused their pow
ers, but that will be impossible" said
Mott-Smitn. I'VE must first prepare
to make a general and exhaustive
study CT the affairs of every such
case, because our first decision in
any case may be precedent on which
hundreds of other claims against the
same company would have to be de-

HOME NEEDS
ARE POINTED OUT


The first great need for comfort in
living is better construction in the
houses, and this not from the stand.
point of architect and builder, but &C,
cording to the needs of those who
must keep the house in a liyable con.
Gition.
1t has been said that the last cen
tury discovered dirt. Even the TWEEN
tieth century seems unlikely to dis.
card all dust catchers and holders
The way in which houses and furnish
ishings are arranged and decorated
probably requires double the time 70
keep them clean that would be neces.
sary if more care We're given to dc.
tails in construction. The household
routes often might be shortened be-
tween dining room and kitchen,
kitchen and pantry, etc., etc.
A house should be made Of durable
material, but above all should be con-
sidered the comfort, convenience and
efficiency of those who are to live in
it. Simple living does not mean a
d
fitted bathroom may be secured at the
cost of the outside ornamentation
which is put on many moderate-priced
houses.
Few can choose the exact location
of a house, but must accept what Is
available;' perhaps fewer yet can build
or even finish a house to suit the
needs of the individual family. But
those who own the houses in which
they live have an opportunity for real
home making which is impossible in a
hired house.
Many a detached house might be
made more livable by adding piazza
or more doors and windows; while in.
terror passageways. slides and dumb
walters would save many steps in a
year The kitchen, especially, has
been neglected by the builders. The
position of stove, sink and shelves is
rarely convenient, and the height OF
tables, tubs, and sink Is not adjusted
to the one who is to use them most.
Though We may not be fortunate
enough to build or rebuild our house,
most of US have something to say
about the choice of furniture. There
is need of crusade against furniture
put together to sell but not to last.
Excessive carving or ornamentation
where it will show does not compen-
safe for poor material underneath.
Usefulness should be combined with
true beauty, but that is not found in
floral display in the casting of the
cook stove, or in upholstered furni-
ture with heavy fringe. Whenever a
new piece of furniture is chosen let it
be worth handing on to another gen.
Grafton
The question of food supply, the
most insistent of all, often demands
too large share of the housewives
time. If she knew more of food val
ues. probably she would spend less
time in her kitchen in preparing at.
tTactive delicacies for those she feeds.
The home should be an example OF
true cooperative living. Better train
ed housekeepers are even more essen
tial than better houses. The young
woman who has not yet had oppor-
tunity to share in the household duties
in her childhood, or has not been a
pupil at a school of domestic science,
is handicapped. but may overcome by
study and experiment

PROVES A Mint

The declaration OF a dividend and
bonus of log per cent on the capital
stock of the China Mutual Steam Ma
yigation Company, Messrs. Butterfeld
& Swire, gives some indication of the
profits being reaped by ship owners
during the present freight BOOM
Although no dividend is declared
it can not be doubted, says the Ship
ping and Engineering Gazette, that
the profits of the Blue Funnel Line,
Messrs. Holt & Company, who man
age the China Mutual under the same
house flag, are equally large.
The China Mutual, which is capt.
talized at 100000 pesos, paid divi-
dend of Is per cent in 1910. and 80
per cent for 1911, which together with
the LOG per cent covering the year
1912, makes a total distribution of
profits for the last three years amount
ing to 1874 per cent, or nearly 10000
600 pesos.

Despite the fact that the Shanghai
