squeeze out the juice, which flows
out readily. About five-sixths of the
pulp will squeeze out as juice. About
thirteen gallons of the Juice will
make one gallon Of syrup. This
amount of juice can ordinarily be Sc
cured from ten watermelons weigh
ing from 22 to 25 pounds each.
The juice is then boiled down into
a syrup in an ordinary preserving
kettle. The juice boils without much
foaming until it begins to thicken,
when the fire should be slackened to
prevent foaming and burning. The
red coloring matter in the juice CO.
agulates during boiling, and part of
it rises to the surface, where it can
be removed by skimming. The re-
mainder floats about in the juice,
forming red particles which gather
near the top. Toward the last of the
boiling the syrup must be watched
constantly. If the housewife has a
candy thermometer she should take
the syrup from the fire as soon as it
reaches a temperature of 220 degrees
F., otherwise she should let it cook
until a small sample on cooling is
about as thick as maple syrup.
When the boiling has finished, the
syrup can be set aside to cool in COW
cred vessels or can be poured while

Melons Make
Table Syrup

A delicious table syrup can be
made from watermelons, and it af.
fords to the farmer, according to the
farmer, according to the fruit Juice
specialists, convenient means OF
using the surplus watermelons which
otherwise are allowed to spoil in the
field. Such syrup has been made by
farmers in a small way in various
parts of the south, and 1t has been
endeavored to work out exact meth
ods of making it as a possible by
product from surplus melons. This
syrup can be used imediately or can
be bottled hot in sterilized jars and
kept just as is done in the canning
of fruit. 1t is reddish brown in color,
very sweet and well favored. and
will serve most of the purposes for
which syrup is used in the home. 1t
has been tried with satisfactory re-
suits in making ginger cake, home
made candy and as a sweetening and
flavoring in ice cream.
AS the specialists point out, while
the juice of commercial watermel-
ons, such as the Tom Watsons, "
contain on an average only about 7
per cent of sugar, or less than many
other fruit juices, the ease with
which the juice can be pressed out
partly offsets the low sugar content.
The method described below calls
only for utensils found in every
household:
Remove the pink flesh and seeds
from the rind of sweet, fully ripe
melons. Crush the flesh with a po-
tato masher or by running it through
a meat chopper. Place the crushed
pulp and seed in cloth bags and

district No. 3, whose northern bound
AIRY is the Oregon line, decided to re-
main dry at an election recently, by
a vote of 223 to II.
The district voted dry several
years ago, but following the election
in Alturas, which closed saloons in
that city, an effort was made to have
liquor licenses in district No. 8. The
state line precinct was the only one
to give the vets a majority. From
the Nevada state line near Reno to
the Canada boundary line through
California east of the iSerras, Oregon
and Washington the entire territory
is dry.

Alumni Plan TO
RAISE MONEY FOR
new DORM|TORY
First Step of kamehameha
Graduates Will Be to Give
Dance on September 4

With view to raising money to
start building fund, the members OF
the Kamehameha Alumni Association
will give a benefit concert and dance
In the Phoenix hall, Beretania and
Fort streets, on Saturday evening.
September 4.
1t is the intention of the association
to raise fund large enough to erect
a dormitory to replace the one in the
rear of the associations headquarters
in Fort street, which has been stand
ing for the last Is years. The details
of the building fund campaign were
worked out at meeting of members
of the association last night. The
plan met with the approval OF the
large gathering and each member
pledged his support to the project.
There are 10 members of the asso-
citation now living in the old dormi-
tory. The proposition of new dorrni-
tory, says President Harold Godfrey,
has been discussed for the last seven
years by the older members of the
association. No definite action was
taken until the meeting last night.
The younger element now is In con-
troll of the association, and it is out
to do its best toward getting the fund
started" President Godfrey added.
The membership of the association
was enlarged last night by the addi-
ton Of nine persons, a majority of
them being members of the newly-or-
ganized instrumental club, which Is
working hard in preparation for the
concert and dance.
Those elected to membership were

PREPARING OAHU.

