HONOLULU. IS BIG
PURCHASER Of
CROSS STAMPS

Under the direction of Mrs. Francis
NJ, Swanzy more than 100000 Red
Cross seals were distributed in the
different districts in Honolulu today
and yesterday. Beginning in the
morning and continuing until late in
the day, Mrs Swanzy gave her entire
time to this work, seeing to it that
every district captain was allotted the
number of seals they viii be expected
to aid In selling next week.
Secretary James A. Rath of the
Anti Tuberculosis League announced
this morning that Honolulu will re-
spond we'll to the Red Cross call this
year. From the manner in which the
women of the city have. mapped out
their campaign he anticipates that the
FIRST 100000 seals will be sold early
next week. The active selling work
will start Monday morning and is
scheduled to continue during the week.
Every house in every section of the
city will be canvassed and no one will
be denied the opportunity of contrib
uting a share to the work of combat
ing tuberculosis in this territory.
With the exception of 10 per cent?
the money raised from the sale OF
these Christmas seals will be kept in
the territory to be used in anti-tuber-
cular work. The 10 per cent sent to
the National Red Cross Society goes
toward paying for he cost of the
seals, advertising literature, mail and
express charges. In addition the ma
tional society redeems all unsold
stamps. 1t is figured that they make
about per cent profit on the transac-
ton, this money being held for use
wherever the work of the society is
needed.

DIR. HLINGWORTH
FINDS ANTS ARE
HLf-CHECk HERE
COLLEGE of Hawaii Expert Esti-
mates rs per Cent Of Pests
Are Destroyed

Investigations ct the College OF
Hawaii indicate that the little brown
ant (Pheidole megacephala) is the
principal factor holding house flies In
check under our tropical conditions.
1t is estimated that fully Is per cent
of the dies are destroyed. Attention
was first called to the value OF this
ant as q destroyer Of house flies by
DR.. j. r. Iilingworth, professor Of en-
tomology at the college. while carrying
on investigations in the Fiji islands
during the last summer.
The remarkable scarcity of house
flies in Fiji Indicated that something
was effectively destroying them. With
all the open refuse pits which prevail
there, one would naturally conclude
that these flies would multiply in
Ehordes. In fact. IL nothing held them
in check in country with the climat-
&c conditions of Fiji. they would be-
come so abundant that humans would
not be able to exist Recognizing this
fact, Dr. Illingworth suspected that
some parasite was preying upon them
and began a series Of experiments to
discover 1t. The refuse pits were
found to be very free from maggots,
much to his surprise, and later he
discovered that this was due to the
fact that the little brown ants got
most Of the eggs and larvae of the
flies almost as soon as they we're pro-
.duced The eggs and newly Matched
maggots of house-fly are very small,
but by very close observation DR.. IL
lingvorth was able to see the ants
carrying them off In myriads. He al
so discovered that the ants even at
tack and destroy the full-grpwn mag
COTS whenever they appear on the
surface of the manure.
In one experiment 200 newly.
emerged, adult flies were entirely de
stroyed by the ants, which accidentally
found their way into the breeding
cage. The attack was discovered
only after most of the flies had been
dismembered. A few we're still in the
tolls with six or eight ants holding
them by wings and legs while others
proceeded to cut them to pieces. AL
of the fragments were finally carried
away to the nests Of the ants.
While this species Of ant is not SO
abundant here as in Fiji. it has graft
fled the investigator to know that
they have the same fondness for an
insect diet. Honse-flies being one Of
mans worst enemies, coming from
filth onto his food and spreading III
sorts of contagion. people in tropical
countries are particularly fortunate IN
having such q check upon their
spread Though the little brown ants
are often q nuisance by getting into
things which are unprotected, one
must give them credit for the good
work that they do for US.
As Is well known here, ants can
easily be kept out Of cnpboards, ETC.,
by surrounding the legs with tapes
wet in an alcoholic solution of coTo-
sive sublimate. This treatment re-
mains effective for long time unless
the tapes become wet or busted over.

