tries may make tariff reduction the excuse of reducing wages. Should in- Vest1gation show that the manufac- turer can easily stand the tariff re- duction. he would be afraid to reduce wages. If, however, under such cir cumstances he went ahead and reduc- ed wages anyhow, a strike in his fac tory would surely end successfully for his employees.
 In discussing the proposed investt- gat1on, Secretary Redheld emphastzed to me the point that the work of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com merce is to be constructive. The in- vestigatlon is not being held out as a threat to manufacturers to cease com blaming about tariff revision, but it Is planned to be of real service to the manufacturers.
 The government experts will not on- 1y study the industry but they will make suggestions to the manufactu- rers how to improve their business ef- hc1ency- The administration will at tempt to show inefficient rnanufactur- CTS how to compete successfully with their more efficient foreign rivals.

 There are now nearly 30,00o cf1i1- dren in the Hawaiian schools, about twice as many as there were at the time the Territorial Government was established. twelve years ago. The Territory last year spent $582,536 for education, and the counties them selves $47, ,799 additional. These dg- ures are exclusive of expenditures for the College of Hawaii, which now oc- cupies a. permanent site in the su- burhs of Honolulu and has graduated it's first class.

 In the past the Repu ublicans have ac- cepted these ex parte statements as facts and have based the protective tariff on them. The Democratic ad% I11inistration proposes to find out the true facts with its own investigators.

Japanese pupils now form the most numerous element in the Hawaiian sch oo1s, and they are Increasing at a more rapid rate than any other race, according to a. statement by Governor Walter F. Frear, received at the Unit ed States Bureau of Education. The Japanese now have a considerable lead in the school population, with over 31 per cent. of the totafS the Portuguese follow with 8 little less than IT per cent; the Hawaiians come next with 14 per cent; Part Hawaiians comprise If per cent; Chi nese, Ii per cent; and all other na- tions or races, 12 per cent.
 Governor Frear gives other interest ing information about Hawaii's schools. He shows how, after the es- tab1isHrment of the Territorial Gov ernment in 1900, the public schools fared worse and worse until 1907, when, with increasing prosperity for the Islands, more ample provision was made for education. Finally, in 1911, a. new method of financing the schools was adopted under which there has been a decided gain in the numbe of teachers, in salaries, and in general efficiency.

The announced intention of Secre- ftary of Commerce Redhe1d. support ed d-by-President Wilson. to use the Bu- reau of Foreign and Domestic Com merce in a wide investigation of the effects of tariff revision upon indus try is one of the most advanced steps ever taken by any administration in Washington.
 While the tariff is being revised downward, and the benefciaries of the favoritism and special privileges Of protection are squirrning under the operation, the administration is showing that it is the true friend of capital legitimately invested in indus try.
 Naturally, during the process of re- ducfng tariff rates, Washington is ringing with standpat shouts that the Democrats are ruining business. Many industries are claiming that if the pending bill is enacted they will eith-- aamxe to close =doyYn- -orzreduce wa

IN GAS
 WASTED ANNUALLY
Oil Experts Report Appalling Loss of Valuable Natur-

Washington, May 13.-OiI experts of the United States Bureau of Mines who have been Investigating the nat ural gas industry have reported to Joseph A. Holmes, the Director, that millions of dollars worth of this most perfect fuel is being wasted each year fn the United States.
 The history of the natural gas fn- dustry is an appalling record of in credible waSte,'' say Ra1py Arnold and Frederick G. C1app, the experts, in their report made public to-day They refer to the waste in Oklahoma, Lo1lt- siana and California as being notor- ious.
 Tn Oklahoma, one hundred million cubic feet Of gas is escaping into the air every twenty-four hours. This has value of s2O,0e0 a, day or S7,3o0,- 900 a year. This waste is also equal to one and one quarter million tons of the best 'piturninous coal.
 The waste in Louisiana is estinna ted at seventy-AVe million cubic feet of gas daily valued at -$15,OoO for, each day, or $5, ,475, 900 for the year. This &vaste of gas is equivalent to nearly one million tons of coal. It is point ed out by experts that this waste is especially aggravating because of the fact that Louisiana does not have any, coal resources within her boundaries,

and that while the state is allowing it's supply of gas to escape in the afr, the citizens are paying for coal that has to be transported some distance
 There were three principal wells in the Caddo field from which the great CT part of the waste occurred says MT. Arnold. 1.-Two of these have been closed by the owners, thus proving that closure is feasible. No attempt has been made to close the other, and when visited bT MT. Clapp in Febru- a.ry, 1912, it consisted of a, crater per haps an acre in extent in the center of which the gas was forcing 8 geyser7 like mass of mud and water to a height of twenty or thirty feet. During much of the time this well is burning. The gas from this well has been go- ing to waste for Three years. TWo-oth- CT wells having am estimated volume of twenty to thirty million cubic feet per day blew out and burned for one or two years. In the Caddo field at least 400, ,000, GOO cubic feet Of gas has at certain times been wasted daily, practically all the waste being prevent able.
 'eIn certain of the Southern Ca1ifor- ufa fields, the gas that accompanies the oil is exceedingly rich in gasoline but up to a. short time ago practlcaIly all this gas. with the exception od some used locally for fuel, went to waste. As 1t has been found that at some wells the value of the recover able gasoline in the gas IS worth as much as twenty per cent. of the oal produced from the same well, It Is not extravagant to estimate the loss or gasoIine-t1ae most desired constituent of the product-in the watered gas Of California att ten per cent. of the val ue of the oil produced in the Southern California fields up to 1912, or a clear waste of about $300o,O00 or S4,O00, 900. The value of the wasted gases carry ine- minor amounts of gasoline, but useful for fuel purposes will bring the total loss up to fully five per cent of the value of the total oil produced in the state, or $S, 900, ,0Oe.''
 MT Arnold quotes I. c. White. State GeoIogdst of West Virginia as author itv for the statement that from one well in Eastern Kentucky there pour ed a, stream of gas for a. period of twenty years without any attempt to shut lit in or utilize it, the amount of which it has been figured was worth at current prices more than S3,00O, 900.

GAS, DYSPEPSIA
AND INDIGESTION
'Pape's Diapepsin" Settles Sour,
Classy Stomachs in Five Min
utes-Time 1t!

You don't want a slow remedy
when your stomach is bad-or an un-
certain one-or harmful one-your
stomach is too valuable; you mustn't
injure it with drastic drugs.
Pape's Diapepsin is noted for its
speed in giving relief; it's harmless
ness; it's certain unfailing action in
regulating sick, sour gassy stomachs.
It's millions of cures in indigestion,
dyspepsia, gastritis and other stom-
ach trouble have made it famous the
world over.
Keep this perfect stomach doctor
in your home-keep it handy-get a
large f1fty-cent case from any drug
store and then if any one should eat
something which doesn't agree with
them: If what they eat lays like lead,
ferments and sours and forms gas;
causes headache, dizziness and nau-
sea; eructations of acid and undi-
gested food-remember as soon as
Pape's Diapepsin comes in contact
with the stomach all such distress
vanishes. Its promptness, certainty
and ease in overcoming the worst
stomach disorders is a revelation to
those who try it.-Advt.