News from Washington indicates that Oahu
will be given good deal of attention in the
new program looking toward real prepared
ness. 1t is seriously proposed to build about
100 new submarines, Of which 80 would be for
the Pacific and of these Honolulu would get
at least a dozen. 1t is proposed also to install
in local forts one or two 16-inch guns.
Congressman who recently visited here got a
very favorable idea of Hawaii's strategic adj
xantages but none too favorable an impression
'6f the manner in which those advantages have
been utilized, according to their statements in
mainland interviews Bigger guns, guns of
greater range, and much larger supplies Of am
lnaunifion are needed they declare with some
nnanimity. As amatter of fact, nine tenths of
the congressional visitors went away knowing
Just what local army and navy officers had told
them. The other tenth got perhaps little
more Individual insight into Hawaiis military
needs But the great point was won in i'm
pressing on the congressman the fact that Ha-
waii is american territory which needs mill
tary protection not alone for its own sake but
Just as much or more for the sake of the pro-
lection il affords the Pacific Coast.

CONSTRUCTIVE, CONCERTED EFFORT
DEMANDED.

Constructive not destructive effort is tie
manded to build up passenger facilities be-
tween Hawaii and the mainland.
instead of opening passenger traffic 10 for
eign competition, the thing for this community
and these islands to strive for is an increase in
american passenger steamers. Hawaii has a
right to demand adequate facilities of the lines
at present doing business here or to give bust
ness enough to other American lines to attract
them to the island trade And American lines
which know that Hawaii means business in
asking for an increase in passenger facilities
with the withdrawal of the Pacific Mail, will
see that the increase is furnished.
This is the kind of campaign all Hawaii
can join in. 1t is the kind of a campaign the
American lines touching here should welcome
for it would assure them against agitation for
coastwise law suspension.
One big possibility is already in sight As
told in the news columns today, the Great
Northern Steamship Company has in mind the
putting of its crack passenger liner Great
Northern on the Honoluu-C Coast run. This
liner, a queen Of the seas, making the voyage
from Honolulu to San Francisco in four and
one-half days, would be a tremendous boon to
the travelling public, resident and tourist. The
Great Northern will need the cooperation of
Hawaii's businessmen in getting enough freight
business to make the enterprise feasible.
This is one possibility. There are others. 1t
needs only the concerted effort of Hawaii, and
Honolulu in particular, to win the campaign
for increased passenger facilities, without go
ing to Congress in an effort to secure a snspen-
sion of the coastwise law. 1t should be en-
phasized that the growing tourist traffic
as well as the convenience of Honolulans de-
mands at least one more big steamer of the
FIRST class, fast and commodious making trips
twice month between the islands and San
Francisco.

PATRIOTISM AND PLAIN SENSE.

nation any examples in patriotism to go to
lengths to show reverence for the flag that
would be regarded with rdicule elsewhere in the

So Let us be content to copy the rest of the Union
in the matter and talk when undertake
to tackle plain business propositions like tourists
and steamships-The Advertiser.
Both patriotism and plain sense urge that
Hawaii shall stand by the American steamship
lines and cooperate with them in securing an
increase in passenger facilities before trying
to tear down the bars and open coastwise pas
senger trade to cheaply operated and subsi-
died foreign companies.

THE KAP1oLAN1 POLO FIELD.

Any support that the city administration
gives the project to establish polo field at
Kapiolani park will receive hearty Endorsement
from Honolulu generally. 1t is hardly neces
sary to repeat the many strong arguments in
favor of this feld-its ease of access both to the
polo men and the public, its potentialities as a
tourist attraction, the probability that it. will
give Honolulu polo games at lower admission
cost than now prevails. The polo leaders EN-
phatically favor the plants have most of the
city officials who have talked it over in the
past, but there is needed combined effort to
carry the project out.
When the bill was before the last legislature
authorizing the supervisors to lease the polo
reservation, the Star Bulletin strongly favored
the plan. As the months go by, arguments for
it increase instead Of decrease. 1t is to be-
hoped the supervisors act promptly in getting
this splendid field established for the encour-
agement of splendid sport.
