Germany Discovers
 Buckwl1eat is Good

Berlin, Feb. 2s-Professor Kuh1 of KieI after a series of scientific experi- ments, has reached .. conclusion that will be of deep interest to untold mil lions of American deyotees of gr1ddle- cakes and syrup.-namely, that buck wheat can be eaten by humans. It is a somewhat curious fact that in Germany, except in some parts of South Germany, this grain is used e1- cIusively as feed for animals. The professor finds however that a mix ture of twenty per cent. of buckwheat fIourewith wheat flour gives ian elas- tic, tough dough. which rises well with yeast and furnishes a well tasting bread.''
 In view of this, and also of the fact that buckwheat can be gown on land fit for nothing else, the professor rec ommends that it be used to eke out the wheat supply.

GERMANY AT THE PANAMA-PACIF1C INTER-
 NATIONAL EXPOSITION.

q 4 ?
 Quality. not quantity. Is the domi- many at the Panama-Pac Interna- tional Exposition. In four of the great exhibit palaces 10000 feet of space has been taken by the German government and by individual ex- trants, and these exhibits will reflect in their scope and detail the indus tries that have elevated Germany to a high place among the producing nations. Particularly is this true of chemicals, in the extensive app1ica- ton of which this nation has long led the world.
 The use of dye stuffs, for instance, which are a. principal export of Ger many, will be exhaustiyely shown, with a wornan's gown in the various stages of manufacture, from the raw material to the finished silk with par ticu1ar reference to the part dyes play as the medium of display. This will be in the Palace of Liberal Arts and in the same palace will be an elab- I crate display showing the evolution of the graphic arts such as printing and the various processes of photog- raphy. in which Germany again ex- cells the world.
 The government exhibit will be
 about equally divided between the | palaces of Education, Liberal Arts, IsVaried Industries and Machinery In
 addition to displays in these palaces l by individuals there will be fndivid-
 ua1 displays in the PaIace of Fine Arts and e1sewhe In the Palace of
 Fine Arts, for example will be a dis play representing the best forty paintings by the modern school of German artists. Altogether the part
 that Germany will play in the expo
 sition will be increased rather than decreased by the war; the same thing
 being true with Germany that is true with other warning nations; there is a strong feeling that the arts of peace should be prominently display I ed in contrast to the business of war
 in which the nations are now engag- | ed.
 The child welfare work for which lGermany is noted will be displayed with a. thoroughness under the di- l rect supervision of Dr. Philip Rauer | the eminent German sociologist. Dr. I Rauer had charge of a similar ex- hibit at Dresden which attracted a l great deal of international attention Included in the one thousand diff ferent articles on display and sub l Initted for award will be German wines, the famous Rosenthal china, 1 gold worked and beautifully embossed example of glassware from Theresi- I enthaI; a splendid exhibit by the I HenkeI, So1fngen, Twin Steel works
 known over the world for the quail | ty of their steel and cutlery and the largest reproducing organ in the
 world from F'rieberg. This latter vii l be inTtfe Palace of Liberal Arts. . Bavarian vases will be shown

promise OF becoming lusty child. The
funeral occurred at Bakersfield, where
Mrs Danky passed away at a hospital.
Though she had the best of care and
skilled medical attention, all human
efforts were useless.
On his way back to Honolulu Mr..
Danky stopped for few days at San
Francisco, meeting there a number of
former Honolulans, including several
newspapermen who used to work here.
Among them are Henry Walker, form.
erly Of the Bulletin, now with the
Chronicle, and Ed Irwin, who was with
the Bulletin, Advertiser and also ran
a weekly for awhile. He is now with
the Associated Press.
At the exposition Danky met Char
man Wood of the Hawaii Commission.
Commissioner John Effinger and Carl
Nieper Of the Hawaii building staff.
He reports that the building is popu-

be called elaborate. However, the
building has developed into meeting
place for folks from Hawaii as well
as many others.
San Francisco is lively and the ex-
position is fine" says Danky. News

every courtesy by the exposition man

for correspondence, if they wish to do
any, and they are at once made the

Board of Health Inspectors Will
Descend in Force Tomorrow
= Morning; Fight to Finish