PROMINENT CHINESE
A UNIT IN FAVOR OF
A MILITIA COMPANY
CONTINUED from page one)

ing. and keen interest is shown in the
proposed organization
The Chinese consul and q number
of influential Chinese residents of Ho-
nolulu are heartily in favor Of Chinese
representation in the national guard
and interest in the movement is grow
ing every minute.
Yesterday Col. J. w. Jones, adiutant
general Of the national guard Of Ha-
wall. accompanied by Laurence Red
|ington. who Is to command the new
company, called on a number Of the
Chinese merchants Of Honolulu, and
received enthusiastic assurances Of
support In the formation of the new
company. While minimum strength
|of So enlisted men Is required, It now
seems likely that the Chinese COM
|pany will be mustered into the service
with at least 100 men. The maximum
strength for companies in the Hawaii
an islands is $50, and 1t would not be
surprising IL the full number answered
to their names at the initial roll call
Il believe that this is great
chance for the Chinese young men Of
Honolulu to get together for military
training and social privileges In an or
ganization that will be q credit to
their nationality said Consul Chen
Ching Ho yesterday afternoon. Il will
give my hearty support to this com
pany and will publicly advise the
young Chinese-Americans to enlist"
Ghu Gem, Of the Kwong Sam Kee
Co.. proved another enthusiast on the
proposition OF Chinese representation
In the citizen-soldiery.
1t is q great chance for the young
men of our nation" said he. The
Chinese Of Honolulu will be behind
this movement and viii help in every
way to make the Chinese company the
best In the regiment With the new
armory and the importance of the
soldiers on Oahu. this Is one Of the
fine things the Chinese have had the
chance to do"
Wong Leong, president of the local
Chinese society, proved another en-.
thusiast. FRI
Il will call meeting of the society
in a few days., said Wong Leong. 81
think that there will be no trouble In
getting many more young men than
are needed to form this company. II
will be a great thing for the young
men of Honolulu, and one that the
Chinese editors, merchants and bust.
ness men viii do well to help in every
way they can" )
Ho Fon, of Bishop & Co., Kim Tong
Ho, OF the First National Bank, and
many other Chinese residents of Ho.
nolu1u are intensely interested in the
formation of this company. The real
Chinese spirit is behind the move.
ment, and the new organization will
enter the national guard with the
backing of some of the most influen.
tial men of the community. and is as
sured of success from the start.

corning which MeDufle,s name has
been mentioned to me-"
1t is. believed that the statement of
Breckons, If ne appears, will be the
deciding feature of the hearing; and
his testimony, II given, will probably
be confined to the opium end of the
charges. II Breckons arrives here
before Monday and takes up the mat
ter with Smith, the result of this con-
ference will probably decide whether
or not the charges will be dropped.
Gives Facts About BreckOns'
Appearance
!. Deputy Smith denied this morning
that Breckons is coming from
Hilo to assist in the prosecution
of the two police officers for alleged
irregularity and dishonesty.
Mr.. Breckons is coming to Honolu-
lu anyway on Saturday. said Deputy
Smith this morning, land as one OF
the charges against Captain McDuffie
relates to a matter with which Brock
ons is said to be familiar, I shall en-
deavor to get at the bottom q this
charge by talk with Breckons. The
matter is that of alleged opium SNUG
Cling in which McDuffie Is said to
have been involved"
The charge referred to by Deputy
Smith grew out Of the testimony cred
tied to Capt. Frederick Miller before
the federal grand jury number of
months ago. Captain Miller's testi-
mony, according to the information in
Smiths possession is that he had
brought opium from Tanning island
and had turned it over to McDuffie.
Breckons was handling the opium
cases at that time as u. s. district at
torney and is believed to have gone
pretty thoroughly into the matter. 1t
is in the hope of finding whether the
charge concerning opium has any
foundation and what, If any. action can
be. brought against McDuffie that Dep
uty Smith will hold conference with
Breckons when the keen-nosed prose-
Hcutor of the Hawaii probe commission
arrives Saturday.
The hearing before the commission
was postpone yesterday afternoon fol-
lowing conference between Deputy
Smith and McDuffie's counsel, Attor-
ney E. C. Peters, and another confer
ence between Smith and Chairman Al.
j. Wirtz of the commission. Deputy
Smith asked a postponement of the
hearing until he can secure further in
formation on the charges against Nc
Duffie. As important results are ex-
pected from the talk with Breckons,
the postponement was agreed to and
MeDuffie will not get formal hear
ing until $3.50 o'clock next Monday
morning,
