COLD FRAMES MORE POPULAR
Great Many Gardeners Have Realized
II Is Profitable to Grow Some
Vegetables Under Sash.

Frames are used much more largely
in all parts of the country than few
years ago, notwithstanding the fact
that greenhouse construction has been
more active. A great many gardeners
have realized that it pays to grow
some vegetables under 3x6-foot sash.
This makes 1t a good business propo
sition and when frames are used on a
large scale too much care cannot be
exercised In the preparation Of the
soil. 1t should be fine, fairly level and
contain liberal amounts of sand and
humus. II to be used in the summer
the cross-bars should be easily re-
moved so that wheelhoes or horse cul
tivators can be used without difficulty,
running from end to end Of the long
frames. The sash should fit snugly on
the side boards so that as little cold
as possible will be admitted under the
sash. Lettuce and radishes are espe
cially desirable for frame culture.

Editor Honolulu Star=Bplletin.
Sir.-There is magazine published
in San Francisco called the Pacific
Unitarian This is a very high class
journal Mr.. Charles A. Murdoch is
its editor.
Mr.. Murdoch has been for SO years
one Of San Francisco's foremost eiti-
zens He has, by his own exertions,
built up large business and made q
fortune. He is member OF the
board of supervisors and has been re-
elected steadily for 20 years. He is
lucid and vigorous writer, and his
subjects include everything for the
betterment of San Francisco and of
California
During the summer just passed he
and his daughter mace trip to our
islands and viewed with discriminat-
ing appreciation our people and our
industries. He has embodied the re-
suits Of his travels in the islands in
the August NUMBER of the Unitarian.
The different nationalities, the
churches, the schools, the street cars
and the people that he met and the
people that he say-his article shows
a wonderful grasp OF what we have
done here It is the more to be COM
mended from the fact that he comes
from California where particular
section of the community seem to be
prejudiced against some of the nation
alities. While here he gave talk be-
fore the Commercial Club. If all Wis
iting editors We're so calm and pre-
scented the truth so clearly as Mr..
Murdoch has, 1t would put us before
the people of the United States in
what we think is the proper light.

WILL SCOUTS BE DRoPPED9

inf the army at war strength at the present
moment might be miseonstrued
There could be no misconstruction, however,
under the plan of dropping the scouts from the
army list, particularly in view of Philippine
independence, and the many designations re-
Gently Of scout officers are at least partially at
tribnted to the superstition that soon they will
not be carried on the army register.
Judging from the enlistment statistics for
the last fiscal year ending June 80, there would
be little difficulty in enlisting the army up to
war strength, inasnuch as the present year
shows an increase instead of decrease of APP
plications, contrary to the general understand
ing of the matter. During the year ending June
&c, 1914, there we're 16S,527 applicants for en-
listment, and Of these 32,828 were accepted.
The total number of enlistments, including re-
enlistments and enlistments at posts, for or
ganizations other than the Philippine Scouts,
was ASH. OF these Il, 507 were Refreshments.
The previous year the total of enlistments and
reenlistments, exclusive of the scouts, was but
24.46S, 1888 being Refreshments. There were
but l23.664 applicants during that year

SHIFTING THE TIME.

Honolulu, T. H., October %. 1914.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bnlletin,
Sir: The clock-shifting movement is
undoubtedly an admirable one from
some peoples standpoint, but person
ally cannot see how any great ad-
yantages could be derived therefrom.
In summing up the question / find
that one hour of daylight before work
ing hours Is to be replaced by one hour
OF daylight after working hours. There
in lies the difference.
Now, most industrial plants com.
mence operations at Z and close at S.
live in Kalihi and in order to get
to work at z rise at $50. 1t is then
just about light enough to dress with
out artificial light Put the clock back
an hour and | mus. switch the lights
on as get up. Now, If anybody viii
tell me that he would rather face the
new day looking into artificial light
than glorious morning sun, | throw
up my hands.
am not blessed or burdened with
wife, but if | had one she would
be worse off than i, as she would
have to get up earlier. Now we pre-
sumo to work until S and call ii 4
Seeing that we have an extra hour OF
daylight we will naturally loiter around
town or hurry home and freshen up In
order to get somewhere before dark.
1t would throw an extra hour on our
hands to be spent some way or other
The saloons, for instance, would gain
one important selling hour. (Yoa see
very few people in the saloons during
the early hours of the day.
Amusements in Honolulu are scarce
, as we all know. An extra hour OF
daylight in the afternoon would not
make it possible for us to run out to
the beach for swim, so there is no
advantage there.
Viewing the question from my own
standpoint find 1t extremely difficuIt
to spend the evening hours now.
Now, then, which shall 1t be? A de.
liciously fresh daylIgat-four in the
morning or semi-daylight, melancholy
and faded hour in the evening?

Newspapers both in English and japanese de-
clare that the censorship of the press failed in
one of the most essential details-to see that
false news is not manufactured at home.
To residents of Hawaii the story is prepos-

cabled news received by local japanese daily,
which created some excitement here early in

incident was the instant accord with which the

KIDDIES, EAST AND WEST !!
BY GEORGE 1. SMITH.

The little children Of the East,
Are weeping soft and low,
For war has come TO break the peace,
And Daddies have to go
To fight some other babys Dad,
And kill him like a beast.
No wonder that their eyes are sad.
The children of the East,
The little children OF the West.
Are busily at play,
Their voices raised In happy jest
Are ringing all the day.
Their Daddies never have 10 fight
At some mad Kings behest;
No wonder that their eyes are bright,
The children of the West.
When eli the Daddies have been killed,
When all the war is through,
When all their hearts blood has been
spilled,
What will their children do?
The little ones, with wailIng cries.
And little hearts that burn,
Will wait and wait. with streaming
eyes.
In vain for Dads return.
And then, when Christmas Day Is here
With all its nirth and joys.
Who's going to bring the Christmas
cheer
To all those girls and boys?
wonder at II all the day,
II puzzles me, because,
With all their Daddies gone away,
Who'll be their Santa Claus?
Who's going TO drive old santos sleieh.

SOME TOURIST SUGGESTIONS.

Bringing the tourists Of the world to Hawaii
Is simply question this does not mean sim
pie question: of salesmanship, says Mr. Zeno
X. Myers, former chairman of the Promotion
Committee upon his return from a trip to the
mainland
If Hawaii would go at the matter of tourist
promotion with the organized, trained intelli-
genee and zeal put into the growing and grind
ing Of cane, for instance, the returns would be
abnndantly renunerative If the same enthus-
iastic scientific attention were given this po-
ientially great element in Hawaii's prosperity
as Hawaii gives to industrial and financial
problems there is not the slightest question
that the dividends would come early and often.
Among Mr.. Meyers suggestions and com
mehts are the following.
There is no question but what the islands
are well ADVERTISED and the result Of our pro-
motion work proven successful; but to my mind
light now Is the time to follow CHS advertising