Bright and early tomorrow morning
six board of health inspectors, headed
by Harry KIemme, will descend upon
the Waikiki district with a view TO
driving out the mosquito forces which
have been invading that vicinity with
unusual activity during the last few
weeks.
Said Inspector KIemme today: 1T
is known 10 the board of health that
at this time of the year mosquitoes
abound in great flocks in the WAIKIKI
district. Starting tomorrow we are
going TO fight them. and the contest
will be to a finish.
Starting at the duckponds south OF
the city proper, the campaign will be
waged straight through Waikiki as
far as the Diamond Head lighthouse
II will be house-to-house campaign
and nothing that might provide a
breeding-place fer the winged pests will
be overlooked Oil, which has been
found 10 be an excellent preventive,
will be used where necessary If 1t
is deemed advisable prisoners will be
called in to assist in the work.
In order to carrying out this cam
Eaign effectively, we will have to have
the cooperation OF the householders in
the district" said Inspector Klemme.
They can be of great assistance If

GREATER NAVAL

IS GARY'S Plea
tccntinued from page one,

waiian islands, in their present unpro-
tected state, easily could be taken by
a foreign force. He urged not cnly
the rtifioation of the islands at all
strategic points, but the establishment
of great land forces and better naval
protection there.
Urges Larger Navy.
On the need of larger American
navy, Judge Gary was emphatic. He
declared that no time should be lest
in building more ships until Uncle
Sans navy was the largest in the
world.
During his visit to the ISLANDS Judge
Gary visited practically every point OF
interest and was deeply impressed, lie
saws, by the Inadequate defenses. He
declared today that the project of for
tifying Pearl Harbor and other strate-
aic points should be carried through
as soon as possible.
Judge Gary made no comment on
the estimate of army engineers that
the Notifications would cost sl5.0G0,-
900. but said that the .defenses would
mean sn expenditure of at least sew
eral millions.
The Hawaiian islands would be the
buffer for the whole west coast OF the

While we freely admit that the with

that in question of this kind we

freight. 1t was rumored here lately
that some of our shippers had been
diverting freight to tramp steamers

juring their business relations with
the local companies. Their right to do
this is unquestioned, but is it good
policy when taken into consideration
that the steamers calling here on reg

small freight in the off sugar season :?
Such conditions injure our chances Of
appeal to the local companies to re-
spond to existing conditions in the
passenger traffic? However, 1t is
hoped that whatever action our COM

ton that they will be able to come

side,'' said Judge Gary.
Great Naval Base.
"The Hawaiian islands are so situ-
ated that they must become the great-
est naval base in the world. A for
eign force could easily take the ISL
ands at the present time. There is no
adequate protection there.
The thing NEST essential next to
the Notifications themselves is a
greater land force and better naval
protection
Judge Gary admitted that subma-
rines might play an important part in
the defense of the islands. Then, re-
ferring to the need of great defenses
for the entire country, he declared:
The United States must have a
larger navy. We must begin building
ships at once and continue building
until we have the largest navy in the
world.
The United States must have a
larger navy than any other nation in
the world to protect this long coast
line, hold its outlying possessions and
protect its commerce on the seas"
While in Honolulu Judge and Mrs.
Gary were extensively entertained.

Judge Gary said laughingly that he
had given up all hope of eating poi

to emulate the natives.

Complaint was made yesterday of
an old scheme that Is being worked
by the Hawaiian Village concession
on the Zone, says the San Francisco
Examiner of August /.
The visitor to the place pays an adj
mission fee of 10 cents and witnesses
a performance more or less Hawaiian
in character. After this a spieler
makes an announcement.
He makes an ornate little talk to the
effect that, while his appeal is only
to those of high ethical standard,
there is to be seen below a perform
ance of the hula so primitive that 1t
may be referred to only by cautious
evasions.
1T is the hula as danced 20 years
ago." he says, and manages to leave
