Trusting housewives who have
packed away winter clothing with
compounds calculated to prevent the
encroachment of moths are to be
warned by the department OF agricul-
ture that many of the compounds on
the market are worthless. Through
this means much damage to property,
It Is believed. will be prevented.
The department announced that
10000 copies of judgments against UNI
scrupulous manufacturers are to be
printed for the Information Of the
public. The decisions made public
were obtained in three suits against
New York companies, one of which
was fined $25 and the other two SEN
fences suspended.
Vigorous prosecution of manufacture
ers who misbrand their goods or fall
short in the advertised weight of their
packages is to be undertaken by the
department. While the initial fine is
light subsequent violations of the law
can be visited by penalties of fine
not to exceed $500 or imprisonment
for not to exceed one year, or both.

Most Of the People Of Hawaii Are
Non-Caucasians.
heterogeneous Population Of the ls.
lands Of 100000 includes 10000
Japanese, 10000 Natives and
$4,000 Whites.

Washington.-O a total population
of nearly 100000 in Hawaii in 1910,
nearly $4,000, or $50 per cent. of
those more than ten years old. could
not speak English. the census bureau
reports.
Nearly half are Japanese and more
than half n-Caucasian.
The number of illiterates was APP
proximately 100000 or 26.S per cent.
of the population more than ten years
old. This showed a decrease of 6.3
per cent from 1900.
Racially the population Of the ter
ritory is extremely heterogeneous. In
1910 the pure Caucasian element num-
bered 44,04S, constituting 20 per cent
of the total population. OF this class,
which is itself composed of diverse
racial elements, 22,301, or slightly
more than one-half, we're Portuguese.
1880 we're Porto Rican, 1890 were
Spanish and 1857 were of other eau
casian descent.
The Japanese, numbering 79,675,
constituted Ais per cent, or more
than two-fifths, of the total popula-
ton, while the Japanese, Chinese and
Coreans combined numbered $3.50,
or 500 per cent, of the total popula-
ton Persons of pure native Hawaiian
stock numbered 26,041 and constituted
1876 per cent. of the population.
In the decade, 1900-191O, the number
Of Caucasians in the population in
creased 1929, or SIS per cent, the
percentage Of increase for this race
being practically the same in this as
in the preceding decade. The increase
Of the Japanese in the decade 1900
1910 was 1864, or 30.4 per cent. In
the same period the Chinese decreased
4,O9S, or 15.9 per cent.
The number of pure Hawaiians de-
creased from 34,436 in 1890 to 26,041
in 1910, the decrease in the decade
19001910 being somewhat less than
that in he preceding decade-3,7 5S,
or 1876 per cent, as compared with
4,637, or 1876 per cent
Slightly more than one-half (9S,157
or 51.1 per cent? of the population in
1910 was native, and slightly less than
one-half (93,752, or 4S.9 per cent? for
eign born. The native element en-
braces all persons born in Hawaii. or
in any state or outlying possessions of
the United States. Persons born In
Porto Rico or in the Philippine is
lands, whether of Porto Rican, Filipi-
no, or other racial origin are accord
ingly classified as native. For the

Talking about duplicates, perhaps

food for the markets will be the out
come of a newly organized investiga-
ton and soil survey which the gov
eminent has entered upon on the ma
tional forests of the west. Experts
of the bureau of soils of the depart
ment of agriculture, In cooperation
with the forest service, are working on
study of the agricultural possibili-
ties of all parts of the national for
ests where 1t is probable that farm
crops can be grown with profit, and
II is probable that there will be avail
able for farming purposes within two
years between 100000 and 100000
acres, providing homes for 10000 to
$4,000 families.
z This area of land which will be re.
leased for settlement is larger in size
than the combined area of all of the
land on the governments irrigation
projects of the west. The action in
restoring the land to entry is in accord
with policy entered upon by the
forest service seven years ago, but
until the present year there was no
appropriation which made 1t possible
to carry on the work OF classifying the
agricultural lands systematically and
on a large scale. July 1 an appropria-
ton of 100000 will be available to
carry on the investigation. Without
special facilities, however, the forest
service already has examined and
classified as chiefly valuable for agri-
culture more than 100000 acres, or
land enough for 10000 homes.
